CHICAGO, Feb. 10.-The Mid-Year
Conference of the American Electric
Railway association here tomorrow,
representing an industry that carries
about 100000, 900 passengers year,
and embraces a mileage that would en-
circle the globe twice, recalls some or
the early struggles of the pioneers in
street railway management to induce
a rather unwilling public to ride on
their cars. 1t was no easy task to per-
suade the public of fifty years ago
that the horse car was necessity,
or was it easy some twenty years
later to convince it that the electrical
ly propelled car was not menace to
the public safety.
Several of the first horse car lines in
the United States failed because of
lack of patronage and many electric
lines found it difficult to establish
their industry because of deeply root
ed fear that electrically charged wires
would set houses on fire and kill pedes-
trians and horses in the street.

Union of South Africa
Honors General San Smuts

PRETORIA, Union of South Afri-
ca, Feb. 10.-General SHUTS, prime
minister of the Union of South Afri-
ca, was elected to the house of es-
sembly from the district of Pretoria
west, in the election held throughout
the Union Tuesday.
Returns received up until an early
hour today indicated the South AT
rican party, under the leadership of
General SHUTS, had won a victory.
There was some uncertainty as to the
vote in the rural districts. but the
South African party seemed assured
of good working majority in the
assembly.
Tuesdays elections in the Union OF
South Africa were considered as vital
ly important to the future status OF
that British dominion. General Jan
Christian SHUTS, prime minister OF the
union, headed the South African party
which represented the larger British
element of the population and Dutch
who believed that in the union had
been found the solution of the polite
al problems of the country.
General HertZog sponsored policy
which virtually amounted to secession
from the British empire. and number
ed among his followers many of thu
men who fought with the Boer:
against Great Britain. Frederick H
Creswell was leader of the Laborit,
party during the campaign and it wa
| charged that strike was called in thu
, Rand district for the purpose of con
solidating the ranks of the labor or
ganization.

owned by the company and although
they late their heads off, while the
line was in operation, their sale event
ually helped meet the operating deficit
that piled up in the eighteen months
endeavor to put The line on it's feet.
In the archives of the association is
found report from BENJAMIN F. Owen.
Mr.. Owen early planned to induce
riding by having one of the terminals
of his line at the town cemetery. In
1890, soon after identification of street
cars began, he. made report to the
association in which he urged strongly
paying the proper attention to the
cemetery business.
IF you have a cemetery on your
line" he urged, "have the papers call
attention to every new monument
erected; that will add visitors. Soon
lot owners, seeing the many visitors,
will beautify their lots. The cemetery
then becomes one of the attractions
for strangers"

Finally a life ticket on the line was
offered to all who would contribute
$500 towards helping build the half
mile extension. The ticket was made
transferable during the first five years
and redeemable after that date. Thus
the money for the line was raised.
The company officials also issued
per cent bonds with the interest pay
able in tickets, "a for $100, to owners
of property along the line. Thus the
car riding habit was cultivated.

A novelty fabric for spring evening
wear is an excessively thin velvet. 1t
might have been worn at one of those
sumptuous and ceremonial weddings
which were n feature of the italian
Renaissance. True, we are slipping
from under the influence of the four
teenth century. but we continue to use
the fabrics that were bought by those
extravagant and volatile women led by
the Duchess of Milan. This thin velvet
is one of them. The smart French and
Italian women will use 1t for evening
gowns on the Riviera. We will make an
attempt to do likewise.
Yellow. mulberry. rose pink, mauve
and French blue are the colors chosen

flowers attached. there are garlands that

maybe there are punches Mt one hip with
trailing ends. Morning glories with all

used whenever their vivid coloring per-

pectations that during the present SEES
sion Of congress the proposed national

The idea OF q woman in the cabinet
emanated from President Harding

shat occasion the workers for the bet

relations surged to the famous porch
IN such amazing numbers and with
such various appeal that it affected
Mr.. Harding deeply. He felt their
work to be something in the nature

has made it clear that he would ap-
