A few years ago a cement house"
was felt to be an uncertain quantity"
and here and there, even to this day,
We find a few lingering remnants of
the old prejudice against this type OF
construction. But now that the man.
ufacture of Portland cement has been
mechanically and scientifically per-
fected, and experience has taught the
world absolutely safe and reliable
methods of using it in the mixing and
structural application of concrete, peo-
pie everywhere are coming In in
creasing numbers to recognize that
the cement house may be just as at
tractive rs any other, just as dry
and healthful and light and CHEEKY,
and may possibly be in the long run
just q little bit the most economical.
In the accompanying perspective
and floor plan we illustrate a very
attractive little house design espe-
cially adapted to cement stucco con-
struction, a type of construction which
is forging its way into increasing ia
NOR hnnargn ~ ;to ,Ioagipr amman
ance when appropriately designed,
and it's comparative cheapness. This
house Is of the characteristic west
ern bungalow style. 1t Is very com.
pact and convenient In arrangement,
all space being used to good advan-
vided, besides bath room and pan.
try, each room being very well
lighted and each bedroom having a
capacious closet.
Many practical builders have said
that the bungalow is a fad, no doubt
good enough, 1t Is true, for southern
California or the southern states,
such as Florida and Louisiana, but
in the main not suitable for practical
building throughout the country at
large. 1t has been affirmed that the
cost of the bungalow style dwelling is
far in excess of that Of the ordinary
type two-story house providing the
same accommodations.
Criticisms against the bungalow
have been due, not 80 much to the
real characteristics of the style itself.

SETTLED OUT OF COURT.
Former Treasurer Will Not Be Prose
cuted in Lyman County.

w @yUIdu SouVty.
Oacoma.-Through a settlement Just
ehected by the states attorney and the
board Of county commissioners with
Joseph +. Stanley, a former county
treasurer OF Lyman county, a special
term OF court which had been called TO
try the Stanley case now will be IN.
necessary. The suit against Mr.. Stan
ley was the result of an investigation
made of the books of the county treas
urer's office and of the other county
offices by 4. b. Wilbur, an expert,
who was engaged by the county COM
missioners for the purpose. The report
OF the expert alleged that the sum Of
$4,17O was due the county from Mr..
Stanley. The county commissioners
Instituted an action for the owe
OF this amount. BY the terms of the
settlement the county has received
from Mr.. Stanley the sum of $3.50. In
addition to SASS. the latter sum being
claimed by Mr.. Stanley to have been
his private funds which got mixed
with the county money. Accountant
Wilbur declined to take the witness
stand if the case against Stanley had
heen tri"d ond ~~"oar thot hts renort
was correct. This would have neces-
Stated the states attorney taking each
item into court and proving them, and
to have done this would have required
severa weeks time. Because of this
and other difficulties in the way of Sc
curing a judgment for the original
amount claimed, the county authorities
believe that they have acted wisely
In making a settlement with the for
mer county officer instead of pressing
the matter In court.

Gunshannan be gan making charges against the man agement of our tuberculosis sanitor- 1un1s- So far as I can learn, it does not deserve the severe criticism which he gave it. Two or three of the mat ters are old scores that occurred while he was a member of the tuberculosis commission.
 There was the case of tl1e incident of the tray of victuals left by the bed- side of n dead man. The poor fellow, ! suppose, had died just as the visitors came along The doctors had thought he would be able to eat something when. as it turned out, he was not.

GREEK CHURCH IS DEDICATED BY
 PHILA. BISHOP

Impressive services marked the de- dication of the new Ruthenian Greek Catholic church at Arctic and Hal lett streets yesterday morning. Prom inent clergymen of the Greek church from all sections of the east arrived in the city Saturday morning to take part in the conservation services, and hundreds of Greek citizens participat- ed in the parade and the services that followed.
 Twenty-hve Greek societies, repre- sented by several hundred men, marched through the streets Of the East Side early in the morning. An escort of police was detailed and three bands made the parade a. fea- ture of the day.
 When the parade arrived at the church. thousands had already con gregated at the new edince, and when the doors of the recently completed .edifice were thrown open, the spa ,cio1ls church was soon filled to ca spacity. There were many expressions of delight from the congregation when they viewed the interior, which is the most bea utifuI of any Greek church in the East
 The Rt Rev. Stephen Soter Ortyn- sky, bishop of Philadelphia, conse- crated the church with very impress sive solemn high mass. He was as- sisted by the Rev. Mirossay of Ton kerS, N. J., as deacon and the Rev.
 Mirror DenoIovah of Ansonia as sub deacon.
 The bishop preached a very inter esting sermon congratulating the pas tor and she congregation on the ac- quisition of such a. beautiful temple of worship. He spoke in high ap- provaI Of the interest shown by the Greek Catholics Of the city in secur- ing funds to erect the church. At a collection taken yesterday after the servi9es over $1,5O0 was contributed.
 There were many visiting priests from out of town and city churches attending the services, among whom were the Very Rev. Valentine Cerzo Of A1cKeesport, Ky; Very Rev. Jo- seph Hamulya, Of Allegheny, Pa; Rev. IN. MoIchany Of Kingston, Pa. Rev. R. za1itach of Hartford; Rev. John Zachargo of Manchester. N. H., and Rev. M. Janko1 of this city.
