EXPLAINING A FINE POINT
In ]. ". FISHBACK'S CASE
CHARGE D. AND D. SENTENCE,
SO AND "a

J. W. Fishback, who is not q
stranger in the court of Police
Judge Gordon, was brought in as
the first arrest and prosecution of
the new administration, when he
was arrested by Police Chief Ben
Anderson Monday, charged with be-
ing drunk and disorderly. The
court decided there was no doubt
about the guilt of the defendant and
sentenced him to pay a fine of $50
and spend "a hours in the city
Jail. The fine was paid. When call
ed upon to tell where ne got the
prohibited stuff, Fishback claimed
he got that way from using patent
medicine that was brought from
Glasgow.
This little story, all of which is
matter of court record, appeared
in last weeks Herald and caused
the principal in the case, J. w.
Fishback, to come to the Herald of
flee and accuse the editor of giving
him the worst of it. The objection
was on the grounds and for the rea-
son that Fishback did not serve all
of the "a hours in Jail. The story
does not say that he did. Anyway,
the editor did not know Of the fact
Fishback said Mayor Thompson let
him out. The editor agreed to see
the mayor and did. His Honor said

half the fine but thought if he was
out he could get the other $25.
The mayor thought it a good deal
for the city. He reasoned that S25
would come in handy to the city
while there was small chance of a
longer jail term reforming Fish
back.
So now the public has the whole
story, except the spicy conversation
that ensued between Fishback and
the editor. The inquisitive pencil
pusher tried to bring out some facts
asking if it was not a fact that
case in district court was pending
against Fishback on a bootlegging
charge. He had to admit it. Then
we gave him the inside facts of our
opinion on pertinent subjects and
asked him certain other questions
which he declined to answer in the
affirmative. Too long a story to
impose on our readers. The mayor
vas perfectly satisfied with the way
he story of Fishback's arrest and
sentence was narrated, and even
tinted broadly, that convicted Of

BRANDEGEE FEARED
 LOSS OF ONE LEG
New London Day Prints Story
 0I His Physical AilInent

New London, Oct. lS.--The Day in a special article tonight will sa, that Senator B. BranJegee's suicide was the result of worry over finances and over hardening artery in one leg, from which he feared that amputation would be necessary
 Dr, Charles W. Richardson, the senator's physician at Washington says that Senator Brandegee did not have cancer.
 He did not have the slightest symptom of cancer the physician said, There was no ailment he had that was serious enough to provide of itself an adequate reason for sui eide He did have hardening of the artery in one leg, but it was not immediately grave. I believe the senator lived so much alone that at the end he did not think clearly and logically. This condition was helped by his financial troubles. Last spring he seemed quieter and more tacsturn than formerly
 Although Dr. Richardson is a nose and throat specialist he was fully conyersant with the physical condition of Senator Brandegoe" says the Day "The Senator had implicit faith in pr. Richardson and 1T he ever had caused to 20 to an- other physician hc would first con- suit Dr. Richardson.

 About six weeks ago Mir. Brande- gee told President Coolidge of his money difficulties. At the presidents suggestion some friends of the sena- tor interested themselves and tried to straighten things cut. It was be- lleved they had about succeeded when he committed suicide.
 Tt is also said .hat Mfr. Brande- gee told the president about the trouble with his leg and mentioned his fear that it would have to be amputated. The danger was, he be- lieved, that later gangrene might set Tn requiring amputation. When the

LESSON NO.5 LIGHTING THE LIVING ROOM

NJ
 The living room is u7ually not only the largest room in the house, out it is also the room that is most used. In most homes it serves as the sitting room, the parlor, the library and the music room.
 Because we do SC many differ ent things in this room, we need lighting that can be changed and varied to suit our purpose. For example, if we wish to entertain our friends by dancing or playing cards, we should be able to flood the whole room with plenty of soft, cheerful light; if we wish to read or sew, we should be able to have the light come over our shoulder from behind a favorite chair; if we wish to play the piano and sing, we should have the mu- sic we'll lighted. At all times the lighting effect should be pleasant and attractive. i
 To get these effects, we need three different kinds of lighting equipment in the room. First we have a fixture hung from the ceil- ing with which we can flood the room with light; then we have table lamps and floor lamps which are portable and can be moved about as furniture is rearranged, to give q good reading light. Finally, we

