A Railroads PRESUMPTION

The Pennsylvania railroad wants
women to give up high heels and
hobble skirts, or, in fact, any sort of
tight skirt, no matter what fashion
may choose to call it. When large
and healthy corporation like the
Pennsylvania has wish, that wish
is usually granted. However, in this
case we see breakers ahead, at the
same time mixing our metaphor.
No matter how politely and courte-
ously a railway system or a trolley
car system let's its feminine patrons
understand that styles of clothes less
dangerous to their welfare while
travelling are greatly desired, women
go on risking their necks with calm
superiority worthy of better cause.
1t was but recently in Milwaukee,
if memory serves US right, that the
street car officials tried to put the
ban on high heels and hobble skirts,
prompted partly, no doubt, by an al
truistic motive and partly by a desire
to lessen the probable number Of dam
age suits. What was the result? The
wishes of the trolley company officials
were calmly ignored. Classically, the
situation remained in statu quo.
Now, a railroad has been known to
speak softly to a politician and per-
suade him to sell his very soul, but
even railroad is wasting time when
it seeks to modify women's apparel.

SPENDING FAMILY INCOME


Belle Squire, in Womans World for De-
cember.
1t will take but a few weeks of book
keeping attempts to prove that the wom-
ans task is no simple one. Many a
woman and many man has tried to keep
| track of expenditures and given it up in
despair, as not being worth the trouble.
THE money comes; the money goes;
that's all there is to it, Life is too short
for such grind" Such is the burden OF
their complaints.
The money income should be looked
upon as a bundle of funds, and each fund
| in turn should be looked upon a smaller
bundle of funds. The whole idea in keep
ing accounts of expenditures should be to
put like expenses together and to deter
=, mine their relative Importance with re-
gard to size and Importance 1t resolves
itself into a matter of proportion, good
taste and common sense.
To make it practical and useful the
character nature of each expenditure
must be anaiyzed. Perhaps this is the
income must buy all the things of life it
is difficult indeed to classify them. Shell
ter, food, clothes. service, these are easily
classified, but what of the thousand and
one things that make up life outside of
these primary wants, the things that
| make it agreeable? How shall the ex-
penses of family be classified, when
| there are so many different needs, so
many wants and individual tastes, such
varying ages?
Here, then, is where the use of the new
TOOL comes in. A crisis confronts the
modern home. The woman, especially,
must meet the situation that she may be
a worthy descendant of the mothers OF
the past who never flnched when duty
called

suits to be widespread, but it is safe
to say that within a year from now
the Underwood tariff bill will be the
most popular enacted into law since
the war.
If the interstate commerce COM
mission grants the petition of the
eastern carriers for a small increase
in freight rates, the sentimental as
well as the direct effect on the gen.
eral business of the country will be
strongly in evidence. The petition will
probably be granted, and that action
will be followed by a large buying
movement in the iron market. The
holiday season will soon be over, and
the business public will begin to look
forward with hope and confidence to
a new era of prosperity. This is a
great country indeed and that new
era certainly cannot be long delayed
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-11-30
City Retrench

Since Birmingham municipal eX-
penditures far outrun the city's reve-
nue. the commission has acted in a
business-like way in cutting salaries
and dispensing with the services of
such officials and employees as were
not absolutely necessary.
Official salaries here have not been
excessive, and general regret will be
felt that the cutting down process
had to be resorted to. The savings
effected will be only at the rate of
about $4,000 year, but in view of
the city's present embarrassed condi-
tion even this saving will count.
Any government to be thoroughly
efficient must have officials whose
services are worth as much as those
found in other fields of high class en-
ployment, but the time must come
when the city will get relief through
Legislation. The city tax rate is now
comparatively low, and that is what
has brought on the trouble. The com
missioners will ask for an increase
that will provide ample revenue.
When the commission finds Bir.
mingham's finances in good shape, OF
relief even in sight, the police force
should be, and doubtless will be, in.
creased to the numerical strength of
two years ago. In the meantime, those
on the city pay roll will accept the
retrenchment action of the commits
sion in good spirit.

WHEN THE JUDGE WAS HACKED

From the Popular Magazine.
Judge Isaac Johnson of Media, Pa, was
holding court one day In port town,
where the labor unions had organized a
big strike and walk-cut. The mayor of
the city had issued an order that the
police should seize, throttle, grab, and
arrest all men who either loitered in the
streets or appeared intoxicated.
There was brought before the judge on
that bright and peaceful morning gentle
man whose Irish accent was as thick as
the flaming locks that crowned his head.
He had been arrested as a troublesome
striker.
"Well, my man." said the judge kindly,
"why did you want to make trouble?'
"Begorra." responded the astonished
Irishman. "Oi wint for no throuble. You
think Dim a sthriker. Ofm a sailor"
Don't joke" counseled Judge Johnson.
"Tell the truth. Where are you from?'
Ireland" replied the sailor.
"Oh, l don't believe you ever saw a
ship" the judge insisted. You're no
sailor
How dyou think OF cr-r-rossed the

