Home Exposition
 Has Been Extended

Rr1HE Own Your Own Home" ex- H position, at the Chamber of Commerce the past week was SC suc- cessful because of the general inter est created in the building of homes and transactions made by exhibitors that it will be continued another week.
 The exposition has been success because it was visual. The man and the woman with home building thoughts arrived at a very definite conception of what home of given character and material would cost.
 Many orders to prepare plans were awarded architects, numerous sales of material were made and hundreds of men and their wives are much closer to the point of building than they were before.
 Visitors to the exposition know more about the use of hollow tile and brick and their cost compared with that of lumber, more about interior and exterior wood finish, more about where and how homes may be if nanced by seeing the exhibits in the chamber than they would have learned in weeks of haphazard consultation, first with one and then another ma terial man, architect or contractor.
 The exposition has served good cause splendidly and will serve it for another week.

TWO MARTxRS

From the Cleveland P7aia Doaaee.
 Edith cavell the English aarse who was executed by tho GerusA has left an immortal name for her countxynan to honor. Less familiar to tho world is the name of Mime. Depage, wife Of an eminent Belgian surgeon. who was di- rector of the Belgian Red Gross and who went down with the Lusitania when she was returning from America after having supervised the raising of funds for her Humanitarian work Both Miss Cavell and Mime. DepAge were vic- tims of German ruthlessness. Both are to be fittingly commemorated by the establishment, through the agency of the Rockefeller foundation. of . new medical school in connection with the University of Brussels. The American gift, amounting to 5000, 900, will be used in the erection of two buildingas one of which will be named for Miss Cavell and the other for Mime. Depage The object of the establishment is to provide the best possible equipment for medical research and to give to Bel- gium. the nation which suffered most from German warning, the supremacy in this line of endeavor which was held by Germany prior to the war.
 There is every appropriateness in this decision. It is Americas tribute to the nation that saved civilization. It com memorates the heroism of two women who gave their lives for civilisation's . cause. And it seeks to take away from the nation which attempted to wreck civilization supremacy of which 1t is no longer worthy.
