MUD AS BUILDING MATERIAL
Recent Experiments Testify to Dry ness and Warmth of Clay House
By FLETCHER ALLEN

London, September 10.- Reciprocal
 News Service). The casual tourist in England misses much of scientific in-
 terest, but engineers and architects are sometimes to be found regarding old
 mud houses." as' the natives call them.
 Many people effect a surprising dis trust of clay houses, but most of them. unknowingly, prefer clay roofs. For
 slate is nothing more than pure clay which has undergone certain natural processes. Slate is clay rock.
 There are some ideal qualities for
 building purposes in clay. It is mat
 ter of experience that clay houses are
 not damp houses although one of the
 properties of clay is that it holds
 water. There is another quality of
 clay, however. that more than offsets,
 this for clay, because of it's fineness
 and cohesion is impervious to water.
 An unfaced clay house, it is true, will
 have soft exterior after a long and
 heavy rain. The outer surface will be muddy" but the interior will be hard and dry, for while clay will retain the water to certain thickness, the pene- tration is limited. and oly carries throgh an inch or two, even after the steadest and hardest rain.
 Clay, moreover, Is a non-conductor of heat and when used as building material gives a house that is warm in winter and cool in summer, and clay walls do not sweat"
 Arising out of the investigation and experiments of the Ministry of Health, certain improvements have been ef fected in the building of cottages with clay walls, which add strength and durability. In clay construction, white or blue clay is usually preferred, but any clay free from sand is satis- 1 factory.

 to six weeks. are fit for use.
 l Blocks are usually fairly large size, some eighteen inches long. and very thick. In building either a clay or l lime mortar joint is made.
 l Damp courses are naturally laid and foundations are generally of brick or concrete.
 l One of the difficulties of clay build-
 ing has been the difficulty of plaster ing, both inside and out. Ordinary
 plastering does not bind very well on the clay walls. The custom now is to
 drive nails. or pegs, into the clay. on which to bind the plaster. Wire net

 banded metal grating have given the | best results. I When the house is completed the

Scent of Violets
Leads Empress to
Sons Jungle Grave

| LONDON.-Hom the ex-Empress
Eugene traced her son, the Prince
Imperial, in Zululand along violet
scented trail is described by DR..
Ethel Smyth in Blackfood's Mag
agine.
Accompanied by Sir Evelyn Wood,
the Empress sought the cairn of
stones in the Zululand jungle where
her son was buried, but the UNDER
growth had SO encrOached on the spot
that the guides were unable to find
it.
The Prince had passion for VIC
let scent: it was the only toilet ac-
cessory Of the kind he used. Suddenly
the Empress became aware Of
strong smell Of violets. This is the
way" she cried, and went of on q
line Of her own. @ts
Sir Evelyn Wood said she tore
along like hound on trail, STUN
bling over the deadwood and tus-
socks, her face beaten by the high
grass that parted and closed behind
her, until, with a loud cry, she fell
upon her knees, crying "C'est ici!"
("It is here.") And there, hidden in
almost impenetrable brushwood, they
found the cairn! y
The Empress told me (writes DR..
Smyth) that the first Whit of per-
fume had been SO unexpected, SO
overwhelming, that she thought she
was going to faint. But it seemed
to drag her along with 1t; she felt no
fatigue and could have fought her
way thru the jungle for hours"

.|la old Kris. Several little
brothers, sisters or cousins should
make up the audience to be amused,
all OF them young enough to believe
implicitly in the whole story of the
Journey in reindeer sleigh from the
North Pole toy country to ones own
particular chimney. Parents and 9TH
er big folks must, of course, be in the
scheme and coached to play an ac-
tive part.
You will be missed from the com.
pany, to be sure, and dad and mother
should search the house and look up
and down the street and make all
sorts of excuses for your absence.
And II your voice cannot be contin-
ually and very successfully disguised
you had better not talk, but convey
your meanings by mods and motions,
not forgetting to shake hands all
round repeatedly and to laugh silent
~ but heartily, with much shaking of
sides and bending over.
Santa may play at being late, and
after he has filed the stockings he is
caught by dad, who loudly notifies the
household and insists that the old fel-
low pay visit and distribute the
gifts. Questions are asked about the
sleigh. which Is supposed to have gone
on without Its driver, so that the
youngsters won't want to run out and
look for It.
AT the end Of the ceremonies, which
should not last over half an hour. a
sudden disappearance may be. ar
ranged by calling the children to the
window with the supposed discovery
OF the returning sleigh. and Santa
may slip out of the room door, shed
and hide his buds and get out Of the
house BY the back way. returning
presently. with much noise, by the
front way, as though having been
gone for long time and, of course,
much disappointed to have missed
seeing Santa.
As for the costume, that Is mat.
ter of varied opportunity, except that
the white whiskers and wig, the fun
ny little old tassled cap and the fat
stomach are essential ~ !

SPAIN IS STRONG
POWER in LEAGUE
OF NATIONS MEET
AS Leader of Fifteen,
Spanish Speaking
Nations She Held
Powerful Vote

GENEVA.-The strong position
assumed by Spain in the delibera.
tons of the first assembly meeting
OF the league of nations and the
election of Spain to membership on
the council has been one OF the out
standing features of the meeting
which is now rapidly drawing to a
close. 3s7' #
Regarding for the past twenty
years as a decadent power, Spain has
suddenly pushed, herself forward as
the head of group Of fifteen Span
ish speaking nations which are all
members of the league except Argen-
tina. Her leadership was accepted
and she acted as spokesman for most
OF the south and Central American
powers in session here.
No other single nation headed
such powerful block of voters,
" The Spanish delegation occupied
a position well to the front of the
assembly hall. Thru the Marquis
OF LENA, Spanish foreign minister
headed Spain's delegation it was
Quinones de Leon, Spanish ambassa-
dor to Paris, who generally acted as
spokesman and there was scarcely a
debate of Importance that did not
bring him to the speakers tribune.
In committee meetings de Icons
was a hard worker and forceful
speaker. His suite of rooms was
sort of unofficial headquarters for
delegates of the Spanish speaking
states at night after the committee
sessions were over and it was there
that many important decisions were
taken.
The debate on making Spanish one
OF the three official languages of the
league with French and English gave
DR.. Arias of Panama an opportunity
OF paying tribute to the mother
country of all the Central and South
American nations that long ago
shook off Spanish rule.
There was time" said DR.. Arias
