cities of less than ten thousand in-

the learning of a trade, there will be
greatly less of this foolish distinc
tion.
What has been said of the boy,
may be applied to the girl in the
matter of fitting herself for a trade of
occupation. Foolish girls just out of
school are prone to regard it as more
"classy" to enter a store or an office,
than to work at a trade or engage in
domestic service. . And yet many of
the trades, such as dress-making
millinery and the like, and all man
ner of house work will prove of in
valuable assistance to her if she
marries, even though she marrie3
'well", from a worldly standnoint.
There is better money in any cf
these occupations, than there is relatively in stenography or bookkeeping
or clerking in stores, if girls only
knew it. A trained servant in the household of the rich makes double the money that the average stenographer or salesgirls makes, when her
living and clothing necessities are
taken into consideration. Girls are
just beginning to wake up to this
fact and western high school girls
are coming in large numbers to Chi
cago and New York and other large
centers where high wages help to
solve the servant problem and are
taking positions in domestic service
Expert waitresses and trained house
maids, ladies maids etc., very fre

await them, open to thousands ot
girls, wno would nnd that education

rating of their salary.

DEFEAT IN VICTORY.
The citizens committee, thrice
victorious in the courts, twice in the highest .in the state, against the
letting of the original contract for Hammond's $300,0(f0 industrial high school is brought .face to face
with another question since the
favorable supreme court decision o
last week.
The question is: would it he ad
visable to delay this project for an
other two years, even though victory
were assured if the case should be carried into the United States
supreme court by the defeated con
tractors?
?n raising this question there ia no
disposition to detract from the com
mendation that is due the citizens
committee for its valiant fight, and the decisions of the state courts, at
least, show that this committee rep

DISPOSING OF A BUGABOO.
From time to time in the last
quarter of a century efforts have been made to alarm the American people
by much talk of the Germanizing of
southern Brazil. It has been said
that the existence of the Monroe Doc
trine would yet be jeopardized by great German colonies in the cooler
sections of the largest country In
South America.
Highly colored pictures have been
painted of a wide region in southern Brazil filled with Germans who had
served in the army of their country and could be counted upon, when the
proper time came, to seize Brazil, or
a large part of that country, and convert it into a dependency of the Ger
man empire.
It ought to reassure nervous Ameri
cans who have taken 6uch fairy tales
seriously to know that the immigra
tion in Brazil la ten times as much Portuguese as German, and that six
times as many Spaniards as Germans
enter the country every year. The
Italian immigrants are five times as numerous as the arrivals from Germany, and the Russians and Polos
outnumber the Germans three to one.
Even the Turks and Arabs are going
to Brazil in larger numbers than the
subjects of the Kaiser.
In fact the German immigration is
so small, and the German population
constitutes so insignificant a part of
the Brazilian total in numbers, I
though not In intelligence and busi
ness capacity, that talk of a pro-German revolution in any state of Brazil
is absurd. The German bugaboo in
South America might as well be
i
banished forever from the thoughts
of the American people.

Mlsa "Jack" Stearns, 19, popular society girl of Culpeper, Va., enjoys the distinction of being tha first and only bird-woman to have made the dangerous flight over the Adirondack mountains. This feat he accomplished last fall ia company with George A. Gray, a dashing young aviator from Boston. A tew days ago her Virginia friends presented her with a handsome loving cup, to show how much, they appreciated her bringing honor to the Old Dominion. In tha meantime. Gray makes rather frequent visits at the Stearns horns at Culpeper. to the discomfiture of the young lady'a Virginia
beaux. Gray says he likes to fly with Miss Stearns because she remains calm under trying circumstances. It is whispered Rt Culpeper that there may be other reasons. Miss Stearns is indeed very charming.

A STRONG COMBINATION.
Hammond is certainly adopting a
progressive policy in matters educa
tional. Its latest venture, that of combining a high school course with
a practical trade apprenticeship, is of unquestioned merit. When our
mechanics and workers at all manner of trades are the equals from a
standpoint of book-learning and general education of the man who follows sedentary and kindred occupa
tions, the former will assume a die-

There is no question that the earn-
dent of the steel trust, told the government a few things.
The Tribune charges that Corey
has disappointed .his friends in Gary
by his testimony and that the enemies of the corporation are cor
respondingly jubliant.
Now who is big enough in the
steel game in Gary to have been such
a close friend of Willum that they
are now disappointed in him? Must

guarantee however, that the enjoined contractors' would be underbid were the contract to be let again.
That being the case and Hammond reeding its industrial high school sorely, so much so that a temporary
school building would have to be
built in case the main building is de
layed, it is a vital question for the
city whether it should hazard a de lay in the federal court.
There are times when victory Is more disastrous than defeat and if this be a case in point, and principle
and expend iency can be joined then the question of reaching a compromise can be properly raised.

A violin, or fiddle, as tt is called In the country, can ba found in most of the homes of the farmers living ia the Wabash valley. And these farmers find tha fiddle a sourca of much enjoyment during seasons of the year when the Wabash rises out of its banks and goes a-visiting among farm-houses three or four miles away. It is then that the fiddle Is cherished and played almost incessantly. ABANDON HISTORIC SITE. Municipal effort In Ft.
