Senator Young of Iowa to Expound
Des Moines Commission Plan
of City Government

WASHINGTON, April 10.-After
three days of idleness both branches
of congress resumed work today.
There was some expectation that be-
fore the day was over that house mi
nority leader, Mann, might be able to
submit his selections for standing
committees. Two speeches on timely
subjects figured in the schedule of
the senate today. Notice was given
last week by Senator Rayner of Mary
land that he would discuss the situa-
ton in Mexico including the attitude
of Japan and the application of the
Monroe doctrine to conditions of the
border. Senator Young of Iowa gave
notice of his intention to expound the
Des Moines commission plan Of gov
ernment and commend it to Other
cities.

SHORTHAND AS A PROFESSION.

A recent graduate Of our shorthand
department is now employed as q ste.

went to work." she remarked a few
days later, my father felt bad for
fear employment as stenographe-
would lessen my standing in the world.
l don't know why he should fcsl that
way; 1t seemed very foolish. HIS soon
got over it though. It's all in the girl
anyway, no matter what occupation
she may choose"
Shorthand and typewriting has he
come great industry for women and
has enabled them to achieve economic
freedom as nothing else could do.
Young women from the grammar
grades and the high school VIII, have
had our training have become ve.y
successful in the business world. The
young woman stenographer with ,e~
spect for herself, IL respected by all.
II she is intelligent, and takes deep in
terest in her employment, advance
ment is sure to follow.
Expert stenography provides the
best openings for college women High
salaries and permanent employment
await the woman who is competent to
take dictation and copy it correctly
and quickly. 1t is impossible to bring
too much education to the profession,
for the woman who desires 20 clilno 10
the top.
A frequent difficulty in the way of
college graduates is the exaggerated
idea Of their own Importance. They
are too apt to look out for what they
wnnt to do, and not what the wcr'd
needs to have done---to think more If
making demands than Of suppl ying
them.
Shorthand and typewriting also pr,-
vide most excellent profession fer
young men, as well as q stepping
stone to higher and more responsible
positions. The education received in
office may not be classical, but it is
practical and of general natore, m
education that gives an all-around de-
velopment. Co-telyou, Loeb, Box and
a host Of other men, prominent IN
business affairs, began as stenogl-,ph-
ers.
The writer believes in young h.en
and women getting all the education
that they can. We frequently advise
boys and girls to finish the grades n,,d
to enter high school. There are mary
who do not care to 60 to the high
school, and to this class we say, ty all
means get busines training such Ms
this school offers.
To those graduating from high
school we believe as Albert Porter,
Ex-Governor of Indiana, expressed 1t:
IF l were young man and had TO
make my choice between graduating
at classical college and stopping
there, or graduating at business GEL
lege and stopping there, would take
the business college in preference"

RADIUM AND PERPETUAL MO
TION.

Attempts innumerable have been
made to solve the puzzle of perpetual
motion, and probably the nearest So
luton has been reached by time
piece devised by R. J. Strut, Lord
Rayleigh's son. The timepiece con-
sists of two leaves Of aluminium, an
exhausted glass tube and fraction Of
grain Of radium. The radio-activity
of the radium causes the aluminium
leaves to move once each minute, and
with wireless coherer, bell rings
at each movement. For 10000 years
at least, the wonderful energy inner
ent in the miscroscopic piece of ra-
dium will, it is claimed, continue to
act, and nothing whatever need be
done to the clock when once it is Sc,
going.

WASHINGTON, April 10.-Dr. H.
W. Wiley, chief of the bureau of chem
istry of the department of agriculture
and noted for his pure food" investi-
cations, has sounded warnings against
colored eggs. He says many dyes
used to produce the bright colored con-
fections so near to the childish heart
at Easter time contain arsenic, lead
and antimony.
t'The worst feature is that in many
distances these poisons do not imme-
5diately manifest themselves" said DR..

STEWARD, WATERS AND CHEF
ROBBED BY LONE BANDIT

ST. LOUIS, April 10.-An Iron
Mountain passenger train was board
ed tonight within the city limits by an
armed and masked robber, who held
up the white steward on the dining
car, four negro walters and a negro
chef.
The robber, as far as has been dis
closed in reports to the police, did not
get more than $40.
The train is the same one on which
a Pacific Express company messenger
was held up and robbed a month ago
by two masked and armed men.
No arrests were made in the for
mer case and the police are inclined
to believe that one Of the men who
participated in the first holdup prob
ably was the man who held up the
train.
No passengers were molested. The
robber got on the train at the Broad
way station in Carondolet and paid a
cash fare to the Union Station. After
the only intervening stop was made at
Tower Grove the robber left the day
coach, passed through the Pullmans
halting long enough in the vestibule
OF the diner to don his mask. Then he
invaded the car, flourishing his revol-
yer.
The robbery was the work Of only
a few minutes. The robber backed
out Of the car and swung from the
platform into the railroad yards. The
police have found no trace of him.

THE CALAMITY HOwLER.

A dog sat out in the midnight chill

he howled and howled as the hours
went by, while lodging the bricks we
threw, till the moon was low in the
western sky, and his voice was split
in two. And there wasn't \ thing at
which to howl over which pup should
weep, and the course Of the dog was
