Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use SO much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear

can be entirely overcome by using De-

CHICAGO, Feb. S.-"The delay of
three years in an ordinary personal in
jury action may be a grave injustice
to a single individual or family, but
an equal delay in bringing to trial the
large number of cases. civil and crimi-
nal arising from a theater fire, which
caused the loss of nearly 600 lives and
shocked the civilized world, sows
broadcast the seed of contempt for law
and gives notice to the world of the
inefficiency of our judicial system"

C. Woodward of the Northwestern Law
school sums up what may be termed
the legal lesson of the Iroquois fire.
The body of Professor Woodward's

Hoping by an amendment to the
state laws to curtail the expenses of
special elections a resolution was in
troduced in the city council yesterday
by Councilman Dromgold, seconded by
Councilman Clampitt.
This resolution, which will reach

solidate special elections for the issu-
ance of bonds, the annexation of terri

cities, towns or municipal corporations
or for any other purpose or purposes
and at such special elections several
objects or subjects may be voted upon
and specified on the same ballot; pro-
vided that such objects or subjects
shall not exceed five in any one cleo
ton.
"And further provided that any such
object or subject may contain two or
more parts or items to be voted upon
separately such as different purposes
for which bonds are to be issued; but
the total numbers of such objects or
subjects and parts of items shall not
exceed twelve"
The council decided to refer the
question to the city attorney. If a re-
port covering the grounds is ready

ed on.

WRAPPED IN GOLD
RY Associated Press.


LONDON, Feb. S.-The Times in its
article telling of the discovery by The
odore Davis at Thebes, Egypt, of the
tomb and mummy of the famous
Egyptian queen, Teie, says the tomb is
a plain, square sepulcher cut out Of
rock.
1t is approached by descent of steps
and adjoins the tomb of Rameses TX.
1t is said part of the tomb was in the
same condition as it was when left by
the priests amid the throes Of a reli-
gious revolution which had spent Its
force before Moses was born.
The tomb bears witness to the blind
rage of the victorious priesthood Of
Thebes. The queens jewelry and trim
kets of sold gold, with which the sep
ulcher was filled, were1eft untouched.
The coffin is a superb example of
jewelry work The wood is entirely COW
