SYSTEM IN PARK BUILDING

Developed System of Public
Parks.

If a city is to have parks, careful
study of the problem will convince
any student of municipal development
that the parks should be acquired in
accordance with a general system
Many cities have one or more parks
in which their citizens may Justly
take pride, but comparatively few Of
these cities have what can properly
De called a comprehensive, well-bai
anced and well-developed system Of
parks, a system which will compare
tavorably as to completeness with. for
Instance, the system Of public schools,
or the system of fire protection and
other principal departments Of the
city government. The backwardness
Of municipal park systems is not SO
much due to lack of public intelt
gence and public spirit, as to de
fective development of the love Of
beauty, as compared with a well
developed appreciation Of practical
utilftarian progress. 1t not infrequent
ly happens that the sections Of city
In which the population is most dense
and most in need of squares, play
grounds and local parks, are almost
wholly devoid of these advantages be
cause no welI-balanced system has
been devised and carried out while
land was sufficiently cheap and com
paratively unoccupied so that new
the expense is prohibitory.

 The upper part of all dressy cos tunes is very transparent, revealing the arms and the shoulders to the bust. AS a rule these are deliberately trimmed, jeweled trimmings, spangles, gold and silver laces, metal embroid- cries and heavy jet ornaments being employed.
 The furs that can be worn every day, not only with warmth, but with sartorial propriety, are pony skin, moleskin, opossum, sealskin, dyed ot- ter and dyed muskrat. These may all be bordered with skunk Or black fox. The latter is also a fur that one can wear in the mornings, and lynx is another.
 One rarely sees the old-fashioned modestly cut round or square neck in the really up-to-date evening gowns.

JURYMEN CONDEMN THE
 FROZEN EGG PRODUCT
They Find It Was Not .
 Proper Article of Food
(Hartford Courant !,

The jury in the District court of the United States, before whom the case of the United States against 5000 pounds of frozen eggs was tried, did not take the view advanred by Dr. Ernest Ellsworth Smith, but rath- CT took that of the governments ex- perts, because yesterday it decided that the egg product in question was not proper article of food and the product cannot be so used.
 The verdict carries with it an order of confiscation, but that does not into sewer. The action against the product was brought under the pure food and drug law, which became ef- fective on June 30, 1906, and there is in the act what might be called sav- ing clause. This provides that the person whose property is condemned under the act can take it by paying the costs of the confiscation proceed ing and giving a bond to guarantee , that the condemned product will not be used for food. MT. Smithson of Chicago, who shipped the product in- to this state, is to take it by paying the court costs of $78.14 and giving bond of s4OO to the government as a guarantee that the product will not be used for food. Tn connection with his egg-canning factory in Chicago, he has department in which unwhole- some eggs are made into tanning yolk or tanning oil, which is used on fine feathers, especially women's gloves, and instead of being used for food as was intended, the product here will be manufactured into the leather dressing.
 The eggs when seized in this city last August were in cans, the contents having been separated from the shell, some cans containing only whites, others containing yolks and others contained the whole contents of the shell. The product was seized as be- ing unfit for food, and MT. Smithson defended the product, claiming that it was pure, wholesome food. The case was the first one fought out in this section since the federal food and drug law became operative, and the interesting thing in connection with the trial was the way the experts dis. agreed. Dr. George E. Stiles. Jr., governments expert from Washing ton, and Dr. Arthur J. Wolff of this city, condemned it because of the amount of bacteria and gas-producing organism the product contained. while Dr. Smith, who appeared in defense of the product, claimed that the only way to determine whether an egg was edible was to find the amount of acid ity in the egg product before the Jury.

(, Q, P. LEADERS IN SENATE BANK ON
 NEW MEXICO
fsnecial from United Press. )

Washington, Jan. 14-Republican Senate leaders, today, are trading up on the prospect of New Mexico, with a reactionary constitution, winning, and Arizona, New Mexico is RepubH- can and Arizona Democratic, they pre- dict the prospective Republican ma iority of eight in the Senate will be changed to 10 before next December.
 New Mexico will have it's constitu- tion in the hands of President Taft for approval by the middle of Febru- ary. Arizona cannot get the result of the vote on it's constitution to Washington before Congress adjourns ton of New Mexico by the President in the latter part of February and the failure on the part of Congress to dis approve of the document will enable the people of the territory to organize as State, and send two Senators and two Representatives to Congress next winter. Many New Mexicans are op- timistic enough to predict that their star will go into the flag on July 4, 1911.
 New Mexico constructed expediti- ously a constitution with none of the progressive ideas which have been adopted by many states. There is no hint of such things as nominations by popular vote, the recall, the initia- tive or the referendum.
 Opposition may be based. however, on other features of the constitution, particularly sections providing for the payment of certain bonds of ancient lineage and doubtful origin. The New Mexico constitution will be submit ted to popular vote on January 23.
 Leaders in Congress and some of the White House authorities believe the Arizona constitution will not re-

