QUEEN MARY BARS
BIG GAMBLING CLUB
Consort Ends Plans For ExCIu-
SlV0 WOman'S House.

London Queen Mary by reason Of
her .nconquerable aversion to gam.
bling In any form by women has pre-
vented the establishment Of a womnn's
club In London which, from 4 social
point OF view, by far would have out
ranked any existing wOman'S club in
the city and which, in fact would
have been kind Of woman's MarlbOr
Ough club.
The incident at the same time shows
how, in spite OF the queens strong and
constantly demonstrated objection, the
society women Of England are equally
determined not to be deprived Of their
big or little gambling.
plan was formulated a short time
ago to start Il wOman'S club the mem
Dership Of which was to be restrlc ted
to past and present ladies Of the vnri-
Gus royal households in England. At
first everything pointed to It's imme.
date great success. Nearly every
royal lady residing In England prom.

dies Of the royal households imme.
diatcly came in.
OF course it was absolutely essen.

support Of the queen, as she is the
head Of the select body from which
the members were to be selected
Lady Agnctn Montague. the organiz.
ing secretary Of the club, Immediately
approached Queen Mary as soon as the
successful establishment Of the club
was assured. A couple Of weeks ago
the queen wrote to Lady Agncta that
she would join the club. but only on
the conditions that there should be nc
card room In it and that 10 male Wis.
1tors should be received
These conditions were made known,
and two weeks sufflced to show that
they rendered the formation Of the
club impossible, for Of the $50 ladies
who formed the original nucleus of
the organization 40 have now with.
drawn their names. As a result the
scheme has been abandoned.

r1icrobes i'm Your Scalp

Authorities say that q n1icrohe
causes badness. If you are losing
hair try our remedy at our risk.
Professor Unna, of Germany, and
DR.. sabouraud, the great French
Dermatologist, claim that a Mi
crobe causes badness, and their
theory has been verified by eminent
scientists. This microbe destroys
the hair follicles, in time causing the
scalp pores to close and the scalp to
become shiny. Then, it is believed
nothing will revive the growth. II
treated before this occurs, badness
may be overcome.
We know of nothing that has
given such universal satisfaction In
treating the scalp and hair as Re1aH
'93" Hair Tonic. It has been de-
signed after long study to overcome
the cause of falling hair as discovered
by Prof. Unna, DR.. Sabouraud and
other scalp and hair specialists, and
we believe it will do more than any,
thing else can to remove dandruf and
stop falling hair; and if any human
agency can promote new CROWN
of hair it will do that, too.
We want you to make US prove 1t.
We will pay for months treatment
of Rexall "93" Hair Tonic used dur
ing a trial, if you will use 1t ac-
cording to directions, and are not
thoroughly satisfied. When we will
do this, you surely should not hesitate
to at least try it.
Start the treatment today. Your
mere request will get your money
back if you want it. Two sizes: 500
and S1.00.

failure to stop. Passengers were said
to jump from the car at times while it
was in motion rather than be carried
past their destination.
Witnesses who reside along the
route followed by the interurban cars
asserted that the dust, noise and vibra-
ton made by the heavy interurban
cars was very Objectionable. These
cars were said to travel at a speed
of twenty miles an hour or faster.
With regard to the service rendered
by the interurban cars at other cities
on its line, a police officer of Kenosha
stated that he had ridden over the
line and observed that twenty-five
stops were made in Racine north bound
and twenty-seven stops southbound,
and that thirty-seven stops were made
between Racine and the Public Service
Station in Milwaukee. In Milwaukee.
stops were made at practically all
crossings.
Traffic data for the week of July
% to 20, 1912, were submitted by the
respondents at the hearing. Tables
I and II following, show the interur-
ban traffic at the city limits, and the
number of passengers using local cars
to reach or leave the. city limits.
Table / shows that seventy-seven
per cent of the total number of inter
urban passengers during the week in
question used the terminal at Market
Square to board or leave the interur-
ban cars. And from Table II it APP
pears that Of the total number of pas
sengers who boarded or aligihted from
the interurban cars at the city limits
only thirty-one per cent made use Of
the local ears in reaching or leaving
the city limits. e
The total traffic on the LOCAL, line
operating over the tracks used by the
interurban cars was submitted as in

