Red Tapo In France.

A curious little monument to french
red tape is to be cen at the Petit
Palais. The clock In the building has
marked the same hour for the last
10 years, although 1t Is in perfect re-
pair. The explanation borders on the
ridiculous.
At the close Of the Paris exhibition
10 years ago a busybody OF an of
fetal stopped the clock for no other
reason than that the exhibition was
closing Its gates. Since then 1t has
remained stationary, for the simple
reason that 1t does not appear on the
list OF clocks which the official clock
winder to the municipal council has to
attend to, and until some particularly
energetic member Of the council at
tends to the matter the present state
OF affairs is likely to continue.

MILK CRUSADE SAVES BABES


A9constantly increasing number OF
cities of all Sizes are establishing milk
stations and dispensing milk. whether
pure whole milk. certified. modified,
pasteurized or steriIized milk to
mothers Of babies that must be bottle
fed. Some Of the cities In which such
institutions ara maintained are: Al
bany. Baltimore. Boston. Buffalo, Chi
cago. Dayton. Detroit, Hartford, Homo
lulu. indianapolis. Kansas City, Mo-.
Lawrence. Mass; Louisville, Lowell,
Milwaukee, Newark Bedford,
New Haven. New York. Peoria, Pltts-

Louis. Springfield. o.: Waterbury.
Wilkesbarre. Worcester. Yonkers.
Utica.
The milk station is simply . room
sufficiently large to accommodate the
patrons and equipped with a large Ice
box. a desk, some chairs and q table.
An ordinary store Is suitable for q

How Mad She was.

The limit OF forgiveness was surely
reached by the woman who. after re-
ceiving rs gashes from a Ratchet and
having two ribs broken, refuses to
prosecute her husband, and asks:
What Is the use OF starting up a lot
of trouble?" Perhaps It is as much
dependence as forgiveness. In Lon
don, where wife-beating lie a favorite
sport Of the slums, the police find the
greatest difficulty In bringing the Of
tenders to book because women have
to choose between denying that they
were W-used or starving while their
brute husbands are In jail. One wom-
an was brought into court ali bruised
and beaten up. but she denied that her
husband had done 1t and pleaded that
she had fallen downstairs. But" said
the judge. "a piece OF your ear has
been bitten of" Eyes, l did that my

Atlanta. Ga. - Miss Emma Kate
Amorous, one Of the prettiest Of the
seasons d~ebutantes, noted In the
Atlanta younger set for her vivacity
n her wonderful brown eyes con-
coded to be the handsomest pair in all

called a heroine as well as a beauty.
Miss Amorous and her escor were

acussu II Il Helps.

The use OF profanity, If 1t imparts
a feeling of satisfaction, is not con-
demned by a learned professor Of Eng
lish. H. c. Long, of the Carnegie In
stitute Of Technology.
This form of expression is artistic,
according to the professor. who sub
Stimulates his ideas by pointing to the
reputation Of George Washington, who,
he says, was an artist in profanity.
Prof. Long is quoted by the Tartan,
the Carnegie tech" paper. as follows:
ITO become profane on trivial oc-
casions Is surely to deprive this rem
edy for human ills OF its virtue by de-
grading 20 inferior use. Washington's
reputation as a perfect and secure ar
fist in the profane was gained on two
or three occasions only, when he felt
the frenzy OF great provocation."

Money of the Millions.

That the money trust" and multi
millionaires haven't been able to grab
all the currency in sight is apparent
from last years operations Of the fra
ternal beneficiary societies operating in
this state as set forth in the report of
the insurance department.
During the t~welvemonth they had an
income Of $85, 900, 900 and disbursed s73,-
600, 600, leaving an excess of $12, 900. 900
tncome-or $1,000, 900 a month. At the
close OF the year they had assets Of
500, 900, 900 In excess Of liabilities.
Statistics compiled by the Fraternal
Monitor indicate that in the United
States. these societies have 100000
members, with aggregate assets Of
$3.50, 000.0 0 Although these societies
do not figure in money mar
ket reports it Is evident that aside
from their social and humanitarian
services they are also in the aggrg-
gate a gigantic financial institution.

Convict Made Pets. Of Mice.

An interesting story OF a convict
and his two pet mice is told in the
report Of Captain Hanson. the prison
commissioner of London.
Captain Hanson said the convict,
who was imprisoned at Parkhurst, had
two pet mice, but was ordered to an
other prison, where he was unable to
take his pets. Captain Hanson prom
Used to have them cared for and him
self went to the cell for the mice.
Never shall l forget the parting
scene" continued the officer. "The
man took each Of the mice, calling
them by name. kissed them, and then
put them in a little box he had lined
with flannel, and with them a piece of
bread and a piece Of cheese he had
saved"

~ his own. All life, he says is the
pursuit Of an ideal. It is human to

IN the FAMILY. Guided by the standard
1t Is safe for the wife to go forth and
conquer the world, or that portion Of
1t which she wishes to subdue. There
Is then no temptation in the society Of
other men.
But, on the other hand, argues Mr..
Boileau. the unmarried woman has not
found her ideal. At least she has not
lived side by side with him for years.
Therefore is she without a standard of
measurement, and association with un-
s~crupulous men she may meet in her
career may be her undoing.

Mr.. Boileau has the courage Of his
theory. The beautiful Miss Emily Gil
bert, whom he married six years ago,
after she had been for a brief time
his model. has changed his mind
about being wholly satisfied with
domestic life. When she was married
she said: Although I was preparing
TO go upon the stage, I am happy to
pc only a wife and a housekeeper."
But she has grown restless in the we'll
ordered Studio at No. II West Thirtieth
street in New York and the summer
home at Douglaston, L. I.

the fire occurred. Her husband carried
her to safety in his arms. He thought
his little daughter was following close
behind him, and did not know any DIFF
ferent until Miss Amorous a few min
utes later placed the child in his arms.
Since her adventure In the fire, which
completely destroyed three handsome
residences, Miss Amorous has been a
toast among her intimates in Atlanta.
There is some talk Of attempting to
secure a Carnegie hero medal for her.
Miss Amorous appeared to be entirely
oblivious to her own danger ii her
anxiety to save the life of the little girl
She does not even mind the loss of her
pretty gown that was ruined in the
fire.
Miss Amorous is the daughter OF
Martin +. Amorous. She was born
and reared to young womanhood In the
city Of Savannah, where her father, up
to a few years ago, maintained a large
timber interest. She is well known
socially throughout Georgia and the
south. She is popular in society circles
both because Of her beauty and her
charming personality.

lighthouse stations installed at Brest,
France, which automatically send out
warning messages to ships every few

prove a success, as they are report

each case would act as an aerial mast.
By a simple clockwork arrangement,
which only needs attention once a

sent out by each station every few
seconds. One set of signals are sent
out by each station every few seconds.
