WANTED TO SEE THAT PIG
Animal" Had a Strange Fascination for the Thirsty Fasteners of
 Century Ago.

The present prohibition law is much more stringent than was the dry law of Massachusetts of 100 years ago, when the Striped Pig' gained it's fame. At that time the law read that liquor could not be secured, save in 15-gallon lots. That gave the 'pig" it's chance.
 An enterprising resident attended the military muster on the Readville fair grounds, and established side show A banner before the tent Haunted the likeness of a red and black pig, which, sign said, could be seen for four pence. Many men went in to see the strange animal and returned many times. As the law did not pro- hibit the exhibitor from giving away liquor he gave each patron generous glass of the forbidden drink from a large stock he had laid in. The Striped Pig" became famous over night. Songs were written about the animal bev- craze was named after it, and bur lesque play in New York adopted the absurd title.

Praises Japanese Music.

The song which Japanese worlSmen sing when raising the roof tree of a new building ranks with the purest music in the world, according to Henry Eichheim, a Boston composer, who is spending year in Japan studying oriental music, says the New York Evening Post. He said in Tokyo: "The orientals have evolved by the process of elimination perfect philosophy perfect art and perfect music.

Bill Providing for
Retirement Of Judges
Now Goes to President

The senate has concurred in the
conference report on the judgeShlp
bill, which was originally introduced
by Senator Hoke Smith in that body,
and by Representative Carlin in the
house. Senator Smith presented the
conference report which the senate
approved. The house already has
adopted the conference report : and
the bill. now goes to the president
who. is expected to sign it promptly.
The biz as adopted carries a pre-
vision permitting judges past sew
enty to retire on full pay, and au-
thorizes the president; when he
70 discharge efficiently all the
mental or physical disability, to ap-
point an additional judge, and there
after it is provided that the judge
already in office shall be held anG
treated as junior to the new judge.
The bill is in many respects sim
liar to the bill introduced by Sena-
tor Boke Smith two years ago, which
at that time passed only the senate.
1t, however, carries an additional
provision allowing the judge past
seventy to go upon the retired list
at his own request.
When the president appoints an
additional judge, the judge already
in office continues to draw his full
salary during the remainder of his
life. The bill also increases the sal
aries of district court judges to ST.
500 a year, and of circuit court
Judges to $500 year.

TO MEASURE AND
CONTROL GERMANS
NOW UNDER ARMS
Military Committee Has Big
Job That Must Be Finished
Before Peace Conference
Can Go On

An effort to ascertain the strength
and resources of the Germany army
will be the first problem considered
by the military committee appointed
in Paris by the supreme war coun,
Gil, to report on the strength of the
allied and associated forces to be re-
tanned on the western front during
the period of the armistice.
1t was assumed that the Germans
now have about 100000 men under
arms, but it is necessary to confirm
these figures and also to determine
to what extent the manufacture Of
arms, munitions and other military
supplies is going on.
The purpose is to maintain a
strength at all times superior to the
present or potential strength of the
Germans. There are now eight Amer
lean divisions in Germany and the
findings of the committee will de-
termine whatever may be possible
to reduce this force and send the
men home. The British and French
commands share the desire to hasten
rehabilitation, so it is expected that
the committee will report at the
earliest possible moment.
The inquiry is not understood to
apply to the entente and American
forces in Siberia and at ArchangeI,
where they will be maintained pend
ing the issue of the Princes Islands