TO a certain extent the state fair is
on strial this year and the people of the
state are expected to indicate by their
attendance whether or not they desire
to have the fair maintained at its pres
emit standard. It would be foolish for
the state to 60 on spending large sums
of money for buildings and equipment
for the fair unless the fair is support
I'D by the people Of the state and the
interest taken in the exhibition is gem
eral. The board of agriculture is
ready for the test and a program has
been prepared equal in interest to that
of any fair ever given, premiums and
purses have been generously provided
and everything done to insure that the
blame for poor attendance shall not
rest on the management. The success
or failure Of the fair is up to the peo-
pie Of the state.

walls in the republican primary. The
conservative situation serves to show,
however, in what chaotic condition
republican state politics are at the
present time.
There seems to be no doubt in the
minds of the IiaFollette republican
leaders that Senator LaFollette is
coming back personally TO Wisconsin to
direct the battle against Gov. Mccoy
'ern. The Chicago convention incident
with Gov. McGovern standing as the
candidate Of the bull moose faction OF
the republican party has never been
forgiven by the senator, and he is said
to be aching to enter fray in which
he can launch his political broadsides
against the governor.
On the basis of past history in Wis
consin Lieut.. Gov. Morris ought to be
a very strong candidate for the sen
ate, backed by united LaFollette
support. The situation is not quite the
same as it was in the Lenroot-David.
son campaign, when Senator LaFol-
lette failed to land Irvine Lenroot as
a gubernatorial nominee Gov. David
son had never openly parted with the
LaFollette organization prior to that
primary campaign, and part Of the
LaFollette organization could not be
weaned from his support. No one in
Wisconsin today construes Gov. Me-
Govern as in any way connected with
the. LaFollette organization, and he
will go before the public as an OPP
ponent Of the LaFollette political fac
ton.
But Gov McGovern has not been
forced out of the progressive ranks,
even thought there has been an abso-
Lutte divorce politically, SO far as he is
concerned, from LaFo1lette. Now, will
the voters look to his record as a pub
lie official rather than to his political
afiliationsa II they do not, then Gov.
McGovern has absolutely no show for
the republican senatorial nomination.
But there are indications that some
voters are showing support for Gov.
McGovern on his record as a public
official, and for this reason the state
ment that he has more strength than
the LaFollete people seem to consider
has a tangible basis which cannot be
denied. It is a political situation in
the solution of which guesses are of
little use.

Bichsoride Of mercury, according TO
the journal of the American Medical
Association, is a drug that is partlcu-
larly i'll adapted to purposes of sui
eide. In an editorial in the current
issue the journal says:
'tSome weeks ago considerable pub
hcity was Given case of accidental
poisoning from bichloride Of mercury
tablets. The case was so featured
as to lead the public to infer that
corrosive sublimate poisoning was not
only sure but also a painless route
to the other world. Since this accident
the papers have chronicled almost
daily cases of suicide in which blch-
loride Of mercury was the drug used.
There is no doubt that many unstable
persons, who, in fits of depression con-
template suicide are restrained from
taking the fatal step by the dread
Of the unknown agony they may suf-
fer in committing it.
'aTo such the knowledge Of a sure
and painless method Of death removes
the only restraining influence left. 1t
is fitting, then, that the public should
be acquainted with the fact that there
are, few modes of suicide more painful
and in which the agony is longer
drawn out than that du eto the taking
Of bichloride of mercury. If this fact
were given the same publicity that
was accorded the case of accidental
poisoning, there is little doubt that the
corrosive sublimate method of self
destruction would cease to be the
fatal fad it has recently become"

F. E. Doty Resigns from
State Civil Service Board
to go to California.
GAVE Big SERVICE TO STATE

F. E. Doty of Madison, who has been
the secretary Of the Wisconsin Civil
Service Board since it's creation in
1905, has rendered his resignation to
the board to take effect in the near
future.
Mr.. Doty leaves the Wisconsin COM
mission to accept the secretaryship OF
the county civil service commission Of
Los Angeles county in California, a
civil service law having recently been
enacted for that county by the leg
islature of California.
It is understood that Mr.. Doty goes
to California at substantial increase
in salary over that paid him in Wis
consin and that the field for work Of
fered there is also very broad, COM
prehensive civil service law having
been enacted for that county.
The members Of the Wisconsin com
mission will be very loath to lose Mr..
Doty for the reason that he has been
a very competent official, and in a
measure the successful install1nent of a
civil service law in this state has been
due to the untiring efforts of Mr.. Doty.
Mr.. Doty, ever since his connection
with the Wisconsin board, has been an
untiring fighter for civil service, and
at times he has had some contests Of
no mean Importance with other state
officials who desired to cling to the
spoils system and make appointments
on political grounds.
Some Of these battles have even
gone into the courts, and in those
cases the board has been invariably
successful.
In the main, however, the relations
of the Wisconsin civil service board
with the other state officials have been
pleasant, and civil service was es-
tablished in Wisconsin with far less
friction than it has been in many
states.
Since its original passage the Wis
consin civil service law has been ma
terially strengthened and this has
largely been through the efforts of
Mr.. Doty and the members of the
civil service board.
It will be with much regret on the
part of many of the state officials that
Mr.. Doty is to leave Wisconsin, as
there can be no question he has been
a competent official.

