''TIPPERARY" SUNG IN
LATIN IN new YORK
Night Pupils and Professor
CoIiabOrate on Songs.

New York.-You can't keep a good
song down. Wien it has been trans
lated int all the living languages it
takes up the dead.
If whoever wrote "Tipperary" will
visit the New York evening school in
De Witt Clinton high school, Tenth
avenue and Fifty-ninth street, he will
hear there almost any night this lyric
lilt-and wonder what has happened
TO the darling of his brain:
Longa via al Tipperarium,
Longa via ibo
Longa via ad Tipperarium,
Ad puellam guam cognosco.
Vale Picidilum,
Vale Leicester Forum
Longa via est al Tipperarium
Ibi est cor meum.
Also, If he listens longer, he will
hear Il Didn't Raise My Boy TO BE
Soldier and the other songs of the mo
ment done into the purest Latin OF
Manhattan.
The explanation, If he asks one, is
that Professor Horace G. Wait. teacher
OF I.dtln III DOlH lie w lIt clinton HlSu
ana the evening school, has discovered
the way to interest his pupils is 20
bring Latin up TO date. OF course.
Caesars legions may have sung the
same song as they realized how far ii
was from London town TO Ireland, but
even SO, thinks Professor Wait. to put
'Tipperary" into Horaces tongue
brings the past more in line with the
present
For several sessions lately the boys
and the professor have collaborated on
the translations of popular songs and
then have sung them TO detect imper
fections in the rhythm. They will con
tinue TO adapt Broadway's best singing
songs to the Appian Way rs long rs
the songs and the Latin verbs hold out.
AS for "Tipperary." even the German

WILSON PREPAREDNESS
OPENING ADDRESS OF SERIES IN
NEW YORK.

New York, Jan. 29.-In his ad-
dresses here last night the president
attacked his critics, especially those
who have criticized his Mexican pol
icy, with secret vigor, using the
short and ugly word" in referring to
men whom he declared had lied about
his policy, saying This is a year
of accounting and the accounting
must be definite on the part of the
parties and on the part of every in
dividual who wishes to enjoy the pub
lie confidence.
Il hope that every man in public
life will get what is coming to him. =
The president discussed his MeXi-
can policy vigorously. He asserted
that to invade Mexico would mean
the losing of the confidence of the
rest of the western hemisphere.
He cited the freeing of Cuba as an
instance of good done by the United
States.
IF we are drawn into the mael-
strom, which now surges in Europe,
we shall not be permitted to do the
high things we would prefer"

retary Garrison, and said that he did
not care about the details Of any plan
so long as 100000 trained men We're
provided as reserves under the fed
eral government.
He advocated the strengthening of
the national guard. but said that the
constitution itself put the national
guard under state control. He added
that the United States will not turn
in the direction of militarism.

VICTIM OF POISON GAS
AWFUL AGONIES OF SUFFERERS
DESCRIBED BN ONE
OF THEM.

New York World David Williams
OF Dublin, Ireland, of the Royal Irish
rifles, describes for the World the
agonies suffered by soldier who had

with the dread of the deadly fumes.
Williams enlisted with the Royal
Irish rifles at the beginning of the

His time of service was up September

that no worse suffering can be
known. Our regiment was posted
near Ypres. The German trenches
were from twenty to seventy yards
from ours, and most of the fighting
was with hand grenades. Then we
were moved down the line and were
prepared for a charge across valley.
I'm front of our trench the dead
were piled high up in heaps. and the
bodies had lain so long as to become
almost unbearable. The respirators
we used then were similar to those
used by the Germans, except that
theirs hooked over the ears, while
ours rested below the neck, with a
wad OF cotton that had to be held
between the teeth. The cotton was
soaked with bicarbonate of soda. 1t
was hard to breathe with the respira-
tors and they hurt the eyes. On a
charge we hardly ever wore them.
1T was calm day, and we could
see sort Of a haze hanging over the
valley. but it was not until we got in

