Now, Senator Stone has been known

many years, as Gum Shoe Bill. He leap

when Kahn Read the Declaration.
Congressman Julius Kahn, of Califor-
mia. was picked to read the Declaration
of Independence, at the Fourth of July
celebration at the San Francisco fair
There was a big crowd and a good deal
OF confusion, and Notwithstanding
Kahn's excellent enunciation, many
could hear only snatches of what he
read. One listener turned to a companion
and said in a hurt tone:
What's Kahn mean by getting OF all
that reactionary stuff?"
IT can hear only part of his speech. -
replied the other, "but he seems to be
bawling out the English, too. I reckon
he must be pro-German."

Just because they look so much alike

Phelan are to be seen in each other s
company a great deal.
O'Gorman has a large family; Phelan
has none. Phelan is bachelor, but is
also a philanthropist. and spends almost
as much money as II he were married.
Nobody knows how many millions he is

A Loyal Democrat
Senator John w. Kern, of Indiana,
has an assistant, one Jerry Foley, for
years a prominent Democratic worker
in Indianapolis politics. AS far back
as Jerry's family tree can be traced,
his folks have all been Democrats.
Anything one may say rejecting in
the slightest degree upon the Demo-
cratic party is regarded by Jerry as a
personal affront. On his way to In
dianapolis awhile ago Jerry sat in a
Pullman smoking compartment listen
ing to the observations of a sad-eyed
stranger who complained that his bus
mess was dull. Jerry did not wish to
nip into the conversation, but the
stranger talked as II the Democratic
administration was responsible for his
business troubles, and, moreover, he
kept glaring at Jerry as if he were

So in a casual, polite tone, Jerry
inquired of the stranger what his line

learned that no band could take part
except In regular band uniform. The
Marion band simply had to have uni

The leading citizen could not resist
such confidence of victory and put up
the money.
When the contest was over, the
members of the Marion band returned
home rather than stay to hear the
news that they were defeated-all ex-
cept Warren Harding. His belief that
they would take first prize remained
unshaken. And sure enough his band

FOREST DESTROYED BY FIRE
Pride of Late King George of Greece
Reduced to. Ashes-PIayed Large
Part in History.


The wonderful forest of Tatoi, the
pride Of the late King George of
Greece, was destroyed when fire re-
duced to ashes the summer residence
Of his son, King Constantine. The
tens of thousands of dollars spent in
cultivating a flourishing pine wood, as
an example of what might be done
with forestry in barren Attica, have
been burned up as completely as if the
banknotes themselves had been thrown
in the fire.
Tatoi played a large part in the his
tory of Greece. Here the Spartans
established themselves in 413 B. G. to
cut off the supply of grain and food
stuffs bound into Athens from Eubea,
with the purpose of starving out the
Athenian population. And in 4O4 B. g.,
while Lysander blockaded Athens and
the Piraeus by sea, the Spartans de-
scended from the vicinity of Tatoi, at
tackled and forced the capitulation of
Athens, ending the Peloponnesian war.
The burnt forest, laboriOusly planted
and protected, was considered to be a
memorial to the past greatness of
Greece.

Floor Plan.

then, for the architect to find the prop
er combination of all the possibilities
which exist, in order to match the pic
tllre formed as an image in the mind
of the home-builder.
Ore Of the styles which have been
established in bungalow design, and
one which makes strong appeal to
great many people, is the rustic type.
This type embodies the infusion of the
architecture of nature into the archi-
lecture of man. It implies the use OF
some natural building material applied
in such way that the suggestion of
the big out-of-dOOrs surrounds the
home. The purpose is absolutely de-
feated if such a house is built on
narrow lot. A wide lot upon which
sufficient time and effort have been
spent to adapt it to the house is neces-
sary for the full realization of the adj
vantages of this design. Shrubs, vines,
trees and flower beds must be placed
with care and selected with pur-
pose to harmonic with the color
scheme of the bungalow. The rustic
bungalow is seen in it's most apprO-
pirate frame when it is placed on a
small country estate where the natural
growth of trees may be taken advan-
tage of in laying out the lawn.

instrument Placed Many Feet From
the Source Will Do the Work
Accurately.

The latest development in heat
measuring is an optical instrument,
which, while it is placed in operation
many feet from the heat source, will
measure the temperature with fine
degree of accuracy, says the Popular
Science Monthly. 1t measures heat at
temperatures between 1900 and 1900
degrees f.
1t js based upon the simple physical
law that the intensity of light emit
ted by a heated body is directly pro-
portional to it's temperature. The op-
teal pyrometer has two semicircular
fields of vision, one illuminated by a
small electric lamp, the other by the
object toy be observed. The intensity
Of the field Illuminated by the lamp is
adjusted by turning the eyepiece until
the line separating the two fields is
eliminated, when the corresponding
temperature is read directly from the
dial.
Any workman of ordinary intelli-
gence can read it within ten degrees,
and it never comes in contact with the
heated object.

