PRAISES SLIT SKIRT

San Francisco, CAL, Sept. a.
Harry O'Neill, city hall janitor, is a
strong believer in the slit, the hobble
and in fact any kind of skirts except
those which have sweeping trains.
Q'Neill claims that skirts with a train
drag $50 pounds of dust into the city
hall daily.

.-$l5 per year for two-party line
telephones.
SO per year for four-party. line
telephones.
Then two cents per call instead of
five cents. This would let the small
users (who now keep the telephone
as an emergency service and perforce
limit their use to one or two calls a
day. have more service for what they
pay. Traffic figures show that on the
whole we are getting less than one
half the amount of service per tele-
phone in 1913 than we got in 1902.
In 1902 it was LA calls per day
per telephone, and in 1913 it is about
5.4, but 70 per cent of the phones
only average slightly over two calls
per day, while about 80 per cent aver
age over 35 calls per day, so that we
knew these to be paid for largely by
the two-caH users.
Mr. Bemis could have taken the
company's own appraisal, expenses,
etc, and have done a better job than
he did. Suppose we just take the
company's word for it that they have
6O0,OOO,OOO calls per year. That at
two cents per call means $12,000,000
income, or about 100000 over
their expenses last year, so even with
no base rate charge whatever they
would have more money than they
get now.
Don't you see, it is only matter of
equalization, of horse sense. of equity
applied to one of our great utilities.
What a favorable light would the
telephone company put itself in with
the public if it should offer to make
this change without being forced, as
it has been in almost every case
where anything for the public bene-
fit has been done?

gal' would have to do without her lux urious cape.
 The money being paid, the new master undaunted by jeers of the pop ulace and occasional apple cores, shouldered his blonde beauty and bore her home.
 Once within the laundry precincts, Wing placed the beauty on a wash tub and arranged her gown In correct folds. It took him full half hour be- lore he was satisfied with the result Then he lighted some joss sticks and placed them so that she should be en- vefoped in the perfumed smoke. He next offered her plate of rice and sooy, but the tilted nose refused to sniff Its appetizing aroma.
 Alas. that the fates should be so cruel to lovers. A sharp ring at the telephone interrupted this amorous soliloquy. To Wings reluctant re- sponse an irate customer demanded his washing and threatened the law.
 Wing shouldered heavy basket and stole out into the night.
 An hour passed. The Melican gal still crowns the wash tub with stat uesQue grace. Then a visiting rat spreads the tale that the beauty Is be- coming animate. True 1t certainly is that the smiling rosy mouth has begun to pout. An ugly wrinkle. too, has appeared above the smooth brow and as the moments pass the tapering fin- gers stretch and grow weirdly long "Pling," the rats scamper as one azure orb smashes on the floor. Tears of wax run down the once tilted nose and ruin the tailor-made. A second eye follows. The hands melt away and disclose their props of wood. Brow, cheeks and nose have become one shapeless mass-then the laundry door opens and in slips Wing.
 Emotion is not according to the code of Confucius. so our celestial lover neither wept nor tore his hair. He looked-and closed the damper of the stove. Then again, this time without the lingering glance, he locked the laundry door behind him and stole out into the night.

Some time ago 1 was talking with a travelling salesman whose home is in a town of some 4.00O population, and whose wife had just made shopping trip to a large city a little more than a hundred miles away.
 Besides a number of minor purchases, made, as she put it,
 just while she was there," she had exhibited to him on her re- turn a handsome suit, the pri> mary object of her visit to the city, and which she proudly as serted had cost her only $35.
 Taking pencil and paper he called for her other expenses; railroad fare for herself, one child and nurse, $17; hotel bill, SIP; carriage and car fare, 2.50; other expenses, S5-a total incl. dental expense of $36.5O, making the suit cost, in fact, S71.50 Her astonishment at the actual cost of the suit was only equalled by her:fchargin, but a moment later, with a shrug of the should. CTS, she asked, What else is a body to do?"
 Commenting on the incident the gentleman said to me:

had been told that Mrs. Reef was asked to view the bodies of the two girls, and might be able to give the police some information. Hennesy Is to be questioned to learn whether he can identify Spencer as a guest at the Florence hotel who fled at about the time several diamond rin~s were stolen from guests rooms. Witnesses are en route to Chicago from Fox Lake, H., where Spencer swears he killed man and woman, to see if he can be identified as fre- quenter of amusement resorts there. Spencer Put in Solitary.
 Spencer was given the lonely" treatment in the hope that he might break down and indicate to detectives just how many of the crimes on his long death list he actually committed.
 Spencer was led into the dun geon," a lonely cell at detective head quarters, and told that he would be left to himself until he was ready to tell the truth.
 Capt Halpin still clings to the the ory that the opium fend really killed several women beside the Chicago dancing instructor, and summoned several persons to police headquar- ters to see if they could identify Spencer and establish his connection with any recent Chicago murders.
 Police "combed" the black belt for the negro who, they believed, killed Miss Ida Leegson, an art student, and arrested three men. but all were released
 The pawnbroker with whom the young sculptors watch had been pawned said that neither of them was the man who took the watch into his shop.
 Miss Leegson was killed in bar ren tract of ground on the south side of the city, after having been lured by a telephone message saying that employment as a nurse waited her there

T do not see why some of our local merchants doesn't stock these standard things that wo- men are going to have and stop their going to the city for them; they not only lose that particular class of trade, but these city shoppers always buy a lot of other stuff that could be bought at home.
 In many of the smaller towns that 1 visit 1 see in the show win dovs the same brands of we'll known goods that 1 see in the city windows, and as we'll dis played; and these enterprising merchants tell me that they are lessening considerably the city shopping of their citiz ens."

 She was standing behind the plate glass of department store. A robe of azure gauge, price marked $S95, swathed her slender form and a polo hat of violets sat well forward above her golden Marcel" Her cheeks mantled with the blush of maidenhood were luscious as ripe pomegranates and her round eyes, which in color matched the $S.95, grew lashes as long as painters brush.
 Wing saw and was conquered. Trail Ing his basket he approached the win dow, admiration expanding his fea- lures into grin. Fixed as the pago- das of Nankin he stood before this daughter of the gods and drank his fill of her loveliness.
 Late that evening he returned to his laundry. Next afternoon he feigned sickness and hurried off to State street, where his idol awaited him.
 A week of such devotion and Wing summed up his cash on hand-eight, nine, ten dollars and 40 cents. He dressed himself in Sunday clothes, rolled his pigtail into tight knot and set out for the department store. where she was enslaved.

Alas, when the price was named, including dress. hat and girl, in toto, Wings counte- nance fell. He shook his head and de- parted with the visage of a stoic.
 Behind the ironing board came more calculations and Wing began to work overtime.
