PLAN BEAUTY IN BUILDING
Cottage Seeming to Grow Out of the Ground Can Be Cheap and
 Not Ugly.

Soon the economical small dwelling is coming in it's thousands, writes Lieut.. Gordon Allen, R. E.. author of "The Cheap Cottage and Small House." in the London Mail.
 Cost has always been an essential consideration in the building of cot tages. And some of the very qualities making for cheapness tend also toward pleasing appearance. Repose and genuine homeliness the right use of materials, the application of thought and good taste to produce graceful proportion and picturesque balance those are some of the elements help ing to harmoniZe a cottage home with it's environment without adding any thing to the money expenditure.
 Let us examine our historical cot tages and try to discover by analysis whence comes their beauty. We shall find that the old builders made direct for comfort and convenience-as they then regarded it-without troubling overmuch about ornament. And by force of circumstances they were com pelled to use only the building ma terials at hand.
 What an object lesson for us today!
 Local materials are still cheaper than those from distance. They al- so weather" better, besides looking more suitable. States, for instance are jarring and out of keeping in clay districts. And where stone is avail able, bright red bricks offend nature as well as the neighbors.
 Forty per cent of the cost of a house is spent on walling. A legitimate means of saving in this direction is to reduce the height of buildings. This can be done without taking away from the floor area, which is so important. Moreover, lofty rooms are not neces- sarily healthier than low rooms, for tall windows and other kinds of ven tilation can easily be provided.
 And the lower cottage is and the more spreading its lines, the more pie turesque will it be.

Tree Furnishes Blankets.

Nature is kind in Ecuador. When a native wants blanket he goes to n demaiagua tree and cuts from it a strip of peculiarly soft, thick bark, five or six feet long. This is dampened and beaten until the flexibility of the sheet is much increased. The rough, gray exterior is next peeled off and the sheet dried in the sun. The result is a blanket, soft. light and fairly warm, of an attractive cream color. It can be rolled into a compact bundle and with ordinary usage will last for several years.

FOOTBALL IS ANCIENT SPORT
Was Popular Among the Old Romans and Also Found Some Favor
 With the Florentines.

Can you imagine Julius Caesar play ing quarterback on The Rome uniyer- sity eleven. or Brutus skirting the ends in those days when the forum was as busy as three-ring circus? No? New ertheleSs 1t was a probability. for 1t appears now that football originated with the Romans.
 few uneducated persons used to think that football was of Greek in- vention; but Trench and Camps trained news hounds. aided by Italan propagandists, have fastened it on Rome. The Romans, not really know ing that it was football. called 1t "cal- cium. IL appears 10 have been q goodly, rough-going game. full of spirit, feet and broken elbows played more on the soccer order than the Rugby style in common favor.
 With the fall of the Roman empire "calcium" also fell out of the spot light. not to appear in favor until the time of the Florentines and their MediCis. There is no record of Ma chiayelli having participated in the games. but we imagine that if he did he played foxy, clever game. Clio vanni de Bardi, q well-known Floren- tine newspaper man. wrote as follows in 1880:
 "The caleio Qater name) is public game played between two groups of young men on foot. not armed. who payfully compete in making ball. by means of their feet. pass outside of d certain line back of the opposite group. The ball Is mediocre in size. filled with wind, and the game is played purely for the honor of win hing"

the Lincoln highway in 1913, have been active in promoting plans for it's beau- tiftcation.
 Tt is considered most appropriate that each state through which the Lin coin highway passes arrange for the planting of "Yictory" trees for the sol- diers and sailors of the community who have died in the service of their country. It is conceded that the motor truck and motor car have played mighty part in the winning of the war, and that the Lincoln highway stands first in the minds of the people as the medium of their use in through, con nected transportation. For these req sons the planting of memorial trees along the Lincoln highway is particu- 1 larly favored.
 It is pointed out by the American Forestry association that wood has played a big part in the victorious achievements of our forces overseas and that attention must be given to the replenishment of our wood stock. With each Lincoln highway state co-operat- ing with the highway authorities, liv- ing lesson could be taught to coming 1 generations as to the beauties and l value of forestry"

First Contraband of War.

During the war between Spain and Holland in the latter part of the six teenth century and early in the seven tenth century both those powers acted with so much rigor toward ships of ev- cry other nationality conveying goods to belligerents that England felt com pelled to enter a strong protest. The resistance provoked by England led to the first use of the term "contraband of war when the treaty of Southamp- ton was drawn up between England .nd Spain in 1925.

Russell Sage frankly confessed in his will that he was not temperament- ally fitted to distribute his fortune, or any part of it, for philanthropic pur- poses, but added that his wife was more qualified for this task. Uncle" Russell had developed the acquisitive quality to such an intense degree that no space was left in his makeup for distributive ability.

France Sacrificed Forests.

"The United States" said Mr. Pack. should feel the deepest sympathy with France over the loss of her magnificent forests so many of which have fallen before the devastating hand of the Germans, while behind the lines 1t was the French forests which were called upon to provide q large part of the timber needed for war purposes in France by the allies. About one and a quarter million of acres of forest land lay within the territory occupied by the Germans in their advance through France. It will require many
 years to get these forests, which had been built up by long and careful thrift and conservation, to anything like pre- war condition. This Is one of the great sacrifices which France has been compelled to make, as millions of her population were dependent in one way or another on woodworking industries. Their work and their source of income has been cut off Even before the war It was necessary for France to import part of her wood for manufacturing purposes. In addition to the vast amounts that will be required for re- construction work, France will need wood for her woodworking industries and her people who have depended on

 William Howard Taft, vice presi- dent of the American Forestry associ- ation, urges the planting of memorial trees. and the Lincoln Highway asso- ciation has taken up the plan of the American Forestry association in the states through which the highway passes. MT. Taft says:
 One fitting and appropriate me morial for our soldier dead would he rows of fine trees planted along the great through highways of the various states. They will stand there for many generations to come and keep fresh in the minds of the paSsers-by the heroic deeds of the young Americans who gave their lives that freedom, and justice and truth might not perish from the earth.
