UNFAIR CONFISCATION.

Since the Indian prohibitory lid has
been on the northern counties a few
bootleggers and blind pigs have been
captured by the national constabulary
and when contraband liquors have
been found in vehicles carrying the
same, the horses, wagons and autos
have been taken and sold. A few
days ago large consignment of booze
was captured on the Great Northern
train, the parties in control of it
were taken into custody and the booze
destroyed, but the train on which it
was found went on it's way to bring
more. If the vehicle of the man with
half dozen bottles is conf1scated un-
der the law why is not the train of
cars, or the one car equally liable?

The Turkish official report declares

of the Suvla and Anzac zones on the
Gallipoli peninsula. 8
Berlin has Constantinople advices
reiterating that the withdrawal from
the Gallipoli was disorderly instead
of systematic and virtually without
losses as the British official statement
declares, it being asserted in the Ber-

their sick and. wounded behind. sss..a
From German sources come state
ments that nearly all the British
troops have been withdrawn from the
Egean islands of Imbros, Lemnos and
Tenedos, their destination being Sa-
loniki. British bases for operations
in the Dardanelles have been main
tanned on the Egean islands. Reports
of the troop withdrawal are in. line
with the impression that the abandon
ment of important sections of the
Gallipoli peninsula front marked the
virtual end of the Dardanelles cam
paign, even though a footing on the
peninsula has been retained by the
allies.

GIVE HUBBY COPY OF THIS
WITH THE MILLINER BILL

Despite the jokesmiths' traditional
harping upon the millinery extrava-
gance of milady, figures compiled
claim to show that men in the Unit
ed States annually throw away $10,-
100000 worth of hats while a large
percentage of women make over their
old hats and save probably as much
as the men send to the ash heap.
Philadelphia dealers estimate that
their men patrons throw away $780,
900 worth of hats a week. Upon
this basis it is estimated that New
York men discard $4,000 worth;
Chicago, $4,000; San Francisco,
$4,000; Cleveland, $4,000; Boston,
$4,000; Denver, $4,000; Indian
apolis, $5,000; Kansas City, $4,000;
Los Angeles, $4,000; Milwaukee, $S,-
600; Pittsburgh, $4,000; Portland,
$4,000; Omaha, $4,000; st. Paul,
$4,000; St. Louis, $4,000; Washing
ton, $4,000, and other towns and
cities sufficient to ring the weekly
total up to 100000, or $1O,4OO,OOO
a year. Probably this is an exceed
ingly low estimate. Some estimates
place the annual amount at 49,
100000. This amount represents
about 100000 spurned sky pieces, at
least; nor does it take into account
caps and other substitutes for hats.
The average price paid for hats is
believed to be about So, but that
gives no idea of how extravagant
some men can be on their hats. These
include hard and soft felts, silk hats,
straws of every kind, including Pan
amas. There are men who order spe-
cially made Panamas, as many as
half a dozen at time, to cost $15O
each. Some of the rest of us can
get modest straw hat for IS cents,
and from that up Very good Pana-
mas can be had, we are assured, for
SIS, and some as low as $4 When
it comes to soft felt hats, $40 will
buy the best, and for hard felt, S.,
while $40 will secure the best French
imported silk high hat.
When woman buys new hat she
has it sent home in an elaborate box
covered with roses like the old-fash-
ioned chintz or wall paper patterns.
II gives it a Partisan atmosphere,
even if the creation never saw Paris,
but when man buys new hat he
usually tells the halter to "chuck'
the old one. Sometimes, very seldom,
he has it sent home, intending to
give it to the man who cuts the lawn
and takes out the ashes, and then
he forgets all about it, and his wife
gives it to the rubbish man or the
Salvation Army man at the first
call.
AS for the "cast-offs" that are
"chucked' by the halter, the second
hand man comes around and takes
them away. He refurnishes the ones
worth while and sells them at any
price, the others are stripped of the
bands and bindings and leather
sweatbands for the rag bag and the
remainder goes to the dump.

MORE TULSA ADVERTISING.

The Oklahoma Farmer. with a cir
culation i'm excess Of 100000, con
tains a very elaborate write-up of the
WASHINGTON Irving monument dediCa-
ton II follows:
The next generation may have
formidable bin to pay for the Tulsa
now being reared. but it will be worth
every cent Of it. Few persons who
have not visited that marvellous city
will accept the tales Of those who have
seen its progress. Indeed So stupen-
duus has this progress been that Presi-
dent Wilson ordered a special census
taken to cerifv its growth of the last
fifteen vcars-and it was verified, to
the astonishment Of many Tulsa Of
1900. with one straggling street. or
perhaps two. with a few lanes and by
WAYS. has become a modern wonder.
A description of it's possessions reads
SO much like a story out of a boom
circular in the old days of those un-
healthy erovths. that a conservative
mind hesitates to accept it as the
truth.
Tulsa had a population Of 1852 i'm
1910. Today il has exactly 29,225, a
gain Of 80 per cent i'm five years. chi
cago and Kansas CITY have no finer
ten-storv buildings. They have no bet
ter boulcvards nor more of the COM
forts of life. II is city of great
wealth. gained principally from oil and
gas. and its people believe i'm high
ideals This was shown recently when
a pipe organ costing $4,000, owned
by the city. was dedicated i'm a beauti-
full convention hall. also a municipal
enterprise. IT has about everything
that a modern city Of 10000 could ex-
pcct to have. including municipal
publicity agent J. Burr Gibbons. to
tel the world Of its progress.
But this is not the only proof Of
Tulsa's energy. In order not to let
the pursuit of wealth overshadow the
cultural things Of life it went into
history and. having discovered that
