The reversal of the first half-hour coin

resulted in very heavy offerings of ex

Many substantial gains were reported at

The Chicago Herald says: Traders con-
strued the government crop report on corn
as bearish. 1t is the general claim of Re
ually be enlarged to the record level OF
1915 which was $40 million. This makes
traders very bearish. 1t is the belief of the
grain exporters that the export council will
not entirely prohibit exports of grains and
provisions, but Will take supervision of
them and permit their expectation by IL
censed operators under restrictions
There are Is Dutch and five neutral
steamers in the New York harbor loaded
with wheat, corn. oats and barley awaiting
permission to clear. 1t was said last
oats had been increased. Under existing
conditions sharp traders are not consider
ing the ordinary factors as the things to
follow explicitly, as the war conditions
throws them into the background as price
makers. Farm reserves of wheat and the
visible supply, eliminating the Canadian
wheat are estimated at only 23,720 900

UNCLE JOE'S TRUE VERSION
Corn Story Which RE Declares
Is Thirty Years Old.

Uncle joe" said Il new member Of
the house to Representative Cannon Of
Illinois, Il heard a good story about
you and green corn"
Great guns, man, that story is
thirty years old said Mr. Cannon.
'Well, am u new congressman and
| fell for It,"
IF you are going to tell it again"
went on Mr.. Cannon, ''let me tell 1t
to you right. | have seen more YER
SiOnS of it than there are silk threads
in a corn tassel. It's true, all right.
1T happened at the old Willard no.
tel when it used to be run on the
American plan, with three meals
day. | am light eater, but am pow
erfuIly fond of green corn. One day
| had a neighbor on from Danville,
who took dinner with me. | had
three orders of green corn.
Joe says he TO me, how much
board do you pay at this tavern" |
told him. He looked at the stack of
cOrnCobS, ruminated Il moment, and
then remarked: Don't you think 1t
would be cheaper for you to board at
a livery Stable?'

spaCe-saving articles of home equip
ment, because the results obtained by
their use in very small house is very
striking. Their application to the lar.
ger houses is just as effective, if not
so striking. ANY house might have
one or more disappearing beds in
stalled as a substitute for the extra
bedrooms. Houses having sun parlors
are not yielding the fullest return on
the investment unless the sun parlor
is also serving as sleeping porch.
The type of building which is Sc
leCted will determine largely to what
degree economy of space can be car
ried into the design of the house itself.
Perhaps the greatest capacity per
square foot of ground within the foun-
dalton walls is possible with the So
called square" type of house. A
house of this type is very easily d.
vided up into rooms without necessary
loss of useful space. Furthermore,
the appearance of the square house is
altogether pleasing, as may be seen
from a study of the accompanying per-
spective view.
In the design illustrated, the walls
of the house proper are finished with
stuCcO, while the sun parlOr, porch,
chimney and foundation wall above
the grade are built of brick. In house
of this size the combination of stucco
and brick Is striking. The color and
texture Of the brick surfaces may be
selected with the object of producing
the effect which is most pleasing to
the owner, and the Stucco is capable of
various treatments to bring out the
desired effect.
The rooms are arranged in very
pleasing manner. In the large recep-
ton hall an open staircase is built.
Double doors lead off to the living
rooms. In the main living room Il
brick fireplace and two bookcases are
the most attractive features. Glass
doors having an ornamental window on
each side are placed between the main
living room and the sun parlor. These
two rooms give the house a splendid
basis upon which model home may
be founded.
The dining room and kitchen are
connected by a pantry built out from
the rear wall of the house between
these two rooms. The arrangement
Is very convenient.
Four bedrooms and bath are pro-
vided on the second floor. Every room
is well lighted, of good size and full
height. There Is balcony above the
porch, the roof being covered witt
deck cloth and waterproofed.

q considerable amount of floor space
with a stairway to the attic which, 1t
is probable, will not be used a great
deal. There is a solution to this prob
lem also. The movable stair is being
manufactured for just such use. 1t Is
built into the attic floor, has a neat APP
pearance from the floor below, is
strong, substantial and serviceable and
is very easy to operate. All that can
be seen from the floor below, when the
stair Is folded up, is a carefully fin
.shed panel Of wood, which is finished

been eliminated from the fve-room de-
sign--in addition to its ordinary use,
which must not be interfered with.
OF all the rooms in the average
house, the bedrooms are actually used
fewer hours than any other rooms.
Consequently, If the bedrooms can be
eliminated, maximum saving of space
is accomplished. How may the living
room and the dining room Of our three
room house also be used to serve as
two bedrooms? The problem has
been solved in the disappearing bed.
During the daytime, the living room

MILLIONS OF EGGS SPOILED
II Delicate GeIatinous Coating Is 5rok-
en- Egg viii Immediately Begin
to Deteriorate.

1t is not necessary to smash an egg
to spoil it. 1t is provided with a del
icate gelatinous coating for protection
which keeps out air and germs only so
long as the coating Is intact. If the
egg Is cracked or checked, even so
slightly that it cannot be detected,
this protective coating is broken and
the egg will not keep so well. Over
100000 dozen eggs spoil annually
in cold storage in this country on ac-
count of checked shells. This is an
immense waste of food which could
be greatly lessened If there were
greater care in handling the eggs.

Whence Khaki Came.

1t appears that khaki has been In
use In the British army for more than
forty years. 1t was In use at the time
of the Jowalki expedition In 1877. Ali

the Afghanlstan war of 1S7S-lSS0 wore

There are two methods of designing
house so that it will have sufficient
capacity to meet the needs for which
1t is required. One method is to pro-
portion the size Of and number of
rooms to the special requirements of
the case. The other Is to utilize certain
of the space for two or more purposes
and thus obtain the same results with
a lesser actual floor area. Home equip
ment designed for the purpose of saw
ing space has been and is being devel-
oped with success because of the fact
that its need is urgent, calling forth
the efforts of exceptionally ingenious
men to meet the need.
Suppose, for instance, we consider
how it may be possible to realize the
same utility out of a house of three
rooms which might be expected of a
house of five rooms. Naturally, this
requires that two Of the rooms in our
three-room house be so constructed
and equipped that each will success
fully provide every useful quality of
the corresponding room which has

KEEP FOWLS OUT OF GARDEN

Hens are creatures of habit. If they
are kept contented in the chicken yard
the garden may be next door and never
be disturbed. But let one old hen fly
over the fence, and she has graduated
from the chicken yard. She will not
only go over again, but she will teach
others to attempt the feat. She has
