POPPIES FOR LINCOLN WAY.
Last Twenty Miles to be Planted by
California Children.

When the stream of Eastern tour
lists begins to pour into California
next spring over the Lincoln highway
they will pass for mile after mile
between rows of California poppies.
while the Foothill Boulevard leading
into Oakland will be further beauti-
fed with a fringe of blue lupines
which will set off the brilliant yell
low of the poppies.
The work of gathering the poppy
seeds and Of planting them along the
Lincoln highway has been undertak-
en- by the school children of Alame-
da county, under the direction of
Prof. G. c. Smith, of San Leandro,
vice president of the California Bo-
tanical society. The children of the
other counties in California crossed
by the coast-to-coast road are ex-
pected to follow the example.
Most of the seed has already been
gathered, the children having work
ed hard all summer. California pop
pies have been seen by many only in
pictures. Their full glory will be
seen by next years transcontinental
tourist as he drives the last 20 miles
of the wonderful trip through a fra
grant lane of the blossoms.-New
York Times.

TO BURN ACETYLENE.
Will Use Electric Light Wires to Off,
set Copper Shortage.

The scarcity of copper in Germany
is becoming very serious problem.
Evidence of this is seen in dispatches
from Berlin which state that all cop
per telegraph and cable wires are to
be taken down, beginning with the
least important districts, and that
acetylene is to be substituted for cleo
ric lighting.
1t is reported also that the Ger
mans have removed the great bronze
gates at the railway station in ant
werp.
The Frankfort Gazette announces
that the price of copper has :'een
fixed at 235 marks (s5,S75) f." 13
millimeters and the price of a."ml-
mum bars al $40 marks (s9,250} for
100 kilograms-NewY York Sun.

Taking Their Word for 1t.

Pending a political campaign GER
tain manufacturers of Montgomery
county, Pennsylvania, drafted letters
and appointed committees to protest
to the president against the alleged
destructive effects of the Underwood
tariff. The campaign was concluded
and the matter was forgotten. I'm
agine the dismay of the manufactur-
ers concerned when Secretary Red
field takes them at their word and
sends an investigator to look into
the conditions complained of!
Touch their books, look into their
business, see their methods, their
costs, what wages they pay! Hor-
rors! Why, the business already
ruined by the tariff, would be ruined
all over again by exposure of the
trouble. The men who protest loud
est for relief are now loudest in pro-
testing that they wish to be let
alone.
The newly organized trade COM
mission will be, as the president said
in his Indianapolis speech, a sort Of
tariff commission for the gathering
of data for the use of congress.
That. however, is different thing
from a commission devoted to a high
tariff measure. 1t is highly desirable
to tariff benefciaries that one side
of the case be shown, but to show
both sides is Grass government curl
osity and impertinence sufficient to
give chills to all protected manu-
facturers and set in motion all the

Grand Duke Nicholas.

At the feast of the Preobrazhenski
regiment in st. Petersburg, shortly
after the Russian-Japanese war, Sir
Ian Hamilton was watching the great
world arrive, one after another. He
himself was present as distinguish
ed British general Both individual /
" and collectively the Russian guards
officers are a fine lot. But he sud-
denly calculated, by Jove, who's
that" He pointed to towering
figure, at least six feet four in
height, with close-cropped black hair
shot through with gray; short, point
ed Vandyke beard; keen eyes; extra
ordinary length of limb, but lean and
graceful, with exceptional ease and
power in movements magnificent
figure of a man. 1t was the Grand
Duke Nicholas Nikolaievitch. The
grand duke, now commander-in-chief
of the armies of Russia, was born
the year after the Crimean war and
was So last October. But he still
radiates an impression Of easy power
and strength. His grandfather was
the son Of that Car, Nikolas |, whose
physique was famous in Europe.
When a mob gathered in the Sado-
vaya, in those early days, a story
is still current of how the great Car
drove to the scene, got out of his
carriage and strobe out alone, gi-
gantic and threatening, and with
single mighty roar produced a stun
ned silence through which he lectured
the huddled crowd like a stern but
lust father and sent them away,
tanned. His great-grandson inherits
much of his physical power. Although
the military career of the Grand Duke
Nikolas has attracted little attention
outside of Russia, largely because he
has concentrated whole-heartedly on
each phase as he met it, his present
supreme command is nevertheless the
logical result of a consistent rise
through all ranks, not because, but
almost in spite of, his imperial blood.

Arkansas Writes Finis.

Governor George w. Hays, OF Ar
kansas, made the keynote of his mes
sage to the recently assembled legis-
lature of that State, "a square deal
to capital" He urged that guaran-
tees be given to every legitimate
business in the State, as we'll as pros
pective outside investors. The gov
ernor took official cognizance of the
change in sentiment toward the
Transportation companies"
Had not the reliable Associated
Press reported the message we would
have been in doubt as to its accuracy.
Every State in the country, including
South Carolina-has been giving un-
mistakable evidence of repudiating
the demagogue and all his works.
But for the chief executive of State
that has sprouted some of the most
vicious of the tribe, to make the doc
trine a part of his message, is moth
ing short of amazing.
Perhaps, after all, however, we
should not be taken off our feet Dy
such astounding heresy against that
political creed that taught the way
to success was to swat every head
that showed, especially corporation
head" The country has been through
a tedious, a painful and an expensive
period of readjustment. 1t knows
now what it has paid for its orgy of
prejudice, passion and trailing after
false gods. The Arkansas utterance.
considering the source, is tolerably
conclusive evidence that the people
have at last regained perspective and
decided they will be buncoed no long
er-for the present at least.-Atlan-
ia Constitution.

Shorsd Women Propose?

