CONVENTION OF NATURAL
RESOURCES.

kIeaQer Magazlne, Indlanap0lis)
The United States has astonish-
ed the world by spectacular ra pidity
of development. We came into the
sisterhood of nations an evangel Of
liberty and a herald of better days
to the nations. But we are the
spendthrift, the waster, the ne'er-
do-well Of nations Beginning in
modern times with incomparably
rich natural resources, we have
ravaged a continent of its wood
coal and iron, and we smilingly
face the exhaustion of our bank ac-
count in these things like boy in
the midst of his sowing wild oats.
Our forests are gone. The scatter
ed fragments left will disappear in
twenty years. The pinch of ex-
hausting coal fields has begun;
and the best authorizes are COM
putting the time of the end of our
supply, trying to tell whether it will
be our children or our grandchild-
rem who will have to face the future
without coal. We have vast re-
serves of waterp power, coal, iron
and lands capable of reclamation
and reforestation, but we seem to
have no adequate conception of
of our duties toward them, to our
selves, our country or posterity
Onr soil is being washed away in
to the rivers, and by them carried
to the sea, and our boasted fertility
of soil is thereby being lessoned
year by year; but the irrepairable
drain is ignored. Our neglect is
almost equal to our active waste.
The vast protentialities of our wat
erways in bearing commerce aud
in furnishing water power have
neglected. But a new era seems
dawning. President Roosevelt is
bringing these matters into the
field of practical craftsmanship.
The Inland Waterways Com mis-
sion has been constituted by him
as a great agony for pointing out
these national dangers and coordin-
ating the governmental plans for
our national resources.
In constructive craftsmanship, the
work outlined rises to the most ex-
allied plane. 1t demands the at
tention of every American. On its
success depends the future. We
must make most of what is left of
our once great estate; we must stop
waste; we must keep our natural
resources from the grasp of monop-

FIRE DEPARTMENT FOOLED.
Made An Excellent Run to Fourteenth
Avenue for Escaping Steam.

The fire department had a cold
run Friday evening for nothing.
Neighbors in the vicinity OF Ninth
street and Fourteenth avenue sent
in the alarm, as ii looked as il the
residence OF DR.. Wood was burning
down. 1t is handsome brick cot
tage formerly owned by Henry Will
liams, and has been vacant for a
couple of days. Last evening the
owner started fire to prevent the
bursting OF the steam pipes II is
hot water plan and the ice in the
pipes prevented the circulation OF the
water. which became so hot in the
boiler that it filled the house with
steam through the escape valve. and
was seen issuing from the vent pipe
in the roof At the same time the
chimney was emitting sparkle from
the hot fire and the aspect was such
as TO give the idea that the house
was burning The real cause was
not ascertained until after the fro
men had chopped hole in the roof
Inc response of the fire department
was excellent and two streams M

rev minutes after the alarm. This
was the first run made from the neu.

In the first place very few pota-

Once when there was an immense
c-op in this district. and none al all
in the east. and local dealers were
caught with full warehouses ana no
sale. several hundred cars went to
the New York market; and though
the farmers only got abou, fifteen
cents a hundred for their crop, the
shippers were unable TO clear any
money on the deal. and since then

that OF the High Five is il possible
to spend such sums for the develop

really glad that her mother and aunt

Maud Marian was very cross at hav-

idea of abandoning the practice of

chair on all occasions. and had often
been unceremoniously routed from a

gladly got up into the chair, which Maud

UST as every capable and self-suffi-
y cient house mother likes to run her
own home free from interference and
unsought advice, Just so do our small
daughters feel about the management
OF their own tiny doll households. And
that is why one big baby house to a
family of more than one small girl-to
be played with by one or more little
maidens at one and the same time-is
sometimes a fruitful source OF heart
burn, pickering and tears.
Thoroughly realizing this important
fact. kind and most indulgent father
Of three little girls has evolved from
the inner sources of his own ingenuity
the triplex apartment shown below, in
which two households OF very small
dolls live in friendliest relations back

The entire building rests on a low
table IN the playroom. where each
small owner may, in her own particular
little rocking chair, sit directly in front
Of her respective doll house, furnished
according TO individual taste in style
and tints and arranged entirely to her
own liking, and superintend affairs to
suit herself.
The dolls can freely associate with
out leaving the building" as the three
small apartments connect by their back
doors. which gives every facility for
friendly suggestion, timely advice and
frst aid to the injured. The three little
lnaioens spend many happy hours be-
fore this three in one mansion, the big
and heavy black storm cloud which so
frequently lowers over the old single
copartnership doll mansion being con-
splcuous entirely by its absence.
This little triplex apartment house
was built in less than week, in the
evening hours only, and presents so
few difficulties in construction that any
father, uncle, big brother or cousin at
The San Francisco call., 1908-10-10

all handy with tools can readily put
one together.
After the house is built each little
house keeper may select her own wall
paper from odds and ends of paper which
have been left from papering the house.
If there is no wall paper to be had,
plain colored paper is very nice. The
border may be made of a plain paper of
a contrasting color. For kitchen
brown paper is nice. Very smooth light
manila paper does nicely for walls also
and may be used as a background on
which decorations in colors may be
made either with water colors or cray
on. Buy the use of ruler even person
who is not very skillful with paint or
crayon may make a paneled wall.
straight band of color being made
across the top for a frieze and straight
lines of color drawn from this down to
the bottom of the wall at equal dis
tances apart
If the paper hanger is also able to
draw designs he or she may have plain
side walls with festoons around the top
for frieze. 1t fs also possible to cut
ornaments out of bright colored paper
which may be pasted on a wall of an
other color for a frieze. Dado effects
are also nice in papering dolls houses.
The floors may be stained if the little
mother desires, although carpet and,
mating are equally fashionable. Denim
is very nice material for a floor COW
ering. II the floor is stained then IT is
very good fun to make rugs for the
house. All little girls who have learned
how to braid in kindergarten can do
this. Two color braid rugs are very
nice. The braid is plated in and out
so as to make a check pattern. The
ends may be fringed or turned under
and bound with an extra braid All
sizes of rugs may be made in this fash
ion, and they may be either square or
oblong. II oblong all the braids OF one
color must be of the same length, but
the two colors of braid must be of diff
ferent lengths. Blue and white braid
makes very charming rugs when used
in this fashion. Green and white or
