Velocity Of Stars.

From the spectroscopic measure
ments made at Mount Wilson observa-
tory, to determine the radial velocity
of stars ii. e., the speed with which
they are approaching or receding from
our solar system), it appears that the
star A. G. Berlin 1866 has a radial We
locity of 339 kilometers per second,
the highest constant velocity so far
observed for any star. Next to this
comes Lelande 1866 with a velocity of
325 kilometers per second, in the op-
posite direction.

cradle investment. The location with
reference to schools, the street, the
character of the residents of the
neighborhood 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.
1t is not good policy to build $4,000
home on a $500 site; neither should
$4,000 house be built on a $4,000
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 modern
wood bungalow of six rooms, a size
that will provide for the needs of the
average family and will be readily
SdIdDIe SuOulu ludl ne HeCeSSdTN'
The dimensions of the bungalow are
20 feet 6 inches, by 43 feet, which
allows plenty of lawn and garden
space on a 50-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 it 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
is economical construction and pro-
vides good weather-ti-ht 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

material man and architect will bring
an estimate of its cost, which is de-
termined largely by the location of
the city or town with reference to
the supply of materials and the la
Dor situation.
Reverting to the economy of build
ing home or renting one, the
thought naturally arises as to how to
finance the building operations.
The lot owner has no difficulty In
securing the money to erect a house
of a cost that is commensurate with
the lot. This is done in several ways,
the best being to borrow from the
bank on a first mortgage and paying
the balance to the contractor in
monthly payments, securing him with
a second mortgage. In this way the
monthly rent payment will in the
course of a number of years secure
the home for the owner.
Building a home now is an invest
ment that no man who uses ordinarily
good judgment in the selection of a
lot and design for the house will
ever regret.

against unionization of teachers" he
explained.
The governor was giving his idea
OF the teachers duties and standard
of citizenship. He contented that
teachers are really part or the state
government, and that loyalty to state
should not be divided by loyalty TO
unionism. He referred TO the Boston
'police strike as an example of what

Their gaunt faces and staring eyes,

They are hungry for drugs. Ner-

And their sufferings are being as

city OF New York Through this

history, bringing the addicts back to

among society a menace heretofore
unchecked.

partment said. Each day the dose
is reduced a quarter of grain until
finally only two or three grains are
required to give the addict relief.

Many of the addicts have become
slaves TO the drug because of relief
obtained by il during illness or seri-

professional men who, perhaps, be-

active nervous or mental energy to
properly pursue their life-work.
Still others are soldiers who have
suffered shell shock or who were
constantly under the influence Of
drugs in some European hospital
after passing through the inferno of
the battlefields.
The ends to which addicts would
go to obtain drugs, denied them
through recent laws, are unlimited,
according to police officials and ply
sicians. For this reason as well as
for the reclamation of the unfortu-
mates, the city has established the
clinic. which has won, not only the
admiration of all directly associated
with the addicts, but, in great
many cases, the undying gratitude
OF the men too weak to withstand
