AFTER A SIMPLE MILITARY MODEL

The bed rooms Of the properly con-
structed summer home should approach
the condition of primitive simplicity as
far as possible, excepting. perhaps, the
guests chambers. A visitor frequently
wishes to use her sleeping room as a stit-
tug room also, and therefore does not
enjoy a Spartan severity OF style in fur
nishings.
The floors should be bare. except for
rug before the bed and before the wash
stand. They should be PAINTED dark
Drown and waxed. brown wood floor
shows dust with startling rapidity, and
as dust is particularly unwho olesome in a
sleeping room che sooner it is seen and
disposed of the better. The walls are

ing more glaring and not SO picturesque

Leather Tires for BICYCLES

Two Frenchmen OF Rheims have re-
Gently completed an invention which
they claim will in measure revolu-
tionize the present pnou.ndtic tire.
They build their wheels Dy substituting
an outer puneumatic tube made of leath-
er for the rubber tubes now in use.
Their invention has been taken up by the
ministry of war, who are now perfecting
the idea with a view to supply all the
military cycles with tires thai will not
give out easily.
The resistance of leather is considerably
greater than that of rubber and ii will
better stand the pressure from within
and the exterior agents OF destruction,
sucn as nails, hoops, roots, or sharp peb-
bles. 1t is not absolutely imperforable.
but is ut least as good as a fine steel band
which was experimentally placed be-
tween the outer and inner tubes, and
which was pierced by needles and tacks
Leather offers the greatest mpenetrability
in relation to its thickness without i'm
pairing the necessary elasticity. 1t Is
further improved by preparation which
renders 1t impermeable TO water. The
leather tire is easily repaired in case OF per.
fpration-any cobbler can sew 1t up-and
this repair Is permanent and not likely
to get out of order.
Other advantages claimed by the leath-
er tire are: Greater lightness; it will not
get out OF shape rs does rubber, and it
will not slip on asphalt pavements or wet
roads. The new material for the tire
seems to meet with great encouragement
on the part of the military authorities

ONTARIO Aug 3.-For two days the

if its mandates were again ignored by

the meantime the old board runs the city.
After convening court, Judge Howell of
the district court said he had hoped that
this morning he could have taken up the
legal aspect OF the case presented by the
injunction. But the question now pre-
sents itself" said the Judge. shall the
community allow this defiance of the law

The Judge was much disappointed, he
said, to find TINS complication because he
had hoped being free from any concerned
in the matter. because he had lived in
another county, and had not half the in
terest which might have dominated
some.
Judge Doane, of .he old commissions s

the action of the city council was in de-
tiance of the law and nothing but an
archistic and an attempt on their part to
carry their point in spite law and order.
Richard Hall, for the new board, insist
ed that because Judge Doane stated that
the law points coulu now be raised in the

first suit must be fraud on the court.
