Morrison Farm Celebration Proves an
Artistic Event.
The Fourth OF July observance at the
Morrison farm was filled with pleasing
and interesting features, the success OF
which was little married by the unfayor-
able weather conditions OF the late after.
noon and evening. Had the skies been
less threatening there is no doubt that
there would have been a larger attend
ancc Of visitors to enjoy the variety Of
entertainment.
There was, however, a good,sized gath

In the morning, witnessed with much sat
isfaetion the flag raising in the after

fireworks display OF the evening. 10
all was extended full measure Of hos
pitality, and this was received in the
same spirit OF friendly cordiality.
The Morrison house, cottage and
grounds were decorated with fcstoons
OF flags and tri.colored bunting, together
with japanese lanterns which contribut-
ed TO the attractiveness OF the illpnlina
tion.
The ball game was between the Nor
risonite," made up of employees Of the
farm, and the "Neverquits," composed OF
guests. Both teams marched on the
field, the former wearing an attractive
uniform Of patriotic design in which the
stars and stripes played conspicuous
part. The "Neyerquitsp wore grotesque
costumes and We're headed BY their
general in a Buster Brown outfit and
a read headed eolored man in foot ball
suit. In convenient place on the field
was the tent OF the Red Gross" nurses,
who had no more serious duties than TO
administer encouragement.
The game was well played and there
was sustained interest until the finish.
The 'Neverquits' won, 0 to /. Some ex-
cellent work was done by l. Robinson,

GERMAN OUTDOOR ADVERTISING

In Germany they have arrived at the idea that outdoor advertising should be regulated. This is a prop- osition that all civilized people and governments might heartily indorse. It may be conceded that advertising by signs and bill posting so as to secure public attention is legitimate within reasonable bounds. It does not follow that any one and everyone has the natural right to obtrude his advertise- ment in an offensive manner, to cut off the view of the landscape, to deface natural scenery or vulgarize an other wise beautiful vista. The authorities of Berlin think that advertisers privileges
 do not go that far They believe that whatever right they have to outdoor advertising, they must so exercise that right as not to interfere with the rights, pleasure, convenience and peace of mind of other people. Therefore they must not resort to sprawling, ex- aggerated and unduly obtrusive adver- Using. In the City of Berlin outdoor advertisers are limited to the use of certain pillars erected for that pur- pose. A private corporation controls all outdoor advertising in that city It pays 20 per cent. of it's gross earnings as license tax.-Philadelphia Press.

CURIOUS FOODS IN ITALY.

Huge meaty chestnuts are found everywhere in Italy. Peeled and boiled in reddish broth, seasoned with laur- el leaves and caraway seeds, the nlts are palatable. About two dozen of the large kernels are sold for one penny. In both Genoa and Naples the frig- gitrici are interesting, and some of their specialties are well worth trial if one can forget the unappetizing ap- pearance of cooks and cooking appli- ances. One friggitrice attracts atten- tion to. a tray of golden balls which she piles in pyramid. The golden balls are artichokes. They are boiled in salted water until tender, and are put in pan over steam to keep them, hot until customer appears For threepence the vender will take one from the steaming pan, dry 1t, dip 1t into batter, and pop it into the hot oil A moment later a golden-brown ball, delicious and crispy on the outside and tender and succulent on the inside, is handed to the purchaser. The frying is managed in such way that when the fritters are taken from the kettle they are very hot, but so dry on the outside that they scarcely soil the fin- gers when eaten from the hand. An- other friggitrice speciality is that of cheese balls. They are made of paste filled with grated cheese, and fried. Mashed chestnuts, rice, chopped chick en, and many vegetables are used to vary the filings for the popular fritos. Some of the frying kettles are porta- ble, and the friggitrici have regular routes like the milkmen, where they tap at the basement door, get their orders, take their tiny bellows and blow up the charcoal until it glows. and then cook the breakfast of meat balls or rice cakes or artichokes. which are sent in hot.-Harriet Quimby in Leslie's Weekly

TWELVE GOOD WOMEN AND TRUE

Denver is, appropriately, the first city in the Union to have a lawsuit tried before petit jury composei en- tirely of women, as Denver IS the metropolis of Colorado, a State which permits women to vote, The first jury of women sat through the conflicting testimony of a noteworthy suit and rardered a memorable verdict. It shcElG establish a pre 70 1rrt in such cages. but, alas! with a jury composed of ignorant men the point will be al- ways confused.
 Every woman knows thac wtri. Ter avn dress does not f, it ia the dress makers fault. Every woman also knows that when another woman's dress does not fit the fault is with. her figure The twelve women in the Den yer suit decided, with their ilbo,n knowledge of such lhines. that the dressmaker defendant was not to blame. The dress was all right lrs fit was perfect. Clearly the plaintiffs fig ure vas at fault. How could woman with that figure expest any dress 10 iopk Well OH nef. ItilS WIS ! pOlnt Cn w.:ich the twelve coul9 agr sa amicahls. The erdict would have been the ssmc, .no. if any one of the jury-wemen had been plaintiff and the plaintiff op the Jury.
 To IT ere men this way of getting at verdict by intuition will net seem fair, but what jury of men knows whether or not a woman's dress is a good fit? What lawyer knows? What laws avail in this matter9 The Cclcra- do woman jury, as we have said, has established a precedent which ought to be studied and observed.-New York Times.
