RIGHT ON WRIST
Statesman Adams Wants a Real
Whipping Post-Mean Old
Congress Will Say No.
lBy Associated Pre.s.l

WASHINGTON. February 11.-Despite
the strenuous efforts of the most beaut!-
full member of Congress, BERTHE" Adams,
of Philadelphia. to save it, his bill to
establish a whipping post for wifebeaters
in Washington. is to be defeated.
The bill will come up for consideration
in the House Tomorrow, and it will be
Overwhelmingly beaten.
Not that there exists any sentiment ia
vorable to wifebeaters. but because II is
believed that the whipping post is II sur
yival of barbarism. and the experience OF
Delaware proves that, as a deterrent. 1t is
not salutary.
Besides, the powers of Congress decided
that the public cannot stand SO many big
questions at once. The rate bill, the
merger inquiry, the Panama Canal and
other matters have caused so much ex-
element that the addition of the whipping
post issue threatened to "a use mental
breakdowns. Moreover, the White House
wedding is looming up, and the social
authorities felt that the decks should be
cleared for that important function.
Congressman Adams's ponderous piece
OF Legislation threatened to obscure the
great event. 1t had 10 be removed from

Poor, dear BERTHE" is almost brokers
hearted over the fate that awaits his pet
measure. His nerve are so unstrung that
he needs smelling salts constantly. He
cannot realize that a measure proposed by
the man who declared war against Spain,
with the assistance of some coarse per-
sons. could be treated rudely.
II peach bloom has deserted his checks

"Bertie" conducted a marvellous cam
paign in favor of his bill. He had IL lot
of congressman UP to tiffin and intro
duced them to some real clever chappies.
But the congressman fellows have
turned out to be not at all chubby, and
out of all those whom BERTHE enter
tanned only about a dozen will vote for,

The Nantes market gardeners, the

ty to the S of leaves of trees as a
fertilizer. The leaves that fall from
the trees in the district are carefully
collected each autumn. They are
put into heaps with loan and re,left
to decay. The result is a compost
far more valuable than can be pro-
yided Iy the aid of loan and manure
Freshly gathered leaves from trees
are also used as a mulch to protect
crops from frost during the winter
months, with excellent results. They
are also dried and Used freely for
bedding material for horses and
COWS. The manure thus obtained is
far more valuable than that furnished
by the aid of straw. In English
agricultural circles straw is con-
sidered to be of greater fertilizing
value than leaves. This is an error.
Scientific investigation has disclosed
the fact that decayed leaves are of
greater fertilizing value than even
manure. In pear leaves the contents
of nitrogen vas 1.S6 per cent; in oak
leaves LIS per cent; in poplar, 0.75
per cent; beech, 0.7S per cent; elm,
0.73 per cent, and in the vine 0.35
per cent. A comparison with leaves
and manure in respect to their fer
tilizing properties disclosed the fol

pear leaves, eighty pounds of .cplar,
ffty-one pounds of peach, eighty-two
pounds of elm and ia pounds of
vine respectively are equal in nitro
gen to 100 pounds of manur A
valuable table might be compiled

Good COlors For Honsoa

1t Is not generally known-not
eve" among painters-why certain
tints and colors wear much better
than others on houses, and the
knowledge Of just what tints are best
to use is, therefore, rather hazy.
One writer on paint, in a recent
book, says that experiments seem to
show that those colors which resist
or turn back the heat rays of the
sun will protect a house better than
those which allow these rays to pass
through the film.
Thus red is e good color because
it turns back, or reflects, the red
rays, and the red rays are the hot
rays.
In general, therefore, the warm
tones are good and the cold tones are
poor, SO far as wear is concerned.
In choosing the color of paint for
your house, select reds, browns.
grays and olives which, considering
the various tones these tints will
produce, will give a wide range from
which to choose.
Avoid the harsh tints, such as cold
yellows (like lemon), cold greens
(like grass green, etc.,, and the
blues.
1t must be understood that no vir-
tue is claimed for tints in themselves,
irrespective of the materials used in
the paint. ANY color will fade, and
the paint will scale off, if adulterated
white lead or canned paint is used,
but If Il is careful to use the best
white lead-some well-known brand
of a reliable manufacturer-and gen
uine linseed oil, the warm tints men
toned above will outwear the same
materials tinted with the cold colors.
