GAINED AND LOST FORTUNES
English Oandies Played for High
Stakes in the Latter Part of
Eighteenth Century.

Almack's was one Of the famous old
gambling clubs Of London. 1t was at
It's height in the latter part of the
Eighteenth century, and the play there
was enormous. 1t was not uncommon
for the losses in a single night to
amount to upwards of 100000.
The young men, handles all, who in.
tended to play set about the matter
with great deal Of ceremony. They
wore straw hats with wide brims,
flower and ribbon trimmed; the brims
intended to keep the light from their
eyes, and hat the spectators might
not see their emotions they often wore
masks. They also often took off their
ruilies and silk or satin coats and wore
in their place a rough great-coat or
else wound leather bands about their
arms TO protect The delicate lace and
hues Of their coats from the soil Of the
table.
At each players side was a small
table that held their tea, wine cakes
and rolls Of rouleaus or chips. Most
of the players wore long curls. eve.
glasses mounted on long sticks. were
perfumed powdered and painted ike
court ladies', and some Of them even
affected a mincing ladylike waik. But
those who made the error Of thinking
them ladylike in their fghtng ability
made a mistake that often cost q ia.
for the gay young sTarks would draw
swords at he drop Of hat and meet
death with q Iangh.

my shOulderblade. and the worst of
them is this thing of giving foreign
spelling and pronunciation To our
home grown names. There isn't a
finer or statelier name in the city di-
rectory than Mary. The most dis.
tnguiShed woman this world ever saw
had that name, and it was good enough
for her.
ANY woman who tries to rear
range such a name as that has some
thing wrong with her intellect. and
III be afraid to have her under my
roof. At any moment she might be-
come a gibbering maniac.
when l was young all the good
old fashioned names were in evidence
everywhere. The woods were full of
Elizabeths and Decreases and NIatil-
das. The women who had such names
were proud of them. and never mon
keyed with them. Had they done so,
they'd have been cast into outer dark
ness by polite society. Just today |
was glanCing over the newspaper and
saw some mention of a woman who
calls herself Elizabeth Now, / wonder
what that " is doing there Sane
people don't spell Elizabeth with a "
and in the grand old days the people
wouldn't have stood for such an in
noyation. But in these modern times
all the institutions of our fathers and
mothers are being overturned, and if
a girl is so fortunate as to receive a
stately name at her christening, she
devotes the best years OF her life to
overhauling il, SO it will look like
something escaped from a fcebie-mind-
ed institution.
There is no law to prevent women
from maltreating their names. SO we
can't rebuke them by process Of ware
rant, but we can at least set our faces
against the fool custom and close our
doors to the guilty parties. I am a
man of hospitable instincts, and would
welcome to my abode the yoriost beg
gar or social outcast, but no Marie,
Kathryn or Mae will eyr. enter this
house while I have strength to resist.
When ! see them coming I'll sell my
life as dearly as possible, Mrs. James

My sainted mother was the
smoothest woman / ever knew. TAX

stacked up about as high as anyone.
She never tried to cut a swath In So
cial circles, for she had profound
contempt for everything that was tri-
fling or superficial and she had a rev.
elence for old ways and customs.
Her front name was Isabella and
she wore il. without any frilIs or fur
bellows, as long as she lived. She
never sent that name to the upholster-
er or taxidermist To have 1t made over.
She realized that famous queens and
other great women wore that name,
ard she was proud of it, You might
have argued her into having her hair
shingled or her front teeth pulled out,
but if you had suggested rcarrangiug
her name she'd have thought your
proper place was the BOBBY hatch. Her
name was a treasured possession, an
heirloom more precious than the fam

Change Rules to
Speed Legislation
(By Associated Pressl

>Madson-An effort to extradite pro-
cedure with a hope of shortening the
legislature will be made by the COM
mittee on state affair, Chairman
Roethe announced today. He declared
that many changes in the rules would
be proposed by the committee which if
accepted would make radical change
in the process of procedure at the
state capitol. Most important of these
is change in the present order of
business wherein the legislature holds
four day session and adjourns for
the end of the week. By the plan to be
recommended by the committee, the
Houses will recess every ten days in
stead Of every four as at the present.
This would result in committee meet
ings five days week instead of three.
Also there will be presented proposal
to open meetings at nine7thirty in
stead of ten-thirty. All bills will be
asked for return from committees two
weeks after the time that they are
reported to the committee.

DOLLAR PASSES
FIND 300 BUYERS
First Day of New Traffic
Rates Shows Many Peo-
pie Interested.
MANY MORE EXPECTED

The weekly Dollar Pass" did not
take Kenosha "by storm" on Monday
when the new form of street railway
traffic was put into operation by the
Wisconsin, Gas and Electric company,
but officials of the company We're
pretty well satisfed with the showing
of the first day. Three hundred of
the dollar passes were in use on the
lines on Monday and it was the ex-
pectation of the officials of the com
pany that more would be used before
the end'a of the week. All sorts of
schemes were being used in order to
make the passes do the most service
and one man who purchased one of
them rode the street cars nearly all
day. He declared in the evening that
he had his moneys worth of riding
even if he never got on car again.
"The sale of the passes was not as
large as we had hoped for" said Man
ager Ora Koenes of the company, "but
there were three hundred of them IN
use and we think that this was a
pretty good start. We believe that
three thousand people in Kenosha
should buy this form of transporta-
ton. We believe that these people
will find it of value of reducing the
cost of the use of the street railway
Of course we know that it takes time
to develop a new system on the street
cars, but we know that after the peo-
pie have used this ticket that they
are going like it and be steady buy
ers of them. We want the people to
try them out and see just how much
can be saved by the use of them"
It was admitted that the fact that
the dollar passes" were in operation
had shown an increase in passenger
traffic on the lines, but the increase
was not large.

