Bungalows and Apartments of Today
Have No Place for Great Pic
lures of Past.

"The future of art will be in mu-
seums, as the future of the dead is
in cemeteries" John L. Balderston
quotes George Moore in The Atlantic
"As 1 have said, after the art of the
temple, the cathedral, and the palace,
came the art of the house, which was
the last phase; for now the art of the
house is dead, since people no longer
live In houses. They are all moving
into bungalows, or, which is the same
thing, into apartments-and in a bun
galOw there is no room for 9rt. We
have futile attempts at art for the
bungalow, as we shall have pretended
art for the Pullman car, for the motor,
for the aeroplane. The great pictures
Of the past, having hung in houses for
centuries, are passing into museums,
not only because people are moving
out Of houses, but because new social
ideas are destroying the great estates
and making it impossible to keep vaIu-
able art works from one generation to
another. In England now three death
duties will break up the greatest estate
in the kingdom. You say you still have
houses in America and millionaires
with money enough to buy pictures?
All, but think of what they buy! II
takes lifetime to learn to recognize a
good picture, and how can a man who
has spent his best years making a for
tune expect to know a masterpiece
when he sees it? When 1 was in Paris
forty years ago your rich Americans
were buying trash p

''What are you going TO do about it?"
Whitaker inquired with irony.
'Wash and make myself fit TO eat
food" was the response. ."I may pos
sibly think a little. It's an exhilarat-
ing exercise which don't hesitate to
recommend to your distinguished con-
sideration."
He was out of earshot, within the
bungalow, before Whitaker could think
up an adequately insolent retort. He
could, however, do no less than smile
incredulously at the beautiful world
so much, at least, he owed to his self
respect.
In the deepening twilight a mental
shadow came to cloud the brightness
of Whitaker's confident contentment.
Neither good food nor good company
seemed able to mitigate his sudden
seizure of dependency. He sat gloom
ing over his plate and glass, the bur-
den of his conversation yea, yea and
nay, nay. His host diagnosed his COM
plaint from beneath shrewd eyebrows.
Whitaker" he said at length, "a
pessimist has been defined as a dog
that won't scratch"
"Well?" said the other sourly.
Come on. Be a sport. Have a good
scratch on me-"
Whitaker grinned reluctantly and
briefly.
"Where's my wifeY he demanded
abruptly.
"HOw in blazes-p

planned. "You make great pretensions,
and yet you fall down fiat on your fool

rOsely.

Bait That Counted.

Although. the notice plainly stated
that fishing was prohibited there, the
angler sat placidly dangling his line
over the stream.
The irate keeper, who approached
him, was surprised to see that the
line was baited with a potato. In an
amused voice he asked the intruder
what he was doing"
Fishing" was the reply. "You
see, my health has been upset by
financial worries, and 1 came down
here to see if fresh air would helm
| me-"
Thinking that perhaps the poor chap
was mentally afflicted, the keeper went
away without denouncing him.
That evening the keeper was in the
local tavern, telling his friends about
the potato-baited line, when in walked
the angler.
ANY luck?" said the innkeepe,
kindly.
"Oh, fair!" was the reply, as the
fisherman opened his basket and dis
played fine catch
Look here" stormed the infuriatet
keeper, "yOu didn't catch that lot will
a potato"
"Oh, mol" said the angler ccolIy
THAT was what l caught you with"

SMALL AREA. IS CULTIVATED
Only 100000 Acres in New Mexico
Under PloW-Nearly Half of
State Is Public Land.

OF the 78,485, ,760 acres of New Mex
leo nearly half is public land and H.
100000 acres state land, according to
Uncle Sam. Ranches cover 12,00O,000
acres, somewhat less than 100000
acres are cultivated, and less than 600,-
600 acres are irrigated. Of the irrigated
area 100000 acres belong to individu-
ais or partnerships, $4,000 acres to
commercial organizations, 100000 acres
to cooperative or community organiZa-
tions and 10000 acres to Indians. The
remainder is irrigated under govern
ment reclamation, and the area so
served will be considerably increased
when the lands below the Elephant
Butte dam are utilized.
One of the greatest mineral re-
sources of New Mexico is coal, which
occurs in the large fields west of Ra-
ton, at places near Cerrillos, about
Gallup, and in several other areas.
There are also valuable mines of gold,
copper, silver, lead and zinc. The to-
tai production of these metals in 1915,
according to the United States geolog-
ical survey, department of the interior,
had a value of $19, ,279, ,46S, of which
$13. .437, 1854 was copper, an output that
gives New Mexico considerable pror1i-
nence as a copper producer. The out
put of gold was 81 ,461 ,005. The value
of the coal mined in the state in 1915
was $5,4S1,3e

