THE CEILING FIXTURE
LIGHTING THE MIRROR

We see objects by the light that fails on them and is reflected to the eye. Thus, when we look in a mirror, and see a reflection of our face, what has happened is this: the light falls upon our face which reflects a part of the light to the mirror; the mirror, in turn, reflects part of the light back to our eye, and we have seen an im- age of our own face,

 But Studebalker, on which the whole vehicle using world has come to depend for reliability, would not rest on only one real contribution to the value given the public.
 It must give all that engineering ability could devise.
 Striking new features
 So there are offered three distinct models of cars to
 meet each of the three fields of demand-the Standard Six, with 113 -inch wheelhase and SO horsepower motor; the Special Sn with 120-inch wheelbase and e5 horsepower motor; the Big Six, most magnificent base and 75 horsepower motor.
 Duplex bodies arc available on each line. In ad- dition closed models have workmanship and mate- rals and beauty of ine co far above the price cfass of the car, they must be seen to be appreciated.
 Of scarcely less importance than the Duplex fea- ture arc other improvements such as, automatic ignition system, lighting control the steering wheel new location of emergency brake, improved onepieee wndshiesd and many others.
 The body lines steering mechanism, and even the lenders of the new Studebaker were designed espe- caIly for genuine balloon tires Thus the body lines harnonize with grace and beauty hitherto unattaned. even by Studebaker.
 Come in and see these new ears.

Anew type of car has stirred the automobile world as has nothing since the abandonment of the buggy" style of body building.
 It is the Studebaker Duplex, % called to indicate that it is an open car one moment and 30 seconds later it is an enclosed car.
 Like all great advances in the industrial arts, it s "so simple in operation, it is wonder it wasn't thought of before" "---
 Particularly since its need las been growing, year by year, ever since automobiles were made.
 Many people all of the tme and most people part of the time want open ear-to bring to theh riding the fresh crspness of the country air, and free and untrammeled association with the great outdoors.
 Yet for these same people, the snug comfort of the closed car, shutting out the storm and the wind and the cold, has been at times a necessity.

LESSON NO.7 LIGHTING THE BEDROOMS

There are three or four differ- ent purposes for which we may need lighting in a bedroom. At times we need a soft flood of light all over the room; when dressing, we need proper lighting of the mirror; boudoir lamp on a small table near the head of the bed, or a bracket lamp on the bed itself serves as night light; and if the room be g large one, there may be need for a floor lamp beside a comfortable chair for reading.
 THE CEILING FIXTURE
 The fixture that is selected for the center of the ceiling should provide enough general lighting all over the room for ordinary use of the room. To protect the eyes, it must be shaded in such a way. that the eyes of a person lying in bed cannot be strained by the bulb which furnishes the light. If a shade is used which is open at the bottom, the opening should be mar row. A total of from 50 to 100 watts will give plenty of light in this fixture.

Dog Lost; Dog Found, by
 Sharp Eyed Traffic Cop

A knowledge of dogs is not a re- auisite for becoming member of the traffic squad Of the police de- partment, but such knowledge by one of the traffic policemen this morning proved valuable to John Brown of 55 Connecticut avenue, who lost his English bull dog. Brown reported his loss to Sergt. Micheal J. Flynn at police headquarters and the report was read to the traffic policemen who were going on duty a few minutes after.
 Luckily for Brown, one of the traffic policemen knew an English bull when he saw one and also just what color brindle is. When the traffic squad reached the corner of Commercial and Main streets, John stadler spotted the dog trotting along the street. He picked it up and walked into the station with the animal tucked under his arm in less than a minute after receiving the report from Sergt. Flynn.

