Once upon time, in the days when

Tibetan Skull Drur S.

A drum of an extreme responsiveness
OF nature is one used by the lamas of
Tibet at some of their church cere-
monies. For this the craniums of two
skulls, preferably children's, are taken.
and over the concave side Of each is
stretched the skin of a snake. The two
skulls are then cemented at the YER
tice to either side of a wooden disk COW
cred with Il cotton cloth, the stretched
skins being Outermost. These drums
are often ornamented by having the
heads of devils and such like horrors,
the more repulsive the better, painted
upon them in red and blue colors The
method employed in playing them is
rather curious. To the wooden disk
between the two halves a cord is fas.
tened by which the drum can be sus-
pended and then rapidly rotated. Two
short cords with knobs at their ends
hang down in such a way that as the
drum revolves they strike alternately
on either face and thus produce rag.

Mr.. Hope dropped his handkerchief

down and grabbed him by the tail and
twisted and shouted. Away went the
frightened bovine on a gallop, and
Miss Darboy was assisted down. Two

Commodity Clause Constitutional

Washington, D. c., May 3-(Spe-
ciaD.-That the commodities clause of
the interstate commerce act of 1906,
known as the Hepburn rate law, is
constitutional was today in effect de-
clared by the United States supreme
court. The court reversed and re-
manded the decision of the United
States circuit court, but the only di-
rections were to enforce and apply the
statute as it is now construed.
The commodities clause forbids rail-
roads transporting products they pro-
duce. 1t is aimed to prevent railroads
owning coal mines and, by discrimin-
ating in their own favor as to rates,
Killing off competition. 1t has been
charged that the coal-carrying roads
of the east maintained a monopoly of
the anthracite business, fixing the
price regardless of supply and demand.
Under the law as passed the roads
were ordered to dispose of coal mine
holdings by May 1, 1908, but the time
was extended and then came the Phil
adelphia decision temporarily over
throwing the law. By todays ruling
the roads can be compelled to sell
their coal mines on reasonable notice
from the government.

Bedutify the River Banks

The following appeal made by THE
Milwaukee Outdoor Art association
offers such practical suggestions that
our own local organization wishes to
call the attention of all interested in
beautifying our river to this excel
lent article:
1--WE ask that the merchants and
property owners along the river will
remove as soon as possible rubbish,
ash heaps, old boxes, barrels, cans
and papers that makes the place I'M
slightly.
We have some suggestions to offer
as to what may be planted with best
results on the cleared spaces.
Where a foot or more of soil in
depth is at the disposal of the gar
dener the following can be planted
with good results:
For spaces not exceeding six feet
wide, between windows, plant poplars
as they grow tall and do not spread.
In spaces thirty feet wide or in
corners of buildings plant elms, which
grow high and spread at the top.
At the base of rainpipes from caves
plant bitter-sweet vines. These will
support themselves about 1.-THE pipes
and branch at the top into beautiful
verdure, which is enriched in fall by
gorgeous red and yellow berries.
On wall spaces plant ampelopsis
englamanni, being careful that the
englamanni is secured, as this variety
has little roots which adhere to THE
wall and so support the vine.
On the edge of the embankmen
plant dwarf willows and dogwood.
These will form fringe along the
river edge and not grow tall enough
to interfere with windows.
All ground space can be advantage
ously sown with grass and white
clover seed"

HiUh School Debate

Last evening the annual joint de-
bate between the Forum and the
Webster Debating clubs of the local
high school, took place in the high
school assembly room. The Ques-
ton, Resolved, That the recall las
used in Los Angeles, would be bene-
fetal to Wisconsin Cities" was de-
bated. The affirmative side was
argued by Gustavus Weihert, Alex
Hardie and Ray Stanton, and the
negative was upheld by Ray Mead
ans, Herbert Baurichter and John Sa-
lick. The boys on the affirmative en-
deavored to show that municipal af-
fairs as they are managed today are
not satisfactory and that the peoples
extent they should be. They contend
ed that if an officer could be recalled
by the people who elected him, he
would be more careful of his official
acts. They cited a number of cases
where aldermen, after being elected,
worked for their own selfish ends,
and the peoples rights were disre-
garded. AS a remedy for these con-
ditions, they advocated the recall sys-
tenn, similar to that used at the pres
ent time in Los Angeles, which gives
the people power to recall any cor
rupt official if twenty-five per cent of
the qualified voters in the city de-
mand it.
The boys on the negative side
argued that the system was imprac-
ticable, and that it would be produc-
tive of more mischief than good in
the cities of Wisconsin. They con-
tended that the city officials would be
at the mercy, whims and passions of
the people at all times, and that it
would be possible, where political
parties or factions were evenly divid-
ed, to recall good men. Too, they
showed how INSCRIPTIONS men were
in signing petitions and that the sys-
tenn would be operative only when the
public passion was aroused. The
boys read letters from prom nent men
in cities where the recall has been in
vogue, which denied successful oper-
aClOn OF the system.
The debate was warmly contested
on both sides, but the boys on the
negative showed greater preparation
and presented their arguments in a
more systematic and forcible manner.

judges.
The Judges were ATTORNEYS John G..
