WOMAN HAS HISTORIC PEN
Used by President Harrison When He
Signed the Present American
Copyright Bill.

The recent celebration by the
League of American Pen Women of
their twenty-ffth anniversary, or
'silver jubilee" makes this story
timely:
During the administration of Ben
jamin Harrison, the present American
copyright bill was passed. William
Mckinley, then a member of the house
of representatives, offered the bill, the
data for which was supplied by Mar
garet Sullivan Burke, newspaper cor
respondent, and afterward first presi-
dent Of the League of American Pen
Women. She gave this league its first
home and it's name.
Afterward, when President Harrison
signed this bill, the pen with which
he signed it was presented to Mrs.
Burke by Elijah Halford, his private
secretary, and one of her old Indiana
friends. This pen Is now in the posses
sion of her daughter, Hilda Burke.

SEEM TO PROVE CONNECTION
Stone implements Found in Chile and
In South Dakota Found to
Be Identical.

Scientists are given something to
ponder over by the assertion of Rich
ard Franklin Pettigrew of Sioux
Falls, S. D., former United States sena-
tor, upon his return to the city from
a four-months' trip along the west
coast Of South America, that stone
implements representing the stone age
In Chile are exactly like number Of
stone hatchets, axes and other impIe-
ments recently found in the hills along
the Split Rock and Big Sioux rivers,
ten or fifteen miles east of Sioux
Falls.
Pettigrew states that a doctor who
is studying prehistoric man at San
tiago, Chile, gave the implements to
him. II was intensely interested in
the resemblance" said Pettigrew,
though I do not pretend to account
for it. The United States ambassador
sent them to the United States for me
and / found them On my return to
Washington"

BIG COLLARS ON NEW CAPES
coming to Long, Slender Necks;
Smart Handbags.

Some Of the new capes have a veri-
table bolster for a collar. "A wide,
fat, roll of satin stuffed so that 1t will
remain round and plump Is actually
becoming to long and slender necks.
Other capes have outstanding roses Of
soft silk as collars. These flowers are
so big an SO closely set on the neck
band that they fern ruche. Most
Of the new capes, as well as the new
coats, have the high. standup collar.
1t is smart to have handbag in
some shade contrasting with your
costume. A dark suit, for example,
cries aloud for a scarlet taffeta hand
bag. A tan suit needs bag Of peri
winkle blue. A Jade. frock or COAX is
well set off by bag Of white. Often.
the bag and hat match In shade. Some
times bag, hat and stockings match,
and this Is the ultimate Of smartness.

HYLAN WANTS SURFACE

Says B. X. T. Tieup ProUes
Necessity of Buses.

Mayor Hylan MADE public statement
yesterday in which he declared that the
recent tieup of the transportation sys-
TENS of Brooklyn demonstrates beyond
pe-adventure the absolute necessity for
the operation Of a complete bus system
in all boroughs. Had such system
been in operation on that day. the
Mayor says, there would have been alb
solutely no congestion on the three
Brooklyn bridges. whereas under the cir
cumstances that did prevail II was only
with the utmost difficulty that order
was maintained and serious congestion
prevented.
THE time has come" the Mayor said.
"for the elimlra.ion entirely from the
surface Of the streets In this city of sur
face cars and car tracks, and for the
substitution of buses as the general
mode OF transportation.
he city of New York has been trying
for the last three years to induce Ropub-
lican State Legislatures to enact law
which will enable the city to spend
$25. 900. 900 for new buses and necessary
incidental equipment to be operated on
the streets of the Greater City. Under
existing law a doubt arises as to the
legal right except under extreme cir
cumstances of the city to expend cor
porate funds for the buses.
with the election of a progressive
Governor. one who is not tied to the trac-
tion corporations either as attorney or
otherwise. this Legislation would imme-
diately be adopted and New York city
ould have on the surface OF its streets
