CAPITOL PARK PLANS
TENTATIvE plans for the develop

= ment of the Capitol Park Exten-
sion Zone have been submitted
to the public for approval. They rep
resent the mature thought of Archi-
tects Drummer and Manning, who rank
among the most noted of their pro-
fession in the world, and at first glance
appear to be admirable. However, as
Governor Brumbaugh has said, they
are not final, but are given to the
people of the State for study and sug-
gestion. They contemplate the ex-
penditure of large sums of money, but
over such a long period of years that
the erection of buildings will not more
than CO respond to the growing needs
of the State in an administrative way.
The plans are comprehensive and
provide for a harmonious scheme of
treatment, so that, if they are adopted,
as it is presumed they will be at least
in large measure, those whose work
it will be to develop the park extern
sion zone will be moving constantly to-
ward a given end. The treatment pro-
posed is elaborate, but not more so
than it should be. The business OF
ito1 that offices of the several depart
ments are now scattered throughout a
half-dozen State-owned buildings in
the extension zone and elsewhere in
privately owned structures throughout
the heart of the city. The need for
enlargement will not only grow with
the population, but will be augmented
greatly by the evident desire of the
people to bring the affairs of the State
and those of its citizenry more and
more into close relationship.
The need for additional office room
is not a matter of the future even If
present conditions were tolerable. 1T
fore the landscaping of the capitol ex-
tension zone can be taken up seriously
Some of the old structures must be
removed il the district is to be beauti-
fed, but before these can be torn
away they must be replaced by others
The necessity for an appropriation
adequate to the needs of the Board of
Public Grounds and Buildings for the
coming two years in the preliminary
work of grading, landscaping and
preparation of plans for buildings that
must be erected in the near future
should be impressed upon the Legisla-
ture. No delay should be permitted
in the formulation of the required
budget, and some especial means
should be taken to acquaint the legis-
lators with every detail of the plans
as outlined at the conference yester-
day. They should be made to feel that
the matter is one In which the State
as a whole should be interested, that
it is really national in its scope and
that it will give to Pennsylvania
capitol worthy of it's importance
among the States and equal to that
of any capitol of the old world.
We in Pennsylvania have had big
things in mind for the capitol park zone
ever since the extension was author
lied. We have approached it's de-
velopment in big way. Big men nave
devoted their thought to it and in
turn have called other big men into
consultation. 1t now remains for the
Legislature to view the project in
big way, and to act accordingly.

a VAST DIFFERENCE

n REPUBLICAN administration
N fought the War with Spain
at a cost of $7S,500,00O
for the operations of the land
forces. We had about 10000 men in
the actual theater of the war. The
present Democratic administration
kept Pershing's column of $4,000 men
in Mexico for ten months at cost
of S14,000.000 month. BY compari-
son, the outlook is not agreeable in
the event that VIC really get into the
European struggle as Il result of the
German submarine campaign, But il
may happen that any force will be
cheaper than staying out,

ment, in an address deliv-
cred in Canada, that the
American consular service is
composed of broken-down poiiti-
cal bosses, WORKOUT lawyers and
dentists, and men who could not earn
a living at any honest or respectable
business, is perhaps true to-day and
was largely true twenty-five years ago,
The Republican party gradually and
rapidly worked away from that con-
dition of public affairs by establishing
the merit system in premotiaRs and
the competitive test system in original
appointments in the consular service
The Democratic administration put us
back a. quarter of a century in oui
standards of public efficiency.

have room or place where his things can be put and which he can use when he desires to work, think and be by himself. He has missed such place tn all of his rented houses, very much.
 The things named above are only a few of the different ideals which each member of the family may have, but they are all going to live in this house which is 70 be built. Therefore as many of the ideals of each member as are possible should be included in the arrangement and design of the new house.
 Putting these many ideas into one house may seem impossible to some. Don't let it fool you and cause dissat- isfaetion later.
 The way to solve such problem would be this: Sit down of an evening and let each get an idea of what 1t Is

nice things which win be appreciated

nice things which will be appreciated by each member of the family. This house has the outside shingled. If desired. weather boards can be used equally well. Either of the siding ma terials gives good appearance to the house.
 The house is of a style which was somewhat common some years ago. when the weather was allowed to color the outside of unpainted houses to a grayish color. In keeping with this, painting the house gray with white trimmings will be found very satlsfac- tory. It will help to bring out that quaint and homeIike appearance.
 There are nine-light French windows
 in front on either side of the porch One of the windows is for the living
 room and the other for the front bed room. The porch, being located be- tween these two windows, makes both rooms exceptionally light, since the porch roof in no way obstructs the light coming in through the French
 windows into either of the rooms. There are also terraces on either side of the porch. Flowers or vines can be planted in these and more cheerfulness
 added to the living room and front bedroom.
 The front door enters directly into
 the living room. The quaint exterior of the house imparts a friendly feel ing to the visitor. But on entering it
 grows stronger. The beamed ceiling and the large fireplace, with a mantle
 and bookcases built on either side, al-
 ways give that old-fashioned, homelike
 and welcome feeling.
 Double swinging doors with panels
 of plate glass connect the living room and dining rooms. The dining room bas a beamed ceiling and a convenient buffet is built on the inner wall. Both
 of these things are at present very popular and always show good taste. The kitchen is unusually large, and l is sure to be admired by the housewife. The windows in it are arranged so that the kitchen table can be placed
 directly in front of a window, where
 there Is an abundance of light. Cabi-

Stumbled on Burglars, Cache.

