The Hall Bedroom.

The working woman who wishes to
fit up her single room, whatever it's
size to resemble studio or parlor,
rather than a bedroom, is obliged to
dispense entirely with the washstand
which is, while dispensable, a most
comfortable possession for one living
in lodgings or boarding.
1t remained for bachelor girl with
ideas, whom this problem recently con-
fronted, to discover a means of re-
tanning the useful bowl and pitcher
without in any way marring the ap-
pearance Of her little study. ",
She got a carpentry to fasten to the
inside of the clothes closet door
strong brackets on which was mounted
a rounded wooden shelf. The shelf
had hole near forward edge large
enough to receive the bottom of the
washbowl and to hold it securely. A
thin strip of wood about one and one
half inches wide nailed to the outer
edge of the shelf, which completes the
prevent the tooth mug, soap dish and
other toilet belongings from sliding off
when the door is opened. A nickel
plated towel rack holding three towels
was screwed to the door within conven-
lent reach. The basin and pitcher
selected were of the light metal order,
sold of late in the shops, thus avoid
ing the unnecessary weight Of crockery
belongings on the shelf and door,,

The August Furniture Sales.

The economical and far.seeing woman
sales of this month to replenish the
needed pieces in her home. Prices on
machine as well as handsome furniture
are in many instances reduced to one
third and even to one-half OF the orlgi-
nal selling price.
This reduction is made not. only, on
odd pieces such as were considered in
GOOD style several years ago, but on the
period furniture Of Louis XIV, XIV
and XVI, that is now considered smart
for parlors and drawing rooms, and on
mahogany and Circassian walnut bed
room sets, as we'll as on the colonial
and Venetian patterns in dining room
chairs and tables in other woods.
But thruout the shopping district all
furniture has been reduced and the din.

lines known as the New England colo
NAL can be bought cheap, as can also
rate southern colonial. This latter
style has all the deep curves and we'll
proportional lines of the New England
designs, and in addition has the carved
legs and corners that are decorated
with scroll devices, or with the claw
and ball feet with which we are all so
familiar.
Even the beautiful Circassian walnut
pieces that are fashionable this season
are being disposed of at low figures.
Bedroom sets in the light woods and
enamels are all marked down, and the
new white mahogany suits, imported
for the first time this season, are be-

A Novel Wall Decoration.

A young woman in Indiana is COW

That it is great task to collect the
number Of stamps required as we'll as

mated by mass of figures that one
plan for papering the room will require
1s6,912 stamps, while another idea for
clever design and color effect would
require 91,160 stamps. The room is

three months. To complete the great
job of paper or stamp hanging will
require about seven months time. She

The architects say: "Building con-
struction Of concrete was in common
use during the Roman era, and has
been used more or less in. some form
or another in Europe since then.
"Concrete by itself, considered as a
building material, is nothing more than
a kind Of masonry, and only distinguish
able from ordinary rubble masonry by
the methods Of mixing and placing. the
materials. The value Of either rubble
or concrete depends greatly upon the
mixing and placing.
"With the introduction of modern
concrete. the ease. with which rods or
bars of metal may be embedded any
where, was readily seen and taken ad-
vantag Of. It is well known from
actual tests that the compressive re-
sistance of concrete is many times its
tensile resistance, while steel has about
the same strength in tension as in COM
preston. For the same volume the cost
of concrete is only a fraction of the
cost of steel. For the same sectional
areas, in compression steel has about
thirty times the resistance of concrete,
but in tension steel has about three
hundred times the strength Of concrete,
hence it will readily be seen that the
ideal mode of construction, both fol-
strength and economy, is that in which
is most scientifically combined both
steel and concrete, the one to resist ten,
sion, the other to resist compression.
-ts.Steel embedded in concrete is prac
I.tically free from corrosion The fire
resisting qualities of concrete are high
and probably not exceeded by any
building material except fire brick. Con
crete, intelligently reinforced with steel
is eminently adapted to all forms Of
construction where durability, strength
fire resistance, combined with economy
are to be desired.' j.

pleasure, but to furnish it for $15 and

For Change of Road.

Quite delegation from Mechanicstown
and Hauyers districts were before the Coun'
ty Commissioners on Monday last asking
that the road from Thurmont to Deerfeld
he so changed as to AVOID the large hills he
tween the wooden trestle and the stone quar-
nv of the W. NJ. Railroad, but the commits
sioners concluded that the change was not
necessary Mr.. Zentz is In favor Of the
change and we advise these who are inter
ested in this road, to buy few two cent
stamps and tell the other members OF the
board whats what" and may be they will
change their mind. Our roads, at least some
of them, could stand some improvements,
and we believe that it is just as wise to spend
a few dollars in the north end Of Frederick
county, as to spend $4,000 or $4,000 down
at Bladdock Heights on another mile OF
model road. Did we hear anybody say
Amen?

To Fix Their Sessions.

A bill has been introduced by Delegate
Nicodemus to limit the sessions of the Or
phans Court for Frederick making their SEES
sions but two days week, and then once a
month they can hold weeks session con-
tinuously. This Is partially non-sensical
bill, gotten up by some one who had an mag
mary grievance at the Orphans Court. We
say abolish the Orphans Court, but as long
as we have the Court in Its present shape,
don't impair its usefulness, 90 that the pub
lie who has business before 1t is dlscommod-
ed. The law now gives the right to the
Court to fix its sessions and then to be call
ed in special session by anyone having ur-
gent business before it. But by the provis
ions of the Nicodemus bill, it makes no diff
ference how urgent your business may be-
you cannot get the Court until The law lets
1t come. 1t is not so with the Circuit Court
and it should not be so with the Orphans
Court.
