PoIygIot Chicago.

The introduction of Polish as a
course in the public schools of Chi
cago, by Superintendent Ella Flagg
Young, is an interesting experiment,
though some may regard 1t as rash
one. There is tendency among chill
dren Of foreign parentage to drop
their native language, while 1t would
no doubt add to the general culture
of the rising generation in our large
cities II they would retain it along
with the prescribed studies. If the ex-
pertinent Is successful, Mrs. Young
proposes to follow It up with other
languages. There are perhaps 100000
Poles in the city, but there are IA
tongues, each of which is spoken by
more than 10000 persons. Newspa-
pers appear in ten languages and
church services are held in twenty.
In all there are forty different Ian
guares Of dialects employed to express
the thoughts, needs and emotions of
the population. Chicago is the second
largest Bohemian city in the world,
the third Swedish, the fourth Norwe-
gian, the fifth Polish and the fifth
German. If all these are to be in
structed in their national language
and literature the city will eventually
need an Elihu Burritt or a George
F. Marsh to direct its educational &C.

JOKE ON POLICE SERGEANT
Thought He Had officer Trapped In
Undertaker's Shop When Pinocle
Game Was On.

"Here's the best joke I ever heard
on sergeant" said high official in
the police department. "He was go.
| ing the rounds when he saw a police
man whom we'll call Mullaney go into
an undertaker's shop where there is
generally a pinocle game in the back
room. He knew there was no back
way out for Mullaney, so rounds
planted himself at the door and
waited.
After a time he sent in word by
one Of the men working in the shop
that he knew Mullaney was in there
and that he had better come back on
post, because the longer he waited
the worse the complaint against him
would read.
There was much commotion in the
back room, and as there were a num-
Der Of collins being loaded on a wagon
outside they put Mullaney in a coffin
and loaded him on the wagon. They
drove him down the street a couple
Of blocks and Mullaney climbed out.
He 'strolled back up to where the SER
geant was doggedly watching the
door and saluted.
Hello, rounds, pleasant evening,
isn't 1T? he said, and the sergeant
stared for moment and then stamp
ed away too mad to speak!"-New

BEST ATTITUDE FOR SLEEP
French Physician Says Position Which
Ono Finds Most Comfortable
Is Best.

AS practically everyone Is more or
ess addicted to the habit of sleeping,
The question of the best and most
healthful attitude during slumber is Of
general Importance. There Is an an
cient and widespread idea that to
sleep nthe left side interferes with
the heart action and Is consequently
injurious and that to sleep on the
back develops the inclination to snore.
Modern authorities are not at all
agreed on the matter, however, one Of
the greatest heart specialists declar-
Ing that 1t Is quite immaterial whether
person sleeps on the right or left
side, while another equally famous
doctor asserts emphatically that one
should always lie on the right side IL
heart trouble and indigestion is to be
avoided. Eliminating the question Of
snoring-a habit quite possible to
break ones self of-there is little
doubt that the most restful position,
when once a person has become ac-
customed to 1t, is fiat upon the back,
using no pillow, and with the arms
above the head. This straightens
dropping shoulders and gives the lungs
full play.
However, this is matter in which
one may do as one pleases, and have
good authority therefor, as very dis
tinguished French physician has dis
missed the subject by saying that the
best position for sleeping is that which
q person finds most comfortable.

THEY'RE ALL GLAD OF 1T.
James B. Hogarth has been sep
arated from his job with the Chi
cago Railways Co.
Hogarth was made general SUI
perintendent of the company in
order to cut expenses.
He certainly did cut expenses.
He also cut the bread from the
mouths of many conductors and
motormen. He also imposed a,
system of rules and regulations
all in the interests of economy
that made life a burden to the
company's employees.
So obnoxious did Hogarth's
general experimenting become
that the conductors and motor
mems union threatened a strike
unless he were removed.
President Roach then "remov-
ed" Hogarth. But he didn't re-
move him far. He changed his
title from general superintendent
to "statistician," and Hogarth
went on general experimenting
and trying to get revenge on the
union men who had declared
against him.
He got. a good deal of revenge.
He got John Fitzgerald, Peter
Needham, Henry L. Beach, divis-
ion superintendent. and c. A.
Livingston, assistant to President
Roach, fired.
Fitzgerald had been with the

So these men of long and faith
full service, who had dared take
the side of the unions against Ho-
garth's czarism, were fired.
And then President Roach got
busy. He discovered where he

so Hogarth is without a job to-

ANOTHER TANCLE FOUND IN THE INDIANA
REGISTRATION STATUTE BY |, s. BOWMAN

From an Interpretation of the regis
tration law passed by the 1911 Gener-
al Assembly given County Auditor
Bowman, by Attorney-General Honan.
it is apparent that a large number of
voters in this city and cities through
out the state, as we'll, will either be
obliged to state the place and date of
the naturalization of their father or
will be obliged to become naturanzed
before they will be able to vote at the
fall election.
The question now bothering Wayne
county Republicans and Democrats ia
in regard to the section of the regis
tration act which declares that a for
eign born applicant for registration.
May 9, shall state whether he has been
naturalized under the laws of the
United States and If so when and
where naturalized, and also in case
their father took out naturalization pa
pers on reaching this country, or if
they (the voters in question: did not,
merely vote under the old law which
reads The child of a person who has
been duly naturalized under any law
of the United States being under age
of p years at the time of the naturali-
cation of the parent, shall be consid-
cred a citizen of this country"
1t now appears that in case foreign
born child was brought to this country
by his father when the former was
under age and the latter was natural
lied, and who has been voting for a
number of years, must now state the
place and date where the parent was
naturalized or he shall not be entitled
TO vote unless he himself takes out pa
