BOOZE REFORM.
Chicago Tribune.


The senate proposal to prohibit whis-
key and other distilled spirits is a move
in the right direction. We do not be-
lieve beer and light wines should be
prohibited, at least for the present,
But we think it would be unfortunate
TO allow the manufacturers 20 raise the
alcoholic content OF these drinks by the
addition Of distilled spirits. The chief
value of the proposed legislation is the
opportunity to bring about booze re-
form, but the reform won't amount to
much if wine containing 20, 80, or 40
per cent. alcohol can be made and sold.
The solution of the liquor problem
may lie in prohibiting all ardent drinks
and permitting only the sale of bever-
ages Of slight alcoholic content. The
United States now has the chance to
make the experiment. But in making
the experiment congress should take
precautions not to leave any loopholes
for Demon Rum and his allies to crawl
through.

Some Birds Are "Sprinters.~

Birds with short, square wings, like
the king bird, quail and ruffled grouse,
are sprinters; those with wide
stretch of wings are distance run
ners.' Birds OF the first class attain
their bursts OF speed through their
very rapid wing stroke; birds OF the
second class have sustained powers OF
hight, but get under way more slowly
All the gallinaceous fowl are sprint
ers. They take wing like a bullet !;
their wings make a loud, whirring
sound. The quail or rufiled grouse can
gain full momentum within sixty feet
of rising; the wings beat from five to
seven times a second. The quail COW
erS from forty-flye to fifty feet the first
second away from the gun his wings

The wings Of the ruiIled grouse roar

Cedric Shaw was intently watching
the girl across the room. Sometimes
the swaying dancers in the hotel ball
room came between him and her; but
always his gaze went back persistently
to the bright animated face of young
woman who stood talking with an elder
ly lady. The first thing that had at"
tracted him was the absence of the
painted lips and cheeks, which he saw
on almost all of the young girls pres
ent. Next 10 take his attention was
the pretty dancing gown, which unlike
the others covered her back, and came
above the shoulders all around In q be-
coming line.
The young man could not have been
called old-faShioned or straight laced
but n certain fine respect for woman

in him by his mother felt kind Of re-
pulsion ut the artificially covered faces,

the girls ne met In society everywhere.
He felt that this girl must be differ

conviction grew. He determined to
know her, md started out to see If he
could find someone to Introduce him.
Finally he accomplished his object,
and soon found himself guiding Miss
Burt through the mnzes Of the dancers.

He managed to get an invitation 10

since Miss Burt was quite as anxious
that he should ask us he was to get the
permission. If the truth must be told
she was at the same time experiencing
something like the same alarming
symptoms the young man was suffer-
ing. She had not analysed her reasons

arguing today over who shall hold
first place for the time being, are
leaving the rest of the National
league out of the running for pub
licity honors.
In spite of the limelight posi-
tons of these eastern teams, 1t is
a fact that the Chicago Cubs have
scored more runs for the season
than either of them. The evidence
of good pitching beginning to
crop out again among the Cubs
and the fact that the Chicagoans
are holding third place in the
averages, may mean anything but
a happy summer for Pat Moran
and the Giants.
The Giants, favored everywhere
in this years dash for champion
ship honors, have scored 223 runs
since the season opened. The
Phillies have tagged the rubber
just once less than the Giants,
while the Cubs, with team rated
much weaker as hitters than either
the Phillies or Giants, have denied
the plate 277 times.
