 Warlike Incidents
 Along the Arstro-Italian border, across which the opposing forces are acng each other, there have been warlike incidents Austrian soldiers are reported to have crossed the frontier at several points and to have been pursued by Italians Baron Burian von Rajecz, the Austro- Hungarian foreign minister, yesterday handed to the Italian ambassador at Vienna note expressing painful sur prise" at Itay's decision to terminate the triple alliance and declining to shoulder the responsibility for the conse- quences that may arise from this pro cedure.'
 Paris was again subjected last night to an aerial attack. A German aeroplane dropped three bombs while passing over the city.
 Fighting in the west has subsided once more. official communications from Paris and Berlin deal with only small engagements, with the principal activity near the western end of the line in the vicinity of Neuve Chappelle and Lorette. Both the French and the German war of- fees claim slight progress.
 British Make Progress
 The British commander-n-chief, Field Marshal Sir John French, says that the British forces have made further progress in the vicinity of Festubert, France.
 In Galicia the Austro-German advance is proceeding less rapidly than during the spectacular sweep westward from the for tress of Cracow to the San river, bu. apparently the Russians still are being pushed back.
 An official communication from Vienna states the Austrans are gaining ground slowly each day along the San, and that in southern Russian Poland the Russians have been compelled to retreat.

EXPLAINING SONGS OF BIRDS
Beautiful Notes Of the Nightingale,
for Instance, Are Inspired by
Paternal Love.

It Is generally assumed that bird
sings because he is happy, but sci
ence goes deeper for an explanation
of the why and wherefore of the
bird song. Natures optimistic JOY
in constructive progress is expressed
in the singing OF the male birds who
charm their mates to further their
wooing, and continue after eggs are
laid to encourage the fulfllment of
Matching,
The song stops when the little birds
come out of the shell. The nightin-
gale for weeks during the period of
nest-building and Matching, charms
his mate and human ears near him
with the beautiful music of his love
song But as soon as the little night
ingales come from the eggs the song
changes to a sort of cultural croak,
implying anxiety and sense of respon.
sibillty.
If the nest and contents were de-
stroyed the nightingale would at once
resume his beautiful song to inspire
his mate to help him build another
nest and start all over again the low
ing work of being fruitful and multi
plying,

Truth About the Tariff.

When imports fall off or cease, the
tariff, as a means of raising money,
breaks down. The war almost stopped
our purchases from Europe for weeks,
and even now is reducing them to the
lowest notch. In January, 1915, the
last month for which government fig
ures are available, imports we're $685.
370,6O6 less than for the same month
year ago, a decline which, If kept
up for year, will lop $3S7,691,272
from the traffic paying duties.
The highest tariff in the world is
useless as revenue producer under
such circumstances If this govern
ment were depending on the tariff
alone, it would have to sell bonds ev.
cry month to make up the deficit
caused by the dislocation of the
worlds trade.

dldate of the Republican party in

CURB IS NECESSARY.
Need Of Government Regulation
Generally Accepted.
Proper Control Of Great Trusts and
Railroads. There Must Be, and
People Trust Democratic Party
With the Arduous Task.

1t is an encouraging fact that most
Of the men directly concerned cordial
ly accept the principle of government
regulation of common carriers and
large industrial corporations Even
those who we're disposed to rebel at
first changed their attitude and be-
gan to adjust themselves to twentieth
century conditions. The protest Of the
reactlonary in this respect is now
seldom heard.
In the early days of this country's
development when transportation lines
were pioneering, railroads were built
and operated mechanically. In the
manufacturing field monopoly had not
reached great magnitude and, there
fore, was not much reckoned with by
legislative bodies. The railroads were
In politics and they made no effort to
conceal the boldness of their lobbying
enterprises.
Under protective tariff the indus
trial trusts grew powerful, and there
was almost no limit to the water
that some Of the railroads and some
of the manufacturing combinations
could put into their stock.
But at length leading men in both
the old national parties came to feel
that the trusts must be curbed and
the railroads regulated. The rapid
increase in the population of the Unit
ed States and the marvellous expan
sion of every material activity had
wrought great changes in business
conditions and with these changes had
come new problems and larger trend
of the public conscience. No real
statesman or wise man of affairs hest
tated to admit that the old order must
give place to new. The progressive
spirit was dominant, but 1t was in the
Democratic party that progressivism
was most at home. Progressive ten
denotes sprang naturally from party
that came down from Jefferson and
that had long been committed to 9

of Just what food is there in left

be used in any one Of the next three
meals; maybe the outside stalks of
celery are there which will make fine
cream of celery soup for luncheon or
dinner. Now plan and write out on a
card (Which is kept in your card index
back of menus) each of these menus,
and on another slip write the neces-
sary grocery order; at the same time
see If any of the staples, such as sugar,
tea or coffee, rice, ETC., must be re-

If you know exactly what is wanted
once or twice, or even three times a
week, this order can be telephoned; at
other times it is necessary to go to
