The West Side Young Mems Chris
tian association has established a
course Of instruction in First Aid
to Motorists" The plan is undoubted-
ly timely and not without merit.
The only objection to it is that it is
too one-sided and partial In its scope.
1t is all very good to teach motor
lists how to bandage and dress their
wrists broken by "kick-backs" In
"cranking up" or burned by flaming
gasoline, ETC., but where do the
countless victims of the motorists
recklessness come in? Accidents 20
motorists are comparatively few COM
pared with the number of accidents
to persons who are knocked down or
run over by recklessly driven auto
mobiles. 1t seems that the motor
lists are favored at the expense of the
suffering public. There is more need
for First Aid" Co auto victims tnan
to motorists and 1t would be good
plan for the w. s. Y. M. G. A. to
extend the scope of its school.

Battery Dan" Finn, the famous
magistrate, who has been hanging
out for many years in the lower
Greenwich street district, which he
rules like little Gear, is under in
vestigation. Like the Overwhelming
majority of his constituents and fol-
lowers he has an insurmountable
aversion to everything that looks
like police uniform and ever since
Battery Dan" has been on the bench
the policemen in his district had a
tough time of 1t. They found IL
almost impossible to secure convic-
tion of their prisoners and particular
brought liquormen, arrested for vio-
lations of the excise laws, before him.
In such cases the policemen usually
became the defendants and were
scored most numerically by the mag
istrate, while the prisoners were ac-
quilted. The moral effect of this
may be imagined. Finally Commis-
sioner Clement of the state excise
board lost his patience and began
proceedings in the supreme court for
the removal of Finn from office.
Strong influence is being brought 10
bear in the case to prevent the re-
moval of the magistrate, who has
strong political pull.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications. as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an inflamed condition of
the mucous lining of che Eustachtan

you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when 1t Is en-

and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out this tube restored to its

New York, Feb. 19.-To celebrate
the settling by a compromise of the

In New York during the last few

which all the shirtwaist manufactur-

shirtwaist makers union and of the
Woman's Trade Union League were
invited The representatives of the
strikers were all Chere, but of the
manufacturers only half dozen put

gan was also present. During the
love feast, which was really quite
touching, several club women, suf-
frage advocates and preachers drop
ped in and addressed the gathering.
The representatives of the union were
profuse In their thanks to Mrs. Bel
mont and other society women VINO
had interested themselves in their be-
half and appealed to these ladies to
pledge themselves for year not to
buy any shirtwaists that did not bear
the union label. They gave emphat-
tc assurance that these waists would
cost not a cent more than other
waists, which were not made by un-
ion labor. Mrs. Belmont unhesitat-
ingly gave the desired promise and
Miss Anne Morgan followed her ex-
ample, adding the reservation, how
ever, that her promise would be
binding only as to shirtwaists which
che should purchase in this country.

TAKING GOOD
CARE Of
Attack on Gaynor Results in
Redoubling Precautions
for President.
(By United Press Leased Wire)

BEN ERL1, Mass. Aug IL
Since the attack on Mayor Gaynor
of New York, secret service men
have surrounded President Taft
constantly. Vigilance has been re-
doubled and the president is not
out of sight of one or more of his
guards at any time.
When the president motors one
guard stands on the step of his car
and two others follow in another
automobile They have orders to
shoot first. and ask questions later.
One operative always accompanies
the president on the golf links.
The renewed precautions of the
secret Service men are in line with
the theory that the attack on Gay
nor may arouse the slumbering in
sanity of some crank and awake a
desire to duplicate the outrage.
The notoriety attending an at
tempted assassination is regarded
as one of the features appealing
TO the minded, and sugges
tion contained in repeated discus
sions of the crime is added rea
son. the secret service men con
slider. necessitating additional care
in fuarding the president.

KINGS SALARY OF
S3,170,000 WOULD
SUPPORT WHOLE
AMERICAN CITY

A cable from England brings the
information that British parlia-
ment committee decided that
George V needs 5000 a year
more for the maintenance of the
royal family of $3,170,000.
The average American laborer
earns 81 day or $12 week.
With this he supports his family
and taking the United States cen
sus figures-of five members.
A little sum in arithmetic shows
that $3,170,00O divided by 1924
brings a result of $3.50, indicating
that the work of $3.50 laborers pro
duces the salary of one king.
The multiple of five shows %
400 wives and boys and girls in
the families of the $3.50 laborers
again indicating that the salary OF
the king of England for one year
would support for the same length
of time a city of laborers with a
total population OF $4,000.
In other words, the average sal
airy of the American wage Garner
including all kinds of work is SIS
a week. Computing it upon thai
| basis, King Georges salary woult
| support 1886 men. or an average
American town with a population

Thomas Byrnes, one of the most
famous detectives of New York, is
the provision that every debt of the
deceased, from the largest to the

widow. The estate is estimated at
more than a million.
