The seaman's Law.

Senator Robert NJ La Toilette was
the father of the so called Seaman's
law which has been good deal criti-
cized by the some newspapers. Sen
ator La Toilette in an article over his
own signature defends the law as fol-
lows:
This country is being made the
victim of vicious and menacing
conspiracy. The Shipping Interest is
putting forth every resource known
to INSCRIPTIONS business to discredit
the Seamen's Law. Through oblig
ing commercial organizations, COM
mercialized city dailies, subsevient
magazines. interested news agencies
and other instrumentalities that show
startling Willingness to serve spec
ial interest at the expense OF the pub
lie interest, the ship owners of the
United States and those of other
countries are seeking to prevent the
enforcement of this great humane act
passed by the last Congress.
According to the terms of the Sea
mems Law it will become operative
November 4 next, as far as it affects
American vessels. The part of it
dealing with life saving appliances
,, on foreign vessels will be put in eff
feet March a, 1916. The section of
the law dealing with the freedom of
the seamen, their right to quit foreign
vessels, and with the standard of
skill imposed by the act on all sea-
men is to become effective June A.,
1916.
Nothing in this measure viii work
any hardship upon an American yes
sci as compared with foreign vessels.
The purpose Of Congress in passing
this law was to equalize the cost of
operation by setting free the law of
supply and demand in order to COM
pei foreign ship owners to come up
to the American standard. And Con-
gress gave the ship owners eight
whole months in which to prepare for

fic Mail is owned by the Southern
Pacific Railway. Two years ago
Congress passed a law foTbiddng
railroad owned ships to pass through
the Panama Canal To continue in
Tits highly prosperous business, the
Pacific Mail was forced by that law
to reorganize in order to run its ships
through the Canal And it was back
in February /, 1913, at a Nearing be-
fore congressional committee that
was considering the Panama Canal
Act that Mr.. Schwerin predicted the
action that his company has now tax
en-.
What has really happened is this;
the Pacific Mail is separating itself
from the Southern Pacific in order to
comply with the terms of the Panama
Canal. Act 1t has obtained estimates
and Specifications from the Union
Iron Works of San Francisco to
change its vessels from coal burners
TO oil burners. 1t has further engag-
ed some Chinese scholars to teach
part of the crews of the vessels Amer
lean sea phrases. BY changing from
coal to oil burners the company will
reduce the cost of operation of its
boats. Not only according to Andrew
Furuseth in giving to the Pacific
Mail cheaper fuel, but instead of
carrying rs Chinese firemen in the
hold they can with the new apparatus
operate the board with is white men
in the hold. They pay these Chinese
nine dollars month in gold. The
white men will receive fifty-five dol
lars. In other words, to take a typi-
cal vessel, while it now costs $1,035
in wages for Chinese labor, under the
new arrangement the company would
operate the boat for 1890 in wages
per month. And there would be fur
ther saving in operation to the ex-
tent of the difference between the
food consumed by the eighteen white
men and that now. consumed by the
one hundred and fifteen Cinnamon
Furthermore, 1t is now a very costly
operation to take on and store the
coal and the coal costs more per heat
unit than does the oil.

hillside. But very excellent results may

The rock garden should have its high

still. clump of trees and shrubbery
which will serve to mask it's origin.
From this vantage point it may extend

out for it: here an isolated boulder.

New School Architecture.

A one-story schoolhouse, built in the
form of a square. around a courtyard,
and so constructed that. by raising a
into what will be practically an open
air school, is the type of structure that
marks a new departure in modern
school architecture. 1t provides health
full surroundings for the children, keeps
them near the ground. so that the dan
ger of fire and panic is reduced to a
minimum. and at the same time affords
exercise.
The open-air sashes face on an inner
corridor, which will eventually form
a sort of cloister around the courtyard.
AS the needs of the community require.
other wings will be added on the three
remaining sides of the central square.
1t is intended eventually to have a
gymnasium and swimming pool in a
basement under the courtyard.

THE LOCATION OF ROOM
FACTOR IN PAPERING

In selecting wall paper It is not so
important to adhere strictly to the
prevailing style as to consider the
location of the rooms-which way
they face, their height and size and the
use that will be made of them, says
writer in the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The taste employed in the selection
of wall papers has as much as the fur
niture to do with the appearance Of
home.
Selection of the wall papers often
tells the story of why one home looks
coy and inviting, while another ap-
pears cherries and unattractive.

appearance if the walls are covered
with soft shades of gray, sand. putty
or dull green. On the other hand. the
same room may be made to look small
er and close and stuffy if papered in
red.
The dining room on the north side
of the house, if papered in pretty,

it would If papered in the grays or

blues that are so well adapted to rooms
with a southern facing.
Whether to have the wall paper fig
ured or plain depends largely upon the
amount of space there for paper, how
much woodwork there is and how many
pictures will be used.
If pictures are not to be used the pa
per may be figured. especially if the
wall surface is broken by doors and
windows. If pictures are to be used
the walls should have either n plain
paper or one that is incenspicuous.
Two-toned papers and others that are
so quiet and inconspicuous that the de
sign can scarcely be distinguished
across the room may be classed with
plain papers when considered as a
ba background for pictures.
The wall paper is not only the back
ground for pictures, but for everything
in the room-the people as well as the
furnishings-and it should be selected
accordingly.
The walls of room should not be
so striking in appearance that they Sc
cure the first attention of one enter

Probably at some future time when
the city has small issue of bonds to
dispose of, the experiment of issuing
the bonds in denominations of 800 or
less and selling them "over the coun-
ter" directly to the people Of the city
will be given trial in Kenosha. With
the city receiving considerable pre-
MUM at this time on its larger issues
when they are sold in a lump directly
to some bank or trust company, it
would cost the city considerable to
make the experiment aside from the
fact that it would be hard matter for
the city to advance the money from the
contingent fund to carry forward the
projects for which the bonds are is
sued until they are disposed of at re-
tail. There is not the slightest doubt
that the people Of the city could take
over almost any sized bond issue if
they were so disposed but if they failed
to come forward the city would find
itself in the position of the retail mer-
chant with "broken lot" of goods
on hand to get rid of.

Tt is of little use for men to hope to
advance in life, unless they know what
is going on in their own locality. For
that reason every dollar spent on news
papers is more than returned. Years
ago people used to be satisfied with one
newspaper, but nowadays most famil-
les have several.
The newspaper is full Of suggestions
to the business man of ways in which
he can sell his goods. He learns the
popular demand for various articles,
and becomes familiar with styles, fash
ions, and manners, which affect the dis
ltribution of all kinds of commodities.
The retailer learns what his competit-
ors are doing, and sees object lessons
of the art of advertising in every issue.
The workingman hears of opportuni-
ties for better employment, and of
chances to buy goods cheap for his
family.
A great many wealthy men have
founded their fortunes on careful daily
study Of newspapers. Business success
is all based on popular tastes and hab-
its. There is no other way to learn so
much about those tastes and habits as
to become an inveterate newspaper
reader,
