Safety For School Children.

From the Electric Railway Journal.
Rec for danger and green for Irish
was the conception of the danger and
safety emblems which Mrs. Katherine d.
L~arrabee. the lecturer of the bureau of
public safety Of the Brooklyn, N. Y, Rap
id Transit company, found to be- most
widely entertained among the children of
the Brooklyn vacation schools and play
grounds whom she met in the annual
summer school safety campaign under the
auspices of the Brooklyn Institution for
Safety and the board of education. Mrs.
wa we'll pleased that the chil-
dren universally recognized the danger
sign. and she explained to them the more
exact significance of the green symbol
from the safety point of view.

What of the New Emperor.

Chicago Evening Post.
upon the dsad bo 90 of the ola ma n

either hatreds or preachrnents.
He is gone and Charles Francis Joseph.

What is this new man to be:
No man can say. For no man can pre-
dict what an Austrian archduke is or

UNCLE SAM AFFECTED
BY RISE IN PRICES
Cost of Building Material.
Fuel, Etc, Hits Govern
ment's Purse.

Washington.-(by mail.)-Uncle Sam
is feeling the high cost of things in
more ways than one and among the
troubles caused by it is that some OF
the public buildings authorized by con-
Sfess are hung up. Soaring prices for
materials, including steel, lumber, stone
ana brick, are making grief and worry
Tor the office of Assistant Secretary
Newton. h has Jurisdiction over the
office of the supervising architect. Es-
inmates of cost which q year or Two
ago were correct have now been set all
awry by the rising figures.
tilgher pay for labor, too, is an i'm
portant element iii the matter.
On the smaller public buildings, the
treasury is not so much concerned. 1T
is pursuing the policy of not putting
up ~pretentious buildings in small cities.
AS a result, it is possible in man. in
stances to save money to the govern
ment by constructing simpler buildings
than contemplated in the estimates sent
to congress-.
In the case of buildings for large
sized cities, where there is rapid ex-
pansion of postal business. this policy
cannot be followed. AS a result. the,
treasury will have to ask for more
money for such structures.
The Des Moines Case.
The Des Moines court house is one of
the important proposed buildings af-
fected by the higher cost of materials
and labor. While it has been delayed
for various reasons, this is one of the
causes for the delay.
The higher cost of construction to-
day may compel the treasury to alter
some of the estimates in the hands of
the House committee on public build
lngs. on which the new public buildings
Dill is based. Whether more money will

1t need cause no surprise.
Still Call for Pork.
1t is expected that a new public
building bill will be forced through
congress the coming session. The
clamor for pork is lusty and long.
The projects were estimated for by the
treasury many months g and hence
the higher cost of materials and labor
AFFECTS them. While estimates revising
the Old estimates have not been made
Tor the projects in the bill, the subject
is under consideration.
Nor is the heightened cost of mater
lals and labor combining it's effect to
federal buildings. Practically every sort
OF supplies needed in the federal build
lnss is costing more. The coal difficulty
is an instance of the governments trib-
ulations. This is felt more in Washing
ton than in federal buildings in other
cities where purchases of coal have
been made far ahead.
All Departments Hit.
The treasury departments experience
is kindred to that of the other depart
ments of the government. OF course,

A Remedy for High Prices.

From the Duluth Herald.
The st. Paul Dispatch quotes a Chicago
food shark in a confession that contains
a Very useful hint-if we lave the STAN
ina and courage to take advantage of it
about how to attack the problem Of high
prices.
I'm former years" says this freebooter.
"f a housewife was asked to pay 40 cent,
a cheaper substitute. This year she paws
so cents. Therein lies the secret of the
present high prices. There are liberal
stocks of butter and eggs in cold storage.
than they ever expected to make. Still
there is no way to make them sell a prod

advancing prices, the price is going up
In former years the housewife revolted
against high prices, refused to pay them
and took a cheaper substitute.
Now. either because she feels prosper
Gus or because she will not let people
think that she can't afford the best there
food trusts choose to ask. And, there be-
ing no limit to- greed. prices keep going
up and the docile housewife keeps on pay

OF high prices is the false pride that leads

something less than m~illionaires.
This remedy of refusal to be robbed is
within the reach of everybody. If every
body awaited himself of it. prices would
inevitably fall.
If When meat gets too high people quit
buying meat, meat prices couldn't hold
up.
If when eggs and butter get too high
people quit using them. or reduced the

The blame for high prices is widely

that anybody should hin them econome

Mourning CoIors.

Intending to symbolic the gloom
Of night, "wAen all men Sleep"
black is the color of mourning all
over Europe. In Persia pale brown
materials are worn for mourning,
the color of withered leaves. Both
sorrow and hope are expressed to
the south sea islander in black and
white stripes, while in Ethiopia the
mourning color is grayish brown,
which represents "the earth to
which all men shall return" Pur-
plo and violet have been the mourn
lng colors for cardinals and kings Of
France, and white is worn to ex~
Dress grief in China. In Syria and
Armenia sky blue is worn at the
death of a relative and is intended
to express the belief that the de-
ceased has gone to heaven. In
Egypt and Burma yellow is worn to
,vmbolize the sere and yellow leaf.

KICKS STRAIGHT OUT.
The C%assowary Is a Natural Boxer and
Likes to Dance Too.

That natural boxer, the casso-
wary, is the only species of bird, ex-
cept perhaps the ostrich, whose
methods of defense and attack are
forward kicks. The cassowary kicks
"straight out" like a man, and his
ability in this relation might we'll
be envied by any athlete.
Another peculiar Characteristic Of
the cassowary is seen in his fond
ness for performing a sort of war
dance I've any object that attracts
his attention. A cassowary once
came upon a piece Of gaudy ribbon
blown inside his Enclosure in a
geological garden. Now, this casso-
wary was n of the smallest of the
collection, but he was of a martial
temper. After a careful examina-
ton Of the ribbon he began his war
dance, maintaining it with great
vigor for some time.
While he was at the height of his
pleasure a larger cassowary ap-
preached and e%ndeavored to inter
fcre with the dance. The smaller
bird suffered this interference for a
few minutes, but finally he deter
mined that it was no longer to be
endured. When the larger bird
tried to GUST him from the spot in
order that he in turn might prance
about the ribbon the younger re-
sented the intrusion in no uncertain
fashion.
The two creatures were i'll match
ed in height, one being about five
feet and the other a foot or more
shorter. But the battle that en-
sued demonstrated that among
birds, as among men, weight and
height do not always turn the bal
ance. Forward kicks were the main
feature of the combat. At first the
blows were delivered chiefly on the
breast and did not do much dam
age, but eventually the smaller bird
knocked the other out with a mas
terly stroke delivered by the long,
sharp claw of the inner toe on the
wattles Of his antagonist.
No fatal in jury was done, but the
shock must have been terrific, since
the big bird retired in confusion
and the smaller resumed his war
dance over the ribbon.-Los An
geles Times.
