REAL CRIPPLES PROTEST
AGAINST PARIS FAKERS.

Leon Bourgeois, French minister of
labor, received an unusual deputation
in Paris, consisting of Francois Resin,
the one-legged founder of the Associa-
ton Of French Cripples, and Emile
Sauvegrain, the blind ex-president of
the Blind Mems Association of Rheims.
The delegates presented a petition on
behalf OF the one-legged, bandy-legged,
one-armed, blind, humpbacked and par
alyzed citizens of France, praying for
the suppression of all sham cripples,
whose competition makes life difficult
for the genuinely afflicted. The asso-
citation suggests that every MANNED in
dividual, who seeks to carr a living by
peddling or by charity, should be COM
PEELED to take out an Identification card.
President Resin is an indefatigable
globe trotter and has covered more
than 5000 miles in France and 800 in
Algeria, giving lectures in towns and
villages in which he shows up the
tricks of sham %cripples, who he de-
clares number so per cent of the
brotherhood.
The statutes of the cripples syndi-
cate provide that every member nus
remain a French citizen, that the mem
bers must not sing or recite any song
or monologue against the government
of the republic and that 1t is the duty
of a member who finds himself in any
town where a sham cripple is at work
to warn the authorities.

USES OF Potato IN GERMANY.

In Germany the potato Is utilized for
a number of different PURPOSES. To
avert decay, lessen bulk and cost of
transportation. and to furnish an inn
proved food for man and beast, some
%, 900 bushels are annually dessi-
Gated by the drum process. The po-
tatoes are cleaned, steamed and pared
and passed between great hollow rolls
heated by steam, on which the mashed
potato forms In a dry flake, which is
automatically scraped off, and looks
very much like u corn flakes" 1t
is a substitute for the raw vegetable,
is ground into flour and used in bread
making and as a cereal food.
In Germany it costs about s1.S0 per
ton to reduce potatoes to o~ne-fourth
their original weight. Most Of the
product is stored as winter feed for
all kinds Of live stock. having about
the same feeding value as corn. In
many localities distant from favorable
markets the po-tato-grower is now able
to IA his more profitable cereals for
family use and for the market and to
store dried potatoes for his stock

TELLS HOW BILLS
PASS IN CONGRESS
Vice-President Says There We're
$4,000 of Them in Last
Session.

In an article in the Woman's Home
Companion, entitled How Laws Are
Made the Vice-President of the
United states, James S. Sherman, tells
exactly how the mechanism of legisla-
ton works at Washington. He goes
on to say that in the last session OF
Congress $4,000 bills we're introduced.
Were Congress in session 300 days a
year and working eight hou a day, IL
could devote only half an hour to each
of these Where the average
annual session is five months, and Con-
gress sits less Than five hours a day,
each bill could receive only eight min
utes' consideration. The major part
of this mass of bills is of a private ma
ture, relating to pensions and claims
against the government, out there are
thousands of measures pertaining to
general subjects, such as the tariff and
other important matters.
1t is obvious that this immense mum
Der Of bills cannot be considered indi-
vidually. MI. Sherman says:
1T is in committee that most of the
real work of lawmaking Is done. De-
bate as a rule has little effect upon the
fate of a measure. 1t Is largely the
froth of legislation; the substance is
the work performed by the committee
which has the particular matter in
charge. On political questions MEM
bers vote their party convictions, or
are supposed to do so, while upon other
and non-political matters, or those
which have no partisan significance,
they almost always follow the recon-
mendations of the committees. Varia-
ton from this practise is the exception
and not the rule.
I'm the early days Of our republic a
member arose in his place and formally
introduced his bill, which was read by
title and Appropriately referred to COM
mittee. 1t was found, h, viewer, that
his practise consumed a great amount
of time and accomplished no good pur-
pose, and years ago 1t was abolished.
Now when a member of the House
wishes to introduce a bill he walks to
the clerks desk at the dais, and drops
it into a basket provided for that pur-
pose, or he calls a page to do 1t for
him. In the course of his routine busi-
ness the bill clerk records it, and it is
automatically referred to the proper
committee. AS a matter of record the
speaker refers the bill to its committee,
but in actual practise ills reference
is made by the clerk t the speakers
table, who is unoficially known as the
parliamentarian of the House"

"a Modern Eve" is a typical musical
comedy.
With all the merits and the faults
of that class of theatrical production.
But the merits are individual.
And the faults merely of its class
So that the balance swings very
much toward the former and the latter
are negligible because they are inner
ent to this form of theatres.
"A Modern Eve" in short, is full OF
vivacity, swing, color and admirably
managed stage mechanics.
Its songs and action dovetail into
each other as fluidly as the water the
shore-line and its seeming incoherence
which is that of the hodge-podge
known as musical comedy"-has we'll
directed method in its apparent theat-
rio madness.
The story is of what is sometimes
vaguely termed a strong minded" wo-
man, interpreted by George Drew
Mendum, her hen-pecked husband,
taken by Frank Deshon, her two
daughters whom she has educated one
to be a portrait painter, the other a
doctor, their lovers and and one or
two others, and this gives legitimate
medium for some clever and amusing
burlesque which the principals make
much of.
Miss Mendum is an excellent COM
edienne and compliments Mr.. Deshon
with theatric eclat and displays her
talents and acumen in so doing, for
Deshon is of that type of comedy play
err who dominates through personality
and intent. Deshon, in fact, was ex-
cessively diverting in his role and
elected many testimonials of apprecia-
ton from his audience.

ing among the hits of the evening.
Miss Maude Potter, however, as the
girl doctor and Mr.. Frederic Santley,
as Justin" the lover of her sister,

dancing duos. Miss Potter is one of
the most exquisite dancers seen here

more celebrated for their terpsichor-
can accomplishments.
The chorus was we'll gowned and
long on physique if somewhat short in
facial fascination, but their ensemble
dancing numbers were given with dash
and one or two of them in solo dances
were effective.
Miss Lee tombstone, as the Baron
ess," a siren-adventuress, was the
beauty of the aggregation, was pos
sessed of histrionic talents and wore
some stunning gear.
OF the songs, Goodbye Everybody
was, perhaps, the most alluringly done,
although they all went off with the au-
dience.
"A Modern Eve" in short, was one
of the best things of it's sort seen here
lately.

for the sake of the public, the Merry

Many Xmas Toys.
AS Christmas is primarily holiday
for the children, a survey of the toys
on display here is fraught with more
than passing interest On sees fearful
and fuzzy looking creatures with
woody hides which, when squeezed
emit sounds like mutterings and
growlings of the denizens of the jun
gle, screams of birds and war whoops
of wild Indians.
Most of the beasts would defy class
ifcation, but they have jolly fat bod
les and bullying eyes and brilliant-hued
colorings. One need not be surprised
to see a vermillion bear, a violet pur-
pie dog, an emerald cat, a pink pig,
violet elephant, a bright pumpkin,
yellow alligator, or a pale blue Loop
ard or tiger.
Some HiIariousIy Funny.
All are in CHEEKY colors and some of
them have expressions of blandness,
some look fierce with grinning mouths,
showing Rooseveltian expanses of
teeth, others look hilariously funny.
Many of these toys are washable and
the paint will not come off. The prices
of some are quite high. Others are
very cheap.
The Juneau babies are wonderful
dolls and so are the Schoenhut wood
babies. These miniature people come
in all ages and conditions of life, the
grandmother with cap and tiny spec
tacles, the mother, the young dandy
and debutante and the infant in long
clothes. There are trunks with hat
trays, carriages and houses complete
with furnishings, or the furniture may
be bought separately.
