Long Island windmills have the dis.
tinction of starting a fashion in cot
tage architecture, as one can see at
South and East Hampton. Originally
an old mill was bought and number
of rooms tackled on to it, the mill
forming the elevated and picturesque
portion of the whole. But windmills
are not built for residence, not, in this
country at least, and neither wind nor
rain has much respect for its thin
walls. The next step was to build a
cottage with windmill tower as an
integral part, and so it happens that
the windmill has become the founda-
ton for a style-limited, it is true, to
villas few and far between, but yet in
sufficient number to attract attention
from those who are observant.
What is more interesting, perhaps,
to architect and archaeologist is the
fact that in these windmills we have
a survival of one of the most print
tive styles of architecture in Europe,
the circular hut and tower to which
belong such far-apart buildings as the
Pantheon at Rome, the tomb of Theo.
doric at Ravenna, the round towers
and beehive huts of Ireland, the snow
igloos of the Eskimos. In the twelfth
century, when windmi1ls are first
heard of, the wood and waffle round
house and tower were still common
in Western Europe. It was easy to
find among country people builders OF
such a simple structure-one that
could be rotated to make the vans
catch the breeze at the necessary an.
gle, yet strong enough to stand the

were kept for pleasure and diversion
that is, for cock fighting-and the
breed was already many centuries old
when the Romans came. The Phoe-

the game fowl; they drew their knowl-
edge of the sport from the Persians,
while in India, nearly 5000 years ago,
the fighting cock fought and -four

PIANO BUYERS
Our house occupies a unique position in
the piano trade of Southern California, in
that We are the only concern that has ever
been able to sell all grades of pianos on
euch low terms as $500 first payment and
$500 per month without interest.
We make this unqualified proposition to
anyone who may desire to own any piano
from good medium grade up to the best
instrument produced in America, viz: Pay
us only $500 when we deliver the piano to
your home and only $500 per month, WITH
OUT INTEREST
No other piano house has ever done this
and not one of them understand how we can
afford to do 1t. In fact ii was unanimously
predicted by them that we would bankrupt
ourselves If we continued it. Well, we have
continued it and we are here feeling pretty
we'll too. There Is no stronger piano house
in the city today than ours financially
Really, we do not blame these competitors
of for fighting us. They are all good
citizens, and naturally enough they rebel
interests They all want us TO stop selling
on such very low terms as we do and join
them in their policy of getting aA large u
first payment they can and correspond

our plan Of charging no interest hurts them

as it is to knock it off"
