They Should Be Attractive a. Well ~

The style and color of awnings
should be studied so that a pleasing ef
feet from II distance will be the result
Of their use Striped awnings are gen.
orally popular. especially those Of green
and blue. with white and bur with red
These stripes are to be found in sew
eral widths. A brown and bun CON-
binatiOn is q wise selection for the
brown bungalow or shingled house in
q rambling style of architecture.
A recent departure which promises
to be more than popular. even though
1t is more expensive. is the plain white
canvas on which the stripe or design
is painted. This style allows chance
for individuality Of taste. When the
design on white or cream is used the
under side is usually painted over with
a restful soft green. Authorities say
that these painted canvas shades last
longer than the ordinary coarsely WOW
en- awnings
In ordering awnings one is apt to de-
eide on a stripe and not designate the
width. If house is Of extensive di
mansions and stands at the end Of a
long avenue. drive or walk and Is well
surrounded with foliage wide stripe
is most effective. while smaller house
with limited approach calls for mar
row stripe or even plain material.
Several new awning devices have
been brought out. One for use with
the easement window which opens out
ward has frame with an extra rib
or rod near the top, which holds the
canvas high and gives freedom to the
window.

known as the Blue Sky Law is evil
IDENTIFY intended to prevent fraud In
the sale Of stocks, bonds, securities
and lands.
The bill is loosely drawn and so am
biguous that it will undoubtedly re-
Quire lengthy and costly litigation to
interpret it.
The prosperity Of this state depends
upon the influx of new capital. Any.
thing tending toward retarding this
progress should be discouraged.
Tho provisions of this bill mani.
testify will prevent the free conduct OF
legitimate business. It provides for
voluminous statements under oath,
both when a corporation is organized
and whenever any securities are Of.
fered by such corporation.
II it only reached the illegitimate or
get.rich-quick and fraudulent concerns.
it would not be Objectionable. but it
assails the honest business as well as
the dishonest.
The vice Of the bill is that it treats
the honest and the dishonest alike.
It would be far better to go at once to
the root Of the matter and prohibit
or penalize to the extent Of imprison-
ment, the exploitation Of dishonest
schemes.
If this "Blue Sky" measure becomes
a law. the development of our re-
sources will be stifled and the growth
of commercial necessities retarded by
driving away investment capital so
urgently and absolutely necessary.
Money for legitimate purposes is none
too easy to secure now, owing to the
constantly increasing fear Of inimical
legislation. II this bill is passed. it
will be still harder for legitimate en-
terprises to procure money for its de-
velopment.

Under this bill, no farmer will be
allowed to work employees more than
eight hours in culttvating the soil or
harvesting crops Of any kind.
The general prosperity of the state
depends upon its agriculture. timber
and fisheries.
These three great industries are the
business backbone of the state.
Farm and fisheries products are
perishable and must be harvested
when nature demands.
Timber operations must be carried
on principally during the summer sea-
son.
II Initiative Bill No. 13 becomes a

be procured?
Every person in the state knows
that the labor supply is insufficient

This bill applies to all classes Of EN-.

er the work be heavy or light, agree

1raxil's Rat Catcher.


In certain parts Of Brazil. where the
climate is intensely hot and the house
cat cannot live. domestic rat catcher
is employed whose presence at first
brings a start Of horror to northern
visitors.
These substitutes for reliable old
tabby are perfectly harmless snakes
and are employed all over Brazil as
the next best thing to our honored
four footed friend.
The reptiles are small boa constric-
tors and sleep in the house, generally
ut the foot of the stairs. When night
comes on they wake from sleep and
silently and swiftly begin their work
of gliding about the house and seek
ing rats.
These snakes are offered for sale in
all the markets of Bahia and bring
from 81 to S.. according to their size.
It is said that they are so easily tanned
that IL removed from one house to an
other they will return almost as in
variably as domesticated cat.

From knowledge caution springs,
And now she hires some portly pearls,
Too fat to wear her things.
