It is in its application to the operation of the family sewing machine that the familiar rs y is made practical in the The cost in the family of operating a sewing machine by foot power is not measured by dollars, but by the expendi- ture of the vitality for which it calls, and whatever ef this cost can be saved is as de- sirable, in fact, more important than a money saving. For this purpose the DIEHL ELECTRIC BALANCE-WHEEL MOTOR is unique in being the only one than can be applied directly to the driv- ing shaft of the machine, taking the place of the balance wheel. It is as easily handled as the ordinary incandescent lamp and its consumption of the eleetric current is the same, costing about 1 cent per hour.

Discovery by Detective Weedon in a West Virginia Town.’ “There's a dog graveyard at Charlestown, W. Va.,” remarked Detective Weedon to- day.. “Once a year the unlicensed dogs in the town are taken out and shot. I was up there a few years ago on the day of the annual massacre, and {t was cruel to see the way the dogs were killed.” He said he was invited by one of the town officials to go along to a place on the outskirts of the town, where the slaughter- ing was to be done. The executioners, he declares, had shot- guns, muskets and at least a dozen old pistols, all loaded to use on the canines. When the dog’s graveyard was reached, he said, the officers in charge fired several shots through the side of a big dog, and at each shot the dog jumped higher and made more noise. “Then I took a hand at the business,” said Detective Weedon, ‘‘and when I had used only one bullet on each dog the officer said he had learned. a lesson that would save him many dollars’ worth of ammuni- tion a year” —— AFTER THE MILK DEALERS. They Must Pay the Penalty for Violating Regulations. The health office is proceeding officially against dealers who are in any manner violating the provisions of the milk law. It is understood that a large number of prosecutions are to be brought, several cases having been called to the attention of Judge Scott today in the Police Court. The charge in each case was that the dealer failed to have posted in a conspicu- ous way at his place of business the name ef the dairyman from whom the milk was procured. David Twomey of 200 L street south- west was first calle@ upon to_ plead. ‘Through John Moss, attorney, of Hillsdale he admitted that he was guilty, but asked that sentence be suspended, as he was un- acquainted with the requirements of the, law, and since the visit of the inspector to his’ place of business he had posted a proper sign. “He didn’t know the law,” concluded aving just gone into the milk busi- long have you been dealing in * asked the court. enty-two years,” Twomey made re- Mr. Moss seemed staggered for @ mo- ment, but recovering himself, announced triumphantly: “But, your honor, the law has not been in effect twenty-two years.” Twomey was fined $5, and for failing to provide a proper receptacle with a lid for garbage was called upon to part with $5 additional. He announced that he did not intend to pay the fines, and in default was sent to the workhouse for thirty days. Others who were fined $5 each on the Same charge were John Levinson of 30th and O streets, Ezekiel Cunningham of 300 E street southwest and Ellen McCann of $32 41% street southwest. For failing to provide a proper garbage receptacle John Reche of 700 3d street Southwest was fined $5. ——————— Against Birds on Bonnets. To the Editor of The Evening Star: I thank God there is one daily in the cap- ital city with courage to face seven-tenths of the bonnets in said city with the sting- ing rebuke which appeared among your ed- itorials of last evening’s edition. There will come a time when the women of our land will be ashamed of this brutal fashion. God bless the sweet face under a birdless bonnet, which borrows not its beauty from murdered innocence. Some years ago there appeared in Paris at a ball of the demi-monde an infamous woman wearing on her headdress a dead bird. No lady would desire to pattern after such an one, yet this is the way the fashion began. Christian women, bowing at the name of the merciful Christ, ye cannot plead ig- norance of the cruelty employed in obtain- ing the savage ornamentation which surely detracts from your beauty. What does it cost, this brilliancy of death? Love and life and song, depend upon it, are costly trimmings for a wom- an’s bonnet. = ARMOUR. Overcont Thieves Abroad.

He said that the Bear had rescued hundreds during the past few years, and is now about to start on an expedition of relief to thé whalers ice bound at St. Michael’s and other places. A number of excellent views were given, among them pictures of ice-bound vessels. The lecturer stated that many of those in charge of these vessels have chosen to re- main in the ice. This is largely, the lectur- er said, the result of competition, so that the whalers will be on the ground at the opening of the next season. Dr. Jackson spoke of the various routes to the Klon- dike region, and said it was proposed to build a trolley line at the most difficult Place. in the Chilkoot Pass. The lecturer expressed doubt whether any of the trans- portation companies had succeeded in car- rying. out their agreement - to transport miners to. Dawson before September. In the opinion of the speaker the newspaper reports of the wealth of Alaska have tiot at all been overestimated. He, however, believed that the best results of the colo- nization of the region would be the devel- opment of its other resources. ——— Organ Recital. This afternoon at 4:30 Mr. Hewe D.

Rakemann will give a series of chamber music concerts at the Washington Club, No. 1710 I street, the first of which will be next Thursday even- ing. Mr. Rakemann is well known as a violinist of unusual ability, and his aims are always in the direction of the best class of music. Last year he gave a series of corcerts similar to those now proposed, which were well attended, and which were also artistically successful.

At each concert there will be a well-known soloist and the programs will be of such a character as to please all musical tastes. ‘The program for the piano and violoncello recital by Mr, and Mrs. Ernest Lent, as- ed by Luria Nola, soprano, at the Uni- ersalist Church, next Wednesday eve, will include sonuta in D major for piano and v-oloncello, by Rubinstein; Cavatina from “Queen of Sheba,” by Gounod; cantabile by Cesar Cin and Berrense by Napravnik for ‘cello; five piano pieces; Lisonjira by Cha- minade; serenade by Schubert-Liszt; two meditations by Ernest Lent, Callirrtue, by Chaminade; two songs, “My Marguerite,” old French song, Amour by Godard, Lecygne by Saint-Saens and a gavotte by Popper for ’cello; polonaise in E major by Lizst, and “A Summer Night,” with ’cello obligato, by Goring Thomas.
