Indianapolis News.

FROM the Indianapolis News.
Some one has noticed that women in
the larger cities have bigger feet than
women have who live in places of less
population. This report is favorable to
indianapolis at present, but the fear may
well be entertained that, as our popula-
tion increases, the female pedestals here
will expand This brings up the ques-
tion whether the campaign for increa sed
population should go on, whether the in
crease in population and in business will
be sufficient compensation for the loss in
beautiful ankles and in dainty feet. The
reason given for this undesirable foot
development with it's accompanying clum-
siness, is that it comes with crowded
streets and that the pedestrienne goes
about in throngs in a constrained way
with her feet hampered and unable to OBJ
tain their proper movement. She cannot
put back her shoulders, swing her arms
and take a good, healthy stride, but
must hobble along most awkwardly with
as little poetry of motion as a goose on
its way to the pond 1t was an Irish
man, doubtless, who, commenting on the
ugly feet of the women of London, con-
trasted with their good looks, said "The
London women's feet do not come up to
their faces"

consumer unless he happens to be the
kind of man who could get along with
that kind of a woman.
II know this to be true. because l have
traded one of my refractory ties with
friend for one he could not handle and
we had no trouble with the matter the ex-
change. Now and then, though. you come
across one that simply will not tie right
and neither you nor any man can sue
ceed with 1t. That kind, fancy, is made
by some crank of an old maid who is an
old maid because she has such DISPOSE
ton that even the matrimonial tie cant
properly adjust itself to her.
The man before the glass took off the
tie and passed it over to his psychic
friend.
Suppose you see what YOU can do with
it, he said.
The visitor was accommodating, and
behold, he tied it as smoothly and nicely
as though his best girl had made it for
him.

CAN'T LOSE JOHN ID.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Mother Necessity rides with whip and
spur. No matter how impossible the gulf
may yawn, nor how high the barrier may
rear it's head. she finds a way. Down
comes the lash and the "sting of the
roweled STEEL" as Kipling says, arouses
the jade to the needed effort.
I'm thinking of railroad ties. For a
time back / was afraid that all trains
would take to the fields for lack of any,
thing whereupon to lay a track. But
Mother Necessity came along and tried
steel ties, but they didn't do very WELL
Now she boils the wooden ties in oil and
adds 200 per cent to the years Of every
one.
When you recall that the American rail-
roads need many million ties each year,
this simple little trick of oil becomes an
immensely important matter. In reality.
the ties are not boiled in oil. but oil is
forced through them under high air pres
sure.
Mother Necessity couldn't let us all
walk, even If in one more matter she
does seem to play into the hands of your
Uncle John d. Rockefeller.

A WORD TO THE WORM
From Life.


In view of DIR. Anna Shaw's call to all
suffra gists to resist the income tax as
SCISSOR to the death, thus insisting upon
the great principle of no taxation without
representation, would it not be we'll for
all men to combine against milliners?
At present the majority of married men
have to pay exorbitant prices for the
imported models of hats their wives wear
and they have no adequate representation
in any millinery establishment. Indeed
they don't even dare step inside. This
is all wrong and against the fundamen-
tai idea of our government ordained,
promulgated, fashioned and originated
by our forefathers. Every milliners shop
should have at least one man model who
will have the opportunity to try on every
thing and parade before the customers
At present American husbands pay enor-
nous sums, variously estimated at from
enc to two hundred millions a year, for
articles over which they have no control
No man is permitted to set the fashions
in women's hats. IL any man suggests
that his wife is paying altogether too
much for these articles he is promptly
sat upon.
Men of America, now is the time to rise
up; no willow plumes, ai2rettes, velvet
spars, flower gardens, jets without
male representation.

