Crate little fine spermaceti into your
starch if you want the linen glossy.
Cream Slaw--Chop fine crisp cab
bage, season with salt, pepper and good
vinegar to suit taste; and just before
sending TO table add cupful of whipped
cream, sweet.
When turning hem on linen, keep a
glass OF warm water at hand and dip
the fingers into it frequently The stiff.
ness of the heavy linen will yield and
the work may be accomplished much
more quickly and accurately.
When securing steel knives with brick
dust, it is good plan to mix small
quantity of baking soda with the dust.
In this way much brighter polish is
obtained, and with far less expenditure
of time and labor.
Hang a whisk broom on the back porch
and encourage the boys and other mem
bers of the family to use it. This will
tighten indoor work to surprising ex-
tent. especially if the members Of the
family are also careful to use the door
mat.
To prevent plant pots from leaving a
mark on table or shelf try this plan:
First lay linen cloth, if you wish to
use one, on the table; place upon it a
piece Of plain window glass cut to fit
the table. The fowerpots and saucers
may rest safely on the glass, which is
easily cleaned whenever necessary.
To mend frayed tablecloth. haste a
piece of sheer muslin or organdy firmly
on the wrong side of the cloth, keeping
the threads as nearly as possible in their
proper position; then place that part OF
the cloth in an embroidery hoop and
darn over and under the frayed threads |
and into the firm cloth an inch or two
On either side. Use, if possible, linen
thread pulled from piece of leftover
new table linen After laundering the
nended place in the cloth will hardly be
noticed

TAXES $40 Per
CAPITA IN IOWA
T. Fa
Total Levy for All Purposes Annu-
ally Amounts TO over
47,OOO,OOO.
SMALL INCREASE IN
STATE TAX is SHOWN
State Share OF Tax increased $500.
900 Small Districts Share
SCI 100000.

According to a table prepared in
the Office of the state auditor and
now being printed for general cir
culation in the state there is a gra-
phic showing of the progress in
matters of taxation and assessment
in the state of Iowa.
From this table it will be seen
that the taxes levied for 1914 for all
purposes of every kind-state, coun-
ty, school, roads-was $47,072,369
That is nearly $40 per capita.
The steady increase is also shown
as follows: For 1905 it was $780,
061,977; for 1906 it was S26,3S3,-
163; for 1908 It was $29,24S,S7S;
for 1910 it was $32, ,500,O45; for
.1912 it was $36,796,S44; for 1913
it was $45,744,S6O.
Now as to the strictly state tax,
levied for state purposes only.
While in 1914 it was $2,706,SS9, it
was in 1905 $1,992,932, and in 1910
it was $2,2S7,63S.
From this it will be seen that
while the state tax levy was moving
up in nine years by an increase OF
about 100000 the other taxes were
moving up total of about S21, ,000,-
600. While the state tax was being
boosted in five years by nearly $780,
900, the other taxes were being
boosted by over $4,000, 900.
II to the regular state tax for
state purposes be added these other
taxes, the levies for which are fixed
by law, mainly for educational pur-
poses and for charitable purposes,
still the increase in nine years was
less than two and a half millions
while all taxes together were Deire
increased over S21, 100000.
The tax levies that are controlled
by the legislature aggregate about
g per cent of the entire taxes collect
ed in the state, leaving local taxin 9
boards to determine on the amount
to be collected on 81 Per cent oI
of all taxes.
The table when published will
prove of great interest in every coun.
lty of the state for comparison.

PENSIONING TEACHERS.
The Teachers Pension Movement.
Twelve States Have Public
School Teachers Pension
Law.


