Gambrel roofs in house construc-
ton are comparatively new The old
style was to make the top part of the
roof steep. If any change in pitch
was required, the lower part was built
In the form of lean-to. This manner
of construction gave very little head
room, and it was faulty in other re-
spects. Gambrel roofs were first used
in barns. The idea was to make all
the overhead NOV room possible, but
later architects discovered that very
good rooms could be laid out in such
ample space. It really makes the roof
answer two urposes-namely, for
siding as well as for roof. The gam
brel roof supersedes the old mansard
style-a manner of construction that
is now very seldom seen.
In designing houses of the smaller
sizes, the question of chimneys al
ways requires careful consideration.
1t is not safe to run stovepipe very
far to reach the chimney. When fires
occur because of long stove pipes, It
is always difficult to collect insurance
the superstition being that such pipes
are unsafe, and that the person using
them is to a certain extent RESPONSE.

not always insure. and this is case
In point.

The interior of this gambrel root
house is very pleasing. The entrance
from the front porch is into light

the best possible arrangements.
This plan gives us a large dining

White Serge for Winter.

For early winter wear white suits

As to complaints regarding ungrateful
and disobedient children, the fault lies it
seems to me, neither with the average par
ents nor with the callous, superficial young
persons. 1t is not an individual trouble of
individual families, in the MAN, but rather
a result of the present money mad, sensa-
ton chasing general public spirit, with its
cynical and heartless lack of morality.

it is weu to be prepared. During

The movement started by the Sug-
gestion of the mayor in his first re-
port to the new city council that the
city should improve conditions at the
city Jail, and which will likely result
in the present lookup building being
torn down and new one built on
the city property west of the railroad
track, is one which should have the
hearty support of al citizens. Acton
in this matter shCu d he pushed by
the city council. The present city
jail is in a disgraceful conditiCn and
if it is ever put into proper shape
will have to be remodeEed, requiring
an outlay Of money enough to have
the present building torn down and
new one erected in more ii ting
location. The ground across the rail-
road track is the proper place for the
lookup because the majority Of the
persons who find temporary accom-
modations within its swals come from
that section of the city. The build
ing is an unsightly thing at its pres
ent location and certainly should be
moved farther away from the public
library. 1t is to be hoped the city
council will hurry the movement te
have a new jail built on the city lots

BIG BALLOONS MISHAp.
At One Time Stern of Gas Bag Was
Fifty Feet Above the Bow.

Atlantic City, Nov. 6.-Melville
Vaniman and his airship were espe-
cial subjects of interest to the crowds
yesterday. Saturdays mishap, he
says, was due to gas escaping from
one of the compartments of the gas
bag known as a balloonette and max
ing its way into the hydrogen gas
compartment which caused an uneven
distribution of gas and air.
For a while the stern was fifty feet
higher than the bow. Sand bags were
hurriedly shifted and Vaniman acct
dentally dropped one on the water
cooling pipe attached to the radiator
from the main engine. This necessi.
tated the stopping of the engine and
quick landing had to be made. Vani-
man then steered for body of water
and when the balloon struck, the bow
was submerged in thirty feet of wa
ter while the stern, supported by the
gas, was fifty feet in the air. The
men on board were rescued by the
crew of dredge.
