Another inexpensive House
Home OF Character
No. 322
By John Henry Newson

The plan of this design (24x24 ft) is very
similar to Home of Character No. I64, but
the exterior is changed to full two and half
story house, with attic Of good SIZE and bay
is added to the living room.
The side walls are covered with ordinary
lap siding over sheathing and waterproof
building paper. The roof is slate and founda-
ton rock-faced cement blocks As built the
exterior is all white but the design will lend
itself to variety of pleasing color schemes
which we will be glad to suggest on request
The plan is time tried and will meet the re
quirements of a small family, and, what will
interest most of us, is very Inexpensive to
build. 1t has been built at various costs rang
ing from $500 to s., 800.
For $4,000 this house should be built with
hardwood floors oak trim in living room, din
ing room and hall, Georgia pine trim in re-
mainder of house. good hot air furnace, por-
celain enamel plumbing fixtures and ccmented
basement.

RERLIN (by wireless 20 Sayville),
Jan. 2S.-Among the speeches de-
iiVered in Berlin yesterday in cele-
bration of Emperor Williams birth.
day, the utterances Of two men have
attracted particular attention. Adolf
Wermuth, lord mayor of Berlin, said ::
"The emperor and the German peo-
pie will find in peace their best re-
ward for active perseverance, But we
do not long for peace. The enemy
started out with the purpose of de
stroying the countries in the heart of
Europe.
Whenever the enemy abandons an
effort on account of defeat. he claims
an immortal place of honor in his
tory. Whenever the central powers
conquer new territory their enemies
refer to our despondency Therefore
our country does not talk of peace,
does not yearn for peace, but fights
and works for peace.

A CAMPAIGN TO
BEAUT|FY CITY
CIVIC ASSOCIATION NOW HAS
SOME EXCELLENT PLANS
ON FOOT.

The ladies of the Civic league are
planning an active campaign for beau
tifying Brunswick, and want to enlist
the support of every loyal citizen in
doing their part in this work. They
have mapped out their plans, and if
given the hearty support they deserve,
every Brunswickian. will be proud of
the beauty of their city.
Brunswick has already attracted a
great deal of favorable attention from
outsiders, and with the completion of
the plans as outlined by the Civic
league, it will be more generally rec
ognized as "The City Beautiful"
The idea of the committee on parks,
trees and squares, is along the line of
landscape gardening. Squares are to
be hedged with camphor and magnolia
trees-streets and lanes are to be
beautified with sycamore, elm and
dogWood- are to be made tropi-
cal by the stately palmetto. Withal a
comprehensive campaign has been
planned, and will be carried to com
pletion, if the individual property
owners will give their support.
The improvements around the
squares will of course be public works
but the Improvement of private prop
erty must be done at individual ex-
pense.
In order that property owners may
have whatever improvement they
want at minimum cost, the committee
on parks, streets and squares, through
it's subcommittee, has arranged to de-
liver to any purchaser, trees and
shrubs ready for planting, and in adj
dition will give all possible aid in get
ting them planted.
This is an unselfish work on the
part of the ladies and they should be
given every encouragement.
1t is hoped that all property owners
will call on one of the committee com
posed of Mrs. c. B. Conyers, chair
man; Mrs. c. p Dusenberry, Mrs. w.
]. Butts and Mrs. j. c. Stiles, who
will be glad to furnish all information
as to prices and plans.
Much of the shubbery and many Of
the trees should be ordered now, espe-
cially the dogwood Palmettos order
ed now will be delivered in April.

HUNDREDS ARE

LITTLE ROCK. Jan 28.-Hun-

thousands of acres of land are inun-

Thirty thousand sacks were rushed

to work today reinforcing the leyees.
Heavy rains over the state last
night added still further to a volume
of water and continued rains make
the situation virtually hnmanageable.

MAKES SUGGESTION TO MA
TIONAL FOREIGN TRADE
CONVENTION.
MANY ADDRESSES ARE MADE
Captain Dollar Tells the Con-
vention That 1t Costs More
to Operate Vessels Under the
American Flag.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 2S.-The
reason American business men are
not going into shipping under the
Stars and Stripes in foreign trade is
the lack of any definite national ship
ping policy, Captain Robert Dollar of
San Francisco told delegates of the
national foreign trade convention
here today.
Concerning the proposition for gov
ernment ownership of merchant YES
sells and the leasing of the ships to
private concerns, he said:
at is proposed that the government
embark in a business which normally
costs 25 to 35 per cent more to CON
duct under the American than under
foreign flags. Unless the government
can perform the service cheaper than
private enterprises, It must 1mCur-ue-
ficits to be met out of the public
treasury. The vessels cannot be
leased to private companies unless
the leasing price is low enough to
permit the companies to operate
them at profit.
"If the principle OF government aid
is exercised only through the leasing
of government-owned vessels to pri-
vate eoneernse the American flag in
foreign trade will become a govern
ment monopoly.
Captain Dollar declared that for a
national defense, merchant fleet
built to meet all the needs of com
merce would automatically supply
the auxiliary ships required in time
of war, He favored the creation by
congress of shipping board to rec
ommend TO congress the means nee
essary to establish the American mer
chant marine in foreign trade.
F. d. M. Strachan of Brunswick
Ga, did not attend todays session,
but his paper was read. The only
method of upbuilding the American
merchant fleet in foregn trade was
by governmental equalization of costs
of construction and operation, he
wrote. He suggested this plan:
Governmental equalization of cost
Of a'vessel built in an American ship
yard by American labor, with the
cost of vessel of the same type in a
foreign ship yard; contract between
the. government and American ship
owners to equalize their operating
cost over a period of years with for
eign operating costs; amendment of
American navigation laws to place
themon a par with those of for
eign countries with which American
ships must compete"