ORIGIN OF posToFEIcE NAMES

From the Tacoma Ledger.
The history of the origin of postoffice
names affords many amusing facts. Not
a few of the names grow out of blum
ders in writing or spelling. The postoffice
department presumably hasn't the time
to conduct special investigation in every
neighborhood, so it often jumps to con-
clusions or draws upon the Imagination.
In the Princeton Press of West Virginia.
we find curious instance of name con-
ferred upon a postoffice, because of an
error in one letter of petition. There
is a district in that state known as Hill
Top. When the people of Hill Top de-
eided to ask for a postoffice a petition
was drawn up and forwarded to WASH
ington City. The writer was not careful
to dot the i'' in Hill. Instead he made
a sort of loop that was interpreted as an
'e.' Call postoffice Hell Top?" That
would never do. 1t shocked the agents
OF Uncle Sam. But they thought they
would comply as closely as possible with
local sentiment. so they named the post
office ''Tophet." Tophet was a hill OH
which the refuse of Jerusalem was
dumped and burned. The fires were al
most continuous, and hence Tophet came
to signify hell or a place of endless per-
dition. Many postoffice names are dupli-
Gated, but West Virginia boasts of having
the only Tophet in the land. What diff
ference one letter of word makes in his
tory, 1t Is said that Nome, Alaska got
its name from the fact that the "a" of
the word name was misinterpreted for
an 90" At that, it is a very impressive
name,

The Hour of Democracy

So far the democratic party has
not made one false step in its onward
march since it's restoration to power.
But there is danger that the party's
strength may be its weakness, and
eternal perspicuity is essential there
fore to escape the snare and guard
against the pitfalls which beset it.
1t will not do to assume that the
placing of the party in government
control in 1910 and 1912 was the re-
suit Of a sudden conversion of the
country to democratic tenets. The ma
tion was tired of republican domina-
ton and it was willing to accord de-
mocrscy trial.
The opportunity to make good now
lies at its door and so far it has
not failed to avail itself Of that OPP
portunity. However, every sign Of the
times must be given due consideration
and a moral drawn therefrom. One of
these signs is the result of the recent
election in the Second congressional
district of Iowa.
That district was so jerrymandered
as to throw all of the states demo-
cratic counties in one territory and
that it went democratic was to be eX-
pected. But Iowa is likewise the home
OF the insurgents, one of the bulwarks
of the progressives, and the late re-
turns show that the two factions are
again getting together.
The democratic vote was plurality
of less than two thousand and the pro-
grcssive strength was represented by
something under four thousand votes.
1t is alleged that the result was
brought about by agricultural dissat-
isfaction with the new tariff, but the
allegation comes altogether from re-
publican sources. The President has
indicated his willingness to have the
tariff altered where it is evident that
such alteration is eXpedient but he
wishes it to be first thoroughly tried
out.
The country has faith in democracy.
1t has made good it's claims and dem
onstrated it's competency. With fidel-
ity OF purpose, honesty of faith and a
wary surveillance upon the enemy it's
paths should lead to wider fields of
victory and renewed entrustment of
power.

"LOHENGRIN, ron -FOUR CENTS

London.-The Royal Victoria hall,
Waterloo road, known to its older fre-
quenters as the "Old vic." is practically
the only theatre in the world in which
the poor man can enjoy grand opera. The
artists, often very well known ballad and
operate singers, offer their services vol

1t is found that the por men with their
cents are capable Of artistic appreciation
and nearly 1000 of them have attended
each weekly performance this season. In
the future grand opera will be given twice
weekly instead of once, and on the re-

Guarding Works of Art

Night is an eerie time in the Louvre.
Two police dogs and 179 custodians
are there to protect the treasures of
art from thieves and burglars. The
night watchmen traverse a territory
in their rounds of no small extent.
They travel a distance of approxi-
mately four miles and there are time
clocks which show whether or not the
rooms have been inspected and how
often. Armed with revolvers and car
rying dark lanterns, these guardians
are supposed to search every nook and
corner of the Louvre, SO that there
may be no chance for robbers to con-
6eal themselves and at an opportune
time make way with some master
piece worth kings ransom. In ad-
dition to these precautions, the most
valuable works of art are kept under
lock and key at night and the Venus
de Milo is protected by an iron shut
ter that rises from the floor.
And well may such efforts be made
to guard the Louvre against despolia.
tion. The history of the institution
shows that the most elaborate precau-
tions have not daunted skillful burg
lars, for many robberies have oc.
Cured. Since "Mona Lisa" was stoler
more care than ever has been exer.
cised in guarding the treasures con-
tanned in the Louvre, a fact which is
Of interest to all lovers of art. Such
institutions belong not only to the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-02-20

government that maintain them, but
to the whole world as well. The man
who steals famous picture or some
other noted work of art and hides it
from the public view commits crime
against humanity and there are more
radical art lovers who say that the
rich man who buys a picture to hang
in his private art gallery and gloat
over in secret is guilty of the same
offense.

