CUT RATES
In Fire Insurance Does F.,Ot
Help HOpkinSVille.

Shelbyville and Shelby county fire
insurance has been cu.t deeply under
the recent law. In this county the
rate has also been materially lowered
but there is no relief thus far for
property owners in the city. Why
the rates should be SO high here is a
question that none but the under
writers can answer. We venture
the assertion that there is not a city
in this State better protected from
devastation by fire than We are. We
have a system Of water pressure that
cannot be surpassed. so perfect that
a fire engine is Of no use in the
world.

Vice Crusaders to Tell What

Plans Formed to Prosecute
Cafes That Keep Open
After Legal Hours.

Chicago, Jan. ga large number
of reports of so-caIled New Years

Some Of the reports are illustrated
by tiashlight photographs.
One of the distinct novelties of
this season was put on by pretty
girl. faultlessly dressed, on a crowd
ed south-bound Cottage Grove aven-
ue car. Her escort assisted her in
getting her feet into the straps and
she hung. head downward, afford
ing a liberal display of dainty ling
erie.
The applause was so terrific that
she repeated the performance three
times and enthusiastic spectators
passed the hat and got a stocking
full of money for her. On this car
were at least twenty women, appar-
emily of the respectable well-to-do
class, but they applauded the girls
act as enthusiastically as did the
men.
In the hotels and cafes the custo-
mary stunts of dancing on the ia

ing ybody, indiscriminateIy,
dancing the bear cat, bunny hug,
tango and other fancy steps with
many hectic embellishments, wexf1
