A Political Move.

Those opposed to the new dog bill
declare that the recent draft, which
they say has been primarily drawn up
to protect the sheep of Massa chusetts,
is needless. The climate, the high
value of land, the scarcity of pastur-
age, and the small knowledge the
farmers of Massachusetts have of
sheep culture, is responsible, they
claim, for the decline Of sheep grow
ing in the Bay State.

New York, Dec. 21.-The 800 in
sane patients at the Essex County
hospital, at Cedar Grove, n. j., are
suffering esrious discomfort and in
some cases mourning danger from the
complete collapse of the
heating and lighting plant of the in
stitutiOn. The sleeping quarters of
the inmates are practically without
heat, and have been Sc during the re-
cent cold snap; the laundry is being
operated by the power of the county
stea mroller. which has been backed
up against the wall, and the manage
ment of the institution has even been
trying to borrow a locomotive from
one of the railroads to furnish steam
for heating and power.
During the 20 days since the first
of December there have been "a
eight for the entire month last year.
There have also been 80 cases of
frostbite in the last three weeks.
The seriousness of the situation re-
ceived official recognition when DR..
Guy Payne, the medical superintend-
ent, sent the following letter to the
nearest relative of each of the pa
tents:
1--WE feel it our duty to notify you
that the wards of our institution arc
practically without heat and our pa
TENTS are far from comfortable.
While it is not officially admitted
this letter has been widely construed
as an invitation to the relatives al
of Io yyhn

til such time as the heating plant. is
again in running order. DR.. Payne
would not admit that the increase III
the death rate is due to the lack OF
heat, but no other reason has beer
ascribed.

HITS AUTO TRADE

The Studebaker agency reports
great difficulty in obtaining freight
cars to handle its business. Most of
the Chicago territory is cared for from
the South Bend, Und.) factory, how.
ever. The Ford company's local as.
semblng plant has had difficulty in
obtaining parts, which come by the
carload. The Cadillac reported some
overland deliveries.
The Dodge agency has had crew
of twenty men regularly on the road
since before Christmas. running cars
through to Chicago as fast as possible,
at times making three deliveries a
week from Detroit. Some of their
cars are being shipped in by express.
The Overland expects soon to start
cross.country delivery from its factory
at Toledo.
Some relief from the general freight
congestion is looked for next week
by local officials.
"The situation Is acute" said II. G..
Barlow, traffic manager of the Asso.
citation of Commerce, but the rail.
roads are putting forth heroic efforts
to relieve 1t. With moderate weather
things will ease up in few days.
"The combination of congested east.
ern terminals, severe snowstorms and
extraordinary domestic traffic has
been too much. The roads are han

Patent Telephone Device.

A patent has just been granted for
a remarkable device i'm the telephone
field and is on exhibition at the office
of the Standard Telephone Repair
Company at 100 North Fifth avenue.
This little attachment which can be
placed on any magnetic telephone is
especially intended for use on rural
party lines where perhaps a dozen
telephones are used on single cir
cult and are intended to give each
party absolutely private service. The
party line telephone has always been
very unsatisfactory for the simple
reason that too many people are in.
clined to take down the receiver and
listen to the conversation of others.
This little attachment is a marvel
of simplicity and yet accomplishes
most startling results. It not only
gives private service but enables a
number of conversations to be carried
on simultaneously on the same wire
SO simple is the device that any tele.
phone man can quickly attach IL with.
out even removing the telephone from
the wall
Mr.. J. Skinderviken, the inventor
and patentee of this wonderful little
piece of mechanism, is also the in.
ventor of an electric automatic train
stop system which electrical engin.
GERS say Is marvel.
Mr.. Skinderviken is president and
general manager of the Standard Tele.
phone Repair Company. He is one of
the pioneers in the telephone field and
has been with government and hide.
pendent telephone companies for over
quarter of century. Most of his
time has been spent in Norway, his
native country. He is. however, rec.
ognized expert in the telephone field
in all its various branches in this
country and Canada.

NEW TRADES FOR WOMEN

Are you a woman, and out of a job? Or are you looking for employ ment either because husband or bro ther has joined the colors or because the high cost of living would make a little extra week a big thing for the family, or because you want to help the country produce more so that the war may be brought to speedier conclusion?
 If so. why not enter a trade where you will release men for national service? Remember to demand the same wages as men, for it is not pa triOtism to lower the standard of wages, but appeal to the patriotism of the employer to train you into the new trade rather than a man.
 The Woman's Group Executive Committee of the Fabian Society sug gested new trades for English wo- men back in March, 1915. It was more patriotic. they claimed. for wo- men to take jobs in these trades than to volunteer their services free of charge. They are making their employment commercially self-sup- porting and releasing men simultan- eously.
 One of these trades is that con nected with the preserving and bot tlng Cor canning) of fruit in jelly form. A plant for such purpose was established in England in which wo- men were engaged at regular wage es by the aid of grant from the National Relief fund. Another such trade is the drying of vegetables for sale in preserved form.
 The revival of handknitting sup plies the market with goods of a better quality or goods not other wise obtainable, and so is especially to be commended Fancy leather stationery and metal work trades are especially adapted to women.
 There is no longer reason why there should not be increased em ployment of women in the govern ment offices and in banks Artistic work in the printing trade ought to appeal to them, and the making of toys and dolls, formerly imported from Germany, offers a large field
 It is further suggested that the artistic handicrafts, so common be- fore machine-m goods came upon the commercial scene, be revived. Hand-loom weaving, for example,
