Calls Shingles a Menace.

The shtngle roof as a fire menace is
attacked in q statement by Insurance
Commissioner Herman L. Extern. Con-
dirions in Milwaukee are especially
condemned. His criticisnA are brought
out as result of a recent statement
by Commissioner James r. Young OF
North Carolina, who reports that the
following cities of the South have re-
Gently passed ordinances for the cIimi-
nation of the single roof: Norfolk and
Richmond. Va; Andrews, Charleston
and Columbia, S. c.. Augusta, Column
bus and Savannah, Ca; Birmingham,
Ala, and New Orleans, La.
These are all large and important
cites" said Mr. Exert. The list is of
interest in view of the fact that the
city Of Milwaukee recently failed to
establish such an ordinance, though
its acres of shingle roofs constitute
menace every bit as serious as that
which caused the Salem fire loss Of
s11.000,000
AS result the property owners Of
Milwaukee are paying the penalty in
high insurance premiums. Property
owners In Milwaukee are paying 30
cents per 800 per year for frame
dwellings, while the rate out In the
state is 35 cents and throughout the
eastern cities it ranges about 20 to rs
cents"

CENTRAL NAPLES

ern appears as we leave the steamer,
but after short pull the little bark is
brought to a point where the rock wall
is darkened.
The small boats are by now clus-
tered at the entrance. One by one
they disappear The ladies of my party
are in one of those ahead and my COM
panion is a German who knows no
English. We manage to extend our
selves in the bottom of the boat, at the
oarsman's command, and draw our
heads below the gunwale. The boat
man grasps a chain and pulls US
through the low opening.
Hurried Trip Through Grotto.
For a moment after entering the
grotto. it seems to be all that the en-
thusiasm of preceding visitors has
painted 1t. The light from the entrance
gives the water marvellous blue toae,
impossible to describe, and the oars
are as of silver. But the boatman
quickly makes the round of the room"
and is soon back Near the opening,
where already dozen other boats are
collected, while more are entering.
The blueness fades as the grotto fills
Away back, opposite the entrance. a
candle is burning, and two youths in
negligee stand specifically on a ledge
waiting to be bargained with for a dive
into the water for a lire. This is
reputed to be a remarkable phenome-
non, the boys body showing silvery in
the refracted light beneath the sur
face. But so quickly are we rowed
around that there is no chance to ne
gotiate for the dive. and almost before
we realize that we have been inside of
the famous "grotto aura" of Capri
we are lying down again in the bottom
of the boat, the oarsman is pulling at
the chain and we have popped out into
the sunlight. Our visit has lasted Just
six minutes.

Penner Salad.

Green peppers suggest themselves
in all sorts of guises in salads. Their
crispness of flavor and their decorative
value give them high value. They
may be used either in shreds or In

They can be used with lettuce alone or

PLANS FOR THE
1914 STATE FAIR
Northern Counties win Aid Wis
ConSin Exhibit.
WILL SEND 10000 PATRONS
New County Building lie Model strue-
ture and Will Be in Readiness for
Exhibits by the Time They
Arrive on Grounds.

Madison.-When the 1914 state fair
opens on September IA, the exhibits
of so or more counties will be found
housed in brand new building, and a
model structure of its kind. Architect
A. c. Clas has completed plans for this
new county building. and it will be in
readiness for the exhibits it will house
by the time the exhibits arrive at the
grounds.
The new county building, through
the efforts of DIR. G. A. Kletzch. one of
the Milwaukee members OF the Wis
consin state board OF agriculture. will
be fianced by business men of Milwau-
kee. Therefore it practically will be
a gift OF business men of Milwaukee
to the state fair.
The new county building practically
is the result of an informal agreement
between the fair board and northern
Wisconsin.
Northern Wisconsin will be strongly
represented by exhibits at the 1914
fair. Representatives of counties in
that section of the state, In meetings
held at Wausau, Amigo and Superior,
assured the fair board that their sec
ton of the state would be adequately
represented at this years fair, IL the
counties could be assured that their
exhibits would be properly housed and
displayed. They were given this as
surance by Doctor Kletzsch and other
of I'D h.
county building comes into existence
In the way Of keeping faith with north
ern Wisconsin.
Northern Wisconsin is keeping
faith with the board, for this section
of the state will be represented as
never before at this years fair 1t
will not only send exhibits, but this
section has assured the board that it
will be represented by not less than
10000 patrons of the fair. Already, ar
engagements have been made for spe-
cial train carrying 500 from Amigo,
and the arrangements for this delega-
ton for hotel accommodations here
also have been completed
Northern Wisconsin has an addition
al reason for taking its present great
interest in the 1914 fair. 1t desires
that its freight. traffic and other bust
ness come and go by way of Milwau-
kee, rather than through Chicago, and
1t believes that Milwaukee will readily
recognize the sincerity of this desire
when 1t sees what gigantic efforts
northern Wisconsin makes to make
this years fair decided success.
And this section is going still far
Their. and in direction Milwaukee will
appreciate.
When the next legislature meets,
members from northern Wisconsin
will demand that the state do it's I'll
duty by the state and provide 8
buildings necessary to house the con-
stantly growing fair.
The 1914 fair, 1t will be found, will
be so important as an exposition of
the resources of the state, and so me-
morable from the point of view OF
number and class of exhibits that it
will be imperative upon the state to
come to the rescue of the Wisconsin
state board Of agriculture and furnish
buildings absolutely necessary.
