SHOWING CHARACTER IN HOME
Builder Should Express His Own Ma
ture And Not Follow Reigning
Style In Architecture.

The essential In the art of home
building Is the ability to suit your
own taste-to express your own ma
ture. Your taste may not at all coin
eide with that of your neighbor, but
that is not important. There are as
many individual expressions of the art
that Is within one as there are leaves
on a tree and there is no good reason
why the expression of the individual
should not continue In the home itself.
For peoples characters do show in
their homes-in the architecture of the
dwelling, the decorations within, the
selection of the furniture, even In the
pictures and the way they are hung.
To persons who are not especially OBJ
servant this fact is as plain as the fact
that one can always detect the pres
ence of feminine fingers In the ar
rangement of the bric-a-brac the fiow-
ers or vase on the stand or the books
and magazines on the library table.
The thing Is so paipably human that
1t is almost impossible not to recOg.

1t may never have occurred to you
how bound down most of us are by
conventions that someone else estab-
lished without our knowledge or sane
ton and which may or may not repre-
sent our ideals. And still we follow
them blindly. But 1t Is sorry fact
that most people don't build their
houses or their homes to fit their ma
lures. Rather do they try to make
their natures fit into the home which
they pay numerous other persons to
build for them.
They allow themselves to be made
slaves Of convention, style or fad, ard
their home is no more like them--no
more the expression of their lives or
natures-than an automobile is like
fiat-bottom boat. They go to the near
est architect, who tells them what the
reigning style happens to be at the mo-
ment, as If he were planning to fit
them all with the latest Paris fashions
In dress or headgear.

House With Spirit of Home-

Rich or poor, we are all tempted, in
varying degrees, to build bigger houses
than our personalities call for. One
who is building new house can hard
ly do better than follow that excellent
motto Of the Greeks, mot too much"
Is not the first principle of house build
ing to make something which shall de-
pend for Its effect, not upon size and
display, but upon its quiet adaptation
to the spirit of those who abide in 1t (;
something the value of which no one
shall be able to measure in dollars
and cents, something that is ones own,
ones home?

CITY PLANNING IDEA GROWS
Phase Of Community Activity Once
Regarded as Visionary Has TAX
en- Hold on Popular Interest.

City planning, which may once have
been regarded as the peculiar project
of meddlesome theorists, has taken a
new hold on popular interest In the
United States. New York city sup
plies one notable example of planning
activity. An examination of the causes
underlying disastrous slumps In prop
erty values In what was formerly a
congested district In the lower part of
Manhattan Island showed that the dis
trict had been permitted to grow In
haphazard fashion without any fore
thought of the inevitable growth of q
business section farther uptown. New
York business men saw too late that
such condition could have been pre-
vented, and they asked for and OBJ
tained planning commission.
Interest In city planning has been
awakened in Indiana. Fort Wayne Ia
the first city in the state to announce
preparations for planning exhibi-
ton, although the chamber of COM
merce of indianapolis and several 9TH
er cities have been considering local
exhibitions as the first step in a cam
paign to get law authorizing planning
commissions. The material and scope
of these exhibitions can be adjusted to
local needs, but the purpose of all of
them is to visualize city planning as
1t is proceeding in other places, and to
show to the uniformed or skeptical
citizen that 1t has an intensely prac.
teal value.-IndianapOli Star.

CITY to sunnlx Garden Plots.

Birmingham, Ala, is again going In
for the city beautiful contest. An an
nouncement has been made from the
city hall that If anyone wants to plant
something on a vacant lot and has no
lot, the city will "dig one up" In 9TH
er words, the municipal authorities
are keeping books and seeing that no
one man has so much property that
he cannot beautify 1t, for, If 1t is found
that he has, the city will get some
one else to beautify 1t.

DETENTION CAMPS

Wholesale Arrest of Unnatural ized Germans May Follow
 Declaration of War

WASHINGTON, April 3.-Arrange- ments have been made for the estab- lishment of detention camps and for the wholesale arrest of unnaturalized and suspected Germans in the event If serious internal disturbances fol- lowing war
 Secrecy. as would be expected, sur rounds both these movements. It is known from authorative sources, how ever. that the plans for the creation of immense detention camps are com- plete. These camps will probably be at some distance from either coast.
 That A. Bruce Bielaski, chief of the Bureau of investigation of the Depart ment of Justice, and William J. Finn, chief Of the Secret Service of the Treasury Department, have had their special agents and secret service op- eratives for months following every hint of pro-Germanism or German ac- tivity, is also a known factor.
 These intelligence branches of the federal government mastering about a thousand men, have indexed and ready for instant use the names of many thousands of unnaturalized Germans and German sympathizers. No inti- nation of the magnitude of their un- teasing activity during the past few months will be possible unless state of war actually exists.
 Several government employees have already been removed as a result of evidence offered by government agents that they were involved in German propaganda or were German sympa- thizers to a degree that were it neces- sary might make them criminally lia- bic.
 Some of these employees are or have Teen for years in places of trust. Some even occupy high positions in bureaus handling matters that would be of un- told value to a country at war with the United States. Surveillance is be i ing maintained over all employees sus pected of having pro-German sympa thies. With the outbreak of actual war, if it comes, there will be whole sale clearing of the departments oi suspects.
 The quest will not be confined tc government employees, but will take place among civilians in every city and section of the country. In the event of serious internal disturbances prominent business men, it is said, vii be placed under detention in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, New Or leans, Washington, San Francisco, St Louis, Seattle and other of the larger cities.
 The detention camps will probably be of the cantonment type. An order for approximately half a million dol lars worth of lumber recently placed by the War Department in the middle West is believed in some circles here to have been purchased for the cree ion of the initial camp or camps.
