ONLY MAN-POWER IN CHINA
Human Lives and Labor About Cheap
est Thing in That Vast East
ern Country.

Life and labor are so cheap in China
that men are still used for heavy work
instead Of machinery or beasts of bur-
den, writes Robert Dollar in The Ma
TONS Business.
This was brought home to me very
forcibly in the handling of the big tim
bers which l donated for the rebuild
ing of the famous Ling Wing temple
near Hangchow. This temple was
first built in 1856 A. d. Marco Polo
tells of it. There are caves and
shrines of all descriptions.
His excellency Sheny Kung Pao,
learning that Americans were planning
to erect a college nearby for the edu-
cation of Chinese boys, decided to re-
build the central hall of the temple in
all it's former greatness and splendor-
in it's day it was the most magnificent
of all Chinese temples. For this pur-
pose he ordered % of the largest
round timbers that could be found in
America. l donated these timbers and
sent them over on the deck of the
NJ. S. Dollar They ran in size as
long as 125 feet, and 4S inches in di-
ameter at the butt; they were perfect
ly straight, and as fine pieces as ever
left America.
cat Shanghai the timbers were put
on raft and taken up the Grand
canal to Hangchow. From there they
were carried by coolies over the five
miles to the site of the temple. Two
hundred and fifty men, 125 to each
side, handled these great logs. A bam-
boo pole for each man was tied to
the timber by a small rope, the poles
angling slightly to permit the man on
one side to carry on his right shoulder,
and his associate on the other side,
on his left shoulder"

Sugar, Senate and Charges of Scandal

CHARGES of a two-Sided scandal
- in connection with the sugar
schedule of the tariff bill in the SEN
ate caused a furore that resulted in
a general demand for an investiga-
ton.
Senator Pat Harrison Oem., Miss +,
who provoked the row, first charged
that the United States government
had attempted to intimidate Cuba into
restricting her sugar crop for the year
to 100000 tons, so as to protect
American cane and beet sugar pro-
ducers from competition.
He accused Senator Smoot (Rep.
Utah) of writing letter to Major
General Crowder. in Cuba, ''propOs-
ing that if Cuba would reduce her
crop TO 100000 tons, this country
then would take under consideration
the maintenance of reduction in the
present rates on sugar..
The Mississippi senator then read
from a newspaper copy of document
purporting to reveal an agreement be-
tween certain unnamed senators and
the sugar interests wkerebs in lieu of
an increase Hf four-tenths of 1 cent
a pound in the duty on sugar, as de-
handed by American cane and beet
producers they were to be paid a sub
sidy of $14330, 1884, According to the

-Four ambassadors. sixteen minis
tiers, two agents and one minister resi-
dent and consul general appointed by
President Harding, the report says,
were persons without any previous
diplomatic experience.
"While many of tie % appointments
made of persons without previous
diplomatic experience operated as a
recognition of political obligations"
the report states, 'the evil of such
appointments is largely abated by the
present administration and contrasts
favorably with the records of the first
year of other administrations.
For this record, President Harding
and Secretary Hughes are to be com
mended. President Harding is fur
thermOre deserving of commentator
in that he had selected for secretary
of state a man of the highest qualifi-
cations and one devoted to the merit
principle
The committee reported a still bet
ter showing, IAN unequaled record of
adherence to the merit system in its
examination of appointments in the
consular service. There has been

states, mot single exception to the

Where's the Hay Fever This Summer?

not hard to bear, but the reason
therefor is perplexing. The fact re-
mains, however, that most of those
who are every summer in the throes
of hay fever and incipient asthma are
strangely free from the universal all
ment
Many learned authorities have at
tempted to explain the nature of the
singular malady, but your real hay
fever addict takes no stock in tech
nical descriptions. He knows that it
comes periodically and leaves period
ically, and that while it remains it is
violently and eXplosively in evidence
He has the consolation of knowing
that relief is near in the higher alti-
tudes, but owing to the fact the neces-
Sity of making a living interferes
with his freedom of action, that con-
ISOLATION has no practical value unless
he can avail himself of it.
Some hay fever victims fall heir
to the affection in August, but vet
Grams of the art acquire it early and
lose it late. The dandelionS start it
and the frost ends it. This summer,
however, unexpected relief has been
vouchsafed and sneezing has not been
at all popular.

PLEASANT HOME
At MODEST COST
Neat, Graceful 0ne-Floor Type
That Has Strong Appeal.
SUITABLE FOR SMALL FAMILY
This Design Provides WeI1-6uiIt, Ar
tatic Home That Will Afford Joy
Gus Spot for Any Family
Pergola Splendid Feature.


Mr.. William A Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building, FOR the readers of this
paper. On account Of his wide experience
as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he
is, without doubt the highest authority
on all these subjects. Address all inquiries
to William A. Radford No. 1927 Prairie
avenue, Chicago ILL.,, and only inclose
two-cent stamp for reply.
One of the factors which has re-
stricted home building is the popular
feeling that "a home of your own" is
solely the privilege of the moneyed
class. Now it is true that one can
we'll invest $4,000 or $4,000 in Il
modern home. But it is equally true
that comfortable well-built home can
be had for far less money. Those per-
sons who are standing on the side
lines and watching their neighbors az
open their eyes to the fact that they,
too, can build a home which will fit
their financial situation.
In deciding on the moderately priced
home there is no need to resort to
shoddy construction. In fact, such a
policy can never be considered wise
1t is possible to have a home that is
plainly stamped with quality and at
the same time keep the investment
down to reasonable figure
A design that will appeal to all who
want a home, but who are not able
to build one costing a small fortune
is shown here. There is no need to
make any apologies for this really de-
lightful little home. 1t is we'll built,
artistic in style and will afford a joy
Gus spot for any family.
This style is of the ever popular and
most frequently followed frame con-
struction, the preponderant material
in all home building. 1t has been
transformed from plain lines into
most pleasing contour by the curved
window roof treatment, type of bay
window that is sure to please. This
effect is accomplished by an over
hanging roof, which adds so little to
the cost that it seems immaterial when
the grace and beauty of the effect is
considered. Another touch of adorn-
ment is given in the pergola effect at
the side. Pergolas are in vogue, very
much so, and add a great deal to the
pleasing lines of the home.
Any woman will be delighted with
the interior arrangements, which are
compact without being crowded. The
living room is combination living
and dining room of splendid size. meas
uring 27 feet by 10 feet The kitchen
is well planned and the two bedrooms
at the rear of the home are pledge of
quiet and convenience.
Besides individual closets in the bed
room, provision has been made for a
rooius closet for which there are al
ways thousand uses II every home.
