to an inquiry be had been told that this was t no caBe). "If that Is true," Knglebcrt continued, 'it is not rigbt and ought to be looked into." - ; Opinion of Gardner. He asked the city attorney if the article published in the Palladium crediting hint with the statement that an ordinance providing for the testing of the quality and the accuracy of the meters, could be drawn up under the agreements of the franchise was correct, and be received the answer that it was. Ho then declared that steps to this end should be taken, and was supKrted in the opinion by the mayor. Ills resolution followed. Councilman Knglcbcrt asked if there was anything new regarding tho injunction suit brought somo time ago to prevent the IJght, Heat and Power company from using the mains of tho old natural gas company for tho distribution of the artificial product. He was told by City Attorney Gardner that the city had been holding off somewhat because of the desire of the company's officials and attorneys to effect arrangements whereby a new franchise could bo secured, not waitIng until April 0, 1915. when the present one expires, in which all questions Including rate and the using of the natural gas mains would be satisfactorily scttltd. Unavoidable delays, he aid. had been responsible for the matter not being taken up definitely so far. When questioned by Councilman Englcbcrt as to whether the city could prevent the wto of the mains, the city attorney said that there wasitlll the nme dispute, the city insisting that It could and the company maintaining that It rouldl.t. He also declared that the city was seriously considering whether it would be any better off by Its contemplated action, as to prevent the use of the mains would mean that large number of residents would be deprived of gas. This produced a dispute between the mayor and council as to who desired the company to be enjoined from tho use of the mains, council members declaring they wanted the people to have the gas while the mayor vehemently declared the people demanded that the company not be allowed to use tho mains.

Making Incurane Maps. 'n making insurance map certain features ate considered essential, and the growth of the system has proved their wisdom ami changed them only as regards the amount of detail that Jias been incorporated. Of first importance were the colors to show the different materials used in the construction of a building. Naturally red seemed n proper color to signify brick and yellow to signify wood. These colors have always been employed for these materials. Other colors have been added from time to time, thus (biue for stone, gray for iron. etc. ; In fixing signs and characters for such detail ns stairways, lire escapes, dumb waiter shaft, etc a. principal object wos to make, them plain and distinct. They must bo easily understood by au underwriter without reference to my key or marginal footnotes. This object -has been carried out. with the result that when these insurance mnps are examined by an insurance man today each sign or character has sncb an individuality of its own that It can be easily distinguished nnd Is not confused with another.

polls, the Oregon legislature has again voted to sunbmit to the voters the question of granting the right of suffrage to women. Vernon, the seat of Jennings county, Indiana, is believed to be the only town in the entire state that is still governed under a charter granted by the Indiana constitution of 1816. Though the- town has only Ave hundred inhabitants it boasts, of a mayor and other officials the same as the largest municipalities. The Progressive League of New Orleans will pay for a special train for Celonel Theodore Roosevelt and will also provide a 110,000 banquet in his honor to be given in the historic French Opera House when the former president of the United States pays a visit to the Crescent City next' month. 1 A new Texas" Republican association

has been organized to combat the rule of Col. Cecil Lyons, who as national .

MODELS IN PROTEST ON COST OF LIVING Philadelphia, Feb. 21. The latest class to cry out against the high cost of living is tho artists' models of this city, men and women, who have united In a demand on the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts for a uniform rate of pay for posing or they will organize a union to enforce their demands. They want a uniform scale of 50 cents an hour, with or without drapery. ' At present the academy pays 50 cents an hour for posing In the nude but 25 cents an hour for posing for the head only and ' 33 1-3 cents an hour for posing in cosume or drapery. The liability of catching cold is given as a reason for the higher rate. 1 . "The idea of paying us less because we might not catch cold!" indignantly exclaimed Miss Dorothy McKay, one of the models. "Why, we have, to eat as much whether we pose in our clothes or without them. Some of us average only $5 a week during the season. We want to live, with or without clothes."

PERILS OF MARRIAGE. Young married people have many obstacles to overcome before they reach the smooth pathway which experience will provide. The young housewife finds her most difficult problem In keeping things "shipshape" for "hubby" returning from his day's endeavors. Hewitt's Easy Task soap, pure and white, lessens her labors one-half and gives the sparkle and glow to the china, glassware and silver which gives' an Impetus to the appetite of a man who has forgotten this most important matter in his every day toil. Try it at five cents a cake. Just as cheap as "cheap" soap. ,

DECLARED "SMOKED" FISH MERELY DYED

Philadelphia, Feb. 21. The dairy and food bureau of the state agricultural department has discovered that a large lvmbcr of delecatessen and other stores of this city have been for a long time, selling "dyed" fish as a substitute, for smoked fish. When Harry P. Cassidy the agent of the bureau, told the retail store proprietors what they were doing they were surprised as they had purchased the stuff as genuine smoke fish. Cassidy's attention to the w'ood article was attracted by its rich red color. Purchasing some of the fish, he had it examined and the expert reported that he could dye wool with the coloring matter extracted from it. In smoking fish there is a loss of fifteen pounds to every hundred, it is said, but in dyeing the article there is no loss at all. This permitted the violators of the law to undersell their competitors in the smoked fish industry. The dairy and food bureau promises prosecutions this week against certain wholesale dealers.

