Baths and the Tub.

From Tho Office Window in the y. Y. Mail
The Office window has had something
to say about some benghted foreigners in
Indiana who used their bath tubs as coal
bins. but it recognizes there is something
to say on the other side. AS a matter of
fact, the daily bath is a modern luxury.
and even so, is not dependent on a sta
tionary tub 1t can be negotiated in an
old ia shioned washtub, in baby's bath,
or with the aid of small tin hand-basin
Good apartments abroad often have no
such thing as the stationary bath. BY
virtue of necessity. people in boarding
houses must forego the bath tub oftener
than once week Twenty-Five years
ago most houses outside the cities were
without tubs, and the weekly bath was
the first order of business in a village
Saturday night. All of us are descended
from people. not SO many generations
, back, who might battle no more than once
a year. There are a good many million
persons in Europe today whose average
is not much better than that.

The Diving Tackle.
st. Nicholas.

From ST. Nicholas
The diving tackle is supposed to be done
away with, but those of us who have
watched the games this year thus far
have found that the present rule cannot
possibly eliminate it altogether. No man
will wish to allow an opponent to score a
touchdown against him. provided he can
prevent him by making a diving tackle
The present penalty of five yards cannot
absolutely do away with this. and it is
just as we'll that it should not Except
ON punt. this form of tackling never ap-
peared really dangerous. 1t was safe
play, to my mind, with that one excep-
ton. l believe this new rule WAS passed
in attempt of the rules committee to
meet the demands of a public who tncor-
rec,ly believed that the old diving tackle
was dangerous.

FOUL PLAY FEARED
Hamilton Fish Benjamin Re-
ports His Wife Missing.
APPEALS TO THE POLICE
Mrs. BENJAMIN Slow in Returning
From Theater, Whittier She
Had Gone Alone.

NEW YORK, March 3.-For an hour
early today the police force of New York
secured the center of the city for Mrs.
Hamilton Fish Benjamin. a prominent So
ciety woman, the wife of a wealthy Wall
street broker and a niece of Robert Ba-
con, the American ambassador to France.
It was Just 1 o'clock when Mr.. Benja-
min. in fur coat and silk hat, rushed
breathless into the 9th street police sta
ton, a few blocks from his Lexington
avenue home, and painted excitedly that
his wife was missing and he feared foul
play.
Wife Had Gone to Theater.
His excitements made his first state
ments almost incoherent. but the police
finally extracted from him the informa-
ton that Mrs. Benjamin, early IN the
evening. had gone unaccomIamed 10 the
METROPOLITAN Opera House. where Mr. Ben
iamin is a boxholder He had expected
her home long before midnight. and when
1890 came and she had not returned he
became alarmed.
A telephone message TO the garage
showed that the car which had awaited
his wife at the opera house was still out
Mr. BENJAMIN declared, and something
serious must have happened.
DO YOU want to send out a general
alarm" asked the sergeant.
Yes by all Means urged MT. ben1a-
min, I'VE must get all the police after
this at once"
Has Green Eyes.
His description of his wife was as fol-
lows:
"Twenty-seven years old. fair complex
ion, 100 pounds weight. > feet inches,
green eyes
Green eyes?' asked the sergeant, ARE
you sure?'
Yes, green eyes, / am sure. Hurry,
please.'' replied the broker.
While Mr. Benjamin was pacing the
station house floor awaiting the result of
the police alarm, a servant from his
house burst into the room.
Mrs Benjamin is at home" she eX-
claimed.
The broker bolted out of the door with
out waiting for particulars. and the police
search was called off as hastily as 1t mad
begun.
1t developed later that Mrs. Benjamin
had merely stopped a few moments with
friends on her way home.

Aldermen Will Reject Amended

Special Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
ALEXANDRIA. Va, March 3. 1911.
1t was learned today on the best au-
thority that the board Of aldermen, when
they meet this afternoon, will refuse to
concur in the action Of city council in
passing the amended tax ordinance last
Tuesday making the rate s1.1J on the one
hundred dollars. The aldermen will ask
for conference committee. and doubtless
this committee will reach some agreement
at a future date, which will then be
passed upon by both boards.
1t is explained by some of the members
of council that the city tax rate is grad
ually increasing. The discount of 10 per
cent formerly given made the rate on
prompt payment Sill on the one hundred
dollars. Recently the discount was cut
from 10 to per cent for prompt pay
ment. This made the rate for prompt pay
ment s1.7S 80 on the one hundred dollars.
Now council wants the. rate Of $1.75 fiat
on the 500. which, as heretofore stated
would be saving Of So cents on the old
assessment. Really, however, there would
be no saving, but a considerable incre3 Sc
to those who had their assessments raised
to any extent, when the 81 cents on the
500 is taken into consideration for state
taxes. upon which there is no discount.
Just what the conference committee will
do when the matter is presented to it is
in doubt. Some are of the opinion that
an agreement will be reached which will
prove acceptable to both sides and be
passed upon very shortly by both branches
of council. Until this matter is passed
upon the city tax bills cannot be made.
