There is wonderful difference In
this world between the house that Is
simply q place to live In, with four
walls and roof, and the house which
Is a real home. The difference Is not
SO much in the house itself as In the
combined effect or union OF the house
with its surroundings. There are GER
tain styles of architecture that seem
to blend naturally with shrubs, vines
and flowers. With such house any
work done along the lines OF amateur
landscape gardening seems worth
while, fer every nook and cor
ner OF the yard. every Towering shrub
ard every tree throwing out its wide
branches seems to add to the cozy.
home-like appearance OF the place.
This is one of the surest tests we
have Of excellence In architectural
design. Some houses never seem to
be at ease. or in accord with the site
on which they are built Every ef.
fort to improve and beautify the
grounds serves only to bring out the
more strongly the plain awkwardness

FATHER FOG HOLDS
FORTH THESE DAYS
District Along Potomac Is SUBJ
ject to Heavy Mists During
Fall and Spring.

If YOU have to 20 out in the shed for
the lantern to find your way out of bed
these fine fall mornings, don't be sur
prised. It's Father Fog on rampage
The Weather Bureau will tell you that
the failure of daylight to be discernible
is merely the difference between the
|, two temperatures of air getting busy.
In the lower portions of the District,
particularly along the Potomac, they
do not wake up to the fact that daytime
is real active until about noon, the
warm air of the water meeting the
cooler air of the land. and the log
comes through a system of concensa-
ton. Men along the river tell weird
stories of their mates being missing for
several days at a time-prisoners OF the
fog, and not keen enough to penetrate
the misty skies to real daylight.
Foggy days are more frequent In the
fall of the year and in the spring than
in the summer. when the day and
night temperature differs but little. In
the winter, too, foggy days are often
noticed, but II necessitates great
change in the atmosphere to cause the
clouds of mist to predominate.
Sun and changes in the directions OF
the wind are ready eradicators Of fog.

SHORTAGE AT MINT
FOUND TO REACH 81
Several Bags of Silver in San
Francisco Vaults Contain
ed Washers.

Robbery of the United states MINI
at san Francisco was admitted py
Treasury officials today. The govern
ments loss to date. is but s. This was
taken from four sacks, each supposed to
contain 1000 silver dollars. This, how
ever, is not believed to be the true
extent of the robbery, as the count
o. coin in the San Francisco mint was
suspended when this loss was discov-
cred, pending instructions from Wash

The seals on the sacks of silver dol
lars that were short had not been
broken. This leads Director of the
Mint Roberts to the conclusion that the
theft was perpetrated by a sleight-of-
hand artist, among the gang OF work
men that stacked the coin. This man
whoever he may be. had apparently
palmed silver dollars and slipped
large iron washer in the bag in place Of
each dollar.
The highest taken from any, one sack

have been detailed to the case. No
other assistance will be asked.
The robbery was discovered when an

was noticed in the four short" sacks
Assayer Dewey directed that these be
opened and counted piece by piece.
Tho first sack, supposed to contain
$1,000, had but s9s silver dollars ana

sacks were then opened. In all, there
was a shortage of 81 and counting OPP
