Houses Few-Less Divorce.

France is finding one comfort In the
housing shortage. Divorces are de-
creasing In Paris and other French
cities because Of the lack of houses
and apartments"
Unable to find suitable places in
which to live apart, disgruntled cou-
pies in many places are composing
their differences. and continuing to
live under the same roof. During the
first three months of this year, 8,OO5
DEGREES were pronounced in Paris
alone, but since April the shortage Of
houses has been making itself felt,
with the result that the number Of
divorce actions has been falling stead
lily. Last month the number Of APP
plications fell below one THOUSAND, and
this month 1t is believed the number
will not reach the seven hundred mark.
1t is an i'll wind, etc. a

BOMBAY A CITY OF BEGGARs
Government Is Planning Severe Meas
ures to Repress Nuisance That Is
Becoming intolerabie.

Some time ago the government or
Bombay appointed a committee to con-
slider and formulate proposals for the
purpose of suggesting practical meas
ures whereby the ever-growing nuis-
ance Of professional beggary might be
abolished. The committee has now
completed its investigation and has
issued a report.
The report shows that there are in
Bombay city alone 5000 professional
beggars, and the beggars in other
parts bring the total for the presi-
dency to over 10000. The general
conclusions Of the committee are that
there must be introduced at the earli-
est opportunity an act for the preven-
ton of professional beggary, which
will be applicable to the whole Of the
presidency.
Sadhus and fakirs, 1t is suggested,
should be exempt from the operations
Of the act, which it Is proposed should
make begging a cognizable offense.
Those who have visited India will
doubtless recall with feelings of horror
the terrible sights they have witnessed
of beggars, many of them physical
wrecks and suffering from loathsome
diseases, seated about the roads So
Letting aims from passersby.-From
the Times of India.

War Maps for Envelopes.

From the Red Cross Bulletin Of the
Baltic states. published at Riga:
"The shortage of paper has resulted
in many novel makeshifts. One of
these is the use of German and Rus
sian official war maps as material for
envelopes.
'Large quantities of war maps Of the
Russian, the German imperial army
and Bermont's western volunteer army
were captured by the Let's since their
independence in November. 1918. They
were sold to private interests, who
make many varieties of envelopes from
them. The paper is of excellent quail
ity.
mo attempt was made to remove
the map proper. The maps were SIM
ply folded and cut to size and glued.
It is very convenient to open letter
and find that the inside OF the envelope
is q map of the district Of which the
letter treats"

Geo. Hamilton of Two Rivers writes
to James Nevin of the Conservation

brook trout from the state hatcheries,
last season produced some trout
weighing two pounds. The people in
the vicinity of these streams are anx-

Prehistoric Graveyard unearthed.

"A prehistoric graveyard believed TO
be at least 1000 years old has been
unearthed near Stargard West Prus-
sia, by German investigators under
the direction Of Professor Zakrewski.
In one of the graves the excavators
found six black urns and one red urn
with white stripes filled with clay and
ashes. Among the remains were some
glittering substances which the inves-
tigators believe once had been adorn-
ments of prehistoric men and women.

DC MOST WORK ON THURSDAY
Statistics Show That British Factory
Employees Are at Their Best
About MidWeek.

What is the best workday in Amer
lea? In England 1t is Thursday.
That is the finding Of industrial re-
search board investigators of that
country. The London Chronicle reports
that over period of twenty weeks
the output was registered and
graphs" were made.
The workers gave their best on
Wednesdays and Thursdays, but the
output on Saturday was invariably
low. When doubled Ito equalize time)
it is often less than rs per cent OF that
on other days.
Another important conclusion was
that the skilled workman is much
more regular in his output than the
worker not so well qualified. He does
not get the stirred Saturday feeling"
so soon.
In some factories the output arises
until Friday, but among the less skilled
workmen it was found that Thurs
day was the best working day.
An important consideration which
the investigators kept in mind was
that of the atmospheric condition In
which work is done. Records OF the
air conditions have been taken with
the output records.
In various plants the Saturday out
put was so low that employers found
1t improbable to operate, SO they
closed down. From this it would ap-
pear that on half day the worker
does not give the average of half
day of production.-Richard Spillane
in the Philadelphia Public Ledger.

