Some Socialist Claims.

The Socialists claim on behalf of the
present administration that IL was
thoroughly honest and made every ef-
fort to eliminate graft and corruption
from every municipal department.
early in office, Il is claimed. the So
cialists uncovered and stopped a long
standing paving graft. The cost of
paving was thereby reduced from
S2.25 and $40 to S1.26 and sl.4O per
square yard, which alone saved the
voters more than 100000 in 1911. 1t
is also claimed that under the present
administration the wage Of the COM
mon laborer i'm city employ has been
increased from Sl.75 to So for an eight
hour day, while the regular union
scale is paid all skilled workmen and
If obtainable. only materials made by
union labor were purchased by the
city.
The Socialists also point with pride

MARRIAGE ut Fifty.

An interesting and unusual estimate
Of the proper age for matrim ony Is
that advanced by Mrs. Vivian. head
and founder OF the National Society OF
the Daughters OF California. The
happiest and most successful mar
riages. she says, are those between
the man Of fifty and the woman of
thirty-five. At that age OF discretion,
she claims, the male has become more
mellow and tolerant as well as more
solvent. On the other hand she esti-
mates tnat girl OF twenty Is much
harder to get along with than to get
along without, and that there ought
to be laws prohibiting people marry
Ing before they are thirty years old.
We do not know what authority the
Daughters Of California have In such
matters. but we fancy that improvi-
dent young people will for the present
continue to rush headlong into matri-
mony at assorted tender ages. When

RUN DOWN AN ARMADILLO
Animal Killed by Dogs In Virginia
Proves to Be Soldiers
Pet.

While hunting In the Virginia
woods, near Bailey's crossroads, in
Alexandria county, few nights ago,
pack of dogs belonging to John
Monroe and a colored man named
Mortimer Virgins ran down and
killed an animal believed to be an
armadillo.
The dogs were after opossums and
coons, but getting on the scent Of the
animal, followed 1t for an hour or
more before they landed their quarry.
Later 1t was learned that the arma-
dillo belonged to one of the troops of
cavalry at Fort Myer. The men had
secured a number Of the animals
while on duty on the Texas border
and had brought them to the fort.
The one that was killed had es-
capped and the men had been hunting
the woods for 1t for several days,
when they learned that 1t had been
killed. This is possibly the only arm
adillo hunt that ever took place in the
vicinity Of Washington.

TAPPING LAKE OF GENEVA
Project by Which Water May Be
Brought to Paris by 30o-MIle
Canal.

New York is not the only great city
that is troubled by the problem OF
water supply. Paris has SO nearly
reached the limit Of its convenient
supply that 1t has revived the project
Of drawing upon the water of Lake
Geneva
This lake is in Switzerland, in the
minds of most persons, but most OF
the southern shore is French, terri
tory, and although the control Of the
level by the barrage at Geneva is
Switzerland's by treaty, still France
claims 1t has rights that would allow
1t to lower the level by four inches
during the dry season, which is all
that Is contemplated under the pres
ent plan.
The proposed canal would be over
three hundred miles long, including
many tunnels and the crossing OF
four large rivers, and would cost
about $100,000,000. 1t has not ad-
vanced beyond the stage of discus
sion. but the need of Paris is so press
Ing that 1t may yet be realized.
