COlored Lighting May
Displace Wallpaper

Cleveland - A method by which the
mistress of the house may completely
change the mural decorations of the
entire domicile in less than five min
utes is being devised here in the Nela
Park research laboratories of the GEN
eral Electric Company.
The new device, operated entirely by
electric lighting, is capable of throw
ing as many as fifty distinct wall pa
per designs on the walls of the room
in less than sixty seconds, with prac-
tically no human effort save the
movement of tinted glass slide on
which are arranged various colored
daubings.
The effect is obtained by the use of
which, when completed, may be con-
cealed in the room and arranged so
q specially made magic lantern box,
that the wall designs will be focused
perfectly and changed at will. The
colors, as we'll as the designs of the
decorations, may be varied accord
ing to the effect desired. One may
brighten the home to the stage of
absolute gaiety through play of bril-
liantly colored designs, or change to
quiet and sombre tones at will

THE IDEAL CHURCH.

THE church exists for work as we'll as for
worship, for service as well as sociability, for
this world rather than the next" said the
moderator Of a great denomination in the
world of religious work in retiring from office
the other day.
Church members in Kenosha may have over
looked his statement and we want to recall it
and suggest to them that it is a wonderfully
PLAIN solution of the question "What is the
function of the modern church?
A church that includes this very statement
in its invitation to every new member is going
to be church which is going to have vital
place IN the community. It is going to be
church which is going to do the work that re-
llglous men and women should be willing to do
and the doing of it is going to make the
church a brighter place to go and place more
infinitely valuable to every community.
The church organization which works for
this world rather than the next is not going
to have members who will be greatly worried
about the next world. The man or woman
who puts into life all he can toward the bet
terment of conditions in this world, is going
to be pretty certain of high place in the
world to come
The world to come is going to be made hap
pier by the presence of men and women who
can work along with their worship, who an
pfec1ate that service is the surest form of
soclablllty and whose greatest concern is not
for some other world but for the world that
they are an active part of and in.

the same kind Of reduction in Kenosha. The
important thing is to have the officials of the
two cities have complete understanding in the
matter. It is mutual fight for a community
interest. Kenosha wants to bear its share of
the cost of the battle and it wants to be in
sured that it will have its part in any adyant-
age gained.
This is matter that should officially be
taken up by the city council and the Racine
officials should be advised that Kenosha wants
an invitation to attend this conference IF an
invitation is lacking then some Kenosha repre-
sentative should butt in and insist that fair
share be given to the two cities
1t is not improbable that the whole matter
will have to go to the railroad commission
and if it does each city should have it's share
Of the cost

KENOSHA SHOULD BE PRESENT

4 1t is announced that the officials of the city
OF Racine and the officials of the Wisconsin
Gas and Electric company will hold a confer
ence on Wednesday afternoon relative to a re-
duction of rates charged for gas in Racine.
The city of Kenosha should be officially repre-
sented at this conference as community of
interest precludes any new arrangement Of gas
rates for Racine without a similar arrange
ment for Kenosha
kenosha and Racine are linked in the supply
OF this utility and any change in rate should
become effective in Kenosha at the identical
time that it becomes effective in Racine. In
the past this has been overlooked and Kenosha
has usually gone right on paying higher rate
after reduction has been made in Racine
Ample warning Of the action of the citv of Ra4
cine has been given and if Kenosha continues
TO pay higher rate it will be because Kenosha
people fail to look after their own interests.
The company has intimated that it will he
six months before any figures will be available
on which to base an answer of the demand of
the city Of Racine for a reduction of pas rates
III an investigation is to be made the figures
when they are made should cover the cond-
tlons In Aenosha as we'll as in Racine IF This
Is not demanded it is to be expected that when
Aenosha asks reduction in gas rates the com
pany VIII insist on six months breathing spell
in which to prepare figures.
1t would be uneconon1ic for both the company
and for the people Of Kenosha to have this
work done twice. A reduced rate in Racine

A PLEASING STATEMENT.

KenOsha people are encouraged ana neafI-
ened with the statement of Charles w. Nash,
president of the Nash Motors company, that
this company has no thought Of leaving Keno
sha The suggestion Of Mr.. Nash that his COM
pany is willing to fight to stay in Wisconsin
is carried out by the fact that this company
has been one Of the companies in the state
which has shown an interest in the work OF
the legislature.
It has not shown this interest by the en-
ployment of some professional lobbyist, but by
sending to Madison one Of its chief officials and
it is worth while saying that this man has gone
into the conferences Of the members of the
legislature and has gained rather than lost
prestige.
eff all of the companies interested in the de-
velopment of the industrial side of Wisconsin
had approached the legislature with the(same
candor as Walter H. Afford, / believe a lot OF
the Misunderstanding between the legislature
and industry would have been removed long
while ago." said one of the members Of the
legislature on Saturday. Afford has not
sought to dictate to the legislature but he has
laid before the members of it a lot of sub
Stimulated facts and his work has gotten
results"
The battle of the Kenosha man for a fair
consideration Of the rights Of industry has at
no time been personal battle. 1t may have
had the angle of self interest, but it had more
of the idea Of state interest and community
interest. Mr.. Afford told the members of the
joint committee on finance that he did not be-
lieve four per cent tax on industries was an
unfair tax, but he declared at the same time
that he believed the provisions of the tax laws
as they related to individuals was unfair. He
showed a willingness to look after the interest
of the Individual as well as the interests of
the corporations
The startling statement that the Nash COM
pany had in the paEt five years paid more for
taxes than for labor, should be driven home.
Certainly no one can believe that industry is to
be encouraged with such program of taxa
tion. The returns from taxation to corpora
tions and to most individuals are decidedly
meagre and most any one will be convinced
that this cost is decidedly large.
The conviction is driven home that more
could be spent for labor were there not so great
a demand for taxes. The money which an
industry spends for labor is the money which
builds up communities.
These conditions again point clearly to the
need Of more and careful study of the taxa
ton problem in Wisconsin before definite ac-
ton is taken. It is interesting to note that in
Idustrlal leaders in Wisconsin are willing and
ready to join with the state in a fair and care
full study of this question with the idea of serv-
ing not some personal interest, but rather the
interests OF the state and the people.
