The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1914-06-20

Hampton institute is an undenom-
national school for the training of
teachers and leaders in agriculture,
the trades and community work.
DR.. George P. Phenix, vice-princi-
pal Of Hampton institute, has said:
Moral qualities, which in the aggre-
gate make strong character as well
as economic efficiency, are developed
through the combination Of industrial
work by day and academic work by
night, as they could not be by either
alone, and longer hours are made pos
sible in the trade, agricultural and do
nestle science departments.
Every student in the trade school
has n hour Of study early in the
morning, eight hours of work in the
trade school, and two hours of aca-
demic work in the evening period.
This makes II hours a day, outside
Of which he must get time for meals,

Ices and recreation. Yet the students
gain in health and skill, in scholarship
and in character"

dents, the following courses are of

characteristic charm inherent in Mount Vernon,
the old farmhouse at Ridgefeld and the colonial
e4empiars generally. Freed from the attempt to
invent an American style, they deserve credit in
tnat tney come SO near to their goal, considering
also the commercial distractions and blandish-
ments which interfere in America.
1t would seem that the architect of the modern
farmhouse illustrated had not taken time enough
70 work out his adaptation of the Mount Vernon
motive. The attenuated posts have nothing 10
support, the portico is carelessly attached, and the
windows were inserted wherever a necessity for
one seemed to exist. 1t may be that the inspira-
ton for this farmhouse was not derived from
Mount Vernon at all, but from some mediocre farm
house Of that decadent period in America lnaugu-
rated with President Jackson in 1829-the work OF
Observation-Disclosures which is in no sense a prototype
Of American renaissance, and ought not to be per-
petuated. The colonial carpenters, who often
worked without a master spirit, possessed a fair
knowledge of the orders, though. Thomas Jefferson
said there was none who could draw them accu-
rately.
Architects affect one another. Interchange of
views makes for a consensus of opinion, and just
at present there is great Partially for the long,
low, horizontal line, the Spanish roof and the
ubiquitous pergola effect, with unduly lofty win
dows upon the first floor and unduly short ones on
the second. But in spite Of these professional
~fetishes. MI, Aymar Embury succeeds in produc-
ing a beautiful architectural composition (see
river elevation of the house at Bedford Hills, New
York;. American architects will give you, how
ever. If you prefer 1t, snug home atmosphere, as
exemplifed by the cottage at Bronxville, New York,
designed by Mr.. William A. Bates. So much for
the architectural in~tegument; but when it comes
to the question Of animal comfort, the scientific
and hygienic achievement, the economy OF space
and of time, and the elimination of labor in the
household, then, indeed, the American architect
becomes an infallible counsellor for the prospec-
tive home-builder. No American cottage, however
humble, is considered quite a hygienic proposition
for alltheyear-round occupancy without a good,
dry cellar, at least seven feet in the clear. and with
a lath and plaster ceiling. Some product of tar is
usually employed for coating the exterior of the
wall beneath the ground level. An adequate un-
foreground drain, constructed either of pipes or
broken stone, leading to some natural intercourse
or low land away from the building, is always pro
vided. II it is possible. In the middle OF the cellar
is placed the heating apparatus, whether for warm
air, steam, hot water or the vacuum system. from

PERPETUAL MOTION IS SOLVED?

An article in a daily paper telling of a cash
offer by a French engineering society for a sue
cessful perpetual motion machine planted in the
studious head of ]. P. Machezis, a native of
Lithuania, an idea which, he says, has finally
worked out, according to a Grand Rapids CORE
s%pondent of the New York World. 1t was in 1906
that he read of the offer. He began thinking, and
in the end concluded that he could build a ma
chine. He took a wooden soap box and worked
out his model.
Nothing elaborate resulted, but his contraption
worked, he says. He admits that It did not run
"perpetually," because, as he explains, there was
too much friction of the unplaned parts. which
were only loosely hung together. 1t did operate
long enough. however, and without other motive
than its own momentum, to convince Machezis
that he was on the right track.
After dismantling his model SO that no one
could steal his secret he did nothing for six years
but think, think. think. Not once did he pick
up a tool to put any Of his theories In concrete
form, but he got them on paper and kept them
in his head. He altered his model and expanded
on his original idea. He added more uprights
and decreased the number of laterals. He de-
cided to lengthen his guides and make them out
of aluminium and he added a couple of feet to
the length of the machine.
At last his thoughts reached the stage where
they commanded actual construction to start. and
he began in 1912.
Now. after six years of thought and study and

