Restaurant Cars Now.

On April 1 the Pennsylvania rail
road discontinued the use of the name
dining car for the reason that 1t is
misnomer. After that date cars now
known as dining cars will be called
restaurant cars. The first dining car
was used on the New York Chicago
Limited in September. 1882. Before
that trains had been equipped with
hotel cars, which were sleeping cars
with kitchens. Hotel cars were first
used in November, 1873.

of the general plan and arrangement
of this one. There is small front
porch and also a longer side porch
that will be much in use in the warm
weather.
The sides are finished with beveled
siding, which can be painted any col
or that is desired. The roof is
sningled.
The house creates the impression
of comfort and convenience, which is
in keeping with the room arrange
ment. A house of this style is most
practical for the farmer, and the cost
can be kept down on this type of con-
struction as low as is consistent with
the size of the building and the COM
forts and conveniences that are in

A farmhouse that is the most USE
full must be designed to include many
features that are never considered in
the ordinary house. The basement,
especially, is used so much more on
the farm than it is in the city. Rooms
such as the Mushroom in the floor
plan shown here also have to be pro-
vided.
The basement should be unusually
well built. Concrete should be used

Swelling The Neutral Chorus

to the beigerent nations and the fact that Sweden Is
about to take the same action viii not make he pies
idents course much effective bringing the var

not yet ready quit fighting. Switzerland has FOL
lowed the course which president Wilson hoped and
Sweden and even Holland and Norway may co so i
would not be altogether surprising if Spain we're to add
the chorus urging peace President wilson
desires the backing of neutral nations and may receive
It but without avail
There are indications that the central powers may
comply president Wilson's request to the extent OF
expressing willingness discuss the purposes of the
war and the terms on which they would be willing TO
end the conflict provided the entente powers at the
same time laid their cards down the table IN the
same manner The entente, the other hand, IS IN
sisting on knowing precisely what GeTmanys peace
terms are before expressing willingness even to discuss
peace It would therefore appear improbable that the
entente would lay the cards the table simultaneously
with Germany
