been designed for this purpose.
Wherever direct lighting is necessary
the lamps will be surrounded with
dense globes to mellow and soften
the illumination and to save the eyes
from glare.
Many of the larger buildings will
be outlined with large cut-glass jew
els which will catch and reflect the
light in a thousand differently col
ored rays. Large quantities of these
jewels are now being cut abroad for
this pupose These glass jewels will
be hung on little springs so they will
be turned and oscilated with every
passing current of air A row OF
seraphic figures is to surmount the
colonnade about the main court.
Each figure will be fourteen feet
high and crowned with a jeweled
star.
Beams of light from concealed
projectors will play upon those jew
els, causing them to sparkle and scin-
tillate with all the colors of the rain
bow; the effect will be one of con-
slant change and will never grow
tiresome or cease to be source of
attraction.
The outside of the buildings will
be lighted so as to bring out their
perspective and beauty of architec-
ture, and the statuary will not sim
ply show in silhouette but will be
| lighted to give form and life.
The main court of the exposition
will be lighted by two large lumin-
GUS fountains. Dense white glass will
be used in the construction of these
fountains, concealing the lighting
units inside. In the daytime they
will give no suggestion of being
sources of light, but at night, when
the lamps inside are lighted, the
J whole surface of the fountain will
become radiant with diffused light
of sufficient quantity to illuminate
the entire court and surrounding
buildings, with soft, even illumina.

pleasing and effective.
For the general illumination Of
the grounds, lamps will be used thai

beautiful by night as by day ant

THE GUM CHEWING GIRL.

Did you ever notice how really
beautiful gum chewing makes girl
appear? Take her de-facto, and gaz-
ing steadily one cannot find a more
ideal picture. With sharp Click
clack of her white pearly teeth clash
ing together as with cowish glee, she
masticates her cud. Then, too, one
can note her health-tinted well
rounded checks as they grow lit
tie more rotund, thru the material
assistance of big hunk" OF gum
often times passively pulling 1t to
and from her mouth in dainty and
enhancing manner-Ex.

INSTRUCTIONS TO TRUSTEES
GIVEN.

Special rulings from the county at
| torney and instructions to the trus-
tees from Miss Ivy M, Wilson, the
county superintendent, have finally
Strengthened the schools of the coun-
ty out of the puzzling situation they
were in because of the passage of the
batch of new laws by the last leg
islature.
In a general list of instructions,
the county superintendent yesterday
afternoon gave each of the districts
copy of the law, as amended and
told the board of trustees the various
forms of red tape that will have to
be met before the action relative to
annual elections and special tax lev
| les are legal.
Following is the letter to the trus-
tees in full.
Enclosed you will find blanks for
the annual school meeting to be held
on the third Monday of April, which
is April 81 this year: Notices must
be posted 10 days prior to the meet
ting. If you, have more than one
trustee to elect, state in your notice
the number and term of each.
THE twelfth session of the legisla-
ture made number of changes in
the annual meeting; length of term
for schools having less than 20 cen
sus pupils and the amount of gen
eral and special tax for schools and
the manner of voting it. This law
does not become effective until May
7, hence this election will have to
be according to the old law. Notices
of the annual meeting will have to be
published this time in order to make
the levies legal.
Enclosed you will find copy of
section 50 as amended. Under (e)
notice that provision is made for
voting on the amount of money to
be raised by special tax and certify
ing this amount to the clerk of the
board of county commissioners who
will fix the rate of special levy for
the district sufficient to raise the
amount of money voted at the an
nual meeting. This rate is not fixed
by the commissioners until some time
in September when the exact assess
ed valuation of the district has been
determined.
Property is to be assessed at full
| value The law authorizing full val
ue assessment goes into effect at
| once. hence you must fix the rate of
your special tax on this basis. The
same bill provides that the county
commissioners must levy for mills
on each dollar of taxable property.
Our board of county commission
ers has authorized me to write you
that they will make a general levy
for school purposes sufficient to pro-
duce not less than 100000 which is
a little more than was raised this
year. This, with the money from
the state fund, will make the per
capita apportionment for next year.
No district is considered as having
less than 25 census pupils in making
the apportionments.
Districts depending upon special
aid from the state and county fund
must not fail to vote the 5 mills
special tax this levy being required
before relief can be given"

II is recorded of Daniel Webster
that a friend presented him with a

known in the active days of our great
oratorical genius. Webster found it
practical and efficient. But though it

pen to compose with. And yet, a few
years before he had said the same
thing about the fountain pen. Its nov
city. its tricks, its very independence
of the ink well, took his attention
from his story. He could compose
better with a steel pen or the stub of
lead pencil.
1t is probable that when the in
ventor of the art of writing with a
stylus upon waXen tablets introduced
his innovation the poet who had
previously composed his deathless
lyrics with a mall and chisel acknowl-
edged the ease of the new method.
but complained that no good poetry
could ever be composed by its aid.
One needs the fall of the hammer to

and the heaving of it up again to in

when he paused to moisten his hands.
All this leads TO the statement of a
