JAIL QUARTERS FOR WOMEN

A long felt want was provided for
in the budget for 1918 by setting aside
q thousand dollars for the building OF
women quarters in the jail, 1t hap
pened number OF times that there
have been both male and female pris-
oners to be confined at the same time.
The present Jail is out of the question
for that and other means have been
employed.
At the meeting Of the board OF
Commissioners yesterday afternoon
they authorized the engineer to pre-
pare plansand spec fcations for jail
for women costing not more than a
thousand dollars. 1t is probable tina,
the Jail will cost considerable less
than that as part of the money
will be required for equipment.

N. E. Wood Invents a Patent
Device For Sugar Bowls For
Restaurant Use.

N. E. Wood has secured this
month a patent for an invention OF
his, handy device on sugar
bowl, intended for use on sugar
bowls in restaurants and cafes.
The patent was applied for in May
1912, and few days ago he re-
ceived notice that it has been
granted.
The device patented Is silvered
top for a sugar bowl which make
the bowl appear something like a
large salt shaker. The bowl is
turned upside down like shaker
and spoonful of sugar, and only
that amount comes out with press
ing the device again. ltis designed
to keep the sugar cleaner in better
condition. BY this means there
will be no chance for contamination
from flies, dirty spoons cannot be
thrust in and the dirt and dust
which inevitably arise have no
chance for entrance in the bowl, as
the silvered top screws on the glass
bowl. A New Jersey firm wishes tc
h We the exclusive right for manu-
featuring the article and an appli-
cation has been made for the
purchase outright OF his foreign
patents.
Mr.. Wood is we'll pleased with
his invention and thinks that it viii
not be long before we see that sor

restaurants. He is able to demon
suate the disability of his littl'
device and it seems to be very
handy.

No Shadow for Ground Hog

Sunday was ground hog day but
in this part of the country the
ground hog did not have a chance
TO see its shadow. 1t will now, so
the old tradition goes, be only a
short time until winter is chased
away by spring and there will be no
danger of six weeks more OF cold
weather. The tradition is that If
the ground hog sees his shadow on
February 2, known as ground hog
day. he will hide himself back In
his hole for the six weeks of winter
that is sure 10 come. But on the
other hand if the day is cloudy and
he does not see his shadow he is
not frightened and sets off for the
fields, sure that winter will last but
a short time longer.
