Lansing.-Gov. Warmers stand in
opposition to the Davis bill, exempt
ing all credits from taxation, which
would abolish the mortgage tax law,
is causing the members of the Detroit
Real Estate board considerable anx-
iety and delegation from the board

the matter with the states chief
executive. Gov. Warner told me per.
sonally that he will veto the bill II

M. Grlndley. He seems determined
that the mortgage tax law shall not
be abolished il he can help it," All
reports are that the measure is re-
ceiving general approval of the mem
bers of both the house and senate,
and that IL will be carried in both
branches OF the legislature seems GER
tain. The possibility OF being able
to pass il over the governors veto is
another matter, however. The work
of the special committee, in showing
the legislature what a great handi.
cap the mortgage tax law is on build.
ing improvements throughout the
state, leads some Of the members to
believe that perhaps the governor
might be converted with little mis-.
sionary work. Representative Will
liam T. Dusts determined stand in
favor Of abolishing the mortgage tax
law. based upon his long experience
as member of the state tax commits
sion and OF the Detroit city board OF
assessors, is one of the strongest ar
guments of the real estate men for
the passage of the Davis bill Hun

Representative Dust says. would be
benefited to the extent that many of
them, who cannot now borrow money
with which TO build additions and
make improvements. would be able to
get all the funds needed. The former
tax commissioner also makes the
point that thousands of working men
who cannot obtain money to build
themselves homes without paying
eXorbitant interest would be given
better chance by taking the tax off
from mortgages.

Pretty Shadow Work.

Sofa pillows. bureau covers, mou.
choir cases, pin cushion tops and glove
cases all are quickly and effectively
done in shadow work, often the whole
set being made to match. A very at
tractive set of this kind has a butter
fly design, three large ones on the pill
low and flight OF butterflies on small.
or pieces. The material is a sheer
lawn. The pillow has three large but
terfies-one blue, one pink and the
other yellowstone in shadow stitch.
Certain spots and markings on the
wings are outlined on the outside in
contrasting colors, while the body and
feelers are outlined in black. Glass
beads in black. white and opalescent
tints to match the color of the butter
fly are used very freely on the right
side with brilliant effect. The flights
OF butterflies on the other pieces are
worked in the same delicate tints,
charmingly combined. The beadwork
is, if anything. more beautiful in the
smaller design.

How 70 Clean Leather.

To clean leather upholstery wash
the leather with warm water to which
is added little good vinegar. Use
an absolutely clean sponge. Wipe
dry with soft. clean cloths. To re-.
store the polish, prepare the whites
of two or three eggs with a teaspoon
full of turpentine TO each egg. This
should be whisked briskly, then rub
bed into the dry leather with a piece
OF clean flannel and dried off with a
piece of clean linen cloth.

Will Push the Lord Bill.


The decision of Judge Knappen, of
Grand Rapids, in enioining the Calu-
met & Hecla from voting it's stock
and proxies in the Osceola Consoli-
dated Mining company. will probably
bring forward for quick passage the
Lord bill, repeating the Galbraith
stock purchase act of 1905. The de-
cision of Judge Knappen in a sense
disposes of the danger in the Gal
braith law by practically multiplying it,.
That is. Judge Knappen's decision de-
clares the Sherman law. as a national
law, prevails over any "trust-making"
possibilities in the Galbraith law. But
formal enactment, repeating the Gal
braith law and prohibiting all stock
purchases of like nature by corpora
tions, is demanded. that nothing in
Michigan legislation may seem to
contravene the law of the land. Judge
Knappen's decision disposes finally. it
is believed here, of any traction
trust" operations in Michigan, and the
Cady bill legalizing electric combines
is impossible under this decision. OF
course, all this depends on whether
Judge Knappen is upheld by the Unit
ed States court of appeals. The legis-
lature will adjourn before that. and
the plan is therefore to push the Lord
bill.

Coffee as a pisinfeetant.

