This Is My 43rd Birthday

FRANK WATSON DYSON Prank Watson Dyson, the new Astronomer Royal; was born at Ashby, Jan. 8, 186$, and waa educated at Cambridge. In 1894 he was appointed chief assistant to the Astronomer Royal at tha Royal Observatory, Greenwich. This position he held for over ten years and It was due largely to his efforts that Greenwich accomplished the successful execution of the great International Photographic Survey of the Heavens. On three occaslona Mr. Dyson led expeditions sent ut from the famous observatory to djbserve total eclipses of the sun, go his to Ovar In Portugal ln 1900, and to Sfax In Tunis In 1905, while In 1901 he went to Aoer Gadang. a small Island off the coast of Sumatra. In 1905 he was appointed Asetronomer Royal for Scotland, which position he held until last October, when he was appointed to the position of Astronomer Royal, ln succession to Sir William Christie.

Those Tracks

Every one in town with the exception of those Individuals who had a selfish motive in having the car tracks of the freight spur put through Glen Miller will back up the city administration ln the effort to do away with the car tracks. It ought to be done. Originally. Richmond had to be ahown that the placing of the car barns ln Glen Miller was a mistake,. It had to be ahown that such structures as the late High Point hotel with its garish architecture and gaudy paint had no business there. Now that everyone has had the demonstration of tracks through the Glen and everyone with the slightest sense or sensibilities agrees that they ought never to have been there it is time to take them out. The interurban company may as well make up Its mind that this is as good a time as any to take their tracks up. If it can be done in a friendly way all of us would rather see it done that way, but it can be done eventually by the longer and harsher method.

Richmond's Orchestra

Kansas City, the most progressive large city from almost every point of view in the west is congratulating itself upon its Sunday orchestra. The Kansas City Star, booster of all good things, has been helping the thing get on its feet. So the folowing clipping from the news columns of that paper Is apt to be accurate: Many persons seem to be under the Impression that some of the seats can be reserved," Mr. Cowan said. "I have received a large number of telephone calls and letters asking for reserved seats. I believe more than half of the hall could be sold In that way. But that is not the purpose of the concerts. The purpose is to furnish free music to the people of Kansas City. And anyone who wants to come will be welcomed." Yesterday the personnel of the orchestra was announced. It includes fifty-eight pieces and is under the direction of Francois Boucher, head of the violin and Instrumental department of the Conservatory of Music. Of the fifty-eight pieces there will be twenty-eight violins, seven cellos, a number of cornets, clarinets, trombones, flutes, bass and French horns, and besides those there will be an oboe, a bassoon and a tympany. The orchestra has been practicing since the first of October and when the last rehearsal Is held Sunday morning Its members will be keyed up to just the right pitch to play the finest music of their lives. Of the members some twenty belong to the Musicians' Union, and the remainder are pupils and graduates of the Conservatory. "The standard of the music the orchestra will play is high and it will do full justice to the compositions," said Mr. Boucher yesterday afternoon. "We are going to play a program that will be both pleasing and Interesting to everybody." To handle the large crowd that is expected to attend the concert the Metropolitan Street Railway company will increase the number of cars on the Twelfth Street line. The increased number of cars will begin to run at 2 o'clock, an hour before the concert opens, and will continue until about 5:30 o'clock. The concert will run about an hour and three quarters. ' That tells the story as far as Kansas City is concerned. But right here in Richmond the Symphony orchestra is probably doing better work than the orehestra In Kansas City. In the first place the thing has been going on longer and there is a larger repertoire. There Is probably a stronger spirit among the individual men than there la in Kansas City. But whether this is so or not, It is about time for Richmond to wake up to the fact that we have right here in Richmond a remarkable institution the like of which does not exist outside of Germany ln all probability. There is nothing flimsy and spectacular about it and for that reason It has been slow to catch the popular fancy and win instable applause. That should not discourage the men who are in the Symphony orchestra Their's Is a thing which is real and unforced. It is not a missionary movement but a solid and natural growth therefore valuable. Speaking as a part of the audience the time seems to be coming when Richmond will suddenly wake up to the fact that there is something remarkable here and will demand to hear it oftener and oftener. We hope so in order that those who appreciate the genuine worth of the movement . toward things which are real should have the chance to show it. . It is a much finer thing to have a permanent Symphony orchestra than to go wild over music in the buck season for three days of frenzied music day and night and let it slip into vacuity the rest of the year.

