A AMERICA Is MAKING TILES
Decorations in Spanish, Moorish and
Other Designs of Past Centuries
Add to Beauty of Homes.

In this country the making of tiles
has been taken up with enthusiasm by
potters. The styles vary greatly in
color and texture. showing Spanish,
Moorish, German, old English and 9TH
er designs. The interesting way in
which they may be used to decorate a
modern facade is shown in a house
on Nineteenth street, New York city.
The tiles are set off with especial re-
fnement and brilliancy by the rough
cement background.
The large panel over the door is ct
a pleasing, medium blue color, and tie
decoration is of a peacock, the whole
panel being in four parts. These were
taken from the Basilica Of st. Apollin-
arts at Ravenna. Around it is q border
Of thing and cement and the small
tiles which ornament the ground show
two swastika forms.
One of these is copied from a tile
at Tyro, the other copied from one OK
cavated at Persepolis. This doorway
is further enhanced by large garden
pots, zone on either side. These are
made of the same materials, a gray,

Mistakes in DRAINAGE.

It has been learned by experience
as well as by experimental %investiga-
ton that the influence of a tile drain
in removing water from soil of uni.
form character is increased by low.
ering the drain. A drain laid at a con.
siderable depth along n side Of a
road is better than two drains at less
depth. M on each side Of the road.
provided the soil is Of a uniform
character. Unfortunately, this quail.
flying provision in the general state
ment is often forgotten, and a single
line of tile is laid along one side of
q road where the conditions are such
that it cannot possibly perform the de.
sired work. In a subsoil which changes
from sand to a compact, fairly imper.
vious clay at six feet, it would be un.
wise to install drains deeper than six
feet, for otherwise they would be in
material yielding very little water, and
might even prove less effective than
drains laid at the level of the clay
surface.

SHOULD RELY ON ARCHITECT
Suggestions Within Province of
Expert, 1t Is Asserted.

Architects face several hard prob
lens in the construction of a house for
a new wne The latter believes that
since the money which pays for the
house is his he must be given the lib
erty to declare what builder is to get
the job after all bids are in. The
owner forgets that the architect knows
more about building than he; that he
is an expert in that line and for that
eason the owner has hired him. The
common sense owner makes no Sug-
gestiOns within the province of the
architect, but relies on his judgment.
Should the owner be allowed his own
water, says an exchange.
Naturally the owner in awarding the
contract would select the lowest bid
der because he is the lowest bidder.
The lowest bidder may not be of suf-
icient financial to meet obliga-
and mechanics liens tie up the con-
struction of the house, making the
owner the loser and net the builder.
The architect, who probably knows
the builder is not the proper man to
build the house, advises against him.
In this way the architect protects his
client because be, by reason of his
work, is able to discriminate between
the INSCRIPTIONS and the scrupulous
builders, and the fnancially-fitted and
the builder with weak finances.

HANDLING MILK I'M WINTER
Many Farmers Relax Vigilance In
Cold Weather and Low Grade
of Milk Is Produced.

Many farmers who pay strict atten-
ton to the correct handling of their
milk and ream during the hot wealth
er relax their vigilance during the win
ter. The result is that good milk is
produced during that part of the year
When good milk is difficult to produce
and a low grade of milk when it is
naturally easy to produce good. Too
much dependence should not be placed
on the natural. GOODNESS of the atmos-
phere, for the chances are that this
will not suffice. 1t is a noted fact that
during the fall and early winter pur-
chasers of milk often find it more diff
ficult to keep the product from getting
sour than they do during the hot
weather.
Milk should be cooled to at least so
degrees f. Immediately upon being
drawn from the can and kept at that
temperature until used. If the ordi-
nary GOODNESS Of the atmosphere is de-
pended upon for this, it may be hours
before the milk reaches the required
temperature, and in the meantime mi
crobes have been multiplying which in
a short time will render the milk unfit
for use. To produce first-class milk
the same care is demanded in the Win
ter months as during the summer,
cleanliness and a correct temperature
being of cardinal Importance at all
times.

CREAM THIEVES ARE FOUND

Zinc and Vaseline.

When COW have sore teats caused
by improper milking, applying an ONT

when the creme is first apparent
will probably be sufficient. If the teats

P0PES PEACE VIEWS IN
 HARMONY WITH PRESIDENTS
Indications Are the Vatican Will Net Press Austria's Proposal
 Upon Allies.

Rome, Sept. 18.-(Delayed). Pres ident Wilson's reply to the Austrian peace note was read with much inter- est by Pope Benedict and Cardinal Gasparri, the papal secretary of state, and the other officials of the Vatican.
 There is every indication that the Vatican will not make an effort to press Austria's proposal upon En- tente Allied governments, nothwith- standing the request made in the note.
 Observers of the policies of the Vatican claim that it's peace ideas are fully in harmony with those of Presi- dent Wilson. One indication of the policy of the Vatican in this respect is said to have been the strong edi- torials in the Corriere d'Italia, the semi-official organ of the Vatican, that contained arguments that the war should be continued, rather than to have an unsatisfactory peace.

