so much easier" said the Eng

housewife on whom she was cali

"My dear" replied the New
Yorker, eff you are thinking of
engaging help, 1 would earnestly
advise you never to intimate that
any of the help that comes to
you is not lady help. If there is
any city on the globe that is short
on good servants and long on lady
help, l am sure it is New York"
The Englishwoman laughed. 81

said, land l quite understand

1.-The kind of lady help we have
is a blessing. 1t lifts the burden
of housekeeping fairly off ones
shoulders. Girls of refinement in
straitened circumstances go in for
it. They prepare by attending a
domestic science school. When
they come to you with their di-

duties for which they offer their
services.

The Probabilities

Postmaster General Hitchcock wants to know to what extent we will
probably use the new parcels post, after Jan. l.
Well, Hitch, we don't know within a mile of what you will probably dis
cover by experience. We do know, however, that if W al reciprocate for
the skinning that the express companies have been giving is, W e are surely
going to do it. For the sake of seeing how good it feels not to be robbed,
we're going to mail a lot of stuff that we have been eating ourselves, or feed
ing to the hens. We are going to be more generous, charitable and useful,
and, Hitch, when such opportunity comes, it's just useless to try to post you
on the probabilities.

Watch Our Smoke

During 1912, Uncle Sam will beat his record with a four-bilion dollar
foreign trade Imports will be Approximately $1,8OOOoOOO, and exports
$2,2O0O00O0O.
This is very fine, but, with these figures, the bureau of foreign commerce
sends out some information that strikes us as being finer. The Atlantic
coast gets the lions share of foreign trade, but by far the larger percentage
of gain is in the northern border and the Pacific coast ports, to which, of
course, the great Middle West contributes.
Wait until the great western part of Or country gets the benefit of the
Panama canal and becomes known to the thousands of people who ire going
to visit the coast exposhions! Westward the good things are flowing, includ-
ing freedom of woman.

Not For Uncle

Same old American Mining Association is in annual sesion-this time at
Spokane-with the same old yell. And we call it a fine sample of wasted
energy.
1t seems impossible to teach this association, and some others, that the
natural resources belonging to all the people are lot going to be handed over
to the real estate agents, corporation agents and political lobbyists of the
states.
We must mistake the temper Of the times if Uncle Sam does not take
and use what is his as never before, during this decade.

The Deadly Game

Deaths harvest from the football season of 1912 stem. Ten young men
full of vgor, hope and promise were suddenly cut Off Ten mothers who sui
fered, prayed, worked and hoped for these boys through the years are in
mourning their boys lost to them through all this life.
There is n game invented by maj worth such a price. And football
need not be a murderOus game. But, like boxing, ut OH the blood and there
aren't so many paid adn%ionsa at the gate.
Ten dead and 60 injured, o of the latter crippled for life. That's
the 1912 crop prompted by public educators and foolish parents. When such
will not conserve the lives of our youth, the laws should step in and do it.

HELD FOR RINGING
FALSE FIRE ALARM
James caputo Identified by
Two Small Boys-Severe
Penalty Sought.

James Ccputo, "a years old. of u
Drift street. was held in $1,000 bail
today by Judge Hahn in the First
Criminal Court for examination to-
morrow on the charge of ringing a
false fire alarm.
Caputo was positively identified by
two small boys as the man who pulled
box 325, at Clinton and Beaver
streets, Sunday evening, and who, in
his dash to make getaway, knocked
a man down. The fire apparatus re-
sponded and Captain William J..
Fisher, who vas acting battalion
chief, started a search for the culprit,
and was led by several small boys to
the place where Caputo was employed.
The man was not there, but later in
the night he responded to an order to
appear at the engine-house.
While the Identification was posi-
lively made Judge Hahn postponed
disposing Of the case to permit sew
eral other witnesses who were unable
to appear today to testify.
In speaking of the case an official
of the fire department said to a re-
porter for the Evening Star.
1.-THE seriousness of this offense is
not fully appreciated, and usually the
cases are dealt with too lightly by the
courts. When an alarm of fire comes
in the single thought of the members
of the department is to save life and
property, and we cannot reach the
scene quick enough.

we have to. every man of the COM
panies takes his life in his hands

morrow. Letters from cranks and
others are always intercepted by his
secretary. the governor declared.
During his stay in Bermuda the
Governor declared that he had an
swered approximately 700 letters.
These. he said were more or less OF
a personal nature. Asked whether
he had not received any requests for
Jobs he replied that the post had
brought thousands of this nature
which he had not the time nor the
inclinations to answer. They are ar
ranged neatly in piles of several hum
dred each, he said. From his atti-
tude it was taken that they would re-
main in their respective piles for a
long while to come.

Shortly after the ship had docked

grasping him by the hand, said:
IT am the pilot that brought this
ship up the bay, and I am glad to be
able to report that we had not the
slightest mishap. I hope that you are
well and wish that you win have a
successful administration"
"You are to be congratulated on
your skill.' replied the Governor,
"and I thank you very much for
wishing me well.'
The pilot, who said his name was
David Behrens, declared that he had
