The Homicide Wave"

There were 1915 murders com
mitted in the United States last year
and capital punishment was inflicted
in only one out of every So of these
cases. The figures are appalling
both in the extent of OF the homi-
cides and the minimum of executions
1t is no wonder that lynchings oc-
cur with such painful regularity
and unless some remedy is found TO
check the spread of the homicide
wave, 1t is likely that lynch law
will become even more popular
In some communities, murder is
not regarded as serious offense. As
the result, many murderers escape
with small sentences and in some
instances they are freed.
1t is up to the taxpayer to find
the remedy. The taxpayer is the
man who serves on the juries and It

they write, because giving sanction
to crime is almost as bad as the com

War Between the Sexes,

Is life nothing more than a battle
between the sexes?
Such a theory would seem terrible
enough in view } the manner in
which small St Louismanufacturer
found way of silencing his scold-
ing wife when she berated him SO
loudly that the neighborg came in to
witness the remaining rounds OF the
battle
This man listened to the loud
scoldirg as long as he could. and
then he turned on tho machinery In
his shop which was also his home.
When the wheels whirred and the
motor sung and general Changing
sound penetrated every corner Of the
building, the wife held her peace.
This is the reycrst side of a shield
which has become familiar to many
. critic of life. Men there have been
and many of them, who have tried to
demonstrate with Their wives for ex-
travaG2nce, or disinterestedness, or
for tic habit of Gadding about too
much or Tor letting the roast burn,
only to be silenced when his spouse
took her place at the piano and be-
gan playing the first thing nat came
to hand, suiting the pedals and the
tempo of the vocal abilities of her
lord and master.
The turning on OF the machinery
Is the proper answer to the letting
loose OF the piano, The sexes arc

DR.. Franz Bergman. the noted
Berlin physician, is worried about
we Americans, A few days ago, he
warned the women that unless they
ceased wearing shoes too small for
them, they eventually would lose
their little toes His next warning
was that ragtime music will even
tually drive us crazy, and now, to
cap the climax, he tells us that the
rapid transit elevators in the "sky-
scrapers" are shortening our lives
10 to 20 years. After carefully con-
sidering the Doctors warning, we are
inclined to believe that the best
thing he can do is to return at once
to Berlin, before he becomes victim
of small shoes, ragtime music or
rapid transit elevators.

Water Power Bills Defeat


The decisive defeat yesterday by
the lower house of the Illinois legi-
stature of the Deneen-Johnson water
power conservation measure marks
the final splash in the deep water
awy fight in the Forty-seventh Hi
nois General Assembly.
Even the proponents of the water
power and waterway measures re-
alize now the futility of prolonging
the fight in this legislature. and they
will act with wisdom if they accept
the decisive defeat of the measure as
final with this general assembly.

CHANGES IN FUR FASHIONS
Revolution Is Certainty as Soon as u
Can BE Brought About
by Furriers.

That there will be q revolution In
fur fashions as soon as the manufac-
turers can bring 1t about is one Of the
things that may be ioretold with safe
ty. Apparently 1t is all In the interest
OF those who dress and sell peltry
that the present wide. loose coats
should be worn-but Is 1t so certain
that this Is the case? The first cost.
and consequently the profits upon
such coats, must naturally be greater.
but as set-off against this may We
not ask how many. or rather how few,
people can buy them at all? Then
thee Is the further objection from the
furrier's point of view that the pres
ent roomy garments do not rub or
wear quickly. but can be made down
through so many stages that in the
end they are far more profitable to
the buyer than to the vender,
With the advent of the bolero the
furriers will see their opportunity. and
II Will not be their fault II we do not
speedily have return to the close
fitting short coat or Ire little Eton. 1t
Is easy to tempt buyer to such
purchase; the cost is even compare
lively little. not so much more than
that Of any other warm smart coat.
and and II is hardly worth while to be
economical when the difference stands
for the possession of real fur. What
is forgotten is that the tight-ftting
seal or astraghan coatee gives little
satisfaction In the wearing; 1t soon
rubs under the arm and shows raw
edges. Once II is shabby new coat
is pretty certain to be bought, tor
having once worn fur a woman feels
not only shabby but cctd until the Old
garment has been replaced by smart
Few replica. Hence It Is quite con-
ceivable that the smaller, cheaper
garment may be more to the profit Of
the furrier than the yoluminous and
expensive one.
