TN CERTAIN parts of the city where
1 society is familiar with the foreign
habits of the diplomatic set and where
cigarette smoking is so common among
women that it is no longer matter
OF much comment, there Is strong
feeling that the anti-cigarette agita-
tors have been unfair in directing
their criticism at one or two individ-
ual women smokers.
The practice, it was pointed out, was
not confined to any special few,
but was quite general among fashion
able women. AS regular feature of
practically every ultra-fashionable
dinner party here cigarettes are equal
ly provided for the women The old
custom of the women leaving the men
at the table to smoke has almost en-
tirely disappeared.

THE habit Of cigarette smoking
among women is, to my mind, thor

point" said Canon Mays of ST. Thomas
Episcopal church.
Father Eugene Harmon OF the
Church of the Immaculate Concep-
ton, was unusually severe in his
criticism of the cigarette habit among
women. He said: The habit is OBJ
noxious all around and in women, de-
spite the fact that the law from
gospel standpoint is the same for both
sexes, cigarette smoking is worse with
women than with men because of the
example they set. Society demands
different ethical code for women for its
own protection" -

w SHINGTON.-After series of
w tests continuing since February
the Postoffice Department has ar
ranged for formal six months try
out of an invention for delivering and
picking up mails by fast trains. AS a
demonstration of the practicability of
the system a live pig, weighing 65
pounds, was recently delivered with
out injury at Carrollton, KY, the home
OF the inventor, without the slightest
injury from train running 25 miles
an hour.
For years the Postoffice Department
has sought an improved method of
picking up and delivering mails over
the old catcher-hook system, and the
new device was the result of four
years advertising by the postal au-
thorities, urging inventors to produce
something that would meet the re-
quirements.
1t is 40 years since the catcher hook
came into use, and in spite of the
progress In railroading and the tre-

The delivery of mail from moving

numbers of persons have been injured
and some killed by being struck by

In a number of instances the bags

or have been ground to pieces and the
mail destroyed. And these defects do
not take into consideration the tremen-

and pouches, one of the largest items
Of expense to the railway mail service.
The new device has passed through
a successful test of six months at
Burnside station, and this decided the
government to give the more extended

Women who own valuable jewelry

and all the departments at the capital.
OF this sum 1888 on the average falls
on each inhabitant Set this over
against 1851, the average cost per
capita of local rule in the cities, and
$24.71 in New York city. The con-
trast will show that the national ma.
chinery costs less than that at home,
under the very eyes Of the citizens.
The public schools are maintained
in the cities at a cost Of 1910 per
capita, while 1925 is paid for the po-
lice and SLIP for the fire department
Thus schools and the police in cities
cost $685. a year per capita, or only
38 cents per capita less than the total
ordinary disbursements Of the national
government.
The taxpayers are proud Of the pub

moneys spent for them The police

that the tea gown came into strenuous