OUR UNKNOWN TONGUE

From the louisville Courier-Journal
A book reviewer makes note of the
fact that there are 100000 terms in the
latest edition of the Standard Diction-
ary. against 3040oo 20 years ago. The in
crease it is stated, shows an advance
in the science of lexicography as well
as the growth of the English vocabulary.
English in it's present development is
the most flexible of languages. Upon the
lips of a man who has good working
knowledge of the vocabulary 1t is an
unmatched instrument for thought con-
veyance. Yet how ma of us know
enough of it to make, 80?
In an elbow acquainta ceship with an
unabridged dictionary lies a continuous
and expanding opportunity for education.
Yet many persons, even among those
whose vocation is to deal in one way or
another with words, look in the dictionary
only to settle a bet or an argument,
and in their daily work follow the method
of the girl who didn't know whether to
spell it paradise" or paradice," SO spelled
it 'heaven," and saved herself the trouble
of inquiry.
Not only every library. but also every
business office, should have an una
hridged distionary at hand, and smaller

said Sol Caheen yesterday. "The fact
is that no city of approximately It's

best of 1t is that its growth Will go

This second avenue, where my place
of business is, has expanded greatly

Is wonderful thoroughfare. 1t is easy

the avenue stretches out far in the

steadily in a westward direction. Even
ON rainy days this avenue is crowded
with pedestrians.

built up fast and it will not be long

Rural Credits

Alabama should lead orr on her own
account and establish that state land
credit bank which w. p. G. Harding out
lined and really provided for in the reso-
lutions adopted at the recent meeting of
the Alabama Land congress-" said a
gentleman who is interested in the build
ing UP of Alabama.
"The Land congress could not perform
any service that would have more value
to Alabama than in aiding to get such
a bank for the farmers of the state. If
it could be known to prospective set
tiers that money could be had for farm
development purposes in this state, as
cheap even as money for commercial put
| poses is obtained, there would be a Won
| derful impetus given to the development
| of the agricultural resources of Alabama.
| If it takes two years to bring this bank
into naturalization, and it will possibly
require that much time to obtain it, the
state would be more than compensated
for all it may put up to sustain the land
congress.
TT is almost beyond comprehension
how the farmers can bear the many bur-
dens that are placed on them and still
manage to have anything left to live on,
and when it is known that they do this,
| 1t is proof positive that there is money
in farming in Alabama, even according
| to the old methods, and if operated along
| modern methods 1t would most pay hand
| somely."

LITTLE BoY WE USED TO KNOW

Judd Mortimer Lewis, in the Ladies'
Home Journal.
The little boy whom we used to know,
Who came to us when the day burned
low,
Who left his swing and his bat and ball.
Who left his playmates and games and all
To come and stand by our easy-chair,
To stand before us with yellow hair,
On sturdy legs-with his feet apart
Before he snuggled against our heart.
Where is he now with his romp and
squeal,
With his little hurts that a kiss would
heal?
We heard him say his "I lay me down.
And we pressed our lips to his touslcd
crown,
Then his father tiptoed across the gloom
And sat him down in the farther room,
While his mother stayed by his side to
Groom
A soft bye-low to a world-old tune.
While he drifted out into Slumberand;
Then we stood and gazed at. him, hand in
hand,
And-lookng backward to where he lay
1t seems twas then that he went away
1t seems that he never came back at all
To the rubber cat and the bouncing ball.
To the old rope swing and the games he
knew,
A genie touched him-he grew and grew
From the room where our baby had sunk
to sleep
youth came forth. And his voice is
deep,
And his eyes are honest, and he is strongi
And while still ecohes the bye-low song
His lips say 'Mother." and then laugh
"Dadr
And we are frightened-but we are glad
Sometimes we stand in the little room
BY the little bed in the evenings gloom;
And we miss the faltering '1ay me down.
And we'd give the world for the touslcd
crown
To kiss once more! oh, Boy. grown tall.
We are frightened for you at the thought
of all
The dangers that wait your unwary feeti
And grieving-for heartaches you're bound
to meet!
But we are proud for the dear worlds
sake
Because of the man you are going to
make.

Business and the Tariff

Notwithstanding the recession in
business related to industrial opera
tions, distinct note of optimism pre-
walls. 1t is generally felt in large busi-
ness centers that the new year will
witness not only revival of indus
trial activity but a revival that will
develop new high records in many
lines of trade.
1t is a noteworthy fact that few
manufacturers or other business men
are charging the present lull to the
revised tariff. Commercial and indus
trial papers and recognized leaders in
the financial world refer to certain
causes, some of them centering in Eu-
rope; but scarcely one refers to the
tariff as having anything to do with
present conditions.
With good crops as basis, and with
our natural resources and with the
prodigious resourcefulness of the men
who conduct large business operations,
it is not easy to check prosperity. 1t
is reassuring at any rate to know that
the few alarmists who were predicting
hard times as result of the Under
wood tariff legislation have turned out
to be poor prophets. The downward
revision was intended to benefit the
people and it will do so. 1t has not
been long enough in operation for re-
