II Must Be Nice

A recent issue of Punch, has the
following description of a society fad
introduced by Mrs. Nicholas Longworth
and her sister, Miss Ethel Roosevelt:
The Roller skate Walk, introduced by
Mrs Nicholas Longworth and Miss
Ethel Roosevelt (says the Washington
correspondent of the Evening Standard)
promises to outshine the Gibson Walk
In popularity. 1t is cross between
the military tread of the chorus girl in
comic opera and the glide of the premier
toe dancer. The ball of the foot is
planted first, the legs are kept straight,
the body erect on the hips, and as far as
possible the walker glides. a.. . .. .
This looks little complicated, but is
nothing to some other modes of progress.

Colouel George Harvey, the caustic
editor of Harper's Weekly, hands New
ada the following: THE senate of the
powerful state of Nevada, with its pop.
ulation of AZ, 335 souls, including, China
men, Indians, MonGolians and Japanese,
is reported to have tabled the Dodge
resolution Of the Nevada assembly ask
ing for war fleet in the. Pacific, and
referring to the Japanese as menace to

action. "Why should Nevada worry /?
Most of its valuable property is deep
under ground and can only be detached
by blasting powder. Invaders could not
spare time to get it out. If they did get
some of it, Nevada would be little worse
off, ever since the state began business,
folks elsewhere have been getting metals
out Of her mountains and taking them
away, and of all who have done so, only
one has ever sent anything back to bene-
fit the state. That is what q missionary
from Nevada said the other day, and
added that the one mine owner who had
remembered Nevada to her benefit is
Clarence Mackay. At any rate, Nevada
need not worry. IL the Japanese shi ps
look scary, the population can climb q

ing ths2 official vote 20 to 18 on the
passage. of the bill. I
Several amendments were offered to
the bin but all of them were voted
down. The friends of the bill stood
pat on it as it came from the committee
and followed the lead of the veteran,
Lem Allen, on all amendments and de-
feated them as fast as they were pro-
posed. AS the bill passed it goes into
effect January 1, 1910
The assembly chamber was crowded
to its utmost capacity during the con.
sideration of the bill and many were
unable to get within hearing distance
of the proceedings. When the re-
suit was announced, the crowd broke
out in applause which lasted several
minutes
The sporting fraternity of Reno was
out in force, but their arguments fell on
deaf ears. The manhood of Nevada
was on trial and gloriously the majority
of the members met the issue.
The action of the assembly OH this
bill is splendid answer to the appeals
that have been made to the manhood of
its members. By their votes, they have
shown that the public conscience of
Nevada is very much alive on matters
that touch the home
IS All honor to the assemblymen who
listened to the, public voice and by their
votes did their part toward driving
licensed gambling from this state.
If the senate follows the lead of the
assembly, Nevada will have reason to
be proud of her present legislature.

NO MORE PARTY
LINE PHONES?
Bell Company Reported to
Have Such a Plan Under
Consideration

Plans are under consideration by the
Bell Telephone Company that will re-
suit in the elimination OF virtually all
the party line phones by the installa-
tion Of a single trunk wire system,
without any increase in cost 10 the
subscribers. according to an announce
ment in Philadelphia
Changes Of this character have been
made in Washington. where large
numbers OF party lines have been
placed on single service wires, and
the new system has proved so salts
afctory, both TO the company and TO
the subscribers. that II has been re-
solved to adopt IL here.
About % per cent. Of the telephones
in service in Philadelphia on the Bell
system are on party lines, and it is the
intention first to cut this figure in half
and ultimately to eliminate lines that
contain more than one subscriber.
At the office OF the ID. and A. or Bell
Telephone Company in this city to-
day it was stated that no informa-
tion had been received OF an intention
eventually to abolish party lines. There
are many d. and A. party lines in this
city.

MILK FAMINE
NOW MENAES
Product Being Shipped to
Philadelphia And Causes
Scarcity in Wilmington

Many retail milk dealers of this city
are greatly inconvenienced because Of
a scarcity Of milk. and many Of them are
unable to get enough 10 serve their pa
irons.
In fact, the scarcity Of milk has be-
come alarming to many Of the dealers,
and the result has been that many per-
sons are unable to get the quantity OF
milk they require daily in their homes.
Several reasons are given for the scar
city, one being due TO conditions on the
dairy farms, but the chief cause seems
TO be that milk is being bought up by
agents for Philadelphians and is being
shipped to that city where a price is
paid in advance Of the wholesale price
paid in this city.
Because Of the scarcity OF milk in
Wilmington some OF the dealers have
started bidding for the product and the
result Is that the wholesale price Of milk
has been jumped in some instances. One
man who paid several hundred dollars for
a milk route recently has been unable for
a week to get half enough milk for his
route, and another retailer had adopted
the plan Of serving one-half his route
one day and then serving the other half
the next day.
