SACRAMENTO Cal, April Equal
huffrage for women is largely respon-
sible for the marked decrease in the
number of marriage licenses issued
in California during the month of
March, according to County Clerk r..
Pfund.
Nine thousand women registered to
vote in this country last month, but
only fifty-six marriage licenses were
issued here, he said. March was the
dullest month we have had in the
marriage license bureau, and, remem-
ber this is leap year.

New York Sun: Before the banana
reaches the breakfast table or the
hawkers van it may journey 1000
miles and pass through half a dozen
different hands. The consumer isl
generally critical and troubles not at
all about how, when or where the ba-
mana came from so long as it is in
good condition and to his liking.
The shipment of bananas twenty
years ago was a problem the solution
of which the consumer had to pay for,
but now he reaps the profit of expert
ence in transportation. Bananas
shipped to America generally come
from the West Indies, the Central
American republics, Mexico or from
South America, and such great strides
have been made in the methods used
for their shipment that as compared
with the fifty per cent. loss of twenty
years ago from the time the fruit left
the banana groves until it reached the
consumers table the loss is now fig
ured out at half of one per cent. in
a special shipment.
With the growth of the banana traf-
fic the banana boats came into being
and a special line of steamers runs
to the South American ports solely
for the conveyance of the fruit to
Northern shores. Refrigerator steam
ers were built capable of handling
100000 punches of bananas and spe.
cial provisions made for their care
when on board Nowadays in boats
of five and six thousand tons capacity
the facilities for the care of the fruit
are unrivalled, and a banana boat is
unlike any other steamer. In the
holds, instead of having room for
cargo there are partitions extending
from the we'll of the ship to the deck.
Along the beams in each compart-
ment are hundreds of hooks They
are used to sling the punches of ba-
nanas upon, for bananas should not
be shipped with one bunch touching
another.
The fruit is first picked green by
the growers and then brought to the
steamer in boats AS each boatload
is taken aboard the punches are
placed in the refrigerators and slung
on the beam hooks few inches apart
When every compartment is filled, the
steamer proceed on her Journey TIC
every few compartments there is a
man in charge whose duty it is to ex
anime the lunches every day and
see that they do not get overripe dur
ing the voyage. These men have ar
electric lamp and crouching on theil
hands and knees they go from bunch
to bunch, examining each carefully t
see whether there are any signs o
decay. Should a banana bunch SHOW
any tendency to become overripe it il
at once taken down from its hook ant
brought out on deck to be consumes
by the ships passengers or crew o

TIE TURKEY BUzZARD
Is Said to be a Disease Spreader
b. State Officers


DR.. George 4. White, state live
stock inspector, contributes to Az
ricultural Commissioners I. e.
Peck's talks to farmers" this
week an article on the turkey buzz
zard as disease carrier. l)r.
White SAYS:
since the turkey buzzard is
such a menace to the live stock in
dustry of Tennessee ron account
Of being disease carrier it is
we'll that our live stock raisers
have their attention directed to this
bird, particularly its habits and
dangers.
The buzzard IS oneof our larg-
est and most common birds. 1t is
filthy and repulsire on account of
being scayenger. 1t is much
more common in the southern
states chan those to the north
of us.
The buzzard depends for pro
lection entirely upon disagreement
OF the foul earrion upon the in
truder
Since the buzzard feeds upon
the carcasses of animals indiscrim-
inately and are themselves endowed
with natural immunity against
most contagious infectious diseases,
they are now considered carriers
of all animal diseases which are Of
germ origin.
They carry th1 iRfecsioa #
black leg, anthrax, Tuberculosis,
hog cholera, CHAMBERS and many
other diseases from place to place.
This infection is carried upon the
whole surfac9 of their body, es-
pecially on the mouth and feet, as
well as their stomachs. All of the
natural discharges from a buzzard's
body are dssease-laden at all times,
hence it behooyes every owner of
live stock to see that these disease
carrying creatures are not allowed
to light upon their premises.
Aside from public stock Yards,
| consider the turkey buzzard d.
rectly responsible for most of the
outbreaks of hog cholera in Ten
nessee. The law protecting the
buzzard was repealed in 1908
Since that date the buzzard has
had no legal protection in this
state. Any person can Kill a buzz
Yard without violating any state
law. Since that is fact, every
good citizen Should do his part to-
ward exterminating tile buzzard, !
as it IS a menace to the live stock
raising industry in Tennessee, OH
account Of being a spreader Of hog
cholera and many other contagious
infectious diseases. "

THEIR WINTER GARDEN.
How an Old Porch Was Turned Into
q Thing Of Beauty.

