Cleveland, o., June 3.-Newcomers
in Cleveland must add to their string
OF abbreviations many words before
they can understand the language
used by Clevelanders. The stranger
glaneing through newspapers in Tom
Johnson's town will run across the
word "muny" at least a dozen times a
day. "MunyY is Cleveland's officially
designated abbreviation of municipal
and everything in Cleveland is mu-
ncipal, for there are "muny" judges,
'muny" bath houses, ''muny' restau-
rants at 'muny' parks and other
things 'muny" beyond estimation.
"Safer" is the official abhreviation for
commissioner of safety, and "taxer
is the commissioner Of taxation. There
are scores of others.

Springfield, ILL.,, June 3.-Is jitney
bus a public utility, and must it have
a certificate of convenience and neces-

This was the question presented to

which today heard arguments in the
case of the Jacksonville Street Rail-
way company against the l.. T. O'Don-
nell Motor company of Jacksonville,
asking to compel the motor company
to come under the commissions con

The petition seeks to put the jitneys
out of business in the state under tnv
commissions policy of supporting reg

stricted competition, the commission
having held that new concerns seeking
to enter the field where there already
is going concern serving The public

reasons why for the public good they
should be permitted to operate.

In Glasgow prosperity is Astounding.
This is accounted for by the enormous
demand in the shipyards and in the
great engineering shops. From Green
ock to the Broomielaw every shipyard
on the Clyde is choked with work. The
banks of the river are a hive of indus
try in shipbuilding and ship repairing
In the great steel works the same
story is told. The guns that are being
forged, the munitions that are being
made, are beyond reckoning in guam
tity and Glasgow has money far in ex-
cess of the days before the war. At
football match played in Glasgow on
the third Saturday of October between
the Celtics and the Rangers about TO-
600 spectators were present. The total
Of the gate money was not published,
but | know that the sum taken was
between $500 and $4,000
OF course Glasgow is different from
other cities, for there a very great
part OF the male population has been
compelled. much against its inclina-
ton, to stay at home for the purposes
OF national industry. Indeed when the
nation began the organization of it's
industry for war purposes great num-
bers of mechanics were brought back
unwillingly from field service to take
their places in the workshops.
Edinburgh Hard Hit.
In Edinburgh, where the law courts,
the university and the rich insurance
and investment companies give so
much employment to highly educated
men, the collapse of investments, the
almost deserted courts and the drop in
the number of students, who prefer
the battle field to the professors lee
lures, have all had an adverse effect.
Life, however. goes on almost as usual.
The theaters and other places Of
amusement are crowded, the restaur-
ants and the tea rooms are always gay
and the streets are filled with military
men. Prince street is thronged by
the same fashionable crowd.

EngIishmen in Regiments.
There are more than Scotsmen in
the Scottish regiments. The stirring
strain of the pibroch and the swing of
the kilt have brought in a number OF
Englishmen. 4 Manchester lad crossed
into Scotland and enlisted in one of
the Highland regiments. He was To-
Gated for months in Inverness and,
much to his disappointment, he did not
get kilt, but was served out with
"trews." Weeks passed and no kits
came along.
Then word came that the regiment
was to be shifted to the south of Eng
land preparatory to crossing to France.
Three days leave was given. The
young Englishman was mortified at
the thought Of returning to Manches-
ter to bid farewell to his friends, not in
the splendor of the kilt but in every
day trousers. He appealed to one of
the sergeants of the regiment After a
great deal of argument the sergeant ar
ranged to lend him a kilt for three
days for a dollar. He left in the train
in great glee and for couple of days
staggered about Manchester in all the
glory of his Highland uniform

on the third day he had such terrible
cold that the doctor ordered him to
bed. The young Englishman joined
