Percheron stations out of broncho

her to thoroughbred sire, and
usually got such mares In foal, the re-

crosses to both thoroughbred and
Percheron sires, 80 that we have
horses carrying various degrees Of
thoroughbred blood-from u to y

WASHINGTON. Feb 90 - - Uncle
Jos - Cannon, who viii retire form the
house OF representatives at the end OF
his present term after service OF 10
wears, declared yesterday in an open
letter TO his Republican constituents OF
the 18th Illinois district that the time
had come for old heads TO give way to
young hearts, alert and active minds
and vigorous bodies.
Writing, as he explained, on the golden
anniversary OF his first election to the
| house. Cannon said that in turning back
his commission he did not wish TO shirk
any responsibility OF public duty, but
simply to open the door OF opportunity

Addressed to My Fellow Republicans
of the 18th District Cannon 5 letter
said in part
The Illinois legislature having adj
vaneed the primary from August to
April, the Republicans of the 18th con
gresslonal district will in two months
select candidate for representative. L
will not be Il candidate and make this
announcement now, that none OF my
friends shall be influenced by sentiments
Of personal loyalty TO me in Withholding
declaration of their own candidates or
in giving their support to others.

and | appreciate that confidence more
than | can express. / have tried TO
merit it. but it has been said that all
that grow grow old. and while l hope
[ have grown in wisdom. | realize that
/ have grown old in years.
- Younger man will take my place
in the house, get acquainted with the
machinery of legislation and soon be
equipped to meet every emergency that
may come to a representative, be it in
Iternati0nal misunderstanding or domeS-
! tic trouble growing out of idealistic but
| Impractical teachings at home. / have
confidence that my successor, whoever he
may be. will not alone represent the 10
cal and perhaps selfish interests of the
/ 18th district, but also the broader ma
tional sentiment and interests of the
| American people: for if have been
| credited with supporting policies for
the benefit OF the whole people, regard
i less OF section or industry, it has been
! largely due to the fact that | represent
/ people who took the same COmprehen-

NEW USE FOR A SHELL.
Is Used in Better Glass Philippine House
for Window Glass.


The placenta she'll, found in abundance
in the Southern Philippine Islands, of
fers a unique. practical and decorative
resource in home adOrnment.
Being fairly fiat and roughly circular,
translucent and up to three inches in
diameter and about one-siXteenth inch
thick, the placcnta ~hell serves the bet
ter class of Philippine house in place of
glass. The strong tropical light is pleas
Ingly modified as 1t passes through the
shell-panes held together by wooden
strips or lead bands.
\ gentleman who has lived in Manila
and travelled the Philippines extensively,
says that windows of placenta shells are
almost the inyariablc rule in houses that
have covered windows, very little COM
merclal glass being used in the islands.
Decoratively, the placenta she'll should
find many uses. Ii is already being
worked up by the Philippines, under
American direction, into lamp shade
frames in most pleasing shapes. The
shells are being imported into San Fran
cisco, the freightage being about SIS per
ton equivalent to about 40 cubic feet of
spacel. They are being sold in Frisco at
S25 per l,O0O shells, chiefly to repair
objects IN placeHta shell that have be-
come damaged in transit from Manila.
1t seems that the placenta shell might
find limited application in furniture
as IN cabinet door inserts of medallions
in panels, in wood OF metal screens
where the vision but not the light Is to
be barred
But the greatest use of this curiously
beautiful shell would seem to lie in the
domain of the lighting fixtures and lamp
industry, where effects can be produced
by transmitted light in a sure and most
charming manner
Since the shells are light gray in color
| value, they will harmonic in any en-
virOnment. In fact, they will take on
| the tonal character of any environment
| in which they are placed without obtrud-
ing their color into the picture. In this
| respect, they may be found even more
| useful than the far-famed alabaster of
| ancient days.
The virtues of the placenta shell as
| an illuminant are worthy of investiga
| ton by the lighting fixture industry