was largely due to the lateness of in
terurban cars. The conductors on the
local cars did not use the telephone
to locate the interuroan cars, but had
to depend upon the observation of the
light on the car which burns low if
the interurban car is approaching.
It was stated by the division superin-
tendent of the interurban line that
signal devices world be installed to
notify local conductors of the approach
Of the interurhan cars at the city lin
its and to prevent confusion as to pass
ing in the use of the single track
Since the hearing these signal devices
have been put into operation, and the
engineer of the commission reports up
on examination that they are adequate
to produce the desired results.
The vice president of the interuDan
company stated that the action OF the
company in eliminating local stops in
Kenosha was part of general policy
on the entire system to improve the
interurban service. He pointed out
that proceedings looking to the elimina-
tion of local urban stops were in pro-
gress in Racine and Waukesha, and
that it was not the intention of the
company to discriminate against Ke-
nosha in this regard. A number of
residents of the central part of Keno
sha and several travelling men testi-
fed that in their opinion the service
rendered was better than it would
have been if local stops were made.
The interurban service on the Ra-
cine Kenosha division of the Milwau-
kee Light, Heat and Traction Com
pany is furnished by local cars MAX
ing country stops on signal. The com
.pany does not operate limited cars for
fast through service. It is not be-
lieved that interurban cars should
stop at all street crossings where city
cars are operated over the same track

Outbound interurban cars should
make the following stops to recejys
passengers:
Market Square.
Grand Avenue.

Broad Street.

It is considered essential that signs
be placed at each street intersection
along the line indicating whether in
terurban ears do or do not stop. Suf-
fcient publicity should be given con-
corning any such changes in the city
stops, and the necessary "Stop" and
" No Stop" signs should be installed
before the changes are inaugurated.
Now Therefore. it is Ordered, That
in the event the respondent companies,
The Kenosha Electric Railway Com
pany and the Milwaukee Light, Heat
and Traction Company, resume opera
ton of interurban ears within the citv
of Kenosha, they shall establish and
observe the stops hereinbefore indicat-
ed and install the signs ,uggested.

Old Time Singing Societies
to be Revived by Univer-
sity Extension Course.
FORM CLASSES IN ALL CITIES

A statewide revival of community
music is at hand The old-fashioned
singing school of our fathers will be
turned into instruments for developing
the social life of the towns, villages,
and neighborhoods. Defunct town
bands will be resurrectad. Community
orchestras will organize. Home talent
will put on the best shows in the history
of respective communities. Music and
pageantry has come into its own in
Wisconsin. There will be old-fashioned
music like, "S'wanee River' and
" Annie Laurie And there will be
productions in line with Coleridge Tay-
lor and Gounod
This movement has the backing of
the extension division of the University
of Wisconsin which will undertake to
push the social side of music in every
neighborhood of the state. The divi-
sion will leave the development of mu-
steal prodigies to the private instructors
of music and will confne its efforts
Ito helping communities get genuine en-
joyment out of music in any form and
pageantry in its relation to promotion
of social life.
Glasses will be formed and courses
will be given in towns that apply. The
usual stipulations for entrance to these
classes such as voice and ear testing will
not be required. And all that will be
necessary to become horn player is to
own your own horn. The university
stands ready to lend its aid to any COM
munity that wishes to develop town
bands or orchestras
To promote this great work the uni
versity has secured the services of Prof.
Peter w. Dykema, who comes to the
school of music of the institution this
year, after doing summer instruction
for several seasons. lie is musician
of remarkable ability and a teacher of
unusual force. He was trained in var
ious institutions Of America and Europe,
and has taught and lectured on both
continents. He has directed some of
the biggest musical and pageant festi-
walls in the nation. He is now president
of the Festival Society of America,
prominently connected with the Nation
al Pageant Association, Festival De
partment Editor of a great educational
journal, and one of the writer's of a
book dealing with festivals and plays.
