RACK DISINFECTS PENCILS
FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN

Lead pencils are germ carriers
which may transmit disease, especial
ly to children, most of whom have the
habit of putting pencils in their
mouths. A New Jersey inventor has
devised a disinfecting rack to guard
against this danger. This rack con-
sists of square metal frame. or case,
about three inches deep. In its top
are small holes through which pencils
may be inserted. Beneath the top is
a tablet of clay composition in which
are depressions corresponding to the
holes above. Into these the pencil
ends project, without touching the
clay, and are disinfected by formalin
gas exuding from the clay, which has
been previously charged with that dis
infectant. The pencil of each child
may be assigned a certain place in
the rack.-From the May Popular Me-
chanics Magazine.

which has a wheel on a swivel near
its bend. A lever for raising and
lowering the post. about 80 in. long,
projects from the jack parallel with
the handle. To raise a car the jack,
previously adjusted, is rolled under
the axle with the curved end of the
lever turned up. By pressing this
down the axle is raised so that if de-
sired the low-lying handle can be

GRADE AND PAVING
BONDS DEFEATED
Judge Leslie Decides Not
Enough Votes Cast to Garry
the Proposition.
COUNTY MAY APPEAL CASE

Douglas county's road bond issue
providing for the issuance of paving
bonds for $l,5O0000 and grading
bonds Of $2s0,000, has been held lille
gal by Judge Charles Leslie Of the
district court in decision just hand
ed down. ,.ts
The case will be appealed to the i,
supreme court by the county commits.
sioners. vr.
According to the decision the con- :
stitutionality of the acts of 1870 and
1875, under which the municipalities
of the state have been operating for
more than a generation, is attacked.
Judge Leslie's decision sets forth
that the bonds did not secure a two
thirds majority of the total votes cast
at the primary election and for that
reason are ineffective. The decision
further states that had the road bond
election been held on a day apart
from the primary election and ma
jority of votes given the bonds, they
would have carried. In effect the
decision declares that a two-thirds
majority is required when the bonds
are voted on at general election,
but that If held at a separate elec-
ton only majority is required.
Considers Two Months. '
Judge Charles Leslie handed down
the road bond decision after consid-
ering the case for nearly two months,
Two bond issues were submitted to
Douglas county people on April IS at
the spring primaries. Two issues pro-
vided for the grading and improving
Of main thoroughfares, one calling
for the issuance Of bonds for 81, ,500.-
600 for surfacing the roads with brick
and the other for $250000 for grad
ing. Both issues carried by a small
majority, neither receiving a major
ity vote of the total number of ballots
cast at the primary.
These figures tell the story and the
reason for the filing of the suit by
Mr.. Patterson:

Organizations of property owners,

drew their support during the election
and opposed the issue on the ground

fused to allow the use Of vitrified
brick. #
| Blocks the Sale.
When an application for an injunc-
tion was filed on June II, preventing
the Douglas county commissioners
from selling or offering to sell these
bonds the fight was precipitated. 1:
d. c. Patterson, representing the
Omaha Real Estate Exchange. is
nominally the plaintiff in the action.
John P. Brown has been acting for
Mr.. Patterson and has based his fight
on the alleged illegality Of the cleo
ton, the complaints being that. .
two-thirds vote was necessary and
, that certain portions of the road pro.
, posed to be paved were not owned by
, the county. Demurrer proceedings
against the application were filed
; June az, the case being heard BY
