keokuk Motor Boat Club Wants sew
eral Of these Light Along the
River Front to Guide
Their Boats.
ARE BETTER THAN ARC
Light Shed From Tungsten Would
Not Have Effect Of Binding
One Plotting Boat to
Landing.

At 4 o'clock this afternoon, Messrs.
Meigs, A. G. Decker, Burton Wilkinson
and W. S. Phillips went before the city
councilmen to make application for the
placing OF lights on the river front.
which will assist in the landing OF
launches and boats belonging to the
club and others whose craft use the
river front between johnson and Blon-
deau streets as harbor.
Some time ago the city promised to
place light on the levee, which was
never done, owing to some misunder-
standing on the part of the councilmen
and the alderman whose motion was
made and carried. The light was
placed at the foot of Blondeau Street
hill. where, OH account of the various
buildings and other distractions be-
tween there and the water front the
light which was intended to guide the
launches and skiffs after night. was
shut off.

Want Tungsten Lights.

In the idea of the club members and
those who know most about the land
ing of motor boat. it is the opinion
of all that number of Tungsten
lights placed along the river front be-
tween Main and Blondeau and erected
on poles would give mach more salts
faction than single arc lamp The
light from an arc is binding to those
guiding craft into port at night, and
IS probably worse than nothing at all.
Another feature about the Tungsten
lamps which should appeal in particu-
lar to the city is the fact that three
or four of them would cost less than
one arc lamp.
What action is to be taken in the
matter by the city is not known. but
the feasibility OF the plan of having
lights along the river front, not only
as service to the motor boat club.
but to the city generally. can easil..- be
seen.

Board Takes Favorable Action Upon
Proposal to Install Domestic
Science for the
Pupils.
COMMEMORATE
Branch is One Much Needed-Found
that Scarcity of Help in Homes
Forces Daughters to
Work.

Domestic science is the modern
branch that is to be introduced intc
/ keokuk's public schools. At a meet
Ing OF the school board last evening
Superintendent William Aldrich was
authorized to negotiate for a teacher
IN domestic science and it was resolv.
/ ed by the central board that this
branch be installed in the curriculum.
| When the matter was preached con.
siderable discussion followed. 1t was
said that Keokuk people were de-
manding it in the schools, for the
scarcity of help in the homes requires
wives and daughters to be housekeep-
ers. The branch is deemed of the
greatest value where economy in the
nome is necessary, for it enables one
to get the most value for the least
food cost.
During the discussion unsuccessful
attempts were made to estimate the
number of housewives in Keokuk who
are good cooks, and members of the
board entered into this with consider
'>SAo oieASii'S. IHSil OpiHiOHS ulueI-
ed greatly On the other side there
was brought out the question whether
domestic science could be installed
during the next school year or a year
later, on account of financial condi-
lions. The board will have extraor-
binary expenditures during the coming
year, which will not come year or
two later
But the board finally voted that the
sooner a good thing of this kind was
installed the better and the members
realize that Keokuk people are al
ways willing to pay for really good
thing.
The action last night only went so
far as an investigation of candidates
for the position of teacher and the
cost of installing it in the schools.
But majority of the board favored
its installation at reasonable cost.
The action of the board in this mat
ter is to be highly commended. There
has been gradual leaning to branch
OF this kind for some time, and Keo-
klik is as much in need of it as other
cities of Iowa or the country. No
doubt the news will be warmly well
coined by mothers.
