The "Autocar," an influential Brit
ish motor journal, believes that the
explanation is due to the fact that.
the individual output of the Ameri-
can workman is not restricted, that
the American market is vastly great
er than the British market and that
the purchasing power per unit of
population in America is far greater
than that of Great Britain. zone
might add" says the Telegraph,
that in Great Britain cars are pro-
duced as from an engineers labora-
tory, and not from factory, as In
America"
There is n whole lot of tariff phi
losophy in that item of news. What
chiefly concerns the auto manutac-
turers of Great Britain at present is
the competition of the cheap Amerl-
can cars. Under the Republican
tariff law all automobiles imported
paid a duty of 45 per cent. ad va
loren. The Democratic tariff law
made a reduction of SS 1-S per cent.
on those valued at less than $4,000.
Probably the influence of Mr.. Henry
Ford had something to do with this
reduction. Ford has patents on his
cars which give him ample protec-
tion, and any loss sustained by other
cheap cars, through foreign compe-
tition, would affect his output but
little. OF course, the war practically
put a stop to any such competition.
Those who are acquainted with the
Ford will be amused to read what
Ford had to say with reference to
the automobile, when the Republican
law was being framed: This differ
ence (in the, amount paid to Iabor)
Is very small as the amount of labor
on automobiles in proportion to the
amount of material is almost ipsig-
nificant." Naturally. he had the
Ford car in mind.
On the high grade cars the Demo-
Gratis preserved the Republican rates
on the score that they constituted
luxuries. The present abnormal
prosperity, derived from the Euro
pean war, has made trade in these
high priced cars quite prosperous,
through the process of elimination has
considerably reduced the number OF
manufacturing companies.
But the development of our foreign
trade in the low priced car. the car
which makes Great Britain turn to
a protective tariff, has been due pri-
marily to unrestricted output. which,
OF course, means an exceedingly low
unit cost Of production, and this un-
restricted output will continue so long
as we have no competition from
abroad, and the United States re-
mains prosperous. But let the end of
the war find us operating under a tar
iff law but Q per cent. better than alb
solute free trade, and the prosperity
of the farmer and of tire purchasers
of low-priced cars generally will melt
away, the output will be restricted by
smaller demand, and all the evils
which attend the Democratic tariff

LARGER OUTPUT-SMALL COST
TIME London Telegraph, in a recent
issue, says:

If the British motor industry
after the war is to be recreated
and developed. a protective tariff
will be necessary. Even
before the war American competi-
tion was becoming more and more
severe. but to-day the Americans
have the field to themselves, and but
for the entire prohibition of inn
ports would have overrun the Brit
ish market. 1t is diff
cult to explain why American com
petition should be so keen, as
wages are higher, buildings more
costly and material no cheaper in
the United States than in this coun-
try.

WILL OPPOSE REFERENDUM
Brewers of Wisconsin Will Make
Strong Fight Against Prohibition
Measure.

Madison-The brewers of Wisconsin
will contest the referendum prohibit
ton bill and their line to opposition to
the bill is slowly developing. The fact
that a large number of the legislature
who were expected to oppose the bill
are going on record for the bill has led
to rumors around Madison that the
brewers have decided not to oppose
the measure, but to make the fight in
the referendum for an overwhelming
vote in favor of the wet side of the
prohibition question.
1t can be stated definitely, however,
that the brewers will make strong
fight to prevent the prohibition refer
endum passing the legislature and
their line of fight will be based large
ly on the great number of property
which would deteriorate in value
should dry law become effective,

MAY OPPOSE SALARY BOOST
Expect Protest to Measure introduced
in Assembly to Double Pay OF
Members of Legislature.

Madison-It is evident from the SEN
timents expressed among the members
of the legislature that considerable op-
position to the bill proposed by AS
semblyman Turner, doubling the pay
of members of the legislature indi-
rectly, will develop. The bill provides
that members serving en- standing
committees would receive extra re-
Enumeration for their services.
The OPPOSITION cites the obvious fact
that all of the members might not
benefit from such a provision, as some
of them might not be appointed to
membership on a standing committee.
AS the legislatures Of Wisconsin
have in times past been extremely
backward in taking measures to raise
their pay, it is likely the bill will be
the subject of sharp debate when it
comes up for. hearing.

output and to fix the prices of canned
peas and to afford cloak or cover
to such a conspiracy"

ASKS MORE MONEY FOR "U'
President Charles Van Hise Says Pro-
posed Appropriation is
inadequate.

Madison President Charles r. Van
Hise of the university told the legisla-
tive committee on finance that if the
legislature appropriates no more
money than recommended by the state
board of education, the university, in
his opinion, will deteriorate in the next
two years.
He took the general ground that ex-
pansion at the university the last ten
years has proved the best investment
the state has made. He argued that
Wisconsin has been enriched indus
trial1y, materially and intellectually
because of this policy of expansion.
The hearing was important because
it establishes the fact that Mr.. Van
Hise will not submit to the recon-
mendations of the board of education
If he can convince the legislature that
the university is entitled to more
money.

CUPID AIMED HIGH
Valentine Written by French
Duke Earliest Specimen of
That Kind.

