LET Us Have Peace.

The present European war did not
begin with August 1st, 1914. 1t be-
gan years ago. 1t began with the
first sacastic remark, the first envious
look, the first nagging utterance.
Every act has its preliminary.
This country has been and is today
at peace with the whole world. We
want to foster that peaceful relation.
1t may be trife difficult to do so,
but we must stop our present nagging
attitude, To be sure we have been
previously offended by all of the be-
ligerents. But it is also true they
are not doing it in an unfriendly
spirit. Grave provocations are at the
bottom. They are fighting for their
very life, and what they are doing is
not to hurt US, but to injure their
enemy.
We can afford to be big hearted and
good natured. Some day they will all
need US. Let us have peace.

THE idea that America is making
heaps of money out of the war has
been exploded by the 'TimeS." True,
the balance of trade in favor of Amer
lea is unprecedented, but the total
foreign trade for the eleven months
ended June l was only S4,0l6, OCT ZOO,
a gain of only s72,174, COO over the cor
responding period in the preceding
year and of only 49,, l26,0O0 over the
year before that. No, it is evident
that America is not fattening OF the
war. Though there are enormous
profits for the makers of munitions OF
war, their huge total does not offset
the losses suffered by other lines OF
production and trade.

WATCH OUT FOR EXTRAS
AS you BUILD YOUR HOME
Writer Cautions Against Contract
ing Bills for Additional
-- Items.

Are you thinking of building your
own home? And have you ever had
any experience in estimating the num-
Der and amount in money of extras or
small items of expense that are neces-
sary before the house. ia completed?
Little things are overlooked through
inexperience by the home builder and
not included in the contractors bill for
the opposite reason, yet must be paid
the same as the larger and more con-
spicuous parts of the construction
work, says William Robertson in the
Cleveland Plain Dealer. --.
But the contractors shouldn't neces-
sarily be blamed. Contractors build
houses for living. And every dollar
saved in material and labor is dollar
earned
For that reason contractors when
taking job for a stipulated amount
are not necessarily overtalkative in
going into detail concerning matters
with which the unsophisticated pro-
spective home owner has had little or
no experience.
While the incidentals or extras which
must become part of the cost Of the
home rarely are the same in two cases,
here are few extras that frequently
are overlooked:
Not Included in Contract.
Inside the home there are many items
of expense that are not included in the
contractors bill. which sometimes are
overlooked by the inexperienced
builde- Some contractors furnish
window shades. If shades are not fur
nished the shade bill is according to
the number of windows and the quail
ity you desire. Another item is cur
tain rods, which cost according to the
quality desired.
You also must purchase twenty-five
or thirty electric light bulbs, and hot
plates for your laundry, If they were
not specified in your contract. A gas
stove for the kitchen also might come
in for mention. And just about this
time the insurance bill turns up. You
must have your home insured. The
bill must be paid. .-
Incidentals and extras that go with
the completion of brand-new house
are many. Much time and trouble
would be saved the prospective home
builder if before starting to build he
gave some thought to the extras.

Entrance on 18th Street.

The main entrance, which is to be on
the 18th street side, is to be quite
elaborate in design, being ornamented
with stone columns with carved pi-
lasters above. Within the entrance
there is to be a wide lobby with door
ways leading into the auditorium and
into a store which is to occupy the cor
ner of the ground floor with frontages
on both 18th street and Columbia road.
At the south end of the lobby will be
grand stairway of stone construction
leading to the balcony of the audi
forum.
Ten office rooms are to occupy the
18th street side of the second floor of
the building, and on the third floor will
be rooms designed for use as art and
music studios.
The auditorium is to have a unique
ventilating system. Under each seat
there is to be opening in the floor
through which warmed air will be
forced in winter from a heating plant
located in the basement. During the
summer months cold air will be forced
through these openings. The air is to
be cooled by means of a refrigerating
plant to be located in the basement.

NOW is TIME TO PUSH
GARDEN CITY MOVEMENT

The time has never been more OPP
perfume than the present for American
manufacturers to give serious thought
to the advancement of the garden city
movement" says w. J. Hoggson in the
New York Times. THE congestion In
our large cities. contrary to all nat
ural laws, has about reached it's limit.
We can no longer excuse ourselves for
past errors in town planning on the
theory that this is a young country.
New towns are being laid out today
with the same pitiful lack of construc-
tive inlag ination as heretofore; paral-
leled streets giving the aspect of a
great ugly checkerboard no civic CEN
ter, no Fairgrounds. insufficient parks.
THE garden cities that are destined
to bloom in America. and that are to
be the result of movement fathered
by the American industrial institutions
should be lacking in no respect and
should be equal. If not superior, to any
like developments anywhere in the
world
THE garden city and town planning
movement has reached the highest
point of effectiveness in England. The
model villages of Letchworth Port
Sunlight, Bournville. which provide
homes, real homes. for working people,
are artistic creations of men possessed
of splendid imagination and sympa-
thetic understanding"
