Convention Of Women's TalIors Votes
for Marrow Skirts

New York.-Woman's skirts are to
be tighter than ever around the bot
tom, but looser at the top. They will
have an eight-inch slit in front to exc
out their inches of width. Notwith-
standing their scantiness. they will be
elaborately draped. A stitched turned
up cuff. like those on mans trousers.
will finish the skirts around the bot
tom.
Thirty-four states were represented
by the delegates. and 22. led by New
York and Massachusetts, stood firm
for narrow skirts.
Along with the exceedingly narrow
skirt comes OF necessity the slit. but
elaborate draping and easing over the
hips win make sitting down possi-
bility, since the skirt will be prevented
from pulling up In front.

Several Candidates Shov Big
Gains During Week
D.T.Mansker Makes the Largest Gain
Winning First Weekly Prize


nounced this great contest fol
a beautiful Mcintyre 8 pas.
senger touring car to be given
away.
The number Of candidates is
representative Of all districts
covered and the list will be
found to embrace some very
active and wide.awake people
in the territory where these
prominent firms are so we'll
known.
The full force and scope OF
the contest has become thor
oughly understood without ex.
ception. Enthusiasm has in
creased in all sections OF the
districts covered. The prizes
are so desirable and the op-
portunity for winning so good
that each day witnesses greater
efforts by people who properly
appreciate this magnificent
offer. Activity is evidenced not
only among candidates but
among their friends as well.
These friends have thrown
themselves into the race in the
most unselfish spirit and are
doing their most to secure
votes for their favorites.
They appreciate that there
is nothing small about such a
contest as this, and that it is
a mammoth project and will
be conducted along such lines.
There is no guesswork about
it. The prize is on hand. Ev-
eryone knows just exactly what
they are going to win. Thev
know that results for their fav-
orite depend largely on them
and that a little emery on
their part will go far toward
making their friend a winner.
The Argus wishes to empha-
size, however, that there is no
use dallying with the prop
osition. There is no instant
force and energy save in the
present moment, and planning
will win nothing You must
start. The earlier you start the
better opportunities. The less
the opposition which will be
encountered. Candidates will
find many people who always
"intended" to subscribe for the
Argus or were 'just going to
buy at these business firm S.
Candidates should 60 out and
clinch resolutions and friends OF
the candidate should not delay
to execute their good intentions.

One of the first acts Of the Public
Service Commission was to violate
the eight hour law passed for the
benefit of the meter readers and other
workers under their direction, but the
latter resented the tyranny and will
ignore their impudent command to
work nine hours for day. Officials
who are brought to power by corrupt
wealth are great LAYERS of the law,

STRENGTHEN THE LAW.

The prison sentences and fines
which a Brooklyn druggist and lis
brother. a dentist. received for Illegal
sales Of cocaine Of large volume were
severe, hut properly so. II was urged
in their behalf by brother professional
men that this punishment would mean
their ruin. These kind hearted persons
probably lost sight Of the fact that the
Illicit trade in cocaine which their
sales foStered results in the physical.
mental and moral ruin of scores OF
men and women. even boys and girls.
And these offenders were not ordinary
dealers in the drug-they did business
on a great scale. Judge Niemann was
right in holding that theirs was no
case for mercy. but for drastic action,
which should represent adequately the
extent to which they had offended
against society and serve AZ a plain
warning to others who might be
tempted by love Of gain to follow their
example in lawbrcaking.

The proposals which are coming

the deadliest Of the tribe. are not cX
travagant. but are we'll warranted by
the known facts concerning that mis-
chievOus insect. Much has been said
of late Of the fly's pernicious activity
as q carrier Of disease germs. hut 1.-THE
half has not been told" 1t has been
scientifically demonstrated that the fly
is able to convey not merely the germs
Of typhoid and infantile cholera. but
also those Of Asiatic cholera. diphthe-
ria. anthrax. tuberculosis and other
deadly maladies. and that ii is able
TO keep these germs alive and lethal
in its system for many days after ac-
quiring them.
In the case of typhoid fever. it has
repeatedly been shown that there is
an exact correspondence between the
prevalence of flies and the prevalence
of the fever in epidemicS. Still more
marked is that correspondence in me
case Of ipfantile diarrhGa. disease
occurring only in fytime and almost
invariably increasing and decreasing
as the number Of flies increases AMI
decreases. Similar circumstances have
been observed. particularly in Austria
liza. in relation 10 other enteric disor-
ders. There is no room for reasonable
doubt therefore. that flies are largely
responsible for the spread OF these
diseases, though. Of course. not as ex-
clusively as mosquitoes are for tie
prevalence and. indeed. for the very
existence Of malaria" and yellow
fever.
The appalling rate at which flies null
tiply is almost beyond the c0mpreheh-
sion Of the ordinary mind. \ female fly
lays 120 eggs al Il time. and produces
four broOds In twenty days from
the laying of the egg the young fly mag
he ready itself 10 lay brood. Thus
the possible progeny Of single hy
from April TO September has been u.s.
timated at ten raised 10 the thirteenth
power. or ten trillions. 1t is calculated
by our Agricultural Department Ut
Washington that in forty days a single
fly may produce 500 pounds weight Ct
descendants. Such figures give start
ling yerisimiltude to the Biblical story
OF the Egyptian plague Of flies. Of
course, there is no general propagation
Of the insects at that rate here, hut
their multiplication is sufficient TO fur
