Looking the Facts
Right In The Face,

Some interesting facts are given
in the current issue of the Railway
Age Gazette regarding the person
mel Of state railway commissions
Statistics compiled about railroad
commissions in forty.six states
show that out of 1853 members Of
these commissions rs, or exactly
one-half, are lawyers. The princi-
pal function of these commissions
is to regulate railways, but out Of
the 1853 men charged with this i'm
portant work only ten have had
aay actual railroad experience.
The selection of lawyers, says
the Gazette, Undoubtedly is due to
the fact that lawyers. as a rule, are
more active in politics than any
other class Of professional or bust
ness men, and the choice Of MEM
bers of state commissions has been
dictated largely by political consid-
erations." Out of this fact" con-
tinues the Gazette, arises the ten
dency Of so many safes commits
sions to be governed largely by po-
litical considerations in the exercise
OF their functions.
OF the members Of the state rail-
road commissions who were not
previously lawyers, IS were farm.
ers, IS public icials, 8 merchants,
A bankers, A editors and 8 UNIVERSE
ty professors. The remainder rep
resent almost every department Of
professional and business activities.
The commissions OF " states are
elected by popular vote. while those
Of "a states are appointed by the
governor. The lowest yearly salary
paid is to the commissions Of Yer
mont. $1,000; while the highest is
to the commissioners In New York,
$4,000. The average salary is
$4,000.

MOST DEADLY AERIAL BOMB
VIII Explode Six Feet Above Ground,
No Matter From What Height
1t May Be Dropped.

An aerial bomb which explodes
about six feet above the ground. re-
CARELESS of the height from which ii
Is dropped, has been tested out by the
ordnance department. and probably
will be manufactured in large numbers.
The novel feature of the bomb,
which is described in Popular Science,
Monthly, is that it explodes before 1t
hits the ground whether it is dropped
from height of 1000 or 10000 feet.
The difficulty with bombs used is that
they have been fired by contact with
the ground, buryng themselves in the
earth before exploding. Thus 90 per
cent of the force of a bomb dropped
on ordinary ground is expended against
earth, instead of scattering its frag-
ments over a wide area above ground.
Inventors have heen aware of this de-
ficiency of the pearshaped bomb for a
long time. The idea uppermost in their
minds has been to develop a bomb that
would explode head high and whose
bursting fragments would cover a wide
circle before reaching the ground. So
far as is known, no foreign country
has such a bomb in its possession.
The bomb which comes closest to
realizing the maximum of efficiency, as
the ordnance department interprets
that term, is this bomb, devised by
Mr.. Barlow.

Worcester leads the revival Of gen.
eral use of the bicycle by furnishing
most of the silent tandem wheels for
the six-day contest In New York this
week This country cannot lose Wor-
cester. Probably 1t knows better than
to try anything like that. The bicycle
has had long rest while the multitude
has been satisfying its disposition for
riding by building and riding automo-
biles and motor cycles, but the man.
power vehicle Is coming out with the
next open season for another long and
probably permanent run. 1t is no
longer the plaything for the many. but
the necessary means OF quick local
transit for a large number who live
too far away from their work to make
walking economical, and who need the
open-air exercise for an hour or more
night and morning, even more than
they need to economize the nickes
which the trolley cars cost them. The
bicycle properly used is one of the
greatest health agencies this country
can use to advantage by the millions,
and it Is well within the expense limit
Of many millions Of men and women,
as well us the young people. Walking
Is prescribed for more people than can
afford the time to take that cure. But
the bicycle is handy to economic that
time and 1t provides the exercise at
the same tlme.-Worcester Telegram.

Distinctive One-Piece Frock.

Among the many new one-piece
frocks of wool for winter, there are
few that contrive to be as simple as
fashion demands, and as original and
clever as the most exacting of careful
dressers could ask. These two at
tributes-simplicity and originality
have no rivals when 1t comes toAcon-
ferring distinction on any sort of ap-
parel. They are the hallmarks Of
genius In designer.
The neat and spirited frock above
Is. an example of fine draping in an
otherwise plain dress, with a clever
new management of the skirt and
beautiful adjustment to the figure. Any
Of the reliable wool fabrics, as serge
gaberdine, broadcloth, velours, serve
equally well to make 1t, and it Is to be
recommended to those who intend %

The sleeves are set in the under bod

the material terminate at the knee and

The sleeves are plain, with cuffs Of

the new ruffled collars of organdie Is
worn at the neck. These collar and
cuff sets are made in light colors and

daughters may take courses in cook
ing, sewing and other domestic
branches; it employs its own staff Of
surgeons, physicians, oculists and dem
lists, who attend to the wants of the
members free of any charges save per-
haps for the material used In filling
teeth or the lenses prescribed for the
correction or aid of sight; 1t also
maintains its own hospital, sanltarl-
UNI for consumptives, and an asylum
for the insane. All these advantages
belong to each and every member, not
as matter Of charity but as matter
Of right. He pays his dues of $1.5O
d month and thereby. becomes part
ner in the organization, and Is entitled
to any of these privileges he desires.
These mutual aid and benefit fea-
lures are not peculiar tOethe "CentrO
de Dependencies" alone; several OF
the other centres" have practically
the same features. OF all of them, the
"Centro Gallego" Is the largest and
wealthiest. 1t has a membership of
$4,000, an annual income of over ST.
100000, and is housed in a palatial
| structure that cost over 81 ,OOO,O 900.
The second largest is the "CentrO AS
| turano," which has membership OF
$1,000, composed chiefly of Spaniards,
| but with a considerable Cuban con-
tingent that is also represented on
the governing board. 1t has one of
the handsomest buildings in Havana
for its home, covering an entire square
and including one of the best theaters
in the city. Some of the "centros,"
such as the "Balear'' and "Castellano,"
admit women as well as men to men,
bership, and for an additional fee Of
80 cents a month give medical aid to
other members of the family of a
member. Although the medical serv-
ices rendered are the chief attractions
Of these latter Institutions, they also
have a clubhouse in addition to the
u sanitarium.
In addition to the "centros," Havana
has large number of other clubs that
differ In no material respect from the
typical social athletic and political
clubs of other large cities. For the
sake of convenience these may be d.
vided into city and country clubs.
Among the former the foreign clubs
occupy an important position, and Of
these the Spanish Casino is the larg-
est; second comes the American club,
founded In 1902, which has steadily
grown in membership until it has
something over 300. 1t occupies a
well-appointed building on the Prado.
Havana's beautiful boulevard, and
has all the typical modern club fea-
lures that are found in similar social
organizations in the United States.
Among other foreign clubs are two
Chinese, which include in their mem
bership the important persons of that
race.
OF the strictly social clubs, the old
est and most exclusive is the Union
club, a Cuban organization, which Is
restricted to men only and to whose
functions the ladies are never invited
