RuskIn as a Grocer

Ruskin was once a grocer. In 1874
he opened a shop in Paddington
street. Noting Hill, in order. as he
announced. ito supply the poor with
pure tea In packets as small as they
chose to buy, without making a profit
on the subdivision, large orders being.
Of course, equally acceptable from
anybody who cares to promote honest
dealing" The shop did not attract.
Ruskin complained in Fors C~layigera
that "the poor only like to buy their
tea where 1t 10 brilliantly lighted and
eloquently ticketed. and as I resolute-

Standardization would be apt to
take she outlined the following:
"All costumes VIII embody sense,

short skirts. but not too short. SEN

the waistline will not disappear.
"Decollette gowns will be worn for

WOMAN IS SAID To HAVE

PITTSBURGH, Dec. 29-It is
claimed tina the first gas mask
based upon the use of charcoal for
the absorption of highly poisonous
gases from the atmosphere, the prin-
ciple which in actual practice was go
valuable to the armies IN the world
war, was made by the late Mrs. j. b.
Garner, of Pittsburgh. This state
ment is made at the Mellon Institute
of Research here
Mrs. Garner, the wife of the direc-
tor of research of an important natu-
raj gas company here, became inter
ested in the experiments her husband
was conducting in connection with the
gases which at h a time, early In
1915, had appeared on the battle
fields OF Europe. When the principle
was once established, the Institute de-
clared, Mrs. Garner designed and
made a dozen gas masks of the CAMS
ter type, and in June, 1915, they
were handed over to the representa-
lives in America of the British gov
eminent. They sent to England, and
from his first design other gas masks
were made.
When the United States entered the
war full details of the experimental
work, ard all apparatus that had been
employed were supplied to the gov
eminent. Mrs. Garner, whose hus-
band is O. fellow of the Mellon fnsti-

GERMAN LEADERS DIFFER
ON 1920 ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

BERLIN, Dec. 29.-The spectre of
the enormous emergency levy on
property which threatens drastically to
reduce German industrial fortunes in
the next ten years makes it difficult for
Germans to forecast the economic
outlook of their country for 1920.
Leaders in financial. political and So
cial circles are divided in their opin-
ions of the measures for national re-
lief proposed by Matthias Erzberger,
Minister Of Finance.
There is a widespread belief among
writer's in Germany, thai If two of
Germany will face a future overcast
with black clouds, if not actual ruin.
The most important of these two
measures Is the emergency levy on
property which financial writers assert
will reduce industrial fortunes of TO-
600, 900 marks to less than 10000 900
in O. decade. The second measure is
the income tax, which 1t is claimed by
some, will "beggar every modest
fortune as well as every great for
tune"
Bankers say it all eomes down to
this that America must come to our
aid"
They wish a comparatively small,
direct credit and disapprove of the
much discussed international loan
which, they believe, would saddle the
debts of England n France on the
United States and thereby, perhaps
reduce the amount of credit Germany
might obtain.

PIERRE, S. D.. Dec. 29-Of all the
Iratifyfng states, South Dakota. twenty
first on the list, has the most pictur-
esque story to tell. At least no other
state has the distinction of holding a
midnight special Session and finish
ing up the task of ratifying between
supper and breakfast.
1t looked for a while to South Da-
kota s~uffragists as If circumstances
would do them out of prompt ratifca-
ton, owing to the fac that Governor
lNorbeck is obliged to call a special
session early in 1920 n did not feel
justified in calling n now unless the
members of the legislature would be
willing to come without any expense to
the state. .
1t was Mrs. John r. Pyle, president
of the South Dakota State League of
Women Voters and recently elected
presidential elector from her state,
who thought of a way TO get around
1.-THE difficulty.
The Richards primary law provides
that on the second Tuesday Of Decem-
Der so-called proposal men" meet at
the state capitol to propose state can
didates to be voted on at the March
primaries. Mrs. Pyle realized that
this meeting might be utilized to
further a special session, knowing h a
there would be legislators present who
would be actlng as men
What further added to the possibility
of getting the legislature together
without expense to the state was the
fact that there were to be three differ
ent political conventions held at the
same time, Republican, Democratic
and Nonpartisan.
Accordingly, after receiving h as
,surance that a majority Of the mem
bers were willing to ONE to Pierre at
their own expense, Governor Norbeck
issued q call for a special session to
be held Dec. 2 at 7 o'clock in the eve
ming. According to law, three legis-
l~Iative days are necessary for the pas
sage of q bill. Therefore, the first and
second readings were given in one
day and final passage took place at
l12:44 a. m. Dec. 4.
This was the first time in the his
tory of South Dakota tina a legisla-
ture convened in the middle of the
might.
