Railway Accidents in 1914.

Accident bulletin 50 of the interstate
commerce commission for the year end
ed June 80, 1914, shows that there was
comparative improvement in the num-
Der of accidents on the steam railways
OF the United States during the year.
The total number OF casualties for the
year was 202.964, Of which there were
l0302 killed and l02,662 injured, de-
crease compared with the previous year
of 500 in the number killed and $40
in the number injured II is to be re-
GREETED that the claim OF one or two
OF the larger roads Of the country that
no passengers were killed on their roads
during the year does not apply to all
roads. for among the number killed, PCS
were passengers. OF the remaining num-
her OF killed, $3.50 were employees and
6,77S were other persons classified as
trespassers and non-trespassers. IL is
astonishing to find that doubling the
number Of employees killed does not quite
equal the number killed of persons in
no way connected with railroad opera
ton or management OF travelling AZ
passengers. II Is likewise surprising 90
note that among the total casualties.
202 g6i. the killed numbered 4O9gp en-
ploycs. and the injured 1924 from "in-
dustrial accidents, defined IN the bulle-

For this reason ths buffet sideboard

For this reason tho buffet sideboAfd is built against the back end of the dining room to avoid any unnecessarily obstruction in the main part of the room. The living room and dining room are both made especially light and airy by two triple windows and three single windows. The present fashion is to have plenty of light in the living rooms, and it is a good fashion that should remain in vogue for the next thousand years. The his- tory of house windows reads wider with each century.
 An interesting feature of this house is the manner in which the stairway Is built To commence with, there Is a grade entrance at the side of the house which leads down into the cellar and up into the kitchen, combination that is used in a great many modern houses. The same economy of space and travel is employed in the stairway to the second floor and to the attic. It doubles back from a landing halfway between floors. The landing is pro- vided for by an extension built as 8

upon which are erected 2 by 6 inch studding with 24-inch centers. On the top of the studding rests 2 Dy 6 inch plate, and the studs are sheathed inside and outside with rough boarding. The outside is then covered with weatherboarding. The roof has two-thirds pitch and is con( structed of by inch rafters, 24A inch centers, boarded and covered with shingles. In each gable Is located slat ventilator, 21s by 11s feet, which with the high pitch of the roof allows for an abundance of free circulation of air over the ice. The milk room is provided with two glass windows 3h by feet, one in each end. The milk room is provided only with movable ice-water tank, 3M by by 3 feet, in which are placed the cream cans. A rope and pulley which are fastened to the ceiling arc used in transferring the ice from the icehouse up and over the wall and lowering it into the tank. The mate rial and labor for constructing this combination milk and icehouse amounted to $125. The shrinkage ons the 100 cakes in storage was esti- mated at about IS to 20 per cent. The ice in this house cost cents a cake. exclusive of hauling and storing.

GOOD FEED FOR YOUNG F0Al
Grain With Dam-Weanins Made Rather Easy Task.

Are you giving that young foal the proper care? To become strong. sound horse. when matured, the foai must .be we'll nourisned and given every advantage possible.
 The foal should be taught to eat grain very early. By placing the feed box from which the dam eats her grain now. the foai, at about two months of age. will begin nibbling with the moth CT, and will soon acquire taste for the grain.
 A pen built in one corner of the field made high enough to keep the marc out and allow the colt to pass under will make it possible to feed the foal grain with very little difh- culty. Allow the mare in the inclo- sure with the foal for few times. and it will soon learn to go in it. self. Keep a liberal supply of grain. preferably oats and bran. and perhaps some cracked corn. in the feed box. To induce the dam to loiter about with the colt. have the pen near a. shade tree or the salt box
 By weaning time the foal will have become thoroughly accustomed to eat ing grain and will wean very easily. besides being in better condition as a result of this additional feed.

SERIOUS DISEASE OF CALVES
Diphtheria 10 Very Contagious and Contracted Principally by Young
 Animals-Some of Symptoms.

