Frightening a Dark Room.

Is there a room in your apartment
or house that is not attractiyel Or
is there a dark, cherries room in your
house that you unconsciously avoid
But do you realize that it may be
largely responsible for certain de-
pressed feeling that possesses you
whenever you spend time in it How
ever, in any case, there are several
ways Of Frightening dark room
First, il it be out Of the question
to add extra windows to your dark
room, make the best of the windows
you already have, See that they are
always clean clean windows make
more difference than one might think,
says the Springfield Republican In
winter always remove the screens
screens shut out much light White
or yellow shades are preferable to dark
green ones Curtains of simple, Thin
material that can be easily slid back
on the rods are best. In some rooms
side draperies, about one foot wide,
of dainty cretonne are pretty substi-
tutes for curtains
Second. if you can afford little car
penter work. probably the windows are
the best thing to change a northern
room, particularly, is improved with
the addition of a number of large win
dows, and any room with extra light
gains spaciousness and eheerfulness
that makes il pleasant TO occupy The
window seat or bay also makes a cosy

MORE PUBLIC FORESTS.
Are Recommended to American Paper
and Pulp Association.

New York, Nov. l4Public owner
ship Of national or state timberlands,
with private cutting and marketing Of
the older and larger sizes of timber was
urged in report of the committee on
forest conservation at the convention
OF the American Paper and Pulp asso-
citation here to day.
The committee, composed Of Frank L,
Moore OF Waterfowl, n ", d. A.
Croker W. u Haskell and r. s. KEEL
logg of New York. and c. II. Worcester
of Chicago, declared that any plan
looking toward the solution OF the
problem Of a permanent timber supply
must be adequate and practicable to
produce the needed results; just to all
interests concerned and acceptable to
the majority
Five recommendation by the com.
mittee included nationwide forest
survey; doubling the area Of public for
ests; better fire protection; uniform
forest taxation laws and increased
planting of trees. Every encouragement
said the report, should be offered by
the states to the owner Of forest lands,
who wishes to grow timber In the
case of refusal, the report said, "the
land should be acquired by the public at
a fair valuation and made part of the
system of public forests"

NEW EXPRESS PACKING.
Requirements Are to Be Put Into Eff
feet on Dec. 10.

Steps were taken to-day by Agent
G. +. Marsh, in charge Of the express
office, to prepare for the new express
packing requirements, which 60 into
effect on Dec. TO- He has been adyis-
ing express shippers to study the new
rules, which have been approved by the
United States railroad administration,
so that they may be able to adjust
their packing methods to the forth
coming standards.
Under the new regulations, all ship
ments sent by express weighing over
% pounds, must be packed in wooden
containers, or cartons Of fibre-board
pulpboard OF corrugated strawboard
material of specified test strengths. T"
This means that after Dee. 10 packages
over the % pound limit will not be ac-
cepted for forwarding by the American
Railway Express company, handling
the express business Of the entire coun-
try as agent OF the railroad admins
tration, if only paper wrapped. Nor
will ordinary paper boxes, wrapped or
unwrapped, be accepted as suitable pro-
lection for these heavier shipments
The regulations, however do not affect
shipments under 26 pounds.
Regular shippers, Agent Marsh stated
to-day. will be mystified by the new
regulations, as they follow very closely
the packing requirements long in
vogue in the freight service The ex-
press regulations, however, allow lit
tie more latitude in the size of the
carton used The enforcement of the
new rules was postponed until Dec. TO-
so that shippers would have plenty of
time to prepare themselves for this
change in the express packing stand
ards.
Agent Marsh expressed the opinion
that these rules will not work any
hardship on the shippers, but should
operate distinctly in their Interest, as
the rules provide additional safeguards
for merchandise in transit. Moreover,
they will establish uniformity of ex-
press packing rules which heretofore
has been lacking The new order does
not affect the movement of food prod
ucts by express, which are ordinarily
shipped in crates or barrels. We be-
lieve that the shipping public will wei
come the new standards when they un.
derstand them, and the reasons for put
ting them into effect.
Never before in the history of the
country has the express traffic reached
such proportions as it has assumed to-
day. At the same time, there has been
comparatively little increase in the
amount of car space available for the
business. Express companies have been
asked to carry heavier shipments and
commodities Of every conceivable kind.

Vermont Judge Jollied Prisoners.

