COMBINED HOME AND HOTEL LIFE
NEW YORK, Dec. 17.—Combining the independence of housekeeping with the best features of hotel life, a new type of apartment house is about to be opened in this city. It will contain 313 apartments, arranged in suites of two, three and four rooms. Yet if desired, tenants can live exactly as if in a hotel, their housekeeping being done by the house staff, and their meals being obtained in a commodious public dining-room.
Housekeepers who wish the happy medium of housekeeping during part of the day and having the housework done for them the rest of the day, can make arrangements to this effect. Members of the house staff will do these duties, cooking, housecleaning, minding children or washing floors.
The entire building is supplied with electrical service and facilities, which makes possible housekeeping by tenants at little trouble and the hotel service which is one of the features. Each of the apartments has an electric refrigerator and an electric range, while in the basement is a modern laundry for families, which do their own washing.
ROYAL PET WILL WORK FOR LIVING
LONDON, Dec. 17.—Daughter of an earl, Lady Pleasance McKenna, wife of Owen McKenna, Marconi operator, is planning to open a shop.
The father of Lady Pleasance, the Earl of Stradbrooke, is governor of Victoria, Australia, one of the greatest offices in the gife of the British government. It will be recalled that she met her husband when returning from Australia, she the rich, admired belle of the ship and he the humble wireless operator.
They fell in love, and after she had stayed for some weeks in the little 4-room cottage of her husband's parents in Lanarkshire—the father of her mother—they moved to London.
MILADY DEFIES BLUSTERY DAYS IN HEAVY COAT
FLIVVER IMPERILS VENETIAN GONDOLA
VENICE, Dec. 17.—The age-old Venetian gondola is threatened by the "fliver."
For centuries Venice has been approachable only by gondola, hence motor cars and horse-drawn vehicles have been unknown in the streets of Venice.
Now a project has been undertaken for joining Venice to the mainland by a bridge. This will make Venice available to motor cars and will probably cut upon the romantic business of the gondoliers.
The proposed bridge will be nearly two miles long, and will cost about $1,500,000. It is expected to take three years for its completion.
The question of the bridge has been the subject of a feud for the last century. The sentimentalists and the artists have argued against the bridge, but now the commercial and industrial necessities of Venice have made the bridge a certainty.
MUST COUNT IDEALS
DEFIANCE, O., Dec. 17.—That religion, education and government are the three phases of American life to which every citizen must devote a large share of his, or her, time and money if the ideals of the nation are to be maintained, is the claim made by A. P. Sandles, of Ottawa, former state secretary of agriculture, addressing a local audience.

It will be recalled that she met her husband when returning from Australia, she the rich, admired belle of the ship and he the humble wireless operator.
They fell in love, and after she had stayed for some weeks in the little 4-room cottage of her husband's parents in Lanarkshire—the father-in-law is a Scotch coal miner—they got married.
That was last July. But now the family is expecting an increase, and McKenna and Lady Pleasance, living in a tiny apartment near Oxford street, London, are finding that his small salary is not quite sufficient for three, although two manage to struggle long upon it.
Hence the Earl's daughter, formerly a queen of London's most aloof and fashionable world, is going to work to support her child.
TENNIS FANS 'SEED THE DRAW'
LONDON, Dec. 17.—The American system of "seeding the draw" will probably be introduced at the lawn tennis championships at Wimbledon next year.
This was decided by the rules committee to avoid "the possibility of foreign and overseas players who come from a long distance meeting each other in the early rounds of the championships."
The new method is expected to provide exciting finals.

ENGLISH TEACHER WILD WEST WRITER
NORMAN, Okla., Dec. 17.—Where is the teacher or professor who feels flattered and bubbles over with joy when he finds a pupil secretly reading "Buffalo Bill" or the life of some other widely known plainsman?
"Here that person is," promptly replies the Oklahoma University, for this institution has in its faculty a professor of English who is the author of picturesque tales of life on the Indian reservations a century ago. He is Prof. W. F. Campbell.
"Happy Hunting Grounds" is the title of Campbell's 60,000-word novel, which will be published early in 1924 by the Standard Book Co.
Professor Campbell has a master's degree received at Oxford University, England.

SNAPPING TURTLE
BITES WHEN DEAD
OLEAN, N. Y., Dec. 17. — The body had gone into soup two days before, but the head of a snapping turtle displayed at the Elks' club still had all the power in the bite of its teeth. Today Patrick Collins knows more about turtles.
A party of Elks captured the turtle in the mud of Olean creek and took the prize to the club. The steward cut off the head and turtle soup was served. The steward kept the head and demonstrated its bite with a stick.
"That's a mighty weak bite," said Collins, and he placed a little finger between the teeth. Two men with sticks were able to pry open the jaw after several minutes. Now there's a bandage around the digit.
YOUTHS MUST GO
TO SCHOOL, THO WED
CHARLESTON, W. Va., Dec.
17. — Children in West Virginia cannot hope to escape school attentance by merely getting married, according to a ruling just made by E. T. England, attorney-general of the state. An opinion was given at the request of A. B. Baxter of Quick, Kanawha county, with regard to the case of a child of 13 who married at that age. "It is the policy of the state," the opinion states, "to require with certain exceptions and exemptions, all children between the ages of 7 and 14 to attend public schools as an inducement to better citizenship. Marriage does not fall within any of the exemptions."
LONGEST BRIDGE
HAS MANY LIGHTS
Lighting facilities such as seaports never knew one short generation ago, have just been installed on a long pier in Brooklyn. This is a notable pier, 1780 feet long, the longest in the United States and the second longest in the world. The installation of lights gives it a chance to be disinguished as one of the best-lighted docks as well. It is located at the foot of 35th st.
Up and down its busy length there are three rows of electric lights. In each row the lamps are set 40 feet apart, making a total of 130 lamps, each of them a 200-watt Mazda.
It is a common remark from those who come to see, that one can never tell that it is midnight merely from the darkness or the quiet, which tradition associates with after-dark hours. "Night on the pier is a space on the clock—nothing more."
In this manner, the world's commerce goes steadily onward, day and night, 24 hours out of 24. But without the modern high-powered electric light, such service, affecting almost everyone's life, hidden though the influence may be, would be quite out of the question.
