BABIES POOR INVESTMENTS.

Sacramento. Cal, Dec. l4-The COM
mereial value of babies is made the topic
of an article IN the bulletin of the state
board of health, issued Monday. The
article contains an estimate, which shows
that the average cost Of the upbringing
of child from birth to twenty years
of age is 81 $50, and its average CONNER
cial value at the end Of that time is
$4,000. These figures are based on the
net earning capacity ef the average citi-
zen for all the gainful occupations in
California, as reported in the state labor
commissioner report from 1908 to 1902
capitalized at 9 per cent. interest.
AS an investment, il is estimated that
BY the age OF thirty the average man
is worth $4,000 81 600 value plus $4,000
gross earnings and has cost Sl0,l50 for
growth and maintenance, or net gain
OF $3.50 in thirty years.

STATION WITHOUT STAIRS.
Inclined Ways viii Take Their Place

New York, Dec. A. When the new

for traffic a passenger can get off a train
at the lowest level and reach the street

car. Then they would walk back again
as If they were hurrying to make their
train Then women We're called upon

1t was found that a rise of $ feet in

carrying heavy hand baggage, and this
grade was fixed upon as the maximum.
The result is a station without stair

Meaning Of Trade Conspiracy
Decision
THE PLOT IS NOT ENDED
Until Successful or Abandoned - Only
Then Does Limitation Act Apply.
This the Opinion Rendered by
Justice Holmes.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE announce
ment of the broad rule that a conspiracy
under the Sherman antitrust law may
be a Continuing offense" instead Of an
offence limited to the formation Of the
conspiracy, by the supreme court of the
United States Monday went a long way
toward dispelling doubt as to the law.
The direct result Of the decision that
Gustave T. Kissel Of New York and
Thomas b. Harmed OF Philadelphia must
answer further to the Indictment brought
in 1909 in New York, charging them
with conspiracy with the American
Sugar Refining company and others, to
drive the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining
company out OF business, will mean fur
Their that the government will find IT
easier to prosecute conspiracies under
the Sherman antitrust law Instead OF
being required to show in an Indictment
a conspiracy or an overt act in further
anee there of within three years Of the
time of the indictment, it is said that
the accused viii be required to show
that the conspiracy had been ended by
abandonment or success more than three
years before the indictment.
Justice Holmes, in announcing the
opinion OF the court. took up for a
minute consideration Of the argument
that conspiracy is complete crime
as soon as formed, as would be the case
where conspiracy is merely con
tract.
TT is true said Justice Holmes, that
the unlawful agreement satisfied the
definition Of the crime, but it does not
exhaust it, 1t also is true, OF course,
that the mere continuance Of the result
OF a crime does not continue the otfense.
But when the plot contemplates bring
ing to pass continuous cooperation
of the conspirators TO keep it up and
there is such continuous cooperation, 1t
is peryersion of natural though and
Of natural language to call such con-
tinuous cooperation cinematographie
series Of distinct conspiracies, rather
than to call it single one. Holding
that conspiracy in restraint of trade
Is different from and more than a CON
tract in restraint of trade, Justice
Holmes summed up the decision IN this
manner:
"'The Indictment charges d continuing
conspiracy. Whether it does so with
technical sutIiciency is not before us.
All that we decide is that a conspiracy
may have continuance in time, and that
where, as here, the Indictment, consist
entity with the other facts, alleged that
it did so continue to the date Of filing,
that allegation must be denied under
the general issue and not by Il special
plea Under the general issue all de-
fences, including the defence that the
conspiracy was ended by success, aban-
donment or otherwise more than three
years before July ], 1909, will be open
and unaffected by what we now decide.

NINETY GIRLS WERE IN DANGER
Fire in Chicago Building Imperiled the
Young Women.

Chicago, Dec. l4.--Fifty young women
attired in gymnasium costumes, were
rescued from the roof Of a burning
building yesterday at 3ll-8lS Wabash
avenue
They were engaged in drill in the
school OF physical education and ex-
preston.
The girls feared to descend to the
street, when smoke began pouring into
the gymnasium, and the instructors, Civ
ing the young women no time to don
other clothing, marshaled them on the
roof of the school.
From this place, which was shut off
from view by volumes Of black smoke,

fremen.
None Of the girls were injured
The damage was estimated at 100000,
chiefly to the building, to the Derby
Desk company and to the o. w. Richard
son Carpet and Rug company. Crossed
electric wires are believed to have been
the cause.
Beside the physical culturists rescued
40 girl employees in the offices and rug

In Woman's Realm.
Business Girls, Home Work.

