COCK FIGHTING OLD SPORT"
Practiced in China Since the Earliest
Recorded Times-lts introduce
ton in the West.

Cock fighting is probably the most
ancient sport i'm the world Known
since the earliest antiquity in China,
il was also popular in India, the home
Of the wild jungle cock, from which
these fiercest of all feathered fighters
were probably originally bred. From
India it spread to Egypt and all
through Asia Minor.
Its introduction To the West through
the Greeks came about in most dra-
matte manner. The story goes that
Themistocles called halt on the
march of his men against the Per-
slams because he happened TO see a
pair of game-cocks fighting To the
group about him he made great
speech. admonishing them to meet
their enemies with the same spirit. In
commeinoration Of the victory Athens
had public cock fights each year
thereafter. and from this somewhat
solemn beginning ii rapidly became a
popular sport.
Earlier mention Of II shows that
there was no sentiment against IL,
since one William Fitz Stephen tells in
some detail OF the cooking matches"
arranged by the masters at boys
schools, especially to celebrate Shrove
Tuesday. Henry VIII had n cockpit
built In his palace at Whitehall.

Three Methods of

TEXT-Having many things TO. write
unto you, l would not write with paper
and ink but l trust TO come unto you,
and speak face TO face. The children of
thy elect sister greet thee.-II John II.
We have heard of woman who
wondered what she could do for the

been quite noticeable and certainly en-
couraging, for it marks tie turn in the
situation. Lethargic for four years,
the building business is gradually COM
ing out Of it's stupor. What will be
the immediate effect of this condition?
More homes. Today there are about
/. 100000 homes needed To take care
of the population, not allowing for the
normal increase in population each
year. More homes will give some of
these 100000 families place to live
in and will help reduce the rents OF
those who choose that way.
This is the golden opportunity for
those who have been paying the fiddler
for the last three years to get even.
Those tenants who have been planning
to build home of their own but have
hesitated because of prices, now have
an opportunity. Wage adjustments
and price reductions have brought
down the cost Of building to a point

gets that appearance from the arrange
ment. The porte cochere. covered
driveway, which is becoming quite
popular since the advent of the rear
garage, adds breadth to the building
and helps TO give the impression OF
bigness. although the actual d.
mansions are only 80 by 81 feet.
This house is stucco finish over hol-
low tile, although it can be stucco over
brick or frame, depending upon the
location and price of the materials.
A front porch extends part way
around the side and leads the way 10
the front entrance which opens into
n small hall. This hall in turn opens
on one side into the living room, on
the opposite side into the dining
room.
The living room is one of ideally
shaped and sized lounging rooms, II
by % feet, with fireplace in one wall
and thanking built-in bookcases. All
along the right side Of the living room
are windows and doors insuring plenty
of daylight. The room opens out ON
To a small side porch and also IA sun
parlor which is inclosed.
And in similar manner the dining
room is provided with excellent light
ing facilities from two sides.
Directly in back of the dining room,
which is l3 by II feet, is kitchen,
l3 by 10 feet, not much space when
old-fashioned kitchens are considered,
but amply large enough for this mod
ern home because of compact arrange
ment and use of built-in features.
There is snail pantry in connection.
