Afier exhaustive investigation, the Chicago Vice Commission has n;ade its report which contains some things valuabla to the general public for if the recommendations contained therein were carried out "it* would only be a question of the time until vice was reduced to/ a minimum, while many of the diré results of our present system of handling the social evil would be promptly checked The commission takes qp the con- tributing causes of thig evil and chsslfied them as follows; “Want of the necessntms of . life, Lraving for simple quunes. ignorance, “broken promises, deceit of men; but chief of all—poverty. Lack of pro- tection to immigrant girls aids the evil, the report says, ard lake steam- ers with no regulations are fruitful sources of victims. Lack of proper pay for working girls 'is -assailed ‘at great length in bitter terms and is called the chief feason' why' young girls fail to resist temptations placed in their path, ! (k] ; ““The causes are summed up thus: Lack of ethical and religious teach- ing; economical stress on underpaid workers; 'large mumber of :seasonal trades for women, leaving periods of the year with nb employment; abnormality; unhappy home condi. tions; careless and ignorant parents; broken promises; love of ease and luxury, craving for excitement and change; ignorance of hygiene.” In drawing its deduction as to the remedies to be applied the commis- sion has this ro say: “Instruction of children 12: to 16 years old in sex hygiene; by person- al attention of parents; physical ex- amination of applicants for marriage licenses; better/pay for girls; abolish- went of the flpmx system against | known members of vice districts; an intelligent and ample adult probation system; home for old ofienders, appeal to the chwal‘ry of man; regu- Iation of Jake boats; investigation and. | supervision of empluyment agencies; Iaws calling centers ot the evil public nuisances, against ‘allow- ing messenger boys to go into vice districts; the state to take the place of parents to illegitimate cHjldren; comfort stations in the city; municip-| al dance hall; frequent rotation of policemen; no liquor at public dance halls; municipal lodging | house for women; segregation of semi-delin- guent girls from delinquents; and an intelligent ‘care and education for g\rls and 'boys.” | them; women officers=ifor the police in public schools; hoxels aond homes for working women and girls; tvigal- ance in public purks where girls and women visit; and less liberty for chll- dren except under the eve of thely parents; and, generally, closer anen"r' tion of parents to the habit, ncquainb— ances.and doings of theu' chllqnn-— THE IIILMIIDIIS HOUSE. The scenes almost daily enactefl by the lower branch of the Minne- sota legislature are nearly as inter- esting asa football game or prize: fight, even if theyiare more; dxsgrace- fully disorderly. It willbea relief to .the smte which 'is ‘at’ the expense ‘of ‘main- taining the leglslatlve session. when it ' draws | itsi lastbreat'\ loneé ! week from Wednesday, With but few exceptions, the good: which the present body , of . law .makers can 4ccomplish jig!al thing! ot the ‘past Ever since the recent sad attack of “'Klemeriticis” chaos has reigned for, the most - part in the House, with the result that at the present time if a bill is passed it is by acci- dent. (‘There . are submarine bombs everywhere,” is the way one member of the House explained, and it doesn’t take much to cause an ex- plosion. Whether a majority or two thirds vote should prevail in taking up a bill'or whether it is ‘onif a motion to adjourn, the jangling is apt to start and when once it does the House is not satisfied until it has gone through with what the reporters ternr “an uproar,” and that vsually is a correct term. Now that Speaker Dunn is back on duty it may be that he will have {2 quieting effect, although, there are indication's that sich'will not be the case. All Uthis is unfortunate as there are many meritorious measures which could and ought to be con: sidered.’ / { 9] Unless the atmosphere clanfiesl wonderful and at once about all that can be expected from now on of the House is that it will pass the necessary ‘appropriation bills, and there are even "threats at holding these measures up by! certain mem- bers who would thus seek to retaliate || on the " ground that they have not received a square deal.- This, how- ever, is hardly likely as the state institutions would be sadly crippled, if not forced to close, if the state failed ‘to!make the Pproper pppropna- t.on £or their malmenance durjng the next two years. Inany event the House of 1911 will go down in history as the g',ormiest in the hiufiory of the state. P00 000000900 O & WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY ©| 0@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ ‘State Division T’fl( | As a result; of the [recent refusal of the state senate to give the people of Minnesota relppomonmsut pnd eqnal representation accordmg to po;‘mlntwn as provxded by the state Constitution, many "of the’ news- papers in the-nonhern part of the staté are clamonng tur state dwmon. We are -loath to believe that the action taken' 'by the ' senators' of Southern Minnesota on the reappor- tionment bill - represented the senti- ments of their constituents, but be- lieve rather that they |conmsulted only their own selfish interests. How- ever, if it. is really. the desire of that part of the state to ignmore the consmunonal rights of | Northern Mlnnenota, the qulcker we part company wnth them the better for Dugmntled By Defelt. | The Lonz Prame Leader is still ‘wokag—oVemme ev1dently-m an efioyt to discredit Hon.

