THE RELATIVE MERITS
OF FLAT AND HOME LIFE
An Interesting Symposium Being Con-
Quoted by Magazine.

An interesting symposium is being
conducted by The Home Science Maya
zine" on the relative merits of fat and
home life. The impression - general in
many quarters that the substitution OF
the fiat for the individual home implies
and results in a gradual weakening OF
the institution of the family. and that 1t
begets selhshness and Indifference to
civic claims However that may be. it is
unquestionably true that the apartment
Is displacing the single house in most
large American cities.
During the past year, in Manhattan,
while business blocks, hotels and apart
ment houses have been going up by the
hundred. only forty or fifty new separate
houses were built. and these belonged
mostly to men Of great wealth. If fam
lies with small incomes want to live in
houses by themselves, they have to go
north Of the Harlem River, to Brooklyn,
or to the Staten Island, Jersey and Long
Island suburbs. In view of these facts,
the editors of THE Home Science Maga-
zine" are asking their readers such ques-
lions as: Do you prefer TO live in an
apartment or in house? Why? If you
began your housekeeping in an apart
ment, were you able to make an earlier
beginning on that account? Have you
ever known of a landlord who was I'M
willing to let his apartments to families
with children? How does life In a fat
affect the problems of child training?
Have you found that life in apartments
made you or your friends less sensitive
to civic claims-i. c.. is a householder
who has only indirect connection with
the collector OF ashes and garbage. and
who is freed from care of the sidewalks.
Indifferent to municipal housekeeping on
that account?
great many answers to these queries
have been received. some Of them enter
teining and all OF them interesting. A
Boston woman. whose first name is
Vega, and who says che has kept house
in cottages. houses, single and semi
detached, fats and rooms, In seven diff
ferent towns. prefers a fat to a house
OF more than one story. Yes, she has
known OF landlords who were unwilling
TO let their apartments to families with
children, but usually they have been
landIadies
Children certainly need more room for
play, otherwise fat dwellers are no
more and no less selfish than other peo-
pie. and the Christian virtues may be
developed quite as easily in a fat as
anywhere else" Robert Treat Paine
gives 1t as ais judgment that fat living
affects the problems of child training
to a grave extent. leading often TO very
unsatisfactory results. Mrs. Mary w

mantle wedding celebrated at the home

Willing. OF Culpeper, Va
The young lady is Of Catholic parent
age, and, while there was no objection
10 the marriage, her family insisted, so
IL is said. that it be celebrated accord
Ing 10 the Catholic rites. Mr. De Graft
enried, however, is of Presbyterian stock.
and persuaded his bride-to-be to be mar
rled by a Protestant ritual This decis-
ion was reached suddenly, while Miss
Willing was in the city.
Mr.. De Graffenried is an attorney, who
formerly had Offices at Ninth Street and
Pennsylvania Avenue. but who for some
time, in obedience 20 the orders Of a
physician. has been driving a bread
wagon, in order that he might be out Of
doors as much as possible.
It was ten minutes before the time for
closing Al the City Hall on Monday when
he rushed in in his shirt sleeves and
demanded a marriage license. He was
Unprepared with the name OF minister,
however, and had to leave until he
could secure one, IN accordance with law.
He was back in time. however. with the
name of DR.. PltTer. the license was Sc
cured. and the wedding took place the
same evening.
. Mr.. and Mrs. De Graffenried left the
same night on brief wedding tour

TO MAKE THOROUGH TEST
OF THE NAMES BOILERS

Acting Secretary of the Navy Darling
has ordered that the Niclausse boilers
in the battleship Maine be given a
thorough test early in September. when
the Maine will again be ready for sea.
Rear Admiral George ". Melville and
several other naval officers have ex-
pressed the opinion that the NicIausse
boilers are unsatisfactory. AS this type
of boiler is to be Installed in several
of the battleships now building. the
Navy Department feels that thorough
test must be made of the boiler before
it comes into more general use.
The Maine Will probably be sent on q
voyage of several thousand miles and
will be run at various rates of speed to
give the boilers test under all con-
ditions.

Underwater. Va, Aug 14.-Contin-

The aerial corps are beginning to
think the weather man is by no means
favorable to their scheme. The summer
has proved so unusually wet that the

change before long.
End of Repairs in Sight.
Work on the suDerstructure was cor

the launching apparatus will probably be
in shape for a trial Monday, provided
the weather is good. 1t is almost sure
that another test will be made with a
model aerodrome, possibly several. be-
fore an experiment IS made with the
large machine.
An attempt will be made in the next
model test to have the machine settle
gently on the surface of the water, in
stead OF plunging head first into the
mud of the Potomac. as in the trial a
week ago.
Depends on Fuel.
The machine, 1t is thought, will fly
until the fuel gives out. which produces
the motive power, and then, If guided
correctly by the automatic steering and
balancing gear. will descend gradually