A discussion of present day journalIsm, in which views on "news stories," the fine art of reporting, and paper "make-up'.' expressed in authoritative and scholarly manner; refutations of the charge of B. A. Kennepohl that councllmen are a bunch of dummies, and a talk-fest over the powers of council, were the entertaining features of the council meeting last evening, while the gas question and a fund transfer of $7,000 furnished the business of the evening. . The mayor and council seemed irritated and even, not to mince words, peeved, over the manner in which some of their doings had been placed before the public of late, and the first half hour of the meeting was given over to a criticism of newspaper ethics and style. Councilman Englebert seemed to have a little inside information when as Mayor Zimmerman wa3 denouncing a certain newspaper article, he declared "we never see the newspapers retract, and I have come to believe that there must be something in what they say." Continuing on the same line, Mr. Englebert made a few confessions and also uttered a few compliments when he declared "anyway council always does what the newspapers say they will before. You've got to admit that they know more about council than we do." Mayor Not Convinced. But the mayor would not admit so, and seemed even a little more ruffled than before. He declared that hereafter he would pursue the same course as he did last evening, of placing himself in a true light before the council members if he ever "felt he

had been misrepresented in the news-f papers, but he would not make them retract. "They can call me a dog or4 anything., said , the mayor,' "but I'm not going to take my time and trouble ' to give them any consideration In de-; mandlng a retraction. IH Just tell you men here about it." Councilman Bartel complained that ; the public in general. received incorrect information about council from the press. - He believed It was due to errors in the papers. Councilman? Burdsall had fault to find because all . details of the meetings were not re-1 corded verbatim in the papers. j B. A. Kennepohl appeared before t

council and made a speech criticising the members for voting for the improvement of North D street and not providing for the construction of sidewalks. He said the councllmen acted like a lot of dummies and did just what the mayor. and board of works told them to do. - Councilman Englebert explained to him that when the board of works did not recommend the construction of sidewalks council was powerless to do anything in the matter. Among others who explained the situation was Councilman King. He said In effect that the likening of council to a lot of high school juniors was not pleasant. Power of Council. In this connection Councilman Englebert asked for a definition from the city attorney of the powers of council. It was explained in detail to him that all executive power rested with the mayor and the various departments, and that all council has is legislative power, merely to fulfill the wishes of the executives. An ordinance presented by the board of works transferring $7,000 from the appropriation fund for the erection of a new crematory to the

streets, sewers and alleys fund to defray 'the expense of improvements now under way, principally the building of North E street from Tenth to Sixteenth, was passed :;', unanimously under suspended rules. The bill was at first held, up on second reading by Councilman Englebert voting no. He later changed his vote explaining that he was laboring under a misapprehension.

The country cottage Is the hope of the young and the solace' of the old; it is the middle aged, with exaggerated ideas of comfort, their unreasonable desire for dry walls, brilliant lighting, hot and cold water, and the telephone, who complicate the question of the Saturday rush to green fields.

" Why She Quit Hor Job." . 1 A lady of my acquaintance in Tokyo, nys a writer in the World Wide Magazine, possessed a valuable servant of somewhat mature years who rejoiced in the epoetlc name of Oharu San 'The Honorable Miss Spring," One day Miss Spring brought in luncheon as usual. All seemed serene; there was not a shadow of a cloud In the domestic sky. But at teatime no tea appeared; neither. In answer to calls at first patient and afterward Impatient, did Oharu. After awhile the lady weut herself to the back regions and found desolation. The charcoal box was filled with gray ashes, the kettle cold. Half the luncbeor plates lay Immersed In a bowl of soupy water; the other half stood or the sink ready to be put away. Oban herself simply was not. The next morniug. however, She re appeared, very much on her company manners, with a clean kimono and her hair done In a shining bun to denote the state of a matron, demanding the fragment of wajes due to her since the beginning of the month. The lady expostulated and asked why the servant was leaving thus suddenly. "Oh," replied Oharu, "Just as I was washing the plates yesterday I remembered that Saito San, the pawnbroker, wanted a wife. Therefore I went out and married him."
