[How the Movement Is Received

ThrOughout the West.

 

Regarded as a. Good Instrument for the
Regulation of the Morals of the
Rising Generation — Inter—

._ eating Particulars.

 

The curfew ordinance, designed to
keep children off the streets at night,
with which the children of this state
are now threatened, and against which
they are organizing a protest, has come
to be accepted as a matter of course in
the smaller cities and towns of almost
every state west of the Mississippi
river. Perhaps no movement 1n recent
years has spread so widely in the west
and met with such general approbation
as this curfew law. It was first intro-
duced in a Minnesota town a year and a.
half or so ago. In the past six months
curfew ordinances have been adopted
in various towns in Oregon, Washing-
ton, Idaho, South Dakota, Nebraska,
Kansas, Minnesota, Michigan, Missouri,
Indiana and Georgia. The idea does not
appear to have been generally taken up
in any eastern or southern state, al-
though isolated cases have been noted
of the passage of the curfew ordinance
in the south. But in. the west the cur-
few idea is spreading at such a rate that
it is likely to be adopted universally
soon in the states west of the Mississip-
pi» Heretofore the large cities have
not thought it best to adopt such a
law, although in many cities it has been
brought up for consideration and in
some cities a curfew ordinance has
passed the city council by a small ma-
jority and been vetoed by the mayor.
The other day, however, Omaha, Neb.,
adopted the ordinance by a unanimous
vote 'of the city council. Lincoln and
South Omaha already, have such an
ordinance, and so generally is approval
Of the idea spreading that, with Omaha’s
example, it seems probable that even
the big cities of the west will before
long revive the curfew for the purpose
of regulating the habits and morals of
the rising generation.

An effort was made recently to bring
the subject to the attention of the leg-
islature of this state and to get it to
take some action in the way either of.
the enactment of a state law or of an
expression of approval of the curfew
principle. Nothing definite resulted at
the time, but the news that a. curfew
ordinance was proposed spread among
the children of the state, and various
protests from societies of young people
have reached the legislature and the ex-
ecutive. '

The general principle of the curfew
ordinances is the same wherever they
have been adopted, but the ordinances
differ in details. The idea is to pro-
yide that children under a certain age,
varying in different towns from 13-
down to 15 years, shall not be on the
streets of the town after a. stated time,
ranging from 7:30 p. m. to nine p. m.,
unless accompanied by a lawful guard-
ian. The penalty for violation of the
ordinance also varies in different towns,
but as a rule it is provided that the of-
fender shall bc taken home by the po-
lice for the first oflfense and be pun-
ished by fine or imprisonment or both
for the second and subsequent offenses.

When the curfew idea first began to
spread the suggestion of passing such
an ordinance was in many cases re-
ceived with ridicule. It was denounced
as paternalism in its worst form, be—
cause it delegated to the municipality
duties which belonged solely to pa—
rents. This argument was met by the
statement that the ordinance was di-
rected against the young hoodlums
that exist in every town, who congre-
gate on street- corners and in public
places after nightfall to the discomfmt
and annoyance of many people and to
their own detriment, to say the least,
and often to the danger of the com-
munity. This argument usually was
convincing to the opposition. It was
also urged that the hoodlums exercised
considerable influence in causing or-
dinarily well—behaved children to be-
come unruly, and that good children
were. very apt to be influenced to re-
main on the streets after the time they
should be at home. Another advantage
set forth was that the law would be
of great assistance to parents who,
under ordinary circumstances, failed
to exercise proper supervision over their
children. The curfew ordinance and
its penalties could be used as a. mild
threat to enforce obedience 1n the mat-
ter of being at home nights.

All these arguments have been re-
iterated in the various towns where the
curfew ordinance has been introduced,
and very much information as to the
working of the ordinance has been ad-
duced. Usually, when it has been pro-
posed to institute the curfew, the town
officials have written to the authorities
in places where the idea. has already
been in force some time for information
as to its result!» and the information
obtained has been made public for the
benefit of those interested. All the tesL
timony gathered from every town
where the curfew haS/been instituted
appears to be in. favor of the law, and
it seems everywhere to have proved suc-
cessful and gained general public favor.
Even the children are said to be pleased
with the law. It is- not enforced in an
oppressive manner, and a good deal of
latitude is allowed in its enforcement.

PROVIDENCE AND A PISTOL:
Rather Remarkable Story Which Carries
a Moral Teaching:

A half dozen or so men were sitting
out in front of an uptown hotel the
other evening telling stories, and a Star
reporter was taking them all in with an
avidity peculiar to his class.

