NEW SCHEME
Sprung on Fayette County
Fiscal Court.
Lexington Mayor Wants Money
for City Streets.

Lexington, KY, June 6.-Mayor
John Skain has sprung a new idea
upon the Fiscal Court Of Fayette
county, which may result in the city
receiving the part of the county road
fund to which five of the magisterial
districts are entitled, These five
districts are all in the city, and May
or Skain claims that the city there
fore should receive the part of the
road fund to which these districts
are entitled. From $50, 900 to $780,
900 is appropriated annually by the
Fiscal Court for roads, the law re-
quires that each magisterial district
shall receive a prorata of this fund
in proportion to the assessed valua-
ton of property in each district.
AS five of the eight magisterial
districts are in the city Mayor Skain
contends that the city should receive
its proportion of the road fund,
which would be over $4,000. 1t is
also declared by some of the city
officials that if Mayor Skain's claim
is maintained the city could also re.
cover from the county its share of
the road fund for the past five years.
If the city should secure this share
of the annual road appropriation it
would be of material advantage in
helping to build the streets. The
question is new one, and in the
event Mayor Skain is successful in
his claim it would make precedent
which would probably be promptly
utilized by Louisville, Covington,
and other Kentucky cities. Mayor
Skain sent a communication to the
members of the City Council, bring
ing the question before them and
suggesting that suit might be
brought to determine the issue.

NEW SUPERINTENDENT
Named for the Naval Academy
at Annapolis.

Captain John II. Gibbons, the new
superintendent of the Naval acade-
my at Annapolis, Is a native of Mich.
igan and until his recent appoint
ment to the Annapolis post was a
member of the naval general board,
on duty in Washington. His last
command was the cruiser Charleston,
and he had previously been naval
attache at London. Captain Gibbons
succeeded Captain John M. Bowyer
at Annapolis, who resigned on &C.
count of i'll health, according to the
Official announcement. 1t was stated
that Captain Bowyer's resignation
had nothing to do with the recent
slight to a daughter of Professor
Beers of Yale. She was a guest at
a dance at Annapolis, and an uncom-
plimentary remark was made about
her which threatened to become the
subject of congressional inquiry.
By direction of the secretary of the
navy Captain Bowyer wrote an apoI-
ogy. to Miss Beers. Captain Bowyer
will not leave the navy, but will be
assigned to duties less arduous than
those at Annapolis.

Why Young Wives and Husbands
Often AntagOnize Each

Margaret Z Sangster says, in the
course of an interesting article in
the June Woman's Home Companion:
1.-Two household may stand side by
side on the same street, two families
live within hailing distance of one
another for years in the same COM
munity, and yet have opposite tastes,
sentiments and convictions. The
children of each growing up together
may marry and until they reach the
period of new adjustment, never sus-
pect how ahtagonistic has been their
early training. This is one reason
why the first year of marriage is so
beset with briers and thorns. Every.
body knows that until people act
ually dwell under the same roof they
do not mutually become acquainted.

at house-party does more to pro-
mote intimacy or indifference than

BY DOROTHY DIX.

Hats of, sister suffragists, and let's
give three cheers all together for the
President of Uruguay, who has just ap-
pointed woman to a diplomatic post.
Hip. hip. hurrah! May he live forever,
and hold office until he is tired of it.
and go down in history covered with
glory.
The woman who has been thus honored
and who Is the first to enter the diplo-
matte service of any country in the
world is Miss Clothide Luisi, who holds
& university degree of doctor of laws
and she has been appointed as an at
tache of the Uruguayan Legation at
Brussels, Belgium.
The appointment Of this woman to a
diplomatic post marks an epoch In femi-
nine annals, and yet diplomacy is the
one career In which both nature and
experience have fitted women to shine,
and for which they have served an ar
duous apprenticeship in subtlety and
finesse, and jollying, and backing and
filling. and generally walking on eggs.
She Is Well Trained.
AS a matter of fact. every woman's
entire training. from the cradle to the
grave, is a continual drilling in diplo-
macy. for her comfort and well-being

wheedle advantages out of men that they
have no intention of giving her.
Any woman who has lived in peace
with a cranky and cantankerous man
or who has gotten pin money out OF a
stingy one can show just cause and
reason why she is capable of filling
any place in diplomatic circles that may
happen to be vacant.
When a man acquires the ability to
smile sweetly and affectionately when
he would like to be batting the other
fellow in the eye; when he appears to
back down when he is really advanc-
ing all the time; when he fiatters his
opponent into yielding him what he
wants; when he lays trap so
cunningly that his adversary walks
into 1t without perceiving whittier he
Is going, why, we get out the brass
band and celebrate that mans wonder
full diplomatic genius.
Woman Saves the Day.
But any sort of a little two-by-four
woman is capable OF such diplomatic
coups. And, moreover, she executes
them every day Of her life, or else Reno
would be the largest and most densely
populated city on the face of the earth.
Think you it is a mere matter OF
chance that on the particular day on
which little Mrs. Smith had to ask Mr.
Smith, who is a tightwad, for the money
to pay for her new fall outfit she hap
pened to have all of his favorite dishes
for dinner, and that she did not mention
the matter to him until after he was
gorged to repletion and in a mellow and
melting mood?

Brown always turns the conversation
when 1t approaches certain subjects that

Don't sleep in a closed room.
The lungs utilize all the oxygen

Fresh air is the basic requisite

Within an hour a man consumes
all the oxygen in the average

her egotistic spouse by making him think

AN ODD WORKBASKET
MADE OF OLD HAT

dainty sewing basket and pincushion
can be made from an old straw sailor
hat.
First paint the outside of the hat with
gilt paint and let it dry thoroughly
Now make circular pad stuffed with
bran that will exactly fit the brim Of
the hat. 1t is best to make this over
& foundation of cardboard, covered first
with muslin, then VIII silk
Next line the crown of the hat with
some pretty silk, leaving enough at the
edge to make frilI that can be shirred
all the way around. Then sew the pad
tightly TO the brim at each edge, COW
ering all stitches with a cord matching
the color of the silk or corresponding
with it.
After this is done lay on a second
coat of the gilt paint. Dry, and the
basket Is ready for use. The pad forms
the pincushion and the crown the bas-
ket proper.
