When the early settlers came to the
western continent they had certain
ideas on BODYBUILDING which they had
brought from Europe. In England
the predOminating type of architec-
ture was known as Georgian. 1t called
for simplicity and dignity and a GER
tain quaintness that made hospitality
the cornerstone of the home. Once
established in this country the settlers
began to carry out this same scheme
with some notifications. This devel-
Opment led to what is known as CO.
lOnial architecture. The colonial
home is as popular today, if not more
so, than a century ago, and there is
no reason to believe that it will lose
its hold upon the people in the years
to come. For fundamentally it en-
bodies all that goes to make the home
the center of life. Its delightful sim
plicity, quaintness and comfort are ir-
reSistible.
In the colonial home the entrance
is one of the dominating features of
the exterior treatment. 1t is the most

Afnhan Women Secluded.

The women of Afghanistan are kept
in more rigid seclusion and are more
closely yelled than the women of any
other MoSlem land. The Afghan Is
VIGOROUSLY jealous of his harem, and
few indeed are the men of the outside
world who have ever looked on the
face of an Afghan woman of the towns.
With the desert women, wives and
daughters of the nOmads, 1t is differ
ent; the Koran permits them to go un-
yelled.
Like the Arab, the Afghan considers
it unnecessary and even unwise that
women should learn to read or write.
No girls are admitted to the bazaar
sci Ools and no mullahs are employed
to teach them, and Afghanistah knows
nothing of women teachers.

Mississippi Valley Action

Senator William B. Mckinley of
Illinois (pOrtrait herewith) was
elected president of the Mississippi

above. The three f1rst-floor rooms are
large and the living room is ideal. The
old idea of a large room where the
family can lounge and entertain has
come back with a vengeance. No
more the small ornate parlor, now it
is the living room and this room is the
center of all home activity. Other
rooms such as the dining room and
kitchen have been made smaller and
the extra space added to the living
room. In the colonial house this room

Old-fashioned open fireplace which is
now considered quite modern. In this
house the living room is Is feet 6
inches by 20 feet 6 inches.
At the rear end of the living room
is a pair of French doors opening out
onto a sun parlOr, IA by IL feet. The
sun parlOr Is an essential addition to
any home and should be provided
whenever possible. The comfort it
affords easily offsets the extra cost
required to build it. An attractive
entrance similar to the one in front
leads from this porch to the garden.
On the other side of the small re-
ceptiOn hall which leads the way into
the house Is the dining room, smaller
in size than the living room, but ample
for its purpose. 1t is lighted from
two sides. A swinging door leads the
way to the kitchen, 16 by 10 feet.
On the second floor are three bed
roOms-an alcOve and bathroom. The
large bedroom is Is fef inches by
II feet, and the other two smaller
ones are IL by 13 feet inches. IL
four bedrooms are needed this second
floor plan can be easily changed to
accommodate that number.
This is the kind of home that is be-
ing built in all sections of the country

Physical Training for Boys

Just because our war with Ger
many is over the United States can
not be assured it will not be dragged
into another conflict. 1t will be al
most a miracle if we escape some OF
the difficulties which exist in the
world today"
This warning, by Maj. Gen. George
Bell Jr. at a luncheon of the Chi
cago Association of Commerce, was
one of several pleas for the physical
training of boys as the nations great
est asset.
"In view Of this outlook" he con-
tinued, at behoOves US as fore
handed nation to take such steps as
we can in the way of military pre-
paredness, and the backbone Of pre-
paredness is better health. 1t be-
hooves us to see that our boys and
young men are given such training
that they will be ready when the
time comes. Physical fitness is the
index of a nations military strength"
General Bell spoke of the training

Reoiment Proud of Iona Service.

The Third infantry, the oldest regl-
ment Of our army, which dates from
1884, has developed its arms to show
its early service in Mexico. One in
teresting device used by this regiment
is a baton crossed with an Oldtime
bayonet back of the shield. The ba-
ton which figures prominently in the
regiments history was made from the
flagstaff of the capitol of the City of
Mexico and was taken when the city
was captured. 1t is still one of the
most highly priced possessions of the
regiment.
