 Plate glass takes the place Of carpets in the New Jersey home re- gently built by Theda Bara; who is starred in the William Fox photo play, "The Serpent Miss Bara objects to carpets as unsanitary and hard wood floors because of the hardships imposed on servants in keeping them clean. The glass floors are easily cleaned. A cold air system, operating beneath the floor. keeps the under side of the glass at certain temperature. When the heat in the room is turned on mist forms on the glass floor. The steam or mist is wiped of with a dry cloth and the floor is as bright as ever.

 WESTERN DRIVE.

LONDON, Aug. 25-Germany is making plans for tremendous westsrn drive. Indications point to an early beginning of the drive. Concentrated forces are being gath cred at the stragetical points. Arms, ammunition, and fighting ap- paratus of all kinds have been rushed to the western front.
 French forces operating on the Somme river are preparing to ex- tend their offensive fighting front southward for twenty miles in hopes of cutting thru the lines and forcing Germany back on a solid defensive so that the eastern drive will have to be abandoned.
 British forces will move up and strongly fortify all of the ground gained in the Somme sweep so that in the event of dash againsf her advance lines a solid front will be ready to open fire upon the ag- grcssors.

WARM WORDS ON
 SENATE FLOOR

WASHINGTON. Aug. 25-Senat- or Owen, Democratid senator, bust out with a viadictfve flow of fureDsics on the floor of the sen- ate yesterday afternoon. He open ly charged the Republican senators clogging up the wht els of progress or the Democratic congress. He charged the RepublCians with sand bagging the Corrupt PrLctices act so that it would not come before the law makers this session.
 The Corrupt Practices act would place a limit on .he amount of money that a national senator or representative could spend in his campaign. A st.ict account of all expenditures are filed with the federal clerk. A heavy penalty fol- lows a rreach of the law.
 Hot and heavy words followed and for a time 1t looked as if a general rough and tumble fight might occur on the floor of the senate Democratic supporters finally got the senator quiet, how ever, only after he had said all that there was to be said on the subject. and his motion for in- yestigation was tabled.