The earliest specimen of a written
valentine was by Charles, duke of Or
leans who was taken prisoner at Agin-
court and detained in England 70
years.
During the greater part Of the eight
zenith century valentines in the form
of a sheet of note paper, in which
were inscribed some sentimental verse
or contained a courteous expression OF
attachment, were popular.
The children of the more refined
class were not willing to lose their
merry-making, and for their sake few
prettier pictures and verses were pro-
duced; but the old custom having fal-
len into disrepute was sinking lower
and lower, when it was arrested by a
powerful upward movement.
This improvement began in the thir-
ties and was due to a number of ladies
who, aided by the highest in the land,
opened for large number new field
of labor. Hundreds of refined women
became engaged in the manufacture of
valentines, the work being done in
their homes.
Nor were these little love tokens
the only articles to benefit by this up
lift, but art in all it's branches rapidly
progressed, as was shown at the open
ing of the first international exhibition
by Queen Victoria and the Prince
Consort in May, 1851.
At this period, in order to give a
standing to the humble valentine, was
issued a series of six valentines in
honor of the marriage Of Queen Vic
toria to Prince Albert of Saxe-C oburg-
Gotha, February 10, 1910. These val
entines depict various royal residences,
some of them the abodes of the queen
and her royal consort.
The pictures are made from sheets
of cork stamped in bas relief, the foli~
age being represented by granular
pieces of cork. Some of them were
painted with oil colors.
The cards bearing the cork pictures
are glued to perforated sheets of vari-
Gus designs with gilt decorations, three
by four and one-half inches in dimen-
siOnS.
The making of these lace cards was
done by men who devoted their entire
time to this branch of the business.
These men after receiving the em-
bossed sheets laid them one sheet at a
time on steel die and adjusted exact
IL by means of regulating pins at the
corners, and then with fiat iron tools
covered with fine sandpaper, they
rubbed off the projecting bosses in the
paper.

NEW BUILDINGS AT
STATE FAIR PARK
MEMBERS OF ADVISORY BOARD
APPROVE PROGRAM FOR
THE PRESENT YEAR.
STATE TO SPEND $3.50, 600. 90
plan to Erect Four Large Buildings to
Be Used for Agricultural, Horti-
cultural and Educational
Exhibits.

Milwaukee - A building program
which will require expenditures of
$3.50, 900 at the state fair park, was ap-
proved at meeting of the state fair
advisory board held here.
1t is the plan to erect four large
buildings, 125 by 200 feet on the south
ern portion of the ground, to the left
of the main entrance, now unoccup1ed.
The structures will be used for agricul-
tural, horticultural and educational ex-
hibits. One of the buildings will be set
apart for the use of women, while the
administrative offices will be located in
one OF the new buildings.
Drawings were submitted for the
new puoltry building which is to be
erected this year on the west side OF
the grounds, north of the automobile
building. The poultry building will be
40 by 800 feet. An, appropriation of
$4,000 has been authorized for the
structure.
The moving of the main entrance of
the park further west, from which a
ninety-foot roadway will run through
the park, is one of the propositions be-
ing considered by the advisory board.
1t is the plan to locate the principal
buildings on either side of the road
while concession stands would be sit
uated near the center of the park.
Athur Peabody, state architect, and
w. G. Kirchoffer, state consulting engi-
neer, submitted plans to improve
drainage systems on the grounds this
year. About $62,5OO wild be spent in
such Improvements.
Under a new plan of operation $685.
000 will be given to the fair board in
July, to allow the management to pay
bills promptly and secure discounts.
One of the features of this years
state fair which will be held Sept. 8 to
Is, will be a large tractor display.

NEW WAGE BILL IS
BEING PREPARED
INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION i
GIVEN POWER 70 PROBE
AND ISSUE ORDERS.
2 MEASURES NOW PENDING.
One Provides Minimum Pay System
for Various Industries and the
Other Applies to Public
Service Corporations.

Madison-A new bill is being draft
ed on the subject of the minimum
wage, to be presented soon. 1t empow-
ers the Wisconsin industrial commits
sion to make inquiries into working
conditions for women and to issue
minimum wage orders where such liy-
ing conditions in the opinion of the
commission demand them.
There are now two bills on the min
imum wage question before the legis-
lature, one Of which provides a system
of minimum wages for various Indus
tries which are to remain effective I'M
til the industrial commission has made
an inquiry and ordered to the contrary
and either raises or lowers the scale
of the minimum wage. The other APP
plies only to public service corpora
tons and fixes minimum wage for
women in the employ of those corpora
tons at So a week. until the Wiscon-
sin industrial commission shall fix a
wage for these women employees.
The general bill on the subject was
introduced into the assembly by As
semblyman Bradley Of Douglas county,
Republican, while the bill regarding
public service corporations was intro
duced into the senate by Senator Arm
old, Social-Democrat.
This minimum wage question will
be theme which will attract good
deal Of attention before the legisla-
ture. Legislation is probable, as many
new members think it is time Wiscon-
sin gave cognizance to this question.

and found it to contain a deed grant,
ing to (Miss) Dorothea Ravens, her

'sThe extravagant boy!'' she cried. He

"This is Bently of Bently, Robertson &

She could scarcely find voice to re-
