Some keokuk Business Men Con-
slider Recommendation OF
Finance Committee
Good One.
WOULD PAY FOR SELF
City Rent Would Go Toward Debt and
state Rent for Armory Toward
Interest on
Bonds.

The idea of combined city hall
and armory, as outlined in the rec
Ommendation made in the report of
the finance committee recently ap.
pointed to examine into the armory
proposition and printed in The Gate
City last evening, has struck several
local business men as a valuable sug-
gestion and the point promises to be
amply discussed at the meeting of
Keolruk citizens which the armory
executive committee has called for
500 o'clock Friday evening at the
superior court room.
In discussing the proposition OF a
combined city hall and armory, one
local business man was of the opin-
ion that the idea was an excellent one
and one worthy Of the consideration
Of the city and city officials.
A city the size of KeOkuk," he
said, Should have her own municipal
building. and in connection with this
q coliseum for the entertainment Of
large conventions and TOR other sim
liar purposes. "a
This coliseum could be used for
drill room for the national guard
company here and for armory pur-
poses and could be constructed with
such an end in view.
"The city now has to pay rental
for the city Offices. With this new
building In use. instead of. the city
paying rent, the rent money could be
applied upon the payment of the
construction of the building and in
time the city would own it's own city
hall
while the city rent money is go
ing toward paying for the building.
the revenue which can be derived
from the state and government for
the armory rent, will more than
guarantee the interest on the bonds"
The executive committee, compos-
ed Of q. L. Williams, chairman;
The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1916-07-06

Emil F. Renaud, and d. B. Hamill, is
anxious that some definite step be
taken as the time is drawing near
when Adjutant General Logan must
be notified OF the stand of Keokuk on
the armory question. The committee
feels certain that Keok.Ikts chance
to retain Company L will be prac-
tically nil II nothing is done before
the guardsmen return to Keokuk-
1t is hoped that the meeting on Fri
day night will be conductive to re-
suits.

Why the Baby Cries.

Now we know why the baby cries
For a long time the cause was yelled
In obscurity. 1t might be an inaccessi'
BILE pin, or 1t might be the helpless dis
crepancy betwixt the heavenly king
dom and this world, or 1t might be q
plain case of collie, called by what new
tangled term you please. 1t has re-
manned for George B. Hotchkiss Of the
University School Of Commerce, adj
dressing editors and publishers of
trade journals In New York, to dis
cover that the baby cries in order to
advertise. 1t is the baby's effective an
nouncement, In the imperative mood,
that he wants to be taken up and
petted, or he wants the moon, or he
wants something else, and che won't
be happy till he gets It." There is no
denying that for an infant industry the
baby's advertising is a great success.
Nearly every time he gets results, and
the most astute and alert professional
solicitor cannot show higher percent
age of success.

Easy and Attractive Edge.

At the crucial moment when you
have a centerpiece or towel all finished
but the edge, you are stranded for want
Of a quickly worked crochet edge. Clip
this description of an easy and at
tractive edge for future use. 1t will
finish off a collar or a towel or bit
of lingerie or q luncheon set. Try it!
Make single crochets rather closely
around the entire edge to be finished,
taking them over the turned-in hem of
the material or just through the edge
of the goods. Then chain four, skip
ping, four of the singles, and fasten
this chain of four in every fifth with a
single crochet stitch. After you have
gone around the edge in this manner
go over the chain of four with four
singles, then make two singles in next
loop, turn the work, chain four, catch
with single in middle of last loop, turn
and work over this with four singles,
finish the two singles in the other loop
and proceed as described.
You can vary this edge by making
doubles instead of singles with picots
on the loops, or by making the loops
longer and using more singles or dou-
bles to fill them.

Conservation for lakes.

The hundred and more lakes which
are scattered over Iowa, chiefly in the
northern part, are about to be includ-
ed in what doubtless will be one of the
most comprehensive plans ever adopt
ed by any state to conserve its bodies
of water, according to Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. At the direction of
the Iowa Legislature, x engineers
have been engaged for ma p than a
year in making a careful surV " of the
lakes and marshes of the state At the
same time experts from the state col
in the lake region. This mass of in
formation Is about to be embodied in
a report which, it is expected, will be
used in outlining a program of i'm
provement that will cover five or more
years. Certain of the lakes, probably
about fifty in all, will be set aside as
game preserves The fish grown at
the state hatcheries will be transferred
to these lakes and other steps taken
for the benefit of Sportsmen. About
fifty other lakes will be designated as
resort centerS. In some cases it may
be deemed advisable to construct
dams to raise the water level of these
lakes. A third group will be drained.
many which are SO shallow that they
freeze solid in winter and dry up in
summer.

Pretty Collars and Cuffs.

Nothing ornaments gown more
than pretty collars and cuffs, and both

often form the principal trimming.
An especially goOd-looking collar,
seen the other day, was finished along
the edge with mitered insertion. Above
the insertion, on the material, blue
dots were embroidered at regular in
tervals. The insertion and lawn were
machine hemstitched together, which
added to the collar.
Another collar, made of net, was
finished with q border Of sheer lawn,
hand-embroidered The lawn was ap-
pliqued over the net and tiny Ar
menian lace was sewed around the
edge. A double collar Of organdie was
especially pleasing. The upper collar
was smaller and decorated with a lit
tie hand embroidery. The edges of
both were finished with q tiny Irish
crochet lace.
Any of these collars could be made
by the house sewer They require very
little embroidery, as a simple pattern
is smarter than anything elaborate.
Cuffs can be made to match any of
the collars.

Makes IL Easy to Locate Pipes.

Piping such as is made use of for
conducting air, water, steam or hot wa
ter is frequently buried in the wall,
with nothing to indicate it's presence,
so that when repairs are necessary it
is often 4 difficult matter to ascertain
the location of these conduits Very
often this is accomplished only by tear
ing out the plaster and doing consider
able damage to the property. A recent
ly patented electric method for locating
the pipes is simply special applica-
ton of the well-knoWn induction bal
ance principle. A convenient apparatus
is made up, consisting of two sets of
coils placed on ends of a magnet bar
One set of coils receives alternating or
Migratory current from suitable
source and the other coils are connect
ed to a telephone. The balance is first
established so that no sound is heard
in the telephone. When the device
comes near the metal piping this dis
turbS the balance and a sound is heard.
1t is thus an easy matter TO find the
exact position of the pipes and TO reach
them with less damage to the wall.
