THE HOUSE OF GOVERNORS

The House of Governors, which meets this week
at Richmond represents a comparatively new and pc
culary interesting movement In the nations polit-
ical life There are divers problems that all
the States alike but with which the Federal
ment cannot safely or rightfully deal The people
commonly recognize the unwisdom Of too frequent
changes in the Constitution and also the perils of
undpIy centralizing power at Washington. Yet,
every State must perceive that there important
tasks which It cannot perform unaided, tasks de-
handing cooperative effort and sympathetic counsel.
1t was to meet this condition that the House Of
Governors was organized four years ago when the
chief executives of thirty different States gath
cred at Washington and held the first conference on
matters which interested their respective common
wealths, but which were without the purview Of
Congress.
The value of the discussions that then took place
were Immediately apparent For one thing the
States were brought into cordial and responsive
relationships 1t discovered in the very outset
that there are scores Of quotations which the
States must act in more or less unison in order that
satisfactory results may follow. Among these are
uniform laws for marriage and divorce, uniform tax
laws direct primaries prison reform and election
reforms contracts pure food regulations and the pro-
lection and development of natural resources.
The House Of Governors has no particular legal
status and no definite authority but its influence in
the way of timely suggestions will prove widely ef
fective and beneficial. The conference at Richmond
this week is the fifth of a SERIES the first two of
which were held at Washington and the others at
Louisville in $780, and at Sprngvale, N J., in 1911.
They are gradually impressing themselves and
more forcibly on the popular mind in time, they
will doubtless become source of wise and fruitful
action.

chairman OF the board of directors Of the
Great Northern Railway. in a magazine
article Just published declares that the
housewives pocketbook is the greatest
factor In our national life. lie contends
that the average wife fails to make the
best use OF her purse. She is tempted by
marked down prices. he says. and is hap

The tendency OF the average woman Is
TO buy everything az cheaply as possible.
That is the worst kind OF economy. 1t is
difficult 10 convince q housewife OF this
fact. but when she once realizes II she Is
ON the true road TO making money. The
same principle that governs transcon-
tinental railway In buying steel rails
ought TO govern the housewife in her pur-
chase OF beefsteak-not how cheap, but
how good.

the life of this nation or in any other
nation" declares Mr.. Hill, than the
pocketbook OF the wife"

the more remote and serious the under

There are three important objects to be
sought in ventilation: First, an abundance
of pure air: second, an outlet for used
air and the products of combustion; third,
the prevention OF crafts or direct currents

ever. arrange his home so tho air inside
the house is as relatively fresh and pure
as the outside air.
The fresh air box OF the furnace should
be screened at it's intake TO prevent the
ingress OF gross dirt and vermin. A cloth
screen interposed will also arrest much
flying organic dust which Is consumed
around the fire box and dffuses a chok-
ing atmosphere through the house. The
intake should be several feet above the
surface of the ground. and no garbage
box drain or vent should be near by The
air should never be taken from the cellar
or redrawn from the house. The air box
should pass along the cellar ceiling and
not be placed under tho cellar floor. where
it is sometimes found TO be INSTRUCTED
with ground water or sewage from brok-
on drains.
Various devices TO be placed in the
upper sash OF windows which admit an
upward draft OF air are successfully
used. The old fashioned method of airing
a room which is in constant use for FIVE
minutes OF each hour is a somewhat dis
turbing but effective method
The point to be remembered and acted
upon is the providing OF a sufficient
amount OF air for each individual. Ven
