Hardwood Floors

or the woods used for flooring pnr'
poses, those most common are the
Georgia or Southern pine, oak, pIrch'
beech, hickory and maple. Each has
it's own merits and most have theif
disadvantages.
The Georgia pine has thus far OCeh
more used for flooring in our country
than any other wood, and this Is part
ly due to its inexpensiveness, the aver
age cost per square foot hen lald
being five cents. In color it is a light
yellow and admits Of all excellent POI
ish, but it has one great disadvantage
that is, a tendency to silver which
can be only partially overcome by the
manner of laying the boards.
Though the most careful workman
ship may be used in the laying OF the
floor the inequality of surface can be
removed only by a thorough sand
papering. No water must touch the
wood until the polishing has been ap
piled; in fact. water should never
touch the wood itself but only the APP
piled polish.
The American Architect and Build
ing News says; 1t must be remem'
bered that not a drop OF water has
touched the wood since it left the sa"
mill and none must touch it until de-
manded by soiling incidental to daily
use, or more strictly speaking, none
come nearer the wood than the pol.
ishing covering the wood. After the
floor is perfectly smooth and free
from all stains or dust the following
mixture should be applied hot: Four
ounces of English resin, twelve ounces
parafin and one gallon tu%rpentine.
This mixture will make a solution On.
ly under heat and should be applied
to the floor as hot as possible. with a
cloth or brush. or better still a felt
applicator. After standing a few
hours it should be briskly rubbed with
q felt or wooden rubber: it Is then
ready for use, This protects wood
from water or whatever else may fall
upon It and also fills in the pores,
thus preventing s~hrinkage, which is a
very important factor in keeping a
floor smooth"
The proper tools for keeping a hard.

sary. If the floor Is TO he waxed after
vanishing a good wax brush must be
used, also a hair brush and a hard
floor mop. There are a number of
reliable polishes which can be pur-
chased and these may be applied by
anyone who will follow the simple di-
rections accompanying the can.
The floor should be wiped each day
with white, soft cloths, and once a
week smoothed with a rubber. The
pest remedy for a soiled floor is a
washing with warm soapsuds, a thor
ough airing and a reapplication of
polish. S. A, Osgood.

Weightnlen Will Contest
Promises to Be Bitter
Mrs. Walker, Daughter of philadelphia's

move In what is declared the biggest
VIII contest that ever took place In
America is expected very soon by her
attorneys, after which the fight for the
$6e, 0O0,O0O or more of the late William
Weightnan will be vigorously pushed.
The attorneys for Mrs Walker. as well
as for Mrs. Jones Wister who is max
ing the fight for her daughters, now de-
clare that there is little prospect for
anything but the bitterest fight that
was ever waged in American courts
over the estate of millions, and the
dirty linen of the Weightman family
Is to be washed IN the courts.
The friends of Mrs. Wister and her
minor daughter, for whom she has
launched the contest, state that they
have for months held Mrs. Wister off In
the hope that Mrs. Walker would see
the justice Of providing for the children
of the two sons of the dead chemist.
claiming that both John f. Weightman
and William Weightman, jr., were part
ners in the business and went to early
graves through their hard work in the
chemical works.
Mrs. Walker Will Not Yield.
Some of her own attorneys and DR..
Norton, the husband OF one Of Mrs.
Wister's daughters, and who had the
confidence of Mrs Walker, are said to
have exhausted all their resources In
endeayoring to have Mrs. Walker make
such provisions for her fathers grand
children as would put an end to the
scandal that must follow a contest in
the courts. They now admit that they
have failed and that Mrs. Walker, when
last heard from. was determined to
spend millions rather than give up a
brothers offspring. Unless she will
change her determination her attorneys
viii have to prepare for the battle and
fight up to the United States Supreme
Court, IL the lower courts decide against
her.

Roosevelt and Nicholas.

The first servant of the United
States and the Autocrat of All the
Russias have been brought into strik-
ing contrast within the last few days.
The. logic Of events and Mr.. Roose-
velt's clear, forcefui, and direct per-
sonality have brought this contrast
about and today these two men stand
foremost in the worlds view as
typifying the light and shade of di-
plomacy end government.
BY their fruits shall ye know them.
Both men have enormous possibilities
for good and for evil, each is the
titular head of a great nation, one
representing the extreme development
of modern democracy and the other
an autocratic tyranny that, perhaps,
has never been surpassed in wealth,
power, or Capitalization Roosevelt
is man of the people, governing
them by their free choice and unques-
tionably for their own benefit Mich
olas is, in law, the only free n,aE in
all his hereditary dominions; he is
the head not only of the state but of
the church as well; in theory, at
least, he controls the destinies OF all
his subjects not only in this life but
In the life to come-the supposition
being that the Divinity whose power
he is supposed to represent will al
ways guide his actions so that the
White Car and Little Father will
never err.
Nicholas and Roosevelt are as di-
verse as a formless, threatening
thundercloud driven hither and
thither by conflicting winds, and a
modern dynamo firmly emplaced upon
eternal truth and righteousness and
furnishing heat, light, and power to
the peoples. The only promise Mich
olas ever gave Of anything of value
to humanity was his proposal for the
restriction of ornaments. and that
was as effective as the heat-lightning
of sultry night; when he really got
to work, when the results of his pol
icfes began to devlop, his every move
ment Of vacillation and uncertainty
was electric with disaster to his peo-
pie and the race at large.
Autocracy has been tried under the
most favorable conditions and found
wanting. The exhibition made by
Nicholas, the Car governing by Di-
vine Right and backed up by 81 the
powers Of state and church, will be
put side by side with the works of
Roosevelt, the man of the people, the
servant of the state. and the world
will draw it's own irresistible con-
clusions.

A battery fire like that is apt to
silence the guns of a bigger ar
senal than The Times The hardest
thing about it is that it is all true. We
men do wear cuffs on our trousers
without any reason under heaven. A
haberdashers' journal once invented
a reason to the effect that the trouser
broke" better over a low shoe when
1t was built" with a cuff, but the
transparency Of the subterfuge was
evident. Our silk hats are as ridicu-
lous as the buttons on the back of
our coats, and nothing could be more
ridiculous than those buttons, we ad-

they are utterly prepogterous. There
is room for reform here, surely.
