mer is built into the roof at the front in order to break up the monotony of the shingled surface and furnish means of lighting the attic.
 The chimney is carried well up above the top of the roof, both for the in- creased draft which is obtained in this way and for the effect in appearance which it produces. All double-hung windows have the upper sash divided to take small panes of glass, and the fixed-sash windows are built with the entire sash divided in this way. When the dark finish is used the effect pro- duced by this construction is marked.

The living room is entered from this hall and the fire place is directly opposite, with small window on either side. The fireplace is usually constructed of ornamental face brick of rough texture.
 The dining room is entered through the living room. This room is one of the pleasant features of the house. A bay is hnilt into the wall on the side of the house and three large windows are placed in it. In the back wall two small windows are set, one on either side of the buffet. The room is very well lighted and represents an excellent method of handling dining room design. The kitchen is handily arranged, with sink and cupboards along the inside wall. A grade door entry near the kitchen is built large enough to furnish space for refrige. rator

There. is less cholera in Arkansas today and the hogs of the state are in better health than ever before at this season of the year, according to Dr. R. M. Cow, state veterinarian. This fact coupled with great demand tor feeders right now is very encouraging to those who are interested in the swine industry" said pr. Cow.

Everyone is aware of the possibility of greatly improving houses by the addition of a neat brick porch. There is, perhaps, no better method of alter ing a house to improve it's appearance than that of adding a brick porch. AS a rule brick porch may be built on any house without involving a great deal of expense other than that of building the porch itself. 1t is not necessary to reconstruct a part of the house in order to make the new porch look right The increased value given the property by the greatly inn proved appearance of the house is usu- ally sufficient to warrant the expense incurred in the construction of the brick porch.
 Many people favor the brick-porch idea to the extent that when the de- sign for their new house is drawn up a brick porch is included as one of the most important features of exte- rior finish. There are a great many possibilities in face brick, from a dec oratiye standpoint. The advancement which has been made during recent years in the brick industry is interest ing. The use of brick as a building material dates back beyond the oldest pyramid. The manufacture of brick may be traced down through the ages with only one serious break-immedi- ately after the fall of the Roman em- pire-when the brick which had al- ready been made were reused for a

produced.
 The development which is most in- teresting to the average man is that which affects the appearance of the brick. Although some of the speci- mems of the earliest patchwork show that processes were known at that time whereby the faces of the brick could be decorated in beautiful colors, the practice seems to have fallen into disuse as time passed on, for only a few decades ago the brick used in com mon construction was anything other than beautiful.

BALL PLAYERS FACE
 BIG CUT IN SALARIES
Important Question Will Come Up Be- fore National Maenates This Month

The most important question over which the National league magnates will ponder when they meet in New York early this month will be the players salaries. That a big cut is coming in the pay envelopes of the high priced players is admitted by all the club owners, and when the next baseball season comes around the market for baseball talent will ne nor nal again and all the high salaries brought about by the Federal league invasion will have disappeared.
 Most of the contracts, which were for terms of two or three years, were practically forced upon the club own CTS blythe players a few seasons ago, expired with the end of the last sea- son, and new contracts will De signed before the season opens in April Many Of the club owners faced a sit uation during .he Federal league reign which gave. tf:em no other alternative than to concede to the players de- mands or lose their services. Even to players who did not demand more money the club owners gave increased salaries, fearing that they would jump.
 The baseball folks still haze losses to make up which date back to the Federal league war. While baseball came back to its own to a certain ex- tent last season, there are still many old scores to settle. The final money settlement wit htho Federal league has not yet been made by organized baseball, and 1t is going to cost large sufn. The National and American leagues have hesitated in t,:eir Eettlc- ment on account of the suit brought against them hy the Baltiinore Federal league club, As all this money will have to come from the packets of the club owners, they are all determined to start a Fetrenehment policy aa soon as possible and the cut In salaries win be the first move in this direction. For financial reasons aiso 1t is not likely that the National leas,ie rule limiting changed,

CADETS DESERVE HIGH
 FOOTBALL RATING
Arny's Eleven Is Entitled to Ranking
 Among the Great Teams.

With a record of nine victories and nothing even resembling setback the Army is entitled to ranking season and West Point football his tory. It scored 2a5 points and yield ed 36. The number of points taIlied the record of the 1913 team, which gathered 2S8 points in nine games.
 The defensive record is not so good, for many Army teams have gone through the season with far smaller totals for the opposttion- The team for 1t gave the others fellows a total of only Il potnts-2 to Bucknell. to Colgate and to the Navy. That year the cadets whipped Yaia by 6 to 0. but lost to the 1n1dshipmsn. to
 With s1l due respect to the prowess of the Army eleven of 1916. it is hard to see where 1t deserves to be rated with Brown .Yala, Colgate and Pittsburgh. There are not enough first class teams among the Army list of victims. This Is not entirely the fault of the Army.
 Unable to charge any admission fee to its games and isolated from the treat mass of football followers, the cadets have no financial resources. The big teams-Yale, Harvard and the rest which once played the Army every year-found they could do far better in a financial way at, their own fields. Football is not being played entirely for sports sake; the guar antee's the thing.
 Thus handicapped the Army must fall back on smaller colleges, which deem 1t an honor to be given a place on the West Point schedule. It is understood that Notre Dame is abIe to come east every autumn only through the financial help of the alumni.
 Some day the government will build a stadium at the Point and special trains and boats will bring an army of football followers to see the cadets battle with major elevens. Un- til then the Army's claim to suprem- ncy will probably have to remain in abeyance.
