Surprising Beauty of Our Cottage


No one of Daytona' - attractions.
perhaps, commands more nearly uni
versal attention and praise than does
the artistic cottages. The owners OF
these charming villas hail from every
corAcr ut the country and they bring
thelr own architectural plans and
build upon them. and, as the archj-
tectura of one section of the country
differs from the architecture OF an
other so do our homes differ in
outward appearance and structural
beauty from one another. There are
no mUnotonous rows of strikingly
similar build ugs but the eye, as it
sweeps by, is treated to a kaleido-
scopic change which keeps the mind
wondering. What next?"
1t IS not only the exterior of many
OF Dhese homes which riyets atten-
tton; w'tb.E they are models of con
yenience, and the finishing and furn-
lShing give evidence of the elegance
and cultivation of those who worked
it all out. Indeed, it is the interior
arrangement and artistic furnishing
and shading, more than the exterior
appearance that gives a SURPRISING
charm 10 Daytona homes. This fea-
ture Justly merits prominence as an
other wonder.

The Throckmorton milk inspection

the hands or its opponents at the hear
ing yesterday before the House Com
mittce on Mining and Agriculture. and
IAN who appeared before the commit
tee were its opponents Not one lone
friend appeared in it's defense, but Mr.
Throckmorton said that he had the
close Of the debate, and that its friends
would be heard from later. The hear
ing was not completed yesterday, and
was adjourned until next Wednesday.
DR.. f. &. Levy. chief health officer
OF Richmond, led the attack on the
this bill. but also another offered at :he
| beginning Of the hearing by Mr.
lJhrockmortOn. This measure would
require all dairy inspectors, when en-
lplOyed by the cities, to be examined
and to secure certificates from. the
State Dairy and Food Commissioners
All rulings OF such inspectors would be
lappealable to the State Dairy Inspector
and to the State Health Commissioners
The opponents Of State interference
tcould not see any good in this meas
lure either. The fight is one Of local
option against State option, as well as
Tor efhcient inspection. Those who op-
pose the bill do so on the ground that

lhealth, but that IT violates every prin-
lciple of local self-government
| All three of the Throckmorton
measures are bad, is the opinion of DR..
Levy. State standard, he said, will
not do, for if it is low 1t will endanger
public health. and IL 1t is high it will
drive out of business dairies in towns
which have not advanced far in mat

The American beef so sold is

When the bill providing for an ap-
preparation of $4,000 for the reteR-
ton of Major William A Anderson
to continue the litigation in the Vir-
West Virginia debt case reaches
the House, there will be a vigorous
protest.
Mr.. Merritt L. Cooke, OF Norfolk, a
membe of the House Finance Com
mittec, has announced that he will
resist the measure and will do so on
the ground that il is a violation of the
agreement with the holders eff the Ger
uhcaleS OF West Virginia, they having
agreed that they would hold the State
harmless as to costs, paying all ex-
penses conditioned on the suit being
brought in the name of the State, and
further agreed to accept whatever
might be the result of the litigation
in fun settlement of all claims against
Virginia for her responsibility in the
controversy
There are other influential mem
bers Of the House who will oppose
the expenditure of the money hold
ing that the State has already COM
piled strictly with every provision OF
the agreement. and that there is no
obligation of any sort whereby tin
State can be required or expected 20
make any expenditure in the matter.
Again il is being held that by MAX
ing the appropriation there might be
some question as TO whether the State
would not violate the agreement and
in that way become liable in case Of an
adverse decision in the matter in the
