Tippler's Favor Beer

The official figures for the consumption
Of alcoholic beverages I'm this country show
that the per capita consumption of spirits
fell from 252 gallons in 1870 to 1877 gallons
in 1909.
Since the drinking of spirits is almost
entirely confined to whisky, rum, gin and
brandy, II is apparent that the cOnsump-
ton OF the liquors which contain the larg-
est proportion of alcohol has been reduced
about half.
II the figures for the closing decades Of
the eighteenth and the early decades of
the nineteenth centuries We're available,
says the Independent, they would show
that there was even more " hard drinking
at this early period.
The consumption of wine has more than
doubled from 1910 to 1909 increasing from
% to 10 gallons. large part Of this in
crease Is due to the consumption of ma
| tive wines.
| When the per capita consumption of beer
and ale is considered, the greatest change
! is apparent. This has increased from 1 81
gallons in 1870 to 1897 gallons in 1909. To
how great an extent this change is due
TO the German immigra ton, which first
came TO this country in large numbers
about lS4S is. of course, probiematical
Many Of the wine drinking races, like the
Italians, after a brief residence in this
country become consumers of beer.
Although there has been a great Increase
in the total consumption OF intoxicant'
during the period from 1910 to 1909 there
has been a change from those drinks con
tanning a high percentage OF alcohol t
those containing a low percentage-snC

Bathing Dresses Follow the Lines Of
Frocks,-The narrow skirt, gathered
into a string band at the bottom, and
the crossed over sailor collar, with long
revers, give this bathing dress much
the appearance of a smart summer
afternoon frock, except that the skirt
is short-short enough 10 show q hint
of the full knickers which match the
dress and which nre coming into vogue
again now, the skin-tight bathing
tights not being considered good taste
by many women. This pretty suit of
mauve and blue changeable silk has q
cap to match and its wearer strolls
down to the water under n mauve col
ored parasol to match this costume.
A Pink Linen Morning Frork.-
Whether or not the linen tailored
frocks are as cool as more dinphanous
models, they are at any rate the
grand chic this summer fo- street
wear. This pink linen is typical OF
the smart morning costumes one sees
at the scashore and even In New York
on warm mornings, The touches of
black in collar, cuffs and pocket fac
ing are characteristicallv smart and
tho lace turnovers on these black fac
ings add n dainty note. The belt
is white leather. The parasol is
black satin lined with pink.

EXPORTS SHOW
 BIG INCREASE

Washington January 22.-The exports of the United States increased in the prin- cipal articles of trade more than s126,o00,- 0o0 during 1910 over the previous year, according to figures compiled by the bu- reau of statistics of the department of commerce and labor.

 On the other hand wheat, flour. bacon, hams, lard, cottonseed oil, fresh beef, live cattle and other food articles showed decline. The one article of natural production which showed a marked in- crease was cotton, of which the exports in 1910 were s531 100000 against s462. 900 oDO in 1909. this increase being due. however, the reports show, solely to higher prices. Corn also showed a slight increase in the previous year.
 Figures thus far received by the bureau indicate the total value of foodstuffs ex- ported in 1910 will be about $a45, COG, 900, against s4O000O.O0O in 1909 and that the value of manufactured articles will reach about $S25.000000, against s721,0O0,00O the previous year.

 The Kentucky congressman claims that he. has facts to present to the committee which will convince its members that the affairs of the cor poration should be investigated.

He will discuss fully the merger with the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad company de- ciarirrgs that the promoters deceived President Roosevelt in their confer ences with him.

DIRECT SENATORIAL ELECTION IN CRAVE DANGER OF DEFEAT

Washington, January 22.-(Special)-The constitutional amendment, pending before the Senate, providing for the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people, is in grave danger of defeat.
 Through legislative chicanery. which has more than once served its purpose in Congress, this amendment, overwhelming ly favored by the people, promises to be loaded down with rider so obnoxious to g strong minc:ity that before allowing it's addition they will defeat the entire project and leave unchanged the present confessedly vulnerable method of electing senators. rr
 Finding after careful poll of the Sem ate that on it's merits the direct election of senators has over the necessary two thirds for ratification, the opponents of the amendment have decided to press the adoption of an amendment, giving Con gress the power to supervise elections
 This means that the government. or, more propertly, the administration in power. will have authority to conduct elections for United States senators. In a word, it is regarded as nothing less tran the force bill advocated by Senator

Lodge. and which. it is important to re- member, gave the democrats the presi- dency in 1892.
 It only requires a ma jority to place this amendment on the proposed constitutional amendment, and, if this is effected, it turns every southern senator against the constitutional amendment and forces them to vote down a proposition which most of them sincerely advocate. In this connection. there are reports. however. that certain senators who are afraid to vote openly against the constitutional amendment are abetting the rider" in order that the direct election of United States senators may be indirectly de- feated.
 It will be recalled that the campaign publicity bill was delayed for over year by tie House placing upon 1t precisely the same kind of rider which Is now be- ing urged in the Senate. This rider owing to country-w wide demand, was finally eliminated, and a vote direct on the merits of the proposition had with the result that a campaign fund publicity act Is now on the statute books.
 Whether the same results can be achieved in the present instance is mat ter of doubt and another Congress prom ses to roll by with the direct election of senators again held up by reason of a legislative subterfuge advanced by re- publican senators.
