Mr.. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building, for the readers of this
paper. On account of his wide experience
as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he
is, without doubt, the highest authority
on all these subjects. Address all inquiries

Most people like large rooms; but
large rooms call for a largo house.
This plan is 81 feet inches by sc
feet In size and is built on the square
order, severely plain in design and gen
eral treatment Instead Of crowding
IN as many rooms as possible, they are
made larger than is customary at the
present time; but 1t gives to the
house an air of old-fashioned comfort
that Is quite luxurious.
Luxury means in many cases some
thing that is difficult to secure. Since
the advance In prices of labor, wages
OF skilled mechanics, prices of hard
ware and most building materials the
tendency has been to build smaller
houses and smaller rooms. Probably
the after maintenance has as much to
DO with the general trend towards
smaller houses as any other consider
alton, because it lis almost impossible
to obtain help of the right kind to keep
large house in order after you get
It. Then the extra cost Of heating a
large house Ia a serious objection to
some people; but the improvements In
hot-air furnaces and in hot-water and
steam heaters have gone q long way
TO reduce cost in this respect
The shape Of the house also has a
great deal to de- with the cost of heat
ing. A house built after this design
Is very compact. There are no side
rooms to carry the heat to at disad-
vantage; so with a modern heater in
the basement this house may be kept
comfortable for less money than the
heating of a much smaller house would
have cost ten or fifteen years ago.
These are the days of large living
rooms. People have found that at
least one room in the house should be
as large. as light, and as airy as it
Is possible to make it. Across the
front OF this house, Ia by 35 feet in
side measurement, is practically one
great room with fireplace in one end
and with plenty Of large windows that
are In keeping with the general char
acter Of the house.
This large living room is intended
to be one Of the main decorative fea-

NOT Welded TO THE TRUTH
Descendants Of the Original Ananlas
Evidently Still Flourish In Prov
inces OF China.

The honesty and frankness of the
Chinese has often been matter for
travellers tales; but, according to
Frank Wallace, author Of "The Big
Game of Central and Western China"
it is only the inhabitants of the coast
provinces who are distinguished for
veracity, says the New York Post
In the course of his excursion to the
Cobb desert to supply takin and 9TH
er rare mammals to the British muse
un, he suffered much inconvenience
and few misfortunes from the ina
bility of the natives to tell the unvar-
nished truth.
Two incidents he recounted have
the saving grace Of humor He came
once upon region, where pheasants
were plentiful, and If he had had dogs,
he might have enjoyed first-rate COW
ert shooting. When he questioned his
guides as to their numbers, a certain
celebrated Ananias set about recount

were plentiful

and there were three dead pheasants

1t was this same man who, one day
when the conversation turned on cele-
brated travellers, saw a chance too
good to be missed. Marco Polo Is
name had just been mentioned.
Marco Polo," said the man in q
casual manner, Ticking of the end Of
his cigar. "Oh, yes, my old father
was his guide. A nice man. He came
from Russia. How old was he? Well,
never saw him myself; it was be-
fore my time. About forty-fve,
should say. He had a grand horse
he brought with him all the way from
his own country. He gave it to my
father, but the poor beast died from
grief when the old man pegged out"

handsome dining-room decorations.
Another feature OF this house that
is well worth consideration is the pam
try It is seldom you get such a pam
try in any house. The extension of
the back porch to inclose one end of
the pantry has been taken advantage
OF to lay out an arrangement that will
appeal to most women 1t is large
enough to hold considerable china and
the sink so conveniently situated is a
great satisfaction at dish-washtng
time. l often wonder why sinks are
not demanded nearer to the shelves
where dishes are kept IF you watch
a woman doing up the work after meal
time you will notice that she is con-
stantly walking back and forth be-
tween the dining table, the sink and
the pantry shelves and the china cup
board. This combination pantry is a
sort Of cross between the modern store
room pantry and an old-fashioned but
ler's pantry.
There are other interesting features
about this house indicated by the
plans, such as the combination stair
way going up from the kitchen and
from the front room, the hall coat
closet and the convenient ceIlarway
with shelves for jelly glasses and other
storage, all Of which require a house
about this size If you expect to work
them all in. You can have some Of the
modern improvements In a small
house. If you want them all you must
build larger.