FLETCHER JOINS
HARDING PARTY
Rumor Is Heard That Former Ambas-
sador May Be Named Secretary
of State by Harding.
(By United Press

Rock Ledge, Fla.-The presence in
President-elect Harding's vacation par
ty today of Henry Fletcher, former
ambassador to Mexico, led to the inn
preston that he might be under con-
sideration as secretary of state as a
compromise between Charles Hughes
and EHhu Root. Fletcher entered the
diplomatic service under Roosevelt.
He is related by marriage to Henry P.
Dawson, of J. P. Morgan & Co. The
voyage of the houseboat Victoria was
halted here while Harding joined in a
golf game on the Rock Ledge links.
The president-elect's face was taking
on tan today under the warm southern
sun. He appeared much refreshed by
his vacation. His time on the house
boat is spent reading, swapping stor-
les or basking in the sun. The fast
schedule of the Victoria will be slowed
to give Harding a chance to fish along
the way He may spend the night
here and proceed leisurely tomorrow
He is now nearly half way to Miami.

to reach.

Italians Peeved
at the PrOfiteers
Which Goes to Prove That Some Men
Use a Gun and Others a Cash
Register for HOldup.

Rome-The Italian middle classes
whose incomes remain substantially
what they were before the war, are
angrily resisting what they denounce
as the Outrageous prices for necessi-
ties exacted by proiteers." The scenes
of indignation which occur in some
of the stores Of Rome show the ex-
ASPIRATION Of the consumers.
One man who was asked the equiva-
lent of $4,000 for a pair of shoes, told
the shopkeeper: Burglars who enter
your house and rob are not the only
holdup men in this town. You. come in
the same category" Another man,
when asked the equivalent of $4,000
for hat, told the shopkeeper that he
was the manufacturer of the hat and
had sold it to the dealer for $1,000. He
called the retailer "a robber."
Lately the shopkeepers have been
compelled to mark the prices in plain
figures on every article in the shop
windows in the vain hope that trades
men would be ashamed to ask exorbi-
tant prices; the only effect apparently
has been to level prices upward in
stead of down.

Armed with six warrants, secretly
issued this morning, John S. Scholey,
state prohibition enforcement officer
and Kenosha crusader, started out this
afternoon with the work of cleaning
up Illicit liquor places in Kenosha.
Scholey went out unaided by any of
the forces of the city or county and
his only attendant was representa-
tive of the Kenosha Evening News,

with the crusader.
The. first place visited was the Cop

and operated by Mrs. Ottilie Hide
brand. Prohibition Enforcement Off

warrant u seek liquor alleged to have
disappeared from the vaults of the

Mrs. Hildebrand adm Cited to the
crusader that Eli Jacobson had come
to her and made an agreement whereby
he was to be allowed to store liquor
in the place by paying the entire rent
of the place. He had stored six or
seven cases of liquor in the basement
of the place but on Christmas Eve she
had called him and informed him that
he would have to remove the liquor.
She declared that she knew nothing
more regarding the transaction. The
place was searched, but no liquor was
found. Mrs. Hildebrand showed a
willingness to allow the officer to go
just as far as he wanted to and search
her .homeY if he desired.
Scholey then went to the billiard
parlor adjoining, but no liquor was
found in the place.
After leaving the billiard parlor, the
crusader started away for other raids,
but he did not make public where he
was going.

A new bomb-shell was thrown into
the building situation in Kenosha this
morning when the union plumbers of
the city failed to report to work in
protest against the cut in wages put
into effect by the master plumbers of
Kenosha this morning. On Saturday
noon, the union plumbers were mott
fed that beginning this morning the
scale of wages would be $500 a day
instead of $1,000 as heretofore or a
cut from SIPS to $100 an hour
The new wage scale is in keeping
with the program adopted by the Mas
ter Builders of Kenosha in establish
ing a $100 an hour schedule. This
morning the union plumbers met in
executive session at their hall in the
former Knights of Columbus building
to act definitely on the proposal of
the Master Plumbers.
Must Meet New Conditions.
Master plumbers of the city declared
that the cut was absolutely necessary
in order to establize the business and
to get building costs back to some
thing near normal situation.
The union plumbers were just as in
sistent that they would not return to
work at the new scale. They de-
clared that the problem of idle time
with which they were forced to con-
tend made it necessary for them to
secure the $1,000 day scale for the
days when they were employed.
Little Work Is Stopped.
Both union and master plumbers
declared that the strike had caused
little trouble this morning. 1t is
slack season for the plumbing business
and there was very little work being
carried on to be stopped by the failure
Of the men to report for work. 1t is
declared that both sides are anxious to
have the scale set before the busy
season opens and that they welcome
this opportunity to thresh out their
difficulties.
