The art of conducting a street car through the crowded thoroughfares of Berlin is being taught to women in five schools for cnductoresses, that graduates each week a total of be- tween 300 and 400 female conductors to take the places of men going to war. Not since the days of the earli- est electric car in Berlin have pupils who were candidates for the positions on the back platform proved as apt as are women who once were consid- ered as absolutely unfitted for this supposedly masculine work. Between 2500 and 3000 women are Now em- ployed. Chas. Becker was put to death in the electric chair at Sing Sing pris- on, Ossinging, N. Y., Friday morning for the killing of Herman Rosenthal, the New York gombler. The former New York police lieutenant retained his composure and protested his in- nocence to the last. He went to his death with a photograph of his wife | pinned on his shirt over his heart. Three shocks were given before the! prison physician pronounced Becker dead. A silver plate was later placed upon the coffin by his widow on which was inscribed the charge that the former police lieutenant, elctro cuted at Sing Sing prison last Fri- day was “murdered” by Governor. Whitman.” After a police conference attended by representatives of the district attorney’s office, Inspector Faurot went to the home and told Mrs. Becker that the inscription was a criminal libel on the governor and prevailed upon her to permit of its removal.

OO BORORO ECR ORR0RBCRBCEBCRB0RBIROBIANNE BONBON ORORRORRONROIRORRORORRONCN plumbing make up for the lack of these essen- tials.’ Cooking and eating out of doors is an attraction if the process is not ac- companied by swarms of flies and these are sure to appear if the wastes are not properly disposed of. If your camp is near to a stream, go far enough back to be sure that heavy rains will not wash refuse in- to the stream, burn or dig a pit for it. Cover all the waste which goes into it with a sprinkling of chlorinat- ed lime and then with a light cover- ing of earth, This will insure free- dom from fly breeding and noisome odors in the hot weather. Be careful of your water supply. If it is from a stream and there are oth- er camps or dwellings upon it, it is far wiser to boil all that is used for drinking and domestic purposes than |: to risk the possibility of typhoid fev- er. If a spring is used care should be taken that this is not open to con- tamination from washings of refuse or other pollutions. If mosquitoes abound for the sake of comfort and as a protection a- gainst the possibility of malarial in- fection, reens or nettings should be used if conditions will permit, and if not some anti-mosquito wash should be used such as oil of citro- nella. If bitten, a mixture of one part of aqua-ammonia and three parts of spirits of camphor will destroy the poison. By no means are all species of mosquitoes disease carriers but they are all comfort destroyers. These precautions are simple e- nough and if made a part of the reg- ular routine of camp life they will af- ford a reasonable protection to the health of the occupants of the camp and may likewise serve to protect other pleasure seekers along the , streams as well as the regular con- i sumers of water for domestic use. 1 ¥ | WATCH FOR HIM. | A score or more of indignant resi- dents of Windber are after the scalp the rate of three pairs for a dollar, presenting the purchaser with a printed guarantee which purported to return a new pair for the old if ‘the stockings went to holes before | sixty days.