THIRTEEN CLUB
 GIVES ITS DEBT
 TO SUPERSTITION

Hurling the gauntlet in the teeth of superstition, the members Of the Thirteen Club last night !ndulged in every unlucky practice that is SUD- posed to lead one to an early grave. So far as can be learned this morn ing, all of the members are cheerful and happy and avengeful Fate has not vet descended upon any of them.
 The fact that yesterday was the rare combination of Friday the Thlr- teenth added unusual zest to the meeting. Mirrors were furnished for the members to smash, umbrellas opened, ladders were placed at con- yenient intervals to be walked under, salt was spilled, and the number 13 was used in a hundred different com binations.
 Last nights meeting was the 18th anniversary of the club. Grand Chief Ruler Thad Beecher was presented with a cane and all the members drank his health out of a handsome tin loving cup. Chief Beecher remark ed that as he is the only member of the club entitled to vote, it is consid- cred probable that he will be re-elect- ed to the high office he now holds. Among the guests of the evening was Mayor E. T. Buckingham, who made witty address.

The Massachusetts commission on Workman's compensation. which re- gently placed bill before the public for discussion. has found so much opposition to the provisions of the measure. from both employers and employees, that it will ask for more time for consideration. Employers object to the measure for the reason that it would. in their opinion. place them at a disadvantage in competition with the manufacturers of other States. Whether or not. the cost to them of a graduated scale, of compen- sation for injuries. would be greater than the cost of litigation under an employers liability law. with it's chances of high awards by juries, is a question which might we'll be taken into consideration. Uniformity in State laws for workmen's compensa- tion. which would place competition upon an even standing. can hardly be expected. however desirable it may be. Most States have now, or. will have soon. employers liability bifls with the "contributory negligence" and. fellow
 
 such laws. amounts of compensation for injuries will depend upon jury awards. and uniformity in such awards between the juries of the sev- eral States cannot be expected, or decreed by law. We do not see how the possibility of advantage in compe- tion can be avoided. under either of the proposed methods of dealing with this matter Surely. is it not better to know with some precision the com pensatory cost of injuries than to leave it subject to the judgment of juries? And better for both employer and employee to settle such cost under known graduated scale, whereby both avoid the cost of litigation and the uncertainties and delays of the courts?

THOSE TWO RIVAL LEADERS

Judson as Republican leader in the Senate. and Banks fulfilling the ike position in the House-it is rather peculiar situation. and not very promising one for either the rapid rnent of right measures Is either ot them of such calibre as to allow the other credit for good work?
 IL Is intimated that Banks would not accept the House chairmanship of the Judiciary committee. until assured. in substance. that he. and not Judson. should be in control of all measures coming under that committees juris- dic.ion We do not know that this intinetion was we'll founded. but it is a fact that Banks hesitated over accepting the position and that his consent was tardy.
 It Is unnecessary to reiterate the facts of the 18th Senatorial district contest between Judson and Banks. in which the latter was defeated and each set afloat charges of improper 2 practices in behalf of the other. Ru- nor gives these facts as the cause of ' Banks alleged refusal to accept the House Judiciary chairmanship until Judson's hands were tied. We are inclined to believe that other and as vet unknown reasons are behind the rratter-time alone will tell.
 It is a situation to be regretted. If any measure or amendment bearing the name of one. is to be antagonized, regardless of the merits. by the other. it means at least the delay of busi- ness and. perhaps. the failure of proper and necessary business.
 The people take no especial interest in any personal issue between Judson and. Banks. Either may annihilate the other legislatively. without the people turning a hair''. But there are measures pending or to be intro- drced. as to which the people will tolerate nc. trifling. They will demand action of positive character and they don't care a rap' what name may be attached to. the desired measures or to whom the credit for their en- actment shall be awarded. There will be a close scrutiny of the acts of these rival leaders

MANY SCALES WRONG
SeaIer Maroney Condemns 279 and Has 3S5 Corrected in New
 Haven.

New Haven. Jan. 1.-The annual re- port of Edward J. Maroney, sealer of weights and measures, which has been submitted to Mayor Frank J. Rice, brings to light the rather startling fact that little over IS per cent of all the counter scales inspected dur ing the year of 1910 were found derec- tive in some way and were either corrected at the order of the sealer or condemned. Out of the total num- Der of 1,195, of those scales examined by MT. Maroney, 97S were found cor rect. 159 were incorrect but were fix ed at the sealer's order and 59 were condemned altogether.
 Out of the total number of platform scales tested, 3O9 were found correct, 36 had to be corrected and two were condemned! Of the. beam scales 55 were found correct, nine were cor rected and two were condemned. In the spring scales there was found all most as large a percentage of error as in the counter scales.
 Inl all during the year MT. Maroney tested 17,27O articles of which 3S5 were corrected and 279 condemned.
