The burying ground may have been a
public or private cemetery, such as the
early colonies claimed prior to the .evo-
Iutionary war.

ideal brick yard. The men were work
ing on the ground only few days when
they found human bones. District Off

PLUMBERS WILL HOLD
The COUNTY run DELAY

Notice that ]. j. Hanighen & Co.,
plumbing and heating contractors on tho
new county building, will hold the county
responsible for damages suffered by rea.
son OF the county building dynamite ex-
blossoms and by reason of the general
delay OF construction work was served
on the Board OF County Commissioners
in letter from Hanighen & Co.
In the letter Mr.. Hanlghen declares
that delay on construction OF the build
ing caused the holding up OF the plumbing
and heating work, and he was forced to
rearrange his entire business on this &C
count. He estimates his damages from
the dynamite explosions at $500 and says
the county is responsible, for the damage
was done to work completed by him ana
approved by the architect.
Mr.. Hanighen asks a settlement Of his
claims. The board will take up the mat
ter at it's committee meeting next Friday
Protest against the manner of complet-
ing wood finishing in the new building
was filed with the board by the Tri-city
district council of the United Brotherhood
of Carpenters and Joiners OF America.
This matter also will be taken up Fri
day. The letter says some of the work
is Of very poor character, but ventures
the opinion this Is because OF orders
given by those in charge rather than be-
cause Of incompetence OF the carpenters
who are doing the work.

borne In mind, that closets are a neces-
sity and that it is very annoying to not
have them of sufficient size. location ana
number to accommodate the family's needs.
Each closet should be provided with two
shelves set high, and two hook strips
When a closet is very large, a tier of
shallow drawers, four feet long, in which
to lay garments full length, and not
many garments to each drawer, is
splendid thing.
A unique idea to double the capacity
Of closet is to place a row of hooks
all around near the ceiling and then
fasten smooth sticks, resembling broom
sticks, to wooden hangers, SO that many
garments can be hung high out of the

permanently fastened to each hanger.

might be treated under the head OF ''rhe
Little Things"
For example: The swinging OF a door
might seem a trivial matter to the aver
age BODYBUILDING, still how often a door
hinged on the wrong side proves an an
noyance. Doors should always swing into
room, In such a manner as 10 permit
seeing the most OF the room. when the
door IL standing straight in. For example:
II door IL close to a side wall, when Il
Is hinged TO the side nearest the wall. in
opening II, one walks into the main part
OF the room. II the knob is on the side
nearest the wall. one sees but little of the
room whom opening Il, and must 20

to get into the main part OF the room.
Also. the location OF wall furniture,
such as pianos, davenports. beds, bureaus,
etc, should be taken into consideration.
when planning the swing OF the doors.
For this reason. each room should be
furnished in an imaginary way on the
floor plans. before the location and
swing OF doors. and the location OF wall
lights IL determined. and the carpenters
should then be carefully watched to see
that they follow the drawings.
For example; In a home recently built,
one OF the bedroom doors contained a
large mirror This door was shown so
hinged. upon the floor plans as TO make
II impossible for Il to conflict with
another door nearby. The carpenter when
putting on the hinges thought that he
might improve on matters by Ringing the
door on the opposite side, with the re-
suit that almost the first time the door
was opened the plato mirror struck the
knob OF the other door and was shattered.
The proper location for ali kitchen
fixtures and furniture is an important
matter, for nothing is more annoying

than a poorly planned kitchen. At present,
however, we win merely consider the
location OF the sink. A good light in the
sink is very necessary and for this
reason Il should be near window, and
the light fixture should also be where II
shines directly into the sink. That II

Hungarian Thief's Audacity Barred

VIENNA. March Il, 1911.
Temesvar, in Hungary, has been thu
scene or particularly daring series of
depredations by an unknown indfvidua /.
who discovered that it is simpler and
safer to appropriate property in the light
OF day with a show OF authority than to
break into houses at night like an ordi-
nary burglar.
Giving himself out as a contractor, he
first engaged thirty worknen with carts
and horses, and ordered them to demolisl
part Of a distiflery which had recently
been closed. This was done. and the sol
disant contractor sold the materials. in
GLIDING sixty carloads OF bricks, and
decanped before the proprietors heard
OF what had been done. Indeed. they first
learned Of il from the workmen, who
had been told to apply to them for their
pay. In another part of the town the
same audAcious rascal had a row of
trees cut down in the street and sold
them to . wood merchant.
Finally he brought q number of men
to remove the machinery from a mill in
the nedghborhood, which was standing
idle. The manager happened to be on the
spot, but the swindler declared that he
had just bought the machinery from the
owner, and offered to go home to fetch
the agreement for the sale He disap-
peared. and no trace of him has vet been
found.