“When I was 21,” said a tall man, evi—
dently f1 om a southern state, “I had an

ungovernable temper and a. half-broth-.

er three years older than myself. We
were both church members, but that
didn’t seem to bring us any closer to-
gether, for he was a Methodist and I
was a Baptist. You may have ob-
served,” he threw in as a decoration to

the story, “that Christian Charity and.

brotherly love don’t always thrive on
denominational feed. Howev er, as I
was saying, we were of different de-
nominations, and we got along fairly
well togethér until we began arguing
on our respective faiths. Then we got
hot, and I always lost my temper. I
may say that he did very nearly the
same, but he wasn’t quite as bad as I
was in that regard.

"One day we were out hunting with
only one gun, a squirrel gun, between
us, and I had the gun. I may add here
that we lived on a farm, and a one- gun
hunting party was not at all unusual.
We had sat down on a rock near the
edge of a stream to rest, and in some
way I slipped and went into the water.
It made me mad to begin with, and
when he began chafling me and telling
me that a Baptist ought to be used to a

little thing like that, I got ten times

worse and hit him a lick in the face.
He ran off a few yards and picked up a.
bowlder about as large as your double
fist, while I made a grab for the gun,
which I had set up against a willow
tree under the bank.

“Of course, we did not know what we
were doing by this time; only I remem-
ber of telling him if he raised his hand
to throw the stone I’d shoot him. He
was nervy, though, and I hadn’t more
than got the words out of my mouth
than he let the bowlder come at me, and,
true to my word, I banged away at him.
We weren’t 40 feet apart, and it was a
stand-off between the bowlder and the
bullet as to which was the more dan-
gerous, but Providence, I reckon, was
watching over us, for, as I fired, the
bow ldcr flew into a dozen pieces, and
both of us were left standing looking at
each other in‘ a dazed, helpless way.
Then, still not understanding what had
happened, but realizing how nearly our
tempers had brought us to bloodshed,
we rushed into each ‘other’s arms and
began crying over each other.

“When we had got over the excite-
ment and collected our wits sufficiently
to make an investigation, we discovered
that by the merest chance—by Provi-
dential interference, I mean—my bullet
and his bowlder had met in their flight
and nullified each other. On one piece
of the broken stone we found the blue
mark of the bullet, and in another place
we found the battered bullet. He took
the bulletand I took the piece of marked
stone, and we have kept them t1. ' his
day, as sacred souvenirs, and as very
potent reminders never to discuss our
respective beliefs. I’m just as strong a
Baptist as ever, and he is equally a
Methodist, but we both believe that
greater than either Baptist or Method-
ist is the Providence that w atches over
us all. ”——Washington Star.

- DANGER IN EXCESSOF EXERCISE

People May Over-exert Themselves and
Defeat Their Purpose.

' Housework, chores, gardening, walk-
ing, climbing, cycling, running, swim-
ming and many other sports give just
the kind of exercise that is indicated in
certain conditions, due regard being
had to the physiologic effects of vary-
ing dosage. Oertel has shown how the
simple exercise of walking may be
adapted to sufferers from cardiac de~
bility by prescribing the distance and
speed and the number and length of
the rests on definite paths graduated
according to their slope. His interest.-
ing and original work has not only
given a new direction to the treatment
of certain cardiac affections, but is des-
tined to have an important influence in
establishing accuracy in the prescrip»
tion of exercise. Whoever has studied
the map of the environs of Reichenhall,
Bavaria, prepared. by Oertel for the ap-
plication of his method, will acquire a
vivid idea of what precision of dosing in
exercise means. In this map the dif-
ferent paths suitable for the work are
marked in four different colors, to indi
cate those that are nearly level, those
slightly sloping, moderately sloping,
and steep, and figures are placed along
each route to show the space that
should be traversed in each quarter
hour.

The locality itself is prepared for its
remedial use by placing benches f01
resting at suitable distances, and by
marking on certain trees near the path
circles, colored to correspond with the
map, to indicate the difficulty of that.
certain section. By systematic practice
on the easier paths, the heart and sys-
tem are progressively trained and
strengthened. Intelligent analysis may
do the same work for cycling, horse—
back riding and many other familiar
exercises. In this way the dosage is
practically reduced toadefinitenumbm
of kilogrammeters in a given time, and
a. step has been taken in placing the
prescription of exercise upon a scien-
tific basis. ——Appleton’ s Science Month-

A Singular Coincidence. '

A gentleman from the north was
spending a few days in Houston, He
was stopping with a leading citizen
whose acquaintance he had made. 'As
they entered the house, the stranger
asked: . .

“Haven’t you got any old relics of the
Texas revolution?” '

“Allow me to introduce you to my
mother-in—law,” responded the Houston
man, as the old lady, the widow of a
Texas veteran, entered the morn—Dal-

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

——At the funeral of Miss Jennie Rum-
,sey, a popular young woman of Kiowa,
Kan, the other day, women acted as
pallbearers.

