CHI. MOTORISTS REFUSE TO BE
PERIODICALLY ENTHUSED
Led by The Tribune, loop papers
have for weeks been trying to stir
up among Chicago motorists
enough enthusiasm to prompt them
to donate the services of 225 auto
mobiles for transporting a regiment
of national guardsmen to Fort Sher-
idan next Sunday.
Evidently the patriotic inspiration
of Chicago auto owners incInes
muchly to the punk. Anyway. the
long stories and the free half-cOlUmn
ads, urging auto owners to show their
public spirit and loan their cars for
a day, had until last night secured
but % machines for use of the
gUardsmen.
The Yellow Cab Co. gave The
Tribune's autO-patriotism a boost
last night by offering to supply 100
cars for next Sunday, and more if
needed.
This is merely in line with our
original proposition made through
Mayor Thompson offering our 300
yellow cabs and 500 trained drivers
as an auxiliary to the national
guard, John Hertz, head of the yell
low Cab Co., telegraphed The Trib-
une from New York. "A great por-
ton Of our chauffeurs have signifed
their willingness to join such an aux
Hilary"
But dear old grandmother Trib-
une feels very much hurt, for it has
been preaching preparedness and pa
triotism by columns and at great
cost, and now that it appeals to mo-
tor car owners to come across with
a big show of patriotism only 123
cars are offered, and 100 of. these
comes from a taxi company that
probably feels in debt to The Tribune

BIG BUSINESS SEEN BEHIND
MOVE TO GET O'HARA
Leut-Gov. Barratt O'Hara is to be
taught by the Democratic political
bosses that you can't step on the
toes of Big Business and expect to
be endorsed as the candidate of a DO
itical faction.
From St Louis, where the high
chiefs of the Democrats have been
doing their political scrapping for the
past week, comes the report that
O'Hara will not be endorsed for re-
nomination by either the Roger Sui
Ivan or the anti-SuIlivan crowd.
Behind this is seen the hand of
the State street stores and the Hi
nOis Manufacturers assn, who have
always been liberal with their coin
at election time When O'Hara, as
head of the Illinois white slave COM
mission, two years ago established a
connection between vice and low
wages and turned the searchIight on
the rotten conditions among the girl
workers on State street and in fac
tories, these interests went out after
O'Hara Now they say they've got
him.

BAD SEATS CAUSE DEFORMITY
Curvature of Spine and Round Shout
ders Too Frequently Developed
in School.

As an outcome of medical inspection
in public schools, people are beginning
TO appreciate the important part which
school seats play in the physical devel-
opment of the young, NJ. V. O'Shca
writes in the Mothers Magazine. The
statistics of deformities of growth have
been compiled in Il number Of Ameri-
can cities, and they are impressive A
considerable proportion of school chill
dren are afflicted with curvature of the
spine. This difficulty becomes more
common as we 90 up the grades and
into the high school.
What is the relation of school seats
to curvature of the spine? Suppose
pupil during the growing period uses
for four or five hours each school day,
thirty-eight or forty weeks each year
for eight or twelve years, desk which
is 50 high that in order to rest his arm
on it he lifts his shoulder, and SO pulls
the spine out OF correct alignment. Or
dinarily, the right shoulder wiH be
raised too high, and the left will be too
low. 1t is probable that any child who
maintains this posture in school year
after year Will acquire some degree of
curvature. Even if no curvature re-
suits, there Will be inequality in the
height of the shoulders, which will
prove a handicap to an individual in
later life.
Older pupils often use desks which
are too low. 1t is practically certain,
| then, that they Will bend over the
desks, and they will be in u cramped
| posture several hours each day. III
such Il position the lungs are construct
ed, The shoulders are pressed forward
and the common round shoulder de
| velopS; most serious of all, the circula-
! ton in the brain is intcrfered With.
When children keep this posture in
school day after day for years, they
are likely to become either Beurotic or
| dull.

Back-Door Etiquette.

It is back-door etiquette for q wom-
an to send back the dish in which her
neighbor has sent her something TO
eat, full. As Il result of trying to OBJ
serve this rule, two Atchison women
are on the verge of nervous collapse.
Sunday morning one of the women
sent her neighbor a pan of string
beans. Promptly the woman receiving
the beans returned the pan filed with
some plum butter. The other woman
returned the pan filled with fresh
doughnuts. Her neighbor sent the pan
back with some raisin bread in it.
The other woman fired the pan back
filled with tomatoes. The ncighbor
quickly stirred up q cake and it was
no time until that pan was sent back
filled with little hot cakes. The other
woman was ready fer the pan and sent
it over filled with picked bcets. The
other neighbor flew TO her pantry and
jcrked up some sliced ham and sent
the pan back, but the other woman's
men folks met that pan before it
reached its destination; there is not
enough of it left for the junkman.-

Emerald Most Precious Stone.

