Hey, There, Slow Up! makes me nervous to see those trafile A. policemen waving their hands so unnecesan Indianapolis woman remarked thè day. At thè moment a procession of dnotor cars was rushing by tlie semaphore at twenty miles an hour, with not more than five feet between any two cars. And stili thè hands waved emphatically for more speed. It seems tliat \ve Americans are all bent on making each other nervous, and it is a question how long our hearts vili stand it. Up in Chicago they are taking screeehy sirens off of motor trucks because thè trucks sneak up behind folks with weak hearts and frighten them. Growing up amidst thè pep and jazz of a big city, is it wondered at that a 9-year-old Chicago lad, liidlng under a bed to escape truant offìcers, died of heart failure when some one rapped at thè door? Several families bave deserted their farms near St. Joseph, Mieh., because dogs made traeks in thè mud and some one got out a report that they were lion traeks. If we Americans keep on at thè pace we’re going, thè first thing we know we will all have nerves that jump on thè slightest provocation and hearts that snap long before they should be j worn out under normal eonditions.

Hence, thè only restful prospeets for thè President this wlnter are .he definite abandonment of thè White House social season, and several aftemoons on thè golf links every week.

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.—Two women —one in Minnesota and one in Wisconsin—are setting politicai mileposts these days, though thè country at large may not be aware of it, or particularly intereated in it. Mrs. Anna Dickie Olesen, in thè former State, and Mrs. Jessie Jack Hooper, in thè latter, are staging one of those “first-time-in-history” affairs, as candidates of a major party for thè United States Senate. Never before in this country has one woman, much lesa two, been nominated for a seat in thè upper branch of Congress. Interest at Low Ebb And, while interest generally is at low ebb in thè campalgns this year, as testifled to by thè low registratibn figures, there is going on in Wisconsin and Minnesota a politicai tight which, when ultimately extended to other States, may revolutionize and elevate campaigns in generai. Out in Missouri, Senator Jim Reed and R. R.

MOIfADSÌSIN CLBMAAIY PIA! DRAMOLT Police Active in Running Dbwn Clews—Damning Letter Seized. By United News BERLIN, Oct. 23. —Rumors that thè German monarchista are planning a revolt against thè republic have been current for several days and thè police have been very active in running down leads. It is declared thè uprising was to have been of a generai charactei. The police are undertaking thè most drastic preventative measures. They accidentally seized a letter on Friday proving, they elaim, thè existence of a second known plot against thè lise of Cbancellor Wirth. The first plot was announced in thè Reichstag. Charge Freedom Party ' Herr Severi ng, Prussian minister of thè interior, speaking in thè diet, charged that thè so-callled nationalistic offìcers were planning thè formation of a "Freedom party,’ aiming at a "freedom battle against France.” They threatened also, thè minister charged, that should thè government oppose thè aims of thè movement, thè founders were prepared to proceed against thè government with force of arma. Herr Severing served warning on thè reactionaries to avold thè launching bf such a movement. A plot formed by three young reactionaries to assassinate Chanceilor Wirth v.as discovered previously Friday. The trio had taken an oath to sacrifice their own lives if necessary in thè attempi to slay thè Chanceilor. Scenes of Disorder President Loeb announced thè discovery of thè plot during a tense scene of disorder in thè Reichstag, where Wirth was sharply attacking thè C’onservatives. The announeement, Corning during thè Chancellor’s speech, created generai astonishment. A heavy guard was placed around thè Reichstag and special protection has been given to Wirth. Relatives :of one of thè ccnspiratcrs gave thè secret to thè police and one arrest has been made. IF YOU ARE WELL BRED You know that a man s position I when walking with two women is thè \ outside —that ls, thè curi) side of thè I sidewalk —not between thè women. A man, of course, never takes a woman's arm. This savore of undue familiarity’. If he feels she needs protection or guidanco he may offer his arm, but not attempt to thrust his arm through hers or grasp her by’ thè elbow to 1 guide her across thè Street.
