Concerning the breakfast Table.

concerning the breakfast Table.
Referring to the alleged Degeneration of
the Breakfast Table, a writer in Every
body's Magazine relieves his mind in this
way:
81 I'm, aware that, according to the latest
edition of the revised statutes, eating pie
at breakfast is now a penitentiary offense
punishable by hard labor on the farm for
a period not exceeding eighty-five years;
but it once shared with early rising the
reputation of a virtuous act. There are
people today who are we'll thought Of in

American


For us Europeans there certainly exists
a physical type Of American woman" says
Marcel Provost, the great French ~psycholo-
gist. in the January number of Harper's
Bazaar.
I'm vain do 1 say to myself that 1 have,
with my own eyes, seen American women
of small stature; others with brown skin
AMI hair like that of Italian women; still
others endowed with a rather generous
plumpness; In vain again do l say to my
self that as the population of the United
States recruits itself in all countries OF
the globe It must naturally contain specl-
mems of every size, of every color Of face
and hair; In spite OF everything the two
words, American woman evoke before
my mind a tall person, rather slender,
though vigorous looking; with rather light,
auburn hair, a complexion agreeably, but
not excessively, colored. -" 1 am think
ing at this moment of a real American,
Mrs. s., who the season before last, in
1908, was indeed a lion in Partisan society.
A very fair blonde. tall and slender, with
the most beautiful complexion in the world
and eyes Of a delightful blue. She danced
so perfectly that, obllvious OF all else, one
could have watched her for hours. I'M
possible to win greater popularity than she
enjoyed that year. She eclipsed-according
to many Frechmen-the most celebrated of
our professional Partisan beauties, Nine.
L. whom, by an amusing coincidence,
she resembled slightly. Well!-that is how
1 imagine the American woman, taking into
consideration, of course, all the differences
which would separate an ordinary woman
from an exceptional one like Mrs. s..
But even with less b%rilliancy, grace, and
i real beauty II Unu1d he a nrivilepa i, a.
self to be compared to the fascinating Mrs.
S.
when 1 sit down at table beside an
American woman of Paris, she Immediately
asks me: Have you seen such and such a
play? Have you been to such and such ar
art exhibition? What do you think of this
novel or of that philosophical or historical,
book recently published?' And
am forced to admit that l have not seer
the latest play, that for more than Ter
years / have not set my foot inside the
annual salons that / read slowly and
carefully, and am therefore forced to read
but few books. And 1 know my American
n~eighbor feels great disdain for my in.
culture. Still 1 have infinite SYM
pathy for her charming and universal in
tellectual curiosity; only long experience,
has taught me that mans head cannot con
tain too many ideas at once.
There is consequently an abyss between
the way most American women 1 have me
conceive intellectual culture and my owl
way. Far from me to pretend that / an
right! And 1 give thanks to heaven, which
sends US, in the American women of Paris

honor of being professor of French to young
American girls l would begin with the fol-
lowing truthful anecdotes:

and that a fair stunt for his Carter
cars would be to send one or two of
them directly up the Flight made for
the winged people who reside in the
realms above.
Returning to his warerooms instruc-
tions were at once given that two cars
be sent to the top, and accordingly at
2 o'clock this afternoon a handsome
new Roadster bearing the brand of
Cartercar and q delivery car will be
dispatched up this grade, which is 4S
per cent elevation.
The Roadster is a 25 horsepower four
cylinder motor car right from the stock
on the floor of the Woolwine agency,
and the delivery wagon tWo-cylinder
"a horsepower machine as is used in
general delivery service on the streets
of the city, of which the Woolwine
agency has sold a large number lately.
To the ordinary observer, this would
seem like an impossible feat, and
would be to ordinary cars, but the
Cartercar is an extraordinary car, ana
has performed more difficult feats than
climbing Angels Flight. In many of
the eastern and southern cities grades
of full 30 per cent have been mounted
from a standing start without ever a
hitch. Creeping up schoolhouse steps
is but commonplace stunts for the Car
tercar, and there will be a large crowd
to witness the initiation of the auto
mobile in the innovation of visiting
the angels instead of the old standby,
the present elevator cars in service.
F. r. Pendleton, the efficient, dem
onstrator from the Cartercar factory,
will handle the cars In their upward
flight, with which he has had many
experiences

SWIMMING RACES AT Y. M. C. A.

A large crowd OF persons turned out
yesterday evening for the swimming
races held in tho natatorium of the
Young Mems Christian association.
Remarkably good time was made in
every event, w. II. Barker and IT. J..
Hewlett swimming a fast century,
noses apart, in 1912 2-5.
The occasion for the races was the
anniversary of the opening of the new
building. Victor Schott, a professional
life saver, entertained the spectators
by remaining under water for 1 min
ute and 27 seconds. During the eX-
hibition of Schott, A. d. Riethmuller
became so excited that he pulled off
his coat and jumped into the water In
an heroic effort to save the life of the
supposedly drowning man. Riethmul-
Ter grabbed Schott by the collar and
pulled him to .he surface when the
latter quietly explained that he would
have preferred to have remained sub
merged for a greater length of time.
Following are the results:
100-yard swim-T. j. Hewlett won,
w. H. Barker second. Time 1915 2-5.
50-yard swim-Emil Allen won, H.
Cameron second. Time :36 2-5.
Nail driving contest-Richard Jones
won.
Boys 2s-yard dash-Roy Coleman
won, R. Wissing second, Greayer Col
yer third. Time 20 seconds.

No better example of what the motor
truck means in the transportation of
freight over the horse drawn vehicle,
than the work of the Rapid motor
truck. which the Woolwine Motor Car

been handling the freight between
Santa Ana and Laguna beach by horse
teams. The distance is twenty-one
miles and the horse drawn freight wag-
ons were able to make one-way trip
per day. Since the purchase of the

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-The Rock
Island system has just placed orders
for equipment representing an ex-

great increase of railroad traffic in the
west and southwest.
The equipment includes all kinds of
rolling stock, freight cars, locomotives
and passenger equipment. The orders
contemplated q short time ago, were
to include only about 1000 cars and a
few new locomotives, but the returns
from the traffic officials have been so
favorable as to induce the road Off
cials to increase the order to about
5000 box cars, 40 passenger cars and
1876 locomotives.
The passenger cars are TO be all

Pennsylvania recent order for all

In the Hall of the Doges at Daven-

that Spokane is the home of the big
red apple. The finest specimens Of ap-
pies grown in the inland empire will
be used in the decorations, nearly
10000 apples being used for this pur-
pose alone. Apples will be served
wherever possible on the elaborate
menu, and various viands will be
served in the hollowed-out shells of the
largest apples grown anywhere.
Menu cards and special table deco
rations will be beautiful and artistic

IMPORTATION OF ALIENS is
STRONGLY DENOUNCED
International Strike Breaking Also
condemned-Trades Congress
AdJourns to Meet in 5uda-
pest in 1911

PARIS, Sept. 1.-Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation of
Labor, addressed the international
trades unions congress again today.
He denounced international strike
breaking and declared the systematic
immigration Of workmen in times OF
depression and strikes in other coun-
tries to be one of the greatest menaces
of organized labor.
Mr.. Gompers' proposal for organiziug
an international federation of workmen
could not be discussed because the
American Federation of Labor is not
affiliated with the European unions,
but a British resolution of the same irl~
port was adopted.
The conference then passed a resolu-
ton against workmen offering their
services at times when dockmen and
stevedores strike. The conference ad-
journed to meet at Budapest in 1911.
