P.ost Office Inspector, (ieol'ge Daniel, of th New York division, appointed Inspector in charge at St. Jonlfl. Theodore Ingalls, who becomes (!enrral Superintendent of the Railway Moll Service, it regarded by PostmastcrtSeneral illtchcok as one of the best 1 rained postal officers in the departmeat. He Is thoroughly familiar with the railway mail xerxlce, having begun his postal work in that branch of the Hervlco. and passed through it wevcral grades, after which he served as Superintendent of Mails in the loulsvlllc. lKv.1 post office. In a statement Issued last ni&ht the I'osl master-General say s : "These changes are the result of an investigation Mr. Hitchcock has been making during the latt few months into tho affairs of the railway mail service. Poor Management Found. "The Investigation showed that the service hn greatly suffered from poor management and lack of supervision. In certain of the divisions it was found that the Chief Clerks had not been Inspecting their lines, as was their duty. Some of these lines had received no Inspection for several years. "It was found also that in many instances these officers were giving little attention to the sanitary condition of the cars, thus disregarding the health and comfort of the employes tinder them. "The Investigation showed that. In many cases the business methods were antiquated ami much duplication of work resulted. Instructions from the department calling for improve'uenta. as, for example, the proper consolidation of mail matter and the conservation of equipment had been receiving Indifferent attention. "There had been a lack of cooperation also in carrying out certain refoitns urged by tlie Postniaster-tSener-a!, such as separating from the first class mail the bulky mail of other classes and forwarding the latter in storage cars ami bv fast freight. "It Is Mr. Hitchcock's desire to introduce this reform as vapidly as possible, and he feels that the changes he is making in the executive management of the service will assist in accomplishing the purpose." ELECTED PRESIDENT Sharon Jones Heads Hardware Organization. Sharon E. Jones, treasurer and general manager of the Jones Hardware company of this city and one of the' mot. prominent hardware men In the tale Hiid country, was elected president of the National Retail Hardware association, which closed its annual! meeting nt Utile Rock.

His election to such a high office comes in recognition of his position in that Held.

After sifting the Hour, salt, sugar and bakiug powder together rub the butter through the mixture and stir in the milk. Stir the batter as little as possible, only just enough to mix it.

REAL ESTATE MEN HAVE AJOMPLAIIIT Say That the Demand for , Rental Houses Cannot ' Be Half Supplied.

Like a checker game when every i move is blocked, is the condition of I the real estate business in Richmond this spring. There are not more than twenty-rive vacant houses in the city, j estimates one real estate man. He i says he has fully twenty -five applications for houses every day, but is unible to supply the demand. , Cheap houses are those sougtit most t - houses between $10 and $15 in rent, j Factories moving into the city, and local industries enlarging their plants, 'causing a necessity for employing j more men, are responsible for the c- '; ist ing conditions. It is not an unusual condition how- ' ever, for houses have been scarce, although rot so noticeably as at present for the last three years, j There is more property for sale in ! Richmond lhaii for rent, it is claimed by real estate men. Richmond property sells slow for the reason that Richmond is not. a boom town. I Real estate prices, both for rental and sale, has increased lo per cent approximately, in the last ten years, although twenty-five years ago it was .higher than now. No reason can be stated for tte drop in prices. On ttie , other hand farm property has inI creased loo per cent in value in ten I years. LAST JACKSON TWP. SALOON DIES SOON Three more davs and Jackson townhip will be as dry as a picked bone. The license under which Frank Sowers of East Germantown has been operating a saloon for the past year expires at midnight on April 3. Since February 7. Sowers has had a monopoly on the "wet" business in the township, the licenses held by Cambridge City saloonists nil having exnireel on or before this date. The two months monopoly, during which time Sowers' place drew the "wet" trade of the counties of Henry, Rush. Fayette and other neighboring "dry" territories, proved cjuite profitable. Jackson township, which is the second largest, in !tho county, will be without the legalized saloon at least until June, 1913, i the township having been declared I dry by a blanket remonstrance last : June.