Remnants of Turkish Force Is Flee

London, Sept. 22.-Further infor- nation concerning the dramatic ad. vance of the British army in Pales- tine begun during the night of Sep tember 1g, serves to confirm the com pleteness of the surprise and the mag nitude of the success. 4 special cor respondent at General Allenby's head quarters writes:
 'The Turk has had smashing blow and is retiring into the hills as fast as his weary legs will permit. The British are pressing him with splendid energy, delivering overpow- ering blows in every attempt to re- sist.
 Preparations for the battle en- tailed good deal of marching. The troops were always moved by night and remained hidden in the orange and olive groves in the adytime. The British mastery of the air prevented enemy observers from seeing any change in the dispositions and the movements of large columns. Troops of all arms were thus concealed skill fnily in a country where the marching of men raises huge columns of dust, and the Turk, too, possessed positions that commanded wide range. But he remained mystified, which is the finest tribute that could be given to the work of the British staff.

TANKS CAPTURE

Prisoners From s7th Division Taken During Raid--Big Guns of Amer jeans Smash Enemy Troops
 Fighting Is Light.

With the American Army in LOT raine, Sept. 20-Several prisoners from the S7th German division were captured last night by an American patrol west of Vandieres. This divis- ion had been in the line in this sector only few days. It is one of the Ger man crack divisions and it was marched into this area from the quiet sector west of Rheims where it had been resting.
 The prisoners said the 87th would have been sent opposite to the Amer jeans sooner but that it had been we'll shot to pieces on other fronts, in- cluding that north of the Marne dur ing the German retreat, and had been compelled to await replacements which had been long in coming.
 Big Guns Smash Hun Troops.
 An American officer visited an ob- servation post during the day yester- day, and, while he was there the ob- server saw movement of troops on the crossroads west of the Moselle. The Germans were moving south ward. The officer took charge of the situation by telephoning the artillery, which responded promptly. The gun ners opened up on the roadway and direct hit was scored on the cross roads just as two enemy squads had reached that point.
 Thru powerful glasses the officer saw the shot take effect, killing some of the enemy and wounding others. Great confusion followed and after the artillerymen had fired on the crossroads and the region nearby for ten minutes, the troop movement toward the American lines ceased.
 The crossroads were not used dur ing the remainder of the day yester- day.

PRICE ON COTTON TO BE
 MADE BY GOVERNMENT
Only Question of Time When Uncle Sam Win Fix Amount to Be
 Paid for StapIe.

Washington, Sept. 1S.-The price to be paid for cotton will be fixed by the government. That is foregone con clusion, which IS admitted by members of Congress who have been watching every development with reference to cotton prices. The sole question now which these men are considering is that of the price.
 There has been some fear expressed that the price will be fixed by the President, either thru straight-away decree, or by fixing q price for the cot ton to be purchased by the govern nient, and thus controlling the price for all free cotton, will be not above 80 cents pound. Such price would present a staggering blow to the hopes of the senators and representa- tives who are representing the cotton growers.
 A flood of telegrams and letters poured into the office of members of Congress today and impromptu con ferences held in the offices and about the chambers caused the cotton price fixing question to receive more atten- tion than any other matter before Congress at this time.

Man Discovers Drug That Loosens Corns So They

Good news spreads rapidly and druggists here are kept busy dispens- ing freezone, the recent discovery of a Cincinnati man, which is said to loosen any corn so it lifts out with the fingers.
 A quarter of an ounce costs very lit- tie at any store which handles drugs, but this is said to be sufficient to rid one's feet of every hard or soft corn or callus.
 You apply just few drops on the tender, aching corn or tcashered cal lus and instantly the soreness is re- iieved, and soon the corn or callus is so shriveled that it lifts right out without pain. It is sticky substance which dries when applied and never inflames or even irritates the sur rounding skin.
 This discovery will prevent thous- ands of deaths annually from lockjaw and infection heretofore resulting from the suicidal habit of cutting corns. Adv.

With American Army in France, Sept. 1S.-From the manner in which the American army received the news of President Wilson's reply to Aus trla-Hungary's peace note, it's attitude might be characterized as on of grim approval.
 The report of the Austrian sugges- tion that peace conference be held circulated rapidly yesterday from headquarters far in the rear to the front line trenches and the officers and men alike expressed the belief that none of the allied governments, cer- tainly not theirs, would yield to what they regarded as a trick of the cen tral powers to gain time.
 As the news of President Wilson's brief answer moved steadily toward the outposts and was passed on by one soldier to another, there was a feeling of relief among the officers of high rank and an air of satisfac- tion among the enlisted men. The attitude of the soldiers, often repeat ed, was:

Enemy Activity Has Been Checked by

With the American Army on the Lorraine Front, Sept. 18-Enemy aer- ial activity has shown a decided slow ing up in the last twenty-four hours, partly because of the aggressiveness of American fiiers and partly because all the airdomes behind the German lines have been greatly damaged in the persistent bombardment they have undergone.
 Allied cooperation in bombing op- erations has been a notable contribu- tion to the success of the offensive. French patrols yesterday engaged in eleven combats, bringing down one enemy plane and four observation bal looms. The American pursuit group had six combats, sending down three planes. Reconnaissance machines took photographs and directed artillery fire.
 Bombing planes dropped more than eleven tons of bombs on Longuy Dommery and Barroncourt and two tons on Confans and Audun. 0bserv- CTS reported the damage at Confans was especially heavy All enemy cen ters in this section have been serious " damaged in the last few days.