From Country Life In America.
II We were to do 1t over again. we could
do 1t better, but even as 1t is our winter
garden Is q Joy and a delight. When we
built it we did not think Of all the things
we wanted, and a good many Of the
things we did think OF we could not af-
ford, but II We could have afforded it and
il we had thought Of 1t we would have
planned our winter garden better and,
above all. larger.
However, this is just what we did. The
floor OF q useless porch was torn up and
good top soil put in to the depth of about
two feet. The porch was inclosed with
glass sash. and heavy canvas shades on
spring rollers covered the inside. to be
pulled down at night for protection from
the cold. These canvas shades are a
great cOnservator Of heat and are strong
ly recommended.
The French doors opened into the din
ing room originally. SO no change had to
be made in that respect, and the work
was done by a local carpenter.
This Is really a winter garden. not
greenhouse or a conservatory. There Is
no artificial heat except on very bitter
snaps when we place an oil stove or two
to take the edge of the cold; the tenn
perature runs from 50 to 65 all winter.
Mainly the winter garden ia full of
evergreens. We plant daffodils and cro-
cuses and get blooms In mid-March. We
winter our bay trees and oleanders here
and some OF our more tender plants. II
we were to do 1t over again we should
either put in q hot-water heater or in
some way connect 1t with the heating
system Of the house. so that we could
really have flowers all winter.
One delightful feature Is fountain,
which tinkles along night and day, sum-
mer and winter. and is q pleasant sound
to hear through the open door OF the
dining room. In summer the sash comes
down and the winter garden then be-
comes charming little summer garden.
We are glad to be able to say We don't
know what our winter garden cost. In
all our home making we felt that II we
kept account Of what cash passed away
from us We might count 1t all up and wish
we had 1t back: 1t takes great genius
to eat his pie and have 1t, too. We have
often heard 1t stated that 1t takes a good
business to make a country place pay /:
experience has demonstrated the truth
of this statement, but we wouldn't care
for q good business II we didn't have a

Progress Of Ventilation.

From the New York Times.
While it will be difficult or impossible
to get any great number of people ex-
cited over. or even interested in, the
question of school ventilation, that will
not be because the question lacks i'm
porfance. but because the Importance, for
various reasons, lacks general realiza-
ton. Perhaps the strongest OF the
reasons lies In the fact that for innumer-
able generations our ancestors. in build
ing their houses. thought first about
safety from outside attack and next and
almost last about warmth. They didn't
want 10 be murdered or robbed, and they
didn't want to freeze. SO they came. not
unnaturally. to think that the house
that best protected them from those mis-
fortunes was a good house.
Unfortunately, the safest and warmest
houses are houses with few openings to
the outer air and with the best facilities
Tor closing those openings during much
OF the day and all of the night. We have
thus developed a federation. OF bad air
and an immunity from its effects that
are from one point of view very precious
possessions Continuous life in the open
at natural temperature is incompatible
with meeting many of civilizations re-
quirements, and the races that must live
so or die are miserable savages and most
of them hopeless prisoners in or near the
tropics.
But even our liberation and Immunity
are not complete, and. however rapidly
we have progressed while spending much
of our time in bad air. we could have
gone much further had we learned how
to ventilate our houses. shops. factories
and most of all our schools. In the lat
ter. indeed, our failure has been most
eonspicuous-with the possible exception
of churches and theaters-and the very
class that suffers most from semi-as-
phyxiation, the children. have to endure
more Of IL than anybody else. From II
they suffer in both mind and body and
in consequence a considerable part--no-
body knows just how much-of the
enormous sums we spend for education
