CINCINNATI, O., May 12.-Com-
pletely crippled and paralized by the
strike of motormen and conductors
no attempt was made today by the
Cincinnati Traction company to oper-
ate any cars. The company is pre-
pairing to break the strike with import
ed men and already has 500 strike
breakers assembled at its barns in this
city.
There is a prospect that the state
militia may be called out to aid the
local authorities.
Mayor Hunt today refused the trac-
tion company's request to place police
men on cars to be manned by strike
breakers. He said the police would
attempt only to preserve order but
would do nothing to help break the
strike.
Mayor Hunt also declared that if he
does not receive an answer to his let
ter to the president of the traction
company demanding that the COM
pany arbitrate the differences with
their men by o'clock tonight court
proceedings will be instituted to annul
their franchise. Practically all build
ing construction was tried up today
when 5000 men of the Allied Build
ings trades were locked out by the
employers association as a result c.
the refusal of 700 men now on strike
to return to work this morning. 1t is
believed this strike will complicate
the already serious street car situa-
ton and sympathetic strikes of all
trades in the city are feared.

half dozen generations. and now,
it seems, science h at last waking up

Sir Hickman Goodiee. president Of the
Royal College Of Surgeons, said:
Il have lately been reading old let
tiers dating back to the early part Of
the eighteenth century, and l have
been struck with the way in which
mere handwriting is handed down
from father to son. and mother to

1T is possible to trace quite clearly
my great-grandfather's writing in that
Of my cousins and my fathers and my
own. If mere handwriting is thus
transmitted, together with the tone of
the voice and the shape OF the nose,
the question arises whether any one
need be ashamed OF his defects, sorry
for his misdecds, proud Of his sue
cess, or satisfied with the conscious
ness of virtue. We may feel the long

Of the future will not be contented
with dress which remains constantly
Of one color, but will demand colors
that change in harmony with their sur
roundings.
Thus the color of the apparel may
be changed without changing the
dress. Passing from darkness to light
the color would brighten, thus con-
forming automatically to the environ
ment-the last word in fashion for the
future.
This prediction win come true as
soon as chemists learn to understand
better what are called "phototropic
colors," or colors that change with
the intensity of the light upon them.
In mems wear this might mean that
the light-colored suit of the bright
summer day would be transformed
