York What construction he win place
upon the new law is not known. 1t
was generally understood during the
preparation of the new law, amending
the act of 1910, that the amendments
were designed to give actual publicity
TO the individual expenses of candi-
dates for the senate or the house OF
represent atives. Much surprise was ex-
pressed when it was realized that the
law was entirely silent on the q1es-
tion of making these private expense
statements public.
The law requires that expenditures

Joker Found In Publicity Law.

Joker Found In Publicity Law.
Primary election expense statements
from Senators Martin and Swanson, of
Virginia, the first filed under the new
publicity law that went into effect on
Aug. 10, reached the Office of Mr.. Ben
nett, the secretary of the senate. In
the absence of Mr. Bennett, his office
force declined to make them public.
Following this declination, fareful
examination of the new publicity law
resulted in the startling disclosure
that in the act, presumed to be most
drastic, there is no requirement for
publicity of the individual sta .ements
filed by candidates for the senate or
the house of representatives.
The law requires the fling of indi-
vidual expense statements and pledges
of appointments, but it is apparently
left to the discretion of the secretary
of the senate or the clerk of the house,
as the case may be, to decide whether
these statements shall be given to the
public.
The publicity law of 1910 requires
that the expenses of campaitn COM
mittees shall be a part OF 6. public

Woman and the Home

A house without a woman in it amounts to very little. 1t may be sojourning place or hermitage, or a makeshift; but it cannot be home. Woman is forever the center of home, and home is forever the center of things. Christianity looks back toward the home at Nazareth, and reverent painters portray the Holy Child, in it's mothers arms for countless shrines to enthrone. National glory rests upon the pillars of the home. Business gathers its millions only to adorn chosen homes in the end; and each toiler at the bottom strives for his dream. too. of a happiness between four walls with wife and child.
 Woman at present. however, is tempted to decentralize herself. The kingdoms of the earth and the glory of them seem to her to be offered for her choice. She desires to work for hire, as men do, and to prove herself in in dustry outside the houses All this Is we'll enough, If she realizes in time that home is better stiH But the modern world is full of decentralized women who either cannot get back to the cen ter of things or have lost the wish to do so. Even if they marry, they do not want to be tied down. to house and children. And 1t is perfectly possible, in the first part of their lives, to re- main out from the center and still find life worth while.
 But after 30 years or so the decen- tralzed woman must lose by it. She is not the soul of anything. She is not vitally necessary anywhere. Her life is essentially shallow. The house without woman in 1.-the woman who is not making a home for others-these mean life without a center, life gone awry. If it cannot be helped it Is sad enough. If it can be helped, it is not the worst and bitterest kind of mistake ?-Har- pers Bazar.

Solves Servant Puzzle

Bringing with her Filipino girl the Baroness Won Groyso, who Is the widow of George s. Wilkins of Phila- delphia has returned from abroad to that city. She believes that she will solve the servant girl question in this country if housewives will follow her example and import Filipino girls to do their domestic work.
 "I believe the American household servant problem can be completely solved by the introduction into this country of Filipino domestic servants" said the baroness today. The one that have brought to this country is worth ten of the ordinary housemaids She is a first class cook and learns what is wanted far plore easily than any girl seeking position in a house. hold today.
 My idea is to form a school ion Filipino children at which they will be taught the simple requirements of being good servants. They are natural cooks both the men and women, and anxious to learn all the new methods. In my plan l have already secured the sup port of several women in New York who are prominent socially"

Science Finds a Poison of
 Sleep

Considerable discussion has arisen in scientific circles over the experiments of NM. Legendre and Pieron in Paris. who have discovered that the real req son why we go to sleep is because our brain has been actually poisoned. Sleep, they declare, Is produced through a morbid change in the cells of the frontal lobe. of the brain. They discovered a dog that died Of insomnia, and injected some of the serum of it's brain into an- other dog, thereby causing 1t to fall into deep sleep from which 1t subse- quently awakened in a perfectly heal thy condition. From this and similar eXperiements they assert that sleep is due to a natural poison. The poison of sleep, they contend, is in fact an anti dote for the poisons that are the by products of every mental and physical action of our lives. and we awake from sleep when 1t was cleansed our higher nervous centers of the poisons that our daily toll has produced.
