age. And concrete blocks are merely
units of concrete that are laid in walls
just as brick are. In their manufac-
ture, however, an air space is cast into
them, which provides insulation
against heat and cold, making concrete
block houses warm in winter and cool
in summer and economical to heat.
What good exterior appearance
concrete blocks have is shown in the
home in the accompanying illustra-
tion. This is a story-and-a-half house,
containing seven rooms and bath.
The foundation of the house is of
rock-face block, while the walls above
the sill are of smooth face block. The
design is attractive, the inclosed porch
running the full width of the house,
the long slope to the roof and the
dormer set into both front and back
being good features.
Plans of the two floors show the
dimensions and arrangement Of the
rooms. There are four rooms on the
first floor and three on the second.
The entrance from the porch is into a
small vestibule, off which is the liv-

CYLINDER WAS MISSING.

about and she had learned to drive II.
Not long after she got into trouble,
took the car to the garage and was told
to leave it, as one of the cylinders was
missing.
That night she said to her husband:
Harry, that garage man told me l had
lost one of my cylinders and l can't
think where l could have dropped it.

A device for protecting people from
taking doses from poison bottles by
mistake is a sandpaper label. The
ordinary label is pasted in a piece of
sandpaper large enough to go all
around the bottle, so that when any
one takes up the bottle in the night,
no matter how dazed from sleep he
may be. the rough, unfamiliar feel Of
the sandpaper rouses him and he rec
ognizes at once that the bottle con-
iaihs poison of some description: The

CAMERA FOR FINGER PRINTS.

A camera has been recently made
especially for the reproduction of finger
prints. Marks left behind by thieves
and criminals are easily reproduced by
this instrument which works almost
automatically. 1t carries lights for the
Illumination of the subjects and has a
lens which is always in sharp focus
when the instrument is held against
he surface containing the marks. 1t
is also suited for use in reproducing
signatures and similar work.

Doldrums of Oratory.
The ratification roll call came short
ly after six o'clock, following q day
of listless oratory on the subject OF
the covenant and the reservations.
The roll was called in tense silence,
with scores of persons in tie crowded
galleries keeping tally.
Amidst the confusion that reigned
as soon as the defeat of the treaty was
announced by Senator Cummins, the
president pro tempore, Senator Lodge
offered his resolution to return the
treaty to the president and Senator
Hitchcock strongly objected.

tion will be deferred for more mature
consideration. While the treaty re
mains before the senate there is still
a chance of its ratification, but once
| it is sent to the president that chance
is removed. 1t seems to me that the
sincere friends of the treaty ought te
be willing to defer action ON this meas

time had come to end the proceeding:

Enemies of Olive Tree

Like other fruit trees, the olive tree
has many enemies to contend with.
Besides the birds, there are numerous
insects which attack the fruit, the
wood. and the leaves. The most
dreaded of these is a small fly called
Dacus eleae. which is about half the
size Of a common house fly. The
female has a sting like a wasp, with
which she punctures the fruit where
she deposits her eggs. 1t is calculated
that a single fly will thus destroy
30 or 40 olives. The only known
remedy is to gather the fruit early.