The most precious of ali stones
provided it contains no flaws The of
fetal tribute paid to the emerald in a
bulletin issued by the Smithsonian In
sutution. Tracing the history of EN-
craId finds from the days Of Cleopatra,
the Smithsonian furnishes interesting
scientific information regarding these
gems, saying:
Unfortunately it (the emerald) is
seldom free from flaws, and were this
not the case an emerald would be of
greater value, carat for carat. than the
diamond. Today a good diamond is
worth about 500 to $500 per carat,
according TO its purity and size While
an emerald varies in value from $3.50
TO 500, increasing very rapidly with
size. ElaWleSs emeralds weighing
more than four carats are among the
r2rest OF jewels; a perfect stone Of
four carats is practically priceless
whereas 4 diamond would bring only
$iGJ0 90 S2.cHQ."

BUILT BY AMERICAN EXPERTS
Spain, Monument to United
States Engineering Skill.

The largest dam in Europe, situated
near the old fortified town of Talarn
Spain, was recently completed by
American engineers and experts. 1t is
constructed of concrete, and is $50
feet high, 100 feet long and 23o feet at
the base, gradually decreasing to Il
feet at the top. The Noguera Palla-
resa river flowed through the clusm
across which the dam is built, and it
abuts On almost perpendicular cliffs.
The valley above the dam was
bought from the various landhoIders at
a cost of nearly 100000, and now.
filed with water, forms an artificial
lake 15l3 miles long and 334 miles
wide. The tloodgateS are so carefully
balanced that they open automatically
under the pressure OF Il rise OF one
inch of water. The natural formation
of the rock near the dam has been util-
lied to provide a spillway with a ca
pacity of 10000 cubic feet OF water Il
second.
The dam has a twofold object in the
! production of electric power and use
In irrigation. The water that now
passes through the powerhouse yields
an electric current OF 10000 horse pow
er. Later it will be increased to 10000

at an interest agreement for provision ing same.
 'The military authorities would obli- gate themselves not to remove sup plies from occupied territory in manner and quantity that subsistence for the population would be jeopardized. They could be prepared to guarantee any provisions supplied by neutral coun tries would accrue to the benefit of inhabitants of occupied territories and used for no other purpose.
 However guarantee that other products to respective Territories will not be used in the interior could not be given by authorities. Exactly out of those humanitarian considerations which prompt American relief, it ap pears impracticable to the military au- thorities to prohibit exportation of az ricultural products from occupied ter ritory, for if traffic betwen such ter ritories were now stopped inhabitants of Poland, always dependent upon the export of agrarian products, would be most sensibly affected thereby and hindered in providing those articles of necessity which they are accustomed to draw from the interior and which must be charitably provided.
 Under those conditions Austro- Hungary would gladly consider any suggestions regarding provisioning of Poland and awaits with interest the proposals of the American government in this regard"

TEXAS STAGES
 COURT MATINEE

Texas" Richey, the "Gentlemanly Gorilla staged an extra matinee in the city police court yesterday after noon. He was there to answer charge of assault preferred by w. F. Nottingham, local cleaner and dyer. And it wound up by the star being called upon to pay for the privilege rather than to be paid for the enter tainment he provided.
 According to Nottingham an at tempt on his part to collect bill for cleaning a dress for member of the company amounting to $1.50. resulted in dispute which ended when Texas struck him three times on the neck. As evidence of having been struck, Nottingham called attention to his hoarseness and called his physician to attest to his condition. Nottingham admitted that notwithstanding the rough treatment he received. he sue ceeded in collecting the amount due him.
 Texas" denied that he struck Nott- ingham. He admitted however. that he took him by the shoulder and shook him. telling him that a man $ room in a hotel was no place to call for money This admission was fatal to the case of Texas" for City Magis- trate Thomas informed the prisoner that such an act constituted an as- sault under the law
 Judge, just look at that arm said Texas" bearing his hiceps. Do you thirk I struck that man and left no marks on him. Why Judge, l. l had struck him as he says. he wouldn't be here now to tell of it.. He wouldn't be in a condition to make a complaint. When he came to my room I was engaged in giving a massage to the young woman who ap- pears with me. She had been work ing hard the night before and her muscles were sore. That was no time to come to my room and ask for money I would have paid him if he had waited in the office until I could have gone down. In the first place the dress wasn't cleaned properly. There was a spot on it that should have been taken out and I told him SO But I paid him and that should be the end of it"
 Texas" then told of his wife being i'll in Los Angeles hospital and said that he hoped the court would deal lightly with him. Nottingham, also put in a plea for leniency and a fine of five dollars was assessed. Texas didn't have that amount with him, but said he would pay the fine if an officer would call at the box office in the evening. And before he left the court room. Texas again ex- hibited his muscular development and said he never struck man unless he was of his size.
 Striking his fist into his other palm with resounding smack, he said:
 If strike board; a two-inch one | like that. there's nothing left but saw dust. And he says I hit him. gues' ] he was scared. Come over and set me tonight
