Blank to Follow Elector.

When an elector moves from one
county to another the county clerk is
authorized to send his registration
blank to the clerk of the county where
the elector locates.
House bill DDS, introduced by Rep
resentative Childs, is designed to IA
cilitate voting. 1t dispenses with the
poll book and substitutes precinct
register lists. 1t will not be neees-

of the electors as they do. but instead
he will check the names off on his
lists.

Radium In Air and Soil.

ground and the relation of the rate oil
exhalation to the radioactivity of soil
gas at different depths were also in

anation in the air being greatest
when these factors ara at a mini

considerably greater by night than by
day. The rate at which radiunl

crease after periods of heavy rain.

WON HONOR WITH THE FIST
Some British Soldiers Who Have
Earned the Victoria Cross by the
Use of Their Bare Hands.

Skill in isticuffs has several times
won the Victoria Cross. At Inkernlan,
for instance, Capt. Hugh Rowlahds
saved his commanding officer, Colonel
Hay, by a straight left-hander. Hay
was wounded and lying ON the ground,
with a gigantic Russian standing over
him and about to plunge a bayonet to
his heart, When Rowlands, who had
lost his sword, smashed the Russian
with his left hand, knocking the man
unconscious. Rowlands got the V. G.
At Jeerum, In India, during the in
dian mutiny, Gen. James Blair, whose
sword had been broken off at the hilt
and who had no other weapon, dashed
into a crowd of armed mutineers and
knocked five of them down with his
fists in a few seconds. The Victoria
Cross also went to him.
Another officer whose sword broke
at the handle while in action was AID
miral Tug" Wilson, who, at FL Teb
howleG over six Arabs with his fists
He not only won the v. c., but also
his nickname, being called Tug" vii
son after an Euglish boyer who about
that time had gained brief notoriety

GERMAN SOAP FROM SUGAR
Discovery That Promises to Be of I'm.
mense Importance to Country In
the Midst of War.

The discovery is announced of a
method of manufacture of soap from
sugar, Of which Germany has plenty,
instead Of from oil, which is scarce. In
the past 1t has been possible to use
sugar only in soaps that had little
value. BY the new method, 1t is
claimed, the soap produced is not
only fine and delicate, but it acts as
efficiently in salt water as in fresh
a fact that may make the soap valu-
able for the navy.
Articles that formerly had to be
sent to chemical laundries can now be
washed with the new kind Of soap.
The finest kinds Of silks, 1t is alleged,
not only are not harmed by it, but
their colors are brought out brilliantly
and as new. In addition. the sugar
soap seems to be responsible for a
minimum Of the wear and tear occa-
stoned by old-fashioned cleansing
soaps.

TANNED and shortweighted; and in a large percentage of cases he-or ust

1T is because Of the conditions of affairs of which these things are only
samples that the division of weights and measures of the bureau of standards,
has directed many Of its activities in recent years toward securing the enact
ment of better weights INT measure laws by the federal government and
the several states, and toward bringing about srfcter enforcement of existing
laws. Recognizing that the education Oft the consumer is a necessary prereq-
uisne to better conditions the department has prepared a bulletin O house
hold measurements that will be a popular treatise on the subject and which
will put information in the hands of the housekeeper that car be made Of
the greatest usefulness and money value
Much of the space of the bulletin is devoted to the important topic of
measurements in the purchase of commodities and to the weights and meas
laws of the various states. The needs of both the urban and rural cn-
suner are met, for the discussion is comprehensive enough to cover the field
from the checking Of the weights of the butcher and iceman to the compute
tn of the cordage of wood and the capacity of los.

RATHER GAVE HIMSELF AWAY
Uncle Eph Had Not Considered Just
What His Assertion Meant to
His Pending Case.

Uncle Eph, an old colored man, was
up Ia court, accused of stealing a
watch. He pleaded not guilty, and,
moreover, brought against the COM
plsinant a counter-charge Of assault.
The man, he declared, had tried to kill
him with an iron kettle.
During the cross-examination the
attorney, Lawyer Bennett, demanded,
Dare you say that my client attacked
you with an iron kettle?"
Dat what he done, sah," replied
Uncle Eph," with a gulp.
With an iron kettle, eh?" sarcastic.
ally reiterated the lawyer. That's a
fine story for a big, strong fellow like
you to try to impose upon this hon
orable court! And had you nothing
with which to defend yourself?"
Only de watch, sah," was the I'M
wary reply;"but what's a watch agin

SOME HINTS FOR BUILDERS
Great Care should Be Taken in seIee
tion Of the Most Substantial
Roofing Material.

II you were without preparation or
plan, rudely placed in a wilderness,
your first thought would be OF food
supply and your next Of shelter. for
these are the two most vital neeessi-
ties of mankind. 1t is therefore
natural that the best thought, and
study are put upon these two essen
tials.
More forward steps have been
taken in the building industry in the
past fifteen years, as regards comfort,
service and architectural beauty than
in the fifty years previous.
Only in recent years has the hand
ling of cement in building work been
understood properly, and progress is
still constantly being made with it.
Modern hotels and Office buildings
are being equipped with sheet metal
%mouldings and steel veenered doors.
Nearly every important change in
building construction is away from
the fire hazard of wood.
One of the most significant develop
ments of recent years is the crushed
slate surfaced asphalt shingle which
is, on new construction and old, rapid
ly supplanting the wooden article.
There are many reasons for this. The
slate surfaced shingles add beauty to
any building-in fact, there is really
no comparison from an architectural
standpoint. Crushed slate Of pleasing
tints Of red or green, is employed as a
surfacing. The shingles are uniform
ly eight inches wide and are exposed
four inches to the weather. No paint
ing is necessary as the red or green
crushed slate is natural and therefore
cannot fade.
The purchaser, however, should
guard himself against buying a slate
surfaced shingle that is not guaran.
teed by a reliable and responsible
manufacturer. There are SO many
kinds Of roofing and shingles on the
market today each claiming to be the
best that it becomes necessary for the
buyer to get some satisfactory assur
ance that the roofing IT shingles are
represented honestly.
