/ Flats serve their useful purpose as a
temporary dwelling to people just startine
out in life who must, for financial rea-
sons. confine themselves to the most mod
est manner Of life possible, but it is folly
to waste the opportunities for the true en-
joyment Of living by spending a lifetime
as cliff dweller in one Of those human
kennels, a flat.
One of the advantages Of building I'm the
country from an architectural standpoint
is the fact that a country home is essen
TALLY all front Very often what we usu-
ally term the front of the house faces the
most desirable view, while the approach
by driveway is from the opposite side
making 1t necessary to make one side as
attractive as the other. This means a
home in which one takes more pride and
consequently gives more care to than is
given to the rear part of a house on
congested street with a city 'front.' that
is square, covered with useless ornament
and generally uninterestlng. There are few
homes in the city in which a guest is per,
mitted to inspect the back porch, and It is
just as well that they do not for the av-
erage back porch does little credit to the
owners taste. The "all 'front.' effect of a
country home is therefore but another ex,

Here the '1le" on a city 'front.' which
leads one to believe that the elegance is
but the index of what further examination
would reveal is impossible, for the country
home is seen too much in perspective to
make one side elegant and another plain
without exposing the sham. Some people
build the front door of mahogany, with
gold-plated hardware trimmings and use
a cheap grade of wood for the interior fin
ishing. This is not right and is plainly an
effort to deceive the general public into
believing the home more elegant than II is
in order to Guido the neighbors A front
entrance should be attractive as a mark
Of welcome to guests, but it should be ap,

There is anything but harmony in
the United States Senate as the divi
sion among the Republicans seems
daily to become more marked. 1t
will be remembered that the progress
sives protested against the manner
in which the Committees were made
up, and to emphasize their protest
war was declared upon Senator Gal
linger who had been selected for the
position of President pro tenn. At
the present time the House of Repre-

that the latter body has succeeded
in getting down to business, even
though several weeks have elapsed
since the re-convening of Congress.
The Republicans seem to be farther
apart than ever, amd IL ls plainly ap.
parent that no unity of action can be
secured among the membership Of
the party i'm the Senate. ALL the big
bills are slim practically untouched,
and no one can safely predict that a
single matter constituting the big leg
islation that is to come up later, will
command the unified Republican vote.

Before this measure went to the Sen

his position in a speech made In

would attempt to amend the measure.

WHALES

Under the old methods, the whale fishery, wherever pursued, was very wasteful, the bulk of the animal being thrown away. It is different now-at all events in Alaska, where an inten- sive system, as one might properly call it, has been adopted.
 This system depends primarily up on the establishment of permanent shore stations, from which centers of industrial activity the fishery is prose cuted.
 In any case, when whale is killed, instead of cutting it up in the open sea-often when weather conditions render the task exceedingly difficult, the animal is lowed to the nearest shore station and there disposed of to the best possible advantage.
 At Tyee, in Southeast Alaska, is shore whaling station that maintains plant for utilizing all parts of the whale. Nothing of the creature is wasted, what is not available for oil, food, or other purposes, being turned to account as fertilizer.
 There still seems to be plenty of whales in Alaskan waters, but they have become much more shy and diff cult to approach than formerly. The vessels engaged in the fishery are pur suing them, more than hitherto, in the open ocean, and they are capturing a greater number, relatively speaking, of the "sulphurbottoms. y It is a mat ter of interest if only for the reason that the sulphurbottom whale is pro- bably the largest animal that exists or ever did exist
 The gasoline schooner Lizzie S. Sor- renson, operating from the Tyee whal- ing station, met with a most unusual fate few months ago. While she was cruising near Cape Addington, a whale was sighted. She approached cautiously to within gunshot and drove a harpoon-lance into the animal The weapon failed to reach vital spot and the whale made off at terrific rate; but, finding it's progress checked, it suddenly turned and made directly for the vessel. Striking her terrific blow in the stern, it knocked out big piece of the bottom and she quickly sank.- Saturday Evanino Post
