THE WAR ONLY
 HALF OVERSAYS
 CORRESPONDENT
There Can Be No Question Whatever As To Who
 Shall Win.

According to war correspondent just returning from France, says the New York World. the war will end when France and Belgium have been cleared of German troops. For the Allies to make peace under any other conditions he says, would mean the death of English and French nationality
 The correspondent says that the AL lies would continue the offensive along the 2S miles of the Somme front all through the winter every fine day. There can be no question whatever as to who will win, but the war is only about half over.
 The Germans are putting up won- derful fight, but they cannot win. One of the most marked features of the west front is that Germany is totally out of the air You never see a Ger man aeroplane over the Allied troops any more, but the air is filled with British and French airmen as thick as buzzards. There are hundreds and hundreds, possibly thousands, of them in the air every day, and it practically is death for any German airman who ventures against them.
 One of the most marvellous and the perfect esprit de corps of the French. They inspire all their allies. There also is the doggedness of the British. They don't give in; they don't surrender. England now has 2,000,00O men still on her side of the channel being trained. They will not move until they are in the best fight ing trim possible.
 "The statement has been made that Germany can put 1,600000 men on the firing line each year, but this is not true In that 1,60O,000 are counted all men between the ages of IT and. 60, re- gardless of disabilities. When it comes to a showdown the 1,600,000 will Dc LCullu lO DC SlOclbly uCCItdoCu, Dul England has more men than Germany; she can put more men on the battle line than Germany, and can equip them better. Further, Russia can put 20,000,000 men on the battle line if they could be equipped, which up to this date has been impossible. The whole world could not now supply mum itions for such a great number"
 The correspondent characterizes the battle of the Somme as the most mar vellous display of energy the world has ever seen.
 For tweny-eight miles wide and sev- eral miles deep, there is compact mass of heavy artillery, you might say, he explained. The very flashing of the guns can be seen for miles and miles at night. The Somme battlefield is mass of mud, and the stench is something that the mind can hardly imagine You must be there to know. "

welding Compounds.

Welding liquids are not considered
so good as the preparations in the
powder form, with the possible excep-
ton Of the solution of zinc in hydro
chloric acid which is used by timers.
A very good compound may be made
as follows:
To 20 parts of iron filings add 10
parts borax, 1.5 parts sal ammoniac
and one part Of a resinous oil (bal-
sam of copaiba may be used).
The surfaces to be united are to be
powdered with this mixture, then
placed In the fire and heated to cher
ny red. When the composition melts,

WAYS OF SUMMER BoARDERS
They Are Usually Very Witty Persons
Who Make comieal Remarks to
the Farmer.

Summer hoarders are people who
spend several weeks In the country
each summer longing for n trip home.
They are usually very witty persons
and make comical remarks to the farm
er. Aside from the board they pay
him the farmer cleans up n tidy sum
each summer sending the things hks
boarders say to the comic weeklies. A
summer boarder can merely look ut q
10Y and quick as q wink he will say
something funny. The farmer puts
this down in n book he always carries
around with him. In the course of n
couple of weeks he has several pages
Of good jokes to sell at his own rates,
says the Philadelphia Star.
If you board with q farmer this sum-
mer say some funny things to him
about the cows or the pigs. If he
keeps q horse always poke fun at his
horse. He will laugh at the funny
things you say. Then he will go in and
open up a can of fresh country peas
out of his own cellar so that when you
60 back to the city you will miss the
country vegetables. When you leave
be sure and tell him how you enjoyed
the country eating so that he can laugh
some more.

The appearance of q frame house
is largely dependent upon the type
of siding material used and also in the
color and character of it's treatment,
whether paint or stain. Certain Of
the house types commonly used call
for q definite scheme of wall finish,
at least as far as the width of expo

concerned. An example of this Is
found in the Dutch Colonial and other
Colonial types ou which structures
the wide exposure, whether siding
boards or shingles are used, has come
to. be practically universal.
Combinations of the different widths
of exposure, the rough and the smooth
clapboards and shingles finished with
a harmonizing color scheme-all parts
not being of the same color Of ne

using more than two colors on the ex-
terror of the house-have a definite

shelf. The refrigerator is filed from
the outside, a feature which every
housewife will appreciate. The hall,
from which the stair to the second
floor begins, is centrally located and
can be entered directly from the re-
ception hall, dining room or kitchen.
The second floor is arranged so that
three bedrooms are provided, each
having q commodious closet. The
front and side bedrooms have three
windows and the back bedroom has
two, assuring effective ventilation and
lighting.
In order that the greatest good may
be obtained from the large front porch
of this house, 1t would probably be de-
sirabie to build the porch with a
screen Enclosure. So fitted, 1t may cas-
lily be inclosed with storm sash dur
ing the winter months, making the
house easier to heat, especially in case
prevailing winds strike the house on
the porch side. The cost Of this in
stallation is considered by most home
owDers to be fully repaid in the pleas
ure and enjoyment which 1t makes
possible.
The size Of the house is 20 feet by
3S feet, exclusive of the porches. 1t
is desirable that q house Of this type
be given plenty Of room on the lot, IL
1t Is to show up to the best advan-
tage. Because Of the balanced char
acter of the roof, the structure is seen
at its best when viewed from an angle,
watch is, Of course, impossible IL there
are houses built closely In at the sides.
Assuming that a lot having q width Of
Mt least 40 feet Is provided, the house
is sure to attract favorable comment
from p~assers-by.
A Characteristic quality which Is
evident In the house exterior Is the
rustic appearance which is mainly de-
pendent upon the wall finish. 1t is
largely this which lends to the design
its air Of distinction. Rarely is this
element found In q two-story house OF
this architectural type. It is the ele-
ment associated with the bungalow
and the cottage. 1t is the element
which makes the house possess the
inherent qualities of the home and
leaves with even a casual observer
the feeling that within there Is cozi.
