The Charity Fund.

: Chairman Allies OF the joint finance
committee in charge of the local charity
funds announces. following q meeting of
that committee, that the Associated
Charities and Citizens Relief Associa-
ton have no choice except to keep be-
fore the public the pressing needs OF
these organizations until the last dollar
required to meet their current budgets
Is raised The amount 30 needed is about
$4,000. II it is not given by individual
voluntary contributions the important su-
pervisory, corrective and preventive
works of the Associated Charities and
the relief Of distress under the auspices
of the relief association must cease. With
this amount in hand the years program
can be carried through and the Districts
organized charities win be assured OF
continuous effective operation.
There Is no particular stress Of weather
to arouse public sympathy for the un.
fortunate poor. When storms come in
. winter it Is possible to raise large
amounts by appealing to the citizens or
the score Of pressing necessities. But
these funds now required for the years
campaign have no reference to the i'm.
mediate succor OF the distressed, but arr
for the purpose Of carrying through edu
cational and preventive works that arr
calculated to render less needful thu
emergency charities. Thus those whs
give to this fund. regardless of weather
or present conditions. are contributing
to the substantial solution of the poverty
problem In the District by helping t
maintain the organizations that ar,
working to this end.
There should never be any question
about sufiiciency Of funds to carr,
these works through the year. To tn,
extent that the treasury Is supplied fol
administration purposes and for the con
duct of the various special works of pre-
avention there will be no occasion FOL

Benches In the House.

The remodeled House OF Representa-
tyes will present strange appearance
when Congress meets on the 1st Of April
in extra session. The removal of the
desks and the substitution Of benches
will not only accommodate the increased
membership more compactly and COM
fortably. but the new arrangement will
probably make for better order and great
er facility OF work than the old plan The
proposal to substitute benches for desks
has been pending for a good many years,
but without gaining sufficient favor for
approval until recently. Possibly the ex-
pertinent will not be satisfactory to the
members Of the House. Yet 1t Is dif1icult
to see wherein the old plan is advan-
tageous over the new. Members Of the
House are no longer dependent upon the
desks in the chamber for the storage OF
possibly needed papers. Time was. before
the erection Of the House Office building,
when comparatively few members had
accommodations 1t the Capitol. Mem
beers Of committees could. Of course, keep
their documents and references In COM
mittee rooms through the courtesy Of the
clerks the chairmen only having indi-
vidual Offices. The new plan gives every
member his own personal onicial apart
ments. within convenient range Of the
House chamber itself. Documents are
needed in the course Of debates by only
a few members. who have suhcien,
warning Of the occasion to provide them
selves with them In advance Of the SEES
sion. Under the new system there will be
space for the storing Of temporarily re-
quired papers beneath the benches to
replace the area-consuming desks, which
are usually Uttered. Whether the new
plan will. make for better order in the
House remains to DO seen. With the
desks removed there will be less reason
for presence on the floor In the absence
of interest in the proeeedinss. and this
should mean that those who are present
will be more attentive to the discussions
and the business Of the House than are
many Of those who now sit In their
places-or other members places-while
the House is in session. II the new
change makes for greater quiet and more
dignity Of procedure 1t will be welcome.

INDIAN NAME FOR WHISKY
Called "Fire Water" Because of Their
Method of Discovering II II
Was Diluted.

When the Hudon's Bay Trading
company began its trading anon the
Indians it was found that by selling
the Indians liquor they could more
easily be induced to trade their pei
tries.
The first whisky or intoxicant of IN
ferior quality was distilled in England
and brought to America in large bar
rels, but in transporting 1t overland
it was found more convenient to
divide 1t into small kegs.
The traders soon became aware of
The fact that by diluting the whisky
with water nor furs could be OBJ
tanned. This was practiced for some
time, but the Indians learned that
good whisky poured on a fire would
cause it to flame up, whereas had the
whisky been diluted the fire would be
quencned. 1t was by this simple ex-
pertinent that the term Are water be-
came a common word among Indians.
a chief who had experienced the
bad effects Of whisky among his peo-
pie said it was most certainly distilled
from the hearts of wildcats and the
tongues of women from the effects
1t produced.-From Bonfort's Spirit

BLACK LETTERS AND WHITE
Former Is Better Because It Can Be
Read at a Greater Distance
Than the Latter.

There is a tendency on the part of
railroads to adopt signs with white
letters on q black background. not
realizing that the black letter on a
white background is easier to read
and can be seen at a greater dis
lance. This follows in an interesting
way from the structure of the retina
Of the eye.
The impression of a letter at the
limit of vision is received ON the
ends OF a small bundle of nerves
which convey to the brain q sort of
mosaic impression. A nerve can
only transmit to the brain informa-
ton as to wether or not a ray of light
is FALLING upon 1t, and when a nerve
is partly in the light and partly In
darkness the sensation is the same
as though all Of 1t was in the light.
It follows, therefore. according to
the Scientific American, that all
nerves on the dividing edge between
any black and white area transmit
the sensation Of light 90 that all
white lines and white areas appear
wider and all black lines and black
areas appear narrower than they real
~ are.
SLACK letters grow thinner at the
hIni OF vision and are still recogniz-
able. while at the same distance
white letters grow thicker and cannot
be- distinguished. There are circum.
stances when it is necessary to use
white letters. but in such cases legi-
bflity will be improved if they are
made with q thin stroke and strong
" lighted. Black letters are more
II made with a heavy stroke.
