or street floor. On this floor is living room,
14x17; den or sewing room, 11x11; and a bath
room 6x11. In the living room is quaint little
cement fireplace and mantel designed by Mr..
Hoag. The chambers are reached by stair
way leading from the living room. There are
two sleeping rooms, 11x17, with a closet in
each.
The outside doors are fitted with glass
light at the top and metal panels at the bottom,
which are so arranged that they can be taken
out in summer and panels of wire screen put
in, thus doing away with hanging and remov-
al of screen storm doors in the spring and fall
When asked whether such house would cost
more than one built entirely of lumber, Mr..
Hoag stated that he had figured that there
would be but little difference if one used the
nrst quallty OF shlhgies, clappoards ana lumber.
He said, however, that he would not advise
putting so much cement into house unless one
had solid ledge foundation, as the cost of
building foundation suitable would be great.
The foundation must be absolutely firm and
without danger of heaving by the frost in or
der for the cement Structure to be successful.
He is also of the opinion that house of this
kind cannot fail to be perfectly warm, as there
is no possible way for wind to penetrate the
walls, and that it will also be cool in summer.

business circles abroad by the Ameri-
can governments prosecution of Ger
tain trusts Mr.. Guggenheim is labor
ing under the effects of an error of
judgment. What he has mistaken for
a bad impression produced by prose-
cution is in reality a bad impression
produced by the trusts.
Without doubt lawlessness. con-
sciencelessness, and contempt of public
opinion and Of Americanism, have pro-
duced a certain effect, which, however.
will be overcome should the prosecu-
tion Of trusts be conducted vigorously
and successfully, and should American
business interests be freed from the
interference of the plotters and schem-
ers called trust magnates."
The government is bound to enforce
the law against aw-breakers; but it
is not supposed to be occupied with the
duty" of making a market for Ameri-
can trust securities among foreign in
vestors. If the law should not be en-
forced and if the people of the United
states should not be protected from
gouging law-breakers. there can be no

CHRISTIANITY AND

IAPAN has given Christendom a re-
Il buka amounting TO a snub. Per-

good results. Current Literature says:
Japan was on the eve Of adopting
Christianity but the whole scheme fell
through. Japan rebelled Young Jap
anese students, schooled in the univer-
stiles of America, England. Germany
and France, brought home to their
people the inspiration of western civil
lization without its religious faith.
"They discoursed learnedly of Her
bert Spencer and Darwin, Of Kant and
Schopenhauer but very few were con-
verted to Christianity. They said the
Christians could not agree among
themselves and were divided into 167
different sects."

wise men themselves are subject to

Los Angeles will receive from the
United States government nearly ST.

the outer harbor, with a view ultimate
ly to deepening it to 80 feet deepening
the channel up to the turning basin
to 80 feet, dredging channels in the east
and west inner basins to a depth of