Children Walking Streets

Madison, Wis.-Two thousand boys
and girls, none over seventeen years
of age, are walking the streets of
Milwaukee, attending no school and
out of work This is one of the ser
ious problems of the Industrial Com
mission, and also one of the states
big educational problems. They are
children to whom permission was CIV

slump in industry threw them out OF
employment and they are out Of touch.
with the schools.
Marketing Bill Discussed
The new marketing bill now before
the legislature has given rise to much
discussion. Director Nordman of the
State Division of Markets has eX-
pressed in concrete form the purpose
of the bill and the general purpose
aimed at by his division, which is:
"That the producer, whether in agrl-
culture OF industry in the cities, shall
get a lust share of what he produces
/ do not say liberal or a generous
share, but just share. The denial
of this to producers explains much o.
the present European turmoil.
Regarding Sale of Fireworks
The Industrial Commission warns
merchants not to be misled by sales
men selling fireworks that all kinds of
fireworks may this year be sold in
Wisconsin. There has been no change
in the regulations which were enforc-
ed last year and no bill is pending in
the legislature attempting to make
such a change. On the contrary, the
fireworks order of the Industrial Com
mission will be more strictly enforced
this year than ever before.
New Teachers Retirement Bill
The new teachers retirement bill
now before the Legislature, and which
at this time bids fair to become law,
includes all schools Except the city
schools in Milwaukee, supported by
public funds, including normal schools
and university. Membership includes
three classes: All present members

Speaking Of tips and tipping, New

a set of rules, a few of which we give
below:
Don't waste time on "big bugs"
Shower attention on women; if they

Don't persecute tightwads; shame
them with faultless service.
Play the honeymooners hard; newly

fore their brides.
Don't act ugly when guest departs

Wisconsin will be represented in the
fourteenth annual meeting of the Ma
tional Assembly of Civil Service Com
missions to be held at Minneapolis

Hydrophobia Would Disappear
If for two years, says the State
Board of Health, all dogs in the Unit
ed States were required to be muzzled
hydrophobia would disappear from the
country, as it has from England.
5000 Miles of Trout Streams
Are you interested to know that
Wisconsin has $500 rivers and
streams with an aggregate length OF
$4,000 miles; that it has 5000 miles
of trout streams, almost wholly free
from pollution; $500 lakes. and 1000
smaller ones called ponds? The state
has upwards of twenty-six watersheds
each caused by river of considerable
size.
The New Wet-Dry Bill
There must be added to the list OF
highly important measures which
heretofore included the appropriation
bills and the educational bills, the new
wet-dry bill. There is sure to be big
fight made upon it. The fact that the
Governor has entered the fight makes
it certain that it will be an interest
ing one. To make predictions at this
time as to the outcome may not be
safe, but it looks as if the vets would
have the best of it, with the Governor
and the new prohibition commission
err on that side. The drys say they
are well satisfied to make the fight
now, and entirely willing to go be-
fore the people on the issue next year.
The SkogmO Educational Bill
The Skogmo educational bill which
contemplates the creation of new
state board of education which shall
direct and control all the educational
activities of the state, and which pro-
poses to abolish all existing boards,
has not vet been scheduled for a
hearing. Senator Skogmo is DESTROYS
of having his measure given wide
consideration before it comes up for
hearing in order that it can sbe the
more intelligently discussed.
| Skogmo's Assessor Bill Up This Week
This week the Senate committee on
corporations and the assembly COM
mittee on taxation will hold a joint
hearing on the Skogmo bill, No. 1886
S, which proposes to abolish local as
SCISSORS Except in cities of the first
class) and to create the office of
county assessor. This is one Of the
most important measures concerning
taxation that has come before this
session.
