grave consideration before expressing
himself as to what the people back
home would desire him to do. The
good legislator should have at least
three qualifications, honesty, intelii-
gence and backbone, especially the lat

can depend on him to stay put. once
his Intentions are known.

forenoonsit was to convene Monday

Aside from the passage of four bills,
among them the bill to repeal the
Perry prohibitory law enacted two
years ago, and the introduction by
Mr.. Williams of Pawlet, of a bill to
repeal the direct primary law, the
House did little of Importance on the

The introduction Of the bill to wipe
the primary law off the statute books
has caused no end of discussion and
it is almost sure to provide some inter-
esting sessions and debates later in the
session. The bill will probably be
more or less supported by members
from the smaller towns because tits
felt in some quarters that the law en-
ables the larger communities to take
more than their share of offices. The
primary law undoubtedly has some
defects as drawn two years ago but
bills have been, or are being, prepared

Of eliminating these defects and there.

 INTRODUCED AS
 NEW AUTO ART

Deception, of some kinds. thinks Jos. McAller of the Kissel Auto company, may sometimes be an entirely pustifi able practice.
 Out of California comes the word that "camouflaging" will soon be a national art among Americas famous artists, classicists, cubists and impress sonists.
 To automobile owners, this is of special interest, for it is the motor car that is first being roped, tied and 'camouflaged.'
 Imagine your automobile being so decorated that standing still or nov ing at any speed, it will prove in visible to the eye at a short distance!
 That is what is called "camoufiag ing your car. In other words, paint ing 1t so that il looks like what it 'ain'ti"
 Of such tremendous import is this at that the government has taken it under it's wing, and the colony of artists who formed this society spread the study all over the country, unti the government took cOgniZance of the movement and absorbed all the vari- ous societies under a government de- partment.
 W. L. Hughson, of KisselKar fame or the Pacific coast, well known for his patriotic foresight of preparedness by originating motor car classes to prepare women for war times and

other patriotic measures, has donated the famous Kissel military scout car recently used to blaze the three na tion run" from Canada to Mexico over the proposed new military highway iii record time.
 A committee of three prominent San Francisco artists have been dele gated to paint this c4- with color patches which suggest nothing except the surrounding earth, trees, grain fields, sky, etc, resuit;n@ in the car blending in with it's surroundings, and will be an exact facsimile of the cars now being used by ,Se allies along the various war fronts.
 When completely "camouflaged' the disguised car will start on a long tour to familiarize people with this very important addition to our military fife.
 This study of camouflaging is al most unknown to the people of this country, having had it's birth during the war 1t is one of the consequences of the growing importance of aero lanes in warfare. It is the disguise and conceaiment of military things. the art of making them look like something harmless and uninteresung to an observer. The great bulk Of this work is quite simple and con sists in concealing batteries and equipment by means of obvious nat ural materials, such as trees, bushes, grass, rocks, etc, the question in the main being to make them look like harmless details of the landscape
 More complicated questions arose. Roads had to be screened for miles. both at the sides and frcrl above. Village streets had to be made to loo-- empty, while great armies passed be- hind a painting of times q quarter of {. half-i1ie of painted canvas used as a foreground. New bridges had to he tic den so completely that no observer could distinguish them. Rail road tran.s were so disguised that they melted into their surroundings.

WOMEN ENGINE WlPERS

SPOKANE, Wash, Ngv. 3.-Women engine wipers here and at other divi sion points on the Great Northern and the Northern Pacific railroads in this state like their work and prefer it to housework. c. H. Younger state labor commissioner, declared here recently after an inspection trip to the railroad shops of the state.
 The vmen in the employ of the Northern Pacific here work 10 hours a day, but receive time and a half for the last hour, he said. In Pasco and Ellensburg women engaged at the same work for the Northern Pacific work eight hours day, as do women coach cleaners in the employ of the Pullman company.

 To organize them for helpful games and occupations, to employ their pow CTS in any useful way, to teach, to sup ply books. musical instruments writ ing materials, clothing, to put them in communication with their families. to help them to the consultations of their own religion, and to lead them on to help themselves and face life with new hope-thiS is to rebuild a new tissue of civilization out of these pathetic groups of humanity.
 Each of the warning nations is doing all it can for the prisoners in it's hands; but their enormous numbers and the concentration of all the nations ener- gies on the fight for life leave only bare necessities for prisoners. One young American in a camp where there are 10000 prisoners has organized nearly two thousand Austrian and German prisoners into classes studying a score of subjects.
