Diary on EATHER Time

Now that women's styles require
that to be up-to-date and beautiful
and able to get into abbreviated gar
ments she must be slim and slender,
the efforts of some to reduce to
specifications remind me of the vain
endeavors of Queen Isabel of Bavaria,
wife of Charles VI.
When she gained more weight than
was agreeable to her, she used every
method she could find to reduce it.
She swallowed eochineal, solutions of
rubies, tsapphires, emeralds and other
precious stones and great quantities
of vile connections ebtainable in drug
stores. Neither these nor her pray
ers or pilgrimages,. however. brought
about the desired result and in 1411,
when she was nearly Al, she was so
heavy and helpless that she could no
longer be transported by the four car
riers of her ''portchaise.
Her inventive genius then came to
her aid and she had four wheels
placed under the chair, thus creating
the rolling chair, the forerunner of
the rocking chair.

Harry Olson, chif justice of the
Municipal Court, with his back to the
wall stood up before the Iroquois
Club yesterday and fought hard to
defend his Municipal Court plan

ney Maclay Hoyne, who denounced it
as the most vicious proposition ever
put. to the voters.
"Only the greatest evil could be de-
rived from this amendment, ;" said
Hoyne. at would open the doors to
blaekmail, extortion, scandalous ac-
cusations and the obstruction of pub
lie justice. Any person could file an
information, charging one with from
murder down. In other words, per-.
sons could first be accused of a crime
by an individual and the justice Of the
charge only investigated afterwards"
Olson said the amendment was in
tended to do with the laws delay
and take away the possibility of some
crooked states attorney hindering
justice.
District Attorney James Wilkerson
has written letter to States Attor-
ney Hoyne endorsing his views on the
new act. Wilkerson, severely con-
dennis the section granting power to
private prosecutors and the tendency
of the judge under the new act to be-
come part of the prosecution rather
than iurist.

egg before breaking, hold it before
a strong light and look directly
through the she'll If the yolk ap-
pears round, and the white surround
ing it clear, the chances are that the
egg is fresh. Or drop it into water;

A railroad track runs directly into the building, so that if desired exhibitors may have shipments sent from any point outside of Chicago directly to the amphitheatre. The build ing has pra ctically unlimited electric power. which will enable exhibitors to show their machinery in operation.

FrilIs on Frenzied Finance

 When Ralph A. Graves went out ahead of Damaged Goods' last August, he de- cided to sell outright a wonderfully con- structive piece of junk which, he fiat tered himself. was motor car. One of his friends had described this distorted mechanism thus:
 Its good thing to have, Ralph if you can't afford an au-omobile.'
 4,nother friend bought the mechanical wonder for $3oo and wound up the trans action as follows
 Now. Ralph, I've given you 1850 for this machine. and you've agreed to let me have 1t for that on time That s very good. very good Now, l have the machine as collateral for a loan. You lend me $lO0 and I'll give you a lien on the machine to insure payment.

VILLA USES MOTORCYCLES
 ON THE BATTLEFIELD

In order to have moro ef1cIeht nesstIi- ger service on the battlefield, Gen. Fran cisco Villa, the Mexican rebel leader, has adopted motorcycles for the use of his army messengers. Villa realizes that quick messenger service often decides a battle and has determined to leave noth- ing undone to make this service the best possible. He says that with the four mo- torcycles now in use, he is able to keep in closer touch with the various divisions of his army than ever before. Then. too. the motorcycle is not so easily brought down on the battlefield as is a horse.
 Most every country has equipped it's army with the two-wheeler, but Mexico is the first to be able to make practical use of 1t and test it's efficiency in actual ha file

HOPES THE NEW TAXI
 RATES WILL BE PASSED

q sincerely trust that the city com. missioners will act favorably on the new table of taxicab rates said Henry l. Jenkins of the Jenkins Taxicab company yesterday. "as the cid rates are oppres- sive both to the owner and the patron of taxicabs. The commissioners have prom ised us relief and hope that at the meet ing Tuesday something is done in the matter.
 Spring is here and the fever to go aa- tomobiling is with us. There are many who cannot afford a motor car. yet who can afford L spin on Sunday afternoon and it is for these patrons that the new taxcab rates will be most popular. 1t means that at a low expenditure one can take out his family for a ride through the country these pleasant Sunday after moons and really enjoy life without going broke
 Another feature about the new taxi cab rates Is that it will also greatly ef- feet baseball fans fin that it provides a low rate for parties to Redwood Field. I expect that this will be a popular fea- ture and that my Cadillac and Packard cars will be kept going all the time'

have not, of course, been completely worked out at this early date, it can safely be said that the meeting will not only include the greatest exposition of machinery. materials and methods of road and street construction and maintenance ever made. but will also be the greatest meeting of men directly connected with the construction of roads ever held in the world The programme will be so ar- ranged as to bring together the leading authorities and experts on road building in the United States and Canada. It is also planned to make the exhibition of the greatest educational value, and to this end there will be introduced features which will be of very great interest and practical value to delegates and guests. The exhibits will include those of the diff ferent states and of leading cities, be- sides many engineering and scientific schools and colleges.
 The officials of the association having the matter in hand express themselves as highly gratified by the enthusiasm for the meeting evinoed by leading citizens and public officials of Chicago and by the state highway officials. not only of Illi- nois, but Of other states and especially those near Illinois.

PROTECTED ELK TAME
 AND WILL BE MOVED

Because herd of wild elk which the | state of Wyoming two years ago removed from the Jackson Hole country to the
 Laramie Peak district decline to continue
 wild. the animals are to he moved to d less popuous locality, where they will | find no haystacks and. therefore, will have to rustic for living, says a Chey- enne Wyo. special to the St. Louis Glooe- Democrat.
 This herd, numbering 66 animals is in an enclosure on the ranch at Glendo ot Deputy State Game Warden Allan Laugh | lin.
 The states experience with the Lara mic Peak herd, and a similar experienced with the forestry officials are having with | a bunch of elk transplanted from the Jackson Hole district to the Sundance antional forest, has demonstrated that the movement to repopulate ancient elk ranges with such animals cannot be pop ular, because there are many settlers on such ranges who object to having feed tlty have stored for live stock raided and acNoured by elk
 The elk, protected by stringent game
 laws, quickly become devoid of fear of
 man and decline to be driven from mead
 ows and haystacks.
 'I have tried In every way to make the Laramie Peak elk stay wild,' said War den Mclaughlin this morning, but they decline to be impressed. I have run them hard and pursued them with dogs in at l tempts to make them leave the settled country and stay in the mountains. but no matter how hard I ran thenb they all ways would return, generally within P hours to the lower country.
 Those now at my ranch are as tame as cattle.
 Because the Laramie Peak elk cannot
 be induced to be wild they are to be m. |. n I f.t1 miles west of Laramie Peak, and there will be liberated in a thinly settled sec tion in which there are no haystacks There they may roam at will without raiding or damaging private property.
 The only other occupants of the section they will encounter will be occasional herds of sheep
 Years ago, before the coming of the railroad, there were many elk In the Wolton district, which Is about 200 miles southeast of Jackson Hole, the section from which the Laramie Peak herd was transported
 Whether the herd will attempt to go back to it's old range Tn the mountains surrounding Jackson laKe where there, are 40,000 of their kind is causing interest," ing speculation in the state game depart ment.
 The movement of the herd from Glendo to Wolton will be made as soon as snow is off the ground. Twenty-four of the G6 elk in the Lara mic Peak herd were born after their mothers were brought from the Jackson Hole district. These young elk are even tanner than their mothers and are utterly devoid of either fear or respect for man.
