Plenty OF storage space is provided in
this plan in the attic, This extensive
space is reached by stairs through the

in the attic there are plenty of closets,
including one in each bedroom, one in

and one in the reception hall
The compact kitchen is of the type
that is SO popular among housewives
everyone has heard people remark
about the wonderful large kitchen in
some house. If they had to work in
that wonderful large kitchen for a
while they would stop calling it won
derfui, but they would shorten its
name down to just large kitchen. The
person who works in the kitchen has
to move around good deal and if this
room is too big the walking that has
TO be done in preparing a meal is very
firing. What is the use, then, of vast
ing space that will be valuable in
some other room? In planning the
house figure on small, compact, and
well-arranged kitchen and you will
never regret it.

eminent only in the state of OaXaca,
Venustiano CarranZa today faces a
gigantic problem in the resuscitation
of War-torn Mexico. His handicaps, in
the order of their difficulty, may be
summarized as follows:
l. Brigandage in almost every sec
ton of the country; widespread love
OF buccaneering. life, brought about
by the succession of revolutions.
2. Zapata's revolutionary army in
the Montenegrolike state of Morelos.
). The state government of OaXaca,
This government is novelty in Mex
leo, and has maintained order and de-
clared itself neutral toward Villa and
Carranza and other chieftains of war
like proclivity.
4. The question of manhood" i. g.,
the difficulty of finding suitable men
for government positions.
8. An empty national treasury and
Frustrated industries. Typhus.
AS to brigandage, an American
named Simons. who arrived in La
redo, Tex, few days ago from a
point near Mexico City, where he is
engaged in business, brings an inter
esting story. He describes chaotic
conditions prevalent in the country
contiguous to the Mexican capital at
this time where environed by con-
tagious diseases and pestilence ON the
one hand, and by marauding bands of
outlaws and recalcitrant people gen.
orally on the other hand, Gen. Pablo
Gonzales, the Carranza military COM
mander Of Mexico City, is confronted
with an intricate problem
Within radius of 30 miles north
west Of Mexico City the land is
filed with bands of outlaws and
marauding and devastation is keep
ing them busy. Large haciendas,
or ranches, are being raided by these
outlaws, the homes looted and the
people compelled to flee to safety, and
in some instances, the torch applied.
The rowing bands of marauders are
strongly organized and travel in large
force. and whenever Carranzista sol
diers are sent out to attempt to dis
perse them or give battle, the sol
diery Is generally defeated, Only re-
Gently a force of CarranZa men sent
out to a point northwest of Mexico

However, the principal abode Of
lawlessness at this time begins at q
point 35 miles northwest of the Mex
lean capital, says the American, and
ing with brigands. They are neither
Zapatistas nor Villistas, but each
large band has its leader, and with
them the orders Of the leader is law.
Occasionally these men engage the
soldiers of both CarranZa and Ia
pata, but the Zapatistas are thinning
out around Mexico City now and are
taking to the mountainous country to
the southwest of the capital.
Gen. Pablo Gonzales has exerted
his utmost effort to quell the disturb
ances in his district, states the Ameri-
can. but he has an inadequate force
to cope with the situation with which
he is confronted at this time There
is even dissension noticeable among
his men, because of the restrictions
eXacted to contine them to certain
quarters of the city Oh account of The
unwhOlesome health conditions pre-
vailing.

EMPEROR FRANCIS JOSEPH dead.
Archduke Charles Francis, Granddaughter Of
Aged Ruler, Heir toThTeae.

London, Nov. 22.-Empero1
Francis Joseph died last night at
9 o'clock at Schoenbrunn Castle,
/ according to a Reuter- dispatch
from Vienna. by way of Amster-
darn.
/ The first intimation received
here that Emperor Francis Jo-
seph's health was again the SUBJ
lect of solicitation was contained
in dispatch dated November II,
en1anating. from a Vienna news
agency which reported that the
Emperor had been suffering for
some days from a light catarrhal
affection. Subsequent reports
from various sources, more or less
conflicting represented that his
cotd1tlon was becoming worse,
but none of them indicated that
his illness threatened to reach
critical state, and from Vienna
came assurances that he was still
able to give audiences to one or
more ministers daily.
What gave some credence to
the suspicion that his condition
was much graver than the official
bulletins indicated was the re
polt, which still lacks official
confirmation, that it had been
decided to associate the heir to
The throne, Archduke Charles
Francis in the government of the
country and that he was to as
snme the position on December 2,
on the sixty-eighth anniversary
ot the Emperor's ascension to the
throro.
So far as is known here Arch
duke Charles Francis is still at
the front in command of the
army He was born on August
II, 1887. His wife was Princess
Zita of the Bourbon House of
Parma.