two years of actual work, Machezis has his ma
chine all but completed. The machine is five
feet four inches high and ten feet long.
The inventor will say nothing regarding the
operation of his machine for fear his secrets will
be stolen. He intends to. take patents out soon
80 that he will be safe in giving the public the
details.
He is firm in the belief that his product will
have a big commercial value, developing horse
power enough to drive factory machinery and do
all the work now done by the stationary engine.
He says he will explain its operation in detail
and bare all his secrets to any one interested
in 1t.
All that he will say now is that the throwing
of a lever will start the machine, and that a large
steel spring, so devised as to uncoil and coil al
t%ernately, is its power, and these are obvious
facts.
The machine as It stands now does not repre-
sent the inventors entire idea, there is much
wood In it that viii be supplanted by metal tub
ing and rods.
Machezis is thirty-two years old, and has been
In the United States since 1899.

Farming offers an inducement to
Missouri negroes unsurpassed by any
other calling and solves the problem
of their future by giving them oppor-
tunities and advantages which no 9th
er vocation holds out, declares Com
missioner John T. Fitzpatrick In a bu-
reau Of labor statistics bulletin.
The negro population of Missouri
Is 157,452 men, women and children,
with 1890 living in st. Louis, 23,566
in Kansas City, 4,249 in st. Joseph,
1895 in Springfield, sol in Joplin,
1871 in Sedalia, 1886 in Hannibal and
the others scattered over the state
including the few that now own farms

else On them, $&7, 1885, $50, using the
average value of a Missouri farm ST.
405 as the basis for computation.
The farm Of the average Missouri
negro farmer, just like that Of his
white brother, the bulletin says, is
well kept and well stocked, and Ia
very productive, growing wheat, corn,
oats, grasses, watermelons, strawber-
ries, peaches, apples and all other
food necessities. Negroes raise poul
try for the market, sell eggs, milk and
butter, have beehives and plenty of
honey, produce sugar cane which, in
fall, they boil out for sorghum mo
lasses. Their daily menu is made of
the best things they produce, being
far superior to that of the average
city negro, who half the time is out
of work and has no money to buy
food.
The life Of the negro farmers is
full of comforts and joy. In winter
most of them are well housed, warm.
snug and well fed. Free fuel wood
furnished by the timbered lands in
and around their farms does away
with coal bills. Every Sunday there
is chicken, sweet potatoes, honey,
dumplings, apples, nuts and other
dainties, with strawberries or water
melon in summer and turkey or duck
and mince or pumpkin pie in winter.
Fresh eggs and hickory smoked sugar

Nearly every negro farmer Of Mis-
souri, has a bank account, and his.
profits allow him to take a vacation in
st. Louis, Kansas City, or some other
metropolis once or twice a year. He
owns three or four suits Of clothes,
with shoes and hats to match.

son be said that household servants are the line of
demarcation between the rich and poor in America,
could the line be not more exactly drawn at such
reasonable mental and physical comforts in life as
are necessary to health. The kitchen, therefore,
has to be as few steps from the dining room or
dining table as may be, yet so perfectly separated
that smells or smoke from the cooking cannot in
wade the living part of the cottage. Every Ameri-
can cottage has to be screened during the summer
with bronze-wire screens to doors and windows.
The bronze-wire will not rust. The mosquito has
been largely exterminated by scientific measures
for its destruction; but flies and other insects
abound, while the screens also arrest the entrance
of cockroaches and mice, and so enable the doors
to remain open indefinitely. . A bathroom with a
vitreous tile floor, and painted walls with rounded
corners like those of a hospital ward, is always
specified. The attic or gable rooms of a small cot
tage are not comfortable in summer, as a rule;
but by insulating the roofing with various In
conducting materials that are to be had, they are
made much more useful than formerly, to the ad-
vantage of the temperature In the second-story
rooms. The modern American cottage lacks chin
