Des Moines, Iowa, Jan. 3.-Four
bills affecting relations between cities
and street car companies, all Of which

from paying for pavement between the
tracks: permissive legislation allow

Select Shades Carefully.

Shades which work satisfactorily
are OF the greatest Importance with
electric lights. according To William
kunerth of the physics department a.
Iowa State College. They have = murg
different use than mercly .pr err
mental purposes
Shades do not increase the light bu
merely change the direction of the rays.
OraleScent glass is much better for use
with tungtson bulbs since il ahsorbs the
intense brightness and yet does not
spoil the quality of the light Ordinary
glass does not do this.
In placing shades do not turn the
light so that it shines up but turn it
down and outward. Remember that
lights are designed to aid the eyes and
do not miSdirect the rays Use Il light
that is large enough for the needs of
the room. If light is wanted for bril-
lance do not shade it down. Where
subdued light is desired fancy shades
are all right but for work or reading
the simple shade is much better and
more satisfactory.

in Hawaii in 1921 with comparatively

Source, Hawaiian planters will receive
an average price of not more than six
cents for next years crop On the

indications for an increased consump-
