SAN FRANCISCO, March 10
"Make the street car more attrac.
tive - is the new business slogan of
Samuel Kahn, vice president of the
Market Street Railway Company
here.
It's comfort the patrons want and
haven't had, Kahn believes, so he
is preparing to launch a $1,60O,000
scheme to lure business folk to use
trolley cars instead of automobiles
in going back and forth to work.
Kahn is going to put attractive
green leather cushioned seats on his
street cars, the same as is found in
latest sports model automobiles
Furthermore, he s going to eliminate
the ungainly lengthwise seats en-
tirely, and in their place install side
seats of the "tea for two type.
"Those side seats ought to bring
wholesale relief to passenger s
corns, and, too, it will stop embar-
rassment to women passengers from
moon-eyed males across the aisle, -
Kahn says.
The cushioned seats cost money,
and the elimination of lengthwise
seats will decrease the capacity Of
cars about Is PER cent. That will

News Notes From The
County Agents. Office

There Will be q live poultry car
at Powell December 18th to take
care of the marketing Of the sur
plus poultry in Park County. This
is a good time Of the year to get
rid of the old hens and save the
feed for the laying pullets.
Bert Steck. a prominent dairy
man and farmer of Powell ordered
ten Holstein calves from Oregon.
Mr.. Steck has d large herd Of good
dairy cows now and he plans to
keep improving it.
A movement is on loot now to
establish a system of turkey brands
for this county. A few farmers
around Cody and Powell have had
a few turkeys stolen every fall.
Other sections OF the Basin have
suffered a great deal more than we
have.
The tattoo system Of brands has
Bvsn perfected and is used extern
sively In other turkey growing Sec
tions. The brands are selected and
recorded SO that no two brands are
alike in a given section. This is
a permanent marking system and
cannot be removed from the bird.
1t should not be necessary to keep
talking about Il possible shortage
Of dairy products in an established
farming community. However. Park
County is right on the brink of
such a calamity. 1t is due a lot
to increased population, on the
other hand. the high prices that
have been paid for beef cattle, has
been responsible for the shipping
of a goodly number of cows.
The farmer who has been milk
ing at a loss cannot be blamed
for selling his cows when the mark
ct is good. He could, however.
replace the stock with good milk
stock and get along with fewer
cows to milk and feed and realize
more profit over a period of years.
1t is hard to pick up a good
milk cow-they are not for sale.
but a car load could be purchased
comparatively and shipped in.

WORTH WEIR
CENT OF 1T

The annual cost of keeping the
American woman the most beauti-
full in the world exceeds the war
debts of half dozen European ceun-
tries to the United States. When
it m to the amount paid to
the United States. When / comes
o the amour paid out to main
tain the pulchritise that is the
pride of American women n their
male admirers, the female of the
species is far more costly than the
male.
Federal experts have compiled
statistics showing hat beauty par
.lors. which have sprung up in re-
cent years in every city and town,
take in not less than $4,000 900
every business day. and that the
total cost of identifying girls be-
tween the ages of 5 and so ex-
ceeds $1.825, 100000 a year.
There are some who will be pro-
voked to wrathful protestation at
the thought of two billions being
spent for the Identification of
mothers. wives. sisters and sweet
hearts. but most men will admit,
at least to themselves. that the
results Justify the cost.
Apparently vanity is no longer
sinful. 1t is generally conceded
that M OF woman's duties to
society is to beantify herself, and
1t must be admitted that smooth
ing and displaying her fine feathers
is as natural with her as with the
peacock. The double standard of
morals which some a still exists
acts to the advantage OF the fair
sex in at least one respect. Pride
and vanity. admired in women, are
considered unbecoming in the male
of the species.
The nations expenditure on per-
sonal appearance nay seem excess
sive, but one forgets the cost when
there come to mind the shiny noses,
undressed tresses and cotton stock
ings of yesteryear.-From Cheyenne
Tribune. December 20. 1927.
Have you noticed that the mod

USE THE CHRISTMAS SEALS
They Mean Health and Happiness
Everywhere

During the Merry Christmas Sale
of Tuberculosis Stamps the story
Of how these bright little stickers
came into existence is brought to
mind.
F In 1904. a public spirited Danish
postmaster, the Hon. NJ. Holboell.
originated the idea Of using a stamp
as a Tuberculosis Seal and secured
Royal patronage for launching a
Christmas Stamp Sale to establish
a sanatorium for tuberculous chill
dren. The campaign was a great
success and the idea soon spread to
other countries.
In 1907. Jacob Riis, the we'll
known writer and social worker In
New York City, received a letter
bearing one Of the Danish Tuber-
culosis Christmas Stamps. He was
at once interested in the little
emblem and secured from his friend
Einar Holboel, something Of its his
tory which he described in an in
.teresting article in the Outlook"
Miss Emily Bissel, of Whining
ton, Delaware, read Jacob Riis ar
ticle and borrowed the idea of u.s.
ing a Christmas Stamp for a tuber-
culosis sanatorium she was then
endeavoring to establish on the out
skirts of Wilmington. With the
support Of the North American"
magazine and local newspapers Miss
Bissel launched the first Tubercu-
losis Christmas Stamp Sale in the
United States.
The National tuberculosis Asso-
citation, organized in 1904. was rap
Idly developing and in 1910 be-
came the general agent of the Xmas

for the organization and conduct
of the annual sales through its