WOMEN PREDOMINATE

Their Increase Troubles Ger

man Scientists.

Berlin, Jan. 7. According to offi

cial figures of the census return the population of Greater Berlin now numbers 3,712,552 inhabitants.

The predominate feature of the re

sults of the census is the revelation of

the growing preponderance of females

over' males in Germany. The complete results of the census have not

yet been ascertained but so far as the

returns go they show an alarming increase of the disproportion between males and females.

The growing majority of females is

exercising the minds of not only the government, but also of all politicians and social reformers in a growing de

gree.

There is a deep-rooted idea in Ger

many, which, as is well known, is

shared by the Kaiser, and the ruling

element, that woman's sphere is the home, and that it is the destiny of the female to seek a mate and find

her happiness in the upbringing of

her children.

The increasing preponderance of

the female part of the imputation is forcing German further and further

away from this Ideal, and is making the position more and more difficult for those who still oppose the entrance of women into all sorts of occupations and professions.

LOSES BEERPRESTIGE Statistics Show Germans Are More Temperate. Berlin, Jan. 67 The consumption of beer in Germany, according to official statistics published recently is rapidly decreasing. During 1909 the consumption diminished approximately by 65,000,000 gallons, or one gallon per head of the population. During the preceding year there had been a diminution of nearly 70,000,000 gallons, whilst during the last decade there has been a decrease of three gallons per head of the population per annum. The decline in the brewing trade is also revealed by the diminishing number of breweries In Germany. In 1906 there were 6035; In 1907, 5792; In 190S, 5590; and last year, 476S. During 1909 alone there was thus a decrease of 822 breweries. The decrease In the consumption of malt lias been considerable greater than is indicated by the diminution in the consumption of beer, thus showing that the beer drunk in Germany becomes lighter and lighter every year.

IIS TO WORKERS Plan of Operations of the English Labor Exchanges. SEND MEN WHERE NEEDED.

Main IJea Is te Bring Together the Labor Supply and tha Demand. Fares Paid te Distant Points Rules For Applicants. Nothing baa occurred in the British industrial world in recent years which has attracted more attention than the Inauguration of the government labor exchanges through an act vof parliament passed last year, which has been very generally approved. The royal commission on the poor laws recommended unanimously the establishment of these exchanges. They are not designed to furnish temporary aid to the unemployed, but to direct labor where it is needed. The central idea is that the information of "wants" and "wanted" shall be periodically sent from branches to central offices and thence transmitted to other localities. When necessary advances will be made to i&y fares of unemployed persons to points where their labor is needed, such advances to be refunded from wages. On the opening day, Feb. 1, nearly eighty exchanges were in operation, and thousands of applications for work were received. These represented all classes of labor and did not seem to come to any considerable extent from the shiftless and incompetent. Employers also made use of the exchanges. The registration of applicants for employment is to hold good for seven days from the date of registration. The officer in charge is to undertake no responsibility' with regard to wages or other conditions beyond supplying any information in bis possession as to the rate of wages desired or offered. Copies or summaries of any agreements mutually arranged between associations of employers and workmen for the regulation of wages or other conditions of labor ln any trade may, with the consent of the various parties to such agreements, be filed at a labor exchange, and any published rules made by public authorities with regard to like matters may also be filed. Documents so filed are to be open to inspection on application. No person is to suffer any disqualification or be otherwise prejudiced on account of refusing to accept employment found for him through a labor exchange where the ground of refusal is that a trade dispute which affects his trade exists or that the wages offered are lower than those current ln the trade in the district where employment is found. When an applicant for employment has been engaged through a labor exchange at which be is registered to take up employment at any place removed from the exchange or from his ordinary residence by more than five miles by the quickest route or by such other distance as the board of trade may direct from time to time, either generally or as regards any specified district, the officer in charge may at his discretion make an udvance to the applicant toward meeting the expenses of traveling to the place of employment. The advance may be made at the request either of the employer or of the applicant. The person at whose request the advance is made must give such undertaking with respect to the repayment of the advance as the board of trade with the consent of the treasury may from time to time prescribe, either generally or as regards any specified district or class of applicants. In making advances care la to be taken to avoid unduly encouraging rural laborers to migrate from the country to the towns or between Great Britain and Ireland. The advance is not to exceed the amount required to defray the applicant's fare to the place of employment and is to be made by the provision of a ticket or pass or in exceptional cases in cash. The question of strikes and lockouts Was given very careful consideration by the framers of the general regulntlons, and the following rules have been adopted governing this matter: Any association of employers or workmen may file at a labor exchange a statement with regard to the existence of a strike or lockout affecting their trade in the district. Any such statement shall be signed by a person authorized by the association for the purpose. Suoh statement shall only be ln force for seven days from the date of filing, but may be renewed within that period for a like period, and so on from time to time. If any employer who appears to be affected by a statement so filed notifies to a labor exchnnge a vacancy or vacancies for workmen of the class affected, the officer in charge shall inform him of the statement that has been filed and give him an opportunity of making a written statement thereon. The officer In charge, in notifying any such vacancies to any applicant for employment, shall also Inform him of the statements that have been filed. All of the expense is borne by the government, a special appropriation being set aside for the purpose.

