A Standard.

Every factor which could add in
any way to the proper development
of a suburb has been incorporated in
the plan followed at Chevy Chase!
The character of the development is
on the high and firmly established
plane which has made Chevy Chase the
pride of the National Capital. This
standard has carried. the fame of this
section beyond the limits of Washing
ton so that today Chevy Chase ranks
with the best to be found in any city
of the world.
The home-seeker will find on in
veshgation that the problem of owning
his home in Chevy Chase is really much
more simple than he may have imagin-
ed. The proposition involves only a
relatively small cash outlay and rea-
sonable monthly payments. Under this
plan you can have your home in the
most attractive suburb of Washington.
1t will be built according to your own
plans. thus meeting your exact needs.
You can know just what goes into it in
the way of material and workmanship.
A personal inspection will convince
you that there is good basis for every
claim we make for Chevy Chase.
Make that inspection.

Chines SC Proverbs.

Think twice and do not speak at all. Only those become priests who cannot earn a living.
 At 70 d man is a candle in the wind.
 A thousand soldiers are easily ob- tained; one general is hard to find.
 Do not lace your shoes in melon patch.
 Easy to open a shop; hard to keep it open.
 Of all important things the first is not to cheat conscience.
 All pursuits are mean in comparison with learning.
 In a united family happiness springs up of itself.
 He bought a dried fish to spare its life.
 Win your lawsuit, lose your money.
 Better do kindness near home than go far to burn incense.
 If you suspect man, don't employ him; if you employ him, don't suspect him.
 Unskilled fools quarrel with their tools.
 It's little thing to starve to death it's a serious matter to lose one S virtue. World Outlook.

Bridge Building in Russia.

There are unsuspected advantages in living in Russia. "The Russian public knows less of what is going on in its own country than does the outside world, says returned American ob- server. The same authority is of the opinion that "a railway system seems to be the most difficult problem the Russian authorities have to deal with. "
 Not all unwelcome problem, how ever, according to an American who secured contracts to build number of steel bridges for the Trans.Siberian railway.
 This contractor, according to tale that is told, says that after he had given "rakeoffs to a distTacting nun. ber of Russian authorities" he was held up by yet others, to whom he moaned in his extremity: But if meet your demands there won't be enough left for me to build the bridges with

This syndicated paragraph, which is floating through the state press, ex- pounds wholesome truth: "A news paper is in no sense a child of charity. It earns twice over every dollar it re. ceives, and it is second to no enterprise in contributing to the upbuilding of a community. Its patrons reap far more benefits from its pages than its publish. CTS, and ill calling for the support of the community ill which it is published, it asks for no more than in all fairness belongs 10 it, though generally it re. ceives less.''

And then He calls us, one by one. To come and see that blessed Home.

Cooks.

A cook in the kitchen is worth 21 in the employment agency.
 Too many cooks spoil the broths, meats, vegetables and pastry.
 The wages of cooks are death-to in- comes.
 The old d-fashioned cook, the one who used to get up the meals, wait on table, wash the dishes, tend the children and do the family washing, isn't a cook any more; she's retinue of servants.
 A cook refuses to marry beneath her police station.
 Any cook knows her place and she is firmly convinced that It isn't the kitchen. - Hayward Bartlett, in Judge,
