Experiment Shows Change
In Shipping Plans Would
Improve the Milk Product

After months Of investigation experts
In the Department of Agriculture have
found at least one of the reasons why
milk sent In interstate shipment for city
consumption is bacteriologically bad.
The department investigation is aimed
to improve the milk supply furnished
city consumers. Investigators engaged
In the work believe the high bacterio-
logical count Is due to the fact that
producers hold the mornings milk. COM

Germans Hard Hit
By New Excise Law

II was with reluctance that men,
women, and children sought the &C
qusintance of strange" beverages at
the different German organizations of
the city yesterday. the first dry sun
day Washington experienced under the
new excise law.
"Pop''-nonaIcoholic. noninspiring. and
insipid "'pop"-supplanted the exhilarat-
ing stems Of lager on the tables and
bars of the German societies, which
are probably hit harder by the Sunday
clause of the excise law than any other
element.
Such maItless Sundays go against the
German temperament. Despite their an
tagonism TO the new law. however, all
the German clubs closed their lockers
tightly. No beer whisky. or any other
liouor banned by the provisions Of the
new legisla ton was served.
Throughout every clubhouse the sa-
lient question asked was, How are the
German clubs TO live under such an
obnoxious law"

 Huerta, Is Perpetrator.

Los Angeles, Sept. 1S.-That the Mexican situation is responsible for the sending to Gen. Harrison Gray Otis of the internal machine he re- ceived is now the belief of the police. They think some Mexican, angered at the attitude of Otis newspaper, the Times, toward the Huerta administra- tion, attempted to kill the publisher.
 That the bomb was the real thing" was the statement of Police Captain Felts.
 When the internal machine arrived Otis Japanese servant expressed a suspicion that the box was dangerous, and his employer turned it over to the police Capt. Felts pried it open and found two sticks of S5 per cent dyna- mite and Illuminating caps, arranged to explode when the bomb was opened in the regular way.

SUFFRAGlsTS ARE SCORED
MRS. A. M. DODGE BLAMES THEM
 FOR LAX PUBLIC MORALS.
ing, the Cobweb Waist and the Diaph anous Skirt? She Asks.

Washington, Sept. 23.-Mrs. Arthur M, Dodge of New York, pres dent of the National Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage, attributes q egener- acy of the stage, vulgar dances and increased vice to the cause of sui frage. Mrs. Dodges statement, which calls upon suffragists to reply, fol lows:
 The ordinary forms of dancing have become so degraded that ire quently when they are practiced in public the police take the place of chaperons. Women, misled by the present bacchanalia of fashion, are arrested and haled into court because of their indecent dress. Magazines print material so salacious that they escape only by hairs breadth being barred from the United States mail Theatrical managers produce plays depicting houses into which neither decent women nor self-respecting men would ever go.
 The keystone of the argumenta- tive arch of suffragism is that the women must have the ballot in order to wipe out vice. If there is no vice, or if it is not rampant and overwhelm- ing, the sufIragists have no ground upon which to stand.
 Men, they say, can solve the ordi- nary governmental problems, but women must shape the laws to keep down all that which is included un- der the blanket word vice. Therefore. their first absorbing task is to estab- lish the fact that there is vice, 8 terrifying amount of vice.
 And in order to do this they must make the acquaintance of vice: must look upon it's ghastly Gace; must deck 1t with the poor hangings and trap pings of the professional reformer; must lead it, ugly and repulsive. across the stage must magnify it and discuss it and be very close to it.
 Tn the process which is called evo- lution toward the ballot they rush
The Prescott daily news., 1913-09-23

from the home to the public placs. and, deserting the conversation of tbo parlor, listen with knowing ear to tba chatter of the lupanar. They are sp. premely conscious that vice is every, where.
 The most stunning menace to tha morals and manners of today is con. tained in this astounding habit t women in actually trying to convince all classes that vice is predominant
 Tt manufactures morbidity. II stjm. ulates a criminal curiosity. It is rare food for those who ape the doers of evil. Whence come the gossamer stocking, the cobweb waist and dapb. anous skirt? Are they not the thin reflection of the terrific impress made upon the public taste by the preach. ments of the pursuers of vice? Are they not another manifestation that evil communication corrupt good manners and that pitch, if it is touched, defiles?"

 Botta laughed, but his eyes grew white underneath and his hand shook as he drank.
 Again Botta came, laughing and testing with his cronies. and winking when Gentle Dionigio was not looking turned to him and said, softly:
 Take care, my nephew, God has told me to kill you within two weeks"
 And, on the night after two weeks, Botta was there again. And now, when his uncle came toward him, he drew back with alright, and put a chair before him as a shield.
 Have no fear" said the old man. q would have killed you last night, but God came to me in dream and said, One week longer, Dionigio.'
 All the evening Botta sat with his glass undrained, thinking sick thoughts, with sighs and furtive glances at Gentle Dionigio. For he was afraid. AS he went home he said to himself, Tt Is not right that he should bring God into this business. Why does he not try to kill me, as any one else would do? I could de- fend myself then"
 He did not appear at the wine shop for a long time, but stayed in his room whittling the carvings that he sold on the streets in the daytime. One day he stopped, for he found that always his figures took the look of old Bor- sini and leered and laughed at him under the lamplight, and chilled his limbs.
 In time the shadows in the room drove him to the wine shop He drew courage from thinking, "Old Dionigio has forgotten. He lies when he says that God is against me-"
 And when he came he grew bold, laughing and testing as in the other times. In defiance, he waited until the others had gone, and then swag- gered to the door When old Dionigio tapped him on the shoulder he turned in an instant, his knife in his hand. He thought, Tt is now!'
 But Dionigio was looking upon him with eyes as soft as a nuns.
 Listen, Botta," he said, God is merciful to you. On the night before your doom, he came to me in my sleep and said, 'Dtonigio, the murderer of your son must live until the day ns ho IN1x D1x~ TT,,tt r. must live'"
 But why do you not try now?" stammered Botta. the knife tremblinp

 "No," said gentle Dionigio, flinging Botta from him. God has taken your strength from you and I could slay you now, as you slayed my poor Pie tro. But Gods will shall be done, and you must live until the day of St. Peter"
 For long time the topers did not see Botta.

 One day the barber, Fuseli, came into the shop and said, Have you heard the news, Papa Borsini? They have sent Botta to the insane asylum; you have lost your vengeance"

 When they passed the shop and found the shutters closed day after day, with Nicola Davio's puppies playing on the steps and the dust blowing into the corners, they said:
 Poor old Dionigio, his heart is broken"
 And all the while Botta swaggered and grew fat with glory.
 But one day the shutters were opened, the puppies sent away and the door left ajar, so that one could see the mirrors and the kegs of rum, and more than all, Gentle Dionigio himself, with his towel on his arm and his fresh white apron. And the word went from one to another. until one by one all the topers came-all but one, and he was Botta
