millions had expended in building the city and
terrifying it, and rich promised from this

could gradually extend her sphere of influence and in
time virtually make China German province.
The unforeseen happened. Japan came upon the
scene and Japan is besiegng and bombarding Kau-

splendid outpost would be harder blow to Germany
than that of all the rest of her possessions in the

Whoever has read that delightful
book, 1.-The Autobiography of Tom
boy or it's sequel, 1.-THE Tomboy at
Work." knows the story, in spirit if
not in letter, of the early years of
the life of jeanette Leonard Glider,
whose birthday is celebrated on Octo-
Der g.
She was born and brought up at
ST. Thomas Hall, in Long Island, a
woman's college conducted by her
father The opinion of her elders,
Miss Glider explains in 'The Tom
boy at Work., was that while it is
mans part in the world to work it is
woman's to weep. But not having the
slightest aptitude or inclination for
weeping Miss Glider, when she had
outgrown her childhood, determined
to work like a man. She had no well
defined talent in those early days and
the story of how she looked about
for calling is cleverly told in the
book Somewhere she read that a
great deal of money might be made at
hop growing, but strict aunt re-
mindede her that beer was made of
hops and that it would be wrong to
encourage the making of beer and
so this ambition was nipped in the
bud. The same fate awaited her plans
to raise grapes on her fathers

Referee Adams Solves Problem

Four lawyers were trying to un-
tangle the knotted affairs of the New
Jersey Construction Company dur
Ing a recent hearing in Bankruptcy
Court, and were having little sue
cess. Frank Leslie, of East Orange,
was president of this and several
other corporations. which were
manipulated so that the ownership OF
certain assets was hard to trace to
any company
Leslie was on the witness stand.
He insisted upon referring to deals
made by the New Jersey Construction
Company, or the Roseville Construc-
tion Company. Although he owned
practically all of the stock in these
corporations he never termed the
deals as personal actions of his own.
AS Leslie proceeded the affair seemed
TO become more involved and one
lawyer was frank enough to say that
he could not understand what 1t was
all about
Referee Edwin G. Adams then took
the witness and proceeded to clarity
the situation. Again Leslie attempt
ed to explain how one company
agreed with another company to
| close q deal when the referee inter
rupted with:
'what you mean is that you sat
down and had talk with yourself
about 1t, isn't that right?" asked the
referee. This created a laugh in
which Mr.. Leslie Joined with the rest
Devoid of all legal phrases the ques-
ton seemed to simplify the matter
considerably.

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
How the BesDressed Man in the Senate Managed Clothes

when | first visited washington,
at the time of the Civil War, ! noticed
that every one of the senator's was
dressed in a conventional and very
dignified manner. There were two or
three who wore swallowtail coats. and
| remember seeing q venerable gentle
man sitting upon bench at the rear
of the Senate chamber who, | pre-
sumed was a former senator, who
wore blue broadcloth swallowtail
coat surmounted by a heavy velvet
collar and adorned by brilliant brass
buttons upon each side of the front of
OF the coat as well as over the tails
This statement was made to me by
the late Henry II. Starl5Wether who
for many years represented the East
ern Connecticut district in the lower
house of Congress, district which
was the home of William A. Bucxing-.
ham, who had gained distinction as
Connectiout's war governor. | had
said to Mr.. Starkwether that when ]
visited Washington | had noticed that
Senator Conkling was distinguished
from all his colleagues not only in his
personal appearance, but also because
he wore a sack coat with a waistcoat
and trousers of the same material
which appeared to be a sort of light
coiored Scotch tweed.
Yes" he said, Roscoe Conkling
was the first to ignore the sartorial
traditions of the United States Sen
ate, being courageous enough to APP
pear on the floor of the chamber in a
business or street dress. From some
things that | have heard | believe
some of the older members of the
Senate looked with sad, regretful
eyes upon this violation of the pre-
cedents. You may have observed two
or three senators in swallowtail coats.
If you did, you can feel certain that
they had been attending a session of
the United States Supreme Court, for
there it is deemed the proper thing
to appear before the judges in eve-
ming dress"
Some years later I was speaking Of
this incident to Conkling's warm, per-
sonal friend, the late Colonel George
Bliss. Between Colonel Bliss and
Roscoe Conkling there had been
established in Civil War days init
mate personal and political relations.

ton with Chester A. Arthur, on the

How War Affects Dressmaking

One of the strange and unexpected
results of the European war is a
harmful effect on some branches of
American dressmaking, it seems. A
Newark woman who has been en-
ployed for years by a big New York
house making imported gowns and
costumes at home was summoned to
the office of the concern last week
and told that last years prices for
making the garments would have to
be cut.
For some of the imported" crea-
tions as much as 500 had been
charged, and for these the dress
maker got about 50 for the making
For the present she was told she
would have to be content with SO.
1t was explained to her that the
creations could not be called I'm
ported this year because of the wal
and that the claim they had been
made before hostilities began was i'm
possible because every woman knows
a new style from an old one. Moth
ing remained, therefore, but to call
these American-made gowns and
costumes by their correct names and
charge less for them. Therefore, the
dressmaker would have to stand a
cut.

