GAGS FOR COLLEGIANS
Murphy Takes Out S15O,OOO on Evers,
Parade.

Washington, Feb. Gags for COL
lege boys on inauguration day may be
provided by the intercollegiate COM
mlttee of the inauguration manage
ment, for it has issued warning that
there must be no college yells in the
procession. Any attempt on the part
of the 10000 college youths to rough
house the parade, the committee de-
clares will be met with prompt and
effective repression. The members de-
clined today to say whether gags would
be used or policemen's clubs.
cit will be stopped all right said
one member of the committee. THE
parade is a serious function and any
attempts to make it other than a
decorous and impressive affair will be
quickly suppressed. We are making
all allowances for the exuberance of
the colegians, but they can't turkey
trot or bunny hug, or chicken flip, their
way down Pennsylvania avenue. And
there won't be any loud yelling, either"
Every institution of learning of any
prominence has been invited to send
their students to attend the Inaugural
ton. Princeton alone is expected to
have more than 1000 men in the line
of march.

formally declared their intention of
running for reelection. Rumor,
which expected the statements, was
confirmed today.
w. G. Tandy, commissioner of
streets and public improvements. who
has no opponent as yet, made his an
nouncement last night in the State
Journal. Roy Bone, commissioner of
finance, is also in the race. This
morning E. B. Stotts, park commits
sioner, and H. P. Miller, commissioner
of waterways and electric lights, de-
clared their candidacy.
w. Bolinger and Richard Wilson are
opposing Eugene Stotts, and Frank
Newland desires the office now held by
Mr.. Miller.
So far there are three candidates
for Mayor. B. Billiard, E. L. O'Neil
and Colonel J. w. F. Hughes. There
is a strong probability that r. L. Cot
ran and possibly John CLANCY will en-
ter the race.
The statement made by Commission
err Miller is as follows:
"I hereby announce my candidacy
for one more term as commissioner
of waterworks and street lighting.

TEXT BOOK BILL.
Up for Special Orders i'm House This
Afternoon.

That bill to provide for the publ
cation of school text books by the
state is under consideration in the
house this afternoon as special
order. With the original bill in the
house is being considered the meas
ure adopted in the senate. A resolu-
ton by Ragle of Montgomery calling
for the appointment of a commission
to investigate the printing cost and
to report their findings to the 1915
legislature is also a part of the spe-
cial order.
Last night the Democratic mem bers
of the house held a special caucus in
the assembly rooms of the utilities
commission and discussed this after
Moons order of business. AS the
proposition to print school text books
at the state printing plant is a strict
Democratic party measure, it is be-
lieved that practically the solid
Democratic following of IL house
members will vote for the passage of
the bill now on third reading.
Seventy-five Meriden high school
students are watching the legislative
session in Topeka this afternoon. They
will spend the greater portion of the
afternoon in the house, where the bill

WAR ON The STORK.
Labor Union Resolves in Favor OF
Cutting Down Birth Rate.

Wellington, New Zealand, Feb. T.
One of the strangest resolutions
passed by any republican body was
adopted at a general meeting of the
Christ Church labor union today when
the citizens of New Zealand were
urged to do all in their power to lessen
the birth rate.
Believing that compulsory defense
acts are a blot, on the record of a
civilized country, the union now asks
that the number of births of New
Zealanders be kept down so as to
lessen the number of youths who must
take the compulsory military train
ing. Union officials said it was hoped
the act would be repealed when the
resolution would be rescinded.

Two Small Fires Today.

Two alarms were rung in almost
simultaneously this noon at the fire
station. There is average of two
fires each day caused by SCOT alight-
ing on roofs. The first alarm came
from 901 Morris avenue, two story
frame house owned and occupied by
A. A. Winter. Flying SCOT ignited dry
shingles, resulting in damages of SIS.
The second fire was more serious.
1t rang in from the house owned by
Sam Wood and occupied by Mrs. Molly
Heaton. Damages are estimated at
$500 at least. The fire gained head
way before it was reached by the fire
company and the roof is completely
destroyed. The interior is damaged
by water although most of the furni-
ture was carried into the yard. Boy
Scouts came CALAMITY to the rescue,
and helped move the piano to the
lawn.

Vote Was 81 to 1.-TWO Little
JOkerS.

The senate reconsidered the initiati
and referendum resolution this after
noon and meekly passed by a vote of
81 to the measure they had coldly
rejected last week. The bill is prac-
tically the same that passed by the
house except in two particulars. These
might be called jokers. They provide
that an 1. and r. election may be held
only at a general election and that a
ma jority of votes cast for proposition
must be as large as the majority of
votes cast at the election for any NOM
inee. The ten per cent petition clause
remains the same.

WHOLESOME FIG RECIPES.

WHOLESOME FIG RECIPES.
While we have realized in a general
way the valuable properties of figs
when ill, it has only been recently
that we have discovered their value
in keeping US well. The fig is the
fruit of a small tree native of Asia,
Europe and extreme western and
southern parts of our own country.
This fruit whether freshly plucked or
dried is very nutritious and in parts
of the orient is often used as a sub
stitute for bread. 1t contains a large
proportion of grape sugar. Besides
their use in dessert, figs are largely
employed in cooking, candies, pud-
dings, preserves and as they are rea-
sonably cheap, wholesome and palat-
able, they should be frequently seen
on the table. When a child desires
candy, this sweet will satisfy and is
much better for him.
