wish to call your attention and that of the general public to the oo- jectionable condition of many or the canvas awnings which overhang the sidewalks in the downtown part or the city, said Mayor Allyn L. Brown just after the August meeting of the court of common council had opened in the council chamber on Monday evening. Some of these awnings are so low as to strike the face of a person walking upon the sidewalk, and many others are so lew as to interfere. with the hats or umbrellas of persons walking under them. Because of the manner in which some of the buildings to which some of the awnings are attached ana constructed, l do not believe 1t feaSl- ble to III all cases provide for suff1- cient clearance so that an umbrella or parasol could be carried by a person on the walks without interference with the awnings. I am satisfied. however, that for the safety of people on the street, as we'll as a matter Of public convenience, no awning or any part Of the same which overhangS a public sidewalk should be allowed lower than seven feet above the level or the side walk. I have accordingly instructed the street commissioner. under power which is given to him sy the charter and ordinances, to see to it that all awnings are made to comply with this requirement.. I hope that the owners of such awnings as need to be changed will cooperate with the street com missioner in remedying the existing conditions, and that results bene- fcial to the general public may be obtained as have already been accom- plished m the case of other sidewalk Instructions and Cverhanging signs.
 The meeting was called to order a few minutes after 8 o'clock and the minutes of the previous meeting took the usual course,
 Asked for Committee Report
 Alderman Waters said that in look ing over the council journal he had noticed a bill for $500 which had been ordered paid Councilman F. l.. Arnold for personal services and that there was no committee report. He thought that a report ought to be made.
 Alderman Dolbeare said that the matter had been referred to a joint committee and that the money had been paid for work done by MT. Ar mold in connection with the widening of Thames street. The bill had been referred to the public works commit tee and was passed upon at the last council meeting.

Visited DanieIson to Inspect Chinsss
 Coin $50 Years old.

An exhibit that Is attracting a good deal of attention Is a large Chinese coin in c. W. Hales window. says the Transcript, of Danielson.
 The coin originally belonged Co Dar- jus Marcy. a man -o-Tvars-man who left it to Ed. Warren when he died
 For a long time Mr- Warren gave the coin little though, but a shore tir1e ago he was visited by two Mougoliana from Norwich who asked 10 see the piece of oriental money.
 After examining it one or them da- clared that the coin was at least three hundred and fifty years old and said that if he had it he would return Co China and buy an island large enough to raise his own tea and rice.
 It contains the name of the emperor in whose reign # was coined. together with his home and a brief history of his birth. There seems to be no other coin like it in these parts.
 Whether Mir. Warren will decide 70 buy that island i1 CIina with it ig not yet certain. IT he does we hope he will not forget 10 send a supply Of rice and ten to his friends in Daniel son.

NEW APPLE GRADE LAW
OF BENEFIT TO GROWERS
Protects Honest Shippers Without
Working Hardship and Checks
Dishonest Ones.

That every grower Of Wisconsin ap
pies who has the best interest Of the
industry at heart and full share Of
state pride should conform cheerfully
to the requirements of the new law
defining the grades of apples sold in
closed containers is the opinion Of
James G. Moore, hOrticulturist at the
College of Agriculture, University of
Wisconsin.
The new law protects the honest ap-
pie grower and checks the dishonest
ones. It should work no hardship on
anyone who aims to do an honest bust
ness and will do much to uphold the
high standard of product which Wis
consin is so earnestly trying to main
tain in the fruit market.
The enforcement Of the law is vested
in the state department Of agricul-
ture which is authorized to make in
spections of apples grown in Wisconsin
and sold or offered for sale in closed
containers, either inside of the state
or out of it. There are four standard
grades fixed by the law, with a toll
erance Of from 5 to Is per cent in the
first three classes.
According to the law every closed
apple container sent On the market
from Wisconsin must conform to one
of the four grades and be legibly
marked with the name and address of
the person by whose authority the fruit
was packed, the true name Of the va
riety where known, the grade of the
apples, and the minimum size or nu-
merical count of the apples in the pack
age. The letters and figures on the
box must be Of heavy type at least
one-half an inch long.
The grades are, to list them briefly:

earning their living on the land, serves
to show the confidence which public
men possess in state institutions
which are maintained for training in
food production.
Knowing that some farm boys will
hesitate this year to enter school or
college because of the big demand for
help at high wages, Judge Siebecker
is urging them not to allow high prices
and high wages to blind them to this
truth: that in farming, no matter how
splendid the profits, there is always a
cost. 81 would ask young men this
question, Have you reckOned the cost?
Do you know how to find it? And af-
ter you have found it, do you know
how to reduce costs in farming by sci
entific management?
Remembering this, consider Wheth-
er q course in agriculture would not
greatly simplify and clarity these prob
lens for you and make your profits
surer and greater in the long run"

SAVE SILKS AND WOODS
BY SPECIAL WASHING
Strong Soap Suds and Powders Are
Avoided by Wise Housewives in
Cleaning Precious Fabrics.

"WOOl and silk cost too much to ruin
them by careless methods Of washing"
said a Wisconsin housewife who had
learned better ways of washing silks
and flannels and was doing her "bit'
by suggesting means of conserving the
supplies Of these precious fabrics.
: II got my first tip" she declared
from a woman at farmers course,
and what she said about the right way
to launder silk shirts, flannel shirts
or blankets, I have remembered and
tried with repeated success. Here is
the recipe as it was given to me by this
home economics worker from the col
lege of agriculture:
Soak flannel shirts for about an
hour in a liberal supply of cold or
lukewarm soap suds. Stir them very
lightly in the water until they are
clean.
'Do not rub them On a dashboard.
Rinse in lukewarm water. Wiring out
carefully and hang up at once to dry.
Select a shady spot in summer and
sunny one in winter. Avoid all
strong soap suds and washing pow
ders.
Wash silk shirts In the same man
ner. Use a little warmer water and
be careful to rinse we'll. Never boil
the water or tightly wiring or twist
the garments. Release pressure on
the Wringer.
Never use water more than luke
warm in any part of the process. In
making a stock soap solution for wash
ing woolens or silk, this recipe is ex-
cellent:
Zone scent cake of white, high
grade laundry soap, shaved into small
pieces; one quart of water, heated I'M
til soap dissolves; one cupful of borax.
This solution is enough for a pair
of blankets. In washing them, use
enough cold water to cover Let them
stand overnight in the suds. RIMS on"
lightly and hang carefully un1i' the
are dry"
