great floating advertisements for some
washing compound. "They even smell
clean!" exclaimed an Australian.
Tidiness is all right and so is health
full well-airedness. But warfare against
filth can be carried too far. After the
Spanish-American war the eternal ir-
ritation of painting and scrubbing and
polishing coupled with ironbound
rules to preserve the virgin purity of
what had been painted, scrubbed, and
polished nearly drove men to distrac-
ton. This one thing was said to have
Z been responsible for more than Is per
cent of desertions at that time.
Finally war paint was adopted In
place of white. Rails and upper works
were also gray. Even guns, once so
beautifully polished, now faded into
the misty background Of the sea ho-
rizon. Battle lanterns and search
lights were black. Gangways were
dull shellaced Every effort was made
to assure cleanliness, but without be-
ing finicky or foppish. All surfaces
were made dull that could be. Today
''brlghtwork call" on{athe bugle at
S:15 a. m. means more than half an
hour of oyerhauling than of actual
shining.
The whole ship Is divided into clean
ing stations. During the4 morning
watch from $50 to 7:30 the men
sweep and scrub paintwork, canvas,
decks, masts and other parts. The
period from S:15 to S:45 is merely
final touch.
In the engine and dynamo rooms
there is a good deal Of metal surface
to be shined. But this rs considered in
the class with scrubbing on deck. How
ever, outdoor machinery, such as
winches, cranes, and capstans have
small unpainted parts which are pol
ished at "brightwork" time.
Wood can also be brightwood. In
fact this term has come to signify any
surface unpainted. For instance the
gunwaleS (edges or rails) of boats are
no longer vanished. They are scrub

papered until softly white and smooth.

A concession TO shininess is made by
using gray enamel or by oiling the

It's not hard work though. and
there is something in 1t that appeals

being made to make paper of the
stalk, but as yet they have not been
very successful.
The pith especially treated, is
used in the lining of battleships, as
its pulpy mass takes up water and il
a great help in case a leak is
sprung.
In conclusion, Prof. Eswine, to
show the very many uses of corn
products in our every day life, used
something like this as an illustra-
ton: Suppose you had slept on
corn husk mattress, you went to
your boarding house for breakfast,
cleaning your shoes on husk mat,
walking on the linoleum to the din
ing room. putting Karo on your corn
cakes or flakes. For dinner you
perhaps had corn bread, corn
starch pudding, with Mazda ON
your salad. Even your bacon and
other meats and eggs owe much to
corn. Later, in a chair stuffed with
corn cob shaving, you rested while
you smoked your corn cob pipe.

very few have ever associated corn
with so many products of our every

Montclair, N. J., March 25.--The Montclair town commission has de- cided a man has right to sleep un- til a. m. The decision was made at the commission meeting last night and Commissioner Heyer was given power to act against garbage col lectors who rattle and bang garbage cans in the early hours, 1t being un- derstood that hereafter they shall not collect garbage on residential streets until after o'clock.
 The decision was the result of a second complaint by Marcus Conlan of Edgemont road who declared the garbage man operated up and down his street for half an hour daily any time between and a. m., with the result that further sleep was out of the question. Commissioner Phillips said he did not believe Conlan had a real complaint as he had heard that in Tokio garbage collections were made at two o'clock in the morning The body of commission CTS decided that Tokio was not Montclair and something should be done"

GIRL REALIZING
 HER GREAT CRIME
Dorothy EllinsSOn Shudders in
 Frisco Court

San Francisco, March 25.--Dor- othy Ellingson, lG year old sten- ographer, entered court today with a renewed determination to curb the youthful impetuosity which has been responsible for fainting spells the first two days O. her trial for the killing of her mother, Mrs. Anna Ellingson. The girl confessed that she shot and killed her mother during a quarrel in which the par ent attempted to divert her from the path of wayward companions.
 Observers say that the trial Is bringing 10 Miss Ellingson a full realization of the enormity of the of- fense. She listens 10 other fathers and mothers, prospective jurors, and shudders when they disqualify them selves and say they could not sit In judgment fairly on "girl who killed her mother"
 As court opened today nine men and two women were in the jury box, temporarily passed as jurors. The girl expressed a desire to be tried by elderly men and no women.
 Miss Ellingson appears in court without the makeup that she wore the first days after she was arrested in rooming house. Today she wore heavy topcoat of plain de- sign and did not remove her gloves. Those who have been close to the girl since her arrest say that the trial has caused her to discard her attitude of indifference.