Calf diphtheria is seric ls disease appearing among calves three to five days old. Infected calves refuse to drink or suck, have some discharge of saliva from the mouth and there are inflamed patches inside the mouth which gradually develop into ulcers. There Is fever. and an offensive odor from the mouth. The disease Is very contagious and is contracted princi- pally by young calves and pigs up to six or eight months old, although oc- casionally adult cattle and hogs have 1t.
 Dr. NJ. H. Reynolds of tho Mime sota station advises treating the sores by first cleaning with a 2 per cent so- lution of creolin in warm water and then treating twice day with solu- ton of permanganate of potash. two ounces to gallon of water. this treat ment to be kept up for about week. The potash solution should be made fresh each time Thoroughly clean up the calf pen and yards and spray with disinfectant.

The front steps here shown are ten feet wide in the clear between the ramps, and the front door is built in proportion. The door is four feet six in width and is ianked on both sides with the old-fashioned front door side lights. Such front entrance doors used to be plentiful, but they went out of fashion 20 years or 30 years ago. They are now coming back into use because of real merit
 The floor plans of this house are just as interesting as the perspective. There are three living rooms and a re- ception hall on the first floor and there are four good square bedrooms and a bathroom on the second floor. The living room and dining room are con nected by an archway wide enough so that the two rooms may be made into one by opening both doors clear back.

Prehistoric Trenches.

The Prehistoric society of East An glia has issued a report that deals with Grimes Graves. Norfolk. These Impressions in the ground are of un- known age. and. it has been said. were great flint quarries-the Neo- lithic arsenal of Great Britain's stone age. The society's report now likens them to prehistoric trenches. They were capable of receiving, concealing, and burying an army. The stature of the prehistoric girl whose partial remains were preserved in the chalk of Crimes Graves was about four feet. Part of mans skull was found. It had brain capacity greater than that of modern Englishmen. The skull bones were thicker. But science says that brain capacity is indicated by quality, not quantity.

By WILLIAM A. RADFORD.

Mir. William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building. for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as Editor, Author and Manufactures, he Is. without doubt. the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 1927 Prairie avenue. Chicago, H.. and only enclose two-cent stamp for reply.
 Probably the most economical house design for the nothern sections of the country is square-built two-story house with good basement. It is a good sensible way to build and it solves the heating problem in winter with greater satisfaction than any other style of house known to the American builder.
 The principle of the circulation of warm air applies splendidly in com pact two-story house. The tendency of hot air is to rise, because hot air is lighter than cold air. In applying this principle the cold air is taken in from outside through the cold air boxes rooms on the first floor during the whole 24 hours. The upstairs regis ters usually are closed during the daytime in cold weather because the surplus heat from the first floor finds its way to the upper rooms through the stairway. The upper rooms are also warmed to certain degree through the floors. This is written with warm air furnace in mind. The same principle applies to a certain extent when the hot water system of heating Is employed.
 The house shown in this design is

room. although the two small linen closet doors open into the hallway.
 The attic is of use only for storage purposes and for the dFying of clothes on stormy washdays For this reason there is sensible stairway leading up to the attic and a door at the foot which closes it off from the rest of the house.
 It is necessary to have a good wide lot for house built after this design to show 1t to advantage. On general principles full two-story square house may be put on a smaller lot than wide spreading or squatty building. but any good dwelling deserves room enough to look right. When buying a lot for home or planning house for a lot already purchased it is we'll to keep in mind that any house looks best when it fits the lot.
 The lawn around a good full two story house requires different treat ment from a low dwelling with an overhanging roof. Shrubbery and vines are needed for the proper finish of any dwelling and room for these should be provided tor when the plans are being drawn and the lot purchased.
The Spectator., 1915-10-12

space saver to give plenty of length of stair run with wide treads and easy risers. The extension also contains windows to light the stairway, and as 1t is artistically designed it adds to the general appearance of this side of the house.
 A study of the second-floor plan will show that every square foot of floor space works to advantage. There are four bedrooms and four clothes closets all arranged on straight lines without shutting the light from any window and without any useless corners Such a splendid arrangement of rooms is considered quite triumph of skill on the part of an architect.
 There is practically no wall space in the upper hallway; it is all taken up by the necessary doors. Even the linen closet is filched from the bath
