BUILDING A BUNGALOW
LIB. Peirson Making Fine Improve,
ment on K Avenue

And now comes X avenue east with
bran new bungalow cottage. l.
b, Pierson is the owner of this and
although in process of erection, II
promises to be an attractive feature
of the street. 1t is of the hip root
bungalow type with a roomy porch
in. front with the living room, dining
room and kitchen on the west side
with colorado between the living
room and dining room. On the
east side, in front is a small library
or den and also bedroom and bath
room. At the rear of these rooms
an enclosed sleeping porch room or
sun parlor has been provided with
glass sashes in winter and screens
In summer. A small hall near the
bath room connects with the dining
room and also the two bedrooms
Roomy closets are also provided as
needed. A back stairway, leads to
the half story attic above and also
"a connection is secured from the
kitchen to the back door and also the
lceflarway. A back porch is also on
the west side of the kitchen. A feat.
ure of this house is that practically
every room Ia provided with wide
double or mullion windows, thus Civ.
ing an abundance of light in all
rooms. The wooden shingle is
used and the exterior will be of ce,
ment stucco. A good basement and
cellar is under the entire house and
furnace heat will probably. be used.
Dormer windows are placed in the
roof at the front and rear. The
house will be thoroughly modern in
all of it's arrangements.
The Jerry Lynch house on the cor.
ner of North d street and F avenue
west is about completed and ready
for occupancy. The grounds are
now being cleaned up, terraced and
graded and finishing touches made
where they are needed. New ce.
ment walks have also been put in.

Homer E. White of 311 North Sec.
ond street has recently added a large
new enclosed front porch to his
house. A new foundation was placed
under the building some time ago

at various times since. 1t now
makes a most comfortable place, as
the porch is large enough to be al,

Mexicans Show Contempt.
(Portland Expressly

"A document which the newspapers
have recently been able to give to the
public lis the minutes of a secret ses-
sion of the insurgent leaders held in
Mexico City, after the receipt of the
Presidents last appeal fer peace. 1t
characterizesT President Wilson as "a
clown who has never been able to cope
with any condition. and refers to the
United States as "a conglomeration of
adventures" The secretary of the
organization one Cana, said among
other things, THE foreigners deserve
that Article .33 of the Constitution of
deportation be applied to them, and
if we really wish to be revolutionists
and patriots we should give that big
oted, ill -intentioned, unsuccessful pro-
lessor of Princeton a severe lesson.
We should not be scared by this RI
diculous and childish American note.
which, like all Wilson has done, is
nothing but words, words, Words.Ds.ts
One might infer that these men
haven't much use either for the
United States or for it's President. Our
Mexican policy has certainly been as
unsatisfactory to Mexico as it has to
us. 1t has apparently brought us
nothing but the contempt of the Mexi-
cans and it is hardly to be wondered
at for the Presidents attitude has
been vacillating in the extreme.

Editorial Comment
The Quality of Silence.
(Pittsburg Dispatch)

Whatever may be the real impor-
lance, If any at all, of the Belgian
diplomatic correspondence from Paris
several years ago which Germany is
now publishing with much glee, it is
plain enough that diplomats. like
politicians sometimes write too much.
Moreover, what most of them write is
mere gossip anyhow. They are not in
actual touch with what goes on vital
ly, and knowing this the minors re-
sort to speculation to impress SUI
periors with their sagacity and activ-
ity.
Simon Cameron of Pennsylvania
was once minister from this country
to Russia, and he held to a philosophic
principle respecting politics which is
as applicable internationally as ma.
tionally, and which it would have been
we'll for the chancelleries of Europe to
have adopted for their representa-
tives. This was to the effect that,
when an important matter Of politics
was to be discussed, it were better to
travel 100 miles to see the man than
write him a letter. This wisdom was
re-emphasized in later years by Sena-
tor Quay in his famous four word
telegram: Dear Beaver: Don't talk"
Both these astute men were past mas
tiers in the game Of politics. and they
knew that it had no more winning
quality than that Of holding ones
tongue and pen at the right time. But
Talleyrand's policy was wisest of all:
Never write a letter and never des-
troy one"

A Blessing in Disguise.

"Bite the Bubble"

If improperly constructed or i'm
properly used, the bubbling drinking
fountain may be a greater menace to
health than the common drinking cup.
The other day an inspector Of the U.
S. Public Health Service took a seat
beside a bubbling drinking fountain in
a railway station and watched the way
in which it was used. Forty-seven
different persons, Of whom II were
men, % were women, and "A were
children, used the bubbling fountain.
In almost every case the lips were
placed almost completely around the
metal ball from which the water
spurted, and one small boy seemed as
if he were trying to swallow it. Sew
eral Of the men obviously were chew
ing tobacco. OF the Al people. four
were colored, three looked as though
they might have tuberculosis, and
three had an eruption upon the face.
Every person using the bubbling
drinking fountain should bear in mind
that the object Of this sanitary device
is to prevent the interchange Of mouth
secretions. When mucous and other
matter becomes attached to metal it
sometimes requires considerable force
to remove it, and this is not always
accomplished by slowly moving cur
rent Of water. In using the bubbling
fountain the rule should be bite the
Bubble" The lips should not toucn
any part of the fountain and under no
condition should the fountain be used
for rinsing the mouth or for ex-
pectorating.
