State of Kansas Bars Public Towels

Topeka, Kan.--Kansas was the
] first state to abolish the common
drinking cup in hotels. railroad trains
and stations, and In the common
schools. 1t has gone one step farther.
and the common towel will soon dis.
appear from all public places. After
an exhaustive investigation the chem
lists and psychologists of the Kansas
board of health recommended that the
common roller towel be forbidden as
dangerous to the people of the state
and the board adopted the order that
the stif1y starched boarding house
towel be cut up into individual tow
els, and everyone have a clean face
wipe whenever the exigencies of the
occasion demanded facial bath
At meeting Of the board an In
vestigation of the roller towel was
ordered. Towels were collected Id the
hotels and public schools OF several
cities OF the state Railroad trains
were boarded In different lines. and
the roller towels In the wash rooms
conHscated. These we're taken to the
states health laboratories at the state
university and examined.

New York May Establish Tramp Colony

The immense number OF trampS
trespassing on railroads and the IA
talities which overtake many OF them
may be estimated from the fact that
in period Of FIVE years 23,964 tres
passers were killed and 1896 were
injured In the United States while
stealing rides. Most Of them were
tramps and at least one-fifth Of the
accidents took place In this state.
The bill proposes as solution the
establishment OF labor colony. The
latter. briefly. Is state owned colony
for the detention, reformation and in
struction In agriculture and other In
dustrial occupations OF persons COM
mitted by magistrates as Migrants and
tramps.
In Switzerland there is such q col
ony. located at Witzwill, in the canton
of Berne, and It has proved most sue
cessful. Practically all Of the work
is done by the inmates. Not only 10.
agriculture carried on. but other en-
terprises are also conducted. The
buildings OF the institution have been
erected by the inmates and all Of tho
furniture Is made BY them. They
even make wagonc and carriages and
the various tools and appliances used
on the farm.
With the establishment Of such 4
colony the vagrant In New York
would find himself between the horns
Of an uncomfortable dilemma-eith
detention at the farm colony or the

which he now is found most often.
Whatever choice he makes should

WAKING FLOORS BY MOTOR
Strength Has Been introduced
In Berlin, Germany.

New household uses for the electric
motor are being found one by one
This time 1t is machine for waxing
the floor. The apparatus. which has
just been introduced In Berlin. Ger.
many, where 1t was invented, consists
OF an electric motor, the bottom Of
which is formed by strong revolving
brush. The motor is connected with
one OF the electric light sockets; the
chambermaid takes hold OF the han.
die and moves the small motor from
one part of the room to another until
the whole floor is polished. The wax
is. Of course, applied before the pol.
ishing begins. Thus the work can be
done much quicker. more perfectly
and without any effort on the part of
the operator. Every modern fiat in
Berlin is being provided with one OF
these electric floor polishers.
In the old fashioned way the polish.
ing of hardwood floors requires much
labor and strength. for the floor has
to be covered with wax, and this must
be rubbed with brushes until the wood
is as smooth as Ice and shines like
huge mirror.
This work takes up much time and
has to be done quite frequently. In
houses with large rooms 1t is so diffi.
cult that the maid servants often re-
fuse to do 1t and men have had to be
employed for this special purpose.
