For over three years the country
has eXpectantly looked forward to a
healthy resumption of home building.
Time and time again we have been dis
appointed, in 1919 again in 1929 and
then in 1921 when it was almost con-
sidered a foregone conclusion that the
revival was at hand But many causes
entered into this depression. High
prices of material at first, then bust

FAMOUS WORDS OF INDIANS
According to Ohio Writer, They Were
Mostly Delivered on the Soil
of That State.

Whether actually made. or placed
in their mouths by others, the most
noted of the speeches of Indians, as
preserved in literature, are said to
have been delivered on Ohio soil, says
J. HI. Galbraith, in the Columbus Dis.
patch. 1t was in his cabin on Darby
creek. near Plain City, that Chief Te-
caughtretanego, too i'll himself TO go
hunting, gave this optimistic parting
address to his captive, young Smith,
who was starting on the chase:
Brother, be assured that you will
be supplied with food and that just
in the right time. y But you must
continue diligent in the use of
means. Go to sleep. Rise early in
the morning and go a hunting; be
strong and exert yourself like a man
and the Great Spirit will drive it your
way
1t was when Cornstalk had re-
turned from the battle of Point Pleas
ant to Picaway Plains that he said
in addressing his fellow-chiefs, urging
the making of peace: "What will you
do now? The big knife is upon us,
and we shall all be killed. I'll go and
make peace"

ed with renewed life and bids fair to
continue all through the winter.
The people who have been planning
to build homes can now go ahead and
build with certain feeling of securl-
ty. Moreover they can build a house
now for much less than short time
ago. There will be many small homes
built during the next few years.
Many prospective homebuilders will
be interested in the design shown
here. This is a well built home of
very attractive exterior appearance
and an efficiently arranged and pro-
portioned interior. One of the most
striking features of the house and one
that will appeal to the man and wife
who have three or four "kidlies" is
the spacious open front porch and ter
race extending across the front of the
house and partly around the side. 1t
reflects comfort and hospitality. A SUI
perficial glance at the home would
give emo the impression that 1t is very

concrete steps mark the approach to
the porch.
This is small and economical home
that would do any average family
proud and embodies all of the COM
forts of more pretentious establish
ment. 1t is permanent in makeup,
a house that will endure for several
generations and not in any way freak
ish in design. 1t is recommended to
the homeseeker as a real good invest
ment and an excellent design. More
homes of this type will go long way
in establishing a balance in the hous-
ing situation and bringing living costs
back several steps towards normally.

The government forest rangers re-
port great number of beavers this
year, and the indications are that there
will be plenty of skins for furs unless
the laws which now protect the ami
mails are greatly relaxed. Two years
ago in the Cochetopa forest in Colo

accentuate that line, far from stealing
into any less favored paths. Don't

line had infinite possibilities of devel-
opment. We think that every known
angle has been exhausted, and then
20 and beholdi there appears a totally
original conception of the same line.
The newer frocks are thrilling, that is
all there is to it. And the prayer Of
the American woman, that the straight
silhouette at last seems to have its an
swer always in the affirmative.
Gowns grow more picturesque as
time goes on, even though their gen.
eral outlines remain quite according to
established precedent.
The black and white dress follows
that liking for the strong contrast of
the two colors which is so character
istic of Partisan dresses just now. Only
the sleeves and the portion Of the
bodice from which they spring are Of
white-white georgette. The rest of
the gown is made of beautiful soft
black velvet, trimmed around the bot
tom of the skirt with chenille lace
decoration.
Cuffs Are Attractive.
The, cuffs of the sleeves are, per-
haps, the most attractive part of this
dress, for they accentuate that width
about the lower portions of the sleeves
which, just at the present time, adds
an understandable air of smartness to
any gown. There are those who pre-
dict that the wide sleeve will shortly
disappear from fashions ways-in
fact that 1t has already run it's course.
But it cannot be said in regard to the
newer models that this statement has
been in the least way demonstrated.
The cuffs seem to be even wider and
more picturesque.
Then the French are so pleasant
about everything they design. They
have actually managed to create long
sleeves that really do not get in ones
way, and that by reason of the subtle
things they do to them. For instance,
the ends of the longer sleeves are
more apt than not to be decorated with
some very heavy trimming on the end
of lightweight material. Now, this
weighing does real service in that
it automatically drops back the sleeve
as the arm is held up. So, as one
reaches for something, one finds that
the sleeve is being miraculously lifted
from all contact with bric-a-brac along
fhe way, just because the heavy cuff
is realizing it's own part in the game.
You will find this happening over
and over again on the French dresses.
Do not be afraid to try wearing one of
them, for your imagination has been
wrong in picturing their awkwardness.
They are so graceful, indeed, that they
promptly impel you to throw your
arms about in competition with the
Rhythmic dancers. You become fasci-
mated with the manners of your own
sleeves, and it seems interesting to see
JUST how cieyerly they will behave.
The sleeves on a coat are made on
this same general plan. and with the
same subtle reasoning lying behind the
manner of their fur edging. Sleeves of
this character will be seen on many
OF the new afternoon coats, and all
one can say for them Is that they GER
itainly have a way of making the coat
about as graceful garment as has at
any time been seen In any wardrobe.
The fact is that the modern coat is
running close second to the gown for
interest in design and for general be-