1t is perhaps not generally realiz-
ed how much is now being done
to provide for the old age of teach
ers. The Carnegie Foundation for
the Advancement Of Teaching made
is annual report the past week,
showing nearly 100000 paid for
pensions for college professors. But
this is only one phase of the move
ment. Twelve states now have a
general public school teachers pen
sion law, and Ia have one applica BILE
to the larger towns and cities.
The effect of this idea, new in
the United States, is becoming far
reaching, though it may not draw
great many young people into the
profession. To girls at the gradua-
J ton age, the term of service requir-
ed for a pension looks long, and ma
trimony looms large.
But after young woman has
been teaching for four or five years,
! she begins to find the sharp limita-
tions of her employment, looked at
from the business viewpoint. With
the growing independence of the
sex, there are a great many girls to-
! day who are not thinking seriously
of marriage. Their first aim is a
dependable life-work. A long ca
reer as a teacher at low pay and
with many expenses looks less and
less attractive as the years go by.
There is no chance to secure a re-
serve for old age.
Hence many of them find their
way into other employments. They
find more attractive opportunities
in business ventures of their own,
as private secretaries, ETC., and some
are going into farming.
Realizing the growing scarcity of
good teachers, and to hold in their
position many young women who
otherwise would quit for more high
ily rewarded fields, the teachers pen
sion movement has grown rapidly.
1t must tend to concentrate good
teachers in the larger cities and in
states that provide this highly desir-
able incentive. Small places and
states without pension system and
4 that their schools are considered too
.mueh as a place "to try it on the
dog" The more gifted girls are
apt to work there only until they
reach a place where the teacher 5
service is more highly valued.
The respect of your enemies is
more to be desired than the faint
praise and flattery of your friends.

LUTHER COLLEGE BAND
MAKING BIG HIT
San Francisco Chronicle Lauds Work
OF Band, Prof. Sperati and
Nine. OhlsOn-SOlem.
BY CHORAL UNION
AND BAND EXCELLENT
Band Leader and SolOist Are Given
Warm Praise by the Large
Audience Who Heard
- Them at the Civic
Auditorium.

The Luther College Concert Band
and its wonderful director, Prof
Carlo A. Sperati and the soloist,
Nine. Ohlson-Solem are receiving
much praise at the San Francisco Ex-
position. We take the following
from the San Francisco Chronicle
of June 81
THE platform of the Civic Audi
torium was so filled with singers last
night that their number would have
made a good sized audience had they
taken the floor. In addition, how
ever, there was a good sized audi
ence to listen to these singers, 500
strong, from various parts of the
United States. Their discipline was
perfect and their vocal work excel
lent, the master. of the baton, Carlo
Sperati, having the chorus we'll in
hand and exercising a control that
kept the concerted work extremely
smooth and good to hear.
The programme was practically
one of oratorio. and the assistance Of
the band of sixty-six members result
ed in an impressive delivery.
While the natural unity of band
and singers gave evidence of smooth
ness and harmony, the instruments
suffered somewhat from the accous-
tic properties; offering at times
tones which were out of true pro-
portion.
These soloists consisted of a dra-
matte soprano, Nine. Ohlson-Solem,
new to San Francisco, and L. A.
Larsen, whose singing has been ac-
ceptable to concert-goers for many
years. Nine. Solem displayed an or
gan of dramatic value and endowed
with sweetness. Her first number,
"Dich theure Halle" from Tam
hauser," was given with fine inter-
probation, and showed a carrying
power ruav outweighed the defects
of the hail. Nine. Solem was enthu-
Isiastically applauded, and after
song by Carrie Jacobs-Band, she
sang Annie Laurie in a way which
met with entire approval. "Elsa's
Dream" from "Lohengrin,' and
songs by Mrs. Beach were also given
| by Nine. Solem.
Larsen was heard in an aria from
elijah" and THE Palms" The
chorus and band, which respective
| ly are the choral union of the Nor
wegian Synod and the Luther CO. ege
Concert Band, gave excerpts from
Gounods Redemption, Elger's
with Pomp and Circumstance"
Grieg's "Peer Gynt' suite, Haydn's
"Creation'' and the 'Hallelujah
Chorus" An excellent standard Of
oratorio accomplishment has been
reached by these musicians and an
other concert is contemplated during
their stay in the city.

Sunday night the writer had the
pleasure of a ride with Mr.. j. w.
Mott, of Cresco in his automobile.
and had the privilege of seeing just
how the Safety First Lights" in
vented by Mr.. Mott and Clarence
Christen, of Decorah, worked. We
must say that it is an invention that
will be a great boon to automobile
drivers.
The principle of the invention is
this: The lights turn by the same
movement as the front wheels, con-
nected on the steering arm which
turns the car. On Fords and OF
cars that have not got this steering
arm is placed moving gear and an
arm fastened to the side of the
frame such as on the Lozier cars and
others.
The rod that is fastened to the
steering arm of the car runs to the

