WANT The EMBLEM UNIFORM
Association That 10 Fighting Tubercu-
Iosls Gives Exact Proportions Of
lite Double Red Cross.

A special committee Of the National
Association for the Study AID Proven
ton Of tuberculosis, of which Or.
Henry Barton Jacobs of Baltimore is
chairman, has just announced the ex-
act proportions of the double red
cross, the international tuberculosis
emblem, which have been adopted for
use in the United States. Every or
ganization or institution dealing With
tuberculosis will be urged to use the
emblem in its correct proportions. AL
though the double red cross was adopt
ed for use in the United States in 1906
as the symbol CT the crusade against
tuberculosis, no effort was made to
standardize the shape or proportions,
with the result that hundreds of diff
ferently formed emblems are now be-
ing used In this country. After year
of study of the history and artistic
merits of all of the designs available,
the National association has finally
chosen one In which all of the arms
are pointed, the two cross-arms being
of the same length. The width of the
cross is taken as the unit In determin-
ing the proportions. The length of
the lower left Is seven units, the arms
are three units on either side, the
point above the arms two and one-half
units and the distance between the
arms one and one-half units. These
measurements hold good for any size.

Home Burned.

Friday, of last week, the farm
home of Frank Burchett was entire
ly consumed by fire. Just what the
cause of the fire was they have not
been able to determine, as the sum-
mer kitchen west Of the main build
ing was entirely burned when the
fire was discovered and the west end
of the residence proper was all
ablaze. The women folks succeeded
in saving the piano, some furniture
from the front room and little OF
their clothing.
We understand that there was only
$500 insurance on the building
which will not begin to pay one half
the loss.

tage on his farm as soon as material
could be gotten on the ground.

NEW LAW WILL CURTAIL HUNT
ING.
Youngsters are Not Permitted to Car
~ Firearms.

No boy or girl in Iowa under 4
years of age may carry firearm OF
any description, according to the pro-
vision of the new law that went into
effect July 4. This law, if enforced
will be boon to parents, and will do
away with youngsters below the age
of discretion packing dangerous
weapons and shooting themselves or
some one else
Although explicit in it's provision
the law conflicts with the old law
concerning the granting of hunters
licenses. The gun license law pre-
scribes that the county auditor may
issue a permit to hunt to any one
over = years old, but between the
ages of II and IS the licenses are
granted only upon the consent of the
parents or guardians of the appli-
cants.
This feature of the gun license law
has not been repealed, and probably
the county auditor still has the right
to issue gun licenses to children be-
tween the ages of - and IA. But
even though the youngsters may have
licenses to hunt the new law steps in
and makes the license of no use, for
the new law says:
'Provided, that no person under
IA years of age may carry firearms
OF any description"
The law, although primarily refer
ring -to~the granting of permits tc
buy and sell concealed weapons
makes the above provision without
the use of the word concealed sc
that boy or girl under IA may not
under the law, carry a fire arm Of
any kind, concealed or unconcealed.

PREFERENTIAL VOTING
AND HOW IT WORKS
By Reginal Mott Hull, Cam
bridge, Massachusetts.

Under our present system the
voter can vote but for one man
whatever the number Of good or
bad candidates, and ths chances
are that the undesirable man will
win, because the machine can pre-
vent the scattering Of It's vote
among a lot of nominees whereas,
If the citizens had 4 real Opportu
nifty for free expression a large
majority might have gotten to
gether behini some independent
candidate. For instance, one man
was elected mayor Of Massachu
settes city about u year ago by
1900 votes out Of 700; the 54OO
other votes being divided nearl,
equally among four other candi
dates. The primary partisanesys
TEN to prevent such mishaps has
to choke off, in the interest of ha'
mony, desirable candidates, in or
der no, to risk a party defea'
through a split ticket. Then the
irony of it is that after the citizen
has been deprived of the Opportu
nifty of voting for any but ma
chine candidates, blame for the
failure Cf the present system Ia
attributed to the fact that some
abstain from voting in the final
election!
The present system necess:t ates
the expenditure Of large sums OF
money and u great deal Of time
and energy to be nominated o.
elected. Under the preferential
system no money or time need bt
expended in campaigns. A man
can he elected on his reputation
AZ il shown by the fact that the
president of the Chamber Of Com.
merce was elected to the SpOk aDe
city council during his absence
from the city.
The result of the frat election
in Grand Junction, November 2,
1909, Is given below.