Few people understand that in the fish sales

The lesson taught by this experiment. which is
no longer an experiment far as its success is

victims of food trusts and middlemens combinations
They have their remedy through their municipal
State governments. 1t is fact that If the State gov
eminent used it's powers for the protection of the
people the forestaer of food and if municipal
ties should actively cooperate food prices could be
kept down to normal figures.
Occasionally a mayor arises to take an active per-
sonal interest in the of the people Mayor

public spirit. But Mayor Haussling is the first
American mayor to go outside of the routine of his
official duties to give the people of his city the oppor
tunity buy fish for their tables at prices that

amount of good 1t is enlightenng host of people

Business interests have manifest interest in the
effort to keep down food prices. When the family
income is absorbed by the food there moth
ing left with which to purchase clothing household
goods or little Injuries. When whole community
is plundered in this way the merchants suffer in

HEALTH AND HAPPINESS
VIRTUE IN WINK. IT SHOWS YOUR
SELF CONTROL.
BY DIR. LEONARD KErNr HrRsHBl
A. B.. NJ A.. M d. (Johns Hopkins).

VIRTUE IN WINK. IT SHOWS YOUR
SELF CONTROL.
Every man, woman and child
should be able to wink. The ability
to make wink convey it's own story
means that the little muscles Of the
eyelids have been educated and are
under the control of the brain.
Even flirting by means OF the
wink has far more of virtue than of
vice attached to it. In any case the
use of the wink is merely the acquisi-
ton of new form of expression and
communication-not new FORM per-
haps, but an added accomplishment.
ANY man, woman or child who has
learned to wink at pleasure has
gained a sharp battle In his or her
war with experience, because each
tiny muscle that acquires a new
capacity for doing things advances
the individuals efficiency.
Naturally, one thinks Of Irritation
as one of the very first considerations
when winking is discussed. But few
of those whose minds are thus di-
rected know that a great scientific
fact underlies the wink that Cholly
Van Dusen casts at particularly
lithesome member of the chorus as
he waits at the stage door.
The wink is a noble evidence OF
muscular vigor. 1t shows expert
facial control It Is an omen of a
sound mind in normal tissues. No
insane man winks. Many of the great
men of science use the wink as a
daily addition to their forms of ex-
preston.
There are times. however, when a
wink is a danger signal that is hung
out as a warning to go and see your
doctor and have some physical i'll
corrected. Such was the case OF a

and embodies them in the materials
and workmanship of the things
which in the using will daily remind
the user of the point. The executive
has no backsliders nor non-contribu-
tors-among his forces, and he carries
on his services, not five or six hours
a week, but fifty or sixty hours. The
administrator at the head of a great
business enterprise stands as the
modern analogue of the tribal chief,
who allotted estates, or of the mas
ter craftsman who preserved tradi-
lions of the art. As he advances
his affairs, backed by staff and oper-
atives, and system and records, and
apparatus, and stock, and working
capital, he resembles commander
at the head of his troops. With such
a relation to his fellow men, the adj
ministrator can no more make good
the claim that his power means only
business, and so get himself hidden
from observation in the moral world,
than a city which is set on hill can
be hid. He must in spite of himself,
be some kind of a shepherd of the
People, His leadership is of many
kinds rolled into one. There rests
upon him the responsibility of trus-
teeship of his capital, leadership OF
his men and craftsmanship In deal

however, was careful about his

his clothes and was prescriptions
about his linen
II know that some who saw MIN IN

careless ease with which he wore his
perfect fitting garments. Now | will
tell you a secret about Conkling
clothes. Although he was always
dressed in perfect taste, his clothes
fitted him WELL and the color and
texture of these garments were al
ways peculiarly adapted to his blond
hair and beard, yet for years Conkling
never visited the tailor shop. A New
York tailor at one. time took Conk-
lings measurements. After that
Conkling did not enter his shop
Twice a year and sometimes three
times, the tailor sent to him three
suits of clothes The tailor made the
selection of the cloth and made up
the clothes from his record of Conk-
ling's measurement. The tailor UNI
derstood perfectly Conkling's taste
and for twenty years this arrange
ment was highly satisfactory on both
sides, and not once did ConklinG,
critical as he was, make any COM
plant. 1t was long time, however,
before other senators ventured to imi-
tate his example of appearing on the
floor of the Senate in garments suit

But for some reason Miss Glider
says her hero always was Benjamin
Franklin, and she desired to be like
this hero of hers more than any ont
else she had ever read about. She
therefore determined some day t,
have something to do with printing
and publishing. And after trying her
hand at several sorts of work her am
bition was realized, for when she was
eighteen years old she went to work
on newspaper in Newark, N. j., with
which her brother was connected. AT
the same time she was Newark re-
porter for one of the large New York
papers, and so her career as news
paper woman began.
Since the time when Miss Glider
served her apprenticeship In morn
ing newspaper she has been one OF
the most prominent women Journal

several years she was dramatic critic
and musical critic of one of the most
prominent New York newspapers, and
with her brother. Richard Watson

900 for Russia and s2,600,000 for Austria,
making daily total of not quite s22,00O,O00 for
those five powers. Part of the discrepancy however,
may be accounted for by the former estimate includ-
ing the regular cost of military establishments in
peace while the latter means only the extraordinary
expenditures of war.
But it is all guesswork best. And it must be
remembered that all this figuring deals only with the

Naturally, the first suggestion is art museum.
Newark has none and in this respect city is be-
hind smaller towns and lacks one of the essential
features of modern city and of the most neces-
sary and important aids to the culture of it's popu-
lation.
We now have the ground of museum An

ing memorial 1t will be and how well it will typify the

hung up in the courts nearly two and half years
and the Appellate Court has just handed down de-

end it. And when final decision is given the Gov
ernor will in all probability pardon the two maefac
tors