shaft of the headlights, and is ad-
lustable to length you want the
lights to travel. The shaft which
runs through the two boxes which
holds the lights have beyel nitre
gears which turn the lights, both
at the same time and the same way.
All adjustment of the gears is taken
up at the end Of the running shaft; ;
the top gear in this box having a
long collar on it to set a forked
lamp in tight, and a bolt goes thru
all of 1t, thereby securely fastening
the lamps. The lamps work like any
other fine gear machine and will not
have any more play, even to the
.one-hundreth part of an inch.
THE above cut shows one position
of the lights when front wheels are
turned. On short turns these lights
are wonders. When turning out in
meeting another car or team the

lights turn with the front wheels
giving the driver a fine view of the
ground and tells him just how near
to a ditch he might possibly be. The
lights simply follow the front wheels
and at all times the driver knows
just exactly where he is at and how
far he can go. In turning out for
teams the lights turn from the hor-
ses, which is another fine feature,
and does not frighten them.
These lights are now being manu-
factured and the gentlemen will
have 1000 of them here in about
two weeks. The orders for the lights
will all be filed in rotation, and we
understand the price will be low. All
information can be secured from j.
w. Mott, of Cresco, or Clarence
Christen, of Decorah. The lights will
60 fast, and all interested better get
their order in early.

LIQUOR SHIPMENT TO DRY
STATES.
L. s. Supreme Court Ruling Will Re.
open Fight i'm Congress for
Prohibition.

By decision involving the Webb
Kenyon law Monday the Supreme
court of the United States paved the
way for the reopening of the strug-
gle in congress to prevent the in
terstate shipment of intoxicating Ii
quor.
The court held that the shipment
of liquor to a person in dry terri
tory for his individual consumption
was not a violation of the Webb
Kenyon law.
The drys have held that the law
was intended to prevent the ship
ment of liquor into dry territory, ir-
respective of the purpose for which
it was intended, either for sale or
personal consumption.
Undoubtedly the effect of the de-
cision will make the Prohibitionists
more active in their efforts to OBJ
tain national prohibition and less
active in pushing propaganda for
statewide prohibition.
The courts decision was that the
Webb Kenyon law designed to pro-
hibit Interstate shipments of liquor
into dry territory does not apply to
such shipments unless the state in
to which the shipment Is made has
a law making it crime for a per-
son to drink liquor or to have it in
his possession. Few states have such
laws. ,t.~

No Let-Up in Work
for the Tiger Eleven
ln- T.lerraph 70 Tie TrIhune ]

Princeton. \. J., Oct. a. According
to SPEEDY" Rush. the Princeton foot
ball team is facing it's hardest work of
the season th's week There will be no
let-up in the practice and the whole
squad will scrimmage tomorrow after
noon. with the possible exception of
one or two of the men who made the
best showing on Saturday. These men
will be back on the Job Tuesday. and
from then on to the Williams game
Rush will push his men 10 the limit.
After that the varsity vii be allowed
to rest most o. the remaining week
before the Harvard game, to avoid any
chance Of staleness.
Right now the greatest fault that
Rush has TO contend with is overconi-
dence. He believes that this is one Of
the things that has TO be prepared for
lust the same as defence has to be
provided for forward passing, and so
this week he means to take out any
overconfdence that may Turk in the
Princeton eleven as a result of its re-
cent victories
The team came through the hard
Dartmouth game in good condition.
Most Of the men showed up for chapel
this morning as usual and will be on
hand when Rush calls the roll to-mor-
row.
All eyes arc turned toward the Har-
ward game, and it may be expected that
from now on most attention will be de
voted 10 perfecting the team play Of
the Tigers So far this season Rush
has laid special stress on getting the
individual men grounded IN the game,
and it was not until couple Of weeks
ago that real offence could be seen
developing. From the way the whole
eleven men follow the ball it looks as
though the first part of Rush's job -
complete The men seem 10 know their
4 b C's well. and now this individual
brilliancy will be moulded into a more
perfect team.

MANY YACHTS

Recent Transactions in
Steam Craft Presage
an Active Season.

There is no better indication that
wave of prosperity is sweeping over
the country, so say the prophets of
Wall Street, than is shown by the many
recent purchases and sales Of large
steam yachts that fly the flag Of the
New York and other yacht clubs. 1t
shows a great renewal Of national in
terest in the sport, and it gives prom
ise Of an unusually active season in
1916.
Out of total of some half a hun
dred large yachts that have changed
hands since the close of the season of
1915 perhaps the most important was
the sale, through Cox & Stevens, Of the
