Giant of Stars.

Canopus, the giant Of the stellar
system, is. according to recent cal
eulation of w. F. A Ellison, $4,000
times as bright as the sun. 1t is 1S4
times as largo as the sun in diameter,
$4,000 times in surface and 2.420.000
times in volume. Its distance from
us, according to the same estimate. is
4Ss light years. Suppose, says Mr..
Ellison, that instead of being at this
enormous distance it were placed In
the center of the solar system, in lieu
of the sun. It would then occupy
eighty-five hundredths Of the space ly-
ing within the orbit Of Venus, and as
seen from the earth would subtend an
angle of about 70 degrees of arc. Thus.
when it's lower limb was on our hori-
zon. its upper would be within 20 de-
grees Of the zenith. Needless to say.
no life could exist on earth with such
neighbor

Hat DueIs Are BloodIess.

Women like to wear large hats
there is a certain air to them-but
ever since they became fashionable
they have been causing several hun
dred feminine encounters. These hat
duels always start the same way. Two
women, each with big white hats, were
seated in q subway train recently.
Suddenly the stiff, saw-like edge OF
one hat swept the other woman's back
hair. The one who lad been wound
ed turned and glared at the offender,
and in so doing inadvertently, OF
course, sawed the offenders neck with
her own hat. 81 don't care; she
needn't think she owns this car" one
exclaimed aloud to her companion
"She can't be, lady or she wouldn't
act that way" the other remarked
scornfuiiy. The average man who over
hears and oversees one Of these hat
duels is likely to be unduly alarmed
while it lasts, and wonder why there
is no bloodshed.-New York Times.

HAMILTON RANKS SECOND
Among Counties of State in Number
of Automobiles Owned.

Cincinnati, O.-showing an increase
of nearly 80 per cent, the number of
automobiles owned in Ohio in 1915
jumped to $40 from the previous
years total, 122,504, according to
figures given out by H. w. Walker,
state automobile registrar.
Ohio ranks as the second state in
the country in the number of automo-
biles. New York alone surpasses it.
OF the counties Cuyahoga ranks first,
with 26,719: Hamilton second, with
1895; Franklin third, with 9,2S7;
Lucas fourth, with 8,022, and Mont
gomery fifth with 6,160. Registrar
Walker states that the expense of Ii
censing automobiles this year was
$4,000 below last years cost. The
cost that year was Is per cent of the
receipts, he says, as against less thar
per cent this year.

the other side would have to reckon
with Sweep Cazalet.
eIr. Toye already had reckoned with
him, in a little debate begun outside
the old summer schoolroom at Little
ford, and adjourned rather than fin

her heart of hearts Blanche could not
say that Cazalet had the best of the
argument. Toye had advanced gen
eral principle with calm ability, but
Cazalet could not be shifted from the
particular position he was so eager to
defend, and would only enter into alb
stract questions to beg them out OF
hand.
Blanche rather thought that neither
quite understood what the other
meant; but she could not blink the
fact that the old friend had neither the
dialectical mind nor the unfailing
courtesy of the new. That being so,
with her perception she might have
changed the subject; but she could

rooms in the back part of the house
readily accessible. The two bedrooms
in the opposite back corner of the
house from the kitchen can be reached
through this hall. The basement is
made with plenty of headroom SO that
heating plant can be installed. The
house is built well off the ground,
to make this possible.
If storage room for fruits and vege-
tables is desired it is well to place
the furnace in one end of the basement
rather than in the center. The storage
room can thus be kept cool, which
will keep all the perishable things in
good condition.

are finished in one of the typical bum

gled in alternate wide and and mar

placing of the porch in the little bunga-
low shown here, for instance. Instead
Of being handled in the usual way 1t
Is built at the corner of the house.
The entrance is also at the corner,
which has been cut off to accommodate
the door, This arrangement Illustrates
the possibilities of just one part of
the house.
The front door design Is also out OF
the ordinary. Instead of plain panel
door with plain door knob, this door
has several ideas Incorporated in 1t
that are as distinctive as the porch
arrangement The hinges are of heavy
brass and extend almost across the
door. The knob and plate are also OF
the same heavy material to harmonic
with the hinges. Instead of one broad
window across the top of the door,
paneled effect is obtained by placing
narrow strips of glass across the door
horizontally. There are four of these
strips.
The door fixtures illustrate the pos
sibilities of builders hardware. 1t has
often been said that door can either
make a plain house beautiful or beau
tiful house plain. A door as hand
some as this will certainly have a
marked effect ON anyone and will put
them in a mood to appreciate the beau-
ties of the interior decorations.
The corner entrance in this room
presents an excellent opportunity to
develop an artistic floor plan. A dag