A burglars haul amounting to ST.. 800 was recently discovered by gar dener while digging up some flower beds in Kingston, England. He was preparing the beds for the winter when he was surprised to find ar- ticles of jewelry among the earth turned up by his spade. Then he called one of the other gardeners, and the two of them in a short time brought to the surface some two or three hundred articles of jewelry, all in gold, consisting of gold watches, ex- banding wristlet watches, finger rings, earrings, shirt studs, sleeve links, albert and neck chains; and other articles, some of them set with diamonds and other precious stones, the whole being sufficient to fill the apron of one of the men. The police afterwards sifted the earth and sue ceeded in recovering several smaller articles. Later in the day the Jewel- cry was identified as that stolen from a jeweler whose shop had been broken into by burglars.

 The next thing would be a general get-together, each bringing out the SUI perior points of his house. The first few plans may have all the things that one or two members of the family de sire, but few or absolutely none of the things the others desire.
 Finally, after perhaps all members have spoken of each of their plans, some member speaks up and says, There are those plans which Charlie has. We can just change this one thing in them in such-and-sgch a way and have all the things each of you ask for So the final plans are de cided on and all are pleased in every respect.

Little Rock.


 Efforts to amend the Bland-Creek- more House bill in the Senate so that the proposed commission to select a uniform textbook system for the State will be required to secure prices 25 per cent lower than now are paid, fail- quired a majority vote, but the bal lot was 15 to 15.
 Senator Caldwell started the fight for the amendment several days ago, and resumed it when the bill was call ed up Wednesday morning. Already nine amendments have been adopted by the Senate to the House measure, but these are more or less of little consequence so far as the bill as a whole is concerned.
 In supporting his amendment, Sena- tor Caldwell pointed out that the orig inal bill requires only that the com mission secure prices on books that are standard prices in other states having uniform school textbook sys- teus. He declared that he and other members of the legislature had been informed that the passage of a uni form textbook law would mean with. drawal of large number of book agents and publishing house repre-. sentatiyes who have been required to cover the state constantly, and that their withdrawal would mean a saw ing Of from 25 to B per cent on the cost of furnishing books.

 rhe First Arkansas Regiment re- turned to Little Rock from Deming, N M The companies composing the regiment passed in an informal re- view before Governor Brough at Fort Logan H. Roots Stationed at the center of the parade ground, Governor Brough, William D. Davenport, presi- dent of the Senate; Lee Cazort, speak CT of the House, and several other state officials watched the formations of the infantry. The boys went through a series of close order drills. At the conclusion of the review the troops formed a square around the governor and the officials.
 Gov Brough was presented with two letters, one from the Chamber of Commerce at Deming and the other from the mayor and city officials of Deming, in which the Arkansas boys were highly praised. The letter from the Chamber of Commerce is as fol- lows:
 'To the Governor of Arkansas:
 The State of Arkansas has every reason to feel proud of the splendid record made by the two regiments of infantry on the Mexican border, while in the service of the United States, during all of the time they were sta toned at Camp Deming, and it is with sincere regret that the people of Dem ing see them leave.
 "On the eve of their departure the officers and directors of this body de- sire to go on record to state that Col James, his officers and men of the First Arkansas Infantry, without a single exception, are as fine a bunch of men as we ever have had the pleasure to meet By their hon esty and manhood they command our respect and admiration
 We like the boys from Arkansas, and wish to give fair warning that when they are mustered out after their return they will return to Dem ing. The conditions of the climate have pleased them and they have the lure of the west in their blood They are the kind of men we need to build up this country, and we have 'hunch' that many of the mwill weel it and will want to return
 Governor Brough dined with the of ficers of the infantry in the bachelor officers mess hall. The home cooked dinner was served to the officers by Mrs. w. P. McDermott, who was in charge, and many of the members of the Daughters of the American Revo- lution the United Daughters of the Confederacy, Daughters of the Revo- 1ution. the Daughters of 1912 and Go loaial Dames

Ancient Huauenot Privilege.

The French Protestants, who have sent a deputation to England to ap- peal for help in rebuilding their ruined churches in the war area, en- joy a curious privilege in connection with Canterbury cathedral. The Hu. guenots, who crossed the Chan nel in great numbers after the re vocation of the edict of Nantes, were granted by royal charter the right to hold services in the crypt of the cathedral, and, after the lapse of two centuries, descendants of these refu-- gees and others still gather, Sunday by Sunday, in the underground chapel to take part in service conducted in French.

nets for food, china and cooking uten- sils are built against the wall on either side of where the kitchen table is in- tended to be. This arrangement saves many steps between the cabinet and the table.
 There is screened porch in the rear of the house. It connects with the back bedroom and hall. The hall con- nection is very convenient with respect to the bath. This back bedroom might be used for sleeping porch in the summer, or, if desired, it will be found nice as place to spend the hot sum- mer days in privacy. Another good use for 1t would be as a light playroom for children. In case this is desired, windows can be fitted in in place of the screens, during the winter months

While workmen were working under the boiler room of the Truman Coop craze Company at Truman, 12 miles west of Marked Tree, they built fire to keep warm, from which one of the dry kilns caught fire, resulting in a loss of more than $100,000
 At one time the entire north part of Truman was threatened, but timely shift of the wind and arrival of the fire-fghting force from the Singer manufacturing plant saved the dwell ings and business houses north of the Frisco tracks
 A. E. Diamont general superintend. ent of tho burned plant, said the loss would probably be s125,0OO, which was fully covered by insurance.
 Four box cars of the Frisco road, which had just been loaded for ship ment, were also consumed. About 400 men are thrown out of employment, with payroll of about s9,000 weekly. The Truman plant is owned by the Ozark Cooperage St Lumber Co, with headouarters in the Liggett Building, St. Louis.
