Electrical Niuht Clock

Prof. Friedrich Hirth of Munich has
invented an ingenious bedside appar.
atus by which a person in an cleo.
trlcally-lighted bedroom can tell the
time with hardly any movement. The
invention consists of lamp, which
on button being pressed throws
upon the ceiling an optical represen-
tation of small watch lighted By
electricity. The figure is sharp and
distinct, and is enlarged to the size
of a church clock.

To the housewife who has not we.
become acquainted with the new
things of everyday use in the market
and who is reasonably satisfied with
the old, we would suggest that trial
of Defiance Cold Water Starch be
made at once. Not alone because II
is guaranteed by the manufacturers
to be superior to any other brand
but because each 10c package con
tains 16 ozs., while all the other kinds
contain but IL ozs. 1t Is safe to say
that the lady who once uses Defiance
Starch will use no other. Quality

ICHIEF WHITMAN WINS
CONVENTION FOR CITY
Heads of Police Departments of the
United States and Canada Will
Meet Here Next Year.

When Chief Whitman left ten days
ago to attend the annual convention of
the Chiefs of Police of the United
States and Canada he intimated that
he would use his utmost endeavorS to
get the convention to come to this city
next year. He was backed up by the
California Promotion Committee and
Mayor Schmitz sent a personal letter
to the convention extending a hearty
welcome to it's members should they
decide to carry into effect the wishes
of the Chief.
That Whitman has been successful
was learned from a dispatch the chief
sent to Mayor Schmitz yesterday. The
message says:
San Francisco wins the next an
nual convention of the International
Association of Chiefs of Police over
Detroit and Toronto by a majority of
thirty votes, which was afterward
made unanimous" .
Major Richard d. Sylvester of Wash
ington, d. c., was elected president of
the association.
