The study of stairways and the
proper placing of them in dwelling
houses is responsible for more suicides
among architects than any other fea-
ture Of the business.
Ever since two story houses were
first built stairs have occupied promi-
nent positions, usually In front in full
view of the street door where floor
space is more valuable than in any
other part of the house. The front
stair not only takes up valuable space
on both floors but it often spoils the
living room or parlor down stairs and
curtails two of the best bedrooms up
stairs.

solves the problem in a new way. It
not only fills a new felt want, but 1t
fills the neighbors with envy and the
contractor with malice, because the
workmanship must be so exact to
please the owner that he can never
get out of it with profit.
However, this stairway seems to
overcome many difficulties. 1t occu-
pies the least valuable corner in the
house, which is right because nobody
stays in the stairway any longer than
he can help. You sit in dining room
long enough to enjoy a good meal, you
lounge in the living room until neces-
sity drives you to work or sleepiness
drives you to bed, and you stay in
nice front bedroom all night and part
of the morning If the boss don't OBJ

and ends he can find work out some
idea of his own than to possess a
whole houseful of ready-made locomo-
tives and fre-engines, which, to his
critical eye, lack many important de-
tails. The writer goes on:
These outfits consist of strips of
steel varying in length and having
holes punched at equal distances from
end to end. Included in these sets are
also gears, pinions, pulleys, Hanged
wheels, axles. beams, ETC., which give
the boy all the parts necessary to
build up almost any kind of minia-
ture machine. The strips are held to-
gether by means of small screws and
nuts, and the structures that can be
built in this way in a remarkably
short space of time by any boy are de-
clared to be surprisingly real in ap-
pearance. The various metal strips
are formed in imitation of structural
steel beams, and the young engineer

his mind. He also becomes familiar

to him in later years, even though he

MODERN WOMAN TOO MANLIKE
English Author crlticises What He
Calls "Bucoiic Look" and Lack
of Charm.

DR.. T. c. Shaw, a noted authority
on medio-psychological problems, lee
turing on THE Nervous Factor in
Woman's Health" said that the exces-
sive physical development which wom-
en- OF today are seeking is a bad thing
for the race, according to cable
gram to the New York Sun. He said
it produced women of hardened fea'
lures, more wrinkles and more indie
pendence The woman of today, he
went on, has less reverence for author
ity than her mother and has fewer
home interests,
Sport" he added, "is bad for the
marriage market. The sporting girl
becomes too manlike. She shows her
character too much to man and as
sumes bucolic look"
Doctor Shaw assumed that the pre-
vailing mode of short and tight skirts
showing the figure is due to desire
on the part of women to be what men
are and to do what men do. He con-
siders that O mistake, as it does away
with the mystery in woman, and won
ders how women allow it, as it Is
against their own interests. He said
there is danger of a new kind Of wom-
an arising with whom men will have
no sympathy. Taking the suffragette
as an example, he said:
"For years men have endowed wom-
en- with all the virtues and never
thought of the other side Of the pic
ture. They know now that there is
another side-that women can be
just as obstinate. spitetul and deyilish
as men,"

LITTLE JIM WAS INTERESTED
Not in Wonderful Deeds Of Hero in
Story Teacher Was Reading, But
in Her Crooked Tooth.

You could have heard pin drop in
the kindergarten that morning Miss
Mary was telling a story to be true,
but all was so quiet that even her
voice had taken on subdued tone.
Jimmie was sitting next to Miss
Mary, and in addition to Jimmie there
were Al other children in the morning
circle, all GREATNESS over the wonder
full hero of this story of knighthood.
1t might have been an accident that
Jimmie sat there. Again, it might
have been a scheme worked my Miss
Mary herself, for Jimmie never lis
tened to stories.
Acrobatic performances, such az
using only one leg of chair, pinching
his neighbor unawares, or tying the
plat of the little girl next to him to
the back of her chair, were all more
desirable forms of entertainment, &C
cording to Jimmie's idea In the
aforementioned chair he at least
seemed safer, and there "-as a bare
chance that he would listen.
"Ah," thought Miss Mary, Il have
found the kind of stories that appeals
to Jimmie. He likes this because the
hero SO bravely overcomes grave diff,
fculties. The high ideals held up have
aroused him I must be careful to
choose this sort of story in the fu-
ture."
She grew more dramatic as she CON
tinued, and the children more tense.
She felt Jimmie's eyes fastened on her
face, and knew that he sat motionless
as he watched her Could it be possi'
BILE that this was to be the turning
point of her career with him? Up to
this time he had seemed hopeless
case. She felt eager to reach the end,
for surely she would get some inter
esting response Never had she seen
Jimmie so interested, and she believed
he would express himself about the
story.
She had become so tense herself In
her interest that there was an audible
sound all around the circle as she said
the last word. Then, oh joy, Jimmie
was going to speak, What would it
be? Perhaps a resolution to be like
this hero, perhaps-but this is what
he really said:
Gee, Miss Mary, that crooked tooth
of yours sure does look ugly when
you talk"

