Sidewalk Sketches

barrassing to hostess to see one of
her guests sit down in a blue silk
dress and rise up in disgust, having
performed the function of a carpet
sweeper.
busting is painful and awkward
pursuit which takes the place Of Swed-
ish gymnastics in the home. After a
woman has crawled over and under all
of the downstairs furniture and
skated down winding staircase, with
busting cloth in both hands and a
pea-green busting cap tilted rakishly
over her left eye, she will not feel like
paying 81 an hour for set of Delsarte
exercises.
The greatest enemy to dust is the
street sprinkler, which drops around
three times a day and assaults 1t with
pure, cold water. Whenever anybody
refuses to contribute, the street sprink-
Ter will refuse to give down in front
of his house, thus allowing about half
"a block Of thoroughly screened dust
to drift into the neighbors' homes and
give sour aspect to the front lawn.

Dust is an ornamental variety of
pulverized mud which grows in great
profusion on pianos, hard wood floors
and quartered oak sideboards. 1t is
considered so much of an ornament
by some people that it is never inter
fered with except when it comes time
to celebrate the golden wedding ami
versary. ...-... &.
Dust is usually removed with the
bare hand, encased in piece OF
cheesecloth, and can be chased from
one room to the other all day long
without being captured. On windy
day more dust will walk into the
house through the cracks Of a new
cement residence than neat house.

The Underwood bill leaves the duty
on finished automobiles and automobile
bodies at As per cent, but reduces the
duty on finished parts of automobiles
(not including tires) from IS per cent
to 20 per cent. The manufacturers
statement claims that the result of
that reduction will be that the foreign
automobile manufa cturers will simply
ship their automobiles to this country
in Touchdown form and In that
shape they will carry only the duty OF
20 per cent, which Is the duty on
finished parts of automobiles. They
will then be put together in this coun-
try and while the Underwood bill calls
for the duty Of IS per cent on finished
automobiles they will, In reality, only
pay 20 per cent Continuing, the state

If it were not for the indomitable
energy and the daring investment OF
capital in the American motor car in
dustry at times when the possibility OF
it's becoming a great industry and
profitable one were In the grayest
doubt, it would not in years have been
built up to take care of the enormous
necessities of this country for motor
vehicle transportation and untold
hundreds Of millions of dollars would
have been sent to European manu-
facturers to supply the American
needs. Countless tens OF millions OF
dollars in the highest wages ever paid
would never have been paid to Ameri-
can workmen, but would have been
paid to cheaper European labor.
The wages Of labor in Europe is
acknowledged to be, according to the
nature Of the occupation. from one
third to one-half or two-thirds OF the
wages paid for similar work in
America.
There are manufacturers in America
who think they are conducting success
full businesses by reason OF their great
personal ability when in reality it is
because of wise tariff laws.
Let them take their brains and their
plant and their employees to Spain,
Italy, England Germany, France.
Belgium. Austria or Canada and even
if they do manufacture efficiently they
will then find sadly that it is the lack
of the American market which will re-
duce them to the level OF the other
factories in those countries.

MAKING WAR ON THE FLY.

The determination of the fly is 9
serious matter and should be treated
seriously, the Waterloo Reporter
argues, and to back up the assertion,
a table Of diseases, traceaDle to the
fly, is set out.
For months city, county and state
papers have been harping away on the
question Of destroying the fly" says
the Reporter. "but the average reader

Dubuque Times: One Of the many
Objectionable features Of the Under
wood tariff bill is that which allows
foreign meats to enter the United
States free Of duty without undergoing
the same inspection as required by
our laws The new tariff bill would
admit cured meats to come into the
country without assurances that the
meat was properly inspected before
killed. Authorities on the subject de-
clare it is an easy matter to "dostor"
cured meat to have 1t pass inspection.
The provision Of the tariff bill relating
to meats gives interruptions packers
clare it is an easy matter to doctor
diseased meat, ship 1t into the United
States free OF duty and compete with
our packers who must live up to re-
ouirements not asked Of foreign COM
petitors.
Getting Some Sense.
Burlington Gazette: The British
authorities, after permitting the
militant suifragists, or suffragettes,
or whatever you may care to call
them, to perpetrate an untold num-
Der OF indignities, have at last awak-
ened to the seriousness of the situa-
ton. The government has taken of
the gloves with which 1t had been
wont to handle the bughouse ladies
with the rough house ideas, and
now proposes to spank them with
the bare hand and to make it count.
Everybody that possesses a grain OF
horseN sense will applaud the action

Press Comment.
MOTHERS DAY.

Manson Democrat: Sunday the
eleventh of May Is Mothers day,
when all loyal, loving sons will wear
flower for mother-a white one II
she has passed away and a red one II
she is living. Surely no son who loves
his mother-and what an unnatural
son he would be if he did not love her
will forget to wear flower for her
dear, sweet memory on that day.
Mother was not always as she is now.
The spun silver halo about her head
was once beautiful mass of blonde
or brunette shade and the cheeks that
now hold naught but wrinkles was
once the romping place of smiles and
dimples in pink and alabaster. The
wrinkles and the gray hair would have
come with age, anyhow, but It may De
just possible that you helped to hurry
them along. Mothers dear face is just
as sweet now as it was when you were
a little boy and she was looking down
at YOU in love and motherly kindness,
but maybe you have been too busy
to look into her face Of late years
with the same interest that you took
when she was helping you to undress,
washing your neck and ears, or giving
YOU a piece of bread and sugar or
molasses, or. better still. a quarter
section of pie Remember It now, don't
you? All! mother can be with us but
few wears at most. We should count
the; DAYS and times when we could
have lightened her burden and made
her happier and when we should not
again forget her, for every kindness
shown her now fairly bursts her dear,
good kind old heart with love for us.
God bless and keep her always. We
must all wear a flower on that best OF
all days-Mother's day.
How Does Your School District Stand?
Marshalltown Times Republican:
The United States is taking consider
able interest in rural schools just at
present. Here are the requirements
suggested by the national commits
sioner of education: A minimum
school term for rural districts of eight
or nine months, the eight months
term being merely temporary and to
lead up to the establishment OF the
longer minimum term, a minimum
qualification for rural teachers OF four
wears in high school and not less
than two years of college or normal
school training, and good libraries for
all rural schools. These and an effort
to adjust the rural schools to the needs
of rural life are the ground work OF a
rural school system, the minimum re-
ouirements to which all rural schools
should be brought to conform.
How does your school district meas
IRE up to the minimum scale?
The commissioner points out that
city schools In this country average
1874 days schooling to the year. He
can see no reason why country chill
dren should not have as many days OF
school opportunity az city children.
He can not find any reason why they
should not have teachers fully quail
fled by special training, why they
should not have access to q useful
library. How Is it in your district?
Iowa is one Of eleven states which
have school terms of between eight
and nine months. She is in. fairly
advanced class educationally. But the
question is pertinent nevertheless, how
is it in your school district and what
are you doing about It?

In addition to these the following
diseases: Bubonic plague, pellagra,
Asiatic cholera, leprosy, anthrax, con-
junctivitis, ophthalmia and infantile
paralysis. The last is not classified
