LOVE THRIvES ON EUGENlCS
Marriages in Milwaukee Are on the
Increase Despite Law Against
Unfit.

Marriage goes merrlly on in Mllwau-
kee, regardless of the eugenlcs law
says the Sentinel of that city.
Figures in the county clerks office
show an increase in both 1918 and
1916 over 1914 In the number Of IL
censes issued. The eugenics law, In
operation for three years, has had no
effect upon the celebration of the time
honOred nuptials.
II still maintain that the eugenics
law has been of tremendous tenefit to
the people Of the state, declared Mrs.
G. A. Hipke, sponsor for the law. ut
Is asserted that doctors make only su-
perficial tests of men who come to
them for examination before marriage,
but | contend that no conscientious
physician could pass upon case which
might later bring results that would
reflect upon his earlier judgment"
Mrs. Hipke declared that, while she
had no present intention Of agitating
pny change in the law she might con-
slider broadening of the law that
would include the women as well as
the men in the prenuptial examination.

rooms are large, conveniently arranged
and well lighted. The exterior is at
tractive.
This home may not suit you in
every particular, but then you are
reading plans to get ideas and you get
one, or a part Of one, from every plan
you examine, and one day you will
find all of your ideas combined in just
the way you want them combined, and
that will be your house.
All worthy ideals are worth striv-
Ing for, and your ideal Of a home GER
tainly is worth the effort it will cost
you TO secure or produce it.
Why not take this design and exam

should be borne in mind that every
cubic foot Of inclosed space repre-
sents a fraction of the cost. In actual
practice the cost ranges from 10 to
30 cents per cubic foot. If, due I.
careless or impractical arrangement,
the space is not usable it represents a
dead loss, and that fact will become
painfully evident to the owner If ever
the house is placed on the market.
These practical ideas Of value

or in making up tentative plans from
which the final design is to be made.

FIVE-ROOM HOME
WELL ARRANGED
Many Practical Features Are
Combined in This Product OF
Architects Skill.
VERY LITTLE WASTE SPACE
Convenience and Appearance Two
Most Important Features to BE
Considered In Planning the
Home for the Family.

AFR. William A. Radford VIII answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject OF building, for the readers OF this
paper On account Of his wide experience
as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he
is, without doubt; the highest authority
on all these subjects. Address all inquiries
TO William A. Radford, No 1927 Prairie
avenue, Chicago, ILL.,, and only enclose
twO-cent stamp for reply.
II Is your home that is TO be planned
and built. You and the members of
your family will be the first to occupy
IL and 1t may be handed down to your
children TO the fourth and fifth gem
GRAFTON.
On the other hand, a change in en-
ployment or circumstances may make
1t advisable for you TO sell.
SO, when building or looking over
plans, keep those two thoughts in mind,
for they are the factors by which the
worth Of your investment is governed
what a beautiful home I" exclaims
the passer-by. A neighbor confirms
that thought, but adds that the inter
Tor is poorly arranged, that the re-
sources Of owner and architect SEEM
ingly were exhausted when the exter-
lOr was planned.
Farther down the street is house
with a dreary and uninviting exterior
appearance which has convenient
and well-appointed interior arrange

1t is entirely practical and should
be the chief ambition of every builder
to combine in every structure these
two elements of real value and desir-
ability.
In the home here illustrated many
practical features are combined. The

lind that Charlotte had no "real So
Ciety,' as she called if, and she began
reform in that direction by secur-
ing for her niece an invitation to the
Purcell party, the host being one of
the millionaire automobile manufac-
turcrS Of the city.
Having introduced her niece to the
hostess, Aunt Maude had met some
old friends and become so engrossed
in conversation that she had for the
time forgotten the girls existence.
Charlotte was just trying to decide
whether she would rudely break
through the circle to her chaperon or
turn and fly when young man who,
she mentally decided, was about as
plain as she was, came up and asked
her to dance They swung out among
the swaying thrOng. Presently another
couple collided with them, and her
partner stepped on her foot. He
bpolOgized most prOfusely, but the re-
mainder of the dance was something
like agony to the girl, though she
would not let him see how much she
was hur.
2 When the music stopped she asked
him if lie would take her to her cunt.
Let me tin0 you another partner
who won't be 50 clumsy as to step on
you" he suggested.

"NOw, 1 am a'raid I've put that foot
out of commission" he said with So
ucltude
"Oh, no, but please take me to my
aunt"
Are you so very anxious to find

But do not wish to keep you from
dancing"
Suppose I want to be kept?"
"Oh, well, that alters the case. Per-
haps l can maRe the punishment fit

Il don't believe you can-but you
might try" he laughed
Charlotte decided he had merry,
wide-awake eyes, and strong, whole
some lines about the mouth when she
met his direct gaze A rather bad
nose and dust-colOred hair Didn't
seem to matter so much now. Besides
he seemed to want her company, and
perhaps he was just as lonely in that
crowd as she WIS. He led the wap to
p wonderful conservatory where the
tail palms met over their hends

why would like to be rich I"
"But there are other reasons?" he
queried.

Effect Of Tides.

For a long time it has been known
that the tides act as brake on the ro-
tating earth and that they tend to
lengthen the day. The effect is, how
ever, so slight that it cannot be meas
ured in any length of time at mans
disposal. Macmillan has made the
necessary computation by the formula
used by engineers. He finds for the
increase of the length of the day one
second in 100000 years.

Few NorweoIans Can Swim.

1t is a curious fact, says the Ian
Get, considering the geography of the
country, that the proportion of Nor
wegians who can swim is small, the
number of deaths in Norway from
drowning being about 600 a year. Only
about - per cent of all the school
children between the ages Of twelve
and fifteen have learned to swim. Nor
wegian sailors say the extreme cold-
ness of the waters that lave their
shores accounts for this.