best portable lamps have shades which are deep enough to hide the bulbs and dense enough to prevent glare. Some are built to send more light up toward the ceiling as well as down toward the table or floor These use large bulbs and are de- signed to provide general lighting by reflection from the ceiling as well as local lighting. Portable lamps from which more is required than merely decoration will need bulbs which have a total of 50 to 100-watts or more; in the interests of economy, those which are merely a decoration do not need more than a 25-watt bulb. Duplex outlets in the baseboard permit the greatest convenience and use of portable lamps for lighting.
 WALL BRACKETS
 Sometimes people try to provide general lighting for the entire room with wall brackets. Except under unusual circumstances, this leads to one result-the use of larger bulbs whose brightness is annoying.
New Britain herald., 1924-10-18

may have bracket fixtures on the walls, which give us charming spots of colored light-never too bright and only used to add at- tractive decoration to our other lighting.
 @Bulbs" are known by the amount of electricity it takes to light them. The unit by which they are classified is the "Watt," and bills for electric lighting current are rendered in terms of 8 "kilowatt- hour," which is one thousand watts for one hour, or one hundred watts for ten hours,
 The total watts needed in any room depends upon the size of the room, the kind of fixtures used, ths color of the decorations and the lighting effect wanted. In most rooms good lighting may re- quire as little as one or as much as five watts of bulbs for each square foot of floor area in the room.
 Here are the things to think about when we want to be sure
New Britain herald., 1924-10-18

as long as it is wide, two ceiling fixtures should be used.
 There are several kinds of fix. lures which will provide good lighting in the living room. Some of these are shown in the Home Lighting Primer on page 23. Some are shown in the next pic ture.
 The bulbs in these fixtures vary \ in number, but the total watts nee. essary for good lighting is from 100 to 250 watts. #
 !. The shades may be of glass, silk or parchment. They should completely hide the bulb and should be dense enough so that the whole surface of the shade is evenly lighted. A bright spot in the center of the shade means that the shade is not dense enough, and that some glare is present.
 The use of all frosted bulbs will often do away with shadows of chains which would otherwise be cast on the ceiling.
 PORTABLE LAMPS E Portable lamps include floor lamps, table lamps and small ped estal lamps, candlesticks, torcheres, etc., for mantel and bookcase. The

 This view, held by Mir.

The senator then explained that he was unable to walk any distance because of his leg.

Bracket fixtures on the walls are merely decorative spots of colored light. Since they are almost al. ways directly in front of the eyes of someone in the room, a light bright enough to furnish useful light soon becomes annoying snd causes eyestrain. M
 It is most important that these be well shaded, so that glare doet not prevent their effectiveness ss beautiful decoration. The use of bulbs larger than the IS or 25-wats size cannot be recommended.

 Picking, China. Oct. 1S.-Ffghting at shanhalkwan between tho invad- Ing Manchurian forces of General Chang Tso-Lin and the resisting armies of the Picking government is so increasingly violent and intense that the outcome may decide control of the central Chinese government, according to observers returning to- day from the Chihilian-M -Manchurian front.
 Both sides are throwing their best fighting units into the battle for the important strategic lines approach ing Shanhaikwan. which Is near the Chihilian- -Manchurian border in Chihli province and held by Central government troops.
 According to the observers, the Manchurian plan is to break the liness at Shanhaikwan, before the troops in the Jehol region, sepa- rated front, become menace to the Manchurian fanking forces. It also is reported General Chang Tso- Lin has been forced to weaken his lines at Jehol and Chihfeng to stiff fen his attack around Shanhaikwan. In the latter sector the fighting has been heaviest around the village of Shimenkaia which has changed hands repeatedly under the artillery fire of both sides. Guns are mount ed in the hills overlooking the town.
 From all appearances the observ- CTS report, neither side has gained a decided advantage. It is said that General Wu Pei-Fu, military head of the Peking government has not launched serious offensive, being satisfied to protect his lines against surprise movements while additional Picking troops are being sent to the front.

Budget and Estimates.

Officials Of the Budget Bureau are
making an investigation of the needs
of the city as set forth in the supple
mental estimates of the Commission
erS. and they will have direct, per
sonal knowledge of the matters for
which provision would be made in
those estimates. Many of the items
which the Commissioners were forced
to strike from the original tentative
estimates because of the reduction in
the whole sum ordered by the budget
are covered b. the supplemental esti-
mates, and this is proof that the Com
missioners. knowing the needs of the
city and the sentiment of the people,
consider them of high Importance.
1t is well that the director of the
budget shall have reports on these
matters from his assistants. There is
no disposition on the part Of the local
authorities or the citizens to exag-
gerate the city's needs. Generally a
city need is not sharply stressed by
the authorities until the popular de-
mand for meeting it becomes very
strong. An important part Of the sup
Elemental estimates has to do with
the schools. The people are greatly
disturbed OH the subject of insufficient
school room, and their first thought
is that public school facilities in
Washington shall be brought in line
with the needs of the school popula-
