WOMEN THE BEST BUYERS.
(Taunton Gazette.)
It is generally admitted that women
buy closer than men do. They have a
Keen sense of values In household fur
nishings, clothing and food supplies.
'1 he family where the woman does the
buying usually lives cheaper than the
home with a man a purchaser. One
principal reason for this contrast is
that women study the stores, their
contents and their newspaper adver
tising more closely. While the men
are reading baseball or politics the
women are after the store news. They
examine it thoroughly and any an- I
nouncement of special values, bargain
sales, odd lots, closing out sales, is
studied word for word. After a woman
h is looked over the newspapers and
■b rls down town on a shopping expe
lion, she knows pretty’ nearly what
she wants. She has a pretty definite [
tour mapped out, knows where she
wants to go, what she is after and i
• \.hal it is going to cost her, and the
result is that the family pocketbook !
goes a long way In the hands of the j
prudent and businesslike woman.
MILLIONS FOR PICTURES.
(Providence Journal.)
Statistics of the moving picture
houses of this country are impressive.
The investment in this class of thea
ters is said to be $120,000,000. The 1
length of the films made in a year Is
estimated at forty to fifty thousand
miles. The total of the paid admis
sions is $275,000,000. These figures cov- 1
er 1913 and it is probable that the '
returns for 1914 will be more impres- J
sive still, as there is nothing to indi- j
cate waning interest In this class of
entertainment.
T1 .• statement that the picture thea- '
lets are damaging the business of the
saloon keepers appears to be reason
aide. I’ndoubtedly the movies have
I retell, new business, but the assump
tion that they have checked the sale !
of intoxicants and helped along the ;
anti-liquor movement Is within the ^
hounds of probability.
NO MORE PATCHE8.
(Chicago News.)
In the days when economy was
rtr’-oned among the virtues, patches
on clothing were common nnd were
worn without reproach. Indeed, there
was a vague sort of melodramatic no- '
tiou that one’s honesty was In ratio to
om 'a proverty, and one’s poverty was
In ratio to one’s patches. Rags were
royal raiment when worn for vlrture’s
Kill-1- according to the platform ora
tor. who was always clad like a bride
groom. But In the good old days—
everybody calls them that, though lit- ;
tie good Is told of them—what one 1
wore represented a considerable In
vestment. Nearly everything was
made by slow and laborious hand
methods. A coat was looked upon as
"property ’’ It was handed down from
fat he. to son, as mother's black silk
was handed down to daughter. Wool
was wool and silk was silk. Te tiles
v til*' stard wear and tear. They were 1
not adulterated with tin, lead, zinc,
prussic aid and benzoate of soda. But
now “the fashion wears out more ap- :
parel than the man,’’ and, even though
it did not, the tin suits of an adulter
ated generation would never stand
patching. Clothing Is Inexpensive, so
that we may be cheaply beautiful and
always have something r^w. We do
not repair, we replace. It is not worth
while to patch. To sum up, we find
that clothing Is too cheap to make
patches worth while; that modern
clothing Is not worth patching, and

that everybody can now afford new
clothes as desired. Therefore let us

SIGNS IN THE HEAVENS.
(Kansas City Star.)
So many devout persons In France
have seen luminous halos, crowns and
crosses in the sky of late that the di
rector of an observatory has issued a
statement giving the scientific explan
ation of the phenomena. In times of
stress In all ages mystics have fancied
they saw signs in the heavens. In con
nection with the present outburst on j
the subject it may be recalled that
Constantine in the year 312, lighting
lor the lordship of the Roman empire,
fancied lie saw a heavenly eiuss with
the inscription "In hoc slgno vinces.”
"In this s'gn thou shalt conquer.” As
there was no observatory at that time
to Issue a scientific explanation of re
flections produced by humidity, the
cross of Constantine has become cele
brated. The decllm In the number of
such mystical signs, of course, is In
direct proportion to the advance In
scientific knowledge.
CENSORING THE PRESS.
(SeattleP.-I.)
In support of its prohibition law, the
Alabama legislature went to the limit
in passing a statute to prevent the
sale In that state of any magazine or
newspaper which carried any adver
tisement of any kind of Intoteating
liquor. The supreme court of tile state
has just decided that this statute Is
constitutional and that such a censor
ship Imposed upon foreign newspapers
and periodicals Is within the police
powers of the state.
if Alabama can prohibit the sales
of all outside newspapers and periodi
cals which contain one class of adver
tising, it can arrogate to Itself the
power to censor any other class of ad
vertising, or, Indeed, any editorial ex
pressions which ft might find objec
tionable. In other words, the supreme
court of the state of Alabama Insists
on the right of that state to control
interstate commerce in printed matter
and to forbid any printed matter from
other states to reach its citizens un
less that printed matter complies
with the censorship rules which the
state has already or may hereafter es
tablish.
The people of Alabama will be the
larger offerers from the imposition of
any such rules, but newspapers and
magazines 'published in other states
have rights which they will not be
prepared to surrender at the dictation
of the state authorities, legislative,
executive or judicial. The matter will
be taken to the supreme court of the
i’nited States for final adjudication.
In the meantime the people of Ala
bama will have to put up with the
exclusion from their state of the out
side newspapers and a considerable
share of the magazines and periodi
cals published elsewhere.
THE WHITE PLAGUE.
(Atlantic City Review.)
Pure air and scientific feeding with
strict observance of hygienic rules,
has resulted In cutting down the death
rate among tubercular sufferers to a
surprising extent.
Taking the country over, Improved
sanitation has worked wonders In con
junction with the other precautions In
achieving a decrease In mortality from
the white plague that is a cheering
augury of what probably will be ac
complished In the near future.
The preponderance of tubercular
sufferers has been dismaying. That
'■■inch of the affliction arises from phy
sical Infection that Indirectly leads to
the Implanting of lung trouble does
not make the scourge any the less
dreadful. Whatever are the causes,
and even If some of them are due to
man’s own viciousness and not to nat
ural weakness, there are enough cases
occasioned by surrender to hostile sur
roundings to outdistance any other
>
I
disease In point of numbers.
According to the United States gov
i mount's figures, the south produces
o' i victims than the north, among
whites aa well as among negroes. Nat
urally the colder states produce the
fewer deaths, while California and
Colorado, being the health-building
ulcus for those affected with consump
tion, stand far ahead of their sister
states in the number of deaths, an un
tulr situation where comparisons are
concerned.
'No stronger commentary is needed
on the value of fresh air as a cura
tive agency than the evidence that
rural communities are freer from tu
bercular sufferers than cities are.
