MRS. WILSON'S BILL"

On the afternoon of Mrs. Wilson's death. the senate passed the bill designed to eliminate the in habited alleys and sums of the national capitol in which she much interested It expected that the house would pass the bill the next day, but there it found to contain certain defects.
 The wife of the president had spent much time Investigating sum conditions in Washington and had made many friends among the poorer people. On the morning of the day of her death told the president that her going away would be easier if congress would her bill. She expressed much satisfaction when assured that it should be she desired.
 The bill provides that in the District of Colum- bia dwelling shall be built to front alley which is less than thirty feet wide and which is not supplied with sewer, water mains and gas electric light. Dwellings located not to be repaired after they have depreciated more than half of their original value but be condemned and removed.
 It is further provided by the bill that dwel ing is to be erected less than twenty feet back from the alleys line. This would give thirty feet for the roadway and five feet each side for the walk.
 Mrs Wilson believed and the bill states that the of any dwelling located to violate the pro- visions of the bill is injurious life, health and public morals.

Bibles for the BelIiqerents

Applications from Germany for Bibles and parts of Bibles in German Polish, French and Russian for distribution among soldiers the front have been received by the American Bible Society, and it is said that the German British and French Bible soce ties also engaged in providing the combatants with the Scriptures and parts of them. The aim doubtless, is to fortify every with at least a portion of Holy Writ well with effective means of letting the blood of his fellows.
 Probably the suggestion will be taken. but it would that the selections from the Bible for the of the soldiers should be made with discre- tion. The stern, and of course, highly necessary business of slaughtering another does not seem accord well with certain parts of the Book that the story of Cain and Abel and that list of mands in which the prohibition Thou shalt not kill" up to the Sermon the Mount, and through the very last chapter of the Revelation, there is much that will help steel the heart of the soldier for the work for him.
 The excerpts assuredly ought to be made with the greatest care; and there is good reason for including anything th4 may soften the hearts of the opposing foes for there is plenty of material in the Scriptures that will their purpose well. There accounts of slaughter the annhilation of the Amelekites and the destruction of Sennecharib and his host who melted like in the glance of the Lord
 Stimuli of this character are what the belliger- ents need for their job. Such ideals saughterng half a million of the enemy in a single battle, and dashing the children of their foes against stones, will help nerve them to their task

SHAPE OF PEOPLES HEADS

The study of heads reveals interesting facts One is that the left side the head is almost always larger than the right due it is said, to the universal practice of using tEe right hand than the left. Another curious point is that nationality considerably affects the shape of the head would surely be interesting subject for a biologist to explain why it is that the nearer the equator race lives the rounder their heads become.
 No needs reminding of the round, bullet shaped skull of the but the natter will that Frenchman's head is rounder than an Englishman's and similarly Englshman's rounder than Scotchmans. The average Scots head tapers considerably toward the front, narrows at the tem- ples and becomes square and prominent at the fore head. German heads. the average, are rounder than English, and broader at the back Irish heads. in general are long. like the Scotch but scarcely narrow.-Strand Magazine.

Why There Are Republican Candidates

Voters in Arizona now know pretty well what candidates will be presented to them by the different parties. There may be some slight uncertainty the identity of the democratic candidates for tor and governor, but, generally, the voters think they know from among whom of the leading cand- dates they will have to make their choice. There is doubt who the progressive and the republican candidates will be. It will be enlighening learn why there republican candidates.
 They will go into the without the slight est hope of election. There is probability that they will make as good a showing as the party made two years ago, and that miserable showing. The republicans of some of the counties. dsgusted with the leadership of the party, will ignore the publican state ticket and generally, we assured, will support the progressive state candidates.
 The republican candidates. with the exception of Mr. Hubbell not candidates of their choice. They regard themselves sacrifices the party altar. The word had gone forth from the national republican committee that the party must be represented in every contest however hopeless. The important essential thing to do, is to compass the defeat of the progressive party. There is foolish belief, entertained by the national republican leaders. that the progressive party may be eliminated by defeat. Therefore, the republican party in Ar is working but for result of the election in November the retention of Governor Hunt and his administration. They believe that the success of the progressive ticket would be calamitous to the publican party. They prefer that the calamity should fall upon the state of Arizona
 But do think majority of the voters of the state a majority of the rank and file of the republican party. feels about it the leaders do. and therefore, we believe that pro- gressive governor will be elected next November
