LIGHT is PROBLEM

throughout the country, and the local
officials are keeping In close touch
with every development. Until some
device is invented relief will have to
come through regulation.
From Los Angeles, CAL, comes the
word of a simple solution of the prob
lem. The means consists Of lens
nodded hemispherically and sand
blasted to give frosted appearance
except for a small oval space slightly
below the center, which is left trans
parent When seen from the height OF
the drivers seat the frosted surface is
between the eyes and the filament and
one sees only the diffused circle OF
light and the form of the approaching
car is visible.
The beam of light coming through
the clear oval is centralized on the
road directly and far ahead instead OF
as with the old style fiat glass over a
widening arc. The road is made
brighter by the contrast and the diff
fused light coming through the frosted
surface enables the driver to clearly
see the front of his own car, even in
the face of an approaching binding
searchlight.

FISH SWALLOWS ELIAS ARM
Yes, Up to Elbow, but Nimrods
Dragged Quarter of Mile, Final
ly Lands Prize.

Lexington, Ky.-Elza Mitchell, a.
nephew of w. H. Newman, formerly
president Of the New York Central
railroad, while fishing in Beaver creek
the other day sighted an enormous
catfish under a rock.
Try as he would Eliza could not
tempt the fish to take a chance on a
worm. Finally he knelt and attempted
to seize the fish. The fish liked the
looks of Elias arm and swallowed it
up to the elbow. Eliza closed his fist
so that he had the fish hooked. Then
he tumbled into the water and the
fish started down stream, dragging
Eliza along.
For a quarter of mile the fish
and Eliza churned the water. A drift
log helped Eliza to stop the progress
of the fish. His cries for help brought
Joe Duffy to his assistance. Joe threw
a pillow line to Eliza and he was lowed
to shore, bringing the fish with him.
The catfish was three feet nine
inches in length, and weighed 65
pounds.

Tan an Evidence of Health.

The tanned face is an indication o.
health. If one has failed to acquire
this brown after having spent his va
cation in the open air, exposed to the
sun and wind, then there is some
thing wrong with the health. The
dark fermentation in the skin is the
result of the sun burning the hemo'
globin, or red blood stuff, out of the
tissue units and depositing them in
the upper layers of the skin. The
depth of brown that may be acquired
is the measure of ones vitality, and
failure to acquire good color is
proof that one should look to his
health. During the present summer
vacation season, just keep this in
mind, and note what the index tells
regarding your physical condition.

Capital Authorities Seek to Re-
move Automobile Danger.
New Lens Offers Solution--From Los
Angeles Comes Word That Objec-
ton May Be Removed by
Frosted Belt on Glass

Washington.-War has been de-
clared by the district authorities on
the binding headlights of automobiles
within the city limits. The commits
sioners have instructed Major Sylves-
ter, superintendent of police, to con-
fer with the corporation counsel, and
formulate some regulation of the pres
ent evil. The present traffic regula-
tions do not contain any provision for
the restriction of the use of such head
light which would hold in court OF
law.
Much of the present danger arises
out OF the carelessness of motorists
and pedestrians themselves. Motorists
spinning over the roads in the ada
cent parks and thoroughfares leading
into the city limits needlessly leave
their headlights burn in the adequate
ly lighted sections. Pedestrians
thoughtlessly walk in the middle OF
the road instead of keeping to the
right and to the side of the road
Much of the present danger can be
but the problem of the nonglare head
light is twofold First, the dazzling
rays must be eliminated or the use OF
such lights restricted in some way,
and second, the original illuminating
qualities of the headlight must be con-
served.
Adequate light on the public high
ways is needed today more than ever
before. The heavy black oiled roads
make 1t much more difficult to distin-
guish pedestrians on the highways
than it was in the early days of the
automobile. before the roads were
oiled
Still another factor in the problem
is the quietness of the present-day
motor. 1t is now possible to creep up
within few feet of another car or
pedestrian on the road without them
being aware of the approach of car.
Experiments are being conducted

A ONE-PIECE dress, with skirt
"A having long Russian tunic, is
shown here as an unusually good
model for the slender and immature
figure of the nearly grown girl. This
dress is designed for the corsetless
figure and leaves nothing to be de-
sired as model for the miss who is
finishing her school days. The skirt
Is set on to the hssdice and has high
waist line. The bodice is supported
by a light underwaist and thus the
weight of the garment is hung from
the shoulders as well as the hips.
Firmly woven lightweight serges and
other close weaves are appropriate
for this dress. Supple materials that
fall gracefully are the best choice.
There is an under petticoat. of lin
ing, with wide border of the material
at the bottom. This straight-hanging
skirt is cut to instep length and of
ample width to insure perfect freedom
in walking. The tunic is laid in box
plaits at the sides and back, with a
straight panel at the front. The plaits
are stitched down to the swell of the
hips and fall free from there to the
bottom. The panel is finished with a
row of small covered buttons at each

"At this Depth Mr.. Davis said, "a

Fair Chance of Recovering Valuable
Cargo on Sunken Ship-Services
of Expert Divers. Are Easy

London.-Salvage experts here
agree that there is fair chance of
recovering the million dollars worth
OF silver said to be aboard the sunken
Empress of Ireland. r. H. Davis,
managing director of the salvage
company, called attention to the fol-
lowing successful operations of this
sort:
Four thousand one hundred and
twenty-six bars of silver Of the value
of $2,6S1, 300, 46 boxes Of gold of the
value of 100000 and nine boxes OF
silver of the value of $3.50, total
value of $3.6S7, 750-recovered from

about thirteen fathoms Of water Off

Four hundred and fifty thousand

cred from the wreck of the Alphonso

Crave for Boxing.

1t is curious to see how fashionable
boxing is becoming in Europe. In this
country it is still under a cloud, and
the narrow gulf between boxing and
prizefighting does not avail. Just
what the difference Is nobody has
been able to make very clear, but il
is at least a useful distinction that
boxing is in fashion and prizefighting
is not. France has become infatuated
with "le boxe," while in England a
correspondent of the Times re1oices
that boxing is once more national
game in the land OF it's origin" and
discusses weightily whether women
should attend boxing matches.

Becoming Jewelry.

Always wear jewelry with regard
TO color. Take, for instance. highly
colored gems, such as rubies and sap
phires. They should not be worn with
a shade of red. Soft colors should
always be selected in such cases-tur-
quoises, pearls or diamonds.
The woman with dull eyes must ney-
CT wear diamond earrings, for these
stones will accentuate their dullness
The pearl softens the face more than
any other jewel. Another stone which
is equally becoming Is the opal. A