PROPOSAL IS NOT WELL FAVORED HERE An organization known as the Indiana State association of councilmen has been perfected, for the purposes of securing legislation to raise the salaries of city aldermen and to Increase their power as under the old law. which gave each councilman authority equal to ' that held by the board of works members.. Under the present law the power of the mayor is decreased. Councilman Bartel, who is interested in the matter, advises that the state legislature go slow on the matter. He does not indorse, on first sight the proposition. Several .councilmen have expressed against the propostitlon. ;

brother of Frank Chambers of Pogue, Miller & Co., who is a prominent T. p. a. of Post c.

The time for payment of dues has expired.

Every T. P. A. should ask himself the question, "Have I paid my semiannual dues?" If his conscience will permit him to answer, "Yes." then all is well and good for him. If the answer comes back "No. I have not paid my dues," then he is in a sorry plight, as he could receive no benefits if he were to suffer any accident at this time. Every member is given thirty days in which to settle with the national organization. If at the end of that time he has failed to pay the five fifty his name is dropped and he is no longer a member of the association. Delinquents in the T. P. A. become less and less each year as the members become better acquainted with the aims of the organization and realize the great value of the insurance which they have.

Marion Past of the T. P. A. are already, receiving nominations for candidates to be voted on for delegates to

the national convention at Philadel- ; phia in June. Two men have an

nounced themselves, one being G. M. Kleder. press chairman of the post, the other being Andy" Jackson, at one time state president of Indiana division. Several others will come forward a little later. As yet there has been heard no rumblings along the local highways which would indi-

j cate who is anxious to represent Post !c at Philadelphia. A few 'members j are known, to have '"buztings," but j are too modest to put the idea in a ; tangible form. It is thought when 'one name is announced an avalanche

of candidates will appear.

David Whelan is confined to his home suffering from a badly sprained ankle. The fact that a little T. P. A. policy is in force adds a little relief to the situation.

"Shorty" Shreeve. sitting quietly In a corner of the club, asked the Ques

tion, who the present chairman of jthe membership committee might be. He criticised very severely the lack iof enthusiasm on the part of that of

ficial and said he could not understand why some work was not being done. On investigation It was found that "Shorty" himself was the only

simon pure chairman of the membership committee and all that was needed to gather in a few members was the lack of the proper leader, to push forth.

. J. B. Hegger, who was confined to his home last Saturday and Sunday is again able to be out. Mrs. Hegger who has been quite sick is reported greatly Improved.

DOG RESCUES BOY SKATER FROM POND Carlyle, 111., Jan. 7. Dr. A. M. Keith of Greenville, owns a Scotch collie dog that is entitled to a Carnegie hero medal. Francis Cox, eight yoars old, was skating on a pond near the home of his parents when the ice broke and he foil into the water. His calls for help were answered by the collie. The dog ran to the bank of the pond. Beemed to realize the peril of the boy, and plunged into the water. Taking hold or the back of young Cox's coat he towed him to a place where he could reach the bank. The owner of the dog refused to sell it to the father of the boy at a fancy price.

At this season of the year there are

as a rule many changes in situations

among traveling men. But this year is the exception to the rule and fewer

changes have been noted than in

many years past. The only change that has been reported to date is that

Mr. and Mrs. Harry Dickhut have moved to Richmond from Springfield, Ills., and will make this city their future home. Mr. Dickhut is associated with Kingan & Co., meat packers of Indianapolis, and has taken up the territory made vacant by the accidental death of Mr. King. Mr. Dickhut is a T. P. A. of long standing, being at the present time a member of Post D, Springfield, Ills. He intends to trans.
