CERTIFICATES FOR BRIDES
Campaign That Is Being Carried on
by Swiss Society of Public Utility
for Women.

If the Influential Swiss Society OF
Public Utility for Women" which has
branches in every large town IN
Switzerland, and has done a great deal
OF good work, has its way, young
Swiss women, both married and un-
married, will be physically and medi-
cally examined, like their brothers,
who are obliged to enter the army.
The society calls upon Swiss wom-
en- to undergo the test voluntarily,
and hopes to inaugurate the service
next year. I'VE feel ourselves respon.
sible,' says the society, "for the
health, homes and character of our
people" and calls upon Swiss young
women to undergo temporary ordeal
for the sake of herself, her husband,
her children and her country.
If every young man before his
marriage asked for health certificate
of his bride" said a supporter of the
scheme to me, ut would be in force
tomorrow. The scheme wants the
support of both men and women, old
and young, of every class, for the
benefit of not only Switzerland, but
mankind. Every government in the
world would be glad to support the
movement when once launched. We
shall try"

ODD GRATING EXPERIMENTS
Prolific Result Of the Union Of iomsto.

A Michigan gardener has been graft

Crimson Cushion tomato grated on
to an egg PLAINTIFF Kaiser. He then
went further and grated a Trophy to-
mato on to an egg plant, naming the
resulting tomato the Roosevelt.
The ingenious gardener. however,
made a mistake in using that name so
early in the game. For soon another
inspiration came to him, and he graft
ed the Kaiser tomato on to a red pep

Those Dangerous Hatpins.

One of the many objections to the
big hats. which the women are wear.
ing: nowadays is that they need to be
secured by pins of proportionate mag.
nitude, and that the points of these
pins protrude in a manner which rem.
defs them a menace to all who come
within their reach. No one can ride
IN crowded car without mourning
the risk of being jabbed by one of
these formidable weapons, and II
really is time that the public were
protected from this by no means
negligible danger by the adoption and
enforcement of legislation appropriate
to the need. .

individuality In Musicians.

The musical performer has a two
fold duty to the music; he must sup
plement and must not contradict.
Supplement because no composer can
indicate on paper more than the mere
shell Of the music, but, also, never
imagine anything that the composer
might have indicated, but did not.
Might not this train Of thought be
perhaps carried further? 1t seems
arguable that 1t applies not only to
rhythmical problems, but to. the

The Bridgeport Wreck Report.

In contrast with the finding of the
coroner in the Bridgeport wreck case.
the report of the chief inspector of safety
appliances Of the interstate commerce
commission places the blame wholly upon
the dead engineer for endeavoring to take
mis- train from one track to another by
means of a cross-over switch at too high
rate of speed The coroner held that
the switch was pitched at too sharp an
angle for the speeds that were ordinarily
maintained, and blamed the company for
the equipment, in view of the fact that
trains were frequently run over 1t at a
dangerous rate. The commissions in
spector recognizes the inadequacy of the
reliance upon mere rules and restrictions
placed by railroad companies upon their
operatives to insure safety. He recon-
paratus be provided to insure the stopping
Of trains when signals or rules are not
obeyed; that switches should not be
set TO divert high speed trains from one
| track to another at any cross-over not
| safe for high speed, and that approach
| locking should be provided to prevent
switches from being changed from a
| through to diverging route after q train
has received signals for the through
route. These suggestions are all based
upon the theory that the company's re-
sponsibility does not cease with the writ
ing OF orders which are supposed to gov
ern operatives in all circumstances. II
has been obvious for years that automatic
control devices were required to check
overanxioNs engineers from crowding the
blocks, and from taking chances beyond
