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
hers which ] 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 1t. 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 its day 1t was the most magnificent
of all Chinese temples. For this pur"
pose he ordered 2S Of the largest
round timbers that could be found In
America. l donated these timbers and
sent them over on the deck Of the
M. s. Dollar. They ran In size as
long as 125 feet, and 4S inches in d.
ameter at the butt they were perfect
ly straight, and as fine pieces as ever
left America.
"At Shanghai the timbers were put
on a 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
N side to carry on his right shoulder,
and his associate on the other side,
on his left shoulder"

PLEASANT HOME
At MODEST COST
Neat, Graceful 0ne-Floor Type
That Has Strong Appeal.
SUITABLE FOR SMALL FAMILY
This Design Provides Well-Buiit, Ar
tistic Home That Will Afford JOY
Gus Spot for Any Family
Pergola Splendid Feature.
BY WILLIAM A. RADFoRo

Mr.. William A. Radford win 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 Manufactures. he
is. without Doubt. the highest authority
on all these subjects. Address all inquiries
to William A. Radford. No. 1897 Frair.e
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 - home of your own is
solely the privilege of the moneyed
class. Now IL is true that one can
well invest $4,000 or $4,000 i'm u
modern home. But 1t is equally true
that a comfortable well-built home can
be had for far less money. Those per-
ons who are standing sOn the size
lines and watching their neighbors az
quire a home of their Own ought 10
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 a reasonable figure.
A design that will appeal to all who
want q home, but who are not able
to build n costing a small fortune
is shown here. There is no need, to
make any apologies for this really de
lightful little home. 1t Is well 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 on
struction. the preponderant material
In all home building. 1t has been
transformed from plain lines into a
most pleasing contour by the curved
window roof treatment, u 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 II seems lmmaterfal when
the grace and beauty OF the effect is
considered. Another touch of adorn-
ment is given In tie pergola effect at
the side. Pergolas are In vogue, very
much so. and add a great deal to the
pleasing lines of the hone.
ANY woman will be delighted with
sthe interior arrangements. which are
compact without being crowded. The
living o Is a combination living
and dining oom Of splendid size. meas
uring n feet ny 10 feet. The kitchen
is well planned and the two bedrooms
at the rear Of the home are a rsedse OF
quiet and convenience.
Resides individual closets In the bed
room, provision has been made for a
-coniy closet for which there are al
ways a thousand uses In every home.
