THIRTY TONS OF CANDY
ORDERED FOR NAVY MEN
Reserve Fleet at Philadelphia to
Receive Several Carloads of
SWeetmeats.

Although Secretary of the Navy
Josephus Daniels doesn't propose to have
the Demon Rum fooling around his ships,
he has decided that the sailors of the
navy may consume by-products. And
that is how it happens that an order for
thirty tons Of candy has been registered
by him for the men stationed with the re-
serve fleet at Philadelphia
Think of it! Thirty tons of candy!
Enough to supply all the magazine-read-
ing, matinee going girls in Washington
for ten whole minutes. The thought is
stupendous. and it is only when one
cositates and assmiiates its magnitude
that the munificent benevolence of the
Secretary of the Navy becomes apparent.
Last year the sailors received twenty
five tons of candy. They finished it in
short and proper order, and cried for
more. But there was nothing doing, and
the sailors of the greatest navy in the
world We're compelled TO go candyless or
else sneak into the galley when nobody

Consolation.
From Lippincott's.

rrou Llpplncott s..
A depot agent in certain small town
in Minnesota had inherited an amazing
degree of that awful, consuming curiosity
on which womankind is generally sup
posed to have a monopoly.
Some time ago a box containing Bel
gian hare in transit for the west was
dropped off at this station. When the
agent saw the cloth across the box move,
he started an investigation.
No sooner had he loosened the cloth
sufficiently to enable him to peep into
the box, than Mr.. Belgian Hare, like a
flash of light, was gone from the box
and out of the depot. The agent gave
chase. At a lively rate of speed the two
went across the railroad tracks and to-
ward the lake. the hare several PAGES in
the lead. The agents position was en-
barassing, but it was up to him to re-
cover the hare. and he kept on running
At times he seemed to be gaining a little.
Suddenly. just at a most exciting time.

Incidentally. the sailors Of the reserve
force will receive $1,000 packages of salt

suit of an understanding that q sailor s

something light and nourishing and. at
the same time. restful.
So the reserve fleet. in little while.

ments In the building world. there is
nothing more striking than the steady
growth Of the movement toward better
quality in building construction during
the past 10 or Is years. Where for
merly homebuilders were satisfied
with makeshift construction and with
cheap though gaudy effects in build
ing. there has come to be a general
demand for the best grades of ma
terial and the most thorough work
manship united to form substantial
structures that will endure.
Take. the medium-sized dwelling
house, for instance, such as the aver
age family requires. A generation
ago, $4,000 would probably have been
the top figure considered proper for its
cost. Today no one would think Of
spending less than twice that amount
II he would build with an eye to per-
manent use or future sale.
The increased cost Of labor and ma
terials has had something to do with
this, 1t is true. but not so much as is
sometimes thought No! It is the
added comforts and the higher stand
ard of quality all the way through
that have brought this about. Modern
plumbing and fixtures, modern heat
Ing systems, modern lighting, ce-
mented Easements, permanent fire.
proof roofing, hardwood fioors-aIl
these. which were the Injuries of yes
terday but are the necessities of TO-
day, mark the advancing standards Of
building; and the general building pub
lie now realize what the carpenters
and building contractors have known
all along-that quality building is the
only kind which pays.
AS natural companion to this idea
Of quality building, there has deyel-
oped also an increasing demand for
permanency and lasting endurance in
building work The demand for fire.
proof construction has become more
and more insistent every year, until
now houses which may be considered
fireproof. as least so far as the out
side fire hazard is concerned, are very
common.
The building Of home almost al
ways requires saving and sacrifice on
the part of all In the family, and 1t is
quite natural that they should want to
build as securely as possible 30 that
