Tremendously Big Spot Today.

There is Tremendously big spot on the
sun today, Capt. Hoogewerff says. He
did not say that today's weather is
traceable to that sun spot. But here is
what he did say:
The sun is the source of all our life
and energy. The sun runs the earth,
scientifically, so it is not unreasonable
to think that it would take a hand in
the weather here"
Because the maximum periods of sun
spots is so far apart-eleven yearS-the
relation of these spots to the earth's
weather is difficult to establish, de-
clared Rev. Louis Rodes, assistant in
the ebro-laboratory at Torton, Spain,
sence, studying meteorological subjects
in this country. and is now located at
the observatory of the Georgetown Uni
versity. At the observatory in Spain
Iten-year study of sun spots was con-
summated in order to establish the
connections of the spots with the earth
along all possible lines According to
Father Rodes. it was found that in
many cases the effect of sun spots was
without doubt certain, chiefly as re-
CARDS magnetism and electrical cur
rents.
LAS regards weather connections, he
said this morning, that is more diff
cult to establish, because the period of
the sun spots is so far apart. 1t Is my
opinion that the connection is very

To solve this perplexing weather mys-

when he got back home he summed UP
his results about as follows:

Who Recognize the Spirit
Of the Times.

Hopewell, Va, is the youngest in
dustrial city in the United States. A
year ago it's site was peaceful Vir.
ginia farm a few miles from Peters
burg Then industry waved it's magic
wand and planted a great factory in
the solitudes. Now it has a popula'
ton of $4,000 and is growing daily
So metropolitan is Hopewell that mu'
nicipal information is printed in five
different languages. A liberal per
centage of native Americans in the
professional and commercial class
however, are enthusiastically aiding in
planning city capable Of ideal civic
attainment.
Hopewell was founded as the perma'
nent center for large manufacturing
plant supplying munitions of war tc
European nations. It's plans were
based upon the full recognition Of the
fact that the highest efficiency of the
worker can only be expected under the
best living conditions.

KEEPING UP RURAL SCHOOLS
Important Matter That Is Just Now
Engaging the Attention of Illinois
Educational Authorities.

Many good school people are view
Ing with alarm the new campaign for
better school buildings" says bulle-
tin issued by the Illinois department of
public instruction. "They fear that
every dollar put into new buildings
and equipment fixes more firmly the
position of the small district and con-
sequently postpones the time for con-
solidatiOn.
ut must be admitted that there is
some ground for this fear. Every i'm
provement in the local one-teacher
school district will constitute an argu-
ment against its discontinuance. How
ever, it is manifestly unjust to the 300,-
600 children in these rural schools to-
day to keep them living and working
under unfit and insanitary conditions

Arrangement of Home.

No more important question con
fronts the home builder than the ex'
posture of the rooms in his prospective
home, for no matter how charming o
house may be, nor how convenient its
interior arrangement, it cannot be en-
tirely successful unless each room has
a favorable exposure.
A living room having windows on Its
east and west sides may capture both
the morning and afternoon sun, and
If in addition it opens out on porch
facing the south, no more satisfactory
arrangement Is possible.
A porch facing the south makes
a pleasant open-air living room in
warm weather, and CHEEKY, glassed
in sun parlor in the winter.
For the dining room an eesterly e0
posure is desirable, thus giving one
a cheerful amount of sunshine fol
what is apt to be In many household
the most trying meal of the day.
The model kitchen will have win
dows facing both north and south. Thii
makes for comfort in summer, and ad
mlts the late afternoon sun, which con
siderably lengthens the hours of day
light.

CHAPTER XXI.
A Meeting In the Trenches.

Charlie Brown had gone, and Cap
tain Montague had ordered his men to
place Guy upon heap of straw, where
he must lie until the doctor came. In
Trench 27 an atmosphere of sadness
had succeeded the air of light-hearted
carelessness that Charlie Brown had
found when he arrived there. The
candle still flickered upon the table
round which the poker players had
lately sat. But all thought of that
frivolous game had vanished from
their minds. 1t was not that they had
not already seen many of their men

that he had received his billet, In the

after Charlie Browns departure when
a sergeant appeared, holding prisoner
