Reekleas °'itomobile driving is to be eliirinated. f And now will not the Pullman company reduce the porter’s tips? Don't mind the pessimistic weather prophet's prediction of a long winter. rJ- ■ M s • Flat-wheeled trolley cars and all auto horns are to be regulated in New York. The center of population, unlike most of the sons of Indiana, remains in that state. The United States army wants aeroplanes. They will probably be manned by the flying divisions. Winter may be trying to keep it up until March. It began early and It 'has been cold throughout Siam is to have an aviation week, and so the march of up-to-date civilisation goes—or rather flies —merrily «L The new census of Berlin and its suburbs shows a population of 5..400,000. It is camping on New York’s trail. Overstudy killed a promising youth in Baltimore, but there is no danger of this malady ever becoming an epidemic. A German has invented a noiseless telephone booth. A noiseless telephone party line would be a greater blessing. The agitation to make the upper berth lower continues; but no matter at what figure they fix the price it will etill be high. A St Louis man made his wife cut his hair. Barbering, however, will never be included in any domestic science course. There is a woman wireless operator. The old saw must be amended *to read: "What man has done, a woman can and will do." Fashionable women In the national capital climb the Washington monument to reduce theif flesh. Thus does the uplift reach society. A St. Louis woman, asked why she ishot her husband, said she did it “just for fun." And yet they say women have no sense of humor. A woman of ninety-one in Massachusetts wants to go up in a balloon. Another example of bow people are as young In these times as they want to be. An eastern man says fie will soon put lobsters on the market at three cents each. If he’d only turn his attention to bacon what a gay world this would become. Now we understand why certain things are as they are. During the present year the people of New York have eaten three million pounds of bad eggs In their pastry. Philadelphia society women protest against posing in bare feet on the plea that their underpinning is too unsightly to be exposed, unadorned, to the vulgar gaxe. Thus are the women of Chicago deprived of their birthright. A man in New Jersey wrote a rebuke to the kaiser for riding a horse with a docked tail.

It Is not clear why they should be pe-mitted to do so. as necessarily they would have to traverse territory where more or less prejudice against vagrant tramps has found expression in statutory restraints, and even in rock piles. Frequent seismic manifestations of late had prepared the world for news of some such upheaval as that which •Is-reported ofT the coast of Salvador, accompanied by the sinking of a small island. This has Involved a lamentable loss of life, and illustrates anew the peril of making homes in the earthquake-ridden sections of the earth, for several similar catastrophes have occurred in that quarter. A schoolgirl in Indiana has fallen heir to $30,000,000. This news will probably have an agitating influence iln European tilled impecunious circles r In Colorado they propose a law making It an offense for doctors to cut out patients' appendices unless it is necessary. The enactment of such a. statute would enable us to foresee the time when professional ethics would require every doctor to testify that ail hta brother practitioners* appendixpntnipg was positively required.
