FUNDING LEGISLATION
BACK OF SHIP SUBSIDY
Senate Considers Bill Passed by
House but Shipping Bill Vote
to Come First.
(By Associated Press Leased Wire.l

by Associated Press Leased Wire.(
Washington, d. C.-Although the
State finance committee was meeting
today to consider legislation by which
the House approved the British debt
settlement agreement, the time Of
Senate action, it was problematical.
The House approved the debt agree
ment yesterday by vote of 291 to A,
only one Republican joining in a
minority of the Democratic members
in opposition.
The shipping bill had taen posi-
ton ahead of the funding legislation
in the Senate, Chairman Jones of the
commerce committee, having called up
the former measure yesterday imme-
ship bill would not be laid aside ex-
diately after passage Sof the army ap-
preparation bill. He announced the
cept by a vote of the Senate and its
consideration ahead of the debt legis-
lation was said by other Senate lead
ers to have the approval of President
Harding with whom Senator Jones con-
ferred early in the week.
Although movement was under
way today among some members of the
Senate farm bloc to get the shipping
bill laid aside in favor of a measure
proposed by Senator Capper, support
ers of the bill were confident the move
would be frustrated.

Lighting helps
to Furnish Home

the day of the big house for the
family of moderate size is passing"
said Mrs. G. Hill Griffith, wellknown
interior decorator of New York City.
''The tendency IN present-day home
planning, indeed. is toward compact
ness, simplicity, labor-saving in con
struction and housekeeping and stand
ardization in building operations and
electric wiring and installations. And
all these things are obtainable in a
correctly designed home without sac~~
ifcing- either home comfort CT beauty
of design; or beauty Of furnishing,
either
Indeed" continued the speaker,
''the electrical requirements laid down
as necessary to bring home up to
the standards of today are distinct
asset to the skilled interior decorator
Bedrooms of today are smaller than
they were in grandmamma's time; as
are also most of the other rooms of
the house. Living rooms alone have
taken to themselves greater spacious
ness than was formerly considered
necessary. But, along with this in
crease in space in the living room, the
dining room has shrunk into a room
just large enough to permit comfort
able placing of the necessary furnish
ings, with no waste space to be covered
by trudging feet
electrical wiring and outlets, in the
dining room of all rooms, give a dis
tinct charm. The beauty of expressive
lighting is Joy TO the decorator; this
not only as a decorative note in itself.
but as an Interpretation of other colors
and materials. The modern house
wife is asking, in addition to plenty Of
electrical connections for lights in her
dining room, places also for hooking on
her complement of electrical cooking
appliances, so useful in the absence of
servants which marks housekeeping of
the day.
Dining rooms, in some homes, have
been eliminated entirely from the
plans; compact nook being consider
ed sufficient for the informal meals of
the family whose mistress does all the
work, while a table may be laid in the
living room on state occasions. These
breakfast or pullman" dining hooks
are capable of delightful arrangements
in both furnishing and lighting.
Another fashion which is increasing
in popularity, according to Mrs. Grit
fifth, is that of building the entire low
er floor, with the exception of the
kitchen, in such manner that it pre-
sents a complete vista; rooms opening
up into what appears to be one large
area. The plan, with certain uni
formity of furnishing and lighting eff
fects, gives sense of spaciousness
and dignity which might otherwise DE
lost in the small house.
"Built-in furniture is popular and
practical" said the decorator. ut does
not require moving in order to clean
and sweep. The tendency of the day
toward eliminating house work which
is markedly exemplifed by the tire
mendous increase in the use of electric
labor-saving appliances, is responsible
for this phrase of building. Book
shelves, inglenooks, china closets,
kitchen cabinets and odd seats are per-
manently constructed, and harmonic
with the architecture of the house.
Simplicity and compactness, permit.
ting comfort, convenience, and beauty
at moderate costs, are considered the
keynote in modern building require
ments.

MOTOR CAR DEATHS
GROWING RAPIDLY
State Board of Health Shows a Vass
Increase in Number of Victims
of Accidents.
tBy Associated Press Leased wire.)

