RUDE Shows Cunning
Marquard's cunning gave Brooklyn
its seventh consecutive victory. The
Rube pitched perfect ball for six inn
ings. The first hit of him came in the
seventh. Up to the end of the sixth
only one st. Louis batter reached first
base, Paulette profiting by an error in
the fifth.
BROOKLYN stepped off to the lead in
the opening period. Olson, the first
batter, inaugurated the game with q
triple TO left field. He scored when
Miller threw Daubert's grounder over
Paulette's head. This error put Jake
on third. Doak then frightened and re-
tired the side, leaving Daubert an
chored on the near corner.
The visitors overlooked chances in
both the second and the fifth. Cut

advanced on an out. He was caught
stealing third. Chief Meyers walked

the fact that the interior is warmer in
winter and cooler In summer, lower
maintenance costs because deprecia-
ton is very low and painting is a
negligible expense, and the permanent
fresh and bright appearance Of its
walls, the face brick house has as
sumed an important place among mod
ern residences. ARCHITECTS and build
ers have worked in unison TO make
possible the adaptabiIlty Of face brick
to the construction of the smaller as
well as the larger houses.
There are several standard methods
of building houses with a face brick
exterior wall surface. The two main
divisions are those of the solid wall
of burned clay material and the wall
of some load-bearing backing material
or frame of structural members over
the outer surface of which n veneer
of face brick is built up, this veneer
being tied to the structure by means
of metal wall ties, cut nails or some

Scott never mentions a schoolgirl.
Imagine Thomas Hardy fashiOning a
schoolgirl out of Wessex clay, or
George Meredith venturing to describe
Diana of the Crossways in those early
years. Arnold Bennett would have
created a little miniature old wife. as
Van Eyck and Memling paint babies
like miniature old men. H. G. Wells
would depict her as incipient tempta-
tion to lead Mr.. Britling, for instance,
into one of a dozen romantic adven-
lures. Galsworthy would try to fit her
into an ethical system, into a niche
of social justice or matrimonial ven
lures. Mr.. Howells, one may imagine,
might have essayed the task; but ne
would have tried to meet the difficulty
of getting the right values-as paint
er dabs blues on yellows to make
green-by adding to a primness, remi-
niscent of the Vicar of Wakefield, a
few delicate hOydenish touches. AS
there is no such thing as a schoolgirl
on the continent, French and Italian
novelists do not mention her. Indeed
the schoolgirl, as we see her, is an
American product and modern.-H. ID.

ing a progressive part IN the building
field today calls himself II general
contractor" and he is ready 20 execute
any kind OF construction work which
may be asked of him. This change
works TO the advantage Of the home
builder since II eliminates lost motion,
expensive mistakes, and makes one
man accountable for the entire Job.
The live contractor and builder Is
ready 10 erect residence according TO
any Of the different types of construc-
tlOn mentioned.
There is little basis for any man
giving up the Idea of building brick
house because of cost. II he is able to
build house at all, for an intelligent
selection of the design together with
the use of the least expensive type of
construction, will give him house
which has everything to be desired In
external appearance In addition To MI
of the qualities inherent in this kind
of house, making for comfort and low
living expense. II is not necessary TO
spend a large sum of money in decora-
tl0ns in order 10 have II beautiful
home. These little fancy fittings and
special trim are the things which run
up the cost needlessly in n house
which would doubtless look just as
well without the "eXtras." Judgment
Is also necessary in the selection of
the plan for low-cost house. The
number and shape of rooms affect the
price of construction. BY properly Sc
lectlng the finish given the interior
walls, floors and trim it is possible to
obtain refined and dlgnitied interior.
which is fully up TO any reasonable
standard, without the use of an eX-
pensive layout Of rooms. Small corner
seats and simple bookcases may be
used to add the touch of variety which
costs more in the form of bays, alcoves
and fancy trim.
The illustrations show the external
appearance and the plan of a simple
but very substantial-built cottage of
five rooms. The house is a framed
structure with a veneer of face brick
on the outside. Sheathlng may be
used or not, as desired. Wall sur
faces are not large in this house and
there win be no difficulty in keeping it
very cozily heated during the coolest
weather, even If the sheathing is omit
ted. Foundation walls need not be
extra thick for this type of building
provided they are carried down to

solid clay, gravel or other confined and
non-settling soil. The foundation wall
in this house should be one foot thick
at the bottom of which there should be
a footing two feet wide and one foot
thick. Architects and contractors who
prepare plans, proportion the footings
so that there will be an equal pressure
does occur it will be equal in all parts
of the building, thus preventing cracks
in the brickwork
After the framing of the house is
completed the outside veneer of face
brick is commenced. The porch wall
coping and the window sills through
out the house are made of white stone,
concrete or terra Gotta. The windows,
cornice and other wood trim are paint
ed white, which, together with the
white stone copings and sills and the
white porch column ornaments, form
a pleasant contrast with the walls.
The house can be built on a 30-foOt
lot with room for a walk around to
the rear and sufficient space at the
sides so that if the neighboring lots
are built on, the light can get in the
side windows. Easement windows
and screen sash may be made inter-
changeable for the front porch or the
easement windows may be permanent
ly attached and the screens placed on
the outside, these being replaced in
the winter by storm sash, making pos
sible the use of the porch as sun
parlor.
The plan provides combination liv-
ing and dining room separated by
wall in which there is a large cased
opening. The kitchen has handy
pantry attached. A notable feature in
the arrangement of rooms is the bed
room, bath and hall combination. This
makes for privacy, which is very de-
sirable thing where all rooms are on
one floor.

GET EXPLOSIVE FROM FLOWER
British Scientists Discover That Bios
som of Mahua Tree in India is
Rich in Acetone.

The munition output Of India has in
two years been increased a thousand
fold, mainly through the discovery that
one of India's commonest blossoms, the
flower of the mahua or mhowra tree,
contains acetOne in quantity. This tree
is widely known to all travellers in
Britain's Asiatic empire, but its use as
a base for explosives is at least one
thing new under the sun, says the
Scientific American.
When the war broke cut, acetOne,
which forms the chief ingredient of
cOrdite, was extracted mainly from
wood, maize, and starch; and the Brit
ish admiralty erected great factory
for the process of acetone recovery
from starch. But fortunately two Eng
lish scientists in Hyderabad discovered
that the mahua flowers contained ace
tone in larger proportions than it is
found in any other vegetable substance
that this inOffensive bloom was ten
time richer in the material in ques-
