His Sensitive Soul.

George Challis, owner Of a theater
In Muncie, Ind, believes that the ray
Ing for passes to shows becomes 9 naa-

according to the Indianapolis News.
He had been besieged for weeks by a
man for passes TO shows In the thea
ter, and two or three times, just to get
rid OF him. had passed him In, which
only seemed to make him the more
insistent the next time, although Chal-
lis was under no obligation to him.
Finally the fellow struck Challis one
day when the latter was suffering from
the effects Of a poor house" the night
before, and, e~xasperated. he reached
down in his pocket and, handing the
importuning n a dollar. said, go
over there to the box Office and buy
yourself a ticket like other people do"
Putting up, his dignity ruffled and his
feelings apparently hurt, the other re-
piled, "What do you take me fora

walked away-with Challis' dollar Ia

A banker who was told that Charles
III. Schwab, the president of the Beth
lehem Steel works, was one of the
most forceful speakers ever heard at a
banquet table, said he believed 1t, and
then told this story:
About the time that Schwab was
buying Bethlehem steel. and had made
arrangements with Piny Fisk of New
York, to handle the bonds, he went
over to New York, and, of course, was
entertained at a dinner. There he
made n Of his most forceful utter
ances. Mr.. Fisk was moved to such
an extent that he said to Mr.. Schwab:
THAT will sell the bonds. Only, you
should write 1t out for me when you
return, 80 l shall have an accurate
statement"
Mr.. Schwab wrote out his remarks
as soon as he got back to his home and
sent them to Mr.. Fisk.
Mr.. Fisk saw him soon afterward,
and said: "Why didn't you write me
what you saidY'
81 did" responded the steel master.

"Well," answered Mr.. Fisk. much

COLONIAL house is always plainly rec

with such a plan outline, the design

rooms which are well-proportioned,

The central entrance is at the for

through the house to the small real

entrance there Is a large cased open
ing on either side OF the hall. One of
these leads into the living room and
the other into the dining room. The
stairway to the second floor is built
in this hall. The small real porch is
set into the house, being simply a por-
ton of the center strip provided for
the hall. However, this porch does
not project under a second floor room,
which sometimes produces difficulty in
heating.

necessary to give the effect of length

This room, however, is long enough SO
that 1t can be arranged to give the i'm
preston of c~ompactness. This idea is
carried out by placing the large brick
fireplace along one of the side walls

GERMANS BRlBED THE UMPIRE
Carl Emil Junck Tells How Teutons
Are Tricky In Other Ways
Than In War.

Carl Emil Junck, a dye importer of
Chicago, was talking about Germany.
The German spirit today Is tricky,
shifty and false" he said. 'The Ger
mans today think its clever to cheat.
Their war, with its violation of every
war law and every international agree
ment, Is n cheating war.
Here is an illustration of the Ger
-man spirit:
"When / lived In Elberfeld I organ

felt boys. Once. when the team was

house are not pure white. but there
Is just enough color in their surface
to produce a slight contrast between
them and the pure white of the trim.
1t will be noticed that the house is
symmetrical about the center line of
the facade. This means that a bali
anced effect is built right into the
house, regardless of the manner OF
decorating it. Because of this "mc-
chanical balance" the most simple
decoration such as the standard
scheme Just mentioned Is most sue
cessful, the reason being that IL the
decoration is in any way strikingly
attractive, a stir appearance is pro-
duced. The beauty of the Dutch CO.
lonial style rests in the appearance
which conveys the idea of trim. clean,
neat lines and surfaces.

the standpoint of interior arrange
ment. This advantage comes out of

ny WILLIAM A. RADFoRo.

Daring the past ten years and at
the present time there is a tendency
anoag home builders to select a type
of architecture which descends direct
ly from the early houses Of this coun-
try. The colonial architecture, in all
of its phases, has been carefully stud
led by architects specializing In resi-
dence design and beautiful dwellings
may be found everywhere which pos
sess the characteristics Of this style.
All of the modern building materials
have been used successfully in the
adaptation of the early style to pres
ent needs and desires.
Among others there is the type
shown in the accompanying photo
graphic perspective view. This house
with its gambrel roof and central en-
trance, divided sash windows and
shutters Is ~typically Dutch colonial.
The walls Of the first floor and dorm
ers are finished with stucco and the
remaining exterior surface is covered
with shingles. The outside-built Chin
ney is laid OF brick. The design is
simple, which Is really a characteris-
tic Of the style rather than of this par
ticular house. The dominating fea-
lures of the house, as far as appear
anc is concerned. are the roof and
the windows. The roof surface is
large in the Dutch colonial style and
a considerable portion of it has such
a steep slope that it Is used to take

the place of walls for the second story
on two sides of the building. The
windows are fitted with shutters
which are almost invariably painted
some shade OF green. 1t is interesting
to compare the modern with the early
house and one point of interest is
called in mind in connection with the
shutters. In the early days it was
necessary to go to considerable trou-
BILE in order to close a shutter which
had been thrown wide open. If the
shutters were closed during a storm.

Farmers Can Corn for Cattle.

Canning corn for COWS is being en-
couraged by A. D. Wilson, head of
the agricultural extension division,
University Of Minnesota, and chairman
of the state committee on food produc-
ton and conservation.
Corn is canned for cows in the silo..
By the use Of the silo, says. Mr.. Will
son, it is possible to provide summer
pasture conditions in the winter and
everyone knows that no feeder can
successfully compete with June pas
lures. A silo is therefore. of perma-
nent profit to the farm. No one keep
ing Is or more head Of cattle can
really afford to be without one. =. &.
Silo building at this time also will
help to win the war. One of the
pressing necessities Of the war. is to
save grain in order that large sur
plus may be exported. By the use of
silage, from one-third to one-half of
the grain ordinarily fed to livestock
maybe saved. -
