Oppose Ostriches In harness.

The umane society of Los Angeles,
Cal. has taken up arms against the
use OF the ostrich in harness and has
introduced measure seeking to make
their use for that purpose unlawful.
Some OF the reasons advanced are:
The birds are dangerous because they
are liable to kick in any direction;
they violate the speed laws and they
are a menace to traffic because, with
their well.known fondness for hard
ware. they are apt to eat auto acces'
sories, licenses, tail lights, etc.

NEW YORK. Oct 23.-The am
nouncement that the elimination of
the cloak room tip habit has been
started has been followed by the in
vention of a hat and coat hook that
the patron may use to lock his hat
and coat and the key is carried as Il
check. The magnitude of the cloak
room tip business is difficult for an
outsider to understand.
A few months ago two vaudeville
actors. giving trial performance in
Shanley's cabaret show, introduced
much laughter and applause. The
man entered in evening clothes and
sat AT table. The girl followed. at
tired as check room attendant and
forcibly took his hat and coat. Then
he sang song. One couplet ran:
only paid twelve-fifty for that coat
when 1t was new;
I've paid enough for checking II to
make the price OF two.
The act was not continued despite
its success in pleasrah the patrons.
The man who owns the cloak room
and hat rack concession at Shanley's
objected to it. He said it would hurt
his business. He pays $500 a year
for the privilege OF taking care Of the
hats and wraps at Shanley's and, at
ter paying this concession money and
paying the wages OF about ten at
tendants, he realizes a substantial
profit.
He does not operate at shanley's
alone. He has similar concessions at
number OF places along Broadway.
1t was he who introduced the "chok-
er" collar worn by nearly all check
girls. 1t prevents them from maxi

NEW WOOL CLIP PRICES HIGH
Canadian Combings Are in Good De-

MONTREAL. May 1.-THE new wool
clip prices In Canada are being held at
a very high level and all offerings have
been quickly taken up. Canadian mills,
however, are now we'll supplied with
stocks, having made heavy purchases
earlier for military orders.
There Is a strong demand for Canadian
combing woods from the United states
dealers, which is augmented by the diff
flculty in obtaining New Zealand cross
breds and English woods for that market.
This demand bids fair to keep prices in
Eastern Canada wool markets at very
high level
The estimated amount of wool clips
which will be graded and offered in the
West Is 2,575.000 pounds. Eastern Cana
dian wool prices are now quoted as fol-
lows