1t has been said that one way to
judge the character of man is to eX-
anime the house he lives in. AL
though a liberal discount must be al
lowed in the application of such a
principle, there is undoubtedly some
truth in the statement, especially when
it is applied to q man who lives in a
house built from plans of his own Sc
lection. The least that may be said
in this respect is that the foresight of
the man is indicated by the manner
in which the house meets the needs
Of his family. Comfort and conve-
nience are the qualities which are
most appreciated, but there are a vast
feet these qualities and which must
be accounted for in the selection: of the
house design.
One of the most common errors
made by the man who is undertaking
the task of selecting a design for his
home is that of overestimating the
size of the, house which he requires.
In the first place, the larger the house
the harder it is to make it seem cozy
and homelike. The man of moderate
income who must ask his wife to keen
up the house without assistance is not
taking her into very deep considera-
ton if he builds a house which is, a
great deal too large for the needs of
the family. Further, with the same
investment the smaller house may be
fitted up with a number of features
| having convenience and comfort as
their direct purpose, the cost of these
features being absorbed in the cost OF

Why the Cord Of Woo shrinks.

Ralph Faulkner and Henry Stern
berg, students in the College of For
estry at the University of Washington,
have proved by experiment that cord
of full1ength wood when sawed and
replied in the ordinary stack shrinks
on an average 24.76 per cent. AS deal
ers buy wood in full lengths and usu--
ally measure it for delivery beforeSaw--
ing it, they are often accused of giving
short measure.
A cord" is the standard measuIe--
ment of wood, and it is defined as 12S;
cubic feet of wood, measured by pile.
four feet high and eight feet wide Of
logs four feet long.
The discrepancy between the cord,
as bought by the dealer and as deliN--
cred to the customer, according to,
Prof. Hugo Winkenwerder, dean of the
college. is not entirely explained by
| the sawdust. When wood is piled up,
in four-foot lengths there are. many
spaces between sticks, caused by knots;
and curyatures. These spaces, are,
eliminated when the wood is cur up

FROM ALL OVER

Western Africa has a small species
of hippapOtamus not much larger than
a pig. 1t has been proposed that this
animal be brought to the. swamps of
Louisiana for cultivation as a salts

species would break down fences.

of the house will be appreciated by
every housewife. At the rear of the
kitchen are the pantry and the rear
porch. Both of these may be used to
very good advantage in connection
with the kitchen. The pantry is fit

large window furnishes an abundance
of light. The refrigerator may be
placed on the rear porch, and. since
this porch is open on one side only, q
great many uses may be found for the

There are two bedrooms, each hav-

the house and the other at the rear.
A hall connects all rooms with the ex-

a closet in the hall which furnishes

Hamlet and Other Men.

AS every man, according to Cole
ridge, is born either a Platonist or an
Aristotelian, so there is no human be-
ing in whom some of the characters
ties of Hamlet do not exist.
In this marvellous creation is present
ed mirror in which the most exalted
and the most contemplate of our spe-
cies may catch glimpses of them
selves.
Hamlet is not so much an individual
as humanity individualized, not so
much a man in integrity as man in
solution.
Probably no poet, no artist, no phil
osOpher has ever existed who would
not recognize a kinsman in him, and
who would not read more than one
chapter of his own most secret history
in this all-typical delineation.
He is at once the type of those to
whom life owes it's richest possessions
and of those who strew it with
| wrecks.

UNCLE SAM REWARDS CANINE
Handsome Insignia for Faithful
Watchdog of Mails.

Uncle Sam, through the agency Of
Postmaster General Burleson, has
adopted an ownerless dog which for q
long time has made it its business to
attend the parcel-post carrier at Mount
Carmel, Pa, and to guard the mail in
the absence of the carrier.
Mr.. Burleson has dispatched to
Mount Carmel a beautifully designed
brass-studded and buckled leather col
lar, on which is a brass plate en-
graved: ''U. S. Mail, Presented to
Uncle Sans Faithful Friend by Al
bert S. Burleson, Postmaster General" J"
The collar will be locked on the
dogs neck and then the key will be
thrown away.
A Pennsylvania wrote to Mr.. Burle-
son of the dogs faithfulness to a self
imposed task and complained that
many. kicks were the portion, instead
of cozening. The postmaster general
Immediately forgot about official cares
long enough to see that proper recog-
milton was given the canine waif.

Improvement on x.Rax

The Xzray has become indispensa-
BILE to the modern surgeon and i'm
provements are being made, upon it.
A recent one is device which, after
revealing the location of an injury or
disease. spot, enables the surgeon to
keep it in sight as he operates. A
framework going aroundI the surgeons
head is fitted with Horoscope
instrument by means of which OBJ
jects revealed by the X7DaEs are made
visible to the human eye. The pa
tient is placed on a special operating
table with the X-ray turned on, and
the surgeon can work easily. since he
sees what is before him continually
instead of having to work gropingly
from the remembrance of what was
revealed in the X-EaX photograph.
