wreath of stars in her softly waving
hair. She is bidding farewell to the
Prince of Wales, and wears an ex-
preston of friendliest good will,
with just the faint touch of wistful-
ness which a girl sometimes lets shine
out OF her eyes when she says good
bye to chap whom she likes a good
deal and means to permit to write to
her.
That's one of the prettiest things
you've done in a long time" comment
ed friend of Mr.. Reid's, who happen
ed into his studio on Fifth avenue the
day he was finishing the cartoon.
Good reason why" chuckled the
artist Il had something pretty to
draw. You can't expect a political
cartoonist always to turn out pictures
of exquisite beauty when you stop to
mediate on the average pulchritude
of the men in public life, whose foibles
and fads, shortcomings and inconsis-
tencies it is the cartoonist's business
in life to show up in the most humor-
Gus possible manner. It's only opce in
while that the cartoonist has a
chance to show his appreciation of
beauty and his skill in portraying it.
Miss Columbia is, of course, always
an opportunity to do something a bit
decorative. And this time l took for
my model one of the prettiest faces 1
have encountered in real life in a long
while-the face of little Miss Con-
SedllCe bInIleys Inc actress ana screen
star. Hers is a face of great charm
and mobile beauty. and tho she is such
a tiny person, being scarcely more
than five feet tall, she has a pretty
little dignity all her own. and a great
deal of poise, so that it occurred to me
that hers was not unlike the ideal face
we like to associate with our national
goddess.
II first met Bliss Binney last sum-
mer, when she was signed for photo
play work by the Realart Pictures Cor
] poration, which had been organized by
/ friends of mine from the West. 1 saw
! her at work in the motion picture stu
dio, and made several sketches of her
at that time. / had them here in my
studio, and when 1 was ready. to make
my cartoon of Columbia speeding
Wales on his way, it occurred to me
| to use her delicate. yet strong profile
in my picture. l gave her as smart an
/ evening gown as i could find in any
Of the Fifth Avenue shops. and 1 per
Tlnitted the attractive Prince to show
his deep admiration. Notice the look
in his eyes and the way he isn't let
ting go her hand till he positively has
to, to catch the boat home? Well
that's the way everybody feels not
only about America but about Con-
stance Binney."

The fuel situation was much more
encouraging today. Four cars of Ar

Union Pacific today. One car was

the Forbes Milling company, one to
the city light plant and two will be
delivered in wagons to hotels and
plants badly needing steam coal.
The Edison company was given
first call on this coal, but A. H. Purdy
said he had a ten-days' supply on
hand and was assured of more coal

Sometimes she has been depicted as
defiant sort of Amazon, ready, you
felt, at the slightest provocation, to
breathe out threatenings and slaugh-

At other times she has been portrayed
as a buxom, matronly looking person,
with a decidedly phlegmatic and bland
expression. Other artists have shown
our national goddess as a very fair
copy of the symbolic figure of France,

the University of Michigan since 1901
it became known here today. The
proposed modification would in no
way affect the play, according to
Coach Yost.
1t is not the spirit of the rules to
>take away touchdowns by inflicting
penalties, for fouls which had no
mentor holds. In line with that idea
he believes that the rules imposing
ten yard penalties for clipping" or
running into an opponent after the
ball has been declared dead and for
crawling. should be changed to apply
the punishment in such manner that
loss of a touchdown, if one had been
made would not be caused by bring
ing the ball back to where it was put
in play and measuring the distance
from that point.
Coach Yost also favors strongly a
penalty being levied against a team
at the hour for the game to start He
cites the rule penalizing a team for
failure to report promptly at the time
for starting the third quarter. The
fifteen yard penalty for attacking a
runner when he has gone out of

PRESSURE AND PRICES
Latter Regulates Former. Attorneys
for Gas Company Declare.

Gas prices provide their own regu-
lation as to consumption by individual
users, according to a report to the
public utilities commission by F. P.
Fisher. manager of the gas division
of the Empire Gas & Fuel company
at Bartlesville. Okla. Fisher points
to the fact that riotous use of gas in
Wichita, Hutchinson and other towns
has resulted in a low pressure thru
abuse OF low rates. On the other
hand steady pressure and adequate
supplies have been maintained. 1t is
conteneded. in most of the northern
cities which pay high rates.
Wichita, Hutchinson and other
cities pay % cents for gas. Almost
wanton waste is shown in the use of
the gas in some of the cities of south
ern Kansas. They objected bitterly
to an increase in rates and when the
Doherty interests threatened to shut
off supplies and give the fuel to the
towns willing to pay for 1t, there was
wild scramble for state relief. The
Fisher report. however. tells the real
story. It shows that in Topeka. Kan
sas City. Lawrence and other cities
where the so cent rate applies, gas
is not wasted and the company is al BILE
to provide a more even pressure thru
its increasing supplies from the gas
fields
