that the bill will be approved by the
upper house probably on Saturday,

governor can hold the measure Ave
days before acting and if he sends it
back to the legislature with his disap-
proval it will reach both houses about
August 2.

MILEAGE PULLING
MEASURE PASSED
Senate, Without a Dissenting
Vote, Adopts Bill Bitterly Op-
posed by the Railroads.

Travelling menlf Georgia and the entire
Southeastern territory won an important
victory in the senate today when the
Shaw bill, requiring Georgia railroads to
pull mileage on trains instead of exchang-
ing mileage for a ticket as is now the
vogue, passed the upper house without
a dissenting voice.
The success of the Shaw measure
means that the fight now being centered
on the state railroad commission by the
Travellers Protective association, United
Commercial Travellers and the Georgia
Travellers association win be transferred
TO the legislature. With the senate vic
tory achieved, great pressure will be
brought to bear on the house to approve
the measure
The railroads, it Is understood also
will lodge their objection to the measure
with the house committee on railroads.
The advisability Of ordering Georgia
railroads to pull mileage on trains is now
being considered by the railroad commits
sion. The travellers have asked the com
mission to consider a fiat 2-cent passen-
ger fare as an alternative.
Their petitions were opposed bitterly
by attorneys for the railroads before the
commission
ne oHdW mileage DIV mas mao d cneck-
cred career in the senate trick bill
which went to the upper house early last
session required railroads to install sep
arate windows and employ separate mile
age ticket agents in all cities of more
than 1000 population with an alterna-
tive of pulling mileage on trains. This
bill was amended to death in commit
tee. The present bill was introduced in
the senate on the last day of the last ses-
sion-August II. 1911.

After Writing Confession of
Fiendish Crime.

NEW YORK July 1S.-Natnan
Schwartz confessed murderer of
! twelve -year-old Julia Connors, com
mitted suicide by inhaling gas at 219
Chrystie street early today. The strik-
ing resemblance of the body to the de-
scription of Schwartz caused the po-
| lice Immediately to summon members
of the dead mans family and positive
identification was made by Philip
| Schwartz. a brother.
Schwartz left three hastily scrubbed
notes confessing the fiendish crime and
! expressing contrition for It,
| Following the discovery of the notes
and identification of the body, fur
ther search of the room by the police
revealed a complete confession. which
evidently had been written just before
the man turned on the gas preparatory
to taking his last sleep and cheating
justice of her due for one of the most
shocking crimes ever committed.
One of the notes left by the suicide
was scrubbed on the wall paper, an
other on his collar and a third on the
margin of a newspaper. In one of these
he said that two minutes after his
fendish act he was sorry for having
stabbed the girl to death. inficting Al
wounds.
Driven Insane BY Beautiful Woman.
Il was driven insane by the sight of
beautiful woman" another note
stated.
The confession that Schwartz left
was dated yesterday. 1t was apparent
| ly written in the idea that he would
| be able to comfort his mother with his
last words. He said that he was do
ing as he had been told to do by his
/ father
The confession in full was as fol-

he was a waist cutter out of work.

EMERGENCY SHORTCUTS.

The modern kitchen, with its up-to
date equipment is the pride of every
home-maker who Is fortunate enough
to possess one; but the real genius
in cookery delights to overcome diff
culties and make do" with few tools
to work with. Did you ever see q
camper open a sack of -four, pour in
the water, add the salt, soda or ba,
king powder, stir up the dough with
wooden paddle made with a jack
knife, and bake the dough before the
fire with never a dish or utensil to
use In It's making? When we are
J roughing it, It is what we can do with
out and make less baggage that is the
! main thought.
/ The manufacturer Is constantly on
the watch to see where time and ma
J terial as we'll as the energy Of his
workmen may be saved. When our
housekeepers put thought and plan
ming on their work, saving steps for
themselves and their employees, we
will have less servant problems to
| solve.
To make short cuts in housekeep-
| ing doesn't mean that work Is slight
ed or half done. Housekeeping is
! business, q profession, and women
are too prone to follow the ways of
their mothers before them, hence the
disordered, unsystematic condition
prevails.
In the business of housekeeping 1t
Is just as true that the greatest ef-
ficiency is the result Of scientific man
agement as In any other line Of work.
One Of the first things that house
wife who directs others has to learn,
is how and what has to be done, and
the time 1t takes for a person of or
binary ability to do It.
The unreasonable demands of some
mistresses, who expect and demand
the impossible, are legion. A skilled
worker can, and does, accomplish
much more in a given time than one
who puts no thought into her work.
But skilled workers are scarce and
many are in training In our homes.
The arrangement of the utensils
used In cooking within the easiest
possible reach, the saving Of steps by
aslng a tray to remove and carry in
dishes and food to and from the table.
in these as well as many others
with little study one may see many
shortcuts.
