The award was made to Mr.. Ieman,

with the contract.
Professor Vincent was on hand,
and when invited to submit his ..'trou-
bles," he said he had observed that
drainage would be difficult for the
shower baths in the basement of the
new building because the basins were
lower than the sewers. Provision had
been made for the drainage out into
the gravel and unless the drain was
laid right away 1t would conflict with
SOME cement work to be done. His
suggestion was approved. and then he
submitted a plan for reducing the
expense of maintenance of lawn at
the Irving school, keeping just lit
tie less of it in grass at about half
the present cost. This will be acted
upon next spring.
Some bills were passed upon the
adjournment taken.

LIGHTS FOR SICK
 ROOM FROM AUTO

The loss of many lives may be traced to the automobile judging from the many casualties reported in the daily papers, while occasionally one reads of the motor car being in strumental- in the saving of lives. Usually this is done by record break ing runs in which valuable time has been saved.
 pr. T. B. Noble and pr. A. c. Kim berlin, of Indianapolis, two of the most prominent physicians in the middle West. are using their Premier their practice and 1t is believed other physicians in all parts of the country will copy their methods. By the use of an electrical apparatus they pro- vide their own lights for the sick rooms in which they minister to have been provided with perfect light in houses that were deficient in this respect.
 Both Dr. Noble and Dr. Kimberlin drive six-cylinder Premier roadsters both of which are equipped with the sockets, for two lights have been fastened on the dash and to these are attached wires of any length These wires are passed through a window or door into the sick room One of the wires is attached to g globe and shade that fastens around the neck of the physician while the other is attached to hand light sim liar to those used in repairing auto. mobiles and is carried by a unrse o1 an attendant. It is surprising. according to the physicians, how many houses are in adequately lighted. Many. of thu best houses that are lighted by cleo. tricity do not have lights near tn,
 sick bed. The new lightning system is particularly valuable in instance! of this kind and where the lights art poor I0rs Noble and Kimberlin would be pleased to see all physicians use | a lighting system of this kind.

MILLINERY AT THE HORSE SHOW.

Paradise in black. white natural and colors leads for the large flat hat, of which quite few are being shown. Goura is taking the place of aigrettes for the stiffer arrangements and sweeping pheasant tails are be- ing caught against the upturned brim of the cavalier hat.
 It comes. as welcome news that a. number of flower trimmed hats are also being purchased these days the preference being for gardenias, on black velvet or dark colored hats, and for large velvet roses and pop pies Apropos of this, such flowers are used also on evening dresses to quite an extent, one or two roses of exaggerated size being introduced
 reds are the most effective, some of
 these are on the mahogany shades.
 Vivid purple roses are also used and
 lend a stunning splash of color to a
 dark or indefinitely colored gown. Naturally the hat must carry out this keynote of color as much as the accessories, notably the elaborate bags that are now being dangled from exaggeratedly long cords or chains, which are usually of dull gold.
 torial world gold is much in evidence it is either so dull or else yelled with chiffon or net so that the effect is not at all garfsh. As we know, gold lace appears on many lovely hats, particularly those which are fur furs being prepared for wear this Winter are nothing short of gorgeous and will increase the price of milady's wardrobe considerably. for the proper | effect can only be procured by the use of the softest belts. The all-fur | hat is not as smart as in former sea- l sons but there are cunning ways of
 utilizing bands and there are also many fur crowns in the llmel1ght. Moleskin is considered very smart, as 1 is also civet-cat, sealskin, sable, ra- coon. pointed fox and lynx. 1t is a newer idea to have the entire crown l of fur rather than having a band en- circling it or the brim edge bound
 with fur: Of course both these ideas brim, fur crown turban is really
 newer. Such belts as mole, for in- stance. make charming close-fitting l bonnet brims. Mole is used for fur Ysets. for coats and for trimming. as is also tiger skin, which is also effec- tive for millinery.
 During the morning and early aft |l ernoon sessions smart tailored hats
 are in better taste and some exhibi-
 tors wear severe hats in the ring in preference to more elaborately mill iinery. While there are many small
 hats, principally pokes, being order
 ed the preference is for large and not conSpicuously high ones.
 | Black and white hats are very smart The smaller hats are rather
 more gay in coloring, many having rococo and Vatican colorings and highly colored ostrich tips. The lat ter is true of course of some large hats as well. Of the vast amount oi
 ostrich used, the lal ger part is color
 ed; this applies to curled as we'll as to uncurled goods, and it is the latter that trim the greatest number o1 smart hats.-The Millinery Trade Re-
