MORMON ATTACKS
WOMEN’S DRESS
PREVAILING FASHIONS IS DE
CLARED HUMILIATING TO
MODESTY.
SALT LAKE CITY, April 15.—
President Joseph F. Smith, of the
Mormon church, made a vigorous
attack on present day dress of ivo
i men before an audience of several
thousand men and women at the
Sunday school conference of the.
j church in the Tabernacle, Sunday
night.
i "I want to enter my protest
against the prevailing fashions for
women,” he said.
“I see young women going down
the streets in garb not only ridicu
lous but shameful, suggestive and
humiliating to the modesty of hon
orable men: garbs that make lust
ful the low scoundrels who are trill
ing to defile anything that is sacred.
"To say that I am ashamed of
such fashions of dress is speaking
my mind very mildly. I know I
stand to be criticised and possibly
condemned by those who love the
fashions of Babylon. But many of
the fashions worn today had their
origin in the houses of infamy of
Paris and London and other centers
of so-called civilization. And women
are falling into the habit of imitat
ing the fashions of demi-monde. Our
simple girls are not wise enough to
avoid following after these infamous
—well, I should say, these poor
creatures.
“I have entered my protest
against my daughters following j
these fashions, and I thank God:
that none of them have done so.” j

CANADIAN DIVORCE LAW IS
STRICT.
(Detroit Tribune.)
Canada's divorce court is never:
entered except by members of the
wealthy class—and not frequently
by them. Only four to six divorces
are granted in Canada annually.
There is no record of a poor man
ever getting a divorce in the Domin
ion, it is said. The average cost of
a divorce in Canada is $2,000, and i
the decree is granted for only one
offense—martial infidelity.
The legislature at Ottawa ap
points a divorce committee each ses
sion and all cases are settled by
this committee. There is no appeal
in a divorce action. Those living in
the western part of the Dominion
have to pay much more for a de
cree than those living in the East
because of the heavier traveling
expenses.

HOW TO MAKE BLOOD TELL.
In accounts of murder cases we
often read of chemists making
a test of the bloodstains on the
suspect’s clothes to see whether or
not the stains are of human blood.
The test for human blood is not j
as easy as it sounds, and to estab
lish the fact of human blood stains
when dried on clothing is next to •
impossible by any short method
such as examination by the micro
scope. j
To determine whether a stain is
human blood or not is a long, com
plicetti process. First, a rabbit,
guinea pig or other small animal is
treated for a protracted period with
injections of live human blood until
it becomes "immunized.” The next
step is the production of a blood
serum from the test animal. This
serum wil] have a chemical affinity'
for the red cells of true human
blood.
The suspected blood, if dried, is
put into a salts solution and a
small quantity of it then added to
the serum from the blood of the
animal. If the red corpuscles of the
suspected blood are from the hu
man stream there will be an im
mediate union of the two, if other
wise no action will ensue.
AS electric horsewhip.
What is known as the electric
horsewhip is an attachment provided S
for the ordinary buggy whip by :
which an electric shock may be ap
plied in such a manner as to stim
ulate the horse into greater ac
tivity without injuring him. The
whip is supplied with two metal |
rings. When it is laid across the
back of the animal the two rings
come in contact with his body. A
finger-spring in the handle of the
whip starts the electric current sup
plied by a dry storage battery un
der the seat or in some other part
of the vehicle. When this current
is applied the horse receives a
slight shock.

CURIOSITIES THAT
GO BY U. S. NAIL
QUEER THINGS THAT ARE
SENT BY PARCEL POST
| ’
Fish, right out of the water, are
I
! now being carried dirovtlv to kitih
i ors by parcel post. Caught early
I in the morning, each fish is wrap
1 ped in a peculiar kind of paper
I that quickly dries to the stiffness of
; board, and shipped by mail train to
(the cities.
Enterprising producers are also
| using insulated containers, packed
! with mineral wool, for sending
! perishable stuff — such as butter,
which, cooled before it starts, re
I tains its temperature long enough to
reach the consumer in first-class
condition, even in the hottest weath
er.
A curious parcel post incident hap
pened at the little fourth-class post
office of Yonges Island, S. C., which,
over night recently jumped into the
presidential class. Bulbs and plant
cuttings did it. Yonges Island is in
the midst of a region that produces
great quantities of onion “sets,”
young tomato and cabbage plants,
etc. When Congress passed an act
admitting such things to the parcel j
post, the local postoffice was over
whelmed, five or six carloads a day ‘
being shipped.
Previously the growers had
shipped their output by express. But'
express facilities end at the rail-!
road station; whereas, Uncle Sam!
delivers the goods by rural carrier
at the farm gates. Besides, the |
parcel post is cheaper, and an im- j
mense number of young plants can j
be compressed into one package.
The newest auxiliary of the parcel
post is the automobile. Already
more than 500 rural free delivery
routes are covered by motor cars,
taking the place of horse-drawn
wagons. Y'et it was only on the
first day of last July that Congress
jassed the act providing for this
method of transporting the mails!
ic country districts.
Congress fixed the minimum
length of the automobile R. F. D.
route at 50 miles and the maximum
pay of the carrier at §1800 a year—
this sum to include the use of the
'ar. Such a machine, it is reckoned,
doubles the distance that a carrier
can properly cover, and multiplies
by eight the quantity of stuff he
can transport.
The first woman carrier; in the
R. F. D. service was regarded as
a curiosity, and a photograph of her
was exhibited with pride at the post
office department in Washington.
There are today 150 women carriers
who cover rural free delivery routes, j
