The dining room affords access to

an open doorway. This hallway, run

leads to the bathroom at the far end

very conveniently grouped with regard
to the living quarters. Secluded as
they are, they afford members of the
family a chance to rest even though
some activity Is going on In the living
room. The bedrooms are small, but
do not contain any waste space and
for that reason are very satisfactory.
Coming to the kitchen, the visitor
finds a small room so designed that

1t goes without saying that the
builder has accomplished something
very much worth while in constructing
a home like this. He has killed "twO
birds with one stone" as the saying
goes, by building a pretty and COM
Portable home at very reasonable
cost. As an economical type Of build
ing the bungalow stands in class by
itself. That perhaps accounts for its
great popularity which seems to gain
impetus as each day passes.

peIaware's Nicknames.

During the American Revolution,
the commander of a brigade in Del
aware was veteran cock-fighter,
who always bet on ''the blue hens
chickens" Thence the name came to
be applied to the members of his bril-
gade, and finally to the state itself.
Delaware has also been nicknamed
'the Diamond state" as being small
and precious.

Seen in the Fires Blaze.

To see bright blaze in the distance
before retiring is a good omen and
foretells that you will be successful
in what you undertake. If it fickers
and dies out before you turn your eyes
away it signifies that you have lost an
excellent opportunity.

Build up Animal Life.

ton Of game animals In forest regions,
says the American Forestry Magazine.
The transplanting of large game from
one forest to another where it form
erly was plentiful but since has been
killed out is worthy of universal COM
mendation and the work done by the
forest service in this field merits good
support.

$4,000 workers is now the theme of
impassioned pleas for an exclusion
bill on the ground that making mag
netos is a vital industry in time of
war.
But there are other industries, such
as toy making and lace manufacture,
which cannot be cited as key indus
tries. The protectionists in these in
stances have to. rely on plain statis-
tics, and they have no trouble what
ever in showing that England is be-
ing inundated with goods manufac-
tured abroad. The inundation is so
heavy that In the first nine months
Of 1920 England bought f17,000,000
Of manufactured goods from Germany
and In the same period exported
to Germany only t10,6Oo,000, leaving
balance in Germany's favor Of
f6, 100000.
In answer to oil this Sir ROBERT
HORNE, President of the Board of
Trade, does not wax eloquent in de-
fence Of free trade, as many of his
predecessors have done. He assures
the protectionists that the Govern
ment will soon introduce legislation
dealing with these weighty matters.
The old fashioned Engllshman who
had nothing but scorn for the Amer
lean tariff, and who believed that all
things began and ended in the Eng
ish policy of mo fear and no favor"
Is a pathetic figure as he fights with
all his remaining vigor to prevent
free. trade from being reduced to
mere shadow of its former self.

Freaks From Australia.
Four Products of Natures Whims
on Exhibition at Bronx Park.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: The latest
Australasian contribution to Americas 8
collection of curiosities Is the lung
fish, said by pal@ontologists to be the
link between fish and reptile. This
extraordinary creature, which now in
vites inspection and wonderment at the
Bronx Zoo. is equipped with a splendid
pair of lungs for its life on land, and
gills for use during the time it elects to
stay under water.
The lung fish has no evolution record.

American Museum OF Natural History
estimates that it dates back to the Ju-
rassic period some 30,000,000 years ago.
Other authorities are more conservative.

10000, 900 years. When man was con-
siderably less than a monkey the lung
fish was q fish.
With the addition of the lung fish

the three others being the giant moni-
tor. the double headed lizard and the
echidna, all of them fine and unusual
specimens, though none is as rare as
the lung fish. The monitor belongs to
the lizard family and Is believed by
scientists to be the direct descendant of
the prehistoric dinoeaur. 1t is perhaps
also the progenitor of the we'll known
lizard of the lounge variety. whom 1t
resembles in contour and general dispo-
sition and habits.
Next to the lung fish the echldna is
Of interest. 1t resembles a porcupine
somewhat. SO far as science has been
able to learn, II is the only mammal,
with the exception of one other Aus
tralian animal, which lays eggs. matches
it's young and then nurses them. Its
tongue is half again as long as it's
body and when not in use appears to
lie curled up somewhere inside it's body.
The double headed lizard. as its name
implies has head at each end of its
whether it is going or coming. It's legs
are so constructed that 1t can run back
ward or forward with equal facility.
There are several of these lizards at the
zoo. fat. squat little things about as
large as small boys forearm.

and the echidna alone would suffice to

sending us the lung fish she has cinched
and copper riveted her claims. A.

President.
After the Electors have voted in the
manner prescribed by the Constitution
Senator HARDING may be referred to
with absolute technical propriety as
President-elect and Governor Coo
LIDGE as e-President-elect.
1t Is an interesting fact of Ameri-
can politics that To this day the sue
cessors to President WILSON and Vice
President MARSHALL have not been
chosen. Notwithstanding the intense
political canvass which began with
the Republican National Convention In
June. Legally no Elector is bound
to vote to-day for Senator HARDING
or Governor Cox or for Governor
COOLIDGE or Mr.. ROOSEVELT.
Notwithstanding these technicali-
ties, the American people will continue
TO do what they have done for many
years, and after each quadrennial
election day speak confidently of the
candidates of the successful party as
the President-elect and the Vice-Pres-
ident-elect.

