NO COMIC VALENTINES
CHICAGO SUBURB PLACES A BOY
COTT ON THEM.
Special to The GIoDe.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2.-Comic valentines
are tabooed in Ravenswood. Although
there are some dolls with foolish coHnte-
nances still in possession of the children
of this aristocratic suburb, the highly
colored caricature which has delighted
the eyes of youngsters for generations
is lacking this season.
The comic valentines exclusion act is
for the saving Of the child mind from
lowering influence and toward inculcaI-
ing in the tender brain the desire for
high thinking. Though the children rebel
against this training, it will do no good
for the hearts of the storekeepers have
hardened against them. To all demands
for comic valentines savage answers are
given.
Petitions were circulated among pa
rents requesting them to forbid their
children purchasing comic valentines
Signatures were easy to get. Every one
that lives in Ravenswood takes a pride
in the suburb.
What could the small shopkeepers do
in the face of such a storm? There was
nothing for them to do except fall into
line. Accordingly they agreed that no
comic valentines should daTken show
windows in Ravenswood.

Gentlemen: Being anxious to take up
the work of Manual Training in the
Cleveland High School on February first,
I would respectfully ask your honora-
bic body to make a special appropria-
ton of one hundred dollars to complete
our equipment. No additional teaching
force will be needed this year.
The fact that the Board has never been
called upon to make any special appro-
priation for tile equipment of the Cleve-
land High School and that the library
has been built up and the laboratories
have been well equipped. using only the
State High School Aid Fund. leads me
to urge the Importance and necessity
of this small appropriation at this time

fully concur in the above, and urge

quested.

AUDITED CLAIMS

The following claims, having been aud
tied by the respective committees, were
presented:

as part Of legacy from his grand
father, to whom it had been presented
by a Maori chief. Said it's owner, Il
have travelled 10000 miles with the
image, and it has brought disaster aft
er disaster upon ME. I have often en-
deavored to destroy it, but without
avail.
Il once threw it under train. and,
in running to get out of the way, fell
and broke one of my fingers. Then
was arrested for endangering the lives
of passengers. When in London three
months ago, I threw it into the
Thames, and drunken sailor who
fished it out brought it back to my
rooms, and in his rage at not receiv-
ing a reward almost beat me to death.
while in San Francisco I tried to
chop it to pieces with an ak, when the
ak, rebounding, struck me on the fore
head with almost fatal effect. The
wood is so hard that an ordinary fire
will not destroy it, and I am afraid to
get rid of it otherwise because of the
evil results"
The image was crude figure in
rosewood and ebony, and about two
feet long. Failing to get it cremated
in st. Louis, it's owner started for
New York, where he was determined
to have it destroyed at whatever cost.

Fire -Extingushins Apparatus That
Needs No Human Naturalization

There are at the present time in
nearly all states laws which enforce
the placing of fire extinguishing ap-
patratus on each floor of factory or
other buildings where people find en-
ployment or amusement, but nearly
all the means provided to stife the
flames necessitate the actual manipu-
lation of the extinguisher by personal
contact. AS this requires presence of
mind and bravery at an instant when
people are more apt to flee, with little
opportunity to return later to extin-
suish the flames, it seems that there
should be a field for the automatic ap-
paratus recently invented by Louis
Werlun of Elsmere, DEL, which can
be arranged to operate by thermo-
static means, or set in motion by the
closing of an electric switch at any
point inside or outside of the building.
AS will be seen, the usual acid-alkali
combination Of liquids is utilized in
making up the extinguisher, the acid
being contained in the small cup at
the base Of the neck of the extin-
glisher. Upon the closing of the
electric circuit gate is withdrawn
from beneath body of shot suspend
ed in the neck and these instantly
fall to the top Of the cup, rupturing
the air tight tinfoil cover, displacing
the acid from the cup and mixing it

