PREFERRED CAVE TO
LIFE IN A SOD HOUSE
Unique Home of Pioneer and
Family Brought to Light

CARRIER, Okla.-The falling OF five
feet Of cement porch Of a farmhouse
half mile north Of CARRIER brings to
light the unique home of a pioneer Of
this section.
Under this porch was a cave. The
cave was dug in 1894. At point
along a little ravine a sandstone ledge
cropped out, and there s. 81. Peters
tunneled under and excavated two
large rooms. with a sandstone ledge
about three feet thick for a roof. The
rooms extended sixty feet under the
ground. and at the deepest place there
was perhaps eight feet Of dirt on top.
To the back room a skylight 8 by 5
feet was opened.
The rooms were plastered and white
coated. and the rock roof was white
washed, making 1t light enough for
one to read newspapers in any part OF
the cave. 1t was very dry at that
time, and coffee kept in the cave
ground easily. s. 81. Peters and his
family lived there many months be-
fore he built home above ground.
The stovepipe ran up the skynght,
and to persons passing along the road
the smoke coming out Of the ground
was a novel sight. Hundreds Of per
sons visited this cave home, and all
wondered why the roof didn't fan In,
as It was not supported by timbers.
When the wet years came little
spring In the cave which furnished all
the water for the family overfowed
the rooms at times, and In recent years
when the drain became clogged the
cave filed with water. The pioneer
later built a house almost over the
cave.
s. 81. Peters was but little longer
digging the cave home than was re-
ouired to build sod house Of the same
size. Sod houses were the first homes
of most Of the pioneers. The plaster
was the only expense to the cave
home. Today this section has the fin

Thief Robbed the House, but Brought

Sierra Vista, Gala thief with q

of Clark Rubido here and after de-
camping with valuables amounting to
500 returned to the burglarized house
and deposited child's bank containing
81 In pennies, which had been part Of

The Rubido family visited friends IN
Los Angeles that day, and about noon
a neighbor, Mrs. Caroline Martin, saw
a well dressed young man carrying q
suit case walk up to the front door OF
the Rubido home, tumble with the lock
a moment and walk In.
Mrs. Martin thought the stranger
was probably a friend Of the Rubidos
and when the young man reappeared
some time after, still carrying the suit
case, she told him that the Rubido
family was passing the day In the city.
The young man thanked her and hur-
ried on.
Half an hour later Mrs. Martin saw
the young man come back and deposit
something on the front porch Of the
house.
When the Rubidos returned they
found that the pleasant faced young
man had carried away all their silver.

The baby's penny bank, which had
been returned, was about the only

The ripple coat for spring is made In
both cloth and silk. Belts are placed
ut the normal waist line, at slightly
higher than normal or a few inches be-
low the point. Some are short wasted
In the front and long wasted In the

Many coats have high collars and
button up to the throat. They are
made so that they can be worn open
or closed. Oblong sailor collars, draped
collars, ruche effect collars, cape col
lars and simple notched collars are ap-
proved. The cape collar Is made de-
tachable, being fastened with clasps or
with buttons.

Hints About Marking child's Garments
So They Won't Mix.
One can buy in the various stores
initials by the yard, worked In red or
blue outline stitch on narrow strips
Of linen tape, three-eighths or q half
inch wide.
These letters are used for marking
plain underclothing, etc. They are
of great use to the mother with a
large family, who has neither money
nor time to spare on embroidery and
who finds it necessary to have some
distinguishing mark on the clothing,
especially when there are two children
the same size.
{, The letters are cut off from the strip
when needed and overcast on the In
side of the garment, any place where
It will be invisible when worn.
When this system is used even
stockings are easily paired. Sew each
child's initial at the top Of the stock
ing on the inside; then put a cross
stitch in red under the letter on each
stocking of the first pair. Use blue
cross stitch on the second, yellow on
the third, etc.
1t is an easy matter to sort even a
large pile Of stockings, two Ms with
red crosses being a pair Of Mary's
stockings, two Ms with green crosses
another pair, while two Us with blue
crosses are a pair Of stockings be-
longing to Jack.

tial use the blue letters for one and red

ready for, the conflict. 1t is over
year since the Portuguese government
decided to cooperate with the allies
whenever the step seemed necessary.
While Portugal has been preparing for
war for some time, internal political
conditions have delayed matters. A
peace party has made its strength felt
In that republic, but with Germany's
declaration of war party lines viii be
obliterated.
Portugal has an alliance with Great
Britain dating from 1903 that requires
the Portuguese government to furnish
Great Britain with 10000 soldiers when
the latter is at war. While these troops
have not been put at the disposal OF
Great Britain in the European theater
Of war, the Portuguese have been CO.
operating with the troops Of the allies
In Africa.
While the peace strength of the Por-
tuguese army is only 10000, with S,lOo
more men in the colonial army, the
government has 100000 reserves and
S71,476 available men for war pur-
poses. The navy of the republic, how
ever, is one of the smallest In the
world. 1t consists of one second class
cruiser, four third class cruisers, NJ
teen gunboats, five destroyers, four tor
pedo boats and one submarine.
Most Of these vessels are Of an anu
quated type. The Vasco da Cana, the
star ship Of the navy. has been in serv-
Ice since 1878. 1t cost 100000 and Is
Of 1880 tons displacement. 1t Is equip
