Walker Hines asserted, for the five
companies he represented, the appli-

worth of business done. Such re-

and misery in which you have SUI
fered from excessive fat"
Mrs. Shellenberger is in Denver
now but she is not making any
friendly calls on Marjorie. The rea-
son for this is that Mrs. Shellenber-
ger still is in that ''vale of darkness
and misery of which Marjorie wrote
so pensively. Mrs. Shellenberger tes-
titled for the government today. An
other letter to her from Marjorie
reads:
"You can't be attractive to others
when you have horrid thoughts in
your mind. And how can you have
anything but horrid thoughts when
your body is covered with fat.
81, too, was fat once. starved
myself; 1 went through nerVe-rack-
ing exercises; but my awful double
chin hung on like an evil thing. So
I studied and studied and finally dis
covered the treatment which has re-
stored my present figure. 1 believe
Cleopatra, Helen of Troy, the En-
press Josephine and all the famous

Another letter to Mrs. w. D. Moore,
of Clayton, H., who also is still in
the vale of darkness and misery
and is peevish about it, reads:
I Fat causes more divorces than
any other one cause; fat causes more
lost souls than any other one cause.
Many worthy women, with beautiful
souls but Unlovely bodies, are scorn-
ed by their fellows and thrust down
into perdition. Ny heart aches for
such people"
The hearts of the heavyweight
ladies whom Helen of Troy's, Cleo

CROOKS UP AGAINST 1T.
(Chicago O

The death knell Of safe blowing as
a profession" has been sounded. The
quick-witted, nim~ble-ingered gentle
man burglar" proficient in the use of
explosives, to whom apparently the
strongest n most up-to-date safe
falls an easy prey, may find himself
compelled to urn his wits to other
ends than that of safe blowing. For
safe blowing will be well-night impos-
sible in the near future. This not be-
cause city. state and federal police
have devised n new and more effec-
tive methods of capturing the silk
hated brigands. The authorities do
ing their best are apparently no match
for the ingenious safe blower.
Strangely enough this wal of sell
ence upon the safe blower has not
started in the United States, where
applied sciences and mechanics have
reached a greater height than in any
other country on earth. 1t is from
Germany that the new method of
combating the safe blower comes. The
Krupps, the world-famous manufac-
turers of ammunition and war imple-
ments, have set their chemists and
engineers to work compromising a ma
terial strong enough to resist the larg-
est quantity of explosives that the safe
blower can carry with him and the
best boring tools.
gineers of the Krupps have been at
work steadily and quietly making ex-
periments. Now they announce that
such material has at last been pro-
duced. This new material is especial
ly suitable for the manufacture Of
safes that will really be safe in spite
of all that the cleverest burglars and
1 ~-2 ~~~ Ir>~ NN-.. Il -
them.
The material will not allow itself to
be. readily fused or penetrated by the
! oXyphydrogen or oxyacetylene burners
now used by many safe blowers. The
material is a variety of cast steel, is
extremely hard. and so great are its
resisting powers that it will Withstand
the best boring tools and will come
GU nom the worse for the onslaught
made IN 1t by. the most expert safe
cracker, the scientists assert. Thus its
security against mechanical forcing Is
assured.
To illustrate further the enormous
strength of this new material the Ger
man scientihts say that to make a hole
3.2 inches i'll a plate OF this material,
lie inches thick, with the o~Xyacetylene
CURED to put in from six to fourteen
Ions Of acetylene and from 400 to A.
$50 gallons of oxygen would also be
required.
The average safe blower can never
have much time at his disposal. Nor
is he ever in a position to supply him
self with SO much gas. A single steel
cylinder in which compressed gases
are transported contains about 1,400
gallons Of uncompressed gas and
weighs about $50 pounds. The burglar
would have to have four such cylin-
ders at the lowest to effect an opening
into the safe. The transportation of
so many cylinders and the other APP
paratus needed is a task so staggering
that even the boldest safe cracker
would not undertake it.

Man Who Put Lid on Rome
HOW CATO GOT HIMSELF ELECTED TO HIGH OFFICE AND EARN.
ED THE TITLE OF KILL-JOY.

come. In 1874 B. G. he was elected
censor, a job which in those days held
a lot of duties besides viewing the
movies. Cato, with one other censor.
had charge of the city directory, de-
cided who was a citizen and who
wasn't, was dictator Of public morals
and had some sayso about how the
sesterces in the city treasury should
be spent. He was a sort of director
of the census head of the board of
public welfare and chairman Of the
appropriations committee all in one.
with a few odd duties thrown in for
good measure. And he had the chance
of a. lifetime to clamp the lid on
Rome. a chance that old G.. K. j. was
not slow to improve. you may be sure.
He issued orders about what sort of
simple clothes everybody should wear,
placed the taboo on hobble skirts and
three-foot hatpins m did a lot more
unpleasant things. His ideas of what
was decorous and what wasn't We're
rigid. to say the least. One man nam
ed Nautilus was degraded from the
pretorian rank Of citizenship because
he kissed Mrs. Manilius in the pres.
ence of their daughter. Whether Ca
to was sore because he wanted to kiss
Mrs. M. himself is not known; any
how. they reduced Nautilus to the
ranks.
But Cato, of course, did a lot of
good. Many of the things he put the
lid on temporarily needed suppress
ing. He spent the towns money we'll.
improved the waterworks system and
the rivers. n not even the folks
who disliked Cato most and called him
Old Sour Dough behind his back ever
intinnated that there was any graft i in
his department. The trouble with Ca.
to was that he was at heart a stand
patter. He was unable to distinguihs
between the good and the evil in the
new ideas hat were pouring in from.
Greece, n 81 he fought everything
new.
One of the biggest services Cato ev.
er performed for Rome was to stir
the citizens up against Carthage. He
was sent to Carthage as a peace en-
voy. to arbitrate some differences be-
tween the Carthaginians and the King
of Numidia, and he came back very
much alarmed Owe the wealth and
power of the North African city. He
felt that unless Rome swooped down
n beat Carthage to a whisper pref
ty quickly, the Carthaginians were
Rome and turn it into a mere suburb
of Carthage. And 81 after he got
back he began hammering away about
the necessity of destroying Carthage.
For wears he never made a public
speech without ending with the
phrase. Carthage delenda est" which
means. roughly speaking, Put Garth
age on the blink"
And finally Rome did go to war.
and you may remember that when
Rome got through Carthage looked as
if it had been through the Omaha
tornado and the Dayton food, with a
few jolts from the San Francisco fire
and earthquake. Old Cato in his
grave must almost have smiled.
