No play in years has game the

TALKING AND DOING

For years l talked, day out and day
in, of triumphs l planned to win. I
hung about the market place and
poured through my elastic face flood
of visionary schemes and futile plans
and bughouse dreams. I'd win dis
tinction as a cook; I'd write an epoch
making book; I'd twang Tyre in no
BILE rage; I'd go and elevate the stage.
A hundred schemes did invent, and
now | sit without cent, as gloomy
as an itchy owl, while wolves around
my doorway howl And friends of
mine, who talked much less have
hewn a pathway to success. see
them in their motor cars, with fuzzy
hats and real cigars. Their wives
are wearing gems and furs, while
mine is wearing cockleburs. Too late
I see where l was wrong when | was
young and brisk and strong, l should
have had for work desire-dreams
are fold old men by the fire.

MANY PETTicOATs

The French manufacturers, who
have petitioned the minister OF COM
MERGE to wage war on tight dresses,
would probably welcome revival OF
the fashion of seventy years ago,
saws the Pail Mall Gazette.
According to a German historian OF
the nineteenth century costume, Herr
Oscar Fischel, about 1910 as many
petticoats were worn as possible.
over one of flannel came another pad
ded with horsehair. above that one
of Indian calico. stiffened with cords,
then a wheel of thickly plated horse
hair. a starched muslin petticoat, and
at last the dress itself A few years
later fashion prescribed flannel pet
ticoat. an under petticoat three and
a half yards wide, another one wadded
TO the knees and stiffened in the up
ner part with whalebone, a white
starched petticoat with three tlounces
and two muslin petticoats.

TAXING BACHELORS

One of the smallest of the German
principalities is undertaking a very
big experiment in financial legislation.
The Diet of the elder Of the two prin-
cipalities of Reuss, which lie in cen
trail Germany, to the southeast of the
Thuringian states, carried yesterday
a resolution in favor Of increasing the
state income tax by per cent. of the
tax on incomes between $500 and
$1,000, and by 10 per cent. of the tax
on incomes exceeding $1,000 a year n
the case of unmarried persons of eth
er sex, who have reached their thir-
tieth year. The Diet consists of
twelve members. and the resolution
was carried by seven votes against
five. The super-taxation of bachelors
has often been promised in other Ser
man states. and was jocularly re-
ferred to as a possible form of impe-
rial taxation by the Emperor William.

THE uNsTuDfED CARIBBEAN

An annual average loss in wrecks
in excess of 100000 in the Carib-
bean sea directs attention to certain
problems in this basin, considered as
the Atlantic approach to the Panama
canal, now nearing completion. That
the stated loss is due principally to
conditions which can be remedies is
recognized by all maritime authori-
ties. That this record of marine dis
asters threatens to rise proportion
ately with the prospective threefold
development of commerce through the
canal urges consideration of these
problems in their larger and more
scientific aspect.
with a longer littoral and area
equal to the Mediterranean, the Carib-
bean presents a series of related con-
ditions no less interesting than those
or the SueZ gateway and far less ad-
vanced toward solution Foremore in
immediate commercial and maritime
: importance come questions of acau-
rate and comprehensive charting, of
adequate lighthouses, beacons and
buoys. Following closely run the de-
tailed and seasonal study of currents,
meteorology, magnetic variations
and the imperfectly known contours
OF the ocean bed. The geology of
the littoral and islands needs critical
examination, for in few other portions
OF the known globe are the forces of
erosion, upheaval and coastal growth
in such rapid operation. Caribbean
biology, from the side of scientific
economics, is fallow. The cursory
voyage of the Albatross, the three
cruises of the Blake and the compre-
hensive work of Evermann on the
fishes of Porto Rico and of Jordan
on the fishes of Cuba and Jamaica are
mere 'spies in Canaan" in one of the
richest fields of marine investigation
in the world.
Four centuries have passed, and
yet the Caribbean is almost as closed
to exact knowledge as when the first
white keel shared it's blue waters
