Type in Use on Pacific Coast.

Schools similar TO this type are in
use on the Pacific coast, but owing TO
different climatic conditions some di-
Versions from the California principle
are necessary. together with the
changes required by the contemplated
use of this building as community
center.
The extent of the grounds and the
completeness with which 1t is proposed
to develop them, together with the
material departures from the usual
type of eastern school plan. make the
building of especial interest from both
educational and architectural stand
points.
The entire structure. as stated. is OF
the one-story pavilion type with the
exception of the central part, which Is
two stories high. to provide balcony
and two classrooms with north light.
The kindergarten is to adjoin the stage
and may be made a part of 1t when oc-
casion demands for a large perform
ance in the auditorium.
All of the classrooms are to be south
lighted with projecting corridors on
the north. The rooms are to be twenty
two feet wide and graded in length
from twenty eight to thirty-two feet.
Coatroms adjoin each and are to be
separated by a screen reaching to the
.op of the blackboard. Closets occupy
the space not used for fues in the
east walls. Toilets are to be located
in each of the four wings and the
principals and teachers rooms are to
De in the center pavilion.
The heating of the classrooms and
auditorium will be from indirect redia-
ton. with individual fans and fresh
and foul air ducts; the other portions
from direct radiation.
The brick to be used in the construc-
ton of a portion Of the school are to
be made by the workhouse prisoners
at Ossoquan. Just how soon the build
ing of the school will be started is
not known, because of the inability
of contractors to bid for the work
pending the high cost of materials and
the scarcity of labor.

knowledges Services of

CBy Associated Press.)

Washington, Sept. 1.-The opening
OF the next Liberty Loan campaign
has been set tentatively by the
treasury department for Oct. !. Sub
scription books will close Nov. IN
less the program is altered. The
amount, the interest rate, the de-
nominations of the bonds and the
other details will be announced aft
er congress disposes Of the pending
bond bill.
Indications are that the next offer
ing will approximate $4,000, 1000, 900.
Whether 1t will be advertised by the
government through paid newspaper
space is under consideration but
Secretary McAdoo said last night
the cost of such an undertaking
would exceed the appropriation now
available for the purpose. He added
that there would be no action until
more light had been received as to
the cost OF an effective advertising
campaign and until congress had de-
cided what amount will be allowed
for advertising for future issues.
Under the war revenue bill, pass
ed last April 100000 was made
available for expenses of floating
IS, 900, 000,0 900 in bonds and $4,000
100000 in short term certificates of

about half already has been disburs-
ed in connection with the fiotation Of
the 81, 000, 0O0, 900 Liberty bonds first
offered and the certificates Of in
debtedness put out in advance Of the
loan.
In announcing the tentative pro-
gram for the second campaign Mr..
McAdoo appealed to Liberty Loan
committees to perfect their organi-
cations and prepare for the next
campaign by getting in touch with
the various federal reserve banks.

1.-The question of paid advertising
presents a serious problem for the
government. The value of such ad-
vertising cannot be doubted, and II
the operation could be governed by
the same considerations as those
which determine the action Of priv
ate enterprises 1t would be much
simplified. A private enterprise may
advertise in a selected number of
mediums most useful for it's purposes
and may control it's expenditures for
that purpose without any limitation
except is own desires or ability to
pay. If the government engages in
such a campaign it must advertise
in every newspaper and periodical
in America without discrimination,
all must have equal treatment and
should have equal treatment"

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
pIeting work of his friend. the late
Michael Davitt, Irish nationalist and
labor leader, once mill lad in Hasling-
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 q po-
litical prisoner, had been Il free man
some six months, when he was ad-
dressing n huge meeting in the Ro-
tunda, Dublin.
Davitt had worked his audience up
to a tense pitch of enthusiasm and con-
cluded great speech amid perfect
storm of applause.
When he had resumed his seat and
the applause was subsiding Il voice
from the gallery cried out:
Bravo, Y Twenty-nine!"
Davitt started and, looking up, be,
held the grinning face of a well-known
ing Il 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.
iesty's eX-guests" heartily joined.

SAVED BY BUTTER
SEA CAPTAINS WONDERFUL
PRESENCE OF MIND.
Slippery Story Of How He Diseom.
fitted Pirates Who Had Boarded
His Ship With Murder in
Their Sinful Hearts.

