Whatever objection there may be to
all suggestions for the rensioning of
ordinary civil service employees, there
should be none to the bill presented
by Senator Jones for the pensioning
of men In the lifesaving service of
the country. The pension system
now applies to the personnel Of the
army, the navy and the revenue cut
ter service. The officers Of the latter
service are placed on an equality with
those Of the army and navy in the
matter of retirement and retiring pay,
says the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
Service in the lifesaving corps classes
with the services wherein the pension
system is now considered proper. The
men In the lifesavign service do their
work at imminent peril Of life and
limb. Sickness and broken constitu.
tons have followed the innumerable
instances from the work done and
hardships encountered In lifesaving
during midwinter gales of the At.
lanttc coast. AS compared with ordi-
nary civil service positions, the pay
of the men in the lifesaving corps is
scanty. Keepers of stations get 5000
a year. below the average for depart.
mental clerks, while surfmen get $65
a month and this only for portion of
the year.

HArpINs AND WOMEN.

American efforts to regulate the
length Of women's hatpins. in order
to lessen the danger therefrom, are
the extreme Of mildness when com.
pared with the drastic measures
adopted by the railway administration
Of Saarbrucken, Germany. In this
country numerous municipal bodies
have discussed the hatpin question,
and few have fixed upon a certain
number of inches as the length to
which women could lawfully go in the
wearing Of hat fasteners, says the
Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph. So
far as known. however, there has
never been an attempt to enforce such
an ordinance-probably for the rea.
son that American women are consid.
cred able to regulate such matters for
themselves. It remained for the afore-
said German railway administration
to prescribe desperate remedy for
what seems to be regarded over there
as a desperate disease-if the follow
ing Of fashion can be termed a dis.
ease. The railway officials of Saar.
brucken have received their orders as
to how they must act when they are
confronted by woman wearing
hatpin Of the prohibited length. She
must be requested to remove It, and
II she refuses to do so she Is to be
prevented from travelling by train and
told to leave the station. further re-
fusal to obey making her subject to
imposition Of hne. Thus 1t is made
manifest that Germans are bold where
Americans are timorous.

: It Is tallacy to suppose that the re.
striction Of racetracks in the crusade
against poolroom gambling has put an
end to the career Of tho thoroughbred
horse. says the Washington Herald.
There still remains an undiminished
demand for hunters. and II the gam.
bling evil can be eliminated 1t is more
than likely that racing may be re-
vived for sports sake. Then there
continues to be the acquisition of
cavalry horses by the government.
which in itself offers a remunerative
field for the horse breeder. Nor has
the automobile put out of business
the draft and work horse of trade and
commerce. It will be long while
before the necessity for horses will
cease, and If market prices are any
criterion to Judge by, the demand ia
greater than the present supply.

The other day a man was arrested
and fined for using disrespectful Ian.
guage to policeman. thereby inter-
fering with him in the discharge Of his
duty. 1t is strange that there should
be men who think they can do that
with impunity, says the Chicago Tri-
bune. One may be guilty of bigamy,
or run trust, or be steady CRATER.
and yet escape punishment. but the
consequences Of reviling policeman
are inevitable. So, when there are so
many crimes to pick from. no intelli.
gent man should select this. A police
man on his beat is greater than a
major general or than a teamster in
his pride of place. If the president Of

by a policeman to move on" It

Detroit board of health has issued q

the Columbus Dispatch. To these ad'
monitions the Washington health of.

Among the many ana eventful ex-
periences of Prof. Roy Corbett the
genial instructor at the agricultural
college. there Is one of recent date
which has just come to light ands
which his many friends have enjoyed
to the utmost.
Professor Corbett is a great auto
mobile enthusiast and his trips through
the country are frequent He often
takes his friends with him and many
good times are enjoyed.
The event happened while taking a
spin to nearby town. He had the
misfortune to run short OF auto juice.
After inquiring at several places for
gasoline to no avail. he decided to
make one more effort to secure some
and called at a house where the pensa
pie were newcomers. st-,
Mr.. Corbett knocked gently at the
door and soon the woman OF the house
appeared in response. Very affably ne
asked her IL she had "a little gasoIine'f,
to spare. Not understanding what be
meant, the woman replied:
Il ANITA got no gasoline. / got Al
little Pauline. Wy for you want herr
She balm only year old" slt&
Professor Corbett hastily retreated
realizing his predicament, much to a:e
enjoyment OF the rest Of the crowd. 4
