ment and details of the interior and
exterior Of the house. Encourage her
to "go the limit" in saying what she
thinks would be nice" Put more
features down on the list than you
could possibly crowd into house and
when there is nothing left to be de-
sired, take plenty of time in eliminat-
ing what is unnecessary and bring the
dream down to the plane of reality.
The result will be far better than if
everyone concerned hesitates to men
ton their pet desire because it would
cost too much"
The structural features of the
house should be worked out on the
basis that it Is easy to build too large,
but it is hard to build too well. The
small house Is more easily made COM
Portable than the large house. Money
saved by reducing the size of the
house, when wisely invested in using
a little better type Of construction
or In providing a few additional fea-
lures of comfort for the interior, will
give the owner vastly more satisfac-
ton than the pride of owning a "big
house."
AS an Illustration of what can be
done to make the house comfortable
ing perspective view and the plan has
been selected. The size of this house
is 40 feet by "a feet inches. The
exterior Is designed to present a home
like appearance, little of the old
fashioned idea of "home" being clever
ly worked into the design in the shut
tered windows and the sharply out
lined gables. The main body of the
house is rigidly rectangular, with the
long dimension across the front. A
central projection provides the living
room extension and the front porch is
built as an extension of this part of
the house. The house is one-st0ry
structure, but the type Of roof which
has been selected for the design makes
1t possible to obtain large and well
lighted attic. A modern idea which
Is finding quite rapid acceptance is to
finish such an attic as this with wall
board partitions and ceilings, this
scheme providing additional rooms at
very moderate expense. The lumber
item for such an improvement consists
In q few light framing members to
provide basis on which to apply the
wall board and a framework in which
the doors may be hung.
The exterior appearance Of the
house is rustic. The walls are fin
ished with stained shingles and all
windows are provided with shutters
The roof cornice entirely around the
house is given rather wide overhang
but the edges of the roof above the
gables Is held quite closely to the
walls. A large brick chimney projects

Car Efficiency.

Railroad car efficiency In the United
States increased s per cent in 1916
over 1913, the previous best year. This
is equivalent to an increase Of 10000
cars over the total 100000 now in
use on our railroads, according to the
Railway Age Gazette, which also esti-
mates the mileage for each car day
in the fiscal year, 1916, as 81 miles,
At the same time the average car ca
pacity has risen from 38 to Al tons. .

MORE BUSINESS BY EXPRESS
Increase of IS Per Cent Is Noted, Vet
Earnings Are Expected to Show
Decrease.

The express companies are handling
% per cent more business this year
than last, yet their earnings are ex-
pected to drop. This is said to be due
to increased cost of materials and sup
plies and higher wages. The COM
Wandering of baggage cars by the gov
eminent Is also given as reason for
the slump in profits.

Most striking is the appearance Of

the largest engines of the single-ex-

interest to the layman doubtless lies
in the peculiarities Of it's design. The

part straight at Daly's Theatre just

that several of the speeches in the en-

rhythm confirms the impression that
Baldesarre is merely taking song
WHICH he cannot sing, but the author
introduced this spoken rccitative on
purpose for dramatic interest
The method of playing it is no diff

would be quite absurd. But do mean
that the situations and plot or story in
farce absolutely dominate the char
actors, no matter how we'll drawn or
humorous those characters may be, and
some oi the characters in the we'll
known farces have made stage history
at that. But If those farces had been
written only With regard to the devel-
opmcnt Of the humorous characters
they would have died young.
mot only is farce the most difficult
form Of drama to write. but it is the
most difficult form Of drama to act. 1t
requires more skill, sincerity technouc
and pep on the part of the actor to
make a success in farce than it does in
the classic drama. think that the
public appreciates all this, for once

there is no end to its drawing powers.

Farce is the melodrama Of comedy
1t is the most difficult form of drama.
Writing force is really hard work in
tensIied brain work and careful cal

does not elect to write the most diff

things considered.

People sLiberty Chorus
Will Sing to Win ;"

While Liberty choruses are springing
up all over the country, New York City
should be proud of the fact that the
first Peoples Liberty Chorus was or
ganized here to "sing to sell bonds" in
tho third Liberty Loan drive. Prob
ably no chorus of it's size was ever
created SO rapidly and SO successfully.
All credit is due to Mr.. Camileri, the
conductor, who carried his idea to the
Liberty Loan Committee, and to Mr..
Leavitt, of that committee, who had
the foresight to realize its value.
Again the Peoples Liberty Chorus is
mobilizing its forces to "sing to win, y
which is the new slogan of the chorus.
The City National Bank, the Guar
anty Trust Company, the Metropolitan
Trust Company, Best e. Co., Lord e.
Taylor and many other prominent or
ganizations are forming song training
camps among their employees under the
direction of Mr.. Camilieri in prepara-
tion for the forthcoming drive.
Song Training Camp No. I, for those
who are not connected with other or
ganizations, meets on Monday and
Thursday evenings at the High School
of Commerce, 1856 West Sixty-fifth
Street A prominent feature Of the re-
hearsals is Mr.. Camilieri's teaching of
"La Marseillaise" in French. Master
of six languages, he is prepared to teach
the national songs of any country.

Hisser Hired to
Please the Actors

A professional hisser was added
this week to the Three Faces
East" company at the Cohsn e.
Harris Theatre. His duty is not 10
stirsthe audience. like the profes-
sional claquer, but to stand in the
wings within hearing of the actors
and to hiss whenever pro-Germsn
word or sentiment is spoken on the
stage.
Only the actors hear the hisser:
he was hired for their benefit alone.
Sam Harris conceived the idea az
possible means of overcoming the
very strenuous objection on the psrs
of certain players in Three Faces
East to saying the pro- German
lines IN their parts. The players in
particular were Emmett Corrigan.
Miss Violet Heming and Herbert
Evans. Some OF the lines they re-
Deiied at saying unchallenged on the
stage were "Gott strafe England.
