Want to Ply Lid
Off Barbafy Coast

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 12.-
Frantic efforts are being made here
today. to pry the lid off the Barbary
Coast for 1915. Keepers of the coast
reports Of all sorts don't care q cent
mot now, at any rate-how tight
The Lid is screwed on after the fair
il over but they do SO want to get
the benefit Of that exposition.
Most coasters had looked forward
70 such q rush of business while the
big show was in progress that they
could retire on competencies as soon
~ the gates closed. And then all
ct ,oncs. 20 suddenly that at first
they hardly realized what happened
TO them, down slammed the lid.
II was step taken not exactly in
ths interest Of good morals, though
It pleased the reformers. The police
eommission issued its orders at the
bshsst Of business men who said the
coast would keep more visitors away
from the fair than it would attract.
TAs eoasters-and some Of the busi-
nass nsn agree with them-argue the
esnsrary.

'Grandnla'' SCIlanes
is Laid to Rest

The funeral of the late Grandma
Schalles was held from the Methodist
church this morning at 10 o'clock with
Rev. r. S. Fairchild in charge. Many
people crowded the auditorium almos,
to capacity, and all of the number
came within the bounds of friendship
of the deceased.
The building that had been Mrs
Schalles' church home for 80 years
was a bower of floral decorations
The casket was banked and ladened
with magnificent offerings, in the
form of bouquets and set pieces and
made rich tribute to her memory.
The services were singularly beau
tiful, and characteristic of the one
whose life was so worthy of the
plaudits of her fellow beings. Tso
music, hymns that were favorites of
the one who has passed on, was rem
dered by choir composed of the
Mesdames McEwen and Butler, Miss
Hazel Davies and Mr.. Elmer Peter
son, with Miss Dorothy Davies at the
piano.
In the eloquent funeral sermon de-
livered by Rev. Fairchild, the follow
ing obituary notice was included:
Mrs. Julia Schellhase Schalles was
born in Saxony, Germany, October
I3, 1927. and died in Durango, Colo
'sado, August 8, 19l4, aged IS years,
months and 26 days. Thus while
he Psalmist writes, 1.-THE days Of our
years are three score years and ten,'
ge write today, "The days of her
ears are four score and six years"
She was married to John Schalles
a Germany in the year 1847 and
ame with him to found their home in
his new country in the year 1850,
sitting at Wheeling. West Virginia.
here most vf their children were
torn and there many happy days were
spent. or these children there we're
zen, six of whom survive. The living
are: John of Ignacio, Ed Of Griffith,
harles Of McElmo, Mrs. Margaret
ADAMS and Mrs. Mary Wing of Du-
rango, and Mrs. Julia Couldire Of Az
tee, N. M. All Of these are well known
among you.
Mr.. and Mrs. Schalles came to Du-
range in 1885, where they have since
lived. He passed beyond in 1891, ripe
in years and in character.
Perhaps no one in the community
was better known than Grandma
Schalles, which all have come to call
her. She was known near aod far
for her deeds of kindness ard for
her cheerful disposition. During the
years Of physical strength she was
one of the church's staunchest men,

Before awarding them the laurel

The New System Which Uses the Cell.

The indirect system of lighting was
invented about five years ago by an
Illuminating engineer in Chicago. who,
while experimenting to find some
thing that would diffuse light and yet
keep it away from the eyes, tried turn
ing the shades on his fixtures upside
down. The effect led him to see the
possibilities Of using the ceiling as q
diffuser Of light and resulted in his
working out the indirect method.
In this fixtures Of cup or bowl like
shape are used, hung from the ceiling
by chains or rods. The conta.ner is
entirely Opaque, either of metal or
some metalized substance that pre-
vents any light from coming through
and forces it against the ceiling by
means of powerful refectors with
which the container is lined. In some
types the container has highly glazed
