The business of the colossal

Do you know whether any

is, don't you think it is about
time to do something to check
the increase? If your indiv:d

MUST WOMEN DO JURY DUTY?
California Magistrates Are Confront
 ed By New Pr0blm

From the Los Angeles Times.
 If the word man refers genericaly to the human race and not to sex, the probabilities are that women juries will be immediately called upon to serve in police court trials where the liberty of members of the at present excluded sex is at stake.
 The question was brought up when Jury Officer Hoffman was sent from Jus tice Chambers court to summon tales men for the trial of Grace Morton, charged with having practiced medicine without a license. Juries composed of men have twice tried to settle her case, but have both times disagreed.
 Officer Hoffman reasoned that since women have been granted the right of suffrage they had also been given the right to sit on juries. He strode forth intending to grasp the first woman he met by the arm and ordered her to ap- pear as a juror.
 Whether the first he overlook had made careful study of the statutes Hoffman did not say. but he reappeared at the Central Station a very few min- utes afterward and demanded to know from the prosecutor if he should con tnue in his pursuit of women talesmen.
 The prosecutor pondered a while in vain. Then the matter was placed be- fore Police Judge Chambers for a rul- ing, so the officer could proceed with

MEXICAN REBELS
 MEET BAD DEFEAT

San Geronimo, Mexico November S.- Two hundred and fifty men of the Eff iteenth battalion who went to the aid of the little garrison in Juchitan routed the rebels believed to be 800 strong yesterday in a battle in which the fight ing was at times hand to hand. The relief came opportunely as the garri- son was almost reduced to its last round of ammunition. The loss to the rebels is estimated at 200 to 400 dead and many more wounded. The federals lost two score killed, among them Gen eral Merodio, chief of the zone.
 About half of the rebels were armed with firearms, the others carrying knives and clubs. The fate of their chief. Jose Gomez is not known. The rebels occupied trenches in the edge of the town and have frequently con- ducted raids, sacking business houses of Mexicans, but respecting the prop erty of foreigners.
 The Central hotel, owned by Mexi- can, was destroyed by dynamite.
 The federals charged the trenches, raking them with shot from rapid fire guns. After a desperate resistance the enemy took to the hills.
 Peace commissioners from the na- tional capital reached Juchitan today. Their presence is resented by the troops who fear they are to be robbed of the glory of hard earned victory.

A Bear for a Mascot
le Memphis News-Scimitar

From the Memphis News-Scimitar.
 How should you feel, if on opening your mail. you'd find letter from a friend, say twenty-five hundred miles away. who wrote that he was specially training a black bear cub, which he would send to make things cheerful for you? And you knew, furthermore, that he was doing 1t to help you fin your business," irrespective of whether you are in any place to keep it or not?
 That's the situation in which Capt N. J. Shelton, in charge of Uncle Sam's army recruiting station of Memphis. finds himself An army friend stationed in Yellowstone National Park wrote him few days ago. stating that he had a bear cub which he was training to drill, and which he was going to send on to the captain in Memphis. to serve as a mascot for the recruiting station.
 Captain Shelton does some anxious thinking whenever his thoughts drift toward the Western reservation. The bear is there now, but he's not going to stay. He is coming to Memphis.

A Thanksgiving Dinner in Paris

From the New York Sun.
 'I went to a Thanksgiving dinner in Paris last November" said an Ameri- can who had just returned from year abroad. Most of the guests were Frenchmen, Germans, Italians and Rus sians. The hostess was an American a New York woman who has been living abroad for several years, and who en- tertains hvishly in the French capital.
 "On the table were all sorts of things to remind one of home There were lights in pumpkins on the table and all sorts of American dishes, including a turkey which the hostess announced she herself would carve on the table in the American fashion. But the ma jority of sthe guests failed to grasp the significance of the feast and sat about trying to veil their astonishment at everything, even tos4the pumpkin pie. which they could be induced to attempt with difficulty. None of the foreigners seemed to know what Thanksgiving was

 connected. Existing law provides for the construction of the canal; also for the exercise of the military, civil and judi cial powers necessary for the government fthe canal zone during a period which has already elapsed.
 .As the worK hears completion it Is intended 10 concentrate the construction until what remains will be in immediate charge of the directing office, thereby reducing the costs. There has been con- siderable criticism because of the high wage scale that exists, but this is due 10 the fact that it was difficult to ob- tain men when the work started, on &C., count of the bad reputation of the coun- try. Conditions are different now. The chief sanitary officer declares the death rate of the zone to be much lower than that for most parts of the United States and the general health of about 5000 white Americans in the zone to be fully as good as it was in the United States; also, continuance in employment can be assured. It is believed that lower wage scale can be put into effect for operat- ing the canal, and that the necessary forces can be secured from the men who will remain in the service during the next year or two. This Is an important consideration, since it is essential that the cost of operation shall be reduced to a minimum consistent with efficiency With the operating organization provided for steps can be taken to adopt a salary and wage scale. after which there can be created from the construction force one for operation. without delay or con- fusion.
 "The total outlay for maintaing the canal will be for wages of the force en- gagged in it's operation. the expense of engineering work connected herewith, and the cost of sanitation and civil ad- ministratinn.

