Attractive Street Lamps

An effective street lighting system is as es-
sential to the comfort Of city light is to a
family in the home. Where highways are strung
with dim lamps few and far between, it is not
safe for women and children to be abroad at
night Bicyclers and automobiles are equally
endangered when the streets are tunnels of dark
ness. Pedestrians are obliged to feel their way
along in order to avoid falling or running into
the street which makes walking abroad an un-
pleasant and hazardous adventure
For these unitarian reasons alone it is OF
the utmost Importance that Richmonds new
lighting system be well planned and effective
But there is also the question of beauty to be
taken into consideration. And this means not
only that the streets at night should be attract
i've, but that the fixtures should not insult the
eye by day.
Quite a number have expressed themselves
as believing the plan to bracket the new lamps
to poles will do that very thing. Few families
would be content any more to have their lamps
swing from old fashioned wall brackets: why
should the city want to do this with its public
lamps? The money saving in fastening lamps to
poles is an item but the new lighting system will
be long time with us and years of satisfaction
are worth something.
Under some conditions, fastening lamps to

A Vacation

In the old days our fathers felt no need for
period Of rest in summer. The idea of quitting
their labors in hot weather and leaving for the
seashore or the woods would have struck them
as ridiculous. And for good reason. They had
the woods always with them. great majority
lived in the country and those who lived in town
were in stones throw of the open fields. They
already possessed what the vacationist goes to
seek.
More than this, our fathers enjoyed variety
of work. One time it was blowing: another
wood-chopping: again road building: or
house painting, or what not. If they grew tired,
it was an easy thing to stop for rest, to go
hunting or shooting for half day to relieve the
tension.
We live in an entirely different world. A
great majority of work indoors, chained to a
desk, counter, factory bench. Our
work is usually pitched at high tension to
meet the strained competitive condition of the
times. Our play-tine is after supper when it is
too dark to go out doors So that most of our
amusements consist of sitting still while some
professional entertainer tickles our tired appe-
ttes.
Under such conditions vacation is a necessi-
ty. The body needs relief, the brain needs rest
and the whole constitution demands chance to
throw off the toxins of fatigue. If you feel you
cant afford to take vacations" consider this
no vacation now may mean all vacation after a
while.

Genius of Soda Fountain
Makes Good Press Agent

Driven by pain Noah Webster does
a flip-flop in his grave everytime a
Richmond soda fountain custodian in
vents a new soft drink.
Concocters and distributors of fizz
water and sundates during the sum-
mer months are generally high school
boys who have a slight knowledge of
Webster's masterpiece-just enough
to make them extremely dangerous to
the English language. The qualities
which must inhabit the personality of
one of these chaps are the genius Of
an inventor, the imagination of poet
and the disregard of the truth which
characterizes the press agent.
When the soda mixer feels an ex-
panding warm spot in the neighbor-
hood of his heart and finds it i'm
possible to fix his eyes on anything
worldly, he knows he is going into a
trance, the result of which will be a
new dish-calculated to separate
dreamy-eyed maidens from papa's
loose change.
Here is where the genius comes in
With an indiscrimimnate disregard fol
the finer shades of meaning, the soda
boy throws together combination Of
words which he inflicts upon mix
ture of ice creams and sirups. What
names they are! They promise every
thing from gardens of Persian roses
surrounded by trees bearing delicious
fruits to trip through dreamland.
These attractive names tempt the
prospective purchaser to skip the five

Main street of city of Richmond's size it is not
suitable. Something more permanent and more
in keeping with the dignity of the community is
needed It is to be hoped the officials will not
jeopardize the appearances of our principal big

dollars invested in lamps, attractive by day as
well as effective by night, will be more economi-
cal in the long run.

CLIFF WALKER MADE
STRONG RACE FOR OFFICE

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 15.-Statisticians
going over the figures in the late la
mented campaign have been struck by
the excellent race made by Clifford
Walker for attorney general. They
knew that he had been elected, but the
figures were overlooked in the mad
counting and recounting in the junior
senate race.
Mr.. Walker carried 100 counties and
~Grice %. The ELECTORAL, or convention,
vote was, Walker 306; Grice 66. The
total popular vote was, Walker 1870, 1856,
Grice, 1855, majority for Walker of
6O,S11.
Mr. Walker is receiving many con-
CALCULATIONS on the excellent race he
made in his first campaign before the
people.

market reacted a little, then rose as

Corn assembled with wheat. The
opening, a shade lower to IL cent ad-
vance, was followed by an all around
gain of more than cent.
Active export demand lifted oats.
Grain strength carried provisions
higher.
Reports of fresh defeats of the
Germans later brought about radi-
cal setback in wheat, which went

covered and closed strong, 3-S to

New York, Sept. 15.-Mrs. Anna
Gibbs, of Berkeley, Cal, who arrived
here yesterday on the Campania from
England, relates how she lost two of
her children as the result of exposure
on their frequently interrupted jour-
ney to England by way of Stockholm.
Mrs. Gibbs returned with her 3-year-
old child. She went to Russia with
her three children early in the sum-
mer. One died of fever and another
of pneumonia.
Mrs. Gibbs on August 2, while III
Russia, started on a walk with her
children toward the town of wilma.
She found herself in the midst of Rus
sian soldiers between whom and the
Germans battle was raging.
"The soldiers were very kind" said
Mrs. Gibbs. "They seized the three
children from me and carried them in
to the trenches, as the shells were
shrieking in the air above US. A SER
geant told me we should all be killed
in another minute if we went on.
81 spent the night lying in the
trenches with my children. The day
before l had noticed that Curtis had
a little fever, but l did not think it
was anything serious. In the night
he became worse, owing to the noise
of the guns and the exposure, and
died in my arms at dawn.
THE soldiers shared their tea and
black bread with me and my remaining
two children, and as the firing had
ceased I started back to Wirballen,
carrying the body of my boy in my
arms, with Anna and Martha hanging
to my skirts.
''The place seemed deserted, so
walked on until I came to an under
takers shop which l entered, and call
ed out to see if apy one was there
No reply came, so found coffin, laid
cut my boy in it, and carried it on
my shoulder to the house of my
brother-in-law. They had all gone,
too, SO l dug grave in the soft soil
in the garden and put the coffin into
it. l had no strength to do more, and
the children were crying for food"
