are being rapidly pushed forward as an
advance takes place. Motor traction
is used for the most part in the British
lines, and many of the London motor
omnibuses convey the small ammuni-
ton for rifles and machine guns. They
are sent forward as close to the firing
line as is thought safe. Every driver
in charge of these vehicles is given
careful instructions as to the units
whose pouches and bandoliers he has
to replenish, how many rounds are to
be issued per man, and where the regi-
ment is located. Thus the indiscrimi-
mate distribution of cartridges is re-
duced to a minimum. Otherwise one

Turkish Greeks

The Turks have definite names for
the Greeks who inhabit Ottoman ter
ritory and for those who are their
own masters. The latter are Yunan
and their country Yunanistan-names
derived from ''Ionia"; while the
Greeks and Turks are Rum. By orr
gin this is simply Romans" and is
an inheritance from the Byzantine
days, when the inhabitants of Con
stantinople, the new Rome, were
called Romaioi, while the provincials
were known as Helladikoi Rum"
was the conquering Turks name for
the Byzantine empire. 1t survives in
Rumelia, while the popular Greek Ian
guage of the present day is still
known as Romaic. But every Greek,
in Greece or in Turkey, calls himself
a HELENE.

GETTING A START
NATHANIEL c. FOWLER, Jr.
Copyright. 1sl5, by Mcclure Newspaper syndicaeJ

One day, as John was leaving, the
millionaire poked his head out of the
window and exclaimed: Say, you
man, why don't you slam the doors
like the other fellows?"
John was confused for a moment,
then he pulled himself together and
replied:
What's the use of being nuisance
when you don't have to be?'
Got a moment to spare?" asked the
millionaire.
Sure" replied John.
Come upstairs"
John, in heavy boots and overalls,
with hat in hand, stood at the library
door
sit down, my man." said the mil
lionaire
John perched himself on the arm of
a chair.
Get into that chair, so as to be
comfortable"
John slid into the seat.
Here, have a cigar" and the bust
ness man pushed a box toward him.
The iceman held the cigar in his
fingers, not daring to light it.
Light up, sir. While you're smok-
ing, have something to say to you.
Like your job?'
why, yes, sir" replied John in sur
prise.
Ever thought of getting something
better?'
Guess / amt fit for anything else"
81 differ with you" said the million
aire emphatically. you are the only
gentleman who delivers goods at my
house; the only one who is consider
ate, who thinks while he works.
won't ask who you are or what you
are. l want a doorkeeper at my fac
tory Office. The job is yours"
In a week John was at his post. In
year he was promoted. Today he
isn't partner, and he isn't superin-
tendent Of the factory, but he is draw
ing two thousand year, and is the
most popular man on the premises.
Shutting the door softly isn't much,
is it? But it is one of those little
things, which people don't have to do,
that mark the man who does them.
In the arithmetic of life the deci-
mails as well as the big figures count.

those which seem to loom larger on

WALL NEED NOT BE UGLY
Builder Who Works With Good Taste
Can Achieve Results That Are
of the Best.

There is no reason why brick wall
should be so dull and monotonous, for
there are numerous methods for brick
walls of which any clever architect
or bricklayer might make use, says
writer in the Dayton Journal. Some
times there is a clause in the specif-
cations calling for more or less orna-
mentations of otherwise blank walls.
In Holland, where much brick is
used in domestic architecture, brick
men take delight in showing their
skill in making brickwork and nearly
every cottage shows specimens of
their handicTaft.
1t is not the best thing to do to
select bricks for facings if the bricks
are sound and right in texture. 1t is
pretty safe to say that labor put into
that special picking is worse than
thrown away, is positively injurious,
and that all those slabs of raw, harsh
color might have been rendered soft
and harmonious by using the bricks
just as they came out of the kiln, with
all the perceptible and imperceptible
ordinations of tone conferred upon
them by the accidents of burning
Your great bare spaces will be full
of variety and interests of what paint
ers call quality" but without preju-
dice to the breadth of treatment, be
cause the smallness of the individual
bricks distributes the variation of
color so subtly over the whole surface
that only those who are "in the know"
can realize how it came about. And.
of course, the larger the surface the
wider the diversity of color that can
be introduced without disturbing the
general tone.

The beauty of home depends on
the method of handling the many lit
tie details that go into the making of
a house. There are a thousand ways
of making these little things different
from the average run of houses and
thus giving a distinctive touch to your
home. OF course it requires a little
ingenuity and time to think of these
things
Many people, when they start to
build a home, will get their mind set
on a certain room that they need
After this room has been included i'll
the plan, the rest of the house is built
around it, and all the other details
that are just as important are neglect
ed. In order to build house that is
to be satisfactory all the time, it is
necessary to get a good broad view of
the general arrangement Of the house,
with the pet room as the controlling
idea. Everyone has seen houses that
are planned with just one idea in mind,
and none of them are ever satisfactory
when they are completed.
A beautiful living room will never
make home if the kitchen is arranged
so that everything is as inconvenient
as possible. The working part of the
house is just as important as any other
and should receive its share of atten-
ton. Get all the various parts in mind
and then build your house around
them.
There are also various other items
besides the arrangement of the rooms
that should be considered. Take the
