WrscoNsINls ANTI.TIP LAW.

After having tried out many laws
for the purpose Of proving its effec-
tiveness to its own satisfaction, which
has by the way been carefully watch
ed by the other states Of the union,
Wisconsin has now come to the front
with an anti-tipping law which car
ries with 1t q penalty of from IS to
SIS for both the gfver and the receiver
of a tip. It is not the first state to
take such action, but 1t Is going to
have the opportunity Of showing how
it can be enforced and how it is going
to be possible for a state to prevent
the handout between those who are
thoroughly in sympathy with the idea
of tipping.
Its sole result would appear to be
in the enforcement Of the employer
to abolish the system, pay their en-
ployes a proper wage and stand as
firmly against its violation as does
the law. This method is already in
vogue in many hostelries, tipping be-
ing absolutely prohibited under as
surance that if there is a violation of
the rules 1t will meet with dismissal.
Such can have only q beneficial re-
suit. It means relief to those who
have no sympathy with tipping, but
who are forced into it by the prac-
tice of others and by the inducement
which the tipping system holds out to
the employe to insist upon that method
of getting his weekly wage. and as
much more as is possible.
Wisconsin is likely to have some
fun in its endeavor to enforce its de-
sire to bring about a needed reform
but if it results in combining tipping
to those who have the coin to throw
away and removes the pressure from
those who are unalterably opposed tc
it but cannot dodge it without insult
it will serve long felt need.

BULWARK OF STRENGTH.

From the work which has been ac-
complished under the system of jul
venile courts and that which has been
handled in the city of Denver under
Judge Lindsey the whole country is
Interested in the result Of the last

court There have been big demon
STATIONS both for and against the
Establishment of the court, but the CHI

had been passed by the legislature and
which would have terminated the ex-

the governor. 1t alone was an i'm

are working for better things in that

TO REPAIR WALL PAPER.

In many houses there are often left
odd lengths of wall paper, and these
should be carefully preserved. Dam
age may be done when moving in, or
later; chair may be pushed roughly
against a wall, and there is a bad tear.
Get a piece of the paper, scallop the
edges quite roughly, and paste it over
the place. The mend will be unnotice-
able.
But if the house is not new and the
paper faded the contrast is startling.
In that case put piece of the spare
wall paper out of door in the sun for
two or three days. Dampen it occa-
sionally. All that is needed is expos
ure.

ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS.

1t is welcome news that artificial
flowers are to be freely worn this
spring. 1t looked last season as if
skill in flower making had reached its
highest point; this year, color, material
and modelling are more artistic than
ever, and the scope of blooms chosen
for reproduction is widened. Large
single blooms will be very much worn,
and for this purpose roses poinsettias
in black, as well as in scarlet or white,
orchids in the richest of tones, carna-
lions and pansies are provided. Violet
in posies have formidable rivals in the
new seasons pansies. These are large
and made of the richest of velvet tones,
and shaded so that a few even Of these
exquisite flowers relieve black or navy
blue in a most satisfactory way. Fruit
reproductions, and even punches of
nuts in shades of brown and gold are
used on some of the new straw hats

THE ALASKA RAILROAD,

Now that the Panama canal may be
considered in working condition, even
though the trouble from the slides has
not been entirely overcome and will
not be for some time to come. atten-
ton will be directed to the important
governmental undertaking in the
building of the railroad into Alaska
for the development of that rich ter
ritory.
1t is going to be carefully watch
ed for two purposes. There will of
course be interest in the results to
be obtained in putting the latent re-
sources of that region in closer touch
with the world and in the realization
Of the claims which have been put
forth long and persistently, but there
will also be deep concern in the facts
which it is able to bring out as an ex-
pertinent in government ownership
and operation of railroads.
The line was approved and is being
built for the good it can do Alaska
and there is sufficient reason for look
ing upon the undertaking as just what
is needed in that northern section

ton of government ownership and
operation must come as side ISSUE

TEARING UP STREETS.

Every city can appreciate the in
dignation which is being manifested
In Springfield against the indiscrim-
mate tearing UP of the streets. Moth
ing is more provoking or apparently
needless than the continual ripping
up of permanent pavement, especially
after a city has just been to a large
expense to give the long needed i'm
provement to its main thoroughfares
Even though there is and has been
recognition of the inconsistency of a
street being kept continually torn up
through lack of cooperation between
pality and public service corporations
the necessity for overcoming such
q situation is of the utmost import
ance. Try as they will it is impos-
Sible to replace pavement in a man
ner which leaves it as satisfactory
as before it was broken up.
The great trouble is that while there
are a great many departments and
corporations interested in various ways
I'm maintaining public service which
calls for street excavation, there is
too little planning for such improve
nents in advance. There is need of a
system in street work which would
insure the placing of conduits, water
and sewer pipes and trolley equip
ment in a proper state of repair and
with a view to caring for such future
demands as the life of the pavement
Will warrant, before the new pave
ments are laid. Within two years
Springfield has had two streets which
were previously in bad shape put in
an excellent state Of repair, only to
have an electric light company make
plans for tearing up both of them for
the laying of conduits. 1t is an aggra-
walton which every city experiences,
but with a little foresight such could
easily be prevented.

CHOICE OF VEGETABLES.

Selection OF the vegetables for din
ner has much to do with the success
of a meal. Those which resemble each

also, more than one vegetable requir-
ing the same kind of dressing, as
creamed cabbage and creamed carrots,

The sneers of those German cap

England's boosted control of the sea,
is characteristic. They were able to
defy the British navy for months and
destroy millions of dollars worth of

have all been caught or run to cover
at last. The war is less than a year
old and there is not German ship

stop their machines, and they are
