EXPOSITION in 2

Plans are under way for holding, in
Philadelphia, in 1926, an international
exposition to be designated as the ses-
quicentennial exposition. Sesqui is a
Latin word meaning one-half more or
n and a half times as much. AS CEN
tennial means a hundred years, sesqui-
centennial means a hundred and fifty,
as 1926 will be, counting from 1776.
The word is an expressive coinage but
rather hard for the American tongue
to get around. 1t is pronounced ses-
XVII.

KEEP UP THE STEADY STREAM

Over there in France are mammoth
idepots stored to the roof with NUM-
tons and supplies. Out from their
gates streaming over hundred and
hundreds of miles of roads motor lor-
lries, trains, and camions rushing sup
port to the battle lines. Over here at
ia hundred warves great ships are
being laden with the guns, the shot,
the shell, the powder, the vehicles of
transport to feed these depots
Through their receiving doors.
Think of the billions and billions
iof dollars needed to supply them all
Think of the Boys at the front who
are endangered, unless the supplies
arrive on time! And then think of
what YOU must do to keep up the
steady stream!
This Fourth Liberty Loan for Six
Billion Dollars is your answer!
Our soldiers do not say after q
fight or two, II have done enough J"
Then, surely, neither will YOU
after you have bought a bond or two.
Buy every bond you have the cash
ito pay for and then every n you al
pay for in future installments.

OUR INDIVIDUAL PART

Some observers think that the most
characteristic thing about the Ameri-
can soldiers in France, something
which astounds the enemy and excites
the admiration of our allies, is the
capacity of the American soldiers to
do individual thinking and fighting.
The German fights successfully only
in mass formation, In organized
bodies, while every American soldier
has an initiative and independence of
action which gives him remarkable
efficiency in open fighting. They are
not senseless cogs, but each is an in
dividual working unit in a great fight
ing machine.
Every American at home should
feel an individual responsibility and
do his or her individual part in win
ming the war. There is not an Amer
ican citizen who can not help win the
war. The Fourth Liberty Loan drive,
which begins September %, offers a
great opportunity for concerted ac-
tion and for individual action, and the
loan will be a tremendous success if
each American will do his or her indi-
vidual part as each American soldier
in France does his part. Our soldiers
deserve such support from the people
at home.

BLIND THE HUNS

In this war ~aeroplanes are the eyes
Of the army.
Overwhelming thousands Of these
Dir fighters will place in the hands
,of General Pershing the exact location
of enemy forces in every sector of the
front and prevent the enemy from
learning the disposal of u own
boys. This alone may a V the life
of your son or brother or husband,
and perhaps tens of thousands Of
others.
Measure your risk against the risk
of every noble aviator fighting for
you-He goes up today and returns,
he may do the same thing tomorrow
and the next day, but he never knows
If he will come down alive or dead
Yet he does it day after day and feels
his job is never done. Neither is
yours, not even if you bought a Lib
erty Bond every day.
Americans, FIGHT with your dol
lars, stand staunch behind the brave
boys. Bring with you cash and buy

HOUSE BUILDING IN KOREA
Operations Always Begun by the Con-
struction Of a Most Ingenious
System of Flues.

When a Korean begins to build a
house he first lays down a system Of
f1ues where the floor is to be. These
fues begin at a fireplace, usually
built In an outer shed or in a closed
alleyway connected with the house.
From the fireplacs the fiues branch
out like the ribs of a fan and end In
a trench at the back Of the floor space.
This trench, in turn, opens into a
chimney, usually built at some dis
lance from the house. When the 1ues
are completed the builder carefully
covers them over with fagstones; he
then cements the whole floor and COW
ers it with a sort of thick oiled paper
for which Korea is famous. The rest
Of the house is then built round the
completed floor.
The heating system works in this
way: When it Is time to cook the rice
for the morning meal the housewife
lights a little straw or brushwood in
the fireplace in the outer shed. While
the rice is cooking the heat from the
fireplace passes through the 1ues,
heating the stone flags of the floor
and diffusing a pleasant warmth that
lasts until it is time to prepare the
next meal. Two heatings a day gen.
orally suffice to keep the floor warm.
On the floor the people sit by day and
sleep by night. The heavy oiled paper
that covers the floor prevents any
smoke from entering the room.

Good Fees In the Old DAYS.

A drug merchant whom he had attend

HeIvetius empirically discovered that
the root had the virtue of healing dys-
EMERY. By curing that disease he ac-
cumulated no less than 100000 crowns,
and, in addition, became a favorite at
the court of Louis XIV. 1t is Opined

days were not as bad as the ultramod-
