IMPROVING COMIC SUPPLEMENT

The distinction of having first
taken up the work for the improve
ment of the comic supplement is
claimed by the League of American
Pen Women, of which Mrs. Josiah
Quincy Kern of Washington is presi-
dent. She is also chairman of the
comic supplement committee for the
Federated Clubs of the District of
Columbia and is a member of the
board of education of Washington.
She wrote and circulated thousands
of copies of the resolutions adopted
by the League of American Pen
Women and hundreds of other clubs
and societies which declare that the
so called colored supplement is a
menace to the culture and morals OF
children, begetting in them an ad-
miration for deceit and cunning,
Misrepresentation and vulgarity, dis
respect for the aged and infirm, a
lack of reverence for sacred things
and of sympathy for the unfortun-
ate, encouraging bad manners, disre-
gard for authority, incorrect Ian
guage, low ideals of literature, dis
torted notions of art, the perpetual
ton of practical jokes, unpatriotic
sentiments and general demoraliza-
ton of character.

SUFFRAGE.

Now a battle is being fought for
the enfranchisement of nearly one
half of the human family, and two
forces are fighting hard. On the one
hand are the conservatives, people
who see great harm to the nation
in the enfranchisement of women,
on the other hand there are the Lib
erals, who look ahead and see a
great moral force that would work
for the good of all and for the uplift
of the race, in this change of the
ballot. The battle that is being
fought over this question may be a
long one but in the end the ballot
will be given to woman when she
will rise to equal power in govern
mental affairs beside her brother OF
the opposite six. Women are natur-
ally the defenders of mortality.
They are stronger in resisting
temptation than the sterner SEX As
home-makers they are opposed to
the interests that are a disgrace to
society. The saloon, the gambling

INCOME TAX AT ONCE.
House Committee Will Act Quickly
After Amendment is Ratified.

Washington, Feb 3.-The practi-
cal certainty that the Constitutional
amendment authorizing Congress to
levy an income tax without regard
to the distribution of population will
be ratified within a week or two is
already having its effect on The fiscal
legislation planned by the House
Ways and Means Committee for the
extra session. 1t now seems likely
that, instead of the Excise Tax bill
reported last year, the committee
will bring in a straight-out income
tax.
This measure will probably be a
levy of something like / per cent. In
bringing the measure forward at the
extra session the Democrats will be
actuated partly by a desire to pre-
vent a deficit from the tariff reduc-
tions that are sure to be voted, and
still more by a desire to carry cut
their old promise for a change in the
manner of collecting the revenues
AS a Senator recently expressed it,
the income tax will be levied, if for
no other cause, for sentimental rea-
sons.

A Lackawanna county representa-
tive will introduce a bill in the Leg
islature calling for the appropriation
of $3.50, 900 from the State treasury
to meet the expense of eXtinguishing
the mine fire that is threatening to
destroy the city of Carbondale. A
serious fire has been raging in the
coal veins under the city for several
years. The owners of the colliery
have exhausted their means in ef-
forts to control the fire and the city
cannot raise enough money to do the
work. 1t is proposed now to confis-
cate the property in the name of the
State, and place it in the hands of
the attorney general, the mining
chief and the health chief, with a
view of protecting the lives and
health of people of Carbondale. 1t
is an emergency measure that ought
to appeal strongly to legislators.
Legal advisers have said that if the
State can condemn the property, the
State can very properly eXpend public
money to eXtinguish the fire. The
Carbondale mine fire belongs in the
category of public disasters, and as
such deserves attention from the
Legislature,-Pittston Gazette.

Love never seems to be so clear
and easy as when the heart is beat

believe in our own power to attain
it.-George Eliot.

.... New Power House
BOARD OF CONTROL AWARDED
W. J. cURREN, VALLEY CITY
AN ADDITIONAL BUILD.
ING CONTRACT

jamestown, N. D., Aug. 23.-In pur-
suance of advertisements for bids, the
state board Of control met at the in.
sane hospital yesterday and opened
proposals for the construction Of the
new boiler house to be erected at the
state hospital grounds The bids were
received as follows: Thomas Powers
of Fargo, $62, 300; Johnston, Fargo,
$60,sss; w. J. Curren, Valley City,
$5s,S21. The contract was let to w.
J. Curren. There will be few modi.
fcations in order to get the work done
within the appropriation. Changes
will be made by emitting certain spe.
cifcations originally intended. The
new power house will be almost twice
as large as the old one, and the walls
will be erected and the building prac-
tically finished without tearing down
the old boiler house. This old build
ing will be retained until the new one
is completed, for use in an emergency.
Work of excavating for the new
reception ward building began this
week in earnest, and the contractor
has secured a number of teams from
AL Jackson, which are now moving
earth. The large amount of earth
to be taken from the basement of the
new building will be used for filling
in and leveling of the grounds around
the building and the top soil or black
earth used in the work Of rounding
of the hillside on the approach to
the asylum grounds.

UNIQUE HOUSES PLANNED.
Group Of Small Homes to Be Erected
in Virginia Highlands.

Plans are now being prepared for an
interesting group Of small bungalows to
be built in Virginia Highlands to fill the
great need for proper homes for the
women in government employ. The
houses will be of the one. two, three and
four room type: all rooms being on the
ground floor. They are designed to re-
duce the drudgery Of, housekeeping to
the minimum intended especially for the
women who are in government employ
during the day time, but who desire con-
venient, attractive suburban homes.
The one-room house. for instance, will
make a singularly complete convenient
home. The room itself is 1Sx2O feet and
serves as a living room with a screened
dining room table in one corner. At one
end three small compartments are made;
one for bath and dressing room with
ample closets and bed alcove, which is
screened by portieres during the day and
a small electric kitchen with pantry
closets.
These model houses will be grouped
around a garden court, which. while CIV
ing near neighbors, will afford privacy.
These little homes are attractive in de-
sign with red roofs and white walls with
gardens and window boxes as decoration
They are of poured cement. The cost
of the smallest house will hardly exceed
$500

HOMES WITHOUT HARDWARE.
Unique Structures Built by Ruth
enian Immigrants.

Some Of the Ruthenian immigrants who
are settling in northern Alberta are in
Producing somewhat novel architectural
methods. says the Southern Architect and
Building News. Their first attempts at
house building are usually of the kind
they had been accustomed to over In Eu-
rope, and their buildings are Of the typi-
cal Ruthenian style-log, pitchroofed,
matched and wide in the caves. In many
cases these buildings are put up without,
a dollars worth of hardware. Even the
door, an affair of slender twigs woven
and laced together, swings on homemade
hinges and is latched with wooden hasp.
The floor is of hewn logs, unnailed.
The roof, as the favorite Russian roof
always is, is wonderful fabric of poles
and cross-poles. through and over which
has been woven wheat straw, ten inches
thick, packed tight and solid, and laid
with such care that it will shed the
weather for twenty years 1t seems al
most q pity to give such ingenious car
penters our modern American tools. but
1t is worth noting that after a year or
two they graduate from these primitive
buildings to more pretentious ones made
after the style that the rest of US favor
