It's Like This: Candidate
Sweet Has Been Calling On
the People of His State

Edwin F. Sweet, Democratic candidate
for governor of Michigan, has apparently
seen a great light, since ne resigned his
position as assistant secretary Of com
mercs in Washington and came back 20
Michigan to campaign for election.
At the time Sweet was nominated, the
Times Washington correspondent asked
him for a statement Of his attitude to-
ward statewide prohibition.
Sweet replied that he was strongly IN
clined to favor the present system Of
local option by counties as opposed 70
drying up the entire commonwealth by
constitutional amendment.
And now comes the report, from
authoritative sources, that Sweet will,
within a few days, announce his hearty
support of this same statewide prohi-
bition about which he felt so dubious
while in Washington.
In fact, it is reliably reported that the
Democratic candidate will refuse to make
the campaign unless the party leaders
can be brought to share his view in re-
gard to the desirability of getting behind
the dry movement.
We don't know what caused Sweet s
sudden change Of attitude, but We can
venture good guess.
When Sweet quit his good federal job
he made up his mind to be the next
governor Of Michigan.
Accordingly, like wise politician, he
lost no time in getting back to Michigan
and out among the people, in order TO get
a line on the trend of public sentiment.
And about the first thing ne ascertain
ed was the fact that there is an over
whelming dry sentiment in Michigan this
fall
Sweet considered that the Republican
nominee is a man Of known wet senti-
ments.
Then he did some thinking.
And, unless we miss our guess, II
didn't take him long to revise his view,
on the question of statewide prohibi
ton as opposed to local option
Sweet merely decided to take sea
on the band wagon.

Troubles Never Come sinaIy.

A resident of Boothbay, Me-, was
told by a neighbOr that his sons COW
was out in another pasture, and start
ed TO bring her in. He found a COW
loose and set out in chase.
For an hour or two he chased one
Of the most obstinate and disgusting
animals ever born into the COW breed.
And ut last he caught her and brought
her out to the road and was leading her
triUmphantly home, when he met a
neighbOr who asked him what he was
doing with another neighbor's COW.
And so it proved. For the original
stray COW was still in the wrong pas
ture, but tied securely to a tree. The
other COW had had a perfect right to
it grazing ground.
The eXasDerated gentleman then set
out again and this time found the right
strayed COW anG took her home.
When he arrived at his sons place
with his sons COW he found one of his
own cows in his sons field and eating

kInas Who Relnned Briefly.

SiXty-eight years is a long time to
wear a crown. Many other monarchs
have hardly had time to get comfort
ably settled upon their thrones, be-
fore death or abdication overlook
them.
John l of France has to his
credit a reign of only five days.
For brevity that is hard to match.
Napoleon was emperor the second
time for 100 days, and then started for
st. Helena. Louis XVIII, whom he so
rudely depOsed in March, 1915, had oc-
cupied his throne less than one year.
Francis II ruled but u year, Louis
X two years and Louis VIII three
years.
Russia has also witnessed some
changes in the house of Ro-
manOn. Katharine l was czarina but
two years and Ivan vi for year. Pc
ter II was czar of oil Russias for only
three years.

by the various smaller details OF ex-
terior finish carried through the de-
sign. Because shingles look best for
wall finish when they are stained some
dark tint, the preferable color scheme
for this bungalow would probably be
found in the use OF dark-stained
shingles, gray stucco and pure white
TRIM The moldlng used at the junction
Of the shingles and stucco is carried

and along the top edge Of the flower
box built under the large front window

although very simple. Is effective. The
roof Of low-pltch type, Is sufficiently
elaborate TO harmonic with other
parts Of the design. On the extended
end Of the porch a pergola roof is car

five-room bungalow. A hall through
the center Of the house from the front
door TO the bathroom makes It pos
sible TO enter any room but the pan
try from the outside without going
through other rooms. The basement
and attic are also reached from this
hall
The living room Is n square room,
along the side wall of which brick
fireplace and two bookcases are built.
The cased entrance from the hall Is
near one corner Of the room. This Is
an advantage from the standpoint Of
interior decoration, because the cor
ner entrance does not break up the
wall space where it may be used for
pictures and other purposes. The ar
rangement of furniture in a living |
room opposite the fireplace offers n
large unobstructed space for some /
large pieces of furniture, such as
piano or Il davenport.

from the living room. In this room,

The bungalow has done a great deal
to promote home construction during
recent years in this country. The ap-
peal Of neat little bungalow is strong
to the man who has always wanted n
home Of his own, but who has allowed
himself TO get into the habit of rent
Ing, more for the reason that he has
feared the COST than for any other. A

low type would be built If every man
who has a firm desire for a home

tages which present themselves in fa-
vor of the bungalow. The benefits to
the wife and children are even more
evident than those to the "man of the
house."
In external finish the bungalow
yields to a number Of pleasing effects
which, no doubt, have had considerable
weight in causing this type of house to
come into such popular demand. The
atmosphere of home is very easily
brought into the design, and almost
any of the common building materials
may be used to effectively bring out
some desired detail of finish. For the
man who wishes a thoroughly first
class house, there are any number of
devices which may be used to give
the bungalow distinctive appearance
Of elegance. In fact, the range of pos
sibilities extends from the most sim
pie design to the most elaborate, with

a full measure of return in the way of
good appearance for every dollar in
vested.
The use Of several materials in the
finish of houses has come to be quite
common practice. There is certainly
possibility of sidestepping the mo-
notony of large wall areas by facing
the walls with more than one material.
Both the color and the character of
surface may be varied in this way. and
many pleasing combinations may be
found.
Among the class Of houses which
depend upon the combination of diff
ferent materials for their exterior fin
Ish, the little bungalow shown here
is somewhat different from the Ordi-
nary. The finishing materials used in
this case are shingles and stuccO on
the walls of the house and ornamental
brick and stucco in the chimney. The
method of prOportioning the different
materials over the walls is distinc-
tive. The stucco is applied In a wide
belt around the house in line with the
main floor windows. Beginning at the
top Of this belt and carried down to
the water table, the chimney is finished
with stucco. Above the belt Orna-
mental face brick are used in the chin
ney.
This chief decorative effect. although
very artistic IN itself, Is greatly aided

White Eskimos.

Vilhjalmur Stefansson is having a
difficult time with his blond Eski-
NOS and by this time doubtless
wishes that they were more brunette
and ordinary. They hold up his men
and rob them of everything removable,
and utterly decline to consider the ex-
plorers superior race. Yet when
they are visited by an epidemic of in
fluenZa they attribute their misfor-
tunes to the witchcraft of the
strangers.
Hitherto newly discovered peoples
nave been greatly impressed by the
white skins of the discoveries. The CIV
!lized races of Peru aud Mexico re-
spected the complexion of the Span
iards as much rs they feared their
firearms. a pallid physiognomy is one
of the greatest assets of the white man
who penetratcs to regions where white
skins are unknown.
