THE ICEMAN's GAME.
Kansas city Times.

Kansas City Times.
The king is dead-lonE live the king!
So start the welkin echoing,
For with the first warm breath OF sprint
The iceman came,
No more the plumber fills with awe,
No more the coal mans word Is law;
We even give them the ha! ha!
The iceman's came
You hang your ice card on the door,
The iceman sees but TO ignore,
He passes by and you get sore
And call him names.
But lmpotent Is all your ire:
The sun still scorcnes you like fire
You fret and sweat-I mean perspire-
But all in vain.
Until In humbleness at last
You seek this potentate and cast
Yourself before him, pale, aghast,
And beg a chunk.
Then. maybe, TO your residence
He'll bring with cold Indifference.
A chunk that looks like % cents
But costs a plunk.

Extension of Postal savings.
Boston Transcr,nt

.VNVVII
Postal savings banks seem to have
achieved quick popularity in the west,
where they fill a long-felt want. In the
east however, they are competitive with
oid, established savings banks paying
higher rates Of interest than the govern
ment gives and under state supervision.
There Will be more than coo postal banks
IN operation within a month. and the fair
test OF the system will be the amount of
deposits they gather in regions where IA
cilities for savings have heretofore been
very limited.

Lawyers Raising the Bars

The New York legislature passed
bill which becomes effective as law
July l, extending the time of prepare
ton OF all law students one year. That
means college or university graduates
must devote three instead of only two
years to law before being admitted to
practice. Some additional restrictions
are likewise thrown about the admis-
sion OF lawyers from other states. The
whole purpose is to limit the number
OF practitioners, which had gone be-
yond all reasonable bounds, and the
legislature found 20 its satisfaction
that many lawyers were barely eking
out an existence, the result being that
evil practices were steadily on the in
crease.
No doubt similar situations might
be found In other states. We do not
have to accept the word of a layman
for this, but We may take that of so
eminent a member of the bar as Gov
ernor Woodrow Wilson--that there
is vital need for raising the standard
of the legal profession. II stands to
reason that overcrowding the field so
that the supply is inordinately beyond
the demand will lead some men, in the
straits OF making a living, to adopt
methods degrading to the ethics OF
any profession. II this state OF af-
fairs can be corrected. even to linn
TIED extent, by a law such as New
York has enacted 1t is well to have

Persons who ride in the McAdoo tunnel
trains are apt to be puzzled as to the way
in which the trains are started. There
is no bell or buzz sounded and no signal
is displayed at the starters office. Yet
it is plain that a signal is given, for all
the guards and platform men get busy
closing the car doors and Tending off
tardy passengers by a common impulse
the second before the train gets into
motion.
The mystery is solved by watching
the edge of the platform, or rather the
narrow space between 1t and the cars.
There is a row of electric lights under
the overhang of the platform and these
flare up when the starter closes a switch
in his office at the moment when the start
OF the train Is due. As soon as the train
pulls out the switch is opened and the
lamps go dark again until 1t is time for
the next train to start.
An advantage of the plan Is that every
employe on the train or the platform
can see the signal no matter where he
may be standing.

CLEARS COMPLEXION
OF ALL AGE MARKS

Writing for the Boston Globe. Mae
Martyr says: The woman who breads
using face powder will find splendid relief
from her complexion Ills by using instead
a lotion made by dissolving 4 ounces of
spurmax in 1h-pint hot water adding 2 tea
spoonfuls glycerine. Or in cool weather, to
make the lotion dry pore quickly. use "
pint witch hazel instead Of the water.
This simple, inexpensive lotion far sur
passes face powder, as 1t gives lasting
beauty to the skin. 1t stays on better and
does not show on the skin like powder For
whitening and refining a coarse, muddy or
sallow skin, this lotion is unequaled- II
takes away that shiny look and makes the
skin satiny and youthful looking. No beauty
seeker should be without this wonderful
complexion beautifier, as few applications
will make any face look years younger A."
