type Of house would prove more ap-
propriate and desirable.
Without questioning for moment
the attractiveness of the low, rustic,
bungalow cottage with its sweeping
lines and open framing, for country
sites, 1t is certain that some radical
change must be made to adapt this in
a practical way to the ordinary, mar.

Common People," giving a tentative
platform of a proposed new political
party. The writer is a deep student of
political affairs, who has tried to follow
the trend of political movements in the

OF sleeping is wrong. and advocates a
complete reversal Of the existing or

mead on level with or lower than
your feet If pillows are to be used
they must be under the feet instead of
the head. The result, he claims. will
be amazing. being a sure cure for in

pillows should be gradually reduced
and finally placed under the feet.

A SHAME.

The cutting of Confederate pen
sions by the State of Virginia was
one of those blind mishaps that can
have no justification, and for the
modification of which there can be
no palliation. When did Virginia
reach such stage of poverty that
the little pittance to the men, and
their widows, who gave themselves
and their all to the defense of the
State, must be cut? 1t is a skele-
ton in the closet of the Common
wealth, and to stir it at all makes a
rattle of dry bones that may be
heard all over the land.
Virginia is prosperous; its rev.
enues increasing by bounds and the
pitiful pensions of Confederate vet
Grams cut 10 per cent. A shamel-
Richmond Journal
Not only is it shame, but when one
considers why it was necessary to cut
the pensions of these old warriors-to
provide exorbitant salaries for cohorts
of the Democratic machine and that
some of the leaders may draw three
or four salaries from the States treas
ury-it is, let it be repeated, wore than
shame. 1t is burning disgrace.
In this connection, the Daughters of
the Confederacy spent much time at
their last meeting in discussing the us e
of a certain history in one of the col
leges of the State. We presume, to see
that the coming generation be correctly
informed of the events of the WAR Be
tween the States" is an important mat
ter, but the facts of history are incon
trovertable and time will correctly
weigh and adjust the conflicting state
ments in accordance with the facts.
In the meanwhile there are the old Con-
federate veterans and their widows
some of them ekeing out precarious
living on the beggarly stipend which
the State allows, and all of them effect
ed by a ten per cent cut in their pen
siops. Would it not be better then. far
better, for the Daughters, who are
pledged to look after the veterans and
their widows, to spend their time see
ins why, with the revenues of Virginia
increasing by leaps and bounds, if the
pensions are not increased, the State
does not, at least, pay in full the amount
pledged for this worthy purpose?
Forty-five thousand dollars means
much to the old veterans of Virginia at
the present time, and that sum repre-
sents the exact amount of money taken
from these old heroes by the political
ghouls who today infest the Capitol at
Richmond. 1t Is due the veterans of
Virginia that this Ubiquitous wrong be
righted, and we firmly believe that If
the Daughters of the Confederacy in
the State will only give the matter
prompt and vigorous attention it will be
done.

ARE THE STARS FADINo7

The opening OF the present theatri
cal season is accompanied by the
proclamation OF new principle. For
~ years or more the star has been
the idol Of the public and the god OF
managers. Mighty was the wage OF
this divinity. The star system seemed
permanent. But last season was one OF
the most trying that theater managers
have ever weathered. Scarcely one
has not curtailed his enterprises, says
the New York Sun. Theatrical invest
ment is on a much less extensive
scale than it was IL months ago. Tx
IRENE conservatism marks the bust
ness this fall Managers are search
Ing for suggestions as to the best
means OF putting their affairs on a
solid basis. One result of this inves-
ugation is the assertion that II would
probably be much better for the the
alters If there were fewer stars or
none at all. The reasons for this de-
cision seem sound, at all events sound.
er to reasonable laymen than the
causes of the sudden promotion OF
every blue-eyed ingenue to the rank
OF star. Managers have decided
that the theatrical celebrity they
make holds them afterward in tyran-
meal grasp. They must eventually
accede TO all the conditions these play
ers may impose. Thus by deliberately
creating a star they are raising up a
force that will eventually be inimicaI
to them.

Grindell Matthews, a young Eng
fish engineer, is believed by his friends
to be on the verge of giving to the
world a wireless telephone with which
conversations may be carried on
across the Atlantic. 1t may not be-
come public, as the British govern
ment may seek to acquire the sole
right to it, preserving the secret, and
retaining 1t for use in war. All that
Is known concerning the apparatus is
that 1t is in a box so small that one
may easily carry it about. Instru-
ments may be tuned so that they will
transmit only to others tuned in the
same key. A man might telephone to
his wife while she is out shopping.
Tests have been made in which the
interposition of brick and iron walls
was shown to be no barrier. Nothing
seems too wonderful in the way OF in
vention-especially where electricity
Is concerned; so nobody will be great
ly surprised if Matthews invention
fulflls its promise.
