THE SMOKE NUISANCE
BY n. ApDINoToN BRUCE

You are interested, take il. in

yourself from all unnecessary devt-

a suggestion l urge on you.
II you live in city or town over
burdened by the unconsumed smoke
OF factories, Office buildings, or pri-
waite houses, sgitate earnestly for an
abatement Of this nuisance.
Smoke-clouded towns are not
merely unpleasant places in which

unfavorably both the physical and

Let the People
Rule-and Write
Would Put Freight Cars on city's
Streets.


To the Editor OF The Times
How long is Detroit to remain a
rural town. a crossroads where Wis.
itors from other cities may see our
crowded streets being used by the
D. L. r. for freight lines
Heavy freight cars, far heavier
than passenger coaches, are run
over the rails originally intended
for passenger trafic.
When the people talked OF pur-
chasing the lines, how loudly the
D. L. r. ranted about the cost Of
track upkeep.
To be sure. the freight traffic
must increase the cost OF mainte-
nance, but the y L. r. receives the
revenue from handling the freight.
and pays Detroit the measIy sum
OF S. per trip, for turning her beau
tiful thoroughfares into freight
terminals.
The city is in the position Of
landlord. and Is levying enormous
taxes on all the other roads FOR
terminal facilities, and then allows
the D. l. r. 10 blockade her streets
for only s. per trip.
Go 10 other cities the size Of De-
troit and see II they allow insight
ly freight cars to be run on their
principal thoroughfares, and for A
mere pittance.
Do We know how much the D..
L. r. is making BY the illegal and
improper use OF the streets which
should belong 10 the people,
Aid. Vernon tried TO find out some
time ago how much the D L r.
was profting out OF the benehcence
Of Detroit.
The other aldermen seemed 10 be
with him AZ The start. but all scat
tered like sheep, AT the finish. and
appeared 10 be in favor OF letting
the question die as soon a. possible
How long will the people allow
the streets TO be used for freight
purposes?
Why not be fair 10 the other
freight transportation companies and
allow them 10 drag freight through
the principal business streets. for a
mere pittance Of s. per car, 40 they
can compete with the u. L. r.?
One Of the fsrfetched cries OF the
y L. r. Is "if the city OF Detroit
does not allow We 10 use their valua-
bic streets for our freight traflc. tho
merchants in adjacent towns will
suffer"
The - T. r. can, AZ any time.
send its freight outside Of Detroit.
or bring II in by one Of the several
belt lines maintained by the steam
roads. bat they would be obliged 10
pay more, By far. than the s. per
car they are now paying Detroit
The writer has talked with
large number OF people from other
large cities-ChIcaEo. Buffalo, Bos-
ton and New York--who were sur.
prlsed that Detroit was so poor that
she was obliged 20 turn the streets
Of this beautiful city into freight
terminals.
They had heard OF our prosperity,
and that this was the city where
life IL worth living" but thought
that appearances belied our reputa.
ton.
would like 10 SEQ the readers OF
The Times get together. and get up
a giant petition 20 present 10 the
election committee, 10 have this
question voted upon in the next
election The mayor and council
seem more afraid OF this question
than of the European trenches.
Let tho streets be used 20 carry
people. and not freight.

EXPLAINS WHY MEN
ARE GROWING BALD

Thousands of men are growing bald
every day and don't know the reason
why. Many of them never expect to
save even what hair is left.
This is indeed a pity, says hair
specialist who claims that badness
usually comes from carelessness and
that anyone who gives the hair just a
little occasional attention should al
ways have an abundance of good
healthy hair. Dust and dirt help to
cause badness by clogging the pores
in the scalp and giving the germs of
dandruff fertile ground for prolific
breeding.
The treatment is very simple; wash
out the dust and dirt with any pure
soap at least once in ten days and de-
stroy the dandruff germs by applying
every other night Partisan Sage, de-
Ilghttully efficient preparation that
hundreds of druggists recommend as
the surest treatment to stop hair from
falling, to remove dandruff and to re-
fresh and invigorate the hair roots.
OF course. like all successful discov-
cries, Partisan Sage has been greatly
f'attered by limitations which makes it
necessary to ask for it by name. The
cost of a generous bottle is very little.
and to supply the steady demand II. c.
Kennedy always has an abundant sup
ply on hand.

Lack of fresh air weakens the oxy-

too stout, take the matter in hand at
once. Don't wait until your figure has
become a joke and YOUR health ruined

BIG STEEL DEAL

Philadelphia, Feb. within a fort

companies will be effected. This was
learned last night from an authorita-
tive source when it became known
that ]. Leonard Replogle. prominent
factor in the merger negotiations, had
allowed options he held on Cambria
Steel stock at Johnstown to lapse. The
options expired at midnight.
Two weeks may lapse before the
combination is finally put through,
but it is more probable that the con-
summation will be effected in less than
that time.
Wall street reports yesterday said the
new company would be called the In
ternational Steel Company and that
it would have a capital of about $780,

gown so far as it is a work of art, but
it should be modest and never sensa-
tional. There has grown up a Gus
tom of dress for women, especially
young girls, that is simply frightfuI.
The extreme split skirt that shocked
us once has given place to the ex-
treme split waist. Evening gowns
worn nowadays by women who prob
ably mean we'll but are foolish are ut
terly disgusting, being cut in some
cases almost to the waist line. These
women do not do this to attract at
tention but because they are pos
sessed by the idea that to be partly
draped is fashionable.
To Censor Indecent Dress
Most club women want to estab-
lish a general rule against indecent
extremes in evening dress and a Gus
tom of making womens gowns con-
form to the following four rules:
first, individuality, every woman try
ing to express her own ideas. Sec
ond, modesty, not Puritanism but a
decent regard for what is proper.
Third, good taste, a degree of art in
the expression of individuaIism.
Fourth, appropriateness. Young girls
should not be dressed like matrons.
Old women should not dress like
girls.
Many women suggest that if the
present custom of sensational dress
ing continues an established ballroom
censorship should prohibit women so
goWned from appearing on the floor,
exactly as indecent dancing. is for
bidden."
