VOTES FOR SEWERS
jacksonville Council To Try
A New Plan.

The Council of Madisonville has
decided to put in system, of sani-
tary sewers, says the Hustler. The
plan adopted is that sanitary sewers
be constructed at the cost of the
abutting property owners along the
lines the pipes are laid. This method
of building was provided for by an
act of the legislature a few years
ago. The property holder of each
side of the street pays proportion-
al part and may do so in cash, as we
understand the law or may be paid
for by the city and bonds issued for
ten years and the property owner
may pay the assessment in ten an
nual installments, the city having a
lien on the property for the money
advanced on the bond issue.
The question came to an issue on
a motion to adopt an ordinance pro-
viding for the employment of Alvord
& Burdick, sanitary engineers OF
Chicago, at the price of 5000 to fur
nish the city with adequate plans
for a sanitary sewerage system and
to employ the law firm of Johnson
& Jennings at fee of $500 to have
the legality of the bond issue tested
in the proper legal procedure
through the courts. The c5ns.;:G-
tionality of the act Of the lepisa
ture permitting this system of con,
structing sewers has not been tested
in the courts and il was thought best
to have all questions of that sort set.

at the end of the last century by
Karl Schieldbach and is composed
of about 500 volumes made from

Every volume bears on a tab-not

FOOTBALL And
FIGHTS DENOUNCED
President of Stanford Uni
versity Speaks at
Boston.

Boston, July 7.-Denouncing col
eye football as a combination OF
pure brutality and pugilism that APP
pealed to the love Of the sordid.
David Starr Jordan, president OF
Leland Stanford University, led in
the discussion that followed a re-
pert made Tuesday by the committee
On moral education in public schools
TO the national council of education
of the National Education, Associa-
ton in convention here. He added:
Some day the college presidents
and schools heads of this country
will, perhaps, be called cowardly
and brutal because they did not put
q stop to the dangers of football, a
sport that destroys the best there is
in American youth"
The game, he continued, arouses
the same love of the sordid that
focused the interest of the country
in "a ring away out in far Nevada,
where a black man and a white man
were pounding each other Monday"
NO INTELLIGENCE REQUIRED.
c'No intelligence is required in the
game of football" he asserted.
EBlacksmiths and boilermakers can
play the game as we'll as men of the
finer intellects; in fact, they are con.
sidered the best raw material for
the game"
President Jordan favored the SUBJ
stitution of the English game of
rugby.

Couerinn Books.

To cover paper bound books take
two pieces of cardboard a tiny bit
larger than book. Paste fly leaves
at front and back to cardboard,
which of course is outside. Then
take a strip Of strong cotton cloth /;
paste it down back Of book; have it
wide, so it will cover about one inch
of each piece of cardboard, there
by joining the two pieces together
Now put a cover of brown paper
over all, pasting securely, and your
decorated cover goes over this. The
books may be covered with decorat-
ed silk, pique or duck if you paint
or embroider, but the simplest way
is to cover with tissue paper (not
crape). Paste a pretty card on the
front and after cutting title and
authors name from old cover ar
range them prettily on the new
one.

Sardinia.

That large Italian island Sar-
DINA still belongs to the middle
ages. 1t is hard to believe that
Sardinia, known to the ancient Ro-
mans as the granary of the empire
and its mineral treasure house,
should so recently as 1928 have
been entirely without roads. The
beautiful highways over which, in
Augustin days, golden harvests had
been wheeled to the coast had been
lost since the fall Of the empire.
Even feudalism retained its hold on
the life of the Sardes till 1856.
Pestilence due to neglected soil and
undrained swamps has no doubt
helped to retard the return to civ
ilization of the island which gave
the crown to King Victor's house.

A Cool Soldier.

Remarkable for his self posses
sion even in the most trying mo-
ments of battle was the famous
Marshal MacMahon. One day he
was debating a letter to his secre-
tary in the midst Of an action when
a shell from the enemy's camp fell
directly upon his tent and exploded
within a few feet. Pale with fright,
the secretary sprang up, leaving his
letter.
"What's the matter?' asked the
marshal.
"The shellp gasped the fright
ened subordinate.
"And what has the shell to do
with the letter you are writingY Go
on with your work, sir"

Stevenson's get-up is thus de.
scribed by fellow member Of the
Savile club: "He wore a black fan
mel shirt, with curious knitted tie
twisted in a knot; be had Yelling
ton boots, rather tight dark trou-
sers, a pea jacket and white SOM
brero hat. But the most astonish-
ing item Of all in his costume was
lady's sealskin cape, which he
wore about his shoulders, fastened
at the neck by a fancy brooch,
which also held together bunch of
half dozen daffodils."
Lord Lytton and Dickens prided
themselves on being literary dan
dies, but in the matter of clothes
their light paled before that of Dis
raeli in the days when the novelist
was paramount to the politician.

gold chains that meandered about
his person, his not infrequent at

A Plant Watering Scheme.

Persons engaged in rearing
household plants are often in a
quandary when it is desired to leave
the house temporarily without neg
leeting the plants. An arrange
ment can be readily rugged up SO
that the necessary water will be
supplied to the soil automatically.
Take a bowl of water and raise it
well above the level of the plant to
be watered by means Of box or a
pile of books. Twist several strands
of coumon darning wool together
to form a long thread and soak
them in the water. If one end be
hung over the bowl and the other
end left in the water a steady drip
drip will commence and continue
until the bowl is empty.-London

COLOR BLINDNESS.
Hues Of the Rainbow That Arc Invis-
ible to the Eye.


iues Of the Rainbow That Arc lnvis.
ible to the Eye.
'1f we look at a rainbow or the
solar spectrum produced by a prism
we see the waves arranged in a reg
ular series--red, orange, yellow,
green, blue and violet. We also
know that there are larger waves
below the red and smaller waves
above the violet, but these are in
visible to the eye. Persons possess
ing very acute color perception can
recognize seven colors in the spec
trum," says a writer in the Strand
Magazine, "but l have never met
a person who could see more than
that number. Therefore, though
there are really millions Of waves,
each differing, we can see only six
OF at most seven definite points of
difference.
"Since below the red and above
the violet there are other waves OF
a similar character, but invisible,
we should expect that people would
differ as to the points where they
first recognized color, just as they
differ in their ability to recognize
very low and very high notes.
"This is the case. While one
person will see the whole of the red
Tor the violet in the rainbow, an
other will see only half of it, the re-
mainder being totally invisible. In
other cases the visible spectrum
commences at the orange. A per-
son of this kind will look at red
light which is simply binding in
its. intensity and declare that the
room is absolutely dark.
'The second class of the color
blind are those who see five or less
colors in the spectrum instead of
six. In the first degree Of color
blindness five instead of six distinct
colors are seen, orange having dis
as a definite color. In
the next degree only four colors
are seen, blue being no longer rec
ognized as distinct color. Per
sons included in the above two de-
grees may for all practical purposes
be regarded as normal sighted.
ON the next degree three colors
only are seen. Yellow is not recog-
nized as a definite color. 1t is call
ed greenish red. A person belong
ing to this class Of the color blind
told me that a red clover field in
full blossom had to him an exactly |
similar appearance to the yellow of |
the spectrum.
"The green disappears in the
next degree, only two colors being |
seen in the spectrum, or rainbow.
Less and less difference is seen be-
tween any part of the spectrum in
degrees of color blind
ness until only the ends of the spec
trum are recognized as being differ
ent. Finally the spectrum appears
one uniform color, the individual
being totally color blind"