A double-acting door leads to the
kitchen. This room is square, well
lighted and pleasant. 1t is equipped
with cupboards and sink; the rear

materially in performing the tasks as

A hall extends back from the living

A closet, the pantry, the cellar stairs,
the bathroom, two bedrooms and the
sleeping porch all may be entered from
this hall. The sleeping porch is a
feature in home construction which is
becoming more popular all the time.
Many people who live in older houses
feel that the sleeping porch is one OF
the modern fads which will soon disap-
pear, but anyone who has lived in a
house which includes a sleeping porch

air is an absolute necessity to rest
full slumber. There are seven large
windows in the sleeping porch at the
rear Of this rustic bungalow, and this
assures a condition as near the limit
Of real out-of-doors as it is necessary
to come.
The interior is entirely in keeping
with modern ideas in home design.
Convenience and comfort have, been
the strong outstanding factors in the
design, and worked in with these is
the effort to make this house as health
full home as it is possible to pro-
vide, from the standpoint of the ar
chitect. At the same time lucky
combination of details has rendered it
very attractive from an artistic stand
point.

How to Keep Warm in Cold Bed.

Many people have to sleep in cold
rooms in winter, and some, not being
able to warm up readily after entering
the bed, lie awake long time.
To warm up quickly in cold bed lie
upon the back, with the bedclothes
well tucked in about the neck and
shoulders, draw up and extend one
foot, then the other, alternately, draw
Ing the foot up as near the trunk as
POSSIBLE, and then extending it as far
as possible. Keep this up for few
moments; and if done with vigor, by
the time one has drawn up each leg
and Strengthened it out, say, 100 times,
one will be in glow, and will usually
feel sleepy, the blood having been
drawn away from the brain to the
muscles and skin. Feeble patients can
do few strokes, and rest a moment
or so, and then begin again.

GAVE AUDIENCE GOOD LAUGH
Humorous Situation When Man Once
Imprisoned With Michael Davitt
Called Him by Number.

The. death of James Collins, the mod
ern historian of Dublin, reminds one
that Mr.. Collins was engaged in COM
pleting a work of his friend, the late
Michael Davitt, Irish nationalist and
labor leader, once mill lad in Hasllng-
den. One of Davitt's stories intended
for inclusion is the following.
The Irish Tribune" as Davitt was
called, having served many years in
Chatham and other prisons as po-
litical prisoner, had been a free man
some six months. when he was ad-
dressing a huge meeting in the Ro-
tunda, Dublin.
Davitt had worked his audience up
to a tense pitch of enthusiasm and con-
Guided a great speech amid perfect
storm of applause.
When he had resumed his seat and
the applause was subsiding voice
from the gallery cried out:
Bravo, x Twenty-nine
Davitt started and, looking up, be-
held the grinning face Of a well-known
craftsman" whom he had left finish
ing a five years term in Chatham
prison, and who had hailed Davitt by
his prison number.
1t did not take an Irish audience
long to scent out the humor of the stu
alton and the Rotunda rang with peals
of laughter, in which both ''her ma
jesty's ex-guests" heartily joined.

lustration is an attractive example OF
the rustic type. The architect had
found happy combination of details
in this design and the result is shown
in both the exterior appearance and in
the arrangement of rooms. Large cob
blestone pillars give the front of the
house unique appearance. The CHM
ney carries out the idea very effec-
lively. The low roof is a combined
hip and gable type with exposed sup
ports, well adapted to this type of
house. The pergola effect of the porch,
with the pleasing decorative ends of
the timbers carried through the de-
the short column at the corner of the
house, adds great deal to the general
attractiveness of the little home. The
gable is decorated with wide boards
or siding strips which have decora-
tive design cut in each board. Many
in way which gives this little rustic
bungalow an appearance rather diff
ferent from the ordinary.
u
In the room arrangement and atten-
ton to interior details the same thor
oughness has been observed. The liv-
ing room is entered from the front
porch. This room has large fireplace,
1anked with bookcases, built along
the side wall. The fireplace may be
made in any way which is suited to
the style of finish that is decided upon
for this room. A very striking and
artistic effect may be secured by build
ing the fireplace of cobblestones such
as are used in the construction Of the
exterior chimney and pillars at the
front of the house.. The combination
Of the living room with the little den
is very attractive arrangement. II
the den is to be used at times as a
spare bedroom, sliding door may be
built between it and the living room.
1t will, of course, be more attractive
with just cased opening between the
two rooms. The many windows in
this little nook will make it like a
sun parlor and consequently a part Of
the house which will, perhaps, be used
more than any other.
The dining room is front room
open to the living room. The buffet
is built against the wall opposite the

Indiana Man Fond of Music.

A man in Indiana has equipped his
house with an apparatus of his own
device, which enables him to have
music in any room at any time by
merely pressing button. A number
of monograph records are arranged
upon a table in the basement in such
a way that they can be moved by an
electric motor under the table. A
large horn is connected with the re-
producing mechanism, and this horn
sends the music into air passages
which are provided for every room in
the house. These passages can be
closed automatically in any room in
which the music is not desired, but If
left open the entire house is flooded
with melody.

Aeroplane Industry.

The remarkable growth Of the aero
plane industry of the United States is
indicated by the exports of 1913 aero
planes for 1915, against 40 in 1914 and
10 in 1918. The value Of the 1915 ex-
ports was $2,96O,814, or an average of
So, 439 a machine, against $6,337 in
1914 and $3,227 in 1913. The exports
of aeroplane parts were also very
large, amounting to $2,457, 1872, as COM
pared with only $145,997 in 1914 and
$4,000 in 1913. Imports Of aeroplanes
into the United States decreased from