require q great deal Of studying and
planning to bring out all it's splendid
possibilities. Such rooms nowadays
are seldom or never carpeted. The
floor is hard wood with a finish that
shows the grain to advantage. The
floor is nice enough to leave without
any covering whatever; but no one
likes bare floor because of the noise
and from the further fact that no room
has properly furnished appearance
unless the floor has been carefully pro-
vided with rugs that harmonic with
the wall and ceiling decorations.
There IS good deal in proportioning
rugs to the size of the room. This
large living room should have two rugs
large enough to reduce the outside
margin to about ten inches The space
between the rugs in the center should
be about the same, but this space di-
rectly in the center of the archway
should be filled in with another rug
to avoid stepping on the polished floor.

THRIFT IN NEW SOUTH WALES
Remarkable Showing Made by Sgd
ney Bank Has Been the Cause
OF Much Comment.

Since 1907 the history of the Moore
Street bank (Sydney, New South
Wales), has been almost as marvellous
Tor its expansion as has the postal
savings system Of the United States
When 1t was placed under the manage
ment OF commissioners, six years ago,
the amount of the credit of the 1884,
401 depositors was $45,309, 401. Three
years later there were $685. 06 deposit
tors, who had total balance of $751;
B27,380, while on November 80, 1912,
there were 458,711 depositors with bal
Rnces of $95,057, 1858.
Immediately upon their appointment
The commissioners adopted policy Of
decentralization by the establishment
of district branches, giving all the IA
cilities offered by the head office.
There are now ia branches-51 in the
city and suburbs and So in the coun-
try.
There are also numerous agencies,
constantly increasing In numbers, I'M
der the control of state officials, while
the real branches are managed by the
commissioners staff officers.
The loan department also shows ex-
pansion. On December 81, 1906, there
was due big farmers and settlers ST.
952,461, Representing 4,0o5. In No
vember, 1912, the number of loans
was 4,057, and the outstanding prin-
cipal was $6,545,6S1.
During 13 years 1852 loans have
been made to settlers and farmers to
the amount of $9,471,581, besides
which, in 1911, mortgage loans upon
city and suburban property were made
to the extent OF $3,OO7,757.

Ladies', Purses From Eroa skIna.

Eighteen big mountain frogs have
been brought to this country from
the Philippines by DR.. F. NJ McAllis-
ter, ships surgeon on the Korea. He
will give them to the New York park
commission for propagation.
The mouse-colored skin, notified
with spots Of darker hue, may be
used for the manufacture of women
purses and chateiaine sacks, as are
the hides of crocodiles.
The frogs are delicate in spite of
their size, and five died On the voy-

The dead frogs were in much de-

This, however, does not excuse the
written law, which says a man may,
but a woman must not. Read this"
She showed the Remington &
BaIlinger Code, No. 2457." Read it
carefully. 1t says that ANY married
women" who is untrue to the mar
rage relation, and her partner, in
sin, shall be punished by imprison-
ment in the state penitentiary for not
more than two years, or by a fine of
not more than $1,000: ." Pro-
vided that no prosecution for the VIC
latiOn of this section shall be COM
menced except on complaint of the
husband or wife, nor after one year
from the commission Of the offense."
You will notice" said Miss White
head, 1T does not say any married
man or woman or any married per-
SON. 1t says any married woman
who is not true to the marriage rela-
ton shall be punished. But what of
the married man? Is there to be no
check on him? The law puts none.
Does society?
81 said a moment ago that you
cannot legislate people into being
good unless a majority of the people
want to be good. It would have been
futile, a few years ago, to amend the
law so as to hold men equally guilty
with women when they violated the
marriage relation. But public senti-
ment has changed. Now a married
man who is VIGOROUSLY immoral is

is frowned on, even by his own men

You see we are headed in the

man charged with burglary, in which
there was only one eyewitness, it
was for the jury to decide which it

But in the case of a girl charging
assault it was the duty of the court,
before the amendment, to instruct
the jury that, unless there was cor

must be found not guilty.
