LOOKS LIKE A BIG NIGHT
New York Celebration Will Be Noisier
and CostIier Than Ever.

New York, Dec. 31.-All signs indi-
cate that New York city's New Years
celebration tonight will surpass all
previous efforts. It wifi be costlier,
noisier and more generally observed
than ever before
Several hundred thousand persons
will serve on the reception committee,
which will welcome 1911 at midnight
and the hotels and restaurant men
figure that Mr.. and Mrs. New York
will incidentally put more thar mil
lion dollars into circulation. The
major portion of this sum will go for
wet goods, mostly champagne, al
though the fact that New Year is ar
irving on Saturday night means that
the sale of liquid cheer will cease
promptly at II o'clock. Mayor Gay
nor several days ago refused to coun-
tenance any suspension of the usual
Saturday night rule, but it will be pos
sible for celebrators to purchase suffi-
cient before midnight to last until any
desired hour.
Every chair in every important pub
lie dining room in the city will be fill
ed for the evening. many of the seats
in the more popular restaurants hav-
ing been reserved as far back as last
August.
The police will be out in force to
see that the celebration is kept within
bounds. ''Ticklers,'' confetti and
rowdyism are barred by official edict
but there will be no attempt to put the
soft pedal on noise.

NO BABIES IN 2O15.
United States Must Then Import
Them From France.

st. Louis, Dec. 31.-There will be no
children in the United States under 5
years of age in the year 1920. Babies
accordingly, will have disappeared from
this country as early as 2015.
This is the mathematical conclusion of
Professor Walter F. Wilcox, of Cor
nell university, announced to the Amer
lean Statistical association at its con-
Guiding session. The only hope of see
ing babies in the United States after
2020, according to Professor Wilcox s
calculation, is in possible importation
from France. France, he says, will con-
tinue to have babies so years after the
United States has quit.
There is proportionately more race
suicide in the United States than in
France said Professor WILCOX.
An endowment for the stork was rec
commended to the American Sociology
cal association by George Eliot Howard,
professor of sociology in the University
of Nebraska. In an address on 1.-THE
social control of domestic relations" he
declared the state should honor moth
erhood by endowing mothers.
Parents who raise families" he said
'are entitled to payment and security
from the state the same as the soldier
or the judge or any other public SER
want The woman who gives a child te
| the state should be allowed an income
| by the state for taking care of thai
child That would make the mother
the ruler in the home That would be
social justice"

STUBS CANCELS HUNT.
Defers Cherished Holiday Plan to
Stalk Woods for Raccoon.

Lawrence, Kan, Dec. Slower
nor Stubbs finds that being executive
of great state like Kansas is an in
fringment of the constitution. 1t re-
stricts his personal liberties. The au-
burn-haired Quaker had planned a
coon and possum hunt Thursday night
of this week as the piece de resist
ence" of his holiday vacation. In
stead of being able to carry out his
cherished plan the governor had to go
down to Kansas City to prevent the
further pollution of the Missouri river.
He inaugurated q stubborn war on
the deadly sewerage germs, but he
was compelled to abandon his slaugh-
ter of Kaw CONSPICUOUS that is,
not Philippians.
Shortly before Christmas Governor
Stubs promised his two boys, Roscoe
and Paul, Is and 10 years of age, that
when he came home for the holidays
he would take them on a real old fash
toned coon hunt. The kind he used
to attend when the farms along the
Kaw were less dense1y populated. IT,!
boys had anticipated the event with
an expectancy ec1ipsing that of the ar
rival of Santa Claus. When Cover
nor Stubs found that he would have
to postpone the hunt his disappoint-
ment was even more keen than that
of his sons.
The hunt was to occur Thursday
night and besides the Stubs boys.
several others in the neighborhood
were to be allowed to join the party
under the governors chaperonage.
Hounds and lanterns were the only
implement of capture to be permitted
on the hunt. It was to be strictly
an old-fashioned affair, two reporters,
who begged hard, being the only mod
ern superf1uity to be tolerated.
When Governor Stubbs found he
would be unable to attend the hunt,
he carefully instructed his young sons
into the mysteries of freeing. coons,
even going out in the back yard and
shining up a small maple to show
the best manner of protecting the
climbers face from the claws of the
freed animal. The boys sailed forth
and returned last night with two live
possums, which they had trapped in
a decayed cottonwood near Cameron s
bluff.
The governor promises that next
year the hunt will be held in spite
of affairs of the state.

OFFER MONEY FOR GAS.
Farmers Want Wells Sunk ON Their
Farms Near Ellsworth.

Ellsworth, Kan, Dec. 31.-The pres
sure at the Ellsworth gas well now is
increasing. At the first test it was
throwing out 10000 cubic feet but
now has increased to $4,000 cubic
feet and is steadily increasing.
The gas we'll is being preserved and
will not be shot until everything need
ed is on the grounds. A special pack
age of packing, to be used for the
bottom of the we'll has been ordered
by express. About 210 pounds of
nitroge1atine will be used for shooting
the well.
The we'll was put down simply as a
test and no attempt was made to con-
troll it. But now it is assumed the
gas well will be of practical use.
]. ]. Dolepek, a wealthy farmer, liv-
ing two miles west of Ellsworth, has
made a proposition to the men who
sunk the original we'll. He offers them
$1,000 to sink well at his place.
Arthur Larkin, another wealthy
farmer, has made a somewhat similar
proposition to have a we'll sunk on his
farm directly west of the present we'll.
Meanwhile the Ellsworth Salt COM
pany is completing the arrangements
or sinking three wells at it's place.
This company now uses $50 worth of
noal daily and natural gas would be a
great saving.

SECURING YOUR SCALP.
VIII Remove the Loose Dandruffs Scale
But Won't Cure Dandruff.

If your hair is brittle and thinning,
you have dandruff. The mere securing
of the scalp of the loose scales, won't
cure dandruff: because dandruff is
nothing but scales of scalp being
thrown up by pestiferous little
germ in burrowing its way to the root
of the hair where it saps the vitality,
causing falling hair and, in time,
badness. Now you can't stop dandruff
nor falling hair. nor prevent bald
ness unless you destroy that germ; and
the only preparation that can do it is
the new scientific discovery, Newbro's
Herpicide. In fact no other hair
preparation claims to kill the dan
druff germ-all of them will clean the
scalp; soap and water will do that,
but only Newbro's Herricide gets at
the root of the trouble and kills the
dandruff germ. Sold bv leading drug
.gists. Send 10c in stamps for sample
to the Herpicide Co., Detroit, Mich.
One dollar bottles guaranteed.

methods are instructive, for he not

music from a cigar store Indian. If
the song drags he starts in little
ahead with his big voice, and pulls and

Manhattan with gas manufactured in
an outlying suburb of Brooklyn.
The six men were at work in the
tunnel when the explosion occurred.
They had set off a number of dyna-
mite blasts during the night, but sew
