For most fixtures it is best to see that the bottom of the shades is not more than 38 inches above the table for (A) and 24 inches above the table for (D). Where candle fixtures are used, shades are needed not only to protect the eyes from the glare, but to reflect some of the light which would otherwise 20 up to the ceiling or down on the table.

There is no local office which subjects
the incumbent to more criticism than
that District Attorney He is damned
if he does and damned if he doesn't.
On his judgement rests the expenditure
OF large sums of the public money. A
contentious district attorney can easily
keep the whole community at swords
points, and a too complaicent one can
do the same thing. In either case the
community is in turmoil which rouses
i'll feeling and costs money. To keep
down strife and regulate expense the
office should be administered by an
experienced man. George W. Lane
our present district attorney has this
experience. He is neither too conten-
tlous nor to complaicent. 1t won't
