WAR WILL KILL
HOOKS AND EYES

AS one result of the war the pro-
duction of hooke and eyes has sud-
denly been stopped. or largely cur
tailed, and it is reported that the
entire supply Of these small but ex-
tremely significant commodities has
been bought up" Gays the Provi.
dence Journal. Thus there is an
immediate famine in that line with
che accompanying certainty Of pro.
hibitive prices.
In some ways the outlook thus
produced may somewhat ap-
palling. Upon hooks and eyes, in
present conditions, hangs the whole
stability Of feminine fashion, and
the decorum of civilization is large
ly dependent upon them. And yet
this news of the sudden corner in
the hook and eye market will IN
d~oubtedly be received by thousands
of men with subdued chucklps Of
mirth and qualification.
Among the masculine portion of
society this is far from being q
matter to inspire gloom. The pro-
cess of hooking up"--i. e., effect
ing an accurate conjunction be-
tween sixty-four minute hooks and
their corresponding eyes--has driy-
en- many thousands of respectable
and harassed citizens in the past
years to the verge of nervous pros
tration. The amount of profanity ii
has inspired in men of hitherto
unblemished character and hsbit is
nothing short Of deplorable.
Honest and peaceable man have
been rendered desperate, and very
likely the undermining influences of
hooks ana eyes have been une Of the
chief contributory causes for the
increase of divorce and disruption
of happy homes. Here seems an
spt illustration Of the saying that
good may come out Of evil. The
shortage Of hooks and eyes may
very we'll bring about at least a
particular turn Of domestic tran
guilty.

MAY HAVE BEEN MURDERED

Last week the Times contained
an account of the supposed suicide
Of Ed Brooks ia Smith Valley.
Since the writing Of that account
there are grave rumors to the eff
feet that the tragedy may have
been murder instead of a suicide.
At any rate there seems to be con-
siderable mystery about the mat
ter, and the case will probably be
looked into more fully. There are
circumstances which would lead to
the belief that Brooks did not kill
himself. There was not a powder
mark on the side OF his head where
the bullet entered, which would
hardly have been the case bad the
mpzzle Of the gua been placed
against his head by himself. There
VAS not a particle Of blood on his
clothing and he had on a clean pair
of ~overalls and a jumper which had
no dirt on them. Other circnm-
stances are related which srength-
en- the belief in the minds Of many
that there was fed play. Brooks
and his wife had trouble over an
other man, to whom she is SAID to
have shown too much attention to
suit the husband. Brooks and his
wife lived ON the rsDch owned by
his wife and her brother and rela-
tions between the men folks are
said Ia have been strained. Further
more, young Brooks ives of choer-
ful disposition under all cireum-
stances and his friends and acqaint-
ances believe that suicide would
have been fartherest from his
thoughts in any trouble he might
Of been trying to get out of.-Yer-