an ordinary dining chair and does
not interfere in any way with the use
of the latter by grown persons, while
the seat can be folded in small COM
pass when not needed for the child.
The frame consists of two vertical
posts of sufficient length to extend
from the upper to the lower cross
piece of the chair back, with a seat
pivoted between the posts and sup
ported at the outer ends by two
chains. In addition, there is a tray
having extension braces at the sides
for insertion in brackets on the up.
rights, supported by two vertical
posts pivoted to the front Of the seat.
BY detaching the braces from the
brackets and allowing the tray to tilt
forward and down the seat is exposed
to make it an easy matter to place
the child in position or lift it out.
The device is suspended on the
chair by means of two hooks which
screw into the posts and their adjust
ment raises the seat to the required
height.

In accordance with the bill above
referred to plans have been drawn
and contract let for central lighting
and heating plant to cost x15,000. A
third building now being planned is a
i gymnasium at an estimated cost of
$4,000.
The university is supported by
general tax of one-half mill upon each
dollar of valuation on the assessment
roll of the Territory. In addition to
this, Section 13 in each township in
what is known as the Cherokee Outlet
was reserved from settlement, for
university, normal school and agri-
cultural school purposes. The lands
so reserved have been leased for the
benefit of the institutions named.
The additional lands recently opened
for settlement increase the income of
the university so that it receives an
nually for it's support something be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000.
twenty-five instructors are now en-
ployed and additions to the faculty
are made each year as the demand for
additional courses makes it necessary.
The enrolment last year was four
hundred, large percentage of which
was of college rank. The university
is a member of the Northwestern AS
;sociation of State Universities and it's
courses rank with those in any of the
state institutions of the Northwest.
The institution is patronized by the
people VINO come to Oklahoma and
the Indian Territory from many of
the eastern and southern states, who
are enthusiastic and loyal in their
support of the Territorial school. Its
legitimate domain is Oklahoma and
the Indian Territory and the summer
just passed has shown it to be grow

sections of the country. It's privileges
are free to both peoples. and the

The coronation year has not result
ed in the great rush for diamonds +
that was expected; and the quieter
looking but more expensive pearl has Z
gained an easy lead" The manager i
OF Tifany's told London Express,
representative recently that the sales
of diamonds during the past year had
not been very much above the normal,
but the amount of alteration and re-
pair work, resetting of stones, ETC.,
had been extraordinarily. great, and
the expert workmen had been kept
very busy. The chief work had been
in connection with the repair Of fam
lily jewels, while large numbers of
Americans staying in England for the
coronation had their diamonds reset
and polished by English workmen.
The American grande dame was al
ways large buyer of diamonds, and
was particularly anxious to have them
set in the English style. The reason
for the small increase in the sale Of
diamonds was the great popularity of
the pearl, which had become exceed
ingly fashionable of late months, in
spite of it's expensiveness.
The usual price of a pearl neck
lace ranged from 100000 to $4,000,
and really fine necklace was not to
be had for less than 275,000. Where
a society woman could make "good
show" in diamonds for $4,000, she
could do very little for the same
amount in pearls.
Simplicity was the keynote of the
fashion in diamonds and clusters of
largo stones, made into brooches and
pendants and other articles of adorn-
ment, were far more popular and Gre
ated a better effect than large col
lection of small diamonds set thick
ly together. The average price for
a diamond brooch with fine large
stones was $4,000, and this article.

when ten thousand dollars and forty
acres of land should be donated to the
territory by the city of Norman, the
institution should be located at that
place. These requirements were met
IN 1892 and the university was estab.
lished in that year.

lege OF arts, school of music, a
school OF pharmacy, a preparatory
school, a school of medicine, and a

protection against rear-end col
lisions, a similar guard could be at
tached to the rear car of the train,
or better yet, a special car might be
built according to the design illus
trated, in which the guard has per-

In the second arrangement it will
be noticed that the guard is provided

that the guard on the locomotive is
capable of adjustment to the one side
or the other. So that in the event
of an impending collision the engin-
