Wins Fame rs Fighter.


Thus far Mr. Boyle has personally
witnessed thefts by nine men employed
In the chicken yards and in nearly every
one OF these cases he found il necessary
to demonstrate that physically he was
the better man. His fame as scrapper
has spread along the men in the trade
and employees under suspicion now duck
corners to keep out OF his way.
In only two instances has Mr.. Boyle
arrested chicken pullers. One. a man
named Sam Plan. was sentenced by
Judge O'Driscoll in Jersey City to serve
a term of six months or pay fine of
800. Plan went to the pententiary,
but friends weren't long in paying his
fine and securing his release. Another
offender was fined s25 by the same
Judge on Saturday.
Mr. Boyle confided to friends that he
didn't bother about making arrests in
all the cases. because politicians would
have them turned out as fast as he
could get them in. However, he made
a specia! point of prosecuting the two
men Just for the sake of making an
example of them. The Investigators
friends declare that his practice of thor
oughly thrashing offenders who try to
beat him up and getting them bounced
will do more good than fines or jail
sentences. A licking, they say. is the
only possible kind of argument against
live poultry stealing the thieves can
understand.

THREE THINGS TO CONSIDER
vital Points Must Be Studied Before
Work Of RemodeIino House 10
Put Under Way.

In the problem of remodeling a coun.
try house three elements are vital in
determining the plans: the site, the
surroundings and the amount of
money to be expended. The extent of
The plot of ground, If restricted to q
small area with little likelihood of flu.
ture increase by accession, will be an
Important factor in deciding the ger.
eral changes of the house, as some
types of building require more space,
further distance from the road and
other essentials to bring out their
best lines.
A country house should harmonize
with its surroundings in design, color
and materials. A house standing out
boldly on the top of a hill and visible
for miles should differ essentially in
appearance from one nesting in among
the trees at the edge of the woods,
from a house on the banks of a lake
or from a villa set back from the vii.

The amount Of money to be expended
Is a factor determining the extent and
manner In which the other two vital
elements may be best met and mas.

IDEAS FOR HOME BUILDERS
Thorough Planning Before construe.
ton Is Begun Means Satisfaction
When Home Is Completed.

Few persons In planning the loca.
ton Of a house take into consideration
the necessity of having the rooms SO
placed as to make them as comfort.
able as possible. Little heed is paid
as 10 which way the lot should face
and on which side Of the house certain
rooms should be placed. Careful at
tention to what are considered for the
most part as immaterial points In
building location and design is very
Important and results in satisfaction
after the house Is built.
The lot should face either the south
or west and whatever else Is done the
house must suit the grounds on which
it is built. The dining room is a great
factor, worthy of consideration, and
1t should be so planned as to leave
south or east exposure. If so located
1t will be warmed by the morning sun
and at other times will be sheltered
from the hot sun. The living room or
library should have south or west ex-
posures. The hall in many instances
may be made into a combination recep-
ton o and front hallway. In this
way the living room or library is Civ.
en- more privacy.
Kitchens should be well lighted and
ventilated, while bedrooms are much
more comfortable when they are of
ample size and have windows of suffi-
cient size to provide light and air.
Bathrooms should be featured by their
cleanableness and lack of ornate trim
mings. Opcn-work plumbing, thus ex-
posing to view the pipes and giving an
opportunity to clean them, should be a
feature Of these roolhs.
Cellars are factors also needing at.
tention. One with a cement floor in a
house with a good foundation and
guarded against waters from heavy
storms should be sought. and this can
be obtained by careful planning as to
details.

Transforming With Vengeance.
For Elsie 1t has been transforming
with a vengeance, a tour of tank towns
in more senses than one. 1t has meant
travelling without a maid for once in
a way, playing a whole season with a
one-dress wardrobe. bivOuacking In
strange and uninviting hotels.
1t has meant warbling as a cabaret

giOn barracks where the isolated
dOughbOys had been tearing their in
fected hair with disappointment be-
cause they had heard she was In the
post and knew they could not get out
to see her.
It has meant lingering for an extra
performance at some hut because a
whole new audience was coming
through the starlit heavens from the
aviation camp down the lines.
In all her years on the stage she
has known no such tumultuous, heart
warming welcomes as are her nightly
portions in the biggest time a booking |
