, making the home beautiful and many
homes are spoiled by going into the
extreme with frescoes which ade too
elaborate. The proper kind of wall
paper for a home is a hard thing to
choose and many housewives make the
mistake of hurrying through this task.
The colors and design should be at
tractive as well as the arrangement.
The paper should be in keeping with
the draperies, furniture and rugs.
The easiest way to make sure that
one is selecting the right kind of wall
covering is to take home a roll of the
paper and compare it with the other
decorations in the room. Walls are
now decorated with certOnnes and
ma|~ae, and one can often get pleas
ing effects in these materials. A new
wall covering is jasper, which looks
quite similar to wall paper 1t is very
durable and can be washed easily with
soap and water. One Of the prettiest
patterns of wall paper is a golden

Curtains adjusted to dray half a yard
on the carpet or lap over above have
long been out Of favor with the greater
number of housewives, but they are
still sold in three and three and half
yard lengths. In this way they are
generally cut off, being allowed to drop
only few inches below the edge of
the window. Brussels net curtains are
considered the most durable.

STATE HOLDS A CLUB !
OVER CITY ELECTION
Whether or Not to Build
Sewer and State is SINE
Interested.

WASHINGTON, n. j., July 26.-
With the state holding a club over it
to influence the result, the town of
Washington is today holding a special
election to determine whether the town
shall spend 100000 for the construction
of a sewage disposal plant or not The
the proposition it will at once bring suit
against the town for polluting the
Shappecong creek Individuals who
are guilty will also be sued, according
to a letter recently received by Mayor
Smith from the state board.
Why the state should issue a threat
in advance of the election is the ques-
ton asked on every side. The towns
people say that if the state hoard
wants to sue let it sue in the event of
the improvement being turned down,
but it is overstepping all bounds when
it tries to influence the vote of the citi-
zens in advance. 1t is the greatest
case of coercion on a large scale, say
the prominent men here. that ever vas
the accompaniment of an election
The letter of the state board says
that legal steps against the town and
individuals are deferred because of the
coming election, with the understand
ing that the majority of voters were in
favor of the proposed improvement.

is increasing enormously. 1t will, of
course, not continue at such a rate,
for the increasing scarcity will raise
prices and check consumption. Water
power, too, will largely take it's place.
Petroleum Supply Limited.
With regard to petroleum, the situ-
alton is a good deal more serious. Pc
troleum has been used for less than
so years, and it is estimated that the
supply will last only about 25 or 80
years longer. If production is curtail-
ed and waste stopped it may ;a-t till
the end of the century. The most i'm
portant effects of it's disappearance
will be in the lack of lubricants and
in the loss of illuminants. Animal ard
vegetable oils will not begin to supply
its place. THIS being n case the
reckless exploitation of oil fields and
the consumption of ill 1"r fuel should

The gas supply will last about 25 years
about as long as it has already been
utilized.
Iron is very abundant IN nature, but
usually is found in ores So poor that
able cost. The best ores are being
rapidly worked, and it is estimated
that within 80 years they will have
been exhausted, and that it will be
necessary to resort to ores that can
not now be worked at a profit. This,
of course, means higher prices, unless
new and much cheaper processes shall
have been invented.
Plenty of Gold and Silver.
Gold, silver and zinc are all so album
dant that the supply is likely to last
for centuries. Copper is also album
dant, but is largely in loW-grade ores
which can not now be profitably work.
ed At increased prices, however, the
supply will probably be abundant. For
lead, however, the outlook is much less
favorable It's production in the Unit
ed States is still increasing slightly,
but decreasing everywhere else in the
world, and this despite a marked in
crease in it's price. Probably thej
worlds output has already reached a
maximum and will hencefOrth decline.
The phosphates, it is estimated, will
be exhausted in about 25 years, and
the farmer will then have to look else
where for fertilizers. Fresh supplies
of all these materials may, of course.

GRIDRON ACCIDENTS
BECOMING SCARCER

Serious accidents on the gridiron since
the rules were changed have been Of
rare occurrence. and the mishap that
has probably ended Midshipman Earl
d. Wilson's career on the football cid
is one of the vast that has happened
since the hue and cry was raised about
the brutality Of the sport. 1t is hard
TO say. though, whether the mildly
quarter back would have had one Of
his vertebrae fractured had he been
an experienced player. Most of the
accidents nowadays come TO football
enthusiasts who have not had the right
sort of training
Wilson was a new recruit for the
Navy eleven and it is possible that his
lack of experience was responsible for
his injury. His loss will be felt by
the Annapolis team, for he gave great
promise of being FIRST rate man in
the back field. Although he had prac-
tically no gridiron experience. he was
first class basketball, player. and
that would have been a big help to
the team because of his natural api-
tude in handling the forward pass.
