CLOSET FOR FIRE BUCKETS.
Makes Them Accessible and Yet
Not Unsightly.

a very good suggestion recently has
been made for simple fire protection in
homes which is worth adopting, says the
American Carpenter and Builder. Near
the head Of the stairs build a small
closet. containing three shelves, each
eighteen inches square. On these shelves
keep three fire pals painted red. always
filled with water. Mark the door of the
closet neatly. but Enthusiastically So as to
inform the public that they are there.
Fire pals are unsightly, but no house
should be without them.
The little space sacrificed to this pur-
pose would be put to no more important
use Needless to say, the door of this
closet should have no lock and no one
should be permitted to put anything else
in the place.

FOR HOUSE OF LORDS
If Lord Ashbourne Takes Seat in

LONDON. June 16. 1918
The king and queen have reduced
by almost half the number of in
vitations issued for the annual gar
den party at Windsor Castle, which is GUS
tomarily he'd the latter part of June or
the first part of July. A year ago 10000
invitations were issued. This year the
number Is only 900, so several thousand
people will be disappointed in their hopes
of receiving the royal command" The
explanation is that last year there was
too great a crush, and those who did at
tend were Inconvenience.
While the garden party is more demo-
cratic than the usual court affairs, all the
members of parliament, for example. re-
ceiving invitations, the cards of adms-
sion are greatly sought after. 1t was
inaugurated by the late King Edward to
enable him to get into closer touch with
his subjects. OF recent years many for
eigners and colonials have attended the
function, but as the number of tickets
allotted to the embassies likewise has
been reduced this year. many American
and other visitors are among those
doomed to disappointment
Special trains take the guests to Wind
sor. and there royal carriages await the
more distinguished For the rest all
sorts of conveyanceS are requisitioned.
The party is held on the great lawn at the
foot OF the east terrace. Gayly decorated
marques dot the grass, the two royal
tents occupying prominent positions OF
these the Indian Shamiana, rich in beaten
silver and gold and crimson hangings, is
used for reception purposes, while the
other is reserved for the serving of their
majesties' tea. Here the queen entertains
,.l1
friends and prominent personages.
The Prince of Wales, now approaching
his nineteenth birthday, is beginning 10
take his part in occasions of this kind.
and this year he invited a number of his
school friends from Oxford to be present.

Shock for House of Lords.

The house of lords will receive a shock
should the new Lord Ashbourne. formerly
Hon. William Gibson. decide to take his
seat In that chamber. In the first place
he is nationalist and home ruler, and
secondly he invariably wears the national
dress, saffron-colored kits These gar
mentS will be more embarrassing in the
house of lords than Lord Ashbourne :;
nationalism. 1t was not long ago that
an Irishman in kits was refused admis-
sion to the strangers gallery at the house
OF commons, his costume being consider
ed inappropriate.
Lord AShbourne speaks Irish f1uently,
is a frequent contributor to the maya
zines on Irish affairs, and is Altogether an
ardent nationalist. His father, whom he
succeeded. was just as ardent a conserva-
tive.
The liberal government has decided that
a man does his best work when he is in
the forties. At least that is the infer
ence drawn from the appointment of
James Richard Atkin, kings counsel as
an additional judge of the kings bench
division of the high courts.
Mr. Atkin is fOrtysix years of age and
the preferment Of man of those years,
just after England has been in the throes
of discussion as to whether a man does
his best work in middle old age, is
taken as an indication that the govern
ment has decided in favor Of the younger
man. The new judge was called to the
bar twenty-five years ago, and has de-
voted almost his entire time to practice
in commercial cases before the king s
bench division, over which he is now to
preside.
Labor Unrest in Black Country.
Labor unrest prevails throughout the
Black country. that great industrial dis
trict Of which Birmingham is the center
More than 1000 workers, chiefly engage
ed in the tube and boiler trades, have
been out on strike for some time for
shorter hours higher wages and better
conditions generally, and the brickmak-
ers. who have similar grievances, are
threatening to join them. Unless the
matters in dispute are speedily adjusted,
all the Black country soon will be idle.
The men today are organizing marches
throughout the country, inducing workers
who have not yet struck to join them.
The tube and boiler workers complain
that the system of fines and continual
changing deprives them unfairly of a
portion of what they have to work hard
low and conditions unbearable
In the brickmaking trade a great many
girls are engaged. and they also are ask
ing for an increase They want % cents
more q week to bring wages up to $50.
For this they work every week day from
$50 in the morning until o'clock In
the evening" and the work Is SO hard they
declare 1t should be done by men rather
than women.