MODERN WOMAN's COMPLAINT

The modern complaint of woman is
that the care of the house has divorced
her from growing interests, from lit
erature, and, what is more important
from the newspaper, partly from
music, entirely from politics. 1t is a
purely material question; there are
only twenty-four hours in every day
and there are some things one cannot
hustle. One can no more hustle the
English joint than the DEGREES of the
Supreme Court. Moreover, and this is
collateral fact, an emptiness has
formed around woman; while on the
one side she was being tempted by the
professions that opeend to her, by the
interests ready to her hand, the old
demands of less organized homes were
falling away from her. Once upon a
time she was slave, now she is a
half-timer, and the taste of liberty
that has come to her has made her
more intolerant of the old laws than
she was in the ancient days of her
serfdom. Not much more than sew
enty years ago 1t Was still the custom
in lower middle class homes for the
woman to sew and bake and brew
These occupations were relinquished,
for the distribution of labor made II
possible to have them better done at a
lower cost.
In the ffties and the sixties the
great shops began to grbw, stores to
rise of the type of Whiteley and Wana-
maker. Woman ceased to be indus
trial, and became commercial; her
chief occupation was now shopping.

But of late years even that has begun
to go; the great stores dominate the
retail trade, and now. qualities being
equal, there is hardly anything to pick
between universal provider No. l at
one end of the town, and No. 2, equally
universal, at the other. Also the stores
sell everything; they facilitate pur-
chases; the housekeeper need not go
to ten shops, for at a single one she
can buy cheese, bicycles and elephants
That is only an indication of the move
ment; the time will come, probably
within our lifetime when the great
stores of the towns will have crushed
the small traders and turned them
into branch managers; when all the
prices will be alike, ali the goods alike

T. W. Shelton Urges
Uniform Legal Procedure

In spite of the ram a large turnout
of business men greeted the speaker
at the MONDAY luncheon of the Cham
Der of Commerce at the Harrisburg
Club to-day, when Thomas w. Shell
ton, of Norfolk. Va, chairman of the
committee of the American Bar Asso-
clatlon on uniform judicial procedure
discussed The Part of Commerce in
the New Juridical Era" and dwelt
strongly on the encroachment by the
legislative on the judicial branch of
the government in this country, a
danger against which the speaker de-
Clared we were warned by our fore
fathers who so wisely laid the founda-
tion of the structure of government
which we enjoy to-day.
Jesse E. b. Cunningham introduced
the speaker, who was flanked on either
side by Judges Kunkel and McCarrell,
of the Dauphin county bench.
Mr. Shelton went into the construc-
tion of the United States government
and the division OF its functionaries
into the executive, judicial and legis-
lative. He emphasized the fact that
the day has come when the legislative
branch is infringing upon the indie
pendence of the judiciary and that a
complete right-about- face is the only
method TO adopt. AS a concrete evi-
dence of the plan which he advocated,
namely, the adoption of a scientific
system OF Judicature whereby the State
would follow the lead of the Federal
government and uniformity in the
judiciary would be the watchword, the
speaker cited the bill which is now
before Congress to invest the Supreme
Court OF the United States with power
10 put into effect the uniform system
of procedure contemplated. and he ad-
Nised the business men to communi-
cate with their representatives. in Con-
eress and urge the passage of the bill.
1T Is the first time in the history of
the world" he said. that the LAWYERS
have come together and agreed on the
proper way to conduct the judiciary ''
and that, In his estimation, was proof
positive of the urgency and necessity
of the change.
See to it," he said. that politics
never gets its hands on the sacred
bench, because the judicial department
Is the cornerstone of government and
the only safety OF liberty in this coun-
try; laws are nothing without the
court to enforce them. and if we clog
the arteries of justice and right, which
means the court and Jury, this country
cannot stand"
Mr.. Cunningham, in thanking the
speaker. said the Pennsylvania State
Bar Association has endorsed the
American Bar Associations activities
in advocating the passage of the law
in question.

Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali, which
is very injurious, as 1t dries the scalp
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for 1t is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and a few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it In, about a teaspoonful is
all that is required 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly. and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft. fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to
handle. Besides, 1t loosens and takes
out every particle of dust, dirt and
dandruff.

Sufragists Do Not Regard
Subcommittee as Favorable

st. Louis, June Is. - Suffragists
fighting for an equal rights plank in
the Democratic national platform to-
day regarded the resolutions subcom-
mittee appointed last night as none
too favorable to their cause. Only
three of it's members are outspoken
for suffrage, 1t vas declared while
four are against ii.
The other two are believed to hold
the administration view of the situa-
ton, which is for the Endorsement of
suffrage, but not for a constitutional
anne endment plank. The subcommft-
tee was declared by Democratic lead
ers to be inclined enough toward
suffrage to give it only about the same
measure Of Endorsement as is contain
cd in the Republican platform.
