A New Use for schoolhouses.

The great success of the series of free lectures which are being given in the various public school buildings in Milwaukee by one of the nost noted teachers of cooking in the world is gratifying to those who believe in utilizing the schoolhouses for the bene- fit of all the people.
 The thousands of women and girls who have attended the lectures have nee assarily learned @ great deal that they never knew before about house. keeping. They have heard crisp, prac- tical talks about marketing, about cooking. about Keeping the house clean and healthful and about economy in household management. They have learned things which will help them to achieve someyhat better resu1ts at 8 somewhat smaller outlay of money. They have proited by personal contact with a women who IS mistress Of do- mestic science. Their families will en- ioy better cooking and will gain the advantage of g little saving here and there The city as 8. whole will profit through some Improvement in house hold hygiene.
 The current lectures on cooking, fine expense of which is defrayed by private capital, shows the great demand for one use of the scfloolhous se-that of capable instructions in Household man. agement. Several civic clubs. through the use of school buildings for the pur- pose, are showing what can be done in the way of enlightening fi1e people in regard to public affairs. Next month The Journal proposes, by giving ., se- Ties of ten public moving picture shows of a high order, to demonstrate what can be done in the way of pro vfding wholesome public anus ement in the schooIhouses.-Mil Jour nal

Am Content

In the brief and only statement made by Senator Beveridge concerning his defeat he said: Fortunes of war; it is all right; twelve years of hard work; clean record; I am content" These words of the senator are indicative of his character and show him to be a man who calmly accepts any turn of the wheel of fate. who is a good lsser. who is an apostle of hard work, who Is proud, as he has a right to be, of his record, and, above all, who is with out bitterness in defeat.
 The fight he made was at all tinles 8 fair one; he i1dudged in no personal invective or heated denuncfation: he discussed great issues in a great way; he was good tempered; he was untTfng in his arduous task displaying un- usual physical endurance, and he was tre1n nendously in earnest.

Before Penny Postaue

The revival of the agitation for one cent postage has served to indicate that there is g. more widespread feel ing in favor of a parcels post than for any present change in postage. Later it may prove beneficial to have penny postage, but the matter may be held in abeyance until the revenue of the postal department is on 8 better basis than now.
 There is an urgent necessity for a the public from the exaotions and un- certainties of the express business. It is argued that while the rates would be much lower than those of the ex- press companies they would be high enough to cover the cost of the new service. Moreover, this addition to the activities of the post office department would tend to increase the revenue instead of decreasing it.

WINTER BIRDS
Systematically Fed by Women of Rey'
 holds Bridge.

A Reynolds Bridge correspondent writes:
 A number of women in the village take great pride in their families Of winter birds. making welcome all kinds that feel inclined to enjoy their hosp1- tality. Comparatively few people real ize that by the simple method Of keep ing Q. piece of suet tied up in trees near the house or a quantity Of chan seed placed in some sheltered spot they are contributing much toward the com fort of the cheerful friends of the air. Now that the leaves have fallen. one can see where nests were made during the summer. Many of these birds are the farm and gardeners valuable help CTS, for they destroy the rayages or fruit and vegetables. Many of the beautiful song birds have already gone to warmer climates, but the winter birds have a remarkable instinct which they demonstrate as soon as the snow flakes fall by clustering about these generous food stations. Some people are so thoughtful of the comfort of these birds that they buy food for them and often three or four varieties of the bird family are seen feeding at the same time and place Last winter q variety of a rare snow3ird said to come from the far north visited this section. These birds were very beautiful and should they come again thdS winter will find q cordial welcome. This is the time of the year to encourage these little creatures by providing food and shelter. Many people take a noticeable interest in the squirrel family, pro viding them with grain, and in this way making them domesticated. They frequently build their homes in barns and usually know who their friends are. having 8 way of showing their appreciation of the kindnesses shown them during the winter.

SEW AUTOMOBILE RULES.

The automobile bill which has now
psssed both branches of the Legislature.
and which it is expected the Governor
will sign. contains a number of excel
lent provisions which will doubtless be
appreciated by automohilists and the
general public alike. The speed per-
mitted is atfleast fifteen miles an hour
everywhere except in first class cities,
but nowhere more than thirty miles an
hour. which seem TO us limits suf-
ticiently reasonable to deserve a careful
trial. 1t is difficult to understand how
any one with an ordinary sense of pru-
dence and regard for his s~own welfare.
or any one wishing to ride for plea sure,
could wish TO run a car at more rapid
rate than q mile in two minutes. nor
could it be regarded as an intolerable
hardship if cars in some places were re-
o,1ired TO spend as much as four min
utes in going a mile.
The scheme of graduated fees strong
" commends itself. If the fees are to
be regarded as taxes on the cars, then
surely the more powerful and more
costly cars should be taxed more highly
than others. while If they are to be con-
sidered contributions toward repairing
the damage which the cars do to the
the cars which do the most damage
shall pay the largest contributions. For
cars of not more than % horsepower a
fee of s. year does not seem extor-
tionate and probably will not pay more
than q small fraction of the cost of
repairs to the roads which are made
necessary by the car, while people who
can afford cars of more than 90 horse
power will probably not be put into
financial straits through being required
to pay fees of $50.
The penal features of the measure are
also generally to be approved. The
abominahle conduct of some persons who
have hurried away and abandoned on
lonely roads the victims of their lswless
of succor may have been, is ample cause
for declaring such action a felony, while
it is more lenient than severe to regard
it as merely misdemeanor for a
drunken man to run swift and pom
derous locomotive along q frequented
public highway. If the Governor signs
this bill and it thus becomes law. it is
to be hoped that it will be consistently
and strictly enforced, and that the re-
suit will be radical abatement of some
Of the conditions which now make pub
lie highways unsafe and deprive the
people of the state of the right and
proper use of their own propertv.
