HOME HINTS

The tops of blankets and comforters always soil first. No matter how carefully one may make ii*e bed. turning the top sheet many inches over tbi rest of the bed clothes, the edges of the covers do seem to get dirty very quickly. An easy and economical way to overcome this is to sew a deep facing of cheese cloth across the ends of the blanket. The facing should be at least six Inches deep on both sides of the cover. It’s much easier to rip this protector off and wash It once a fortnight or whenever one's housekeeping conscience demands, than it is to wash a whole blanket or coin-

tion of the spaces. As has often been the case, America, having led the world in progress and invention in its prelimianry stages, has failed to follow up the advantage thus gained, and, as a result, Is far behind the race. At the present time the Continental or Unlve-sal system has been adopted by every country in the world with the exception of the Uited States and Canada. The rules and regulations of be International T legraph Union arc >ased un the continental code, and are binding on the United States, though Americans have no vote In their pro

Just why the adoption of improvements on the old Morse code has not been made is somewhat of a mysteryIt is probably largely a matter of sentiment and also of haibt. Once a system has been In general use. It is a great deal easier np with its Imperfections rather than temporarily handicap efficiency by the retraining of old operators. In spite of the fact that in the long run a much greater degree of efficiency would result. When the new branch qf telegraphy was born, though, unhandicapped by convention and precedent, the a Wantages of themore modern Continental system were readily appreciated and

adopted.

The rapid growth of the wireless in the pafil few years has. of course, vastly augmented the number of operators In the country using the latter code .and thus prejudice Is gradually breaking down. So marked has become the change of sentiment in the last year or so that many ofthe old-line telegraphers' organizations are openly advocating the substitution of the Continental code for the Morse as & commercial

Dog Lew Can Be Enfo~ Wilksbarre. Pa.—After 111 years of laiiure. the Stale fit Pennsylvania has a Uw on i (a s |atut«. books that can be enforced, declared Fred Rasmussen. Secretary of Agriculture of Pennsylmia, in iddretjsing the County Commissioners o! the State in annual session, here last week. The Secretary traced the history of dog legislation from 1809, whe the first law was enacted, down to the pi .-sent time, and .-howed how all efforts to place the enforcement of the dog laws under local supervlson had failed. He declared that the only thing now needed. Is to impress upon the dogowners of Pennsylvania, that the dog law is not a dead letter, and that it will be actively enforced without fear or favor, and that within a short time, ihe licensing of a dog would be regarded in the same light as the licen-

sing of an automobile.

The Secretary, after carefully reviewing the much talked of Dog Law of 1917, urged that the commissioners appoint a committee to confer with him for the purpose of workng out amendments to the dog law to be placed before the legislature, next January’- The Secretary indicated that more success in enforcing the law. was attained in the counties where special agents were employed during the past your. Among the changes In the dog law suggested by

the Secretary were:

Sound advice says "Lock it

Things that women put away In bureau drawers, trunks or on closet shelves are usually of value, at least to their owners. They are a temptation to the less fortunate for two reasons, pc sonal adornment and salabllitv. Therefore it is the kindness and safeguard to the morality of the weak to lock them up.

Discussing the functions of the dog aw of 1917 Secretary Rasmussen said: “The law is not only for the proteelion of the sheep industry but for the protection of the poultry Industry’, it Involves the question as to wh*‘her the dog clan of the community should tave an unchallenged privilege to use our flower beds and newly planted vegetable garden.- as a playground; it Involves the question of wild life, of birds and game in our fields and fori; it involves the- question as to whether your children can pass on the street and play in saiety; in fact, the fundamental question of the Dog taw is not based upon any claims of ofenses which may be perpetuated by dogs rucung at large, but upon the broad principle of the protection of life and property to the Individual as a ember of the community." Secretary Rasmussen quoted figures show that during the two years the dog law has been in operation, the sheep growing Industry has been increased by 60.508 heads, while during tha’ time 147,052 dogs were killed by constables, peace officers and game protectors. He declared, however, that it was not the intention of the the object of the Department of Agriculture, to mak- the dog pay the penalty for his owner's negligence
