Other Noises Throughout Day
Big Parade With 1000 in Line Held

its Capitol City in Forenoon

Augusta. Names Capital, with
thousands of other places all over
the United States, went ioy-mad
yesterday over the news that the
World War was ended, and casting
all business aside, gave herself over
entirely to the celebration of the
joyful occasion And such a celebra-
ton! Never in the history of the
city has there been such a demon
stration of JOY on the part Of every
body. both old and young, as was
manifest everywhere throughout the
dag, from hours before the coming Of
the sun until long after, as the poet
says. might drew her sable mantle
round and pinned it with a star"
Augusta never had the opportunity
for like celebration, LIT she rose
to the occasion and carried through
to successful finish a demonstra-
ton that was worthy of her and her
citizens-one that will ever have a
place in the history of the city.
The celebration did not come as
a surprise. 1t had been expected
and many people went to bed Sum

was likely to break" before morning.
And 1t did break What broke"
vas the glad news that the war was
over. Though it was a that time
only 800 in the morning, an hour
when most everybody in town ex-
cept the night workers are asleep,
il took but n short time for the It'd
ings to get noised around, and before
o'clock the church bells began to
tell the story. Then came the notes
OF the fire whistle on City hall. and
soon there was added to the din the
almost endless variety of noises
which had been provided for in an
ticipation of the celebration by
Young America of Augusta.
AS the day advanced the noises in
creased and the crowd was ever
growing larger, especially in the
business part Of the city. In the
early morning hours tar barrels were
burned in Market square, and as the
heat from these fires was at that
time not at all uncomfortable the
square was facorite gathering
place for the celebrators, and any
one within a radius Of mile Of that

Kitchen Is compact and convenient
and that is all a kitchen need be.
Upstairs are three large bedrooms.
sewing room, bath, and numerous COM
modlous closets. These closets are
commodious with respect to floor area
but, cramped for height. They occupy
the low space under the roof, but do
not continue to the point where the
rafters join the plate.
The only foot of waste space In the
house is In the upstairs hall and that
unused space is limited In area.
Unused Space Costly.
In many homes a considerable per-
centage of the enclosed space is of no
practical value, but the cost OF such
space is just as great as though 1t
were available for manifold uses.
In home planning and home building
and the idea Of building a home or
the desire to plan one is dormant or
active In every normal person-the
chief trouble arises from endeavor to
associate ideas that are incompatible.
Many home builders seek TO use the
feature ideas of many houses and that
is utterly impossible for the ideas are
dissimilar and cannot be put together
without disregarding cost or sacrifc-
ing Appearance.
In building a home the thought
should be borne In mind that every
cubic foot of enclosed space repre-
sents a fraction of the cost. In actual
practice the cost ranges from 10 to 80
cents per cubic foot. If, due to care
less or impractical arrangement, the
space is not disable 1t represents q
dead loss, and that fact viii become
painfully evident to the owner II eve
the house is placed on the market.
These practical ideas of value
should be kept In mind when examin.
ing a plan with a view to Its adoption.
or In making up tentative plans from
which the final design is to be made.

and well appointed interior arrange
ment.
1t is entirely practical and should
be the chief ambition of every build
er to combine in every structure these
two elements Of real value and de-
STABILITY.
Practical Features Combined.
In the home here illustrated many
practical features are combined. The
rooms are large, conveniently arranged
and well lighted. The exterior is at
tractive.
This home may not suit you In every
particular, but then you are reading
plans to get ideas and you get one, or
a part Of one, from every plan you
examine and one day you will find all
of your ideas combined In just the way
you want them combined, and that will
be your house.
All worthy ideals are worth striving
for and your ideal of a home certainly
Is worth the effort 1t viii cost you to
secure or produce 1t.
Why not take this design and ex-
anime It In the light Of modern ideas
and compare and contrast 1t with your
ideals.

DANCING IN LONDON
Given for the Young Officers Now on
Leave

London, Nov 28-Dancing, virtual
ly interdicted by the war, has been re-
sumed in limited way. Two hundred
eager applicants for tickets to the
first dance were unable to obtain adj
mission.
These "rationed" inter-Allied dane
es, designed especially for the edifi-
cation and delight of young officers on
leave in London, are smiled upon by
the military authorities, a number of
whom were present at the first. There
were a hundred hostesses, many pro-
minent in English society, including
Lady Randolph Churchill.
American army and navy officers
almost out-numbered British and
French One-steps and twO-steps
which some ondoners refer to as "Am-
erican stutter dances, alternated with
the more sedate waltzes. Two women
police were there as chaperones, but
they had little to do.
Lady Randolph Churchill told a re-
porter that introductions, made by the
official hostesses, were to be feature
of the dances. Single tickets are not
to be sold to women OF girls.