shingles are used above that to the
gables on front and sides. The wood
trim throughout is of artistic treat

al appearance of the house. Broad

gray stockings with black shoes, which
do so much to accentuate the color
scheme by repetition. And gray suede
gloves are just about as good as any
thing that has ever been popular for
the covering of the hands. They are
much more in key than white ones
could be and not nearly so difficult to
keep looking the pink of perfection.
Color In these afternoon wraps is
not so greatly in evidence as might
have been imagined from advance re-
ports. Still, one sees coats of deep
purple, and those of the reddish tones
which are awfully good looking. A
deep red Kasha cloth cape, trimmed
with wide collar end cuffs of caracul
is an interesting importation.

comingness. In the past there has been
some reason TO complain that coats
were clumsy In appearance or that
they ran to the other extreme and
were overdone In the way OF ginger
bread trimmings. But now all of that
has been artistically overcome in both
directions. The coats and wraps
strike that happy medium of design
which is SO desirable and so filled with
charm.
adays should not be just as becoming
as the frock. Sometimes it is even
more So But 1t is an inspiring expert
ence for any woman to be able to wear
a beautiful gown covered by beauti-
full wrap, knowing in her heart that
when she sees fit to remove the outer
garment she has in store for all on
lockers complete change of scene.
The coats are warm, too, by reason
of their featherweight and wooden in
terlinings. There is nothing obvious
about w0olens in these modern days
nothing too plain and unbeautiful.
They are all concealed under soft chif-
fOns and silks and velvets and duve-
tynes. But they are on hand none the
less to defy any cold breeZes and to
make the winter weather pleasant no
matter what the social occasion. Time
was, you know, when if one cared to
be interesting looking in winter then
one made up ones mind to freeze
gently but willingly. There was no
chance for gracefulness combined with
warmth. But now all that has changed.
and the more delicate wrap looks the
more one may be sure that it has
tucked away in its innards some fairy
paddings that guarantee it for winter.
OF Heavy Black Satin.
One of DrecoIl's coats is made Of
heavy black satin, and for it's lining
there is all that entrances we have
just been describing. The fur about
the neck and sleeves is gray, the EN-
broidery which is concentrated on the
sleeves is also done in gray, and the
lining, to repeat the general color
scheme, is a soft gray crepe.
This desire for black and gray has
become general one during this pres
ent winter season. In all sorts and
conditions of wraps and ways the
union of the two colors is demon
strated. Really, one feels out of the
general running if one has not at least
one costume made of these two colors.
Each of them seems to give life to the
other, and it may be said that seldom
has combination Of two shades be-
come so generally fiattering.
The black coats trimmed with cara
cul or squirrel or any of the other
gray furs are much in demand. The
blacks are those materials which have
thick, heavy maps, and which by rea-
son of this texture manage to look so
much blacker than the usual blacks.
There is nothing dingy or dull about
their surfaces, for they shine and gilt
ter in the sunlight, raising them COM
pletely out of the funereal class. Black

black, but is really color. especially

CORA
By MILDRED MARSHALL

- modern derivative Of ancient
Greek. Many feminine names In
Greece were merely mems names
with a feminine termination In "a
or "e," irrespective of their meaning,
and this is true Of Cora, which. quaint
ly enough. signifies maiden
However she Is derived, Cora Is the
most feminine Of names, and was
given to some Of the most alluring
heroInes Of romance. Originally the
name was taken from PersephOne's
title, 'Kore." a maiden, the Boetian
poetess who won a wreath Of victory
at Thebes. COrinna was the next
step In the evolution Of Cora, and she
came about through the literary habit
Of reyiylng old Greek names, a fetish
with enterprising writers In search Of
q fresh title for a heroine.
Madame de Stael named her bill
liant COrinna after the Boetian poet
ess, above mentioned, and that estab-
hshed her fame forever In France,
where she has been handed down
from one French maid to another
through generations Of poetic fancy.
In Italy she becomes Corinne through
the "Henghist," a chronicle Of the
Middle ages. Lord Byron makes her
