Lyle Knox was held up by the
storm in Springfield for over a

We're held in Springfield for
two days, which gave Mr.. Ratliff
time to join the Herald family for
the coming year.

A great big girl arrived at the
home of MIR. and Mrs. j. P.
Mills Monday night. They
hadn't weighed it up to this
writing, but Mrs. Clauson is
reported to have said that it
would have weighed at least
eleven pounds. Anyway, it
was a big fat baby. Mother and
child are doing well.
( just as we were beginning to
wonder about our friend Fl. d.

he will remain there until

the war. II. d., we are not ac-

! Judge Jackson hunted for his
COW all day Monday. and then on
Tuesday killed the pig to
keep it from getting away. La
fayette Burton also hunted
all day Monday for his
COW, and on Tuesday killed to
pigs. The moral to this is that
the pigs ought to have hi1ed out
and left the COWS behind.

SIGN POSTS OF CONCRETE.
New Type of Poles Adopted by Okla
homa City.

In Oklahoma City most of the posts
used for supporting street signs. wires
and mast arms for arc lights are being
constructed of reinforced concrete. These
rosts appear to be durable and present a
neat appearance. The posts used for
signs are reinforced with four quarter
inch hars extending the full length of
the most. A square three-quarter-inch
rod about three feet long is cast in the
wi. of the post at the top, extending
about eighteen inches above the top OF
the post. and to this rod are fastened the
boards or plates containing the street
names.
While many Of these sign posts are be-

possible to take out the dishes and to re-
place them without accident. The dishes
collide with one another, chipping the
edges, knocking off the handles and, often
enough, cracking or breaking expensive
china.
With a little ingenuity a spring switch
can be so arranged that the opening OF
the door will automatically light small
electric lamp within the closet. The clos
ing of the door turns OF the light. Inc
spring switch is concealed between the
edge of the door and the jamb or Is fss-
tened to the door hinge.

.FIREP[ACES USED IN
NEARLY ALL HOUSES
Feature of Interior Decoration
in New Homes in
Capital.

No feature of the house can be made
more expressive of individuality and
character than the fireplace, and nearly
all new homes which are being built in
Washington nowadays are equipped with
one or more open f1replaces. But it is to
be regretted that SO many are found
which are both commonplace and unsat-
isfying.
There really is no reason for architec-
tural SHINING OF this kind. There are
even very cheap stock mantels in excel
lent taste and common brick can hardly
be improved on for fireplace.
1t is all true, of course, that many
stock mantels are misunderstanding
and ugly in design and finish. They would
not be offered for SALE though, it there
were not people to buy them. and there
is commendable tendency on the part
of manufacturers to improve their de-
signs along the lines Of simplicity and
good taste.
Nobody, though, who builds house
needs to have fireplace which is not a
credit TO the man who designed it or
selected it from the catalogue or adapted
| Ii from one he had seen elsewhere. There
are plenty of good designs and materials
| in abundance.

All of these troubles may be over
