There was fellow came in to-
tday and looked round him much
as a tourist stares at the crown
Ijools in the tower of London. His
mouth watered at string of sau-
lsages, but he was on a meat strike
and bean diet. He asked If we
had got to where we were selling
flour in four-ounce packages like
ltea.
This food-strike idea is getting
to be regular religious rite with
some people. Some of them are
also on an egg strike. But I'm
afraid the only effective egg
strike will be one put over by the
hens. There's no such thing as an
|uncoveted egg-if it's fresh.

COMET MAY KILL
ALL EARTH
LIFE ""'-

(By United Press Leased Wire
BOSTON, Mass, Feb. S.-Sci-
entists of Boston and Cambridge
appear today to be divided IN
their opinion as to the effect upon
the life of the earth of the cyano-
gen that is believed to be present
in teh tail of Halley's comet. That
cyanogen bands show prominently
in the comets spectra was estab-
lished at Yerkes observatory yes
terday, according to messages re-
ceived here.
This fact was made known to
Camille Flammarion, the French
scientist, who ventured the opin-
ion that the gas, which is color
less, poisonous and has an almond
like odor, may possibly destroy all
life on the earth.
The majority of local scientists
are not inclined to agree with
Flammarion. They believe that
the gas of the comets tail is so
rarified that it will be repealed
by the earth.

to the order of the federal circuit

The supreme court also must
decide whether the vast tobacco
trust has been conducted in vio-
lation of the law.
AS the day approaches for the
announcement of these decisions,
the nervousness of the Interests

preme court will hand down its
decisions.
Taft Won't Push 1t.
II the excitement in Wall street
was caused yesterday by the m
PRODUCTION of the federal incor-
poration bill. the financiers were
frightened by shadow.
Taft has no intention of press
ing the bill to passage at this ses-
sion. 1t Is doubtful If he could
prod congress into passing it even
if he was determined to do so.
The measure was introduced IN
order that the committees might
thresh out it's faults and virtues
and put it into shape as far DIS
possible.
Washington Disturbed.
President Taft does not relish
the intimation of threats from
Wall street. Official Washington
as whole does not like the sug-
gestion that the interests" NAV
have fixed up little panic" for
the purpose of influencing the SUI
preme court of the United States.
No one is to be found here who
would suggest the barest posi-
bility of the nations highest tri-
buna1 being affected by such a
move, but there are many in the
circles of officialdom who look
upon such an attempt as "most
unpleasantly insolent," to say the
least.

People are so worried over the
high cost of living that they go

They carefully ask the prices

What CLAWS got before the

the thiatl degree. They didn't
knock him down with blackjacks,
it is true, or beat him with their
fists. The most successful chiefs
of police today, however, agree
that physical violence is not nee
essary to confuse a mans pres
ence of mind and to reduce him
to semi-hypnosis, The basis of the
third degree is a rain of questions
from a number of men; questions
that seem irrelevant, trivial ques-
tions, mixed with questions de-
signed to trip the victim to his
downfall. Those same chiefs of
police agree, too, that there is but
one defense against the third
degree, and that is the truth.
