ALL RESPECT POWER OF MACE
Emblem Of Authority Raised in House
of Representatives Has Mar
veiousiy Quieting Effect.

The American house of represent
atives is modelled closely after the
house of commons. and at the time OF
its organization the mace was also
adopted as its symbol of authority.
The first one to be used was destroyed
when the British burned the capitol
building at Washington in 1914. and
from that time down to 1S42 a model
of the original. made of painted wood,
was used. In the latter year the pres
ent mace was made and put into use.
1t is composed of bundle of ebony
rods, three feet long. bound together
by silver bands, after the manner of
the fasces. From the center of one end
protrudes slender silver stem. r pre-
sentative of the AK of the ancient
models. On this Is mounted solid sill
yer globe, five inches in diameter.
while crowning the top of this globe
stands silver eagle with outstretch-
ed wings.
This is the emblem of the house
and whenever that body becomes un-
ruly, as often happens, and the speaker
is unable to restore order, the SER
geant-at-arms is summoned and, lift
Ing the mace from Its place on the
pedestal, raises 1t aloft and carries 1t
up and down the aisles. Order is
instantly restored every member sinks
into his seat and absolute silence
reigns.
Such is the power of the mace.
Every member must respect its author
ity, and should any fail to do so, he
is liable to II heavy fine or even ex-
pulsion.

HOUSES IN TWO TOWNS
Liquor 10 Delivered at Back Door,
But Front 10 Dry.


But Front 10 Dry.
A question that Solomon in all his
glory never had to decide Is now
puzzling the brain of Chief e. w.
Ferguson Of the Santa Monica (Cal)
police department. Is the delivery Of
liquor at the Venice back door of
house whose front door is in Santa
Monica a delivery Of liquor in the
latter city? is the prcslem that stumps
the chief.
The houses that face on the south
side of Marine street are bisected by
the line that marks the city limits Of
Santa Monica and Venice. Recently
dealers have been delivering certain
cases and packages at back doors Of
these houses that II delivered at the
front doors in "bone dry" Santa Mon
lea would subject the delivery men to
arrest.
"This matter stumps me-" said the
chief. eve cannot arrest them for
delivering the liquor in Venice and
it is hardly a violation of the ordi-
nances against delivering liquor to
homes in Santa Monica to move 1t
from one part Of the house to an
other" ys---+s -

LIGHT FROM A BROKEN
iNcANDESCENT LAMP

Some types CT incandescent lamps
can he made to furnish light for a
while when the filament is broken.
If possible, this can be accomplished
as follows: With the electricity turn
ed on and the lamp in a socket at
tached to card ESQ that it. can be
turned in various positions) move
the lamp quickly sidewise so as to
throw the longer portion OF the
broken filament over against its
neighbor. AS soon as contact is
made, the lamp win light, and due to
the intense heating effect at the
point of contact the pcrticns of fila
ment are softened enough to stick
together The lamp will burn with
greater brilliancy and in a short time
the filament will fail in another
place. 1t may last long enough to
permit one to get new lamp at a
more convenient time.-L. S. Foltz.

SURE TO COME-WHY NOT NOWs

Within two years after peace mas
been declared the universal compul-
sorry military training bill will take
its place on the statute books OF the
United States. This is as certain as
the ultimate triumph Of right over
might in the present war.
Germany, had she not been reason
ably certain that it would take the
United States many months to get
fighters to the trenches, would never
have played her hand so boldly
would have been more reluctant to
stir America to action.
It is silly to say that civilized peo-
ples will not war with each other
We would frown upon the statement
that accidents never happen. 4 per-
feet lady is apt to do some unlady-
like thing if sufficiently aroused. AMI
civilized world is apt to do some un-
civilized thing when the waters be-
come troubled
Those who say that posterity will
get a lesson from this war are right
but it will be from histories. Pos
terity will never know the tragedy o!
today as we know it. So we can't
figure too strongly on the benefits pos
terity will get from knowing about
the great world war. POsterity may
60 along without a war, and again Il
may push aside our histories and OF,
admonitions and 60 to battle to suf-
fer and die for what it believes is
right.
We can't regulate posterity; we car
only take our lesson as we get 1t now
and by doing the logical thing pre-
