use Better Flectric Lamps.

Superintendent Lynch of the Public
Service Corporation has sent out cir
cular, stating that "The investiga-
tion Of numerous complaints lately in
reference to poor light has shown that
in nearly all cases it has been due to
defective lamps on the customers
premises Our offer to exchange with
out cost all lamps presented at our of
fee has not had the effect desired by
US. We find that lamps are being
used far beyond their useful life. In
many cases until the tilament is brok-
en- or the bulb very badly blackened.
We would like to have all lamps
changed whenever they have been in
use maximum of 800 hours, and in
order to be sure that this is done, we
have decided to periodically renew all
lamps needing renewal by having a
representative of our Company do this
work. 1t is our intention at first to
make a careful inspection of all prem
ises, reporting any defects found in
the equipment and replacing all stand
ard lamps needing renewal"

Chicago, Dec. 24.-While Frank Koe.
foed, a cripple, was serving thirty
day sentence for disorderly conduct he
converted his wooden leg into a slot
machine which upon the deposit of a
nickel yielded forth three collar but
tons. When he was released profits

In the top of the limb is small

it three collar buttons tumble into a

way Of way Of doing police court bust
ness, which has been in force for years
past. There are three cells in the new

necessity of calling a police justice
from bed or his engagements will in
the future be unnecessary and that in
stead there may be regular hours set
for holding court each day, possibly a
session in the morning and another in

are told, it is impossible to have one
man made the justice with salary or
other arrangement than that Of the

might give relief in this direction if

might be willing to take up the work
for the good that can be done, rather
than having the fees or salary as the

TO STRENGTHEN DEFENsEs.
Steps Taken to improve Fortification
on Pacific Coast.


on Pacific Coast.
Washington, Dec. 24.-Steps for the
immediate perfection Of the Pacific
coast defenses were taken at an i'm.
portants conference at the White
House, at which there were present.
in addition to the president, Senator
Flint and other members of the Cali.
fornia delegation and Representative
Humphreys Of Oregon.
The fact that attention is thus early
being directed to Pacific coast de.
lenses is accepted here as practically
assuring the return of most of Ad.
miral Evans ships by way of the Suea
canal. For the ships to return. except
for the moral lesson which their jour.
ney will have taught, would leave the
situation on the Pacific coast precise.
ly as it stood before the ships sailed.
Therefore, to maintain the prestige
that will be gained by the cruise the
Pacific coast ports will be improved
in every possible way. This was the
handspring of the conference.

DAINTY NIGHT ROBE
,FLAkNELETTE GARMENT PRETTY
 AND COMFORTABLE.
Can EasiIy ee Made at Home In ar Attractive Design-comparatIyely
 Little and Inexpensive Ma. < teriaI Called For.

There Is no donbt that the flannel. cite nightgown of the past was rather thing to shudder at from the appear. ance point of view, but now 1t Is . recognized fact that the warmest of stuffs mays be worked up into just as dainty garment as its summer cousin of lawn and lace. The flannel. cite gown Is especially suited for home-making, but the design should be attractive.
 This really pretty gown requires only five yards of material. four yards of insertion and two yards of wide spaced beading, with some soft wash ribbon for the neck. All bulky and fussy decorations are quite out of place in any such gown as this: so that there is entire absence of small delicacies and intricate details in the picture. This lessens the work so that one could make three of these gowns in the space of time 1t would take to manufacture one dainty summer one.
 The insertion is formed into square yoke, both back and front, and from 1t the material hangs with five rather big tucks each side. Straps of the insertion are laid down over the shoulders, with excellent effect, and 1t appears again. as border to the frills on the sleeves There is more skill than appears to the casual glance. in these sleeves, for any gathering or fitness so out of place with flannel, is quite avoided The beading is used to cover where the frill cuff joins the sleeve, also the inside edge of the yoke, where the ribbon runs through and lies in real bow. The same effect is given with the beading on the sleeves.
 Now. allowing for the fact that this is garment especially made for warmth, the pattern will be found to be arranged for the yoke like inser. uon to be laid over the flannel. This method has double advantage, for not only does 1t increase the warmth but 1t makes the width of the trimming used matter of not overwhelming importance. If one fancies, the fan.