JUST ASK THE BARBER.

Some one has writer. that the bar
Der is the "modern guardian Of old
ties an6 associates" He is that but
something far more intimate also.
The barber is the conffdant and
scandal monger Of no mean stand
ing. One day in the barber shop
will prove to all who may wish to
find out that nine out of every ten
men will tell all his family and
other troubles to the one who is
shaving him. It seems that the pres
sure of the cold and treacherous ra-
zor blade acts as confidence slim
ulator." The man in the chair fair
ly overfows with his troubles, be
they small or large, disagreements
with his '1ife partner" or the too
strenuous attentions of some one
who is trying to land him in the web
of matrimony.
Any barber has in the back of his
Uranium enough of scandal gathered
from the "chair" conversations Of
his customers to fill several books.
Were the barber, as class, a man
given to silence, it would not be so
bad, but he isn't and his example in
garrulity seems to be contagious.

MOTORCYCLES IN GERMANY.

In this years German army
maneuvers the sight will be wit
messed Of motor tricyclcs speeding
about the battlefield. Hitherto it has
been found that much time was lost
in rendering medical assistance to
the wounded. To prevent such de-
lay during the coming maneuvers
field surgeons will be mounted upon
specially constructed motor tricyclcs
made on the lines of those now used
by tradesmen, in which will be car
ried all the necessary material for
first aid.
In the past a wounded man had
to be carried on a stretchor to the
nearest lazarette before help could
be rendered. In future should he
find it impossible to treat the case
on the spot, the surgeon can himself
convey the man to the lazarette on
his motor tricycle.. The machine
will be built so that it can 90 over
heavy ground, and it will, owing to
its speed, save many hours Of weary
waiting to the wounded.

Among the many callings and
trades is new one, or at least one
that has recently come to our at
tention. which is known as the
name broker" 1t is the business
of this man to collect the names of
easy marks" all over the country.
Men who may be successfully vic
timized in mining projects; can be
easily induced to purchase worth

some of the capital necessary to or
ganize all alleged insurance cOnn-
pany. The lists are as a general
thing made up ofpersons who have
recently inherited small fortunes.
We had heard of employment
agencies who call themselves
brain brokers" and offer for sale
the services of men and women of
ability but until recently advised
by reading an article in a current
magazine we did not know that
there are establishments that traffic
solely in the cupidity Of others.

HAIL THE STINGLESS BEE!

The announcement that the
Massachusetts Agricultural Col
lege, after years of experiments,
has at last produced a good, hon
est, Woodworking honey bee; one
that wouldn't even take a few
hours off in order to attend Sum
day school picnic, and couldn' t
have any fun if he did because the
men of science have rendered him
wholly impotent and harmless as a
singer, will doubtless be hailed
with mingled joy and sadness.
No doubt the timerous house
maid and a few others will regard
this happy result of the expert
nlents in taking away from the
poor bee his only weapon OF de-
tense and offense, with expressions
Of widest glee, but what will the
school boy do now for excitement?
What fun can you expect him to
rave in lifting a honey bee off a
zig, red clover blossom with the
-ormer chances of about nine to
one that he'll get shock from the
business end of the bee reduced to
z dead certainty that he won't?
Shucks! That wouldn't be even
interesting for a girl.
Then again when fellow gets
the rheumatism he will simply
have to suffer. whereas with the
old-style bee he could simply have
the disease stung out of him. 1t
is therefore a much mooted qucs-
ton whether the advent of the
stingless bee is blessing or real
calamity.

A GREAT MEDICAL TRIUMPH
aIicins Of the Proboscis Of Mosquito
to Get at MaIarlai Germs
in italy.

In the history of research are
many romances. Of the discovery
that malaria was caused by mos
quitoes it is related how Doctor Low
and Doctor Sombo lived in the ma
larious Roman Campagna without
quinine. They retired at sunset to
mosquito-proof hut, with double
doors and windows of wire net and
they did not leave until sunrise. The
fact that they remained immune
while the attendants sleeping out
side contracted malaria confirmed
the belief that the mosquitoes were
responsible. But how did they carry
the disease? At first it was thought
to be by water.
To settle the question live mos
quitoes which had bitten infected
peasants, were obtained, and two
members of the school submitted to
be bitten by them. They both went
down with malaria. Again, how did
the mosquitoes transmit the germ?
BY cutting sections of the proboscis
the malarious parasite was found. 1t
breaks through the skin of the pro-
boscis and is transmitted at the time
of the sting. From the first conjec-
ture to the final proof was a series of
careful experiments, ending with
slicing of the mosquitoes proboscis,
Now this is finer than fine hair. 1t
is necessary to stop to think. For
1t is easier to imagine the triumph
Of the proof than the delicate opera
ton that produced it.