Every little while the time-worn
question Should women propose?"
takes a new lease of life, and the
war of wits wages merrily for a
time.
1t is always taken as huge joke,
not to he considered seriously for a
moment.
Of course women should not pro-
pose, and she never will in the strict
est sense of the world. But if we
only knew the true inwardness OF
many case, l wonder how many
women do indirectly propose.
They do not say, in so many words,
will you marry me-" but they at
tend to all the stage settings and
give the leading man his hue, and
before he realizes what he is doing
he finds himself an engaged man.
Perhaps he never really knows
just how much assistance he has
had.
Some men actual need this prod
ding to bring them to the proposal
point. They hang around the girl
for ages, never getting their courage
up to do the asking, and all the time
keeping other eligible men away from
her.
Who can blame the girl or call her
unmaidenly if she helps such a tar
dy wooer along bit? She does not
propose to him; she simply makes 1t
easy for him to propose to her.
There are some girls, alas! who
practically asks a man his intentions
before he knows them himself.
They are the girls who are not will
ling to accept mere friendship from
a man-with them it is lovemaking
or nothing. That they frequently
end by being old maids does not seem
to be warning to others of their
kind.
A girl cannot expect a man to pro-
pose to her unless she gives him
some encouragement, but there Is q
hoppy medium in lovemaking as In
all other things.
II the man is attentive to a girl and
she likes him, there is no harm In
her showing her liking in a modest,
dignifed way. She need not run
after him, but she can let him see
that she likes to be with him and
that his coming is always welcome.
If she rushes nervously into con-
versation every time there comes a
significant pause in their conversa-
ton, she can defer the proposal in
definitely unless the young man is
a determined wooer.
Centuries of custom have decreed
that women should not propose to
man. 1t is an unwritten law, but a
yerv stringent one. The mere fact
of a woman seeking him would be
enough to send the ordinary man
cantering gaily in the opposite d.
rection.
But many a man is gently propel-
led in a given direction without be-
ing aware of the fact, as long as he
thinks he is doing exactly what he
wants to he is perfectly happy. 1t
is a very tactful woman who can
lead without showing her hand.
Some day, perhaps, when woman
has made so much of place for her
self in the world that she is inan-
cially on a plane with man, she can
propose with the best of them, but
until then she had better be content
with her womanly privilege Of being
sought.
It is more of an honor to be sought
than to sue.
Help things along If you can. do
so modestly and tactfully, but don't
force the situation, and never forget
your womanliness.-The World.

FAIR PLAY MEN
WILL PROTEST
TO PRESIDENT
We Special Session of Con-
ess to Correct Alleged
War Abuses.

BY unanimous vote the Fair Play
League last night voted to indorse a
petition that will be sent to Presi-
dent Wilson in behalf of the organi-
zation. The petition asks that spe-
cial session of Congress be called to
draft resolutions bearing on the neu-
tralty situation in this country aris-
Ing from war conditions in Europe.
The motion to send the petition to
President Wilson was made hssx satto
A. Stiefel, president of the Fan Play
League, Which has gone on record to
the effect that the Washington. adj
ministration has not acted in an i'm
partial manner in the diplomatic af-
fair iealing with the war situation.
1t is stated in the Fair Play
League petition TO the president that
Great Britain has taken an arbitrary
course against American commerce
and is now debating to the United
States and the other nations that
are not at war regarding their mari
time commerce. The action of
Thomas Jefferson, when president,
in putting to a halt conditions SINH
lar to those now imposed by Great
Britain, is commenced in the reso-
luton. 1t is pointed out that the
Fair Play League believes the ex-
ample of President jefferson should
be followed by the present admins
tration.

BUTCHER HELD UP
AND ROBBED OF
S181 IN HALLWAY
Thieves May Be the Same Men
Who Stuck Up"
Grocer.

Although Hyman Gold, 8 butcher,
Of S01 Bank street, reported that he
was held UP by four men in the hall
way of his home early this morning,
he was SO inaccurate in his story of
his experience that the police believe
there is q possibility that there were
only two highwaymen instead of four.
The police think, too, that the hold
up men may have been the two who
held UP and robbed Henry Ring at
the point of gun III his grocery
store, 4s0 Springfield avenue, Wednes-
day night.
Gold said that he had arrived home
at 1880 o'clock, and upon entering the
hallway had been grasped from be-
hind, while a man In front of him
pressed something against his body,
warning him that If he made an out
cry it would cost him his life. At
first Gold said there was two men,
then three and finally acknowledged
that there might have been four, as
the hallway was so dark that he was
unable to discern exactly how many
there really we're.
Stupefied with fright, Gold was
forced to stand still and he was
robbed of $1S1, which he had in his
pocket. The thieves also took gold
watch and chain. The men then ran
out of the hallway.

while the other struck Gaynor on
the head with a whiskey bottle.

Precinct court today that he re-
ceived the cut while attempting to
take the Knife away from one of the
negroes

B. F. Whitehead Wants Com

The Importance Of advertising
Newark by it's city products in con-
nection with the 250th anniversary
celebration was brought to the atten-
ton of the Committee of One Hun
dred at a dinner given by Edward
Shickhaus In the Down Town Club
last night.
Benjamin F. Whitehead suggested
the matter in a talk. lie declared
that local manufacturers should see
to it that the words Made in New
ark" were placed on every article
manufactured, He told how there
were something in the neighborhood
of 2S,000,000 or "a 100000 articles
throughout the county turned out by
his concern, on which this phrase was
stamped. He also said that his firm
was stamping all its goods in that
way.
Newark has been advertised very
largely by the products from Mr.
Whitehead's concern. Their novel
ties have been sent to various parts
of, the world, and Made in Newark
has gone with them. 1T was this
practice which Mr.. Whitehead want
ed the committee to have other
manufacturers adopt.
