SHEEPSKIN FOR WIDOW
Forced to Earn a Livelihood PIucIxy
Woman Turns to Teaching.

Chicago, Jan. 22.-When the mid
year graduating exercises of the Wal
Ter high school are held at the Art
Institute next Friday afternoon there
will be among the happy boys and
girls who receive the much coveted
sheepskins little woman in widows
weeds.
The occasion will mark for her the
completion of three and a half years
of untold privation and struggle that
she and her three little children may
live in comfort
She is Mrs. Hannah Jacober. Five
years ago she came from Germany
and soon her husband died. Then she
decided to become a school teacher
and the struggle to care for herself
and little ones began. Last night the
school dramatic club gave an enter
tainment and the hall was crowded
Some time today the entire proceeds
will be presented to Mrs. Jacober, and
she will be able to graduate, If she so
desires, in as pretty costume as any
of the others.
Mrs. Jacober has already taken
some of her examinations for entrance
to the Chicago Normal school, and she
has passed Them all. 1t is considered
probable that her one ambition will be
gratified before long.

BOYS THE SUFFERERS

Manhattan, Kan, jan 22.-One of
the greatest menaces to our moral and
intellectual well being today is the
fact that cigarette smoking is becom-
ing a popular fad among boys and
young men, while the use of a strong
pipe is a close second in favor, says
William A. McKeever. professor of
philosophy in the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college in a paper. Go where
you will in this broad land of ours. he
continues, and the pale faces, blear
eyes, trembling fingers and the foul
stencil of cigarette fumes tell the same
pathetic story
This most serious blight upon the
bloom and beauty of our American
boyhood is chargeable to paternal
ignorance and carelessness. For the
last eight years have been tracing out
the cigarette boys biography, and 1
have found that in practically all
cases the la1 began his smoking habit
with little or no thought of its serious
ness while the fond parents perhaps
believed that their boy was too good
to engage in such a practice.
Attack Not a General One.
1t is not the purpose to make an at
tack upon smoking in general. A ma
jOrity of the best and ableSt men or
the country are smokers, and they I'M
questionably get a good deal of salts
faction out of their cigars and pipes.
After a man has fully acquired the
habit, smoking tends to drive away
depression and to make him better
satisfied with his lot and a more
agreeable companion of men and wom-
en-. BY this 1 do not mean that the
smoker has these advantages over the
nonsmoker, but rather that the former,
through the reindulgence of his habit,
gets these results over and above what
he has when he goes without his
usual cigar.
Out of one hundred such men whom
l interviewed ninety-nine frankly adj
mitted that smoking tends to injure
the health and that they would not
advise any young man to begin the
habit. Smoking is a practice entirely
unnecessary to the development and
refinement Il the race, and it will in
time doubtless go the way of the liquor
drinking habit.
Cigarette Smoking. a Curse.
But the serious nature of this cigar

PUBLIC NOT ADMITTED.
Chumos Hearing in Probate Court Will
Be Private.

The general public will not be ad-
mitted to the juvenile court trial Of
Constantine G. Chumos, the wealthy
Greek confectioner, charged with de-
linquency toward his wife and three
small children, and sued for divorce
by her.
This decision was announced today
by Judge w. F. Schoch after he had
received a score of telephone messages
asking what time the trial would be.
The judge believe there is a great deal
of feeling and curiosity over the affair
and in answer to the question said it
was not the Greek people who were
phoning him but others.
'1 was afraid the court room would
be crowded. said the Judge, "but I
have just found in the juvenile law a
statute which empowers me to exclude
the public in juvenile cases. will
therefore permit only the parties in
volved, the reporters, and immediate
friends of the family to be present.
The trial was continued from this
morning until Tuesday at Up. m. From
the judges decision the trial is des-
tined to be something like a quiet
home wedding.
A mistake was made last night in
the location of Chumos' store. It
should have been 804 Kansas avenue
instead of sos.

TO GET QUICK ACTION.
Supreme Court Asked to Advance
Corporation Tax Case.

Washington, Jan. 22-In anticipa-
ton of the intention to ask the SUI
preme court of the United States Mon
day to advance for an early hearing
the Vermont case involving the ques-
ton and constitutionality of the cor
poration tax provision of the Payne
tariff act, Maxwell Evarts of New
York today filed with the clerk of the
court a motion to advance together
with reasons for asking for this pro-
cedure.
Mr.. Evarts appears as of counsel for
Stella P Flint, who instituted pro-
ceedings in the federal circuit court in
Vermont as general guardian of the
property of Samuel N. Stone, jr., a
minor, against the Stone-Tracey COM
pany, a general retail mercantile cor
poration of Windsor, VT. Part of the
property of the minor consists of
shares in this corporation. 1t was
sought to enjoin the corporation from
making return of it's net income, as
required by the corporation tax pro-
vision and from paying the tax if
levied. The Vermont court ordered
the bill dismissed.

Evarts, "affects a great majority of
the corporations in the United States. =

TOCONSERvE WOOD PULP
Canada May Prohibit Expectation to
United States.

Ottawa. Ont, Jan. 22.-The first Ca
madam conservation conference, which
ended in Ottawa yesterday, has devel-
oped a sentiment in favor of the pro-
hibition of all pulp wood export, which
may have a serious effect on the stu
alton now existing between this coun-
try and the United States.
The conference took no formal action
on the subject, but a canvass of the
delegates revealed a fairly unanimous
opinion that all the Canadian wood
pulp should be manufactured on this
side of the line.
