CATTLE TICK QUARANTINE TO

Failure to Clean Out Remaining Para

Washington, d. c. Aug. 13.-Accord-

States Department of Agriculture, the
Federal quarantine for the cattle fever
tick will be replaced August Is, 1919,

Nevada County was released from

ticks having been reduced in number

complete eradication. But the county

special to The Star.

DptCAdl W lit OltIs
Little Rock, Aug. 13.-The Arkan.
sas Automobile Association, with A
c. Kennel as president, was organ
lied in Little Rock Tuesday after
noon. Under the plan of organiza-
ton, ten men in each county of the
state will be asked to take out char
ter and then organize the county, and
all county associations will be affiliat-
ed with state and national associa-
tons. The association has two OBJ
jects--to prevent theft of cars and to
secure the enactment of legislation
projecting automobile owners.
Judge w. W. Wade Of Pulaski cir
cult court, Municipal Judge Harry c.
Hale, Chief of Police Burl Rotenber-
ry, and Assistant Prosecuting Attor-
ney Abner McGehee addressed the
meeting, giving their idea of what
laws are necessary to properly pro
tect the property of Arkansas auto
mobile owners. They will prepare
these proposed laws before the next
session of the Legislature and the state
organization will fight them thru.
The newly created organization
went on record as opposing any par
dons for men convicted of automobile
theft, and Gov c. H. Brough will be
asked to grant no pardons to persons
convicted of automobile theft without
giving the association chance to be
heard on the subject. This he has con-
sented to do, for Governor Brough has
been a victim of automobile thieves
and has no praise for them.

CHORUS GIRLS IN WALL ST.
New York Is Almost Solid for the
Pretty Strikers.

New York, Aug. IA Whatever the
general merits of the actors strike
that has knocked some of the gay
lights out of Broadway, New York is
about 99.5 per cent. for the striking
chorus girls.
Fourteen walking delegates" of the
new chorus girls union invaded Wall
street and the downtown financial dis
trict yesterday to seek popular sup
port and they got it--oh, they got it
with no trouble at all. Brokers and
bankers went flying out to the street,
deserving million dollar transactions
to see the touring car loads of beauty
and to shout: Whose all right
chorus girls" Which was interpreted
by the chorus girls to mean that their
cause was all right.
Demands of Chorus Girls.
Here are the chorus girl demands,
formulated at a meeting at which
Marie Dressler,, who once earned SO a
week as chorus sprite but who long
ago outgrew tights, was elected pres
ident of the union:
Free shoes and silk stocking (for
the theatre).
Half pay for rehearsals lasting
more than four weeks. CAT present the
girls get no pay for rehearsals.).
No discrimination by managers in
favor of "good lockers
Ethel Barrymore motored in to tell
the chorus girls she was with them to
the limit, and one of the chorus boys
forty are members of the union too
led shrill cheers with little bamboo
cane. Miss Dressler was first opposed
for the presidency by one of the lovli-
est girls from the "Follies," but some
of the girls thought the "Follies'
queen would arouse jealousy because
of her youth and good looks, SO they
made it unanimous for Miss Dressler,
who admitted she had neither.

URGE METRIC SYSTEM HERE.

Anglo-Saxon Measure Units Are Anti
quated, San Francisco Club Says.
From The Brooklyn Eagle.
Circular matter sent broadcast over
the United States by the Worlds
Trade Club of San Francisco contin-
ues or renews the agitation for the
adoption of the metric system of
weights and measures by the United
States and England. Almost every
country outside Of Great Britain and
America is using what Is called the
''meter-liter-gram" standards. The San
Franciscans say:
1T would be comical, If its issues
were not so tragic, that Brittania and
America use the old strapped German
tumble, while Germany uses ours-the
efficient, decimal, scientific, automat-
ic system, a thousand times more eff
fective than the ones the Germans
scrapped In 1871. All the
world has adopted the alphabet of let
tiers, the Arabic numerals
What all the world adopts must be
simple, simple as the decimal units
are"
IT is true sthat in the World War
both the British and the Americans
found 1t wise to use the metric system.
1t it probably an exaggeration to say
that the kaiser predicted two years
delay In Allied preparation for the war
because of divergent standards. AT
home we stick to our yards, our gal
Ions, our pounds, and so does England.
Anglo Saxondom is slow to change
things. But the San Francisco agita-
tion is worth while and 1t is timely
just now. The lands where we must
seek trade chiefly are not Anglo-Saxon
and are already using the metric sys'

AN EXODUS FROM GERMANY.
Millionaires Transfer Fortunes d

Millionaires Transfer Fortunes 10
Switzerland to Escape Taxes.
Zurich, Aug. 1.-THE following was
taken from the want ad column OF the
Zurich Nouvelle Gazette:
Swiss gentleman will undertake the
transfer from Germany into Switzer-
land of large fortunes. Guarantees
furnished"
And this little ad tells two interest
ing stories. In the first place 1t shows
that German millionaires are begin
ming their flight from the 'Fatherland"
to escape the Inevitable heavy taxes
to be levied for years on big fortunes.
And the Swiss havve created a
new profession to handle the
situation namely, an organiza-
ton to get these fortunes and
their owners into Switzerland despite
German laws and police efforts to the
contrary.
The sequel to this story is that as
a result of the thrush of German for
tunes, Switzerland's per capita wealth
has jumped beyond that of any coun-
try in the world.

Ernest A. Hamill president OF the

soled twice" he said when questioned.
Most of the men of my acquaintance
have spent less on their wardrobe in
the last two years than in any other
two years of the last twenty" he said.
THE average business man sees the
need for conservative buying In times
of high prices 1t is a mater of good
business with him"
Britton |. Budd, president of the
Chicago elevated lines, has been hav-
ing his old shoes made over ever since
this country entered the war.

| it Is the workingman who is buying
shoes at the top of the market and
keeping prices high.

are going to those who never before
have been able to pay for them, and

Merrick said. The workingman with
his new scale of wages is buying re
