BAD NATIVE GOES BACK TO JAIL TO
 SERVE LONG TIME

DOUGLAS, March 7.-Chas. Mat, thews, native who was released from the Juneau jail only recently. after serving one year for larceny, was before United States CommIs. sioner Henson this morning on the charge of soliciting whlskey at a local saloon from which he was promptly thrown out Matthews ad. mitted the truth of the charge and was sentenced to 25O days in the Federal jail. It was his fourth con. vlction since coming from British Columbia to Alaska. He is but 22 years of age.
 Sam Perez, a Mexican, was up on the charge of assault, his victim being an Indian who had entrusted him with two dollars with which to buy booze. When the Indian wanted either the booze or the money back was when Sam landed on him. He was given an option on paying $50 or going to jail 25 days. Pending a financial deal that will enable him to raise the money, he is in jail.

 Why Raids Were Resumed
 Later they ceased for a time to the displcasura of an element which openly accused Chancellor yon Beth, mann-Hollweg of sheathng his wea, pon in deference to neutral opinion This element was appeased but ,lit tie by Count Zeppeiin's published letter 10 the chancellor wherein the count disavowed the responsibility for the accusation. The raids were resumed with the object of trying up within the islands and eliminat. ing from the somme offensive as large a number of anti.aircraft guns, airplanes, searchlights and men to equip them as possible.
 Aside from this service, which is of considerable military value, the role of the zeppelins in land war. fare is now regarded in expert cir, cles in Germany as decidedly sec. ondary to their great value as scout. ing agents for operations of the fleet.

ZEPPEL.INS AS
 RAIDERS PASS
 FROM VENTURE
Big AirShipS Are to Be ReIegated Wholly as Scout Craft in
 the Future.
DEFENSE IS TOO GREAT

i GENEVA, March G. The Zeppelin campaign against London has been found to be unprofitable. The ceSsa. ton of German air attacks, on the British metropolis, after the latest appearance Of the dirigibles over the city last fall, has been due not to ! fortuitous circumstances, but to the deliberate determination of the Ger. man leaders to abandon these at. tacks, as has long been done in the case of Paris.
 The correspondent who was in Der ! lin. was informed from aptrustwor. thy source a few days after the final London raid of the decision to send no more Zeppelns or sister ships of the Schucttelanz type again to London. Air raids against Eng land, the correspondent was told, would not be abandoned entirely. They were considered to be of great service in holding at home guns, air. planes and men of the British aer. iial defense. which otherwise would be freed from service in France. but in the future the attacks would be directed against the provinces in- stead of London. The next and fin al expedition of the year, on Novem.. Der 27. was directed against the mid land counties, in accordance with this prophecy, and resulted in the loss of two zeppelins.
 Strength of Defense
 Tho predominant reason for tho decision to discontinue attacks on London probably is the increasing strength and efficiency of the air de. lenses of the city. but the effect of the raids on neutral opinion. in view of the then contemplated peace over lures. may also have been a factor
 It may be interesting in this con- nection to record bit of unwritten history of the war. In the early days of the conflict, when the air raids were just beginning, President Will son caused 10 be conveyed to En- peror William and the German gov ernment a personal and unofficial message which, set forth that airshlp and airplane raids upon populous cities were looked upon with disiavor by the American people and contri. | buted largely to stirring up anti German feeling in the United States. i In view of this, the wisdom of their discontinuance was suggested, The message did not fall entirely on deaf ears, but the views of the mili- tary party prevailed and the air at tacks. then the only means of bring ing home the realities of war to the

A small, square house with q cot

distinguished appearance. This il q

arranged, and the rooms are fairly
large. The parlor and dining rooms
are exceptionally good rooms for
dwelling Of these dimensions.
1t is quite the fashion now to make
long living rooms. and there is much
to recommend it. The furniture may
be placed to SO much advantage, and
there Is room to use good, big easy
chairs and couches. According to
old.fashioned plans, room II feet 6
F, inches long would be out OF the ques-
ton in a house of this size. 1t is easy
to make big, light, airy rooms IL you
have money enough to build big
house; but 1t is not easy to get COM
modious and comfortable rooms in a
small house. It takes good deal Of
ingenuity and careful planning to get
six good rooms, in addition to neces-
sary accessories, in house % by 80
feet.
! A feature of this house that will
appeal to the women is the built-in
sideboard, which faces the dining
room, and also faces the kitchen. A
| piece of furniture like this is great
convenience and comfort to house
keeper. Such things were unknown
up to within few years. There are
great many little things to be kept
! In order in the Kitchen, and there are
! some larger things that persistently
get in the way unless you have place
L

The kitchen part Of this house Is a
perfect workshop. 1t is in such easy
communication with the cellar, with
the vestibule, where the Ice box is
kept. and with the pantry, which has
double doors to shut the smell OF
cooking from the dining room. that

just right in every way.

Only one chimney is necessary. but
this should be a good one. 1t should
be built for business, with sufficient
capacity to keep the air moving In the
right direction. Whoever builds this
house will want to put crate In the
cornor Of the parlor some day; then
he or she will appreciate the fore
thought that suggested good CHIN

There is a cement wainscoting in
the kitchen and bathroom, feet 6
inches high. If this is carefully put
in, as 1t should be. 1t Is fully equal
to tile; in fact, IL it is rightly done.
1t is better than tile, because 1t Is
job Of cement work in places like
this; but that Is usually the fault OF
the owner, because he is careless
about the superintendence of the con-
struction. After securing the best
workmen and supplying the best ma
terials, it is necessary to follow up
the details as the building progresses.
1t is one thing to get a good set OF
plans, but 1t is quite another to see
that the building is put up according
to specifications.
One feature in connection with this
house that is about as interesting as
anything else, is the price. Similar
houses have been built for $L400.

have been built under especially ia.

BARRELS EXPLODED BY RAIN
They Were Filled With Lime, and
Waterman Got OF One Just In
Time.

When workmen who are building an
apartment building at Sixty-sixth
street and Park avenue left, they took
ordinary precautions against rain.
They covered tweBty.four barrels of
lime with a sheet of canvas and fast
ened it down with planks. The rain
came and ran through crevices.
Mike Dolan, the Waterman, sat on
one of the barrels in the early morn
ing hours. He felt very warm, and
got off to investigate. The next min.
ute there was a roar. and the barrel
jumped up. The rest of the barrels
jumped up and exploded, and the
wooden containers caught fire.
When the firemen came, all hands
worked with shovels and threw sand
on the lime until it resembled mortar
