Ever Hear of Fish Scales on an Alto Horn?

D ITTSBURGH, PA.-Who put the
Bismarck herring in Harry Bak
er's horn? City Hall threatens to be
rocked by the controversy that has
arisen over this simple and almost
personal question At least that's
what the gossipers say. To tell the
truth Harry refuses to be interviewed
when the reporters attempt to get him
to tell the details.
Now Mr.. Baker may be the innocent
victim Of irresponsible and unrelent-
ing scandal mongers. And again Mr..
Baker may have incriminated himself
by simply refusing to be interviewed
on the subject. At any rate the tale
remains undenied, and in that event
1t is too good to let slip by without
making some mention of It.
Harry Baker is one of the crew that
guides the destinies Of the mayors
office. In this capacity 1t is one of
Harry's provinces to see that the gang
that congregates about that sanctum
every afternoon behaves itself with
proper decorum while waiting for the
summons to enter the holy of holies
where the mayor sits with his feet on
the mahogany desk.

ry is credited with being an artist on
the alto horn, which he plays with

But the want Of money is secondary.
The matter OF primary Importance is
that people should have right ideas as
to what constitutes good architecture
and sound building, and should insist
whenever they cause buildings to be
put up upon having only those which
are both well designed and well built.
Good building, the first essential,
and here, no doubt, is a point of dan
ger The popularizing of architec-
ture is good thing so long as the de-
mand is for good architecture. A great
uninstructed public demanding
quaint houses and picturesque"
bungalows would get what it wants,
but the result is not likely to make
Tor real progress in architecture or
for healthy conditions in the building
trade.

THE European hotel manager who, at

of roses, left us with sense of pleas
ure and desire to return which l

TRUTH ABOUT WALL STREET
Philosopher In Humorous journal
Tells Of Things That Are and
That Might Have Been.

Out Of the fusillade OF ideah
brought on by the Wall street investi-
cations, something is sure to result.
Already the dawn is putting the fog
to rout. It is clear now that Wall
street had number of very painful
things the matter with 1t, but totally
without being aware of the fact. AS
soon as Wall street found that it was
in pain, 1t was among the first to ask
for doctor And the rest Of US, as
the fog altitudinizes, know that all
of the little fiiers which we took in
stocks would have brought forth
handsome returns If only the stock
exchange had been Incorporated or

All that, however, has passed, or
nearly passed. The time is nearing
when the most immature lamb can
walk boldly into any Wall street EN-.
porium without a chaperon. There he
will be met by a Specially selected
committee of affable and unselfish
brokers. After curling himself up in
the capacious depths OF a luxurious
leather lounge, he can lay his stake |
at random, be it large or small, and |
then he can dismiss it from his mind,
serene in the perfect certitude that,
owing to the expurgating which Wall
street has been subjected to, nobody
can lose. and least of all the outsid.

he insiders will make sure it will fall
upon their own broad and brawny
shoulders.

EXPERIENCE
OF MOTHERHOOD
Advice to Expectant Mothers

The experience Of Motherhood Is q try
Ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in a hundred is prepared or un-
derstands how TO properly care for her
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial Of strength, and when it Is over
her system has received shock from
which it is hard 10 recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
Of caring for the child, and q distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother Of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard TO health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing Is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with ann
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkhsm's Vegetable
