FASHIONS AND THE H.. c. L.

The tabled quest of Diogenes for
an honest man proved no less a fail
ure than the present search for the
root cause of the high cost of living.
Earnest and devoted men and wo-
men, singly and in groups. assailed
the problem from every angle. State
and federal authorities instituted
open and still hunts. Consumers
leagues and household leagues pur-
sued the villain hither and thither.
Each and all arrived at a common
destination without reducing the cost
in the slightest degree. Failure is
not due to lack of zeal, intelligence
or searchful power. 1t springs from
striking a blind trail at the outset
and getting nowhere. The real cause
of high living has been tracked to its
lair in a direction generally ignored,
and the honor of discovery belongs
to Miss Jane M. Newcombe. a re-
search teacher in the Pennsylvania
State college.
Miss Newcomb asserts that fashion
makers are the principal conspirators
with which mankind must grapple if
it would live within its means. Every
inch cut off woman's skirts means
an extra pound of beefsteak inside
to keep the wearer fit for the ele-
ments. But the worst of it is, as the
discoverer points out. the girl or
woman who struts the streets in
short dresses. silk stockings and chest
barred to the Winters winds must
eat so much to keep warm that she
becomes dyspeptic, nervous and ir-
ritable." The tyranny of the fashion
plate thus increases the normal con-
sumption of food, swells the demand
which boosts prices, and opens up
innumerable leaks in the purse.
Further search is a waste of time.
Speculation in food is a side issue.
The problem resolves itself into the
simple n of stretching the gowns
at both ends and shortening the de-
mand for food. Without the essen
tial props of fashionable brevity the
high cost of living tumbles as a house
of cards.

DUMMY ENTRYMEN
SEEK HOMESTEADS
Allege That Extensive Frauds
Are ACCOMPLISHMENTS Lane
Directs Vigorous Investigs-
ton Into Charge

Washington, Feb. 23.-The State
Legislature of Idaho has forwarded
to Congress a joint resolution setting
out that there is strong evidence to
indicate that lands already applied
for under the stock-raising home
stead Act. recently passed, are sought
by dummy entrymen acting in the
interest of wealthy corporations,
firms and individuals engaged in cat
tie and sheep raising.
Secretary of the Interior Lane has
received a number of communica-
tons from individuals in the western
States making similar charges, and
the indications are that extensive
land frauds are being attempted I'M
der this law.
The Act, like other homestead laws.
was designed to encourage the max
ing of Individual homes upon the
public domain, and because apple
able to a poorer character of lands.
four times the area allowed to be en-
tered under the original homestead
law was fixed as the maximum, but
both the law and the regulations
clearly and fully require that these
homesteads must be made for homes
in good faith. and for the use and
benefit of the individual making the
entry.
The Secretary has directed vigor-
Gus investigation and prosecution OF
fraudulent claims. One who enters
land. either directly or indirectly,
for the benefit of other persons OF
corporations, will not only have his
entry cancelled and forfeit his home
stead right, but will be subject tc
criminal prosecution for prejury, and
upon conviction may be fined not
more than $4,000 and imprisoned moi
exceeding five years.

This is Il story going the rounds of
the Partisan musical world. Florent

of composing music to one of the

So the composer went recently to the
Office of the society of composers to
collect his royalties for all these per-
formances. He knew, Of course. how
much these royalties ought to amount

PROPOSED NEW ELECTION LAW

A new general election law IL
which many irregularities contained
in the present statutes are straight
ened out, has been introduced in thu
Assembly by Garrison of Lincoln anc
White of Washoe. The bill was re
ferred to the committee on elections
Proposed Changes
Among the proposed changes in
the present law, many of which were
recommended by w. A. Fogg. the
late County Clerk of Washoe, are the
following:
The County Clerk is authorized tC

plies to the various precincts by mail
or express, instead of having the
sheriff make the delivery. The cleo
ton officials will return the ballot:

method.
The Commissioners III to appoint
all the election officials. Under the
present law the commissioners name
three inspectors who in turn desig-
nate the clerks.
If all officers of the county are
voted for at the same election, the
returns must be sent to the clerk.
If not then to one member of the
County Commissioners. No pro-
vision is made in the present law
when all officers are voted for.
The inspectors to mail a separate
copy of the results to the county
clerk. This will avoid delay in to-
falling the returns.
But ITO ba~llots..to be printed for
every 100 voters. Two ballots now
printed for every voter. No printing
on back of ballots. The cost to be
$40 for every 1000 ballots printed.
All judicial officers. school trustees
and University regents to be placed
on the ballot without party afilia.

WHY THEY HATE EACH OTHER

The hatred existing between Eng
land and Germanyis almost unquench,
able, says Goodwin's Weekly. 1t is
in truth q family quarrel. The Kai-
ser's mother was the oldest child OF
Queen Victoria, and the Germans
always hated her for she was always
self-willed and given to sneering at
German ways. Then all his life the
Kaiser has entertained a belief that.
as he was the oldest son of the oldest
child of England's queen, he is in
truth the real heir to the British
throne.
The frst'real clash came when in
the Boer war the Kaiser offered open
sympathy to old man Kruger. He
did it, too, just when Kitchener was
drilling the raw British troops sent
him into battle form. At that time.
too, a German illustrated paper pub
lished a cartoon of old man Kruger
bending Queen Victoria over his knee
and spanking her. This was when
the old queen was near the end of
her life, and was most dear to the
English people. There was no Eng
lishman who saw that cartoon but
what did not want to fight Germany
right then and there. and the hate
has grown in his soul ever since.
Then when. after the Franco-Prus-
sian war, Germany began to build
ships and to challenge England in
her oversee trade, more friction came
The final climax occurred when Ger
many produced a faster ship than
England had ever launched, and
began to build dangerous war navy.
Those successes caused Germany to
begin to dream of controlling the
worlds trade, and of expanding her
territory until she could have com
manding ports on the North sea, the
Adriatic and Mediterranean; and by
an understanding with Turkey she
began to dream also of building g
railroad from the Mediterranean t.
the back door of India in Central Asia
1t has been plain for ten years pas
that a clash between the two great
empires was inevitable. But Ger
many thought to avoid bringing Rus
STA into the war. His grandfather
repeatedly advised the Kaiser's faith
er that what ever he did to keeI
peace with Russia.
There is no doubt that the frs
move made by the Kaiser in thi!
war was intended to seize the north
ern ports of France and then make
a smash at England and dictate the
terms of peace to her. The opposi
ton she met in Belgium saved France
and England from a surprise. But
it intensified the hatred existing be
tween herself and England. and oul
belief is that neither country will bt
satisfied until the real fleets of both
countries meet and try conclusions
This will be the grand test of suprem
acy.