them"
 Mir. Risdon asked the health of- ficer why such interest was taken over smallpox, saying that other diseases and matters of more seri- ous nature were treated with less concern than the prospect of smallpox outbreak here. He said that he was not afraid of smallpox but did fear vaccination for his children. He, himself, had been vaccinated three times.
 The pathetic case of the chill dren, of Willard Hunt of Forest vile, formerly an ardent supporter of vaccination, was referred to by MT. Risdon. The Hunt children suffered ill effects after vaccine treathment and the inoculation was blamed. He said that Dr. Woisard knew about the Hunt case.
 pr, W",Said quickly disclaimed any knowledge as he had not made an investigation. The assertion of M-. RisdoE that frozen vaccine virus had caused deaths in Massa- chusctts. brought Dr. Knowlton to hls feet ID explanation. He in- formed his audience that the mat ter was not vaccine virus but anti toxin and that such a happening could not occur in this state as dif- ferent quantities were used, which were not affected by freezing. In reply to MT. Laws question, pr. Woisard said that he had made efforts to stop the use of the river as & sewer but had been informed by Corporation Counsel William N. .Derosier that the matter was up to the property owners. The health officer could do nothing but con- plain to the city authorities, which he did but the river continued in its old familiar role. A verbal tilt between MT. Law and Mayor Wade, relative to the use of the river as a sewage plant with or without l permission of the city brought forth much laughter and ended the discussion. Willard Hunt was the next on the evenings program. He informed pr. Knowlton that people were not so greatly interested in opposing vaccination as the compulsory or der affecting the schools alone. He said that the vaccination certifi- cates were being asked for in the schools.
 We are skeptical. because we fear bad results from vaccination" said Mir. Hunt. in explanation of the defiant attitude of the medical leaguers. He presented figures, ob- tained from a physical culture ex- pert of New York. which opposed the vaccine treatment. Mir. Hunt asked Dr. Knowlton the number of smallpox cases in the state at pres ent so that the emergency nature of the situation for this city might

CARTER HAS WORK

 Before Election ALLING HAS EYE ON JOB
Deming May Be Boomed for Jegis-
 lature-Real Estate Transactions Visiting From China--Another
 Big Field Day-ItemS.

First Selectman George B. Carter is beginning to sharpen up his farm ing tools, as he Is going to have a hard row to hoe in the coming town elections with two candidates al- ready in the field against him, Will liam W. Pagan, former postmaster of Kensington on the democratic side of the fence, and Willard I. AL ling of Kensington on the other side. It Is understood that a petition will soon be circulated asking another prominent resident to enter the lists on the republican ticket.
 That there will be a battle at the republican caucus Is foregone con- clusion. MT. filling was for years first selectman. William H. Schroeder. second selectman, will also have something to worry about, as Will liam H. Webster, a prominent re- publican in Berlin, has been an- nounced as a running mate for MT. filling, for second selectman.
 Mir. Carter has apparently taken the stand of peace at any price" and has declined to be drawn into any arguments on the question. He has also resumed being a hermit and is a hard man to find these days.
 Mir. Carter has done good work for thetown while he has been first se- lectman, but there is the possibility that Kensington people may like 6 change and may like to see one of the republicans from their own sec- ton in office. There is where the votes lie, it would appear, although 1t is thought that there would be enough votes for MT. Carter to make the outcome of such battle uncer- tain in the caucus.
 Then there is the possibility that if MT. filling does not defeat Mir. Carter at the caucus Mir. Pagan will do so at the polls. The first select mans worries will not be over until the votes are counted.
 Chinese Student Here
 Miss Eleanor Tao of Picking, China, is spending short vacation in Kensington. visiting MT. and Mrs. Sidney NJ. Cowles. Miss Tao has been in this country about two years and is a student at Mount Holyoke college, where she is taking English courses in preparation for work at Columbia university At Columbia she expects to take work which will 1t her for teaching in her home land.
 Miss Tao, although a resident of the United States for a short time, speaks English fluently and is plan ming to address the first meeting of the Christian Endeavor society of the Kensington Congregational church next Thursday evening. She will not give a formal talk to the young people, but will confine her. self to telling something of the cus- toms of the Chinese.
 She has been at the Harvard Simmer school this year and will stay with Mir. and Mrs. Cowles for about a week before resuming her work at Mount Holyoke.
