aulson-Barnes Reopen
Saturday With a Big
Strengthening Fire Sale

When one stops to consider the
variety of stock carried by Paul
son-Barnes Co. on 18th and c sts.,
and the thousands of glassware,
crockery and kitchen utensils, to
say nothing of the we'll known
lines of teas and coffees, ETC., etc..
the thought naturally arises: What
sensation a real sale would ere
ate. The fire that recently put
Paulson-Barnes Co. to such incon-
venience necessitated some ar
rangement to close out the damag-
ed stock. This store always prides
itself on its trade, the quality of
its merchandise and the care of its
customers, resulting in Paulson-
Barnes Co. employing the services
OF a local wrecking company to
clear out what the fire had left.
And what a sight the store is:
prices showing in plain figures
loom up on all sides that will warm
the heart of the thrifty housewife.
what matter if it is a little smok-
ed, the value is there Just the
same. Nothing, of course, that is
badly burned will be put in the
sale. oh, no, this has all gone to
the junk pile; the best has been
reserved by the wrecking company
to turn over to the bargain hunt
ers on Saturday.

His Spring Suit Is Both Noisy and Ladylike
Custom Cutters Show
Off New Styles for Well Dressed
Men, and They're Pretty Nearly
the Limit.

NEW YORK, Feb. You can
still speak of the well-dressed man
as "he." But it will take a strain
ing of the eyes to not call him
"she" at first glance. That much
is due to the well-dressed man this
spring, after look at the fashion
show of the Custom Cutters asso-
citation of America, held at the
Hotel Aston.
1t may be the suffraget move
ment, or it-may not be; but it is
certain SOMETHING is making
mems styles look more like skirts
every year. Take the new opera
cape overcoat, for example. 1t
hangs from the shoulders to the
knees, is lined with silk, and is
buttoned up the front like a direc-
toire gown. Gentlemen riding to
the opera in taxicabs will sport it.
Fine for the taxi drivers! In case
of the frequent argument over the
fare. the passenger can't defend
himself with his cape on.
When Mr.. Well-dressed Man en-
tiers the theater or opera house, he
will spring another surprise. For
his evening coat will be more like
a gown than an article of male at
tire. Instead of silk facing, there
will be velvet ruche or shawl
collar circling his neck. It's great
for people disposed toward colds.

lostrich feather boa.
Max Marx, arbiter OF fashion to-
the tenderloin, says he wouldn't be-
surprised to see men wearing
feather boas before long IL the

CHICAGO. ILL.,, Jan. 31-Things
are getting hot for the big Chicago
beef monopoly. Not only has the
government determined to shake
the secrets of high prices of food
out of it, but the labor hosts OF
Chicago are preparing to demand
that the government take over and
run the stockyards plants for the
benefit of all the people.
President John Fitzpatrick and
Secretary Edward Nockels of the
Chicago Federation of Labor, in is
suing a general call to demand this
course by the government, have
the backing of more than 100000
workingmen and women of this
city.
They have urged, in behalf of
these victims of food trust extor-
ton, that all workers, whether or
ganized or not, start movement
to bring about immediate govern
ment ownership of all packing and
cold storage plants in the United
States. When this is done, they
say the consumers will have an
abundance of all kinds of meat at
greatly reduced cost. They say
that under government ownership
prices could be Immediately reduc-
ed one-third.
The right of eminent domain
that of public necessity-author-
ICES the immediate seizure by con-
domination of all packing plants,
and the reimbursement of their
owners for their actual - not
watered values-by the same pro-
cess that has been honored by law
for centuries and under which
railroads and other public service
utilities get their right of way and
lands. This is the contention of
the labor leaders.
While the estimated valuation
of the entire packing industry of
America is about $700,000,000,
these men say the actual value of
the physical properties of the
packing plans, private car lines
and cold storage houses, will not
exceed one-third of the sum men
toned, the rest is watered stock.
BY acquiring these plants it is
believed the government can re-
duce the cost of meat production
by at least half. The government
owns range lands in millions of
acres, and could raise cattle. This
would furnish an unlimited supply
of livestock.
1t could also raise sheep and
hogs in such numbers that mutton
and pork would be cheapened
within reason.
"The government should go in
to the business to furnish food to
the people, not for profit" says
President Fitzpatrick.
There will be howl from
those who are willing to protect
packers profits and continue pub
lie starvation that such a plan is
socialistic. Every proposition for
the improvement of living condi-
tions is denounced as socialistic.

