SEEKS OWNER OF WAR MEDAL
Opera Singer Redeems Emblem Found
In Window Of New York
Pawn Shop.

The sight OF n Victory medal in the
window of a New York pawn shop
moved Lucien Muratore, opera singer
and French soldier during the World
war, to redeem the decoration In hope
that II will find its way to its owner.

TO PREVENT CREEPING RIMS
Excellent Plan to Tighten Luos by De-
grees Thereby Avoiding Too
Much on One Side.

When the shoulders on the wheel de
signed TO hold the demountable rim be-
come worn, the rim and its tire will
creep on the wheel. Naturally this
makes the valve stem project at an
acute angle. and If continued long
enough may cut II of. If the valve
stem is held firmly by means of a cap
the strain falls upon the lower por-
ton of the stem and hat part Of the
inner tube which surrounds II. In
this connection it is well TO call atten-
ton to the neeed for tightening the
rim Tugs by degrees. If they are full

all the way around the wheel there is
apt to be too much space on II side
of the wheel and too little on the
other. The proper way is to tighten

Delays Cashinu Certificates.

Minnesota members of the Ameri-

and delay by the government In cash
ing its certificates issued to disabled
veterans to pay their expenses while
travelling to public health and voca-
tional training centers. Because Of the
difficulty In cashing the paper, the X
service men are 10Y forced to accept
a discount OF ten per cent. Authorize

banks and post Offices to pay cash on
presentation of the certificates is the
remedy suggested by A. II. Vernon,
Legion department commander, I'm let

commander, and to the federal board
for Vocational Education. 1t Is be-
lieved that the Legion will adopt the
suggestion and back legislation to that
end.

Many people prefer the house to the
apartment because they want to get
away from the inevitable crowding
which is found in buildings of the lat
ter type. Especially is this the case
If there are children In the family.
The "kiddies" need plenty of sunshine
and recreation to develop into healthy
men and women and these privileges
are not very often found in the large
apartment building. The home in
sures a yard. plenty Of breathing space,
bedrooms and comfortable rooms. For
this purpose the story-and-a-half
house is very excellently adapted.
Not too large and yet ample for the
needs of a family of five or six, it can
be constructed at a very reasonable
cost. To the average family the item
OF cost is n of utmost Importance.
AS the average man builds a home
but once In a lifetime. it is a PROPOSE
tiOn of importance and one that he
should study carefully before attempt
ing. While seeking as attractive a
home as possible he also wants one
that possesses permanency and pro-
lection against fire. For these two
qualities brick Is unexcelled. In the

two important features In sleeping
quarters. The old idea of keeping the
air out at night In the bedrooms has
lost its hold In most homes. That is
why bedrooms I'm new homes are pro-
vided with as much window space as
possible. The closets In these bed
rooms are exceptionally large. An
additional closet off the hall provides
a storage place for clothing out Of

house Is built on a corner lot. the
expense Of a long driveway Is not
necessary. A short concrete drive

There are many features about this
pretty home that will appeal strongly
to the man of family. Now that rents

attractive design should prove inspi-
rational for those who are seeking
