HOW TO KEEP BEDROOM COOL
Window Boxes Filled With Flowers Do
the Trick.

window Boxes Filled With Flowers Do
the Trick.
People who cannot afford the country
and mountains during the dog days
are often vexed by little troubles with
temperature in the sleeping rooms.
Electric fans will do a good deal, but
one cannot have them all over the
house Awnings help, and so does the
cool white wicker furniture, but to
have truly pleasant and airy sleeping
quarters with imitation whiffs Of coun-
try air one must resort to horticulture
In window boxes and all kinds of fresh
water tactics.
A window box overrun with bright
green creepers and redolent flowers
will not only improve the prospect
from your bedroom window. but the
atmosphere as well. Living plants alb
sorb heat and poisonous gases. and the
aroma of certain flowers has a salutary
influence. Flowers of a heavy, cloy-
ing perfume should be avoided, how
ever, as they stimulate rather than
composed in sleep.

and flowers on the window and bal
cony you may get taste Of the coun-
try in spite of the dusty thoroughfare
and leafess alley below Especially
when YOU vote for the other altera-
tions-such as bare or scantily covered
floors, willow furniture and awnings
summer life in the city may appeal to
you. Your bedroom may be as cool
and breezy as a fresh air camp.
A running faucet or bowl or bottle
of ice water on your table at night
will lower the temperature at least
five degrees. If your room has fairly
large and well screened windows with
transom opposite you can provide for
free circulation of air even on hot
and suItry nights. II you sprinkle
your window boxes copiously it will
have the same cooling effect on the
surrounding air as summer shower.

THUNDERSTORMS.
They Kill Over 800 Persons Year In
Madagascar.

They Kill over oOO PERSONS 4 year IN
Madagascar.
Thunderstorms never occur in the
arctic regions, and even the north of
Scotland very seldom suffers from
such a visitation. The nearer you get
to the equator the more frequent and
severe are the electric manifestations.
In parts of Central Africa the average
of thunderous days rises to the aston
ishing total of $50 per annum.
Yet there are curious exceptions. In
Java and Sumatra, both intensely hot
climates. there are but ninety-two
storms yearly. and in Borneo only
fifty.
The Gold coast of Africa has only
sixty year. which is less than occur
in Florida. though the latter country
is outside the tropics.
In Jamaica there is a thunderstorm
every day during the rainy season,
which lasts for FIVE months. These
storms almost always occur between
midday and 8 in the afternoon.
Perhaps the most astonishing fact
with regard to thunderstorms is that
the island OF Mauritius, which is only
$50 miles east of Madagascar, has. on
an average. only one thunderstorm in
eighty years. Yet In Madagascar the
lightning is more destructive than any
where else In the world. the annual
death roll being over 3O0-Pearson's

Explains His Vetoes.
President Taft publicly explained
today his exercise of the veto power.
In his speech to a great crowd of
farmers ON the state fair grounds
here, he declared that president
who did not use the veto power when
he thought it should be used proved
himself coward.
Some of my friends say said the
president, that If king had used
the veto power as I have his head
would drop in the basket, but I am
not a king and that is very different.
The president has the power and it
is his duty if he does not approve
legislation to veto. He must use the
veto when his conscience tells him,
whether his head drops in the basket
or not. If presidents are men-and
most of them are-they will exercise
the veto when they think they ought

About a year ago Washington society
was startled by the news that Mr..
and Mrs. Thomas Noyes had separated.
They had been considered as among
the most ideally happy young couples
in their set and no hint of the trouble
forecast the actual separation. Mrs.
Noyes has a beautiful voice and has
gained quite a reputation for herself
in society dramatics. Before marriage
she was Miss Dorothy Bride Rogers,
a famous beauty of this city. They
spent much time at the old Maryland
Noyes home and it was from this home
that Mrs. Noyes brought suit for d.
vorce against Mr.. Noyes.
1t was generally understood. that
divorce pact hado been formed as Mr..
Moves did not contest the suit.
Two weeks after the divorce was
granted to Mrs. Moves, society was
thrilled to earn that she had married

Mrs. Noyes Owsley has never return

It is understood she is in Atlantic

Friends of Mr.. Moves marked the

friends he was never quite the same
