An ordered, pleasing balance is the
first characteristic of this bungalow,
with the snubbed gable ends smooth
ing the roof line, and the louvred DOR
mers catching the curved line Of the
entrance portico with good effect. The
whole appearance Of the front Is
pleasant, from the striped awnings
against the white colonial shingles
and the gayly blooming flower boxes
beneath the windows and on the ter
race of the pergola at the side.
Our front doorway looks inviting.

upon the terrace Of the pergola and
makes the room attractive In the ex-
IRENE. Double doors divide the liv-
ing room from the dining room. The
latter has a built-in buffet and four
windows which give excellent light
ing. A door leads from the dining
room to the terrace, suggesting many
pleasant picnicky, meals outdoors. In
fact, there is no reason why this bun
galow should not meet with great
favor in the warm South and West.
The louvred, dormers would do their
share; by keeping the attic well ven
tilated they help keep the interior Of
the house comfortable.
The kitchen. entered directly from
the dining room, is very compact ard
has light on two sides. The sink Is
right at a window; the refrigerator
is in the pantry and has an outside
icing door. There is rear porch. and
this suggests a place for many light
kitchen tasks when the sun is the
other way and this part Of the house
is in shade.
There are three bedrooms-the rear
two being reached through the dining
room, and the one in front through a
door opening aside from the entrance
vestibule. In the case of small
family, the latter room might be con-
verified to other uses. such as library,
sewing room or Office.
The interior of bungalow like this
ought to carry out the general note
of simplicity given by the exterior.

MAGNITUDE OF NORTH STAR
Two Centuries Said to Be Required
to Bring Its Light to Our
Old Mother Earth.

Polaris, or the North star, is to navi-
gators north Of the equator the most
important of all stars. It cannot be
seen south of the equator.
Minute scrutiny shows that Polaris
Is really triple star, that is to say,
consists Of three suns, and with its
companion stars forms system of
four suns revolving about a common
center of gravity. Latest measure
ments of the distance Of Polaris

shows that the light OF this star takes
two centuries to travel to the earth
at the rate of 10000 miles a second.
so the star is 200 'light-years'' away.
Polaris Is giant sun. 1t gives
forth about 525 times as much light
as our own sun, but being so far re-
moved this fact is not apparent. If
Polaris and our sun were placed at a
distance Of 33 light-years, the sun
would be a fifth-magnitude star, just
within the range Of visibility Of the
naked eye, while Polaris would out
shine Sirius. the brightest star in the
heavens.

SHOT AT HIM BUT ROOSEVELT DIDN'T WORRY ABOUT IT
Teddy Declared He Couldn't Stop Work Every Time
 Someone Shot At Him

NEW YORK, Sept 2s.-'If I had to stop my work everytime someone shot at me, | should never get any thing done" epitomized the late Theodore Roosevelts ideas of work and bullets, according to a new story concerning the former president made public today by the Roosevelt Memorial association which is collect ing unpublished anecdotes to be pre- served at the Roosevelt home in this city.
 GolonelJames Robb Church, editor of "The Military Surgeon" who was attached to the Rough Riders as a surgeon in the Spanish American war, wrote the association that he reported to Colonel RooseVelt's head - quarters, which consisted of a table under tree, one day in July, 1898. He waited for the Colonel to finish some papers and, noticing that the enemys rifle fire, desultory a mo- ment before, had become more lively and seemed concentrated on the tree, suggested that the table be moved to better shelter position, He con ; tinued;
 Looking Ip from his near sighted writing with his delightful grin. the Colonels answered My dear fellow. if I had to stop my work every time anyone shot at me, l. should never get anything done And with that he finished his papers with as lit- tie apparent concern as though he had been in his library at Sagamors Hill"

WASHINGTON BUREAU ]
 THE AGE-HERALD
Washington. ID, C., Sept. 29

WasnlngLOn, D. 6., Sept. Ho
 The present condition of the farm CT was antici pated by democrats last winter and republicans were inform ed accordingly Senator oscar w. Un- derwood of Alabama, declared today.
 Tt was pointed out" said the sem ator, that protection would serve the farmer not at all inasmuch as the tariff prospectus put a tax on everything that he would have to buy Furthermore it was pointed out that the lack of foreign policy, which has featured the administra- ton since 1920. coupled with tariff rates which amount to a practical embargo, would eliminate Europe as purchaser of our surpluses. G. o. P. Gave No Heed. ..
 "Never was warning more com plete given. The republicans gave no heed, however. The result was between two fires"
 Senator Underwood does not ex pect President Coolidge to call an extraordinary session of Congress. At the same time, he holds that were tariff rates on those articles the farmers are compelled to buy, re- duced or removed, the farmers cost of living would be reduced. He points out, on the other hand, that such re- duction would displease big business. and for that reason, no attempt at reduction will be made.
 O O O
 Goes To Texas.
 The senator will go to Tate Springs the coming week for a few days. thence to Texas. He has yielded to repeated invitations that he visit the Lone Star state, where, 1t Is repre- sented, he Is popular. and where his friends would be glad to see him in person. The indications are that the fight for the Texas delegation will be between Senator Underwood, and former secretary of the Treasury. w. G. McAdoo.

COOLIDGE ASKED TO SUPPORT FORD BID FOR SHOALS
Many TeIegrams Delivered To President By Con-
 greSsman Oliver
WASHINGTON BUREAU I
 THE AGE-HERALD ! Washington. D. C.. Sept. 20 ]

President Coolidge has received in- numerable telegrams from citizens of Alabama. urging that Muscle Shoals be sold to Henry Ford on terms to be proposed, it is believed, and rep resenting that sentiment was over whelmingly opposed to the recent sale of Gorgas to the Alabama Power company.
 These telegrams reached Washing ton yesterday. This morning, Rep hesentative w. B. Oliver of Alabama. called at the White House and asked that the messages he delivered to the President in person. That was done,
 It is the understanding that whilc Coolidge sustains the Secretary of war in his action of selling Cor gas, he Is very favorably inclined to the idea that Ford go to Alabama and make fertilizer for the farmers. The belief is general that Coolidge does not regard it as highly impor- tant that Fords offer involve a stu pendous sum of money. That was indicated when he suggested that Ford amend his original offer by the elimination of Gorgas and reduction of his s50,000,000 in a sum identical Power company for Gorgas.
 o O o
 Farmers BeIIigerent.
 The political entity among factors moves the President, it Is indicated Every day new assurance reaches Washington that the farmers of the country are practically demanding the acceptance of the Ford offer The rejection of that offer, 1t Is in- dicated, would further enrage the farmers who are understood to be already highly critical of the re- publican regime.
 MT. Oliver was apparently very much encouraged following his visit to the White House. The flood of telegrams from Alabama was in re- sponse to number to contrary ef- feet which had reached the secretary of war and prompted him to state the belief that sentiment favored the recent sale of Gorgas.
