A double-acting door leads to the

rooms which may be used to help very
materially in performing the tasks as

A hall extends back from the living

A closet, the pantry, the cellar stairs,
the bathroom, two bedrooms and the
sleeping porch all may be entered from
this hall. The sleeping porch is
feature in home construction which Is
becoming more popular all the time.
Many people who live in older houses
feel that the sleeping porch Is enc OF

pear, bue anyone who has lived In

in its room arrangement will not con-
slider a house which does not include
one in it's design. 1t cannot be disput-
ed that an abundance of good fresh
air is an absolute necessity to rest
full slumber. There are seven large
windows in the sleeping porch at the

Effective Sunday.

Beginning Sunday night the Folly
Theater will change its policy in sew
eral respects. First, there is to be
an advance in price All shows in
the future will be ten cents for adults
and five cents for children.
The five-cent nights for adults have
been dispensed with on account OF
several reasons which are given by
the management. First is the great
increase cost of production which has
made inrOads on the profit OF all the
playhouses throughout the country.
tut in increasing the price of the
show Mr.. FOto is giving an added al
traction each night. together with an
augmented orchestra. So, after all,
the shows that are TO be given to the

| cial attractions each night, an aug,

Wise Fish.

Scientists have discovered how tsh
can find their way to fresh water.
Their studies of the resistance of salt
water fishes to the decayed and de-
composed things, has led to an explain
alton of their habits.
1t appears that herrings can sense
differences in heat and cold as small
as quarter of a degree or less. They
appreciate the fact that only trace
of an acid or alkali is present in wa
ter. So sensitive are herring said to
be to acids and alkalis that the SCI
entists propose that these and other
fish be used to detect the chemicals
instead of the litmus paper, when
chemists use, and in the same manner
that canary birds are used to discover
traces of poison coal gas in mines and
elsewhere.

Said a North Carolina minister, Rev.

old-time minister helped to build this
nation, first, by fine personality and
a fine life; second, by building a
home that sent out sons and daughters
with characters like his own; and,
third, by an active interest in schools
and culture" There are old-time

helping in the same way to keep the

PEK!NG SEES DEVIL DANCE
Ceremony Instituted During the Using
Dynasty Mere Than 200 Years
Ago, Enacted by Priests.

Picking recently witnessed the cere-
mony Instituted during the Using
dynasty, over 200 years ago, known as
the devil dance" 1t took place in the
Lama temple, and was witnessed by
several thousand devOut buddhist
wOrshipers, says East and West.
Eighty priests danced in groups, vary
ing in number from two to twenty.
All the celebrants wore gorgeouSly EN-
brOidered silk robes and masks repre-
Senting animals. Conspicuous were
heads of tigers, oxen, sheep and deer.
The dance ended at two o'clock in the
afternoon, when a procession OF the
priests formed and proceeded to the
east gate of the temple grounds, where
the paper etfigy of a nude woman was
burned.
The legend which the ceremony COM
memorates is that the devil, in form
Of woman, ran about the country,
casting spells and working mischief TO
crops, animals and humans. Attempts
to catch her were futile until the Bud
dha sent q charmed horse to run her
down. The animal overlook the flee
ing woman after a race of 10000 Ii,
seized her in his teeth, brought her to
a place of punishment where she was
publicly destroyed by fire. The female
figure is not alike on all occasions

but generally the woman is young ana
comely, as being more dangerous TO

Sprague, former president Of the
American Institute of Electrical Ensi-
neers and n member Of the naval con-

Daniels today a general plan to cope
with the submarine problem.
While no details were revealed, it
Is understood the proposal is based on
recognition of the principles that Of
fensive rather than defensive meas
ures are to be preferred in combating
submarines. 1t is said to provide for
new types of seagOing patrols, equip
ped with a new weapon of offense
whose function would he to make GER
tain regions Of the sea more perilOus
for the submarine than for cargo
boats.
If adopted. the project would in
vOlve, it is said. important changes in
the shipbuilding programme.
Neither the secretary nor Mr.. Spra-
que would make any detailed state
ment regarding the plan which vii
he given consideration by department
officials and probably the genera
board of the navy before a decision i.
made.
