BURLINGTON Dealer Says That Families
are Much Smaller Than
Formerly.

There are less baby carriages sold
today than ten years ago according to

the subject the dealer said: Once
there were ten and twelve children In

AUTO DEALERS
CATER TO WOMEN
Giyinq More Attention to Their De-
mands Than Ever
Before.

Dealers handling gasoline cars In
the last few seasons have found 1t
more and more to their profit to de-
vote increasing attention to women.
Women appear to be casting the de
Gliding vote on which car" Women,
with the electrifcation Of gasoline
cars, are being won over from the
electrics as pleasure cars. More
women are driving gasoline cars this
summer than ever before and with
tho more complete electriflcation OF
the gas driven cars by the perfectins
Of the electric gea shift, which elm
mates still further any eed Of mus
cular effort by the driver, the bigger
gasoline car dealers fall campaigns
for feminine favor for their particular
cars.
The growth Of popularity of the gas
oline cars. with women drivers, can
practically be gagged by the progress
of their electrifcation. First came
the electric lights. which did away
with the troublesome lighting Of
lamps, then the electric starter that
eliminated the need of well developed
bfceps to turn over a balky motor, as
well as the dangers OF iback-fre. Next,
electric recording devices were estab-
lfshed. and now the success OF the
~nerfect electric gear shift appears
assured.
With each OF these steps has come
increased popularity with women
motorists and there is every reason

to believe that with this last and
greatest step so far, the increase IN
popularity will be in proportion. The
seIf-starter really brought the gas
car into class Of those the average
woman could drive without assist
ance. but for every time the motor Is
cranked the driver has to go through
the physical work OF shifting gears
two dozen times. With many women
this has been a real drawback to
driving as they find it difficult to
master the physical movements, eth
er the reach Is too great or the bend
ing movement necessary is interfered
with by the clothing. With these OBJ
iections swept aside this fall, women

good care will supply a family for

Consequently with the fragile cabs

Representations have been made to
Brazil through American Ambassador
Morgan concerning the status of the
American vessel, the Robert Dollar.

Gals declared. however. stated that
the British consul has waived his OBJ

1t was pointed out that it was I'M
likely that complications would arise
from the situation between the United
States and Brazil, for the matter really
rested between the United States ana
England.

that Brazil would do SO in the absence
of objection from the nation concerned.

Pets of the City.
rom the Milwaukee Journal


The other day we saw a young man
feeding some pigeons in Juneau Park.
And We thought of the pigeons of st.
Marks. in Venice, that have pleased
many thousands of persons who have
visited that famous church. No one
would think of going to Venice with
out feeding the pigeons. These have
no fear. alighting on ones shoulders
and eating from his hand. The con-
iidence they show, their faith in hui
/ man kindness, their knowledge that
they will be cared for and never
harmed, delight every lover of the
birds. And they are just common
pigeons, such as We know, with the
same homely colors, the same soft
cooling note.
Why should we not make our pigeons
guests OF the city as these birds are:
| Why should they not be petted and
cared for, to become source Of de-
light? A little watching of mistaught
boys and wandering dogs, a few
crumbs which would not litter the
park because the pigeons would keep
it neat, few shallow pools, like those
! of Boston common, and we should
| have the added resource Of these birds
| to brighten the city and add variety
and show that our feeling reaches
| beyord high buildings and handsome
avenues. Surely this is one thing that
would add to the city's treasure at no
real cost and bring delight to many.

Buenos Aires.
From the New York Evening Post.

From the New York Evening Post.
The third American city is no longer
Philadelphia, but Buenos Aires. Ac-
cording to it's corrected census the
South American metropolis now has a
population of 100000. Forty-five
years ago. when the first census was
taken. the population numbered IT,
600. This record of growth may do
more to interest US. not only in Argen-
tina, but also in the South American
republics in general. than anything in
the way of commercial opportunities
has yet been able to do. In some re-
spects Buenos Aires is better than
third among cities of the western hem
isphere, as in tonnage and value of
foreign commerce, in which she is
second only TO New York. That she
possesses the finest theater on either
continent. as well as the best appointed
newspaper plant and the most artistic
street. is a fact that We shall still be
slow to recognize. But when we read
the statement, "Buenos Aires is to
have another subway" we are COM
PEELED to admit that there is a spirit
OF enterprise in the South American
capital that We had fondly thought of
as peculiar to ourselves.

