GUESSING Contests for Porch Parties.

Guessing Contests for Porch Parties.
Girls who have been to recent after
noon porch parties tell me of these
contests which were used while the
hostess was putting the last finishing
touches to her refreshments. For the
first one cards were passed having
humble bees in water color on the
first page, and the second page re-
vealed the following questions, all TO
be answered by words ending In

l. a sting that cures fatigue; 2, a sting
that cures hunger: 3, a sting that tides
your room; 4, a sting that makes you
laugh g. a sting that cooks your meat;
6. sting unwise people indulge In; 4
a sting that browns your bread: 8. sting
that spols your tools; 8, sting that
makes you read a book through; 10, a
sting that tries; II. a sting that adapts;
IL, a sting that shop-keepers dislike; 13, a
sting we observe in Lent: IA, sting tea
experts do; Is, winter sport

This contest was used at what the
hostess termed IAN informal porch

Place Cards for Engagement An.
nouncement

A young woman used these very
clever cards at the luncheon her moth.
er gave to make known her engage
ment to few favored friends. A web
of delicate silver cord Qike we use
for holiday parcels) was sewed upon
a pink heart-shaped card, wee silver
heart being seemingly caught in its
meshes. The monogram OF the happy
pair was done in silver underneath
the web. After the dessert was
served. stiff white cards seven inches
square were passed with pink pencils
and each guest asked to plan an ideal
house for the couple; these the bride
kept for future reference" A silver
loving cup was passed filled with
claret lemonade and each girl drank
a toast to the new home and its
charming mistress.

Governor Ties RusseIrs Hands.

Gov. Osborn took action at meet
ing with the board of control of Mar
quette state prison to block Warden
Jim Russell from ever beating up any
more prisoners on his own RESPONSE
bility.
The governor suggested to the
board that IL pass a resolution TAX
ing away from the warden the right
to administer any kind OF corporal
punishment through his own and sole
responsibility, the resolution to pro-
vide that If any corporal punishment
is administered 1t must be approved
by the board before it is administered
in each and every particular case.
The board passed the resolution.
This prevents the warden from fog
ging any prisoners simply for per-
sonal spite, or in bad temper. In
the future if the warden wishes to
have prisoner whipped, he will have
to have a meeting Of the board Of
control and have the board by ma
jority vote authorize him to go ahead

City Wages War to Rout Army of Rats

estimate is based on an allowance OF
one ounce OF food for each rodent each
meal
Dogs, ferrets and cats are used in
the war of determination, and although
thousands of rats are slaughtered
daily their number continues to in
crease. This can easily be understood
when it is known that from one pair
of rats to a nest one thousand young
surmulots will breed in a year.
Back of the yards" crowds OF boys
gather nightly to go on hunting expedi-
tions for rodents. Garbage cans are
overturned, and as the rats scamper
away dogs accompanying the boys
catch and kill them.
The boys carry sticks or clubs in
their hands and kill the rats when
they attempt to escape. Many become
so expert at rat catching that in after
years they embark in 1t as profess
sion.
Some of the stores in the loop dis
trict have a pack Of trained fox ter
riers to keep the rats away. but the
animal which has earned the name OF
natures police woman" is the plain
alley cat that stalks the street at
night.
Rats cause heavy losses to business
houses. They burrow through bolts of
cloth to build their nests, destroying
many thousands of dollars worth of
goods.

TROLLEY CAR CRASH.
Two Cars Meet Head-On-Two Are
Dead and 60 Injured.

AS the result of the forgetfulness
of Motorman Frank Woodin, of the
Worthwhile branch of the d. u. r., ac-
cording to the statement made by
the officials of the company, a crash
occurred between two interurban cars
at the junction In Dearborn at 4:30
o'clock Sunday afternoon, as the re-
suit OF which two men were killed
and 60 persons were injured, several
OF them so severely that they may
die.
The collision occurred between the
Worthwhile local car and the Ann Ar
Dor local The Worthwhile car had or
ders to pass the west-bound limited
travelling in two sections. Woodin
held his car in the switch until the
two sections OF the limited passed,
and, so it is declared, answered the
signals indicating that he knew the
local was right behind, but he pulled
out onto the main line just in time
to meet the rapidly approaching local
head-on. The cars telescoped and
piled up in a jumbled mass. Why the
death list was not greater is hard to
figure out. Louis Hamilton, motor
man of the local. shut off power and
then jumped, but he broke his back
in striking the cement road and died
within short time.

The abandonment OF the Joint court
house-clty hall idea by the citizens
who have taken this matter in hand
probably will have the approval OF
all friends of the city hall movement,
The removal of the court house from
its present location would arouse
some strong opposition from citi-
2ens who have built up property in
that vicinity which would be injur-
lousiy affected by such removal,
Moreover, opposition probably would
be encountered in the county. The
city hall proposition has merit
enough to stand on It's own bottom
before the people Of Cairo, and It
could not be handicapped If not de-
feated If Huked with the court house
This 1t not saying that improvements

are not urgently needed, but these
also probably will be voted If the

intense loyalty to Cairo in the state

merchants cannot compete with

kept in ignorance of the bargains
offered by these houses from time to

where 1t had the strongest right TO
expect appreciation, and II will
henceforth look TO its own interests
first. regardless of the opinions and

have decided to break their written
contracts with this paper The Bulle-
