Creative Ability.

In our office we draw a very distinct
line between designs or sketches and
working drawings, and it is, in my
opinion, fatal to try to measure a de-
signers ability by the number of hours
it would take him to produce sketch.
That is work that requires creative
imagination, and our designers are not
Judged by the amount of time they put
into the solution of an architectural
problem, but solely by the results
which they obtain, irrespective of cost,
SO that this part of the work does not
come under this category. Only after
sketches have been approved, and the
work is turned over to general drafts
men to be developed into working
drawings, can we begin to apply scien-
tific methods in accomplishing the diff
ferent ends.-Sunbeams.

THRIFT COURSE
LATEST SCHOOL
SAVING PLAN
Interesting Pamphlet Issued by
Treas. Dept. Savings Division
Explains New Study.

In furtherance of the plan to pro-
mote the thrift idea there has been
prepared and distributed for use In
elementary schools a comprehensive
pamphlet outlining a course of study
in thrift. The Savings Division of the
Treasury Department has compiled an
interesting and Illuminating booklet
which embraces the essential elements
for teaching and correlating thrift
with everyday subjects of study.
An introduction to the pamphlet ex-
plains the purposes of the thrift
course, as follows;
zone of the most important prob
lens which presents itself at this time
TO the American people is the neces-
sity for Individual and national thrift.
Thrift is a virtue which can be ac-
quired only after careful study and
practice. The schools are In position
TO render distinguished service TO the
nation by establishing the habit of
thrift firmly in the minds of those who
are soon to direct its affairs.
1.-The outline for the teaching of
thrift presented herewith is designed
TO place in relief those portions of the
various subjects in the curriculum
which constitute the material best
adapted TO the teaching Of thrift. 1t is
intended to be used in connection with
the subjects now in the curriculum,
but may If desired form a suggestive
basis for special instruction in thrift.
This outline is flexible enough TO be
adapted to the school systems of all
localities. With wise administration
II should contribute In large way to-
wards making the future men and wo-
men of America a permanently thrifty
people
Included in the pamphlet is COM
plete elementary course in thrift, en-
bracing definitions by famous person
ages, aims, methods of teaching, ten
principles of thrift, five principles Of
personal thrift and outlines of study
according to grades. The graded
courses include direct instruction, cor
related study, with examples in arith-
metic, history, geography, hygiene, ma
ture study, English and special sub
iects, and practice of thrift as related
TO care of clothing, desks, etc. salvage
of paper, rubber, copper, tinfoil, iron,
bottles, etc, and ways of earning mon
ey during spare time.
Already the thrift study course has
met with popularity among principals
and school teachers, and there is an
increasing advocacy of the plan which,
it is predicted, will win universal ap-
proval throughout the country when
its benefits are more widely recog-
nized.

Blind Horses.

The manner in which blind horses
get about without coming to more
harm than they do Is remarkable.
They rarely, If ever. hit their heads
against fence or stone wall, and
will sheer off when they come near
one. 1t appears from careful obser-
walton that 1t is neither shade nor
shelter which warns them of the dan
ger On an absolutely sunless and
MINDLESS day their behavior is the
same. Their olfactory nerves doubt
less become very sensitive, for they
will poke their heads downward in
search Of water fifty yards before they
come to a stream crossing the road
way.
1t cannot be an abnormally devel-
oped sense Of hearing which leads
them to do this, for they will act alike
though the water be a stagnant pool.
Men who have been blind for any
great length Of time develop some
what similar instincts to blind horses.

The Wlu In History.

The custom of wearing a wig, as
a recognized part of the costume,
dates from the early days Of the sew
enteenth century. 1t started in France,
when Louis XIII, being greatly struck
with the "long, fair locks" Of the Able
La Rivere, attained by the simple
means of a periwig, adopted the style
for himself, and so set the fashion.
BY the time of Charles II the wearing
of the periwig, or peruke, or perruque,
had become general. Pepys records
the fact that he paid f3 for one; but
it was not until the time Of Queen
Anne that periwigs or wigs for short
really came into their own. Then did
they appear in the full glory of an
ever changing though fast stabilizing
fashion.

