UNCLE SAM ADOPTS @BABY"
Tiny Mail Sack Originating In Chi
caqo Already Saves $4,000
sa for Government.

!. Chicago, Il.-Chicago has a new
ababy." It was born In the p%ostoface
and has been adopted by Uncle Sam.
It weighs only one pound. but as a
typical Chicago "doer" it is as big as
a mastodon. Already 1t has saved
its great foster parents a half mil
lion dollars and It is less than q
month old.
/. The new creation is a small mail
sack, the baby Of the bag department
of the United States mail. 1t was
created from the needs Of the great
mercantile and publication concerns
sending out vast quantities Of mail.
Some time ago the department ruled
that in order to handle such matter
more expeditiously the publishers
must route 1t.
It further was ordered.that the mat
ter be tied in bundles and then put
into United States mail sacks Of the
various sizes furnished by the govern
ment. In one of these tiny sacks as
many as 800 pieces of small mail may
be bagged. In a label holder is slip
phr a narrow card bearing the name Of
the postof1ce destination, whether 1t
BE st. Louis or the Philippines. Uncle
Sam has ordered $4,000 of the bags.

The oldest investment security on

years ago the great ,Babylonian bank

Z, A very pleasant prediction has been
made by a college sociologist that the
United States is due for "a in 1880
and that this nation will be in the
wrong, as probably by reason of Its
wealth and importance. it will have
become an international bully. He
bases this assertion on the evidence
Of history. But to Offset this are the
facts that the direct rule of the people
is becoming more and mor the ma
tional ideal of government. and that
with the people as a whole vitality In
control. the peace sentiment will be
stronger than ever. It is upon the
Masses. not the classes. that the hor-
rors Of war chiefly fall. and the ele-
ment of selfinterest will then be more
engaged in the preservation Of peace
than ever before in the history Of the
world. In the meantime. potential
academic wars need not seriously at
feet the national peace Of mind.

They've always got me engaged to

Dorothy Williams is already very

"The man who does win her will be

my name should have been coupled
with hers instead of with some one

LEAP YEAR

It was scarcely to be assumed that
the old-time fancy about leap year
affording a special opportunity to UNI
married women to take the initiative
in matrimonial affairs would be. taken
seriously by anyone in this twentieth
century and in this present year 1912.
But It appears that at least one New
York newspaper man thought it
worth while to interview some woman
o. the subject, and he selected Miss
Sylvia Pankhurst. He got his inter
view all right, and Miss P~ankhurst's
remarks will find a very general re-
Spouse among the Independent, self
contained and self-respecting young
women, Of America, says the Manhat-
tan Union. "Is leap year Of any use

Indignantly: "Of course not! The idea
6neproposing to a man never entered
my head. l have other and more i'm
portant things to think of. You ask
me a silly and personal question. The
only people who think anything OF
leap year and the chance Of girls TAX
ing the initiative and making propos-
ais Of marriage are men Women
don't think of such. things for a min
ute" That settles 1t, and If there is
any proposing to be done the men
will have to do it. leap year or nj leap

Negro Boy Baptized In Hospital Ward

This event stirred the prisoners. All

NONSENSE.

Why should any aviator at this
stage talk flying across the Atlantic
in 30 or any number Of hours? II he
feels impelled to try a 3,000.mile flight
in q dirigible or an aeroplane. why
does he not turn westward, where
there is plenty Of solid earth to land
on? There may be men somewhat
foolhardy enough to attempt the flight
from Newfoundland to Ireland. 1t 10
a sure and easy way Of achieving pass
ing notoriety and incidentally Of com.
hitting suicide by drowning. says the
New York World. There will be time
enough to talk of crossing the cean
in an aeroplane when this continent
has been traversed by air without
alighting. Back of this nonsense
about flying across the Atlantic is the
misfortune that the business Of avia-
ton has fallen 80 largely into the
hands of showmen. They are interest
ed chiefly in doing stunts" for the
sake of the advertising and future
gate receipts. 1t is becoming a ques.
ton whether practical advances will
be made in the science Of aviation In
this country except the government
take 1t up seriously for military pur.
poses. as has been done in France.

Maternity hospital records in Boston
show that while boy babies born there
maintain the average height and
weight, girl babies are becoming taller
at birth and increasing in vitality. The
statistics do violence to certain &C.
cepted notiens Of race degeneration
due to women's alleged neglect Of the
home for outside interests. whether
serious or frivolous. They have been
charged with abandoning their Sacred
mission" for public life or for pleasure
and Of menacing the country's future
by their devotion to activities antag-
onistic to maternity. Yet neither their
addiction to bridge parties and hobble
skirts nor their pursuit Of Careers"
nor yet whether they smoke cigarettes
and occupy themselves with club at
fairs, appears to have made any diff
terence. They have gone on their way
regardless, in spite Of reproof and ad-
monition, and point to their healthier
and heartier children in proof Of their
better understanding of what is good
for them. The fact will afford small
comfort to the reformers who have
made woman's dereliction Of domestic
duties their grave concern But the in
creasing size and vitality of girl ba.
bies may we'll excite masculine fore
bOdings.
