AS Dallas grows and expands, there
Is steadily increasing demand for
additional arc street lights. The
business district and the older resi-
dence portion Of the town are we'll
lighted, but the spreading suburban
district has not been so we'll provided
for. The residents of Germantown
and the Ellis addition, as we'll as
those of the portion of town north and
east of the new sawmill, are cIamoring
for street lights, and it is probable
that the city council will be asked to
make provision for the small addi-
tional expense necessary to secure the
Increased service when making the
annual tax levy. 1t Is reported that
the electric light company stands
ready to make a substantial reduction
In the monthly charge for arc lights
as soon as the additional lamps are
ordered by the council.

Mrs. H. E. Kozer continues the
story Of her rambles among historic
scenes in this number OF the OBSERVER.
Her description Of the furnishings of
the old Washington mansion at Mount
Vernon will be especially interesting
to every housewife. Mrs. Kozer is a
close observer and she has the happy
faculty of being able to tell what she
sees In her travels. She uses few
words, yet her contributions are never
prosy. Her letter to the OBSERVER.

The Gaekwar of Baroda, an official
ofsome importa in his own country,
has been touring America and has
stirred several newspapers to wrath by
declaring that American women are
not handsome. Farther than that
their criticism Of His Nibs' Judgment
makes fair quality of 'flling" at a
time Of the year when news is scarce,
these papers waste valuable time
when they pay any attention to the
opinions of this greasy potentate.
The best answer to his criticism we
have seen in any newspaper is a
picture showing two famous American
beauties and between them the Gaek-
wars wife, the latter a fat pudge-
faced squaw. Nocomment accompanies
the picture, for the very simple reason
that none is necessary.

Timber EaIIer Injured.

H. E. Palmer, timber faller in the
employ of the Falls City Lumber
Company, was badly hurt on Tuesday
while cutting timber at one of the
camps of the company above Falls
City. While working on a spring
board falling tree he was struck by
a limb, which had become loosened in
some way, and striking the ground
crushed his side in such manner as
to fracture several ribs. Latest re-
ports say he is resting easily aud his
physicians are confident of his re-
covery.

DISEASE OF LEPR0SY

Physician Who Has Spent Life
in Studying Malady So
Declares.

WASHINGTON, Sept. ls.-After
displaying rare heroism bv the devo-
tion of a Lifetime to study of leprosy,
Eugene Fl. Plumacher, American Consul
Mt Maracaibo, Venezuela, had decided
that the dread malady is not con.
tagious, but is hereditary to n degree
not reached in any other disease.
He has made an exhaustive report to
the State department telling of his per
sonal attendance upon lepers afflicted
In the most revoltiug form
His report indicates that leprosv is
durable, but that there Is little hope in
Venezuela or other Latin American
colonies, where nutritious foods and ex-
pensive drugs rarely are provided
DR.. Plumacher concludes his report
by SAYING;
"What leprosy is we do not know
but our people at home should be en-
lightened through the press that it is
cruel TO shun and abandon Il poor suf-
fering human creature because he is Il
Lazarus. Smallpox is much more con-
tagious I will cheerfully attend to any
class OF leprosy. but smallpox makes me
shudder. | would, if allowed, make