Americas Own Composer.
Stephen Collins Fosters Right to q

posal TO preserve the property known
as Federal Hill. near Bardstown, Ky.'

as strongly to all Americans as II does
to the Kentuckians who have under
taken the project.
1t was at this noted country place,
which received in their time Clay and
Lafayette. that later celebrity accom-
plished some OF his most notable work.
Here Stephen Collins Foster, who. more
than any other composer. penetrated the
heart OF American music. wrote MY
Old Kentucky Home" and the house,
which was for years the home OF the
Rowan family, has been known by that
name.
The songs of Foster are not folksongs.
since they are art compositions written
with the spirit OF native melody No
other American composer has conquered
so wide a public the world over nor has
any won deeper place in the hearts
of his own people.
There is additional interest in the
estate from the fact that Foster also
wrote "Massas In the Cold, Cold
Ground" The enlightened Kentuckians
who are endeavoring to make Federal
Hill permanent shrine to his memory
will have the sympathy and it Is to be
hoped the financial cooperation of the
composers admirers in all parts of his
country. r.

A Land of Investigations.

Somewhere along the shores OF
Lake o. the Woods there probably is
a resident Of the United States who
Is not Investigating something or hav-
Ing something investigated In which
he, innocently or otherwise, Is In

not certain.
In one Issue OF one New York news
paper last week there were twelve
display headings on investigations.
Legislative committees, grand juries,
district attorneys and Federal Off
cIals are investigating In or relative
to this city.
In Albany new administration
and a new Legislature are looking
into variety of proposed economies
and reforms.
In Washington they are invcsti-
eating everything from rum to the
Cuban elections.
Almost all kinds OF professional
sport have been ''probed" in the last
year, and we look for a searching in

Britten Raves Again.

Representative FRED A. BRITTEN of
the Ninth Illinois district is a figure
of inconsiderable consequence in Amer
ican public life but from his official
status his utterances on international
affairs may acquire undeserved weight
where, personally unknown, he is iden-
titled by his honorable title Of Mem
ber Of the Congress of the United
States.
In view Of this unfortunate posi-
bility an attack on Great Britain, ut
tered by Mr.. BRITTEN in the House on
Thursday when he introduced joint
resolution In opposition TO interna-
tional limitation Of naval armaments
by agreement among the leading mari
time Powers Of the world, is entitled
to moments attention.
Any outgiving of Representative
BRITTEN concerning the British En-
pire should be treated with utter con-
tempt by all sensible men, and 1t will
be so treated by all who remember
that Representative FRED A. BBITTEN
of Illinois is the man who in August
of last year made the charge that
SS7 800 allotted by the Government
OF Great Britain as an entertainment
fund for the British Ambassador In
this country never reached Sir AUcK-
LAND GEDDEs, but was diverted into
the hands Of British commercial
agents to be spent in support of the
Democratic national campaign.
The Senate subcommittee investi-
gating campaign contributions called
Representative BRITTEN as witness
and interrogated him with regard to
this astounding charge. On his oath
before the committee Representative
BRTTTEN was compelled to acknowl-
edge that he had not one single word
of evidence to support his monstrous
assertion, and in response to n ques-
tion put by Senator REED he was
forced to admit that his association
of the British Ambassadors enter
tainment fund with the Democratic
canvass was no more than "wild
jump of the imagination"
Thus eliminated Representative
BRITTEN's midsummer madness against
the British Government, and, regard
less of the merits of any plan or sug-
gestion Of disarmament, all his as
saults, direct or indirect, on that Gov
ernment are to be judged by It.
At moment when sobriety and
good judgment are needed in the man,
agement of our foreign relations Il
would be an excellent thing for in
ternational amity and domestic good
temper IL persons Of Representative
BRIfTEN's temperament could be eff
fectively muzzled.

habit in American official life, when
it is seen that bull terrier has graft

come out of their corners ana bark
ferociously Let me at himl"
The good point about investiga-
tons, many or few, Is that every so
often the people derive a great bene-
fit from some one investigation. So
while the reader may yawn over the
motley array Of officials with mis-
sions and muckrakes he is aroused
now and then by an explosion which
results from the efforts of man
who knows how to investigate.
Futile investigations, such rs the
work of the Palmers and the Swanns,
are discouraging. But they are Off
set by accomplishments such as those
Of HUGHES in the insurance mess,
WHITMAN In the police system scam
dal and, most recently, UNTERMYER In
the exposure of the labor and con-
tract CRAFTS and rings.
1t is worth enduring a few dozens
or hundreds Of footless investigations
to see few proceedings which pro-
duce some really great good.
Investigation has become an Amer
lean habit. Not understanding that
habit, foreigners who see the printed
revelations of wrongdoing are in
clined to believe that we must be a
pretty corrupt nation. They have to
be reminded that it is the American
way to bring everything to the sur
face TO be purified by the sunshine
Of publicity Ours are open expo
sures, openly arrived at. We hold
public clinics, which are much better
than no clinics at all.
In the millennium there will be no
investigations, for all will be pure
and honest. That will throw lot OF
stenographers and subpoena servers