Can anybody give really good reason
why girl who works outside should
do any homework at home2
No one expects her brother to do it.
He comes in from the office and spends
his evenings as he pleases Dinner is
ready for him, and when it is over he
goes upstairs or out, and no ane dreams
OF suggesting dishes. In the morning he
eats his breakfast and goes to work, and
no one breathes word about putting
his bedroom in order. When his clothes
are torn they are mended, and no ons
would think OF asking him to spend his
own evening in the work.
Far otherwise is it with his sister,
who perhaps works at the same office as
he does, and at work quite as hard. She
hurries home to help mother prepare
dinner. After it is over she clears the
table and washes the dishes AS likely
as not she has mending to do later, And
before she can leave the house in the
morning there is one bed to make, at
least, and her room to put in order, and
"a thousand errands given her to be at
tended to at lunch time.
Now, why should this be2 asks a writ
er in the New York Free Press. Why
should man be expected to live only
one life and a woman two at least?
II is not surely, because the woman is
stronger than the man, for the reverse is
true. II is not because her work IN
either case is easier for it is not--any
business woman or any housewife will
tell YOU that 1t is-and here is the reai
reason because human beings are con
sentative.
Because women once We're housewives,
they must always be housewives, says
conservatism; and no matter what else
they are besides, housewives they must
remain. When you bring that down to
its ultimate conclusion, how absurd II

Popular Fashing in Hat.

Popular street hats are the unstifr-
ened little shapes in Austrian velours, the
soft, close, thick pile yelours which is
one OF the successes Of the season, These
velours are made up in many shapes, and
the mere hat shapes are expensive but
fortunately little trimming is considered
necessary. As in the velvet hats of
the spring the line Is the thing and
only some curious ornament of dull gold
or silver or some smart little fancy
feather of q stiff sort is used for trim
ming,
Particularly well liked by the younger
contingent are the small soft yelours
shapes with high round crowns and mar
row brims which can be rolled up and
down according to fancy. These are
made in black and many attractive col.
orings and allow for individuality OF
pose and angle that must be pulled well
down on the head and very simply
trimmed with a quill, fancy feather,
cockade or something of such character
posed on the left side. Black and white
effects are good in these shapes, as in all
the small hats
Soft, long nap beaver is very smart
for the street hat, and many small
shapes in velvet are worn, though velvet
does not seem quite so appropriate with
the severely tailored trotting suit as
does the beaver or velour.
Fur hats and fur.trimmed hats are
| figuring largely in the millinery shops,
and f,ms OF all kinds are appearing.
One caprice Of fashion puts the inn
portant trimming of the hat under the
brim, instead of over il, and ruttles OF
exquisite real lace, facings Of cloth OF
gold or brocade are seen on plain velvet
shapes unadorned save for one large bow
or possibly one perfect flower The huge
bow trimming is seen everywhere.
White aigrettes or white feathers on
the black or dark blue velvet hats are
always striking in effect, and as ruiz
becoming At the moment fashion de-
mands that there shall be lot of white
used, but individual taste will only ae-
cede in so far as may be becoming, and
too much white in the trimming of a
hat never seems quite so smart as when
there is only small quantity. A black
velvet hat, all black, exquisitely simple
in design, is most popular, and this has
but one touch OF white in a stiff, thick
short aigrette placed quite far toward
the back and at the left side. Il is
thrust through the band of velvet that
encircles the crown and is the only trim
ming.
Theatre hats, or hats designed for the
dinner or supper at fashionable restau-
rants are exaggeratedly large, but there
are also most fascinating small toques
and turbans, extremely becoming to both
the younger and older women, designed
to be worn with elaborate theatre and
restaurant gowns. The draped turban
of tulle was one of the fayorite styles
of last spring and is again included with
the winter fashions, only with such vari-
ations as make it seem quite new. The
