ALL AGAINST THE BILLBOARD
Agitation for Its Elimination Has Now
Become Almost National
In lts Scope.

The campaign against billboards is
30 well-nigh universal that It may be
said to be national In its scope In
several states this nuisance is rapidly
coming under conditions that promise
either total elimination or a consider
able degree of control. Locally the
question is a live one, and with an
educatlve campaign ever before us we
may hope to see the day when bill
boards will be legislated out Of ex-
istence In California. In doing this 1t
would be just to grant those in the
business six months or year in which
to retire their blots upon our fairest
landscapes. Such action is always
taken In response to general public
demand, and when so many Of our
people have expressed themselves
against this nuisance shrewd advertis-
ers will conclude that local advertis-
ing on billboards does not pay. Keep
up the agitation; It pays.-Los Ange-

EASY TO DECEIVE THE WORLD
People as a General Rule Are Very
Apt to Accept Man at His
Own Valuation.

Only the very great can afford to
neglect cultivating pose. Many
even of these cultivate one. They
are probably wise, for, despite the
constant depreciation Of the poseur, 1t
remains the fact that a pose, well
maintained, is a considerable factor In
insuring worldly success. Who Of US
is thoroughly natural? Some, perhaps,
but few-very few. An affectation.
not too patent, a pose, a pretense OF
greatness, next to greatness itself.
makes the best impression upon the
general run of people. 1t takes lit
tie greatness itself to distinguish true
greatness. That is why the really
great are frequently not recognized
until after their death. But when
man. by his manner. insists that he is
great, the world generally takes him
at his own estimate, and accords him
the honors Of greatness.
The man who poses as righteous
obtains reputation for Righteousness.
Whether he really deserves It usually
does not matter. The man who poses
as profound obtains a reputation for
profundity. He may be as nhallow as
a rivulet, but the pose is apt to create
the impression he seeks to convey. We
all know the man who utters com.
mon.places with the rotundity OF
the great orator, with the air OF an
oracle. arrogating to himself the hon.
ors OF original discovery. We all
know the impressive appearance and
rotund defamation which often give
public men. lawyers, lecturers and
other forensic speakers vast reputa-
tons which the product Of their brains
utterly fails to justify.

VILLAGES LACKING IN CHARM
Writer Compares Them With Those
Of France and Germany to Their
Disadvantage.

The average American has no eye
for harmonious effect, no appreciation
Of beauty for its own sake; and in
hone of the arts is this lack SO evident
as In architecture, says H. l.. Mencken
IN the Smart Set.
No distinctively American style has
arisen, and the average American
home remains as ugly and as undiH
tinguished as Zulu kraal. In its
essence 1t is simply a square box.
And from that archetype 1t proceeds
upward, not through degrees Of beau
T., but through degrees Of hideousness.
The more 1t is plastered with orna-
ment, the more vulgar and forbidding
It becomes. The more 1t Is adorned
with color, the more that color be-
comes sadness, a debauch, public
indenecy. Take a train ride through
any American state and you will be
sickened by the chaotic ugliness Of
the fitting villages-houses sprawling
and shapeless, green shutters upon
yellow churches, huge advertising
sign upon every fiat wall, an intoler-
able effect of carelessness, ignorance,
squalor. bad taste and downright vici-
BUSINESS. But make the same sort Of
Journey through France or Germany
say from Bremen to Munich or from
Paris to Lyons-or through Austria
or Italy or Switzerland, and you will
be charmed by the beautiful harmony
visible on all sides, the subordination
Of details to general effects. the In
stlnctive feeling for color, the sound
grouping, the constant presence OF
tradition and a style. The design OF
the peasant houses changes 20 times
between the Westphalian plain and
the foothills Of the Alps. but in every
change there is a subtle reflection OF
the physical expression of human as
piration, worldly estate and character.

Bremen and Munich, nor even vii
lage without Its distinction, its special
beauty, its individual charm. But l
don't know of village between Wash
ington and Chicago that ID not frank

SHOULD MAKE GOOD EATING

Vegetable.

Spinach Is with US nearly all the

when simply cleaned and boiled. The
spinach flavor in the liquid Is good
and decidedly valuable. If we must
squeeze the liquor all out and work

French method, should produce a

while wet into hot covered saucepan
on the stove and let 1t steam; when
half done, put 1t twice through the
meat-chopper, season with salt, pep
per, lemon juice and little cream and

small molds and stand on Ice over
night; the next day turn out of the
molds on lettuce and put round yolk

tie mold. garnish with the chopped
white of the eggs. Pass either French

Travellers in the smaller towns and

edited by the contrast in them be-

tellectual poverty. There is more than
enough money. Yet the town has man
aged to build itself in exactly the ug-
Hest way. Perhaps it would have cost
less to make the street prettier. But
nobody cared: that was evident A

quarters, and are taking this means
Of providing themselves with good,
sensible homes at a reasonable out
lay.
The original bungalow roof was low
and broad; but, in order to get more
sleeping accommodation. the ridge
was raised just enough at first to get
one room above the ground floor.
Builders, however, have repeatedly
pushed it up higher, until now we see
good many houses built very much
after this plan, with as many as
three bedrooms in the roof.
1t costs but little more to build
seven or eight-roomed house in this
way than to build a five-roomed house
with the rooms all on one level. The
rafters, of course, are longer, and it
takes more shingles; but the work on
the roof is not much different. and
SO far as the inside is concerned, you
simply add the finishing up Of the ex-
ira rooms. The foundation Is no
larger; and the only addition on the
this case. is built in and closed with
a door at the bottom. You seldom,
in fact, see an open stairway In a
bungalow house. 1t seems to be out
of keeping with the general layout.
There is a modification of ideas In
regard to house stairways, even In
larger houses. The question has often
arisen: Why should we build a fancy,
open stair directly opposite the main
entrance door, as though every per-
son entering must receive an invita-
ton to go up aloft? AS a matter OF
fact, not one stranger In dozen en-
tering the front door goes upstairs,
and 1t makes considerable difference
to the members Of the family where
the stairway is placed. Very often

The structure is somewhat on the

The bungalow developed In this

idea, probably, was originally brought
from India, although a great many
architects claim that the modern
bungalow is really the outgrowth of
the log cabins and the sod and adobe
houses Of the early inhabitants of the
United States. Probably bungalow
architectural ideas could be traced
back to all these sources. The result
is that we have very comfortable,