Tonic of the Open Air.
From the Scranton Tribune.


There is no better. more invigorating
tonic TO the man who is compelled to
labor within doors than sunlight and
the open air. This is particularly true
of the green fields and the wooded dis
tricts of the country where the air,
waited across great open stretches, is
particularly pure and bracing.
Therefore, the men laboring with
brain or hands. or both. in cities. should
avail themselves of every opportunity
to HE themselves to the country, or if
they cannot do that. to the breathing
places of the city where the air is bet
ter than along the crowded thorough
fares and where the sunshine meets
with fewer distractions.
Most men, these days, when compe-
titicn in all lines of industry and trade
is keen daily are living a strenuous
Life, putting forth their best energy,
straining such talent as they possess
to accomplish results. When they feel
the strain is too great and near the
breaking point. they should seek the
tonic which instinct prescribes.

Difficult for Average American.

1t has been pretty tough lately on the
sidewalk strategy boards since the in
lection into the news columns of the
papers of the United States of such
names as these. The average American
seems unable to even get started on
making any sound or series of sounds
that will convey to his listener just
what place he is referring to. Take
Przemysl, for instance, which has fig
ured prominently in recent dispatches.
The usual stab at this one seems to be
something like "Premizzle" or else 1t
is casually passed over as That place

But, like Welsh words, they are
really not SO bad as they look, after
the Us have been turned into US and

a clue for the readers of The Star

the imperial Russian embassy, for
none of them happen to be in the city
at present, but reporter found an
official in one of Uncle SANS depart
ments who is the master of any Rus
sian or Polish word that ever emf
grated over the cables to these shores,
and they know it. They just lie down
and put up their paws appealingly
when brought into his presence. His
eye glances at row of letters that
resemble the result when you go right
down the line on a typewriter to see
which letters need cleaning, and when
his lips give them forth again they
would never be recognized.

Fame Short Lived.

From the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
New York city is disgracefully indiffer-
ent to the fame and memory of Alexan-
der Hamilton. He was easily the great
est man among those who lived and
died as citizens of Manhattan But
there is no worthy monument of him
here. a granite statue stands in Cen
trail Park, to be sure. but it is inferior.
Nobody knows about 1t. Not one of
the great avenues or squares here bears
the name Of Hamilton. Extremely little
notice is ever taken of Ha miltons tomb
or of any anniversary with which his
name is connected. The place of his
residence on Convent avenue ard Hist
street has been obliterated by apart
ment buildings. And now his beautiful
old home is being allowed to fall to
pieces. The lower portion OF the wooden
pillars on either side of the porch of
Hamilton Grange has rotted away and
the pillars hang pa.hetically in the air.
The old house is simply tunbling to
pieces.

MARINE RISK BUREAU
GETS MANY REQUESTS
Expected American Shippers Will
Ask Damages for Delays
From Seizures.

Although in existence less than two
weeks. the federal marine war risk in
surance bureau has had requests for
$S,O00.0O0 insurance on American hulls
and $1.50o,000 on cargoes. r..
Advices to the State Department
show that in many cases the British
government already has released car
goes of American goods seized in bel
ligerent vessels at the time of the
declaration of war. Many such cargoes
have been forwarded to their destina-
tions.
1t is expected that American ship
pers will ask for several million dol
lars in damages for delays caused by
seizure, but the State Department will
not take up this question Immediately.
When, the war broke out the Ameri-
can government declared it would not
consider cargoes then on the high seas
liable to seizure or adjudication in
prize courts. Sir Edward Grey imme-
diately appointed committee to han
die the situation, and since then cases
coming under this class have been
identity of such cargoes, which have
not been regarded as prizes.
If damages are asked for by the
United States for the delay by seizure,
it has been suggested that shippers
must face the fact that under inter-
national law ships sailing at any time
do SO with the risk of being exposed
to conditions arising from possible
declaration of war while en- route.