The Seas Ventilation,

One Of the reasons formerly urged
against the existence OF living crea-
lures In the abysses OF the ocean was
the supposed absence Of oxygen there.
1t was deemed impossible that any
considerable quantity Of oxygen
could exist at great depths. But dis
coveries of recent date have shown
that there iB no lack of oxygen even
at the greatest depths. The explana-
tion is that the cold water of the
polar regions, charged with the oxy-
gen from the atmosphere, creeps
along the bottom toward the equator
from both poles and thus carries a
supply Of oxygen over the whole vast
floor of the oceans. The surface wa
ter moves toward the poles, and so
a great system of circulation exists.
We're it not for this world circulation.
one authority assures us, 1t Is alto
gether probable that the ocean would
in time become too foul to sustain
animal life, at least in It's higher
manifestations, and the sea, the
mother OF life, would itself be dead.

When Folks Feared Gas.

In the early days of the last CEN
fury, when Illuminating gas was first
used in London, timorous people talk
ed of the dangers Of suffocation and
of explosions to which gas, which
was still imperfectly purified, exposed
the citizens. Scientists confirmed
these assertions, and the first gasomet-
ers erected In London by Samuel
Clegg so terrified the people that no
work man would venture to light the
gas Jets which had been placed on
Westminster Bridge. But Clegg soon
overcame this difficulty by lighting a
torch and applying it to the burners
with his own hands. On another oc-
casion before a committee of the
Royal Society of London he bored a
hole in the gas holder and put light
ed candle to 1t, to the great alarm
Of the spectators, but without caus-
ing the slightest accident. Gradual
ly the eyes even of the most preju-
diced were opened to the truth.

Distilled Gold.

The Investigations OF French
chemist show that gold in the electric
furnace boils freely at n temperature
of 2,400 degrees g. In two or three
minutes, 1t is said, from 100 to $50
grams Of gold pass into the state OF
vapor. In condensing upon a cold
body this golden vapor forms filiform
masses and cubic crystals. At its
temperature of ebullition gold dis
solves little carbon, which at the
time of rehabilitation is deposited In
the form of graphite. In an alloy of
gold and copper, copper distills first.
In an Glloy of gold and tin, the tin dis
tills more abundantly than the gold,
and when a large quantity OF these
mixed vapors is taken the tin burns
on contact with the oxygen of the air,
forming oxide Of tin, colored purple
by fine dust of condensed gold This
is one method Of preparing the color
known as purple Of Cassius. "-Har.

SENSIBLE PLAN FOR
WINTER WARDROBE
Wait Until the Unsettled State
Of Styles Settle.

There may be nothing in the sugges-
ton, but one woman who is always
well dressed has announced that she is
going to put off getting her new win
ter gowns as long as possible this year
because she thinks that the fashions
are in an unsettled state just now
After January she looks for definite
changes. Just now she thinks it is
pretty hard to tell which way the wind
will blow, and she doesn't want to buy
too many things until she is sure.
And In the meantime this provident
woman Is going to get along by max
ing over her old gowns. Skirts are to
be closely fitted and cut off a little be-
low the knee. The lower part OF the
skirts will be finished with wide bands
Any pieces of fur she has in the
house will be pressed into service for
trimming, for she knows that the
more fur she can put on her gowns
whether for afternoon, evening or
street wear, the better
Her old evening frocks she will do
over by replacing the foundation slips
with those Of contrasting color or a
different shade of the same color, be
cause she believes that the self toned
effects which have been good so long
have just about gone out.

Form of Divorce In Old Rome.

In the earlier period of the Roman
Republic divorces were quite TN
known, and were rare right up to the
time of the Sultan Wars. In the old
days the husband and wife who
wished to separate appeared for the
last time before the common hearth,
a priest and priestess being present.
AS on the day of marriage. a cake of
wheaton -four was presented to the
husband and wife, but instead of
sharing it between them they reject
ed it. Then, instead of prayers, they
pronounced formulas of a strange, Sc
we're, spiteful character, by which the
wife renounced the worship and gods
of the husband. From that moment
the religious bond was broken, and,
the community of worship having
ceased to exist, the marriage, with
out further ado, was forever dissolved.
