LOCKS ON DOORS A PUZZLE
Architects Wonder Why People Insist
on Having Locks Through
out the House.

II has long been a question with
architects why people should have
doors throughout the house SO com
pletely equipped with locks. Why.
for example. should all the closet and
bedroom doors have locks? Did you
ever lock your bedroom door? Prob
ably not. IL may be desirable to put
locks on closet doors. DO not put a
lock on door just because ii is a
door. Perhaps, after all, you will
never lock II. At any event a bolt
or thumb turn will serve all the
purposes OF a lock and you will not
have key to look after.
However, II should be said that a
mortised latch will usually cost more
than bit key lock. OF course II you
have small boy In the house you
will want lock on the pantry door.
Some people have thought II desirable
TO have one closet in the house
equipped with a good cylinder lock.
Such a closet may come in very handy
at certain times. perhaps II for moth
ing else than as a space in which to
store the family skeleton.

ODD SENTENCE FOR THIEF
Given Ninety Days in Jail for Stealing
Ninety Ladies' Night Gowns
From ClothesIines.

Police of Detroit station are kept
busy explaining to persons who wan
der into the back room there and find
II looking like a Monday morning In
the back yard of young woman's
seminary. Draped from chairs, tables,
doorknobs and ropes are sixty dainty,
filmy silk nighties of all hues and sizes
and conditions of servitude.
They are. so the explanation goes,
the results of the labors of Joseph
Labedz, who is a fancier of these gar
ments. Labedz has been in Detroit
four months, having come from Chi
cago. In that time he has collected
ninety silk nighties from various back
yards in the north end, he admits.
He was arrested when Mrs Sydney
o. Mills missed three of the dainty
garments from her washllne. Police
were notified They arrested Labedz.
He was wearing all three of the
nighties as underwear.
Labedz pleaded guilty before Judge
Charles l.. Bartlett In Recorders
court. He was sentenced to ninety
days in the house of correction, one
FOR each nightie.

satisfactory substitute has been found
in the flax lily, which grows in abun-

grow admirably in many parts of

a yield of 2,240 pounds to the acre.

MANY WOMEN
AVOID OPERATIONS
Through the Use of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Two Interesting Cases

Some female troubles may through
neglect reach a stage when an oper-
alton is necessary. But most of the
common ailments are not the surgical
ones; they are not caused by serious
displacements, tumors or growths, al
though the symptoms may appear
the same. When disturbing ailments
first appear, take Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound to re-
lieve the present distress and pre-
vent more serious troubles. Many
letters have been received from wo-
men whohav been restored to health
by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound after operations have been
advised by attending physicians

Surprise Party for Miss coburn

Tuesday evening Miss Elizabeth
Coburn was given a delightful Halo
we'en surprise party at her home on
Second street. Miss Coburn, who
had been the unsuspecting guest Of a
friend, returned to her home in the
early evening wondering why the hall
and house were so dark and quiet.
When she opened the door a skeleton
swung out at her and on the dimly
lighted stairs she beheld masked fig
ures in Halloween array. These
proved to be friends and schoolmates
all ready for a Halloween frolic.
One and all We're dressed in quaint
Halloween costumes displaying the
orange and black. Caps and bon
nets added to the effect.
The rooms were chamingly deco
rated. In the living room the CEN
trail lights were yelled in orange and
black and witches, bats and black
cats were everywhere about The
dining room was particularly at
tractive. The wide windows had q
band of orange and gold adorned
with witches. The punch table be-
low had cloth of gold and black and
a punch bowl in the same colors. For
central lights were orange and black
lanterns. In the center dangled a
huge black cat. At the places were
place cards, favors and dainty candy
baskets of orange and black. The
centerpiece was bouquet of crysan-
themums surrounded by a circle of
witches, within the circle were
punches of candy flowers. The We
randa was gay with Japanese Ian
terms and lighted also by huge
pumpkin. A still larger pumpkin
was the hall lamp. Even Miss CO.
burns room where the guests left
their wraps shared in the general
decoration. =
Games appropriate to the season
were played and others that had
possibilities of fun. One, the donkey
game, was most popular. A witch
was present and told fortunes. Music
added to the pleasure of the evening.
