Zanzibar.

Zanzibar, now figuring as a posi-
BILE pawn in an Anglo-German deal,
has not come into the British empire
without paying a heavy price in blood
and treasure. The Island Of cloves
was visited for the first time by the
British feet during the Napoleonic
scare era, but since then we have
kept the upper hand. Very uncompli-
mentary things have been said about
the people of Zanzibar. Professor
Drummond found the island in 1888,
Oriental in appearance, Mohamme-
dan in religion, Arabic in morals-a
cesspool of ~wickedness, fit capital for
q dark continent" But the British
residents appear to have a good time
big dinners, golf, tennis and cricket.
The local cricket team indeed can be
beaten only by the combined strength
of the British fleet, "once a year, and
sometimes not even then"

Radium and It's Manufacture.

Although until recently the manu-
facture of radium has been carried on
almost wholly In France and Ger
many, there appears to be no good
reason why our American Carnotite
should not be treated at home, says
q writer. Carnotite is much more cas-
lily treated than pitchblende and the
essential features of methods for its
chemical treatment are well known.
although much Of the mechanical de-
tail Of operation has been kept secret.
AS the mechanical requirement, how
ever, are those which any well ground
ed chemical engineer should be able
to solve. there seems to be no good
reason why any Of our carontite ores
should be shipped abroad, ever at
two OF three tome the present mar

COULD GIVE EDITOR POINTS
Interview With Mother-In-Law Prob
ably Would Have Made Things
Warm for Mr.. Jones.

At a recent banquet reference was
made to the helping hand, which
recalled to Gov. Frank M. Byrne, Of
South Dakota, an incident that hap
pened in a western town.
One morning a rather commanding
looking woman entered a newspaper
office. and asked to see the editor.
The editor was promptly produced.
In your paper this morning" said
the woman, in a cold. hard voice, you
say that Mr.. Jones is a bride taker. a
swindler, a mud singer and a crook"
1T is a matter of politics, madame"
said the editor, apologetically. II am
very sorry that we were compelled to
make statements of that kind on your
account, for / take it that you are a
relative"
Il am his wife's mother" answered
the visitor, "and / want to say that
you haven't told more than half of
the truth. The next time you want to
publish his biography wish you would
send a reporter to see me."-Phila-

THREE BAGS NOW NECESSARY
Fashion Demands That There Be Sep
arate Accessories for Various
Periods OF the Day.

Three types of bag which the per
fectly equipped woman positively must
have are n for shopping, n for
afternoons and n for fancy work.
The accepted shopping bag is the pam
nier, a slender, elegant affair in finest
pelt-black or colored-kid lined, inset
on n side with q tiny watch and
swinging from a rather broad loop
handle of matching leather.
In afternoon or bridge bags there is
a choice in Powered satin, printed silk.
metallic thread and velvet brocade or
embroidered peau de sole shape. They
are fitted with purses, mirrors and
powder boxes, and they swing from
cordage handles.
The work bag must be dainty
enough for any drawing-room. Gold
and silver brocade is none too good
to contribute to its making and indeed
many stocking bags are wholly of that
material. But the really smart work
bag is Of painted Japanese silk crepe,
attached to a fiat Japanese basket.

Why Willie Was Left.

Mayor Hunt of Cincinnati said Of a
disgruntled politician:
Ellis hands are tied. He can do
nothing. He is like Willie in the
Christmas game of snapdragon-
willie. at a Christmas party given
by his sister, was allowed to partici-
pate in the snapdragon game, and sat
amid a band of beautiful girls of nine
teen or SO.
"The lights went out, the usual
grabbing for favors began, and then,
when the lights were up again, Willie
was to be seen crying bitterly.
What's the matter Willie? Didn't

WASHINGTON. Oct. S.--Revision OF the

late today and preparations made to press
the measure in the senate. Senator Sim

finance committee would present il to the

would dispose or the bill and clear the
way for adjournment.
As the bill was completed by the eau

rectified spirits. and minus the proposed
taxes of gasoline and automobiles, Sena-
tor Simmons estimated that II would
yield annually about Sl06.0O0OOO unless a
slump In beer production euts down the
estimated revenue from that source
The increased tax on beer is expected
TO yield from $4s.OO0.OOO to S4s.0OO0OO, and

The caucus eliminated today a special
tax OF $40 on brokers. cutting cut $4,000

by Senator Lewis OF Illinois resulted in
reduction OF the tax on Pullman tickets