cobb Is OBSTINATE
In SALARY DEMAND
Says He Takes Chances Which
May End Career

Detroit, Mich, Feb. 19.-Ty Cobb's
brother-in-law, o. A. Lombard, receiy-
ed letter from the famous Tiger hold
out today asserting that Tyrus is IA
earnest about that fifteen-thousand i.
doilars-a-year proposition. He realiz-
es that now or never is the time for
him to obtain large income from
baseball.
He is alive to possibilities-that il
he should sign a three-year contract
now for lower figure than he thinks
he is worth he might be going back
when the time to sign another con-
tract rolled around and he thus would
not have a just claim to a higher sal
airy.
He also takes into consideration that
in the desperate chances he takes on
the diamond he is likely to suffer per-
manent and disabling injury any dav
and end his value as a player.
So he wants to get as much money
out of the game as possible before
such a catastrophe takes place He
thinks that he is entitled to moro
money than any other ball player ever
received because of the fact that he
risks life and limb in chances that 10
other player ever took, even if his
actual value to the club does not war
rant it.
The letter is more significant be-
cause Ty requested that it be withheld
from publication and regarded as con-
fidential. For this very reason, Mr..
Lombard would say little about its
contents. The substance as above out
lined he admitted under questioning.
Ty is not trying to force President Ma
WINS hand. He is simply awaiting the
club owners next move.

Because your case is difficult one,

peerless one. 1t is a record of constant

"FIEND INCARNATEp HENRY WATTERSON
DUBS english MILITANT SUFFRAGETTE
Chevalier Editor of Courier Journal Looses Lively Ian
guage at Practitioner of Sabotage in Cause OF
"VOteS for Women"

The French revolution was the Gull
mination of two centuries of class OPP
preston. Church and state were join
ed in corrupt alliance to maintain the
Right Divine The country was
ruled by kings and the kings were
duled by the courtesans. The combine
of king-craft and priestcraft was
fifty called the Harlotocracy. A crisis
was finally precipitated by national
bankruptcy and general starvation.
If Louis XVI had been an able lib
ertine, like Henri ", he might have
kept his crown upon his head and his
head upon his shoulders. Being a vlr-
tuous fool he lost both. At the outset
craftsmanship had not wholly disap-
peared from France. But, with such
a sovereign and such a system there
could be no real light or leading, and
affairs, going from bad to worse, fell
into universal disintegration,
The bottom of the social fabric
dropped into the cutters, which were
presently to run blood. The roof of the
house or order caved in as if it it had
covered a house of cards. The Reign
OF Debauchery was succeeded by the
Reign of Terror A whole people for
a season were mad.
That We shall never see the like
again-certainly not outside OF
France-has been the opinion Of
thoughtful commentators. Not per-

haps in degree, but, in kind, are not
the conditions made by the War Of
Women in London approaching those
that preceded the Reign of Terror in
Paris? All historic authorities tell
us that in the French orgy of insanity
the women were more savage than the
men. Yet surely Robespierre and
Marat were crazy enough. How is it
with Madame Robespierre Pankhurst
and Madame Marat Drummond in
London? Could any of the women OF
the sansculottes have shown them
selves more bloody-minded? And for
what? For that which, if they got it,
would do such women no good.
Yet one of these fiends incarnate,
disguised as a female, only lately was
in America-was here in Kentucky
feted by many of our otherwise wor-
thy women, who heard and admired
her, swallowed her platitudes and
passed the plate for her. Shame upon
them! When Mrs. Pankhurst has
added murder to her accomplishments
maybe her Kentucky dupes will begin
partially at least, to realize that their
idol has not the excuse of madness
sometimes set up for Robespierre and
Marat to offer for her bloodthirsty pro
ceedings, but that she is a heartlesa
mercenary who has made militancy
pay and grown rich off the frality OF
her hysterical sisters.-Louisyille
