GOOD LESSON FROM GERMANY
There Municipalities Exercise Mild Form of Despotism Over the
 Owners of Property.

A common exercise of the individ- ual fancy is to decide with wealth of detail what one would do if one had, say, s10,000,0O0, declares the New York Tribune. The movement for 'cties beautiful which the public hears of every now and then resem- bles this pastime. When Chicago, Pittsburgh, Boston, or whatever city it may be, considers becoming Chi cago Beautiful or Pittsburgh Beauti- full or Boston Beautiful it is making up it's mind what it would do if it had $100,000,000. There is even a profession of telling cities what they might do if they had $1O0,O0G,o00, and the experts are kept fairly busy about it. The Tribune hopes that Brooklyn, the latest to consult one of these ex- perts. will have millions enough to make her as beautiful as she wishes to become. This consulting about what might be done to make Ameri- can cities more presentable is good sign in itself The public is not so content as formerly to trust their de velopment to haphazard. It's result has been bad in respect of beauty, of health and even of business economy. But in determining their own future development American cities are sad ly behind those of Europe. where, especially in Germany, municipalities exercise sort of benevolent despot- ism over the uses to which the indi vidual property owner may put his property.

 The beautiful sailor shape with square crown aud rolling brim, is cov- cred with dull-finished black silk. A band of crape as wide as the crown is laid smoothly about it. A broad crape bow is poised across the front with crape-covered buckle at it's center
 The long crape veil laid in 0 double box plait and sewcd to the under br1n, close to the head, is 8 purely decorative feature, although it may be worn about the neck ill a scarf-like manner. This fashion of wearing the drape like a throw about the neck may bring about a lengthening of the veil. It is very graceful fashion. Since crape is manufactured so that it is waterproof, it is as useful, in- deed, more useful, than fabrics not so protected, and may be used more free ly thcn ever before.

Got His Words Mixed.

In the recent cold weather a north side groceryman sent a customers or der of groceries carefully wrapped in 8 gunny sack to insure it against freezing.
 Five-year-old George was ill the kitchen with his mother when the groceries arrived, and heard her tell the delivery boy it was kind in them to take the extra precaution of wrap ping the gunny sack about the things.
 A few minutes later little George came running back to the kitchen and inquired, "Oh, mamma, what did you do with that guinea Dag?"

E T EW models from Paris in mourn MH ing millinery show a degree of " style and smartness which is
 hard to achieve in any apparel having less individuality than this special class. A turban and a hat, both designed for widow, are pie tured here. They are wonderful ex- amples of this class of millinery.
 The turban, which might more con- sistently be called turban-bonnet, is as, simple ill outline as possible and covered with English crape drawn smoothly over the crown. It's distinc- ton lies in the graceful draping and great length of the beautiful veil A width of crape, two yards long, is fin- ishad with a hem set On at the bot to1l quarter Of a yard deep. Tho ether end is wound about the turban frame, exactly in the fashion of an Oriental turban. The crape veil thus provides drapery for the turban, a scarf about tho shoulders and the reg ,llf aion widows veil, all in one. A tuche is not worn with this crape tur-

Cversea Invasion.

If it takes 35,O00 troops almost three weeks to carry out an oversea attack, with no opposition whatever, how long would 100000 or even 10000, take in tho face of some very dangerous opposl- tion, even if the bulk of the defending fleet is out of the way? Our coastal torpedo fotillas are always on the spot. As far as the events of this dtalian) war afford an indication, we should incur no undue risk if we dis patched our battle fleets in the Cape of Good Hope or Indian ocean, except to our trade routes near home waters.

GOOD PROSPECTS
FOR new UNIONS
IMPORTANT MEETING OF THE
FARGO TRADES & LABOR AS
sEMsLY LAST EvENING-TRADE
CONDITIONS ARE REPORTED I'M
GOOD SHAPE.

The regular meeting of the Fargo
Trades & Labor assembly was held
last night and it was well attended
and one of the most enthusiastic
meetings held for some time. Many
important matters relating to the
working men Of the two cities were
up for consideration.
The state Of trade as reported by
delegates from the various unions
showed that with the exception Of
some of the building trades work was
good, and the feeling prevailed that
Fargo would enjoy a prosperous
year.
The prospect for the formation of
new unions was never as bright as
the present time, and the unorganized
workers feel that their only saliva
ton from long hours and poor pay
lies through organization.
There are firms in this city whose
doors are never closed, and the busi-
ness is done by two crews. which
means that they must work v days
and seven nights. twelve hours a
shift. and tn wages paid barely
reach the bread line,'' said a union
mar at the meeting. This condition
will remain so, as long as the working
people keep out OF the union"