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)
Madison.-The steady advance in au-
tomobile deaths throughout Wisconsin
noted during the past ten years is con-
tinuing, the state board of health an
nounced today. A table prepared by it
shows that the toll in automobile acct
dents has risen to 237, jump Of 81
over the previous year.
Following is table prepared by the
health board covering automobile
deaths in Wisconsin for ten years:
1912, 81; 1918, 35; 1914, 46; 1915, So;
1915, rs; 1917, 112; 1918, 1871; 1919,
1877; 1920, 1879; 1921, 2O5; 1922, 237.
A large portion of the deaths caused
by automobiles resulted from railroad
grade crossing accidents. Others were
due in a considerable part to reckless
driving in cities. The increase is so
marked that the legislature plans 20
take steps to curb accidents.
Bills are already before both houses
to require driver to stop within 40 fecE
Of railroad crossing before proceed
ing over it, to require adequate lights
on motor vehicles, and to require acct
dent insurance to be held by every au-
tomobiIe owner in the state. Other
measures call for licensing of drivers
after an examination and for adequate
marking Of grade crossings by rail
roads The number of cars in the state
is increasing at such a pace that the
board believes remedial legislation
necessary if further increase III
deaths is to be prevented.

FRENCH AND BRITISH
SHIPS WILL REMAIN
Three-Day Extension at Smyrna Fails
to Change Attitude of Allied
Nations.

Paris.-The three-day extension of
the Turkish ultimatum demanding the
withdrawal Of the allied battleships at
Smyrna is not expected to modify the
positive stand taken by France and
Great Britain and so far as is known,
the orders TO the naval commanders to
defend their positions if attacked still
holds good.
Press dispatches confirm reports,
which have also reached London that
the Turks last Saturday decided to wait
another three days for the Withdrawal
of the war craft. They reserved to
themselves full liberty Of action after
the expiration of that time. Constan-
tinople newspapers declare that the
situation will be adjusted satisfactorily
although they declare the order closing
the port Of Smyrna will not be coun-
fernandez. One journal, terming the
increase of British naval strength in
the eastern Mediterranean as can un-
amicable and hostile act" asserts that
Turkey is demanding the departure Of
the allied war craft as a measure for
her own safety.

new FIRE TRUCK
AT UNION GROVE
Village Purchases a $4,000
Fire Truck from Peter
Pirsch Company.
FOR THE VOLUNTEERS

Union Grove is now boasting of a
combination chemical and pumping au-
tomobile fire truck, upon which the
last payment was made last week. This
new equipment makes the village a
leader among the smaller communities
of southeastern Wisconsin in the mat
ter of providing fire protection for its
residents.
The new FIRE apparatus is capable Of
pumping 500 gallons of water minute
and was purchased at cost of $4,000.
It is capable n coping with any fire
that the village may have. The old
fire engine could only develop 80
pounds pressure. WithNthe new piece
of apparatus, the fremen can develop
as high as $50 pounds pressure. This
assures a stream of water that will
reach the highest building in the vii
lage.
~ Training School Grateful.
The last payment was made by Chief
Floyd Collins at p. m. Friday. He
was able to do so, following contri-
button of $100 from the Racine and
Kenosha counties training school for
teachers. In rendering this contribu-
tion, which is the second one made by
the school, Principal A. J. Smith says:
81 am instructed by the training
board and the building committee for
the Racine Kenosha County Training
School for Teachers to extend to your
department the. vote of thanks for SER
vices rendered at the training school
fire on Nov. 80.
People Back Department.
Raising the money and paying for
the truck in such a short time is con-
elusive evidence of the interest taken
by the Union Grove people in the adj
vancement of the village.
A picture of the pump and some of
the members of the department, taken
when the test was made, is shown here
with. This exhibition displayed the
powers of the pump, streams being
played through rs inch nozzle.
The engine was built on a motor
driven Sampson truck by Peter Pirsch
& Sons Company of Kenosha. 1t is
what is known as the triangle combina-
ton fire engine. It's weight is 4,500
pounds, and it has 4o0-gallon pump
and 95-gallon chemical engine, one
thousand feet or more of hose, 30
foot extension ladder and many shorter
ladders.
Because of the increased protection
afforded the village, the residence dis
trict has been re-rated and given
lower insurance.
The people Of the village surely are
to be congratulated in their judgment
in buying the pump,
The fire department embraces the
pick of the young men in Union Grove.
