THE new REST ROOM
IS FORMALLY OPENED
Public Necessity is now Supplied in
This City-ls a Great
Convenience.

The Webster City rest room hel,
its formal opening on Saturday an,
was filled with visitors at man!
times during the day. Not man!
country people visited the rooms bu
over sixty townspeople registered
1t is proposed to have a register il
the rooms in which each visitor i!
supposed to write his name. This
however, is not obligatory.
Perhaps no more cozy rest rooms
may be found in the state than those
now converted into resting rooms in
the basement of the new Richardson
building. There are two rooms OF
size, besides kitchenette and toilet
rooms. The basement floor is of ce-
ment painted a neutral tint, walls
also being painted to correspond
Large windows on the east let in
sunlight and air and wire-glass win
dows on the north admit the north
light. These windows are daintily
curtained in white. A large rug
with several smaller ones cover the
floors. Six or seven easy chairs with
several other straightback chairs
and couch furnish means Of re-
pose in the room. Three tables con-
tain magazines; a new writing desk
stands against the wall on the west
and is to be supplied by stationary
from the printing offices of the city.
A row of sectional bookcases on the
south hold volumes of bound maya
zines which formerly belonged to
the late Annie G. Smith. A fine mir
ror hangs on the west wall between
two doors and was one of the sever
al donations by local business firms.
Embroidered covers are upon the
tables, comfortable pillows made
for use are upon the sanitary couch,
and in the spring an electric fan and
a porcelain drinking fountain will
contribute to the unusual comfort of
this room. One fine engraving hangs
upon the wall, and it is the plan of
the committee to have few more
restful scenes upon the walls. The
overhead heating system keeps the
rooms luxuriously warm.
In the inner room, the only light
admitted is the north light and the
room contains nothing but resting
cots with two cribs furnished with
mattresses, sheets, pillows and blank
cts for the babies.
The little kitchenette will have
an electric hot point attachment and
basins for the heating of milk for
babies or hot water in case of ILL
ness. Back of this little room are
the toilet rooms. Every room IS
equipped with ornamental electrical
fixtures which are in themselves a
decoration.
These rooms are for the comfort
and convenience of every person in
the city, whether shopping or trav-
cling, and will be particularly ap-
preciated by ladies and children
who are transferring from one rail-
road to the other. These people
have heretofore been obliged to sit
in the railroad stations which are
the acme of discomfort and incon-
venience.
On the whole, Webster City now
has one of the finest suites of rest
rooms in the state and the upkeep
and support of the same will be OF
lasting benefit, aside from the ad-
yertisement such a means Of serving
the public always heralds.
Mrs. J. C. Robson has been en-
ployed by the league as matron of
the rooms and will have direct su-
pervision over them.

Although most entrants in the Ben
Franklin Quiz are quite expert at solv-
ing the photographs, another discussion
OF the subject is not amiss. more partic-
ularly so since Poor Richards Almanack
has given rise to a few important
queries.
AS a general rule, study the picto-
graph in its entirety and endeavor TO
get at the big" idea Do not pay un-
due attention TO the little things in the
drawings Several entrants have
evolved answers which are far distant
from the mark simply because they have
based their solutions on insignificant
little details in the drawings.
The Tribune explained some time ago
why the little details OF the drawing
should be quite disregarded. The artist
draws the Photograph according to writ
ten instructions. and these written in
structions embody only the essential
elements OF the drawing. But were he
10 draw only the objects mentioned in
the directions the drawing would be a
queer specimen, indeed. The artist has
TO make finished drawing, and in or
der to do so he supplies little details and
embellshing touches OF his own.
Look for the central theme, and don't
forsake it for a happy thought awak-
ened by some small detail.
Whenever conversation appears in a
Photograph. study it carefully. II will
help you 10 the correct solution in many
instances.
The photographs are in all cases
straightforward. honest representations
Of their respective sayings. This rule,
however, is modified in the following ex-
ceptions, but these are positively the
only exceptions. You will do well to
keep them in mind.
1. The person OF the sub iect Of the

person.
Several sayings are written in the first
person, ~: others are written in the
second person, you" and the rest in the
third person. Persons will not be con-
sIdered or designated I'm the photographs.
2. Application of generalities.
