BEAUTIFUL KITCHENS.

The American way is to have two
distinct classes of household articles
the useful and the beautiful. The
useful things, like broms and dust
pans, double boilers, mixing bowls
and kitchen tables are carefully kept
out of sight of strangers-in the
kitchen, the pantry, the attic or the
cellar AS a rule they are hideous.
Almost never do they possess color
or beauty of line or shape, unless, as
in the case of bowl now and then,
quite by accident. The other things,
lounge cushions, table spreads, chan
deliers and vases are usually built
with so great a straining after the
purely ornate that their usefulness is
overlooked.
OF late years, however, there has
been decided improvement in the
way OF making ornamental things
also useful. The lounge cushion with
'hand-painted" roses on white
satin cover, that no one could think
of using. the vase that would not
hold water, and the chandeliers that
did not give a good light are fast
passing into the things that have
been. The arts and crafts movement,
or whatever you choose to call it,
that has demanded a greater SINGER
ity in the construction of interior
furnishings is largely responsible for
this.
But the other defect of the Ameri-
can way has so far been neglected.
We have made our "parlor" furniture
useful, but have we made our kitchen
furniture beautiful?
In Japan the poorest folk have
kitchen things that are beautiful.
Their iron pots are exquisitely shaped
and their mixing bowls have colors
that would charm the eye of an ar
tist. Yes, and if we got hold of
those pots and pans and bowls we'd
put them on the parlor mantel and
use the hideous American sort in the
kitchen, even if we had no maid and
had to spend much more time over
the pots and pans than ever we did
in the parlor.
But the change will come, we are
told. 1t is all part OF our artistic de-
velopmcnt that has only just begun
There will be time when a frying
pan will be JOY to behold and when

I once knew a man who complained con

at fault.

follow in the train Of the cheaply-mads

to ask me lately to advise about her little
girls feet. She said:

entitled "The Condescending Man
and the Obstructive Woman" in a
recent number of Harper's Weekly.
And further-"that Mrs. Arthur NJ
Dodge, president of the National As
sociation Opposed to Woman Suf-
frage should not want to vote is
proper enough. but not especially sig
nifcant. That Miss Katharine B.
Davis, commissioner of correction in
New York city, and head of a de-
partment numbering six and seven
thousand voters, should not be al
lowed to vote. despite her wish to
do so, is highly significant. But that
Mrs. Dodge should seek to prevent
Miss Katherine B. Davis from voting
is preposterous." The article further
tries to make clear that there is no
compulsion in voting, that women
like men will not need to vote if
they do not wish to.
But only yesterday Mrs. Arthur NJ
Dodge explained that were women
granted the suffrage. she would sure
ly vote.
"Yes, I should be the first one at
the polls" she told a newspaper re-
porter. "The vote is a duty not a
privilege. Half the political trou-
bic we have is caused by the men
neglecting it. The women generally
would neglect it more than men, but
if they had the franchise the anti
sufTragists could be depended upon
to do their duty"
Well, if the suffragists are clamor-
ing for the vote and the leader Of the
antis has said that she and her fol-
lowers would rally round the polls if
women should get the vote, what's
the row about anyway?

The question of bullet {

The question of bullet ownership
appears to have arisen first in a Bull
garian hospital during the Balkan
Wars in 1912. A quarrel arose be-
tween a wounded soldier and sur
geon, both of whom laid claim to an
extracted bullet. Herr Hachenber-
ger, well known German jurist, con-
sidered the subject exhaustively at
that time, but without coming a
definite conclusion, except in so far as
to decide that the missile did not, in
any case, belong to the surgeon. Pro-
fessors Francke and Zittleman, also
noted German jurists, considered the
subject in the following year. Both
reached the conclusion that the pro-
jectile belonged to the soldier.

allied that his services would be re-
CURED just as soon as term of court

1t is Mr., Wolcott's intention to leave

PROJECT|LES ARE
PROPERTY Of
WOUNDED

BERLIN, Jan. 11-(Correspondence
Of the Associated Press) -The ques-
ton, to whom does the projectile in
the body of a wounded soldier be-
long, is discussed gravely by Court
Assessor LANCE in the German Juristic
Magazine with an article declaring
the ownership of such missiles to re-
side in the state. A bullet, ne says, is
not an ownerless object. The soldier
who sends it on it's way does not thus
surrender his states ownership in it.
His object is merely to do as much
damage as he can, and it must be as
sumed that he intends to reobtain
possession of the missile thereafter
for recasting or other possible use.
II, however, 1t be assumed that the
state originally owning the projectile
gives up its ownership by firing it
way, 1t does not even then belong to
the man unlucky enough to get in its
way, but to his state, under inter
national law and the law prizes of
war. "The wounded man possesses
the missile only as the renresentativa
OF the state of which he is a subject"
writes Herr LANCE.

The property on which the option
has been taken is popularity known as

number of years, and who have taken
out a large amount of dust

period last fall and winter. and while

it was perfectly satisfactory.
Mr., Brooks, who has represented
the claims for several years, had al
ready installed a hydraulic outfit, and
had taken out considerable money.
The new owners will enlarge the out
fit, and will employ a number of men.

MAKES ADDRESS
To SCHOOL
CHILDREN

Rev. J. l.. Mcbride addressed the.
scholars of the public school this
morning on the subject of Chicago"
Mr.. Mcbride was thoroughly fam
liar with his subject, and gave very
interesting ond instructive talk on the
big city on the lakes. He spoke of
it's commercial importance, its location
making it the principal distributing
point for the foodstuffs of the west
and the manufactures from the east,
and stated that the domestic com
merce of the city would some day ex-
coed the foreign passing through the
port of New York. He described
graphically the various divisions of
the city and their people, and stated
that Chicago had the largest negro
population of any city in the country.
He also spoke of the immense stock
yards, through which pass a large por.
ton of the food animals of the coun.
try, and remarked on their cleanliness.
Speaking of the educational system
of the city Mr.. Mcbride said there
were 100000 school children in the
| city, for whom excellent graded
schools were provided, as well as a
number of night schools for those who
work during the day.
In speaking of the great business
houses of the city Mr.. Mcbride said
that the store of Marshall Fields G
Co. covered Ia city blocks, and wa.
twelve stories in height, and that ovel
its counters each year is passed four
times the amount of money Alaska
produces in a year.
