So enthusiastic have the citizens living north of Richmond become over the prospects of obtaining a north and south traction line through their country, that crowds of Interested onlookers follow the engineers as they travel over the road making the final survey for the construction of the new line. Latest reports from the engineering camp show that the field men are making exceptional progress, and will complete their task in plenty of time for the scheduled beginning of construction. The survey has already been finished as far as SpartanIfcurg, and the surveying corps ex pect to reach Union City by Friday afternoon. J. B T. Jeup and A. H. Moore heads Of the firm which is making the surivey. personally supervised the work 'yesterday, and studied the entire
problem to be solved by their men. The two engineers, accompanied by Charles Jordan secretary of the Richmond and Eastern Indiana traction company, journeyed north in automobiles on Tuesday, and examined the ground already covered by the field
Den. In the opinion of the field men, the (work now should "Just sail along." IThe country is level and presents few bard problems, so that with continued wood weather, the field squad will jbave nothing to impede its work. The most difficult problem is the exit from Richmond. They have already surveyed exits via Sheridan and Nineteenth streets, but both of of these have serious objections connected with their ubc. A third soute has now been suggested by sec
retary Jordan which will take the line 1 But Seventeenth street, and thence follow eaBt of the Middleboro pike to Mlddleboro, where it will connect with the other two routes under considers.-.
tlon. As soon as the engineers have reached Portland, they will return to Richmond, and investigate the new exit. , No work will be done south of the llty for some time pending the action Snder advisement by the officials of Che Indianapolis and Cincinnati traction line, which may run a competitive road between Liberty and Hamilton, O.
THE POKER.
Mfcrdly Changed Since the Days of the
Early Metal Workers. As the first fireplace was a circle of tones at the mouth of a cave, so the first poker was a piece of green stick. It was necessary to have something to knock the logs together with when thoy began to burn through the mid,"e. and aa primitive man did not wear boots be could not use them to kick the hot embers Into place, aa some of us do to this day. That was a refinement. If It can be so called, which cunie later. The green stick lasted until the age of Iron and was then superseded by a handy piece of metal which poxsessed the advantage of being stronger and of not burning away. But since the days of the early workers In metal we have made no advance. The poker baa hardly. If at all, chuuged through' the ages. It is. as it
always has been, simple and severe of outline. It lends Itself to no vagaries and to little ornamentation. It is one Cf the few things which no one ha? ver patented, because it may be said to have leaped from the first foundry perfect and complete in every respect. The only notable attempt at improvement has been to make the poker of !brass with a twisted column, but even
theu the Iron poker lurks at the side and Is known as the curate, because it does all the rough work. The ornamental poker Is not a poker at all, but a sham, an upstart masquerading un

I 'LONDOX, Dec. 7. "A hatpin is as
dangerous a weapon in the hands of a woman as a revolver in the hands of a j man." i This strong statement was made by !a. C. Plowden, the well-kown magis
trate, in discussing a hatpin stabbing case which came before him during
the week-end. and in which he said that it would be a very good thing if one had to have a license before being allowed to wear hatpins. "It is true that I stated that hatpins ought to be licensed," continued Mr. Plowden, "but, as a matter of fact. I doubt if this would be actually practical. At any rate, some steps or other
should be taken to guard against this danger. "And it is not only in this kind of way that hatpins are dangerous. In a crowd there is always peril. I have even heard of cases of people losing an eye through an injury from a woman's protruding hatpin. "A few years ago women managed
to keep their hats on without hatpins. Why can not they do so now?" By a coincidence a letter from a well-known Australian doctor, at present in London, points out the dangers of hat-pins and urges that some legislation should be made in regard to them. "The other evening I took my wife
performance she was stabbed through the arm by a pin which was driven through the back of the seat by a
woman behind us," writes this correspondent. "My wife has suffered much pain in consequence, and I think some steps should be taken against women who carelessly use hatpins in public. The present long pins are very dangerous weapons indeed, unless carefully guarded. Hatpin guards can be bought by

BANKS OF COUNTRY HAD BANNER YEAR Splendid Prosperity Shown by U. S. Comptroller in His Report. (National News Association) WASHIXGTOX, Dec. 7. Xew records for prosperity were made in the fiscal year ending Oct. 31, 1911, according to the annual report of the government comptroller of the currency, submitted to congress today by Lawrence O. Murray. The document, while made up almost exclusively of figures, is interesting from the standpoint of shooting the growing prosperity of the United States and the augmentation of wealth at a rate no less than sensational. The year was a banner one for the banks. On June 7, last, according to the report, the total of bank assets in this country aggregated $10,383,048,694, the highest figures ever reached since the beginning of the Xational bank system in this country. On Sept. 1, 1911, individual deposits reached $5,489,995,011. the highest ever attained in the history of the bank

There are many cases of accidental injury by hatpins on record. In Chicago some little time ago, Mrs. Maud Rollins, of Xew York, stepped out of a train, and, brushing against a country woman from Wisconsin, her hatpin jabbed him in the face. The man screamed with pain, and the woman was arrested and fined. The police kept her hatpin, which was fifteen inches in length. Another case occurred in London, this month.

A GREAT BATTLE.
JThe One Known In History as the "Victory of Victories." I. The battle which Is known In hlstory as the "Victory of Victories" took place at Nehavend. In Ecbatana. and 1 was fought between the new Moslem .power la 637 and the empire of Persia, then one of the most powerful of the eastern monarchies. It was one of the moot absolutely decisive battles In the history of war, and it was all the sore amazing by reason of the fact that It was won by a people who twenty years before had been unknown barbarians, lost In the deserts of Arabia. Arabian historians place the Persian loss In a single day at 100,000 men killed. This msy be and probably is an exaggeration, but the fact remains that the Persian dynasty came to an . and when the battle was over and that Zoroastrlanlsm. which had been the religion of Persia for over a thousand years, was at once supplanted by Islam. Its moderu representatives, as Is well known, are now the Parsees of India. The victory was so absolutely decisive that It extended the Arabian dominions oTer the whole of the region lying between the Caspian sen and the Indian ocean. With. the exception perhaps of the battle of Tours, no single flgbt ever made such a difference in the after history of the world.