Sea captains have many adventures,
capes seldom lose by repetition. Many
years ago pirates cruised up and down
the English channel, to the great peril
of the merchantmen. The story is
told of q Captain Davis, who was
noted for his quick wit as well as for
his skill in navigation, that he was
returning from Ireland with cargo
consisting mainly of butter.
He had not been out very long when
a pirate was seen coming down upon
him. In vain all sails were spread;
every moment brought the pirate
nearer.
The men were at their wits end, but
the captain knew a trick or two. He
ordered his men to take Off their
boots and stockings, and directed that
q score Of butter barrels be brought
Oh deck.
In a few minutes the barrels had
been knocked to pieces, and the but
ter was thickly spread all over the
deck and outside the ship. Not a rope
nor spar that was not slippery.
Even without their boots and stock
ings the sailors could scarcely keep
on their legs.
On came the pirate, not dreaming
how smoothly he was to be received.
Captain Davis assumed an air of sub
mission, and allowed the enemy to
come alongside quietly.
But when they jumped over, fully
armed, with pistol in one hand and
sword in the other they slipped about
and tumbled over one another on the
buttered deck like so many rats.
One fellow shot head-foremost down
into the cabin, where he was imme-
diately set upon by the boy; another
slid across the deck. and shot out into
the sea by an opposite portfolio.
Not one of them could stand on his
feet, and as pirates are generally SUI
perstitious. an idea seized them that
the ship was possessed of the devil.
They hurried back into their own YES
sci. cast loose, and Captain Davis got
safely into port at the expense OF
few pounds of butter.

sleeves are harbingers of new or
der of things in sleeves for the com.
ing spring. Both of them are finished
with small satin-cOvered buttons.
Soutache braid, which has already
had great vogue, decorates the lower
part of the blouse and the peplum with
simple scroll pattern. The braid is
sewed along one edge In the manner
introduced by Paris milliners in the
present season. 1t does not lie flat
to the garment and it makes an alto
gether satisfactory decoration for tail
ored hats as well as other things. The
short sleeves promise long gloves or
some other covering for the forearms
The hat is bordered with fringe Of
ostrich and is untrimmed. 1t might be
embellished with pattern in soutache

Why Living Comes High in Russi;

"a little time ago one of the high
est government offices sent their rep
resentative to Siberia to buy butter
for q hospital" says Petrograd cor
respondent. "The civil servant in
question was lucky enough to buy at
a shilling a pound. which was rather
cheap. but when 1t came to shipping.
he met with q point-blank refusal on
the part of the station master to give
him the half wagon he required. The
excuse was that only q whcle wagon
could be provided. The man had to
find a contractor, who Cor q certain
r-ibe consented to cede him half a
wagon. And then the station master
intervened, and refused to allow a
wagon to be shared by two; he too
had to be bribed.
"As a result, when the butter at last
arrived in Petrograa. the total ex.
penses were IS 71zd a pound. Is 71ad

for each shilling spent on butter"

eyes, and as soon as his whirling wits
settled a little, comprehended what
had happened. II
Half buried in the debris of mini
ature landslide, he sat at the foot of
the bluff. Immediately above his head
a ragged break showed where the sand.
held together solely b. beach grass,
had given way beneath the weight of
the antagonists.
A little distance from him the other
man was picking himself up, apparent
ly unhurt but completely surfeited.
Without delay, with not even SO much
as a glance at Whitaker, he staggered
off for q few PAGES. then settled into
a heavy, numbering trot westward
along the beach. He did not wish the
woman to recognize him; therefore he
was putting himself out of her way.
For she was approaching.
When Whitaker caught sight of her.
she was already close at hand. She
had been running. Now as their
Clances met, hers keenly inquiring of
Whitaker's still bewildered eyes, she
pulled up abruptly and stood astare.
He saw, or fancied. something closely
akin to fright and CONSERVATION in her
look. The flush i'll her cheeks gave
way to swift pallor. The hands
trembled that drew her beach cloak
close about her. She seemed to make
an Intellectual effort TO speak.
On, hi fol trin ,rnt
up 4 keen tWinge in his ankle, how
ever, wrung an involuntary grunt from
him. and with n wry grimace he sank
back.
oh" cried the woman, impulsively.
You're hurt" She advanced a pace,
soGcitous and sympathetic.
"Oh. not much" Whitaker replied
in a tone more of hope than of assur-
ance. He felt tenderly of the injured
member "Only my ankle-twisted it
Il few days ago. and now again. It'll
be all right in a moment or two"
Her gaze Travelled from him to the
edge of the bluff.
"I didn't See--I mean, | heard some
thing, and turned, and saw you trying
to sit up and the other man rising"
Sorry we startled you" Whitaker
mumbled, wondering how the deuce he
was going to get home. His eXamina-
ton of the ankle hadn't proved greatly
encOura ging.
But I-ah-how did it happen?"
"a mere misunderstanding, he said
lightly. 81 mistook the gentleman for
someone ] knew. He resented it, so
we started to scrap like a couple of
Schoolboys. Then / wish to
heaven it had been his leg instead of
mine"
But still I hardly understand . -
"Well, you see, I-ah-I'm visiting
Ember-the cottage next to yours, |
believe. That is, if I'm not mistaken.
you have the Fiske place?
She nodded.
And so, this morning, it struck me
as fine voting idea TO swim over here
