A new breathing device and smoke
protector for firemen is being givsa
q tryout by the La Junta fire depart
ment. A few days ago It was givsA
q test In the jail at the City Hall.
The bastile was closed up and the
room made full of smoke and gas
from bcrning formaldehyde can
dies and old rags. 1t was SO thick
that you could cut off a chunk with
a sharp knife. One OF the firemen
donned the hood and remained inside
for period OF seven minutes. and
when he emerged was apparently
no worse for his experience.
The hoods are not oxygen hoods.
but the device Is SO arranged that
the firemen can breathe from the
pure air that is always near the
floor or ground no matter how dense
the room may be with piisonous
gases or smoke. II is made Of can
vass and rubber and can be quick
ly slipped over the head. There are
two long tubes leading from the
hood that admit air and and con-
verge into one. the end Of which
drags on the ground behind the
wearer.

HIGH SCHOOL CASE LOST.
sapreme Court Reverses Judge RI.

According to decision rendered
by the supreme court on the first
Monday in March. all the school
districts In Otero county that have
been taxed for the support Of the
La Junta high school will be ex-
empt from taxation, and La Junta
will In the future have to support
her own high school. The law un-
der which the high school in Dis
.rict No. IL was organized was a good
thing for La Junta, but we have al
ways been in serious doubt as to its
being just law. 1t did not seem
fair or just that the taxpayers OF a
country school district should be
taxed for the support of high
school that some OF them. and in
most Instances. none Of them, used
at all. In order 70 be patriot In
our own home town. however. We
acquiseced In the urgent request of
number OF other patriotic citizens
and said nothing about Il. As long
rs II was good thing for La Junta
II seemed to be the patriotic thing to
do to keep quiet about II.

Judgment was rsadered was entitled

Why Do Women Require
 Hair Ornaments?

THERE are women who are unhappy
 without an ornament in their hair. They feel unfinished for the evenings pleasure.
 The Paris women feel the same way. The simplicity of the English coiffure has never appealed to them; only a few of the elect who copy everything Eng- fish leave the head uncovered.
 Neither is the huge and usually over weighted tiara of precious gems to their liking. Their passion for jewels does not run along this line. so they attach to the coimure a bird of para disc, a long ostrich feather, an orien-a tai nIlet, a Grecian bandeau, a Persian pearl on a si1lxen thread, an Indian circ1et of upright black feathers.
 They study this effect of the head as much as they study a gown or a hat, putting it in place of importance and rarely going without it There are Americans who have this point of view.
 women stick in a bow of ribbon a
 paste jewel, a butterfly, anything in order to accentuate the coimure. The effect is not always good. Often woman sacrifices the charm of a whole costume by this faulty addition,
 but the arguments against it brought up by their friends seldom have weight. Haven't you noticed that cer- tain eccentricities, certain tempera- mental preferences, will always come out in a woman no matter how much opposition she gets?
 It is an interesting study, this, and might appeal to the biologist. In some obscure way it is a reversal to type. Long ago, in the dim distant making of her, she was destined to pin on a bow, or sleek back her hair, or choose the gay instead of the severe in clothes or abjure powder, or yield to paint.
 When women wore puffs and curls and braids they also added ornamental caps. When the eoiffure became as simple as an Indians, even the fancy pin was excluded. The main effort was to make the hairpins invisible.

Launder Your Own Silk
 Underwear

MOST women wear silk hosiery and vests, and they often wonder what they can do to save the wear on these articles.
 There are a few things which can be done. among which Is their care
 Every one knows that precipitation will cause anything to wear out quickly but these frafi silk garments wear out much easier than cotton or woolen cloth. Thus if each one would rinse out stockings and vest as soon as they are removed 1t would be found that they would wear about three times as long as they do without.
 It takes only few minutes to wash these things through the hands, which avoids the rubbing which they are likely to get if they are washed with the general wash. If they are stretch ed they can then be used again in the morning.
 Another thing which is important about these silk vests and stockings, especially if they are white, is the fact that if washed with other clothes they will turn yellow. Tn some cases people use one teaspoonful of borax in the wa ter and dnd that the clothes will re- main white.
 or course when these things are be- Ing washed soft warm water and white soap should be used, which is never rubbed on the silk, but make studs and then FlD between the nanaSs5 It IS sur prisinG how few pairs of stockings and undervests are required when they are cared for in this way.
 This Is also true of white silk gloves or silk shirt waists in white. This is the reason many young women have what IS usually termed "a wash out.% To housewives it is strange to do washing h this way, but it is necessary to con sider expenses. t is 2 very economical method.

 And. really, there is nothing In the world that is worth worrying about or that if seemingly unbearable could not be corrected or at least aneHorated by properly conceived and directed work. The feminine portion Of humanity are the ones who are most inclined to worry. Is habit Of the feminine u1iFd to look ahead almost too far. In January the housewife begins to worry about the spring cleaning and the buy ing of fhe spring wardrobe and the storing of the winter garments she is still wearing against moths.
