ANCIENT AND MODERN ROME
Worid-FamoVs Buildings Occupy
Sacred Sites in the Old capital
of the World"

Ancient Rome was built on the hills
south of the River Tiber. Tradition
regarded the Paiatine as the site OF
R0mulus' Urbs Quadrata. Excavations
have brought to light remains OF
earlier settlement and a prehistoric
metropolis. The capltoline was the
center of republican and imperial
Rome. One of the principal ancient
monuments Is Hadrian's mausoleum,
which, as the castle of st. Angelo, was
the citadel Of medieval Rome. West
Of this stood Caligula's circus, In which
Nero tortured the Christians; its site
is now occupied by st. Peters, the chief
shrine of Roman Catholicism, reputed
to be the largest church In the world,
occupying $4,000 square yards and
measuring 435 feet In Its highest part.
North of st. Peters Is the Vatican
palace, which covers 1914 acres and
comprises over 1000 halls, chapels and
rooms. The pantheon, built by Agrip-
pa in q B. c. and restored by Hadrian.
is said to be the best-preserved ancient
building In the city.

Mr.. William A. Radford will answer

as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he

According TO all indications, the big
demand by home builders for several
years to come will be for small homes.
Thousands of families, in an effort to
get away from the eXOrbitant rents of
the apartments in the cities, will build
homes of their own, and because of
the cost and their limited means, these
homes will necessarily be small. But
they will be as complete and just as
modern as any pretentiOus home on an
exclusive boulevard. The building art
has been developed to the point where
the small home can supply the same
comforts and cOnveniences that the
larger and more expensive one has
heretofore had alone.
With small home the man Is not
worried over rents, not worried over
a place for his children; he has plenty
OF room to turn around in, plenty of
fresh air to breathe. And he is an in
dependent citizen keenly interested In

A lightweight, smooth wool fabric

Elderly Lady a Shining Example Of
Those Who Can Rise Above
Vicissitudes of Fortune.

There is a white-haired old lady in
this city, totally blind and partially

In her earlier years she was a police
matron, one of the uplifting, cheering
kind, that take more than a jaiier's
interest in their wards. But in her
later years she lost her eyesight.
It is generally supposed that about
all that is left for a mortal bereft of
sight after middle age, is to sit and
mourn out the remnant years, cared
for by those blessed with all five
senses,
But not so with this woman. She
learned that the state gives adult
women four months of training in
