master reserve corps is to obtain high
class specialists to serve according to
their previous training and knowledge,
and be so prepared that In the event
of the president calling for their serv-
Ices they will be capable Of rendering
efficient service without further train
ing. A reserve officer is appointed for
a period Of five years; must, If so or
dered, attend each year an army en-
campment for a period of two weeks,
and present himself for active duty
at the proper place in time of actual
or threatened hOstilities. The quarter

IOWA MOST WEALTHY STATE
In Proportion to Her Population,
Hawkeye Has Twice as Many
Automobiles as New York.

Twenty years ago the horseless car.
riage was in its earliest experimental
stages. Today there are more than
2,5OO,OO0 motorcars in the United
States-a car to every al persons! In
TO years the revenue derived from au.
tomObile licenses alone has grown from
less than $ $1,000 to more than sIS,OOO,-
900 in the year 1916. Ninety per cent
of this amount was spent on road and
highway improvements. But perhaps
the most interesting facts In the auto
mobile industry relate to the car-per-
population figures. Iowa, for instance,
has a car to every Is persons, while
New York, our richest state, has a car
to every 80 persons. In other words,
Iowa, in proportion to her population,
has twice as many cars as New York,
and 20 times as many as Tennessee.
The Southern states have the lowest
averages of automobiles according TO
while the Western states
the largest. - Popular Science

WEIGHT AND QUALITY
ARE BIG ESSENTIALS
Heavy Demand, but Small Sup
ply OF Large, Sound Animals,
Says Kansas Expert.

Weight combined with quality is
the prime essential in determining the
value of a work horse, in the opinion
of DR.. c. w. McCampbell, associate
professor of animal h%usbandry in the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
To-day the demand is the greatest
and the supply the smallest for the big,
sound, smooth, well made, easy-going
horse with substance and quality" said
Doctor McCampbell. "Such horses can
be produced only by breeding the best
farm mares to the best purebred draft
stations. Then the colt from this
mating must be literally fed from the
time he begins to eat until maturity"
Prices for work horses of different
weights have ranged on the Chicago
market during the last year approx
fmately as follows: 1900 to 1,400 pound
horses, $50 to $1S5; HOO to 1900
pound horses, S1S5 to $215; 1,5O0 to
l,G0O pound horses, $215 to $3.50; 1,60o
pounds or more, $3.50 to $500.

and unable to rise. This condition may
result from paralysis, from azoturia,
from forage poisoning, from lockjaw,
or from painful conditions of the
bones or feet, such as bighead or
founder. Lying down at unusual times
or in unusual positions may indicate
disease. The first symptom of collie
horse to lie down at an unusual or
inappropriate time or place. Some
times disinclinatiOn to lie down Is an
indication of disease. When there Is
difficulty in breathing, the horse
knows that he can manage himself bet
ter upon his feet than upon his breast
or his side. In nearly all serious dis
eases of the respiratory tract he stands
persistently, day and night, until re-
covery has commenced and breathing
Is easier, or until the animal falls
from sheer exhaustion. If there Is
stiffness and soreness of the muscles,
as in rheumatism, inflammation of the
muscles from overwork, or Of the
bones in bighead, or Of the feet In
founder, or If the muscles are stiff
and beyond control of the animal, as
In lockjaw, n standing position Is main
tained, because the horse seems to
realize that when he lies down he will
be unable to rise. A horse with collie
may sit upon his launches, like a dog,
or may stand upon his hind feet and
rest upon his knees N front, or he
may endeavor to balance himself upon
his back, with all -four feet in the air.
These positions are assumed because
they give relief from pain by lessen
ing pressure or tension upon the SEN
sitive structures.
BY observing the condition of nutri-
ton n may be able to determine to
a certain extent the effect hat the dis
ease has already had upon the animal
and to estimate the amount of strength
remains and that will be available
for the repair of the diseased tissues.
good condition is shown by rotun-
lity of the body, pliability and soft
ness of the skin, and the tone of the
hair. When the bony prominences
stand out, the skin is tight and inelas-
tic, and the coat dry and harsh, a low
state of nutrition is indicated. This
may have resulted from a severe and
Iong-continued disease or from lack Of
proper feed and care. When an ami
becomes thin, there is first Il loss
If fat and later the muscles shrink.
The amount of s%hrinkage in the mus
lies is an indication of the duration Of
he unfavorable conditions under which
he animal has lived.

