A WAY TO SAVE MONEY

Up in the small mountain towns of
Colorado the hotels and saloons de-
pend, to large extent, on the fisher
men, hunters and other such visitors
for their existence. And, as a rule,
the man from the city is charged
higher prices for his accommodations
and drinks than is the native.
In Sulphur Springs recently q Dem
yer newspaper man Oh fishing trip
went into a saloon for a glass of beer.
One of the town loafers made himself
acquainted with the visitor, thereby
securing an invitation to ''have some-
thing" The Denver man was so cor
dial to the loafer that the latter i'm
mediately began to take a deep per-
sonal interest in HIM. After the first
drink the visitor ordered another round.
The bartender charged 20 cents for the
first two beers, although they were
very small and of a poor grade. When
the second round was called for the
loafer became very grateful and de-
cided to do his new-found friend a
favor. Taking him to one side, while
the bartender was serving the beer, he
said:
Friend, I'm going to do you a favor
going to give you tip that will save
you money"
What is it?" asked the Denver man.
Take off your collar and necktie and
they'll only charge you nickel for
beer in this town." said the grateful

RACKET SPORT IS

Hold Tourney in Near

The top of the season in the racket
welding line is on at Avalon, the
courts of the Country club are filed
daily with vacation enthusiasts and
the game is thriving among fans young
and old. A tournament will be held
during the latter part of August for
the island championship, in which
number of the local cracks will COM
pete.
During last season tennis outshone
the game of the green and club and
several Journeys were held during the
summer season that aroused a great
deal of interest. The present year prom
ises even better, although the Country
club links are in regular use and there
is no slack in the golfers perseverance
in pursuing the Colonel. The guests
on the isle who come over for a day
or two find 1t easier to pack racket
than q half-dozen clubs or so and
well, at any rate the court followers
outnumber the golfers by good ma
jority.
1t Ia probable that the schedule OF
two years ago will be followed when
handicap and class tourney was held,
all players qualifying and receiving
a handicap in the preliminary round
robin play and then being drawn for
the regular match tourney.
A number of stars have been dis
covered on the island courts and

season would attract the elect of the
players who are summering at the

GIRL LABORS 8 DAYS;
Gets g CENTS WAGES
New York Judge Scores Manu-
facturers Who Pay Employees
Starvation Wages

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-Judge George
G. Hitchcock, sitting as the judge or
the juvenile court, Friday scored man
ufacturers who employ young girls at
starvation wages, and denounced the
practice as one that did much to ruin
the morals of young women.
Judge Hitehcock's TRADE against the
practice was inspired by the case of
Anna Roman, II years old, who, &C
cording to Max PasWel, probation
officer, worked three days in skirt
factory for 32 cents. a fraction more
than 10 cents day.
Anna is the oldest of large family
of children, and lives with her mother
and brothers and sisters at 1906 Carr
street. The family is destitute, the
father being in New York and unable
to contribute anything to its support,
Mrs. Roman had appealed to the jew
ish Charities, and the manager had
agreed to provide transportation for
the family to New York.
Anna found employment in the skirt
factory shortly before aid came. Ac-
cording to Paswell, she was forced to
work very hard all day. When Pas
we'll found the family in destitute cir
cumstances he began to make arrange
ments for placing some of the children
in a home. Then the Jewish charities
came to their aid, and PasweQ went
wages"
Paswell says when he inquired for
the child's pay he was handed 30 cents.
In surprise he inquired how long she
had been employed in the factory.
"Three days." Paswell says the fore
woman replied. But she didn't do
much work 1 had to teach her ev-
erything."
Paswell, aroused, went to the treas
urer of the firm and demanded an eX-
PLANTATION, threatening prosecution for
employing a child under IA years of
age. The treasurer, Paswen says,
handed him a dollar with the remark
that it was charity and not pay. :"
The forewoman contributed another
dollar with the same phrase. 1--WE
aren't paying her this; it's simply out
of pity that we give it to her."
Paswell reported the matter to Judge
Hitchcock Thursday, and he stated a
thorough inquiry should be made.
1.-THE idea that human being should
labor for a few cents day is prepos-
ferrous and smacks of slave days." he
declared from the bench
The manager of the skirt company
stated the Roman girl had been en-
ployed in the factory to learn a trade.
and was being paid tor ner work by
the piece. The rate for sewing skirt
seams by hand. at which Anna was
employed, is cents per skirt. She re-
ceived pay for all she accomplished,
the manager said. He does not remem-

A LOWERING AERoPLANE

A flying machine that hovers is the
latest promise in aviation. Instability
when the wind is high is the conspic-
uous defect in the best aeroplanes we
have now. They climb and swerve by
fitting, and there Is always the danger
that they may fail to right themselves
when it is wanted that they should.
All these defects are overcome, If the
assertion of a Washington scientist is
made good. His machine, so he prom
ises, can be made TO stand still in the
air even when the engine is stopped.
1t will be self-balancing in flight. More
than that, he promises a lifting power
of 1900 pounds, which is greater than
any of the present machines has. He
promises, too to fly 800 miles without
alighting, which would be another
point of superiority over the best OF
our present-day flying machines. The
difference between the first and the
latest automobile is probably not much
greater than will be the difference be-
tween the aeroplane of today and that
of twenty years from now.-Galveston