—-Iowa almost from the date of its
admission has been called the “Hawk-
eye state.” Hawkeye was the name of
a noted Indian chief.

——Taking the young andthe old to-

gether, it. is found that 25 years is the '

average at which people die in Lon-
don. In England and Wales only, more
than 100, 000 persons are always slowly
dy mg of consumption.

-—-Ladies’ bangs are good indicators
of a coming storm. When they “go out
of curl” the indication is for rain. When
they are dry and crisp, fair weather
will ensue. When the hair is naturally
curly, however, it becomes more so on
the approach of rain.

—Silk dresses rustle much more loud-
ly in dry weather, because they are al-
most devoid of moisture, and the. fric-
tion between their folds is considerable
and noisy; ,when rain is impending
the silks absorb a portion of the moist»
ure and become almost silent.

———A curious lake has been found in
the island of Kildine, in the North sea.
It is separated from the ocean by a nar-
row strip of land and contains salt
water under the surface, in which
sponges, codfish and other marine ani-
mals flourish. The surface of the water,
however, is perfectly fresh and sup-
ports diaphnias and other fresh water
creatures.

—-A Russian citizen of Manistique,
Mich, has rec'eived notice from the Rus-
sian government that he is expected to
return to that country and do military
service or pay $300, in case of refusal
to do either of which the property of
his relatives in that country will be
confiscated. He is a naturalized citizen
of this country, and has consequent-1y
applied to the government authorities
for advice in the case.

WHAT HATS WEIGH.

Some Curiously Interesting Figures Com-
piled by an Expert.
“Do you know the actual weight of a

hat ?” queried the spruce salesman, as.

he handed out several “new styles.”
“People don’t generally. I asked a
man that question the other day, and be
guessed '14 ounces on that hat, which
weighs exactly four and a half. An
ordinary silk hat weighs only seven.

“I looked up the matter recently, and .

so I know precisely. A ‘s'rlker’ is al’
most the heaviest hat made, though
hunting hats weigh more from their
having an inner lining of great stiff-
ness and strength to save a. man if he
should be thrown on his head. The
hunting top hats weigh ten ounces, and
the hunting derbies nine. A winter
derby weighs five and a quarter ounces,
varying a quarter ounce either way for
size, and a summer soft felt three and
three-quarter ounces.

“‘When it comes to women’s head-
gear, there are all sorts of weights,

though seldom does a woman’s hat of
ples, write or call

any kind run more than seven ounces.
It depends on the kind of trimming and
fal-lals. Some ribbons are heavy, and
so are some artificial flowers. Jet is
heavy, too. The average little bonnet
weighs two ounces totwo and a half,
a trimmed ‘sailor’ three and a half, and
a ‘Sennett’ (the kind that have brims
stiffened with glue) four and three-
quarters.

“The French ‘creations’ are heavier,
but they are not so weighty as you
might suppose. Six and a half to seven
ouces means a big, heavy hat, and one
you would need X rays to see through
if you happened to sit behind 11; ”—N
Y. Herald. .

The Factor of Safety in Bicycles.

The manufacturer of the modern bi-
cycle presents one of the most complex
and delicate problems known to me-
chanics. The reason is that what sci-
entists term the “factor of safety” is
lower in the bicycle than in almost any
other mechanical product. In high-
pressure guns, for instance, the. safety
is even as great as 20—that is, guns are
made 20 times as strong as is theoretic-
ally necessary for the strain they’are
to bear. In ordinary guns the factor of
safety is 12, in boilers it is about six, in
bridges usually five, and in almost.
every other form of machine it is at
least four. Such Vvide'margins of extra
strefigth are deemed as an offset to
errors in theoretical computations or
defects in material construction. With
the modern light construction in bi-
cycles it is reduced to a very small mar-
gin, being as low in instances as 1.25.
Such being the case, it can be under-
stood readily why the makers of stand-
ard high-grade machines maintain a.
rigid system of inspection. In fact,
every well-appointed bicycle factory
has a thoroughly equipped testing de—
partment, in. order that there may be
no miscalculations or guesswork in the
material entering the construction of
their wheels—Boston Transcript.

 

Floor Had Been Polished.
“Jane.”
It was thevoice of Mr. Billtonger, and
in its accents were both pain and anger.

“Jane, it is' three weeks since
we moved; Haven’t you swept the
floors yet? I’ve stepped on another
tack.”

From her post of vantage at the head
of the stairs Mrs. Billtonger looked
down in undisturbed calm.

“The hall floor has just “been pol-
ished, ” she said. “Don’t step on it with
that tack in. your foot or, you will
scratch it.”

Two days later it cost Mr. Billtonger
$27 for repairing the damage he did to
his hall floor on that awful night.—