Birmingham win Probably Win

Ever since the hearing before the
federal reserve bank organization
committee in Atlanta last Saturday
Birmingham chances for securing
one of the banks have seemed un-
usually good.
President w. p. G. Harding of the
Chamber of Commerce presented Bir-
mingham's claims and explained the
situation with such clearness and force
that disinterested onlookers said the
"region" blocked out by the Birming-
ham financier was the only logical
grouping of states for this section.
The more the problem is considered
the more likely does it seem that Bir-
mingham will secure one of the fed
eral reserve banks. 1t now seems
practically certain that Mr.. Harding's
region will be accepted. 1t will be
self-sustaining, and that fact will be
compelling when compared with other
proposed districts in this part of the
south. And when the authorities at
Washington approve of the Harding
lines the natural thing for them to do
will be to select Birmingham as the
bank city, because, among other
reasons, it is geographically central
and is conspicuously railroad
center.
The governing board which will
have charge of the federal reserve
bank system will be, it is believed, fully
constituted shortly. Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo and Comptroller
John Shelton Williams will be eX
officio members and as they have
been over the ground thoroughly
their views with regard to districts
or regions will have great weight.
While they are not giving out any
intimations as to the cities that will
be selected for the reserve banks
the testimony is so strong in favor
of this town for one of them that a
prophet of any successful experience
would feel safe at this time in bet
ting on Birmingham.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-02-20
Death VS.. Fame and Fortune

1t has become almost stupid to pre-
dict that any hazardous undertaking
to which the American mind devotes
its consideration is beyond the pale
of possibility, and yet the declara-
ton of Orville Wright that a trans
atlantic trip by aeroplane is at the
present time impracticable should
command serious reflection.
The trouble is not that such an
achievement will never be accom-
plished,. for all signs point to its
feasibility in the future, but that fly
ing machines will not be sufficiently
perfected to make the flight by the
time of the Panama-Pacific eXposi-
ton.
To win the prize of 100000 by
sailing around the world in an aero
plane the journey must be completed
in 60 days, and this necessitates a
daily average Of 200 miles, and no
such combined speed and enduring
qualities have as yet been accom-
plished by an aviator.
Unfortunately the southern route is
not to be considered in girdling the
globe on account of the width of the
Pacific ocean, and even by the north
ern route the water distances are of
length excelling the record so far
established for continuous long dis
tance flying.
AS this record is about 700 miles
there, theoretically, is no trouble to
be apprehended in the passage from
Greenland to the Faroes owing to the
fact that Iceland halves the distance
into stretches of 45O miles each. The
jump, however, from Newfoundland
to Ireland would cover 1900 miles; no
aeroplane of such recognized motor
power has yet been constructed, and
whether such an one can be devised
and tested by May, 1915, the time
for the starting of the race, is ex-
tremely problematical.
Then, equally menacing as the dam
gers of the deep are those of an inhos-
pitable, unknown and uninhabited
land region that must be traversed
| by the racers. No conveys with pro-
visions and equipments can follow
them over land and accident or de-
terment there means death.
In the sensational flight Of $3.50
miles from Paris to Carlo by Vedrines
the daily averge was just 100 miles,
and the journey consumed a month,
yet in just three times that period the
Pacific Aero club and the exposition
authorities expect the girdling of the
globe to be accomplished. Still, with
fame and million dollars to be
gained there will not be found want
ing those willing to risk death for
their gaining.

Business Growing Brisk

Chicago is always a busy city, no mat
ter how conditions may be in the country
at large, but recently business activity
has seemed to be more in evidence than
for some months past" said John Shirley
of the lake metropolis.
Business men see that a new era of
prosperity has set in, and that 1914 will
be year of new high records in some
districts at least If we have another
year of fine crops business will certainly
boom all over the country The south is
said.to be more prosperous now than ever,
and as this is quite large section its
prosperity naturally helps the whole
country. Southern cities have been grow
ing steadily, and in the next census there
will be many agreeable surprises just as
there were in the last"
