toys. President Lincoln often visited the
store with his sons. liz was the closest
toy shop 10 the White House and accord
ingly was more frequently visited by the
Presidents sons than any other store of
the kind. Few changes have been made
Ia the store since the days of Lincoln.

same appearance ii did then.

and a depth of SOB 1t contains I 225
square feet of ground. The price paid

ture or permit Ii to stand in its present
state.

PANASINE TO CARRY
UNCALLED-FOR WEIGHT
London Comment on Unusual
Handicapping of Harry P. Whit

oreign Correspondence of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence of The Star
LONDON, October so, 1915.
If Jack Joyner We're not possessed OF
an even temperament and plenty of pa
tience, he certainly would say some dire
things about the official handicapping of
the horses he trains at Newmarket for
Harry Payne Whitney. He must have
felt in hard luck again when the official
Handicapped recently gave 100 pounds to
Whitneys three-year-old Peter Pan tilly,
Panasine, for the Bradford handicap to be
run at Leicester this week. If Panasine
We're such n race mare as Hamburg
Belle, winner of the Futurity ten years
ago. and of other great events. or If
Panasine could boast such turf career
as the black mare Imp, winner of the
Suburban in 1899 and of other great
races. one would not cavil at $50 pounds.
But Panasine is no wonder. although she
ran a remarkably good race under this
heavy impost
Il might as we'll run her. for she is
very good right now and never can be
BETTER said Trainer Joyner. So Pana-
sine was sent to Leicester in spite of hay-
ing to concede tong of weight to older
horses.

STUCCO CONSTRUCTION
NOT A FAKE OR SHAM
Fills Demand for Something Arts
tic, Fire-Resisting and
Inexpensive.

The perfection of building materials de-
signed to resist fire has been such that
now a residence can be built at least fire.
retarding at little or no increase of cost,
according to writer in keith's Magazine.
The solid brick or stone wall in residences
is a known quantity, the poured con-
crete house" is not, as yet, so we'll estap-
Iished, but with non-burnable roofs
houses built any of these ways would af-
ford the suggested needed protection.
Considerations of cost. however, enter
often; also architectural and estheuc rea-
sons prevail to the extent of prompting a
desire for something different. The
sturcco house has been evolved from these
conditions, and there is good reason Tor
its popularity. There is nothing in build
ing construction that SO pleaslnsiy mar
monies with natures color tones as the
soft gray of the stucco house. 1t looks
permanent too. like stone and brick.
without the severity in its lines or eX-
cessive cost of construction.
The cry of flake" and shan is peri
odically raised by the starving purtst ana
the millionaire iconoclast at this form oil
construction As a matter of TACT stuc-
co applied to a wood skeleton is neither
false form of building nor an imita-
ton. but merely a humble device invent

coating of mud" Stucco in the past was
invariably employed to cover some for
eign surface unsghtly III appearance. and
as such performs legitimate office.
Stucco is sometimes applied to brick.
also to wood lath and tile. and another
popular combination is cement plaster on
metal lath. With this latter type applied
over wood Sheathing, the ordinary con-
struction will cost about 3 per cent more
than the ordinary clapboard wall used
in a frame house, while a stucco wall
built by fastening metal lath direct to
the studding and -plastering will cost
less than the frame construction and is
superior to it for its insulating proper
ties. rigidity. fre-resisting and enduring
qualities.

Engineering Executives.
the Engineering Record.

From the Engineering Record.
Plenty of industrial corporations have
long since learned the wisdom of deyel-
oping the engineering executive with the
ability to deal in a large way with mat
tiers of technical Importance. They have
gone about this work IN liberal fashion
by removing many OF the burdens of
detail from the shoulders of the chief
OF the engineering department; by au-
thoriZing the selection and training by him
OF understudies of promise; by minim;z-
ing Interruptions of his most responsible
work for the sake of minor results, and
by sharing with him the proceedings of
the conference room but, most of ALL
they have given him a real share in the
conduct of corporate affairs and have
developed his ofttimes latent executive
powers.

OUR ENvIoUs NEiGHBoR.

The Press apparently threw a. ~
over recent article in this paper
which questioned the undertaking
tendencies Of certain newspapers. It
seems to have penetrated it's hide
and injured it's sensitive feelings.
Every newspaper is at liberty to fol;
low whatever course it chooses IN
handling its reading matter. There
are some readers who prefer glarlng
headlines, the sensational, the sug-
gestive and who love to see exagger-
ated accounts Of commonplace hap,

find no place in the columns OF this
