Assimilatina By Electricity.

We made the point some months aga
that our electric light companies have
been far behind those of Europe In
making 1t possible for poor people to
get their service. 1t is interesting to
note that the Indiana e. Michigan Elec-
trio company. which operates in South
Bend, Ind, (plows, wagons, sewing
machines). has started a campaign to
do just this thing. About a third Of
the inhabitants Of South Bend are la
borers from Poland. Austria, and the
Balkan countries. whose wages aver
age about $3.50 or SITS per day. The
electric company has figured out plans
whereby houses can be wired at a cost
OF from 50 to SIS each, and lighting
service can be given for a minimum
of 81 per month. A Polish sales agent
has been hired to talk to the newcom-
ers. write advertisements for their pa
pers, and attend to their complaints--
In short, to translate electricity into
Slovak, etc. The men engaged in tho
work are confident of success and are
going after 1t. The effect In giving
these people better ways and stand
ards of living, in getting them a share
In our modern American civilization.
and a feeling that they are so sharing
will necessarily be very great. This n
solid public service, and II Is far bet
ter than any charity. What is being
done on this problem in your town?

BACHELOR MAIDS BY THOUSANDS
Official Table Showing the Decline Of
Matrimony in Massachusetts,.
From the Boston Post
Total .1,s42,1F a,sOO,lss 3,Oos, $50

Bachelor maidens are increasing In
Massachusetts, to an extent which
greatly alarms Charles FELTON, Pidgin.
the head OF the state bureau OF labor
statistics.
His last report shows marriageable-
but unmarried-women by the thou
sands.
Mr. Pidgin doesn't blame the men at
all for this state of things. He takes
1t for granted that all these unattached
representatives OF the feminine gender
have had, o, countless offers.
But they prefer to stay single. Shows
their sense, thinks Mr.. Pidgin.
There certainly has been a startling
increase in the number of unmarried
women during the last ten years." said
he. "a greater increase than among
the married women.
This Is due to more than one cause,
probably, but the greatest is the fact
that women are entering the business
field on an equal basis with men and
therefore not so dependent upon mar
riag1 as q livelihood.
"They can earn as much as men earn
and they very often prefer to work
eight hours a day in an office and be
sure OF a weekly salary than to do
homework at home, keep up the homo
and have half that to live on.
"The American girl is averse to do
ing domestic work Of any kind. She
Is unlike the English girl and the Ger
man girl-any other girl in fact, except
the French. IT,.
"She is distinctly not domesticated
and that in spite OF the inherent idea
that believe Is In every girls mind,
the desire to marry. ....E.
~This independence. which Is becom-
ing more and more prevalent among
women, is the cause of the great In
crease In divorces, too, believe
when women marry and things
don't go smoothly or there is too much
forced economy in the living, then the
woman who has worked for living
remembers her weekly salary and
wishes she could get 1t back-and the
chances are that she does get II back
unless things straighten out pretty
soon. -a
I'm a great many cases a majority
of cases think may say--the woman
would have to confess that when sne
earned her own living she was better
off, and leaving out the issue of lcve
she might wish herself single again.

A Progressive Township.

A remarkable instance of what .
rural township can do is given In an
article just published by the United
States Public Health Service. Cape
Fear township, in New Hanover coun-
ty, North Carolina, started out last
summer on a sanitary campaign under
the combined leadership OF the county
board of health, the state board OF
health and the United States Public
Health Service, in Wilmington, N. G.
AS a result there has been great Inn
provement in sanitary conditions. Ac-
cording TO reports that have just como
in, every schoolhouse and every home
in the township is provided with sani-
tary conveniences. .... ...
IL there is any other rural town
ship In the entire south that can show
a progress equal to this, II ought to
come to the fore and let itself be
known. When a study Of several hun
dred counties shows nearly one-halt
or the farm houses without any sani-
tary conveniences at all. ii Is a matter
OF pride to point TO the achievement OF
township like Cape Fear in New
Hanover county which demonstrates
itself as being so far ahead OF the av-
erage. F H..
While It has been repeatedly claimed
by some public speakers that the south
is making more rapid strides in Inn
proving its sanitation than any other
part of the country, an examination OF
tens of thousands of farm homes In
the South Atlantic states shows that
there are yet many townships where
the sanitary index Is less than on q
scale OF 100.

have given little thought to the beauti-

tory.
1t would be a most admirable AFFAIR
for house party diversion and might
be supplemented by tableaux represent
Ing scenes In colonial and revolutionary
history. A careful perusal OF the lives
OF the celebrities Of the time will give
many q suggestion as to what will be
effective. Washington's FIRST meeting

with the ladies at Valley Forge and at
MorrtStown; scenes In the courtships OF
John Hancock and Alexander. Hamil-
ton, or anything which affords a ro-
mantle picture may be easily arranged
by amateur talent.
The best scenic effects are produced
IL q transparent green screen In
stretched across the front OF the stage.
Cheap green mosquito netting viii give
the touch of vagueness that Is required.
Rose netting will suggest sunset or
sunrise. the blue will throw over the
faces the CHASTITY tinge needed to rep
resent the starving soldiers at Valley
Forge. Colored fires, such as are popu-
lar at Fourth Of July celebrations, will
light the pictures IL nothing better can
be obtained. Care should be taken
that the light falls well on the faces OF
the performers. In most neighborhoods
will be a great deal more effective, al
though they are not absolutely neces-
sary.
The gas should be turned out In the
audience room and every available
light in the house placed to advantage
back Of the stage to illuminate the pic
ture. Care must be taken that these
are not apparent to the gaze of the au-
dience. Tinted shades or light pro-
jected through colored glass will Inn
part any needed tint.
Old brocades are sometimes expen-
sive. For tableaux and even for cos
tune parties handsome cretonnes con-
tanning small patterns may be success
fully substituted. Powdered hair and
powdered faces will not look well with
out q touch of rouge for the cheeks
and a bit of carmine for the lips. Eye
brows and lashes, too, must be toned
UP, or the countenance will present
curiously inane appearance. Whatever
may have been their other virtues, the
fashionable ladies Of we olden time"
