WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.- Full details of the recent proposal to the Brazilian parliament by the Brazilian Society of International Law, for the formation of league of neutrals to resist trade restrictions and other en- croachments by belligerents. were made public today through the Off, cial Gazette of the Brazilian parlia- ment.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-Mem- bers of the house of representative in the newly elected Fifty-sixth congress face one of the most uncertain organ ization situations in the history of the government.
 With a few districts still in doubt, the Republicans appear to have plu- rality of four or five members and a possible majority of two or three, when it is figured out that an inde- pendent elected in Massachusetts and a Progressive elected in Minnesota probably will vote with them for or ganization purposes. Independence of action has characterized number of the reelected members on the Re publican side, however, and their atti- tude toward Democratic legislation in the last few years has given Demo- cratic leaders cause for hope that some of them might carry their inde- pendence into the organization of the next house

How It Would Be Met.

Violations of these rights would be met under the plan, first by the with drawal by the neutral league of the privilege of friendly treatment for the offending nation, including the trade rights. Tn case a consular or diplo- matic official should be concerned, his credentials would be handed him at once. IT this proved unavailing, hos .ilities might follow.
 The report, while directed at all belligerents. IS more concerned with British trade violations. The efforts of the United States are recognized, but are declared ineffective. The all lied blockade is particularly criticized. A case is cited in which a Brazilian vessel from the United States to Bra zil is alleged to have been seized. talk cn into Martinique and forced to sur render some of its merchandise bound to Brazil

No Extra Session Likely.

While there might be few changes when the official returns are counted, the chances are that these would not materially alter the general result. In view of that, Democratic leaders re- gard 1t improbable that President Wilson will call an extra session of the new congress next Spring. Then the organization fight would not come until the regular session, December, 1917.
 As matters stand, the candidate of the Republicans for speaker will be James R. Mann, the present minority leader, and Speaker Clark generally is regarded as the Democratic choice to succeed himself Already, how ever there are rumblings of uncer- tainties because of the close political division. On the Republican side, there are reports of disaffections against the minority leader. Conse- quently, there is gossip among some Republicans regarding the advisability Of naming another man as candidate for speaker.
 Clark May Be Minority Leader.
 There are certain to be some inter esting and lively party conferences on both sides before any organization tickets are finally launched. As the Democrats apparently will be in the minority, some of the friends of Champ Clark are not certain that he will be a candidate to succeed him self. Unless he can be elected speak CT, they prefer that he abandon that race and become a candidate for mi nority leader, the post he held for

so that the two rooms may be made
into one by opening both doors clear
back.
Fol this reason the buffet sideboard
is built against the back of the dining
room to avoid any unnecessary OBJ
%struction in the main part of the room.
The living room and dining room are
both made especially light and airy
by two triple windows and three sin
gle windows. The present fashion is
to have plenty of light in the living
rooms, and 1t Is a good fashion that
should remain in vogue for the next
thousand years. The history of house

An interesting feature of this house
is the manner in which the stairway

that is used in a great many modern

And, a girlish volcano of irrepressi-
bic emotion, Eugene Ray, bursting in
to tears, dashed from the spot.
Two days later Walter returned to
college. He did not forget his bright,
volatile friend, but he never let her
know that when they met a year later.
He was the young gentleman quite and
she in long dresses. They were
courteous, even friendly, but many a
time that stirring garden episode re-

studied this handsome, self-possessed
young man and wondered why she felt
that there was a vague barrier be
tween them.
Then there was another year during
which they did not meet. Judge Ray
wondered why his daughter exhibited
no marked preference for any especial
Il of her numerous suitors. Walter
kept away from the feminine element.
He told himself that his professional
career was responsible for this, which
was partly true. Walter had worked
hard and had started in at the law in
a good way and was winning golden
opinions professionally. There was
always, however, a lingering memory
Of sunny boyhood's days, and amid the
retrospection he could not Danish a

The Rays resided in a county zeal
in the far Southwest. Judge Ray con-
trolled that judicial circuit and Walter
had settled down to practice at Wads-
worth, a typical border town. The
country about there had been settled
by squatters and land grabbers and
titles were in disorder. Walter found
a large clientele engaged in a battle
for their rights. Most OF them had a
valid title to the land they claimed. In
securing evidence of their ownership,
Walter had to visit some of the widest
parts of the district. Here a desperate
and dangerous clique held control, re-
senting the intrusion of strangers, but
the clients of Walter protected him by
furnishing him with a secret sign

though the two small linen closet doors
open into the hallway.
The attic is of use only for storage
purposes and for the drying of clothes
on stormy ~washdays. For this reason
there is a sensible stairway leading up
to the attic and a door at the foot
which closes it off from the rest of the
house.
1t is necessary to have a good wide
lot o a house built after this design
to show it to advantage. On general
principles a full tw%o-story square
house may be put on a smaller lot than
a wide spreading or squatty building,
but any good dwelling deserves room
enough to look right. When buying a
lot for a home CT planning a house for
a lot already purchased it is well to
keep in mind that any house looks best
when it fits the lot.
The lawn around a good full two
story house requires different treat
ment from a low dwelling with an
overhanSing roof. Shrubbery and vines
are needed for the proper finish of any
dwelling, and room for these should be
provided for when the plans are being

The extension also contains windows

ana without any useless corners. Such