The human body contains no- fewer than four substances which are so in- flammable that in a pure state they will “go off” by spontaneous combus- tion.. For instance, there is phospho- rus. The body of a person weighing 120 pounds contains twenty-two! ounces ‘of this substance, ‘which, as! everybody knows, readily takes fire of its own accord if exposed. to the air } it is combined with lime to malke the! bones, taking the form of phosphate limé. The body of a human being weighing 120 pounds. contains nemlv‘ one and a half ounces of magnesium. | two ounces’ of sodium and neafly two | and a half ounces of potassium. The] first of these, a substance of “ll\'&l‘y' whiteness, is so readily aid. fiercely | combustible that it has to be. kept tightly corked in bottles to prevent. it from igniting, of its own accord.

Japanese Logic, A teacher of English In Japan re- cently gave. as an examination ques- tion, “What is a ventilator?” Besides the number of answers thuat were ap- proximately correct, there were LWo, which indicated i that the students must have been absent eitber in body lor mind :on the day: when the; school” room ventilator 'had been discussed. The first was, “The ventilator lives in the mountains;” the second, “Colum: ‘bus was a | great ventilator.” When occasion offered .the teacher remind¢d his class that attention and application. are requisite for acquiring knowledge and .seriously asked them why any ione should have-given an answer such as the one concerning Columbus, One of the best spokesmen in the class essayed an explanation somewhat as follows: : “Columbus brought new ideas back to of thought and opened a great door into the new and outer world; there fore he .was. a -great vgnnlntol e Youtb’s Companion. i Hospital Fighters.

H | J‘un /30 and 81 and Feb. 1 are famm at Constantluople. Brescia and along the Danube and the Rhine as the “blackbird dsys.” A curious legend says that originally all species of grack- les (blackbirds) were white and that they became black because during one year in the middle ages the three days mentioned above were so cold that all the birds in Europe took refuge in the chimneys. At Brescia the three days are celebrated with a feast called ‘“I glorni della merla,” or “the feast of the transformation of the bird.” i Possibly.

'his chief subject, uses language of dry scorn, “The king could only ‘act the part of a gentleman for ten minutes at a time.” and we find the common- est satellites of the court despised the wicked fribble who wore the crown of England. Faithless to women, faith- less to men, a coward, a liar, a mean and groveling cheat, George IV. never- theless' clung to a belief in his own virtues. and if we study the account of his farcical progress through Scot- land we fipd that he imagined 'himself to be a useful and genuinely kingly personage. No man.' except ' perhaps FPhailippe Egalite, was ever so con- temned and hated. and until his death he'imagined himself to be a good man —Runciman “Sidelights.” Her Splendid Economy. Their dinner for two cost $15. but the man’s wife argued that in the end | it was economy to dine at an expen- | sive restaurant because it gave her a chance to study the fashions. “If we ate in some cheap'place pat- ronized only by dowdily dressed wom- ez, she said. “I would have to hire en expensive woman to design my new dresses, but by eating here 1 get a chance to study the clothes worn by women' of position and can ‘design 'my own' gowns.” That sounded convincing. There was 0o blessing on earth, the man refiected, equal to an economical, managing wife, and he settled the bill with com- parative cheerfulness. later he was given another bill to set- tle. That called for $150. “What is this for?” he demanded. “Oh.” she replied, *“that is the cost of a dress 1 copied in the restaurant the other night.”—New York Sun. _— Hotels as Hospitals. “Next to a hospital give me an uD to date hotel in which to take care of a very sick patient,” said a New York | trained nurse. “T've nursed in of the big hotels here in New York, 1 and it's really wonderful the supplies that can be brought at a moment’s no- tice. Ice bags. hot water bottles, crutches and wheel chairs are always on tap, there's always some one avail- able to help lift a patient. and if the patient’s a man there’s always a bar- ber at hand to shave him. And there’s the woman in the sewing room to stitch a rapidly. cut binder. There’s an operating room at your disposal if surgery has to. be resorted to, and there’s a protected roof to take your | patient to during convalescence. Al- together the modern hotel is the rival of a hospital when it comes to con- veniences for the sick. "—New York Sun, i ; Curious Transference of Heat.

The heated end is then plunged into a pail of cold water. Immediately the other end be- comes so hot that it is impossible to, bold it.

The Banner mines are in the west- ern part of Jefferson county. They are owned by the Pratt Consolidated Coal company, with offices at Birming- ham.

Bismarck was not without supersti- tlon, and this always was noticeable on the eve of the new year. From 9 o'clock that night until after midnight he would not take water in any' cir- cumstances from a glass. It was an ancient tradition in the 'chancellor’s family that any one who set the legend { at defiance would pass through a seri- ous illness.’ If another tradition is true the observance of the family legend must have been a sore trouble to the i iron chancellor, for the Paris contem porary from which we take the fore- | going says that loved war, but beer and wines, espe- cially French wines.

Some years ‘ago, ‘when ' playing in Leeds, 1 started a swimming compe- tition among the members of my com- { pany and to encourage them offered as a prize 'a 'silver loving cup (won, by the way, by the late Edward Lon- nen).

Moss troopers was the name given to the desperate plunderers and rob- bers who secreted themselves through- out the sixteenth and seventeenth cen- turies in the ‘‘mosses” on the borders of Scotland. These outlaws were largely made up of deserters and crim- inals from thé armies of England and | the continent, and their depredations and cruelties were the terror of the re- glon infested by them. Many severe laws were passed against them, but they were not fairly extirpated unti) the eighteenth century.