TO HIDE IDENTITY

Rushville "Wets" to Wear Sunbonnets in Saloons. Rushville. Ind., April 1. Rushville saloon keepers will not submit to the Columbus trust by laying in a supply of the Climax adujustable automatic individual noiseless saloon blinds, intended for use in cities of the screenless saloon class, to which Rushville belongs. The city council has passed an ordinance which provides that there shall be no blinds or screens in the soloon to obstruct the viow through the entire room. Rushville has an invention of its own, which it is believed will be more popular than the Columbus device, because it is simpler and cheaper. It is the sunbonnet. It can be bought at small cost, and many men will be able to dig out his wife's last summer bonnet and use it with good grace. And he can also carry it in his own pocket. By using his own bonnet all the time he will be able to keep it in good sanitary condition. The sunbonnet is accepted by the local "wets'' as by far the best plan to outwit the councilman who passed the ordinance. The blinds do not appeal to the Rushville saloon keepers and they will not buy the Columbus product. They fear that the blinds would ruin the hats of their customers and that there might be difficulty in drawing them down when the man at the bar had isited more than one saloon during bis rounds. The sunbonnet appeals to the drinkers of Rushville on account of its ability to screen, because that is what they desire in a screenless town. The average bonnet extends far over the face aud the person who wears it while standing at the bar may easilyescape the impertinent gaze of curious people. The style of the sunbonnet. will have much to do with itspopularity as a screen. The most accepted style will be one with a long and spacious top which will amply cover the face. The capo or second part of the sunbonnet may be cut on the bias or with a flounce, although it is expected the latter will be more popular, as it will have an artistic fullness which will not be inappropriate in a saloon. Of course, it will be necessary for the saloon keepers to buy a liberal supply of sunbonnets, since all men who go before the bar do not. have wives. On objection to the sunbonnet. is that wives may recognize their own property in the saloons and that domestic infelicity may result. The militant British suffragists have decided to boycott the enumerators when the census is taken. This announcement was made by Mr3. Despard, in an address before the Woman's Freedom league in London.

WOMAN ROBBED BY

MAN OF TROUSERS Man Cast Aside Skirt Centuries Ago, Imposing them on Weaker Sex. j New York, April 1. "Man has been trying to dictate woman's dress from the beginning of time. The Bible from cover to cover is filled with regulations concerning women's anklets, bracelets, vails everything else that jman could think of. j "St. Paul said women must remain j covered in church, yet modern evanjgelists are trying to force us to take our hats off. Suppose woman should j try to regulate man's costumes, what la hue and cry there would be! Mrs. Ida Husted Harper, famous ; suffragist and author of "The Life of i Susan B. Anthony." had just returned j from the home of Mrs. Harry Lehr, j w here she had given a lecture which I inc luded among many topics tho subJject of dress reform for men and wo men. "Suppose any woman should speak her mind on the utter hideousness of men's clothes!" Mrs. Harper exclaimed. "Suppose you do!" was suggested. "Well," said Mrs. Harper, taking a long breath, "from the crown of his head to the soles of his feet I think man's attire is ugly sinfully ugly. "The most atrocious object in art or nature is surely the high silk hat with which he adorns himself when ho wants to be most impressive. Women at least adorn the ugliness of the lines of their high hats with flowers, laces or ribbons. "I understand from articles of men's fashions that 'no padding will be worn in the shoulders of the coats this year.' As the result a sentimental girl will miss a nice soft pillow but the average woman today is far too busy to care whether men carry young sofa pillows on their shoulders or not. But what a vain and silly custom this padding of coatas is, anyway! "The stiff bosomed shirt has nothing to recommend it except discomfort and lack of beauty. Women First Wore Trousers "As for trousers! Well, every student of history knows that man stole them from womna. Women first wore trousers and men skirts and long hair.

One has only to look at the pictures in the Bible times to realire that. "But when men realized that skirts were hampering to activity and that' long hair was troublesome and hard to be kept tidy, they imposed their discarded costumes and customs, with, every other restriction they could think of upon woman. Perhaps wcV man is to be congratulated. Certainly she should think a long time before taking the trousers back. "But really." Mrs. Harper exclaimed, with a sudden gesture of discouragement, "why should we preach dress reform to the men when there is so much in our own attiro that

; needs reforming. "From Fifth avenue to the slums there has been a change, a decadence, in woman's dress. Five years ago a demi-mon'daine would not have dared to appear on Fifth avenue in gowns such as fashionable women wear evervherp Iiirt;v And thr eirls in shmta 'and factories imitate tho immodesty of fashionable attire."
