JUDGE PERKINS ORDERS
THE CITY CLERK TO CALL
ELECTION FOR JAN. 25

iority of the qualified voters would
be required for the ratification OF said
act"
Judge Cary d. Lands made an elo-
quent appeal for the adoption of the
answer and return and declared. 1T
seems that an election has been held
and it is the result of that election
out of which this proceeding grows.
Now the basis of any election and the
thing upon which the votes are cast
the thing for which they are cast to
determine is determined by the call
for that election. That is the one
thing that forms the basis of the cleo
ton and the respondent has alleged
in this return, and we wish to prove
to this court that the call for said cleo.
ton showed that it would require a
majority of the qualified voters of the
city TO ratify said act"
Judge Lands repeatedly declared in
his argument that the charter voted
upon January was at best but an
experiment
AS stated above, the court decided
to issue the peremptory mandamus
compelling the calling of the cleo
ton.

WORK FOR WOUNDED SOLDIER
Scotch Professor Suggests That They
Might Be Employed In the Exter-
minatlon of Rats.

An Edinburgh (Scotland) professor
in a recent letter to newspaper sug.
gests new work for wounded soldiers.
Apropos Of the suggested tax on cats,
he says: In place of taxing cats, !
would urge the government to organ
ize, not after the war but now, fully
equipped and efficient department for
the determination of rats, and employ
wounded soldiers to do the mechanical
part Of it. The systematic breeding,
collecting and distributing of types
of cats known to be superior ratters
would comprise an important section
of the work. but, to make clean
sweep of the most destructive anima'
pest from which the country groans
much light labor and personal super
vision, and a good deal of simple lab
oratory work under scientific expert
guidance would be necessary. BY this
means many men whom the country
will be In duty bound to support, might
find congenial employment not to men
ton the saving to the country of an
enormous sum of taxable wealth.

SUPPLY OF RUNNING WATER
Pedal Attachment for Washstands 10
the Latest Contrivance to Insure
Purity Of Liquid.

Hot or cold water flows from the
same spigot and the handles on the
washstand faucet have been rendered
obsolete by q new arrangement, which
provides q foot control for the flow OF
water. Sanitary cleanliness is the
prime object of the new arrangement,
but convenience is also an important
consideration.
In the state of Illinois 1t Is COM
pulsory to supply running water in
factories and such places, and simi-
lar measures have been enacted or
are under consideration in other
states, the object being to prevent
the contamination which is likely to
occur when the washstand Is used
in common. The pedal attachment is
placed under the washstand few
inches inside of the front line and to
one side, preferably the right side,
and connections are made with two
valves located under the washstand
The location of the pedal is con.
venient to the foot and the pressure
exerted in the center of the pedal
causes a mixture to issue from the
spigOt, while II the foot is shifted to
the right or left the temperature is
made hotter or colder as desired.
