This is a ten room house. Some
times when there are number of chill
dren In q growing family a house of
ten rooms becomes necessity
Ideas in regard to the size of houses
have changed very much in the last
ten years. People are not now build
ing larger than they need, not SO much
because the expense of building has
somewhat increased, but the principal
reason is that help cannot be secured
to do the necessary Homework A
great many women have killed them
selves trying to keep a large house
looking nice enough to satisfy their
women friends, but women are learn
ing wisdom and are becoming content

Sometimes families need house with
four or Ave bedrooms, then plan
like this seems to At In Just right.
Looking at the perspective 1t win
be noticed that this house tones up
with the best Of them. 1t Is the kind
Of building that satisfies a persons
pride and every one should have
pride enough to appreciate a good
home and feel satisfied with It
The mere fact OF having q large
house won't satisfy anybody. There
must be more to a home than the
building, but family OF from six to
ten persons should be able to estab-
fish a very satisfactory home In q
house like this.
The building is thirty feet In width
by thirty-seyen feet six inches In
length and the porch Is extra, a size
sufficient to lay out nicely into large
pleasant rooms, with convenient hall
ways, stairways, etc. It is impossible
to get nine or ten good and sufficient
rooms In house much smaller. II

The side porch opening from the
kitchen is another pleasant feature. A
good deal OF kitchen work may be
done on porch of this kind in the
summer time. especially If it is shad-
ed with a good climbing vine such
as the Virginia creeper, some of the
night shades, or a Dutchman's pipe

A new idea in school sanitation has

Board Of Education.

The school board has worked hard
and has probably accomplished more
for the means at Its disposal than has
any similar body In this city that has
had the handling OF the public funds.
This Is a strong statement, and, while
made without intention of rejecting
upon any other dispensing body, is
made after very close observation OF
the work done by 1t and the results
obtained with the means provided
This board has spent $4,000 in build,
ings and in purchasing lands and Of
this amount $4,000 was secured BY
saving it out Of the ordinary levy. But,
the time has come, apparently, when
the demands are greater than the or.
binary levy will be adequate to meet.
To provide for such high school
building as will be needed will require
a bond issue. To meet extraordinary
situation. ordinary means will not
longer suffice. The extra demand for
assistance has been by all manner OF
shifts postponed to the last moment
but the stage in the situation appears
to have been reached now when it is
no longer possible to push the propo
sition farther off, but the time has
come when it has to be squarely met
and considered and provided for.

should have had better sense.
1t was while in this mood that the
screen door banged loudly behind the
heels of Tudor, who strobe into the
room and paused before him.

And on the instant speech rushed
to Sheldon's lips.

disgust.

rupted.

For the first time Sheldon's rising
anger boiled over.

abruptly caught control of himself and
went on seothingly. "I'il call the
boats crew and launch a boat. You'll
be in Tulagi by this evening"
He turned toward the door as IL to
put his words into execution. but the
other caught him by the shoulder and
twirled him around.

And what quarrel can you have with
me? l have never interfered with you.
You were my guest. Miss Lakeland is

love to her and somehow failed to sue

with me? This is the twentieth CEN
fury, my dear fellow. and dueling went
out of fashion before you and were
born"
"You began the row." Tudor logged
ly asserted. "You fred me out Of your
house. 1t won't do, l tell you. You
started 1t, and am going to see it
through"
Sheldon smiled tolerantly and pro-
ceeded to light cigarette.
There isn't any row. It takes two
to make a row, and I, for one, refuse
to have anything to do with such TOM
foolery."
'She's not your wife," Tudor con-
tinued, as though the other had not
spoken. "a fellow has the right to

in the MINDLESS grass and fighting

up and down the avenue.
Then Tudor came. Sheldon hap
pened to be looking in his direction
at the moment he came into view,
peering quickly up and down the ave
nue. before he stepped into the open.
Midway he stopped. as If debating
what course to pursue. he made a
splendid mark, facing his concealed
enemy at 200 yards distance. Shell

then deliberately shifted the aim
TO his right shoulder. and, with the
thought, That will put him out of

to perforate a mans body a mile dis

as to pivot him, whirling him half
around by the shock of its impact and
knocking him down.

his feet and running forward
A hundred feet away all anxiety on
that score was relieved by Tudor, who
made shift with his left hand and
from his automatic pistol hurled a rain