of the central body for a number of
years, was compelled on accoun of
pressure of business to resign, much
the regret of the assembly, as he
has been a most faithful worker, and
always willing to put his shoulder
to the wheel. Walter r. Lee, a promi-
nent MEMBER Of the plumbers union,
was elected to fill the vacancy.
Organizer Fielder of the A. f. Of L.
was present at the meeting and gave
n Of the most stirring talks that
has been heard in the hall for a long
time. The main points of his argu-
ment were to the effect that all union
wages should be spent for union made
goods. If this was done, he claimed
the labor problem would be solved to-
morrow. He said: "Just imagine
about $40, 100000 a week of union
wages being spent only for union
made goods? AS there are 2.O00,-
600 members of sle A. F. of L. this is
a conservative estimate"
Mr.. Fielder will be in the city for
some time in the interests of the labor
movement.
Organizer B. G. Brady of the I. T.
u, who has been in the city a few
days in the interest of his craft, left
for Minneapolis last night. Mr.. Brady
expects to visit Fargo again in the
near future.

A FLATTERING
union REPORT

Washington, April 6.-Secretary-
Treasurer Hayes Of the international
Typographical union has just forward
ed to headquarters a document show
ing the tremendous benefits conferred
upon the members OF that organiza-
ton by the international union. Us
ing the total membership of the unions
reporting increased scales Of wages as
a basis for calculation it reveals that
during the past year the wages Of af-
fected members have increased $685.
263.S4 per week, or $3,601,714.48 for the
year.
Owing to the fact that the collection
Of the international union on the old
age pension assessment is based upon
the percentage system, the interna-
tional union is in possession of the
exact earnings of each of it's members.
During 1911. the earnings per member
reached the high total of $974.13 for
the eyar.
This is probably the highest average
maintained by any labor organization
in the world whose members are m
ployed in any mechanical industry.
The Typographical union is a high
due organization and it's prosperity
and effectiveness is largely the result
Of the fact that its members are not
parsimonious in maintaining a strong
financial condition.

Il was surprised to hear that In

actually, to conceal the condition Of
his finances from his wife in order
to curb her extravagances. Thus the

British Physicians Of Prominence
Give Some Figures That Explain
Disparity Between the Sexes.

Though doctors have long realized
that. thanks to better knowledge
Of sanitation and personal hygiene.
people are living longer than formerly,
the much greater relative longevity
of women as shown in the recently
published British national debt Offices
report on the mortality of government
life annuitants has come as a general
surprise.
In summary of these fgues it was
shown that the expectation of life
of a woman of fifty is now more than
year greater than it was in 1875.
while that of man Of the Same ago
Is only three months greater.
Discussing the reasons Of our in
creasing longevity and In particular
,woman's stronger hold on life, physi.
clans at St. Bartholomew hospital
advanced widely different theories.
"The essential cause of DEATH" one
stated, lis wearing out from over
work of our brain cells. Women may
be just as brainy as men, but they
do not work their brain cells as vigor-
pusly or as continuously as do their
male relatives. If they did there
would not be so great disparity in
the length of life of the two Sexes
Another consultant puts down wo-
mans greater expectation of life to the
more sheltered existence she leads,
and the. lack Of the physically depress-
Ing competition which is part of near
~ every mans life "a woman may
have hard work to do he explained,
but except for the few who work in

work in their own homes. and at =
pace they set for themselves. The
home is also, as a rule. vastly more

RESTORE GRAY HAIR
TO NATURAL COLOR
By Common Garden Sage a Simple
Remedy for Dandruff, Falling,
Faded, Gray Hair. 49, i

The old idea of using Sage for
darkening the hair is again coming
In vogue. Our grandmothers had
dark, glossy hair at seventy-five,
while our mothers are gray before
they are fifty. Our grandmothers
kept their hair soft and glossy with
"Sage Tea," which also restored
the natural color.
One objection to using such a pre-
paration was the trouble of making
it. This objection has been over
come by the Wyeth Chemical Com
pany of New York, who has placed
on the market a superior prepara-
ton of Sage, combined with Sulphur
and other valuable remedies for dan
druff, itching scalp, and thin, weak,
falling hair.
The beauty of the hair depends
more on it's rich, even shading than
anything else. Don't have dry, harsh
faded hair, when a simple, harmless
remedy will bring back the color in
few days; and don't be torment
ed with dandruff, itching scalp and
loose, falling hairs. Wyeth's Sui
phur Sage and Hair Remedy will
quickly correct these troubles, and
give color, strength and beauty to
your hair. "..>-
