is 40 buyer because the house is like
thousands of others"
The reason why a house will not
sell, in nine cases out OF ten, is be.
cause it has no individuality. The
bungalow has individuality; it has
something that makes passers-by turn
after they have passed the house and
say How cosy!"
A glance at the loor-plan and per-
spective shown herewith will show de-
sirable and attractive features of this
plan. From the broad entrance porch,
one enters a good-sized hall, connect
ing, by means of wide cased opening
with attractive column grille work,
into a large living room, II by 10 feet,
bright and cheerful, having broad win
dow spaces, a built-in seat, and a
practical fireplace. A cased opening
connects the living room and dining
room, making practically n room,
and giving exceptional sp~aciousness
in a cottage of this size. The ar
rangement between the kitchen and
dining room is very good for conven-
lent housekeeping and few steps.
There is also direct connection be-
tween kitchen and front hall-a very
good feature. Too many houses are
so arranged hat the living room has
to be chased through every time one
has occasion to answer the front door
bell, which not only disturbs those
sitting there, but also dirties this
room unnecessarily and makes too
many steps.
The bedroom is of good size, opens
off the front hall, and is supplied with
a large-sized clothes closet ventilated
and lighted by mean of a good-sized
window. There is also a lighted
clothes closet for hanging coats and
hats, just beside the front door. The

The word bungalow is an Anglo
Indian term, meaning in India a
species of rural villa, a house of light
construction, usually of unbaked brick
with a matched roof. The bungalows
which are the residences OF Euro
peans in India are of all styles and
sizes, according to the taste and
wealth Of the owner. In its earlier
use by white men, the word "bunga-
low" was taken to denote a lightly
constructed ~habitation, not exceeding
one story in height, and presumably
designed for temporary occupation.
But during the past few years bunga-
lows have been built in both the Uni
ted States and Canada as ali-year
residences, and are constructed with
every regard for permanency.
They are built with heavier stud
ding and bracing than the bungalows
in California, and are sheathed solid
outside and covered with heavy build
ing paper and siding shingles. Many
of them are provided with open fire.

Possible Cancer Cure.

Great popular interest has been de-
monstrated in Germany in the use
of m~esothorium as a cancer cure.
Rich persons are solicited to give
money with which to secure this ma
terial for charitable institutions, and
in other places various means are re-
sorted to for the securing of funds.
This material is secured from the
thorium waste Of the gas mantle in
dustry, and, while it seems to have
been very beneficially used In thera-
peutics, the physicians say that it is
too early to put entire faith in the
remedy. For the therapeutic use a
tiny particle is inclosed in a silver
covering pierced with minute holes;
the box is placed upon the part af-
fected with cancerous growth, and is
said to slowly. but surely. eradicate

THE MANN LAW IN CALIFORNIA

A new law, especially if it's motive
be moral, is likely to exceed the pur-
pose contemplated by its authors.
The Sherman law, for example, ha.
been put in operation against many
restraints of trade never dreamed of
by its authors. The Mann law has
been put in force in California
against offenses not foreseen as fed
eral crimes by the congress that pass
ed it, says the Minneapolis Journal.
That is probably the explanation OF
the nearly successful attempt to post
pone the trials of Digs and Caminet-
ii through the Intervention of the de-
partnent Of justice. Their friends
hoped to evade the penalization of
transportation of women in interstate
commerce for purposes immoral, but
not commercial. But the court rul-
ings and the final conviction of Digs
wipe out the distinction.
The precedent will probably con-
troll in future practice. After all, the
distinction is shadowy between the
various steps to the ultimate end OF
commercial bondage. This trial sim
ply brings under federal jurisdiction
in interstate commerce an immoral
act always penalized by state law,
whatever it's immediate result.

REAL ESTATE ASSESSM EMIT.

In other columns Of this mornings
paper is published a statement show
ing the changes made by the state
board of equalization, now in session,
on the several classes of property
assessed and returned as real estate.
For comparison, the average value
Of land per acre is given in dollars
as left by the county boards of 1912
and 1913, and the same information
aS left by the state board. In the
classes covering Structures on Farm
Lands, City Lots, and Structures on
City Lots, the action of the board is
shown in percentage. An increase in
the county return is indicated by the
x sign, while a decrease in the coun-
ty return is indicated by the minus
l--) sign. 20 show the final figures
on the last. three items would require
so much space and time they are
not published.
The endeavor of the board has been
to leave the assessment at as nearly
the final figures of 1912 as possible.
In looking over-the averages for lands
it would seem this has been accom-
plished.
The only change made in Burleigh
county returns is a reduction of 10
per cent in the assessment of city
lots. Burleigh county returned city
lots at an increase Of more than $780,
900 owe 1912. This is a greater in
crease than is shown by any other
county in the state; and even with
the decrease returned on this item,
the increase in the assessed valua-
ton of city lots in Burleigh county is
a very substantial one Burleigh coun.
ty returns a very nice increase in
structures On city lots and this has
been allowed to stand. ~ ",t-1
The cut In assessment of lots in
Burletgh county is a just one, and
leads us to believe the state board
Is trying to do the right thing.
The study of this statement proves
interesting III that one may make
comparisons on the returns of the
county boards of 1912 and 1913 and
the state board for 1912. The state
1nent is so clear that it precludes any
argument as to what was done and
shows all detail for itself.

New York Aug. 23.-The years of
determined effort on the part OF the
health authorities, several charitable
organizations and a number of local
philanrllropists, to improve the n.y.
gienic conditions surrounding infant
life in this city ar beginning to bear
fruit. During the last few years the
mortality anl0res infants in Greater
New York has shown a fairly steady
decline, even during the most unfa-
vorable weather conditions Of the
summer, and the Improvement seems
to continue. According to the report
just published by the health depart.
ment New York was the only large
city in the country to'show a decrease
in the average death rate for infants
in the first six months Of 1918.
For many years, longer, III fact,
than any resident Of the city can
remember, certain Of the poorer sec

and made unsafe by the presence OF
organized gangs of men, unscrupu.

the hands of Tammany these gangs
were valuable tools and weapons
against their political opponents and,
in consideration for their services at
primaries and elections the members
of these gangs enjoyed practical i'm
munity from police interference and
other privileges.
The brutal killing Of ROsenthal by
members of n Of the lower East
Side gangs and a number Of other
murders committed since then,
brought matters to a climax and the
decent and law abiding citizens made
"a powerful demand for the suppress
sion and exterinlmation Of these
gangs. Notwithstanding the disgrace.
full exposures of police corruption
which resulted from the Rosenthal
murder Investigation, the police were
either poWerlesD or unwilling to
make determined wara against the
gangsters and the citizens finally
reached the conclusion that, if they
wished. the gangs driven out, they
would have to do the driving out
themselves. The other day the citi:
zens 0 fthe lower East: Side. held a
mass meeting in, which the situation
was thoroughly discussed and the
decision reached to make 9 deter
mined effort to rid the East Side of
the numerous gangs which infest It.
The citizens decided to make a Joint
effort with q view OF making things
unpleasant for the gangsters and
reached the unanimous decision not
to depend upon the assistance Of the
police authorities in their efforts.
The keeper Of the city mOrgue was
greatly puzzled the other day when

something which sounded. to the
keeper like an inquiry concerning
some dead person. The keeper maids
