Never! 6¢T ADIES in our first circles of s0- ciety,” says a memorial from the Vienna Milliners’ association, “still insist, in the present terrible times, on wearing Paris hats and will buy no others.” The association appeals to the authorities for help. If Austria wants a real nifty lot of trouble on its hands, the surest way to get it is to respond to the plea of the Milliners’ association. In time of stress the women, of what- ever nationality, are generally the truest patriots and the most self-sacrificing. They will suffer the hardships of war with glorious fortitude; go hungry and cold with scarcely a murmur. But give up their Paris hats? Never! It would be robbing them of their birthright and reducing them to a plane where life would not be worth living. The Milliners’ as- sociation of Vienna is simply breeding a female revolution. Growing Old FFICERS of the Philadelphia navy yard assert that the battleships Alabama, Ohio and Georgia are worn out and must be stricken from the navy roster. The Alabama was launched in 1900, the Ohio in 1903 and the Georgia in 1905. Sixteen more battleships are either older, or only a year or so newer, than the ones mentioned above, and at the same avetage period of usefulness are due to be scrap-heaped shortly. As our proposed naval building program ex tends over a period of 10 years, it doesn’t take an expert in mathematics to figure just when the final finish of Uncle Sam's navy may be looked for. Three-Cent Fare HE hearing on the proposition of a three-cent passenger fare in Arizona is being held at Phoenix. The Arizona Eastern, a Southern Pacific subsidiary line, shows that in 1915 it lost $70,000 at present rate of fare For years, the Arizona people h fought for a three-cent passenger fare, without avail. The S. P, has always been too powerful and it probably still is. But it, would seem that the policy of the Southern Pacific is a short-sighted one. No state can attain a full measure and passen; tariffs. Money lost in de veloping ie tremendous natural re- sources of the mountain states would seem money well spent. Slavery for Debt RULING of considerable import has been rendered by the supreme court of Arizona in the sustaining of an Ari- zona law permitting the infliction of a day's jail imprisonment for each dollar of an unpaid fine. It was the contention of the plaintiffs that this was equivalent to imprisonment for debt and therefore illegal. The court upheld the right of the state to impose such penalty. have five children.