Many experiments with coffee have
proved it to be an excellent disinfect-

the purpose is to dry the raw bean

~ heated iron plate. until 1t assumes
a dark brown tint when il is fit for

After sIeepina Car companies.

Representative Miller has introduce
ed bill to change the system of tax
ing sleeping car companies. The Pull
man company is now taxed on the ad
valorem system, the same as other
property in the state and its property
is valued at S450,000 for that purpose.
The company claims that this is too
high, but Miller does not think it is
enough and believes that more &C
curate schedule of the amount earned
by the company from Michigan BUSH
ness can be arrived at by taxing the
company on its contracts with the
various railroads, forcing the COM
pany TO file copies of these contracts
with the state tax commission, so
that the state may know just how
much it earns every year. There is
no likelihood that the company will
stand to have it's earnings divulged.

Fight Commission Plan.

The next railroad fight on the legis-

create railroad commission of three
members. authorized generally 10 fix
rates. Senator Kinnane introduced
the bill drafted by Attorney Smith,
some time ago, but Railroad Commits
sioner Glasgow has been engaged in
drafting a substitute measure based
on a careful study of the laws OF
other states. Among other things,
the bin will provide a plan for the
interchange OF freight between steam
and electric zines. which the steam
roads are opposed TO, but which the
electrics are clamoring for. 1t may
as well be said plainly that the rail-
roads fear commission at this time,
apprehending that the members would
feel compelled TO earn their salaries
by drastic and anti-railroad regula-
lions. Several railroad officials,
while refusing to speak for publica-
ton, have so expressed themselves

A Popcorn Party For Children.

A correspondent In Mothers Maya
zine tells of a popcorn party recently
given for children and described 1t so
delightfully."- that 1t seems almost a
crime that every little boy and girl
cannot enjoy the pleasure of such a
good time.
"a kitchen party" it said in the
notes of invitation, and bring an
apron with you
The kitchen was large and roomy
and was decorated, IN keeping with the
bccaSi0n. with colored tissue
paper ornaments and festoons of pop
corn Strings of colored popcorn fes-
tooned the chandelier over the dining
room table, and the candlelights had
pink crepe paper shades ornamented
with strings OF popcorn, all of the
same length, that hung down from the
top of the shade all around two inches
below, as a fringe of beads or crystals
would do.
Pretty little souvenirs and decora-
tions on the table were made of pop
corn that the hostess had prepared as
small baskets, with ribbon wound wire
handles, decorated with ribbon bow
or autumn leaf A little ship stood as
a centerpiece ON a glass mirror, with
a shore of popcorn The boat shape,
made of stiff paper, was entirely COW
cred with white popcorn. 1t had white
sails, and the mainmast was also coat
ed with kernels Of the popped corn.
The boat was filed with a cargo of
nuts and the little baskets with bon
bons.
Jolly souvenirs for each place had
been made of orange skins, the skins
being divided halfway in four sections,
when the pulp was neatly removed
whole. Flaky popcorn was dropped In,
then the sections pressed together with
adorned the top. Circles We're cut out
and popped corn set in for eyes, hav-
Ing the smoothest part turned out, with
a dab of black paint for the pupil Of
the eyes, another for the nose, and the
slit for the grinnlng mouth was filed
In with cleaning teeth A double frill
Of yellow and black tissue paper was
glued In place under each.
The little guests came in time to help
prepare some Of the supper refresh
ments in the popcorn line. The boys
were given the hardest part of the
work-shelling the corn-while the
girls, two at time, could pop the corn
on the ample space the range afforded.
AS fast as this was ready the hostess
prepared 1t In an appetizing form, as
molasses popcorn balls, assorted pop
corn bars and popcorn potatoes. AS
these are a decided novelty for chill
dren, the process of their making
should be explained. Beat up the
white of an egg stiffiy with a table
spoon of cold water and the same
quantity Of powdered sugar. Mix with
the popcorn and molasses and roll into
ball.

A Philadelphia builder, whose
