A VACUUM ROAD CLEANER.

Delegates from municipalities in all
parts of Europe recently attended a
demonstration in London of new
system of road cleaning by patent
dustless motor vacuum road-cleaning
machine. The road cleaner has been
adopted, it is stated, by various for
eign municipalities. 1t consists of a
suction machine containing a stiff
brush which revolves at great speed
close to the ground, thus creating the
suction necessary to remove every
particle of DUST, mod or refuse in the
road over winch it passes. The refuse
is automatically deposited in COW
cred bin mt the back of the car, and
the suction is so great that mud is
WITHDRAWN from the crevices between
the stone blocks with which some
roads are laid. Some of the muddiest
parts of the city were used for the
purpose of showing the efficiency of
the machine. Paper, tickets and coins,
as well as dirt, were gathered up by
the road cleaner, leaving the surface
of the road absolutely clean.
This machine, in the opinion of the
municipal engineers from various
parts of England, is described as the
most perfect device for road-cleaning
purposes yet discovered.

START FIGHT AGAINST TIPPING

DENVER, Colo, June 13.-Aboli-
ton of the tipping evil through legis-
lation in every state in the nation
was urged here today at the opening
sessions of the two days convention
of the United Commercial Travellers
of America. Nearly two thousand
delegates with their families are in
attendance. There was no doubt to-
day that the resolution urging an
anti-tipping law will pass unanimous
ly. Other matters considered today
related to better travelling accommo-
dations and a closer affiliation between
the travellers association and the Ho-
tel Managers and Owners association,
in the interests of better accommo-

NO GREAT SHAKESPEARE EN-
THUSIASM.

Everybody admires the classics, 1t
has been said, and few read them.
Everybody is theoretically an enthu-
siastic Shakespearean, but the pro-
posal to establish national theater
as Shakespeare memorial is not
arouf;ng great enthusiasm in Britain.
One rich baronet subscribed $35O,OOO
some years ago, and now the total is
S462,O 900. 1t has cost $64, 200 to raise
about $4,000. An exhibition of
Shakespearean England proved a
source of loss.
Since the amount needed is esti-
mated at $2,5O0,0O0, and the Shake
speare tercentenary is only three
years off, the trustees Of the me-
mortal fund are uneasy. They doubt
neither the money can be raised by
subscription. An appeal to parliament
has been made, but the government
while sympathetic and ready to con-
tribute Kind words, does not see its
way ~ IluhiuB a hCdSy dPPiopA AosAS''
at the expense of taxpayers, many OF
whom never go to the theater because
they can't afford it or do not ap-
prove Of il. In England the states
attitude toward dramatic and operate
art is very different from that oi
the continent, where subsidies are
common.
Archer, Shaw and other advanced
critics are lecturing the wealthy Brit
ons ard drawing unfavorable COM
parisons with American philanthro-
pists. But the truth is, many ad-
mirers of the classical and the artistic
drama are not sure that a national
theater would promote progress ir
art. They fear it would become mar.
row, pedantic and reactionary, and
are asking what chance "heretical
modern plays would have in such ar
Institution.

WOMAN CAUSES DOWNFALL

thorities with having left trail of
cracked postoffice safes from San
Francisco to New York was SEN

STUDYING MEXICO AND THE
PHILIPPINES.

A special dispatch in our news col
umns states that William B. Hale, a
well known writer and correspondent,
has been sent to Mexico by President
Wilson to make careful study of
the situation there in all its aspects,
military and political. Doubtless Mr..
Hale's report will contribute to de-
termination of the question of rec
ognition of the Huerta government, In
behalf of which various claims are
made by disinterested Americans.
In the same way the president is
having an investigation made by a
personal commissioner" in the Philip
pine archipelago. The pledge of the
Wilson platform with reference to the
far-off possessions does not involve
any rash course of action that might
prove detrimental to the Filipinos.
The president wishes to know the
facts, and has sent a trusted and
vigorous-minded man to study the con-
ditions and report on the advisability
of comforting self-government on the
islanders.
The Mexican question is more ur-
gent than the Philippine one. II Huer-
ia is worthy Of recognition, and il
American denial of such recognition
encourages disorder and rebellion
perhaps making Intervention newt
able in the end-the administration
will not hesitate to modify its policy
somewhat. But it is proper and wise
for the president to insist on delay
pending investigation by agents Of
h's own choice, agents he knows and
trusts. Official reports may be ad-
in many vays. but-thsy srs

say: II wish to leave with these

front them in their future careers
that is, to find out why so many COL

fact that at 40 they have taken de-
grees in the university of experience.
