PLAN SEGREGATION OF VICE
State Commission Meets in Madison
and Will Soon Hold Session
in Milwaukee.

Madison.--In a speech before the
state anti-vice commission DR.. c. A.
Harper advocated segregated dis
tricts with licensed resorts as a rem
edy for the so-called social evil.
Senator Howard Teasdale of Spar
ia was chosen chairman. Complete
organization was not affected, as
some OF the members were absent
Assemblyman Bingham. Friendship,
was selected secretary.
The members of the commission
are DESTROYS of interesting the people
of the state in the work of curbing
vice. Proper training of the young
boys and girls at their homes and the
teaching Of sex hygiene by their par
ents are the chief feature aimed at
by the commission.
Religious training in the home at
an early age and the teaching of sex
hygiene We're recommended by Dist,
Atty. Robert N Nelson of Dane coun-
ty, as a means for reducing the vice
traffic DIR. Harper also said that par
ents are to be blamed for the present
conditions to a great extent, because
they permit young girls to go on
long rides, to dinners and to late
dances unchaperCned"

How the Custom Originates Is Told
in Legend Dating 1000 Years Be-
fore Coming of Christ.

The Chinese claim to be the fiTst
users of tea as a drink, and how It
originated Is told in a, pretty little
legend that dates from 1000 years be-
fore the coming of Christ.
A daughter of a then reigning SOW
ereign fell in love with young noble
man whose humble birth excluded
him from marrying her. They man
aged to exchange glances, and he oc-
casionally gathered a few blossoms
and had them conveyed to her.
One day in the palace garden the
lovers met and the young man en-
deavored to give her few flowers;
but so keen was the watchfulness OF
her attendants all she could grasp was
a little twig with green leaves.
On reaching her room she put the
twig in water, and towards evening
she drank the water in which the
twig had been kept. So agreeable
was the taste that she even ate the
leaves and stalks. Every day after
wards she had punches of the tea
tree brought her, which she treated
In the same way.
Imitation being the sincerest form
of flattery, the ladies OF the court tried
the experiment and with such pleas
ing results that the custom spread
throughout the kingdom-and the
great Chinese tea industry became a
fait accomph

The opinion was necessary because

cities of the fourth class might avail
themselves OF state aid in 1915, but
later law made further provision
that aid might be sooner received by

AN ELEcTRo-MAeNET DERRICK.

A great many interesting expert
ments can be made with an electro
magnet. and it can be used in the con-
struction of a number of home made
tops, among which is the electro-mag-
net derrick shown in the illustra-
tons. Lots of fun can be had with
this derrick in hoisting nails and 9TH
er small pieces of hardware from the
floor to table top, and as the
boom" or arm Of the derrick can be
swung from side to side, and raised
and lowered, loads can be swung from
place to place in just the same way
as with large derricks. The derrick
can be used for loading and unload
ing your toy wagons, carts and trains
of cars, provided. of course, you use
iron or steel of some sort for your
loads. 1t is easy enough to get nails,
lacks, screw-eyes and odd pieces Of
hardware for the purpose
An electromagnetic consists of q
center core of soft iron encased in a

Madison. For nine months no vic.

dence that the epidemic, starting in
Wisconsin in the fall of 1907 and
spreading rapidly from the region of
Beloit northward through the eastern
tier of counties. has ceased. During
that time the dread disease was prev
alent in the southwestern counties but
it did not become so serious there in
its ravages.
From July 1, 1911, to July l, 1912, the
laboratory examined 152 brains of ami
mails slaughtered for this disease. For
the year ending July /, 1913, the num-

eighty-five and the percentage of ra-
bles was very much less. Human vic
