This has been Recognized in the
past few years, but the lighting in

To provide adequate light without
the glare Of sunlight an eastern
manufacturer has devised a means
OF raising and lowering the roller
which carries the window shade,

may be had over the top of the
curtain while the shade protects the
closed portions Of the room from
the direct sunlight. When the
height of the shade. is fixed by
means Of the regulating device, it
Is raised and lowered as are shades
attached to the window frame in
the usual manner. =.
me device consists Of, six parts
and single, continuous cord. Two
double pulleys are installed in. the
upper corners Of the window frame.
A third pulley is installed on the
left hand side Of the frame, about
foursand7a-haf, feet from the
floor, since this pulley limits the
downward travel OF the rolled
shade, and it is convenient to be
able to look over the top of this
when 1t Is lowered. Opposite this
pulley, ton the right side Of the
window frame, is placed a fastener
to which the free end Of the cord
is attached when the shade has
been adjusted Ito the desired posi-.
ton.

HOLMAN IS DEAD

Featherweight PugiIist Suo-

Bout In Baltimore

BALTIMORE, Md. Sept. A.
Charles Holman, Baltimore feather.
weight boxer, died today at Mercy
Hospital of injuries sustained last
night in a twelve-round bout with
Lew Mayrs.
Holman was knocked out in the
last round and never regained con-
seriousness. He was known as the
Fighting parson" because of his
custom of praying for success be.
fore every ring encounter.
Collapsing in the final round of
a twelve-round fight with Lew
Mayr at the Folly Theater last
night, Holman was taken to the
Mercy Hospital.
Physicians said the pugilist prob.
ably had blood clot on the brain.
Mayr later was arrested and
taken to Eastern Police Station
on a technical charge of assaulting
and striking Holman. He gave his
address as 1903 East Lombard street.
Holman battled savagely for twelve
rounds against Mayr. Holman wax

round Fighting gamely in cor.

toppied through the ropes. The
referee started to count, but the
pugilist struggled to his feet and
climbed back into the ring.
He rushed to his younger oppo.

eager to end the contest, showercd
punches upon Holman, who sank
to the floor.