A singular compound of law, good
sense and sarcasm characterized Elias
Reyes, one of the early Vermont
judges.
A disconsolate looking tramp was
once convicted before Judge Reyes of
the larceny of the boots Of Senator
Dudley Chase. The judge addressed
him as follows;
you are a poor creature and ought
to have known better than 10 steal.
Only rich men can take things without
paying for them And then you must
steal in the great town Of Windsor,
and the boots Of great man like Sen
ator Chase, the greatest man anywhere
around If you wanted to steal why
didn't you steal in some little town in
New Hampshire and the boots of some
man who wasn't Of any consequence?
And then you must steal from him
when he was on the way to Washing
ton and perhaps the only boots he had.
You might have compelled him to wait
until some shoemaker made him an
other pair, and shoemakers never keep
their promises. And perhaps by the
delay some important treaty might
have failed of ratification because he
was not present in the Senate"
Il have got to say that you seem to
know derned sight more about steal
ing boots nor what | dol" piped the
prisoner.
That is sound observation" he
said. Il will give you only one month
in the county Jail, and that not so
much for stealing as for your ignorance
in not knowing better than to steal the
boots Of great man like Senator bud.

Two Distilleries c. losing
Out in a Hurry Under
the Injunction
BUT THEY ARE LIABLE
TO PROSECUTION
If the Federal Supreme
Court Reverses Judge
Evans Decision

Louisville, Ky, Nov 1.-two local
distilleries sold whiskey openly in
Louisville to-day at $75 a case, regard
less of the wartime prohibition law.
Hundreds of orders, filed before July /,
when the war time law went into eff
feet, it was said, were being filled by
these distilleries, which resumed sales
following the granting of an injunction
to them yesterday by Federal Judge
Evans, restraining the government from
interfering with the sale of nearly a
million gallons OF floor stock" whis-
key.
Wright & Taylor and the Brown For
man companies, which RECEIVED the
temporary injunctions, expected to sell
all of their whiskey in hurry, it was
announced. They made their sales,
however, with the knowledge that they
are liable to prosecution, according to
District Attorney w. V. Gregory, if
the federal supreme court reverses
Judge Evans decision in an opinion it
is expected to make Nov 20.
Other Kentucky distillers apparently
were disposed not to ask for injunc-
tions and would await the supreme
courts decision as to wartime prohi-
bition laws constitutionality before
trying to dispose of their whiskey
stocks, which are said to approximate
100000 gallons
The case before the supreme court
was appealed TO it by the government
from previous decision of Judge Evans,
who held both the wartime law and
the enforcement acts were mconstitu
tional and granted the Kentucky distil-
leries and warehouse company an in
junction forbidding interference by the
government with sale Of 69,000,000 gall

New Light on Lusitania.

Millions of readers must be amazed
to learn that a parliamentary paper
making public in London the secret
evidence taken after the sinking of the
Lusitania shows that Capt. Turner Of
the doomed ship did not obey admiral
ty orders.
Americans saved from the Lusitania
and maritime experts generally
thought at the time that orders had
not been obeyed, but the great weight
of an official finding silenced criticism,
and in time even the Lusitania faded
into the background of new inhuman
tiles.
Yet the critics were right In the
brief secret session of the Mersey
board Capt. Turner admitted that he
had not steered zigzag; that he had
not gone full speed; that he had not
kept to midchannel, as he understood
there were submarines there. Excus-
ing the slow speed, he urged that full
speed would have brought him to the
bar before high tide. But zig2aggine
at "a knots would have brought him
there no sooner than straight sailing at
Is knots.
Probably Capt Turner shared with
other merchant seamen their costly
contempt for government 'meddling.'
They paid as class fearful penalty
The British admiralty may have feared
that publishing the full truth would
give aid and comfort to the enemy. As
in the case of the lost battleship Auda
eious, attempted secrecy as to facts
known to many people served finally
no purpose, unless it were to bring all
government reports under suspicion

tion there are other ways Of brighten
ing up the dark room.
There is a chance to make most any
room cosy with an open fire, if there
be fireplace. Brass andirons, and, if
there is mantel, brass candlesticks,
are attractive additions. During sum
mer months, a iardiniere of flowers
may be given a place between the
andirons.
Most flowers and plants are bright

amples that are best avoided Coleus,
