Exception to Rule That Familiarity
 Breeds COntempt.

Breeds COntempt.
 The Swiss Alps. known to the cau- casian race long before Hannibal and Julius Caesar led the carthaginian and Roman legions through their passes, are an exception to the rule that fa- mlliardty breeds contempt. Although known for so many centuries, 1t is only within the last hundred years that the chiefest of the great family of noun tain monarchs crowding the Swiss Con- federacy have been conquered. It was not until 1865 that the Matterhorn was first ascended. thousands today make the humped-up little Republic with It's hundreds of peaks more than 10000 feet in height their summer play ground. They never trifle with the summits, however. and the ascension or some of the mountains today Is consid- cred feat almost worthy of more than local record.
 There are many legends told of the neigh borhood of the Matterhorn. One Is about the origin of the name Of the Theodule Pass, which joins Piedmont Italy, and the Cantoa of Valals, be- tween the Matterhorn and the Brett horn at an elevation of 10000 feet. IL is supposed to commemorate the name of St. Theodule who lived in the tourth century and was HTSI plsH0p pA DAOlt' ruling for ten years, from 3Sl to 39l. The remarkabl manner of his passage, according to tradition. of this elevated gateway out of Italy on one occasion was the origin of the name. The Pope had given the prelate fine bell in recognition of his efforts In obtaining the conversion of the Valley Of the Rhone to Christianity. The bell was for some time a white elephant on his hands. He did not know how to get It over the Alps into his see. At this Iuncture Satan appeared and offered to carry the bell and the Bishop on his hack over to Sion if the Bishop would agree to give over the dominion or his soul forever to the Prince of Darkness in the event of the completion or the task before cockcrow. The bargain was struck and the journey begun. Long before dawn the devil had reach ed the city walls, and was about to bound over when the Bishop, fearful of the consequences, cried. crow cocks, crow. or forever hold your peace" Immediately the roosters crowed and thus formed the habit of growing betimes in the morning.

the bell with all his force, and 1t waa buried many feet in the ground.
 Unlike the Matterhorn. the Jnngfrau. in the Bernese Alps. did not resist so long the efforts to reach the summit. In 1911 the Meyers of Aarau, climbed to the crest of the slender. majestic. white mountain. While In the course of the succeeding forty years the as- cent was made only four times today 1t Is accomplished not infrequently. The frowning crest of the Matterhorn was not attained till 1865. This feat was performed by Whymper.
 Of all the peaks that surround the picturesque valley in which Engelberg lies none Is so captivating to eye and mind as the giant form of the Titiis. l0,627 feet high. In the evening when the village Is clothed in a cloak Of shadows cast by the mountain chain the snows of the Tltlis flush in the af- ternOon glow and the peak seems no longer cold. but illuminated by hid- den fire. the flames of which threaten to burst from 1t at any moment. It is typical of the scenic beauties of Switz- erland.

attend the last exhibition given in the old Baptist Church building on North Court Street by the National Associa- tion for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis.
 Even the holding of the election last night surprised many. 1t had been said unofficially that the Council would doubtlessly accept the invitation to at- tend the last meeting at the tubercu- losis exhibition and that adjournment would be had immediately after roll call. When, however. D. W. Crosland acting City Clerk in place of City Clerk John J. Farley, who was absent on &C., count of illness. had called the roll, a communication from the Mayor and a report were read and the Council was at once in the midst of business.
 Those present when rol1 was called were: President Gunter, vice-Presi- dent Ruth, who was in the chair. AL dermen Johnson, Jones. Kennedy. Moritz, Parrish. Perry, Saul, Seidle. Thompson, Toole and Virgin. Alder man Lowe came In late and Alderman Sullivan later.
 There had already been a considera- tion of business and much talk about adjournment when Alderman Johnson moved that the Council proceed to the election of an Alderman to Ill the va cancy caused by the resignation of J. c. Tyson. Without going into execu- tive session the Council, by vote, be- gan the task.
 Election Quickly Finished.
 It was quickly done. President Gun ter presented the name of Mir. Kinds. Vice President Ruth, Mir. Tyson's col- league, presented the name of MT. Burch. MT. Moritz, thinking MT. Letcher was a candidate, offered his name. but withdrew 1t at MT. Letcher's request Alderman Seidle presented MT. Johnson's name.
 On roll call the votes were cast as follows:
 For MT. Hinds--Fresident Gunter. Aldermen Jones. Kennedy, Lowe, Morttz, Perry. Saul, Toole and Virgin.
 For MT. Burci1--Vice-Preside Ruth, Aldermen Johnson, Parrish, Thompson.
 The election was then made unanf- nous.
 MT. Ruth from the chair declared Mir Hinds elected and the new member at once took the oath and his seat.
 The other matters considered last night comprised a communication from the Mayor and the report of City Elec- trician B A. Blakey.
 Mayor Teague's message was a veto of an ordinance adopted by the Coun- ell appropriating $100 to defray the ex penses of Chief of Police w. H. Tay- Tor to the national convention of police chiefs in Detroit June 22. The Mayor vetoed the ordinance on the ground that the city was too stressed for money to afford the expenditure. The message lay over to unfinished busi- ness,
 The report of the Electrician had the same course. It concerned the condi- ton of the rolling stock and tracks of the Montgomery Traction Cmpany and A. -t kt.. aa now giving. The report noted numer- ous improvements already made and many not accomplished.
 Wednesday Nights Session.
 The session tomorrow night will in clude the important matters not con- sidered last night. They are princi- pally the adoption of the uniform charter bill and the discussion of plans for the conduct of the city's finances during the summer.
 The Council adjourned at s:3o last night.

CONCRETE HOUSES,
This Form of Building Rapidly
Growing in Favor.

This Form of Building Rapidly
Growing in Favor.
Each summer brings changes in the de-
sign bf houses of moderate cost, and in
the materials used in their construction
WithR recent years concrete has been
used extensively, and it is becoming more
agd more poI ular. Concrete is only a
mixture Of cement, sand, stone and water,
Interpretations varying with the particu-
lar application. For ordinary building
purposes one part of cement, two and
one half to three parts Of sand, and five
to seven parts of stone, moderately well
moistened with water, make good mix
ture.
Concrete has been used for centuries
During the days OF King Solomon, walls
and arches were built Of it, and many OF
them are still in good state of preserva-
ton. The invention and development of
machinery for making the mixture and
moulding into blocks has rendered it pos
sible to use quantities of concrete. Dur
ing the past year 100000 barrels of
cement were used in the United States
twenty-five years ago. Millions of dollars
are now invested in plants manufacturing
cement, concrete mixers, and moulding
machines.
A better house can be built of concrete
for the money than of wood, brick, or
stone. A concrete house can be erected at
a cost nearly as reasonable as wooden
TO- half no % Lr;ol
and quarter the cost of stone, and it
has the further advantage of costing less
to keep in repair. Sand and stone are
generally found near the building site, SO
the freight and carriage bills can be kept
at minimum. Again, only few skilled
laborers are needed in mixing and placing
the concrete, while with brick or stone,
high priced men are required, and the
waste OF materials is much greater.
Hollow machine made blocks, from six
teen to twenty-four inches in length, and
from six to twelve inches in thickness,
are used. Now an attractive house can
be built with them for about a, 1000. A
few years ago such a building could not
have been undertaken for two or three
times as much. 1t is easy to obtain
variety Of architectural effects, as fancy
cornices, imitation stone, ETC., by using
different shaped moulds for the blocks,
and adding colors to the concrete.
The air spaces in the blocks have many
advantages. The cushion Of air keeps the
it warmer in winter and cooler in summer