PROBLEMS OF ELECTRIC CAR
Designers Finally Overcome All Diff.
culties as Regards Seating by
Arranging Upholstery.

Building an electric car to suit each
and every n as regards the seating
arrangement Is a difficult feat.
1t has been n much mOotcd Uues-
ton, this proper width, height and
depth Of the seat. AS no two persons
are of the same stature, so the same
seat cannot possibly fit two people
who are physically unlike.
If the seat Is too wide it will prove
uncomfortable, because it will allow
for the passengers to sway from side
to side. If it Is too narrow discom-
fort will result, especially if two per-
sons are seated in 1t who are of q diff
ferent physical build than the desig-
ner had in mind.
There Is a way, however, to meet
this difficulty. If you will notice, cars
are designed so that the upholstery
has a certain give to it. This has been
done with a view of not only giving
luxury to the ear, but to make possible
adjusting seat width. A clever de-
signer %arranges the interior of his car
very much like the boat designer does
inside of a cabin. There is no
surplus space,

He Moved On,

A beggar in San Francisco was given
a blind man, and each night he sits
on the sidewalk, asking for aims while
he plays a ~loud-voiced photograph.
The other night he was in front Of
the Menx hotel. Just over him was
the window of the room of a Suisan
rancher, who was fighting insomnia
and the noises of the great city. "Say,
you," called the ralcher, 'how much
do you usually reckon to take in Of
an EVENING"? "Ten dollars" said the
blind man. "Tm sending ten dollars
down by a bellboy," was the reply.

or less to the faith which he had In the
mar who did the building for him.
Today this man may reasonably expect
to see a carefully studied plan with
definite and binding specifications COW
ering the proposed building before any
thing Is decided upon. This develop
ment Is logical, since 1t Is wanted by
everyone commemorative owner be-
cause he wants to see what his money
Is going to buy, the builder because
he wishes his client to feel that his
work has fully come up to expecta-
tons.
The design shown In the accompany
Ing perspective and floor plan is in
tended to carry out the bungalow type
OF construction with some variation
In the usual external appearance. This
is accomplished by the use of n roof
design which Is mainly of the hip
type, when viewed from the front, but
which is really a combination Of both
the hip and gable types. In order to
balance the appearance and relieve the
wide area Of shingled surface, a little
dormer is built In front.
The sides Of the house are finished
in beveled siding. The porch is built
up of cObblestones capped with white
stone or concrete slabs. The corner
columns are carried part way up with
the stone and are then relieved with
tapering square wooden columns. The
floor of the porch is of concrete. This
house is preferably finished in some
dark shade with white trim.
Since the railing of the front porch
Is carried quite high, this porch may
be well utilized as another DON dur
Ing the months when the temperature
will permit. The living room is en-
tered from the porch, the door being
at one side of the steps rather than
In front of them, as is usually the case.
The large fireplace Is directly in front
of the door as the living Is IN
tered. This living room is not an ex-
and should furnish the family n great
deal of comfort. A narrow bay is built
the front wall having one large
and two small windows in it. There
are also two other windows in the
room.
The dining room Is a somewhat larg-
err o than the living room and is
with a buffet in accordance with
modern practice in house design. The
has the cupboard handy to the
room and the sink is placed I'M
der the two windows which furnish
light for this room. The refrigerator
Is placed in the real entry, that the
Ice man will not track dirt into the
house.
A hall which leads back from the
dining o. makes the two bedrooms
and the bathroom accessible from the
front Of the house. The basement is
also entered from this hall. Each bed.
Is provided with a large closet.
All rooms are made pleasant with
of light, and there is no reason
