RUSTLE OF SILK SKIRT
WORRIES CHICAGO ALDERMAN

CHICAGO, May 15.-Chicago will
make Philadelphia take on the as
poets of noisy, frivolous gay Paree
by contrast if two resolutions, placed
in the hands of council committees,
survive the process of smothering.
From Alderman Nance came reso-
luton for an investigation preliminary
to the suppression of unnecessary
noises. These include the street car
gong, the automobile siren and the
steamboat whistle.
"And while we are about it," sug-
gested "Bathhouse John" Coughlin,
who offered resolution, pointing to
regulation of women's dress, let's
see if the swish of silk skirt can't
be classed with the unnecessary
noises"

ARMY is HEAVY COST
TO GERMAN PEASANTS

BERLIN, May 15.-At time when
Germany is about to make big in
crease in hcr army it is of interest
to note the economic effect Of Il e
present peace footing uptr typical
peasant family. This a.'pe:r of Ger
many's milit Try burden ha, been made
the subject u investigation, and from
all reports On nearly 1900 peasants
families in Bavaria it is sesn that ev-
cry soldier costs his family at least
$238 during the two years Of service
IN the army.
AS the pay # the men does net SUI
fee for their needs, their parent have
to send them money and gifts that
average about $36 yea. Besides
this, the peasant must hire farm
laborer as substitute for mis- son,
which means further expense of $50.
These figures appear all the more Sc
rious when it is remembered that
over half of the families included in
the investigation furnished the coun-
try at least four soldiers each, while
the number went as high as eight OF
nine in some families.
A striking feature of the situation
is the virtual ruin of some small
farmers by the removal Of the young
men to do their term Of service. Such
cases are by no means rare. One
peasant who supplied five soldiers
wrote: ~ should have been glad to
send few of them to school, but
am spending all my money on the
army" Another, owner of three acres
of land and himself a farm laborer
for a part of his time, said: "My
property, small enough already, was
ruined by military duty" He had sent
four sons into the army.

TARIFF WILL MAKE WAGES LOW

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 15.-
In the house this morning Represen-
tative Mondell of Wyoming rebuked
Secretary Redfield, for threatening
American manufacturers with an in
vestigation if the wages were reduced
as a result of the tariff bill"
Majority Leader Underwood imme-
diately replied for the administra-
ton, and declared that the govern
ment had served notice on industries
for federal investigation of the eff
feet the tariff law on industries and
they would be pressed. The speaker
added that if any injury through the
bill to legitimate business resulted,
such mistakes would be ractified
promptly He asserted that during
the tariff hearing scores of manufac-
turers swore that if congress reduced
the tariff they would make reduction
in the wages of their employees, not
out of their profits. To this Mr.. I'm
derwood said: 1--WE are entitled to
know if the manufacturers are telling
the truth, and intend unjustly and I'M
fairly to punish their labor by taking
the tariff law as an excuse. If the
law is so drastic that it may affect
great industrial interests and the
wages of employees, we want to know
it, because we propose to do abstract
justice"

ARE THOROUGHBRED HORSES
HORSES DOOMED?

We have long known in general
way that the automobile is driving out
the horse, and some of use have re-
GREETED the disappearance Of those
spirited high steppers" we used to
see on the boulevards; but few of
us have probably taken the trouble to
inform ourselves just how hard the
case of the horse is and just how
black his future.
Henry Sedley, in Outing, warns US
that we are fast losing our ascend
ency as breeders of fine horses, and
hacks up his assertion with figures
that are rather discouraging. For
example, there are but 1880 thorough
breds in the country today as against
22,500 in 1908. There being approxi-
mately 23,0O0.000 horses in the coun-
try, the proportion of thoroughbreds
is about one-thirtieth of l per cent,
and seems to be steadily diminishing.
Now, the thoroughbred is a fine
animal in himself, but he is import
ant for another reason-he furnish
es about the best object lesson in
eugenics we have up to the present.
Bred for wind and speed, he met the
demands imposed on him in the most
satisfying way. Then, too, it was the
thoroughbred which, crossed with
other lines, gave US the modern hack
ney, the park hack, the Yorkshire
coach horse, all the saddle types, the
hunter and the polo pony-in short
all the breeds that are notable for
style and fire. If the thoroughbred
passes, the Other breeds must suffer
