Good Light, a
Laundry Need

Abundant vlight should be supplied
to laundry rooms. Here is carried on
work involving close inspection;
color values become important, and
therefore a high-powered daylight"
lamp so placed that it will illuminate
tubs and washing machine is essential.
This is usually inclosed in a central
fixture, provided with diffusing
translucent or opal glass shade. If
there is an ironing machine or ironing
board in the laundry, this also must
be given illumination. 1t is easy to
scorch fabrics, the yellow tint being
imperceptible except under daylight
or the artificial light provided by the
daylight" lamp. Perfectly equipped
'laundries~ are given individual lights,
operating by pull chains, over washing
machines and ironing machines. Should
the room be small, one fixture may
sufficiently illuminate all these appli-
ances; but if it is large, the light
should not be stinted. All basement
lights may be controlled by a switch
at the head of the basement stair
way. Pull chains on these lights per-
mits at the same time turning them on
or off Individually.

NEW LICENSE FEES GO
INTO EFFECT NOW

Madison, Wis.-Sellers Of "soda wat
err" must pay a fiat 81 license fee to
the town or city in which they are
located.
Sellers of Notwithstanding liquors"
will pay local license fees of from SIS
to 800, the size to be determined by
the common council or town or village
board. Heretofore the municipal gov
eminent has been required to fix its
fees between $50 and 100.
Dentists and physicians do not have
to pay an annual $40 fee to purchase
and use alcohol for the purpose of
sterilizing their instruments.
These are the provisions of the KAN
Ike bill, which became law with Gov.
Blaine's signature today.
The bill gives the local governing
boards power to decsease the license
fee for sellers of notwithstanding"
liquor, which includes near-beer and
other beverages containing a small
amount of alcohol.
Pops, coca-cola, buttermilk "and 9TH
er beverages better known as soda
water" are required to pay the 81 fee,
which is new provision.
Dentists and surgeons under the pre-
vious law were required to payTthe $40
fee for alcohol for sterilizing purposes.
Physicians who prescribed liquor in
addition were required to pay a $40
fee, and this fee is left as it is.

The next time brisk young in
surance agent buttonholes you to
induce you to take out life and &C
cident insurance, ask him if he
knows that pirates who sailed the
Spanish Main and singed the
beard of the Don of Spain" were
the originators of both life and
accident insurance. Of course he
will think you are spoofng him.
But you can quote from the latest
and most authoritative history of
the pirates. 1t is "The Real Story
of the Pirate, by A. Hyatt Yer
rill, published by D. Appleton &
Co.
In the year 1910 piracy was a
recognized business, and before
a pirate captain set forth he dis
cussed the details of the expedi-
ton with the Adventures who raj
lied around him. The following in
surance provisions were then writ
ten into the articles, according to
"The Real Story of the Pirate:
Finally the matter OF indemnity
or accident insurance was adjust
ed and embodied in these articles.
Thus, for the loss of life or a
right arm, six hundred pieces of
eight or six slaves would be agreed
upon: for a left arm, five hundred
pieces of eight or FIVE slaves: for
a right leg, five hundred pieces of
eight or five slaves; for left leg,
four hundred pieces of eight or
four slaves; for an eye or a finger
or hand, one hundred pieces of
eight or one slave. Slaves were
always valued at one hundred

MANY IMMIGRANTS
FACE DEPORTATION
Great Steamers to Race for Quarantine
in an Effort to Get
Passengers Admitted.
tBy Associated Press Leased wire)


New York, N. Y. - Sixteen steam
ships, their rails lined with 1000
aliens who have forsaken their home
lands, rode at anchor outside Ambrose
lightship today waiting for the strike
of midnight to dash for quarantine
with admittance to the United States
of their immigrant passengers as
their goal.
Heart breaking scenes are expected
by immigration officials as many of the
immigrants who hope to gain entry to
America under the July quotas of
their respective countries, face depof-
tation because of the excessive num-
bers seeking admission.
Fully $4,000 passengers are aboard
twenty steamships that will enter this
port tomorrow and Monday. Most of
them are immigrants.
The midnight race will be timed by
three official watches so that there
will be no dispute about the first to
reach Quarantine. One watch will be
kept by the Postal Telegraph, another
by the Western Union, and the third
by Ellis Island officials.
Many aliens on slow vessels still
steaming across the Atlantic, will have
made the journey in vain. They will
be sent back to Europe without charge
on the steamships that brought them.

One of the most successful was
no less a person than the Earl of

Early in the eighteenth century

Have You a Night
Light In Your Home?

Every girl loves to dress doll; and
this year the passion may be INDUCED
without danger of being considered
childish, because dolls are the fad of
the hour. They make telephone COW
ers, dressed in skirts that suggest our
grandmother girlhood days;
they cover powder boxes, pincushions,
or workbaskets.
Prettiest of all are the dollies which
surmount frames over which are
stitched quaint and fascinating lamp
shades. Little night-lights covered
with graceful lady whose skirts
spread in tiers Of ribbon and lace into
dainty shade are both useful and
ornamental.
Unusually the dresses for these dolls
are made in exaggerated period style;
the body, head and arms being of por-
celain, with couture and expression of
varying types, these giving the key to
the costome chosen for these dainty
ladies. Hats are built to suit the CO.'S
tunes, and considerable dressmaking
skill can be worked into creating the
outfit.
Most department store or art shops
handle the doll and frame, usually
with connecting cord, plug and socket
all complete. The prices on these are
attractively low, and there is no rea-
son every girl should not have one of
these attractive lamps for her own
room.
One particularly fetching little lady
of-the lamp has gown of soft pink
taffeta, trimmed with wheels of mar
row ribbon of a deeper pink. Others
make use of lace in dull gold or silver,
draped over lining skirts of amber,
rose, or any preferred tint. These
little lamps may be made to place
here and there, according to taste;
and they add many soft, glowing spots
of color to room. The lamps are of
very low wattage, hence consume but
a trifling amount of current.
