|E|GHT-HOUR LAW
UPHELD BY COURT
ConstitutionaIity Of Measure
Is Sustained in Opinion by
Justice Mccoy.
CONFORMS TO DECISION
OF HIGHEST TRIBUNAL
Only Possible Ground for Exception
He Says, Is in Limitation of Num-
ber of Days Work Weekly.

The constitutionality OF the District
eight-hour law, which prohibits the
employment of females in certain es
adjustments and avocations for more
than eight hours in any one day or
more than six days or more than
forty eight hours in any one week, was
sustained today by Justice Mccoy of
the District Supreme Court The court
granted the motion of the District
Commissioners to dismiss a proceeding
for injunction filed by Basil b. Earn
shaw. stockholder. to prevent the
Congress Hall Hotel Corporation from
complying with the demands of the law
in connection with the employment of
female help in the hotel.
Justice Mccoy points out that with
the exception of the words or more
than six days in any one week" the
local statute is identical with the stat
ute of California, held constitutional
States February 23. 1915. He also de-
clares that the act must be upheld
even though it does limit employment
to six days in the week.
The court does not determine the
question of whether there is to be one
day of rest in seven consecutive days
under the law or whether or not the
forty eight hours permitted labor may
be spread through seven days, with no
more than eight hours work in any
one day. This question would have to
be determined in proceeding to col
lect the prescribed penalty brought by
the District authorities for a violation
of the laws provisions Such a test,
the court suggests. would involve only
the risk of loss of not more than $50
by way of penalty and of a not excess
i've amount paid for additional en-
ployes pending a decision by the court
of last resort.

The Sun In Alaska.

Noon on Dec. 81 at Fairbanks, Alas
ka, is identical with midnight, June Il,
at the same place except that it is
usually 130 degrees colder and there is
snow on the ground. IN winter the
sun in interior Alaska rises about 10
o'clock and sinks out Of sight again
about in the afternoon.
The temperature in the latter part OF
December usually is 40 degrees below
zero. Sometimes it goes down to 60
below. In summer the thermometer on
June q will often show 80 degrees in
the shade, thus giving range of 100
degrees.-Popular Mechanics.

OUR BRIGHT BLUE SUN.
1t Is tlse Air or Moisture That Makes
1t Look White or Red.

1t Look White or Red.
There is Il general belief that sun
light is white and therefore that the
sun is white But this is long way
from the real condition of things. The
sun is i bright blue, Us blue in color
as seems the water of deep mountain
lake 1t is the air that makes the sun
seem white
Everybody has noticed when the air
is very foggy that the sun appears as
red ball, as red as 4 redhot poker,
Yet we know the sun hasn't changed
at ALL 1t is the mist in the air that
makes the color seem different. Aud
in the dawn and dusk, no matter how
clear the air may be. the sun is much
redder in color than when it is over
head in the middle Of the day. The
reason for this is that in the morning
and evening we see the sun through a
thicker belt Of air. 1t is this thicker
air which makes it look redder, just
as it is the fog which has the same
effect. If the air were taken away en-
tirely, then we should expect the sun
to be still less red.
Since in the middle of the day the
sun is white. how could it be less red?
By being blue.
The atmosphere is really like a thick
orange colored veil spread between the
world and the bright blue sun: Like
veil it dims the light, and its color acts
as filter Actually the air stops most
of the blue rays, but lets nGarly all the
orange colored rays come through.
1t has been quite definitely shown
that if it were not for the orange col
ored veil Of the air we could not live
upon the earth today. Even as it is
the actinic rays Of sunlight give sun
stroke in summer, and it is in the blue
and violet rays that the damage IS
done. The air softens the sunlight
enough for us to bear it.
A few million years hence the sun
will be yellow, and already some OF its
earlier blue heat is gone. But for a
million years ahead-'we should Wor-
ry!'-New York American.

TAKING A PERFECT BREATH.
Proper Method of Filling the Entire
Lung Cavity With Air.

Lunq Cavity With Air.
1t does not suffice to breathe pure air,
It must be properly breathed. All
breathing should be done through the
nose-neper through the mouth-and,
if possible, in the open air, or, at least,
before an open window, and several
times daily.
The passage Of air through the nose
has the advantage of being warmed
and moistened and. in reality, filtered.
While deep breathing has been ad-
lyised and written about during recent
years, it is interesting to know that
oriental teachers and philosophers have
known and practiced it for generations.
This best Of all practices may not pro-
mote muscular strength or increase the
size OF the biceps, but it surely makes
directly for the health Of the lungs,
heart, liver and abdominal organs, and
thereby greatly and surely serves the
brain.
To take a perfect breath:
Stand erect by an open window or
out of doors. Fucker up the lips as
though starting to whistle and slow
ly blow out the breath and empty the
lungs Of air. Then, closing the mouth,
breathe through the nose, inhaling
slowly and steadily, filing the entire
lung cavity, which is done by bringing
into play the diaphragm, which, de-
scending. exerts gentle pressure on
the abdomen. In the final movement
the lower part Of the abdomen will be
drawn in. which movement gives the
lungs support and also helps to fill
the highest points Of the lungs. Retain
the breath for a few seconds. Then
once again pucker up the lips as if to
whistle and through the small opening
slowly and gently exhale the breath

DEFECTIVE WIRING.
A Serious Cause of Great American
Fire Loss.

How much of the burning waste OF
the United States is due to the almost
universally present -azards Of electric
wires nobody can say. There is no
cause of fire more difficult of proof
not even arson. WAen an electric wire
sets fire to the ordinary combustible
building the cause Of the fire is the
first thing destroyed by the very ma
ture of its position, because the heat
from electricity is so intense and the
destruction of the insulation gives such
quick increase to the extent Of the
fire. The increasing c-eapness of cleo
tricity for light and power alone has
enormously enlarged the area of its
introduction and it is doubtful if the
standards of inspection and the rules
of installation have kept pace with the
increase of hazards. In many cities
and towns gas for lighting purposes
has been forced out of many old dwell
ings by the cheapness and convenience
of electricity in the past ten years.
Wien this has happened electric wires
have been "fished" between walls, even
in old wooden buildings. Nothing could
be more dangerous to such a house
and no amount of nominal or even con-
scientiuos inspection can prevent the
danger arising from ''fshed' wires.
Most of such inspection must be guess
work and whenever there is a bad
guess the house is certain to burn
some time or other. The intense dry
ness of heat in winter tends to disin-
tegrate the insulation, rats get at it
or some strain in tie settling of such
house after freezes and thaws is
likely to bring the wire in touch with
wood and when that occurs the house
is gone An investigation into fires
that have happened in suburbs to
which electric wiring has been recent
ly extended from many cities would,
we believe, prive that an epidemic Las
followed every such extension. AS a
rule no wires should be permitted in
wooden houses except when placed in
safety conduits in the walls. The prac-
tics of fishing has undoubtedly cost
many millions of losses, in order that
electricity may be sold cheaply,