Felicity a Necessity.

The presence of a wise population
implies the search for felicity as well
as for food; nor can any population
reach Its maximum but through that
wisdom which "rejoices" In the habi-
table parts of the earth. The desert
has Its appointed place and work !;
the eternal engine, whose beam is the
earth's axle, whose beat Is its year,
and whose breath is its ocean will still
divide imperiously to their desert king.
doms bound with unfurrowable rock,
and swept by unarrested sand, their
powers of frost and fire; but the zones
and lands between. habitable, will be
loveliest in habitation. The desire Of
the heart is also the light of the eyes.

Prizes for PIqmanship.

Every year pig race Is held at
Crone-sur Marine, In the north of
France, a prize Of 1900 francs being
awarded the lucky rider Of the win
ming pig. This race is held In accord
ance with the terms of the will of a
wealthy tradesman Of the village, who
died forty-two years ago.
He ordered that amongst the amuse-
ments of the annual fete should be in
cluded race With pigs. to be ridden
either by men or boys. The prize,
however, was not to be handed to the
winning Jockey except on condition
that he wore deep mourning for the
deceased for two years after the race.
The municipality accepted the eccen-
trio bequest, and these singular races
have been held regularly ever since.

1t is contended that woman's fear
of mice arises from their being classed
as vermin. The fact that rats carry
disease and plague is not disputed.
Mice may not be quite so dangerous.
Their bites and scratches are trifiing.
But they carry disease and dirt, and
a baby sleeping in a cradle, for in
stance, may suffer in consequence.
Mothers have for ages been affected by
this dread, and In seeking to protect
their offspring from contact with mice
have unconsciously. we are told, bred
that feeling of nervousness which has
provided the comic artist with his
periodical picture.

If Saving Were Fashionable.

prepared by Savings Division, U. 8.
Treasury
The effect Of fashion on saving has been
deemed SO important by the British Ma
tional War Saving Committee that 1t has
devoted a special paragraph In one of its
reports Of the Importance Of making saw
ing fashionable This report reads in
part: AN outstanding feature Of modern
life is the effect of fashion. Town life,
universal newspaper reading and grega-
rious habits make people very susceptible
10 suggestions of all kinds, A
stronger counter suggestion must be sup
piled"
The report then urges simplicity in life,
dress, decoration, to provide available
money to lend to the government, but also
TO release services engaged in nom essen
ttal activities for the production of more
important staples.
In the United States the war made saw
!ng fashionable. 1t was a good fashion,
especially the fashion of buying War
Savings Stamps and Victory notes 1t
would be too bad to have this fashion
pass Wise buying, avoidance of waste,
intelligent saving and safe investment
mean so much to the nation In this post
armistice and early peace periods.

Save little more.-Spend a little
less.

FAMILY OF SNAKE CHARMERS
Women Have Peculiar Power Over
Reptiles Which the Ordinary
Person Holds In Dread.

Possibly nowhere else Is the art of
snake charming brought to such a
pitch of perfection as at Mount Popa,
Upper Burma, India, and strangely
enough by women. Here two famous
sisters, whose fame is byword
throughout Burma, make their home.
At special requests they will conde-
scend to bring their proteges down to
the towns for, exhibition of their skill,
but as rule they prefer the vicinity

for many years past keeping their
secret always within their own circle.
The snakes they use are the deadly
hamadryad or naia bungarus (naia
ophiohagus), the king COBRA The
task, possibly would not appeal to
many, as these reptiles are the most
dreaded Of their kind. Measuring up
to, IL feet In length, they possess a
deadly poison in their fangs, and an
alarming speed, 1t is said of them.
also, that they are the only snake who
will attack human being on sight,
chasing him for miles until one or the
other is bound to give in.
The snakes are fed on fowls, and
appear amenable and tame to handle
The origin of the family. and their
work is probably unknown, lost in
the dim passages of years, but their
zeal is not one whit less TODAY than
1t has been since the profession was
first heard of. How long they will
continue to carry it on is matter for
conjecture but undoubtedly they stand
for one of Burma's chief curiosities