TILLMAN'S STATEMENT

We confess to have beer some
what impressed with the logic OF the
statement OF Senator Tillman recently
In reply to John l.. McLaurin. What
the people are wanting now is the
best service In the office of United
States senator. We have feeling of
impartiality at present. It remains
to be seen on the stump which is the
bigger and broader and better man
for the position. II Senator Smith Ia
presented as man who is not cap
able Of holding the Job. why he should
be succeeded by better man. The
people put tho burden of proof on
Judge Ira B. Jones two years ago, and
we suppose they will again put the
burden OF proof on the man who is
after the man who is in.
Speaking as one who has been gov
ernor and who has been senator, Mr..
Tiilman says that Senator Smith Will
make the better senator. That IS the
opinion cf Senator Tillman. and other
people may make up their respective
opinions later, bnt 1t Is interesting to
observe that although Senator Smith
has opposed Senator Tillman on the
matter of patronage and has won out.
yet the senior senator is supporting
his colleague.
This fs about the first time in Sena-
tor Tiilman's career that he has been
supporter OF his colleague. He was
not enthusiastic about Mr.. Latimer
and was very bitter against Senator
lrby and all know his attitude to-
wards McLaurin. 49,. 49,
This is interesting merely as show
Ing that Senator Tillman approves of
his colleague. But as he also says.

lima to return him to the senate.

ANALY YZED
Sae Provision To Strengthen Sherman Antitrust Law and
Other Acts Against Monopoles and Combinations

Washington, June. G.-The Clayton
Dill, part OF the administration anti
trust program. carries provisions de-
signed to strengthen and support the
Sherman law and other acts against
mo opolies and restraints OF trade
AS framed by administration leaders
and considered by the house the bill
contained:
Prohibitions against prices dis
elimination Ck' arbitrary refusal to
sell natural mineral products, and
against the enforcement Of conditional
leases. or contracts OF sale under
which lessees or purchasers agree not
10 deal IN the products OF comepetltors
OF the seller or lesser; provision that
decrees In suits brought by the gov.
ernment under the antitrust law shall
be hna. evidence in suits brongh
against the defendant by others, In
v0iving the antitrust law; provisions
against holding companies and inter-
locking directOrates In concerns under
the Jurisdiction OF the federal govern
ment; and provisions guaranteeing la
Dor and farmers organizations their
legal existence under the Sherman
law, limiting the use OF the Injunction
in labor disputes and providing fo-
jury trial in cases of indirect con-
tempt Of court.
In addition the bill clears I'D yari-
GUS 1urlsdicti0nal questions and ques-
tions OF procedure which have arisen
In the administration Of the antitrust
laws
The provisions insisted upon by rep
resentativcs of organized labor, and
agreed to after conferences between
them and representatives of the ad-
ministration were looked upon as tho
elimination OF long fight by labor to
secure exemption under the Sherman
law. They provide that nothing in
the antitrust laws shall be construed
to forbid the existence and opera
tion" OF labor and farmers unions.
and that such organizations and their
members shall not be construed or
held to be illegal combinations or
conspiracies under the antitrust
laws" How far the exemption will
extend was matter Of debate in the
house. and many members contended
the question would result in long lit
igation.
The restrictions placed about the is-
suance OF intunctions In the. bill are
close. 1t wouldfprovide tfiat no "pre-
iiminary injunction shall be issued
without notice to the opposite party"
and that no temporary restraining or
