Ordinarily, the square type of house
with its plain hip roof is rather com
monplace in its appearance, even
though it is hardly ever beaten in the
matter OF space economy and convent
ence of arrangement. Taken as
g whole, the square type of house is a
very sensible class of building for the
average man, because it represents
very nearly maximum usefulness for
money invested. !.
The question arises "Can the square
type house be treated in such a manner
as to easily give it a distinctive APP
pearance without excessive cost?" The
question is most easily answered by
reference to the several methods which
may be followed in finishing the walls
of the building. This subject lovers a
wide variety of effects which may be

GARFIELD FIXES COAL PRICES

Garfield announced regulations, effec-

The fuel administration has fixed,
In the conclusions arrived at, not the
specific price which the retail dealer
will be allowed to charge the con
sumner, but the gross margin which
the retail dealer with be allowed to add
to the average wholesale cost Of his
coal In making retail prices.
The retail dealer will be allowed to
sell coal to the at a price
representing an advance of not more
than 80 per cent over She retail gross
margin. Of 1915. In no case, however.
IL the gross margin FROM % on to

bought q particular kind Of coal In
1915 at an average Of 81 q ton and
sold 1t to the. consumer at s. a ton,
his gross margin was 81. DIR. Garfield
now allows him to add so per rent to
this amount, making his gross margin

obtained in adjusting the color, texture
and pattern of the wall surface to
bring out just the character desired.
There is still the possibility of vary
ing slightly from the plain rectangular
outline of plan, such that the room ar
rangement Is not disturbed, yet the APP
pearance is altered to conform with
the owners ideas. This method is
usually more costly than the average
man is DESTROYS of using simply as a
means of improving the appearance.
However, a few simple changes in the
plan outline may often result in the
production Of greatly increased COM
fort in certain of the rooms aud the
cost Is then justified.
AS an example, the perspective view
accompanying shows a house of the
square type which has been treated In
a novel way, both as regards wall fin
ishing materials and also as regards
plan outline. The plan shows that the
rear corners of the building have been
built, from foundation to roof, as
square projections. The plan indicates

bedrooms on the second floor are gen-

the bedroom furniture will fit in to the
best advantage. Each bedroom has a
closet and there are two small closets

stairs across the house and back to the

NEW THEORY REGARDING sos
GOEBEL ASSASSINATION

Frankfort. KY, Dec. S0.--Eddie
Rider. negro woman of Atchison
Taylor county, is about the fiftieth
person who has written to Frankfort
with a theory of the Goebel assassis
nation, differing from that brought
cut in the criminal prosecutions. She
claims to have inspiration for her
theory, and, inclosing a postcard
picture of the old State House, elab-
orately equipped with threads, one
running from the window from
which Goebel was reputed to have
been shot, and another running from
Fort Hill through the tree tops to
the spot. where the inspiration err
roneously indicated to her Goebel
had fallen, she wrote local photo
grapher, asking him to have photo
graphs made in accordance with her
markings. She evidently intends to
prove, as she stated, that 'the ball
did not come from the window. The
man that killed Goebel was on the
mountain. I claim~that God reveS|'

REPLY TO WILSON
CLOSES PEACE DOOR
President and Senators Discuss Sit
uation-Berlin Sees Refusal.

Washington, Jan. President
Wilson late today went to the Capt.
tol and spent an hour discussing the
country's foreign affairs with Sena-
tor Stone, chairman of the Foreign
Relations Committee. Their talk
covered a wide range, but it Is un-
derstood that much of the time was
devoted to the situation growing
out of the unfavorable Entente reply
to the peace proposals of the Gem
trail Powers, which the President
had been studying during the day.
Aside from transmitting the En-
tente note to Germany and her al
lies, the United States will take no
further formal action in the peace
movement at least until the En-
tente Governments have replied to
the communication of President Will
son, addressed to them. If the note
TO the Teutonic nations had been for
warded tonight the State Department
lid not disclose the fact, although
it has been officially stated that it
would be dispatched as soon as
checking for errors in cable trans
mission could be completed.
Cable reports from Paris an
nouncing that the Entente answer
to President Wilson has been pre-
pared and would be the same in eff
feet as that to the belligerents did
not increase hope here FOR favora-
J bic outcome of the negotiations. i
is known that the German Embassy
believes that unless the note to
President Wilson opens up the door
for a further advance by its Govern
ment. the war win go on anothel
year at least.

Churchmen from all parts of the

discussed means of backing up Pres

Chairman of the Commission on In

Council, said afterward that 'impor-
tant results might be looked for as
result of the meeting. ...

to in favoring the claims of one or
the other of the belligerents.

san basis into the pulpit is traves-
ty on Christianity. Ministers have
no right to infIame one people
against another, and it was a sad
thought that the Christmas season
of peace and good will should have
been used by certain Christian min
insters to air from their pulpits par

the belief of Louisville bankers.

about 81 years old. He comes from
a family of bankers. He was grad
uated from the University of Vir-
rinia five or six years ago, and now
is secretary of the Potter-Matlock
Trust Company, which deals extern
sively in real estate. He himself
has specialized in real estate bank
ing. 1t is said he would bring to the
office an experience exceeded by nc
