How 1erohtold Started.


Bismarck made certain changes in
the famous Ems dispatch in 1870,
which altered the tone OF that docu-
ment 50 greatly that his. elisions
amounted substantially to forgery. It Is
now held that something Of the same
kind occurred when Count Berchtold,
the Austro- Hungarian minister OF
foreign affairs. presented = document
to the aged emperor Francis Joseph.
and secured from him an authorize
ton for q declaration Of war. Al II
was presented to the emperor, it"con-
tained statement that inasmuch al
the Serbian troops had already at
tackled a detachment Of the Austro-
Hungarian army the empire must con-
slider itself from that moment as being
In a state OF war with Serbia.
Francis Joseph, then sojourning at
his fayorite resort, Isehl, appended to
Count Berchtolds memorandum this
statement: II approve Of the attached
draft OF q dispatch to the Serbian
foreign Office containing declaration

character of the residents of the
peighborhOod and above all the prob.
ability OF that locality improving In
popularity, and consequently In value,
and whether or not the improvements,
such as water and pavements. have
been made, all should be taken into
consideration.
Selection Of Design.
The site chosen. then comes the
selection of the design for the home.
It is not good policy to build a $4,000
home on a $500 site; neither should
a $1,000 house be built on Il $1,000
site. The house should be something
like in value the others In the neigh
borhood, for the reason that there
may come a time when it will be nee
essary to sell it.
Illustrated herewith is a moderh
wood bungalow of six rooms, IA size
that will provide for the needs of the
average family and will be readily
salable should that be necessary.
The dimensions Of the bungalow are
20 feet 6 inches. by 43 feet, which
allows plenty of lawn and garden
space on a 5O-foot lot. The exterior
Of this bungalow is exceptionally at
tractive, the wide porch across the
front, the long sweep of the roof and
the dormer window In the attic all
make IL one of which any owner can
be proud.
The house is of standard wood con-
struction. set off by a porch with
brick pillars and cement steps. This
IL economical construction and pro-
vides a good weather-tight house.
Room Arrangement.
All of the rooms In this bungalow
are. of course on the first floor. but
the roof slope permits a large attic
space. which helps to keep the house
warm in winter and cool in summer.
The floor plan shows the room ar
rangement. Across the front Of the
house are the living room and library
adjoining. Back Of the left end of
the living room are the dining room
and kitchen. while on the other side
are two bedrooms with the bath be-

The history Of the origin and draft
Ing of the Declaration is of consider

mental congress, which was meeting
in Philadelphia, Richard Henry Lee
Of Virginia. on June 7, 1916. intro
duced the following resolution, which
was seconded by John Adams;
Resolved, That these united col
onies are, and Of right ought TO be,
free and independent states; that
they are absolved from all allegiance

Drawback Of Present Methods.

| OraWpacko OF FreSent Metnoos.
These hampers are now made In a
wide range of sizes, from eight
quarts to fifty quarts, some sizes con-
tanning even fractions of quarts. With
such a wide variety. 1t is difficult for a
commission dealer to know which to
order. There Is also a wide difference
in quality. Manufacturers have ca
tered to the demands Of the grower
have sacrificed strength. The shipper
who uses flimsy baskets is penny
wise and pound foolish" for frequent
ly he stands to lose 800 worth Of
products in shipping when he saves
$1.OO in the cost Of his baskets. Rail.
roads are often expected to make good
these losses In transit and are some
times called upon to pay unjust claims.
The railroads. however, have been at
fault In accepting perishables In light.
fimsy containers, and the breakage.
furthermore, is often brought about by
unnecessary rough handling. It must
be remembered that In the end the
consumer has to pay for all such
losses as well as for the trouble from
so many different kinds and sizes Of
baskets.
Five Sizes Would BE Ample.
A thorough by the bureau
of markets in the various producing
sections has resulted In the conclusion
that five sizes of hampers are ample.
These sizes are the ei~ght-Quart or peck
basket; the %16-quart, or half bushel
basket; the 20-quart or five-elghths-
bushel basket the %32-quart, or bushel
basket; and the 4S-quart or IA -bushel
basket. Two shapes are recon-
mended for the last named. To
drop any of these sizes would be
detrimental both to the trade and
to the public interest, and to add to
them would mean useless and unneces-
sary packages.
BY standardizing the dimensions Of
hampers, the purchaser will be able to
determine whether he has been sold
a standard or non-standard basket,
simply by taking the measurements Of
the top, bottom and sides Of the bas-
ket. 1t will not be necessary to call
in an inspector or to take a chance Of
the baskets being unlawful, inasmuch
as the dimensions determine the ca
pacity. Baskets of standard dlmen-
sions can be loaded more easily and
snugly than can baskets Of different
sizes. The Standardization of dlmen-
sions would be a great boon to the
basket manufacturer, eliminating du-
plication Of forms and raw materials.
This would tend to reduce the cost Of
manufacture.
Baskets should be standardized as
to strength. for weak. fiimsy packages
will not carry to market and the re-
suit Is loss Of enormous amounts Of
foodstuffs and damage claims running
into millions Of dollars. The question
of proper construction Of hampers can,
department specialists believe, best be
left to regulation. but In q law only
a few of the principal elements OF
strength, such as the thickness OF
slaves, or Of the bottom piece. over
which there can be little or no dis
agreement, should be Incorporated.
