ARE STRONG ON ETIQUETTE
China 10 Considered Of the
Highest Importance.

When a salesman, or person seeking
at the entrance to Chinese mer-
chants place of business, the posi-
b1lity OF an audience depends alto
eether upon how he deports himself
while awaiting the return of the card
bearer. Should he be so indiscreet as
to put one foot over the Pinch railing
that intervenes between the step and
the doorway, no manner of persuasion
can prevail upon the merchant to
grant him an interview. In case he
waits patiently In the space allotted
to unknown callers, this fact Is noted,
and he Is usually ushered in.
Once In, there is still a more deli
cate matter to be disposed of, and in
case the newcomer is ignorant of the
customs, he fares Ill with his errand.
Immediately upon the callers entering
and taking q seat, a servant brings q
serving Of tea, which includes a small
cup for each person present. The

MANY Home BUILDERS
DESIRE BRICK HOUSES

Cleveland-(A P.)=Indicating an
increased tendency to build brick
homes, $4,000 persons from all parts
of the country have written to the
Common Brick Manufacturing asso-
citation since January 1 saying they
are going to build homes and asking
for the associations plan book show
ing brick houses, according to Ralph
p. Stoddard, secretary manager of
the association.
This breaks all records Mr.
Stoddard said. !" 1t shows that more
people are interested in owning their
homes this year than at any other
previous time. Not every one who
thinks of building writes us, of
course, but assuming, conservatively,
that we receive an inquiry from one
person in a hundred that intends to
build, this would indicate that two
million four hundred thousand new
homes are now being talked of and
considered in the United States
Referring to brick construction, Mr.
Stoddard said that the United States
Bureau of Standards recently made
an announcement as to the strength
of the ideal wall . as compared with
a solid brick wall. The ideal WALL"
he. explained, was developed from
within the common brick industry to
provide a lower cost. of brick for con-
small buildings.
Although by the use of this wall
the manufacturer will sell one-third
less brick for each house built, it is
believed that by reducing the cost of
brick construction many more brick
homes will be built
The wall is constructed by laying
bricks on edge instead of on their
fiat bed, making a hollow wall
g The Breau of Standards an
nounces that when loaded eccentri-
cally the eight-inch ideal wall " is
about "a per cent stronger than a
solid brick wall of the same thick
ness" Mr.. Stoddard said When
the load is applied centrally, each
type of wall has about the same

HOLD TWO men ON
LIQUOR CHARGES
MEN BROUGHT HERE, AFTER
SPECTACULAR ARREST JUST IN
SIDE LATAH COUNTY LINE.

Frank Mayes and Jim MCGEE were
charged with the possession of in
toxicating liquor by Pat Malone, de-
putty sheriff of Boville, today in the
Latah county probate court They
are being held III the county jail
awaiting a preliminary hearing,
scheduled to be held tomorrow, at
which time the charges will be read
and pleas entered by the men,
The men, together with third COM
panion, were arrested just inside the
Latah county line by James McDon-
aid, deputy sheriff of Benewah
county, on board a Milwaukee train
Saturday evening. They boarded the
train at Clarkia with large quantity
OF liquor, estimated by the officers
at about 20 gallons, concealed in suit
cases and pack-bags. They were fol-
lowed by Deputy Sheriff Mcdonald,
who awaited for the men to make an
effort to leave the train before MAX
ing an arrest. When a short distance
from BOvill the three men attempted
to leave the train when it stopped at
a water filling tower at which time
they were placed under arrest by the
Benewah officer. One of the men,
however, made a break for liberty,
and leaped from the speeding train
before he could be intercepted. He
returned to Clarkia however, and was
picked up there by the officers, and
is being held upon charge similar
to the one placed against his two COM
panions in Moscow.
Lodged in jail
The Latah county authorities were
notified OF the arrest of the two
men Saturday evening, and the two
prisoners turned over to Deputy
ShQriff Grant Robbins and lodged in
the county jail here that night. It
is thought that they planned to leave
the train just before entering Bovill, !
and to dispose of liquor in that city {!
They had been under suspicion for /
some time, and plans were laid care |
fully by the Benewah and Bovill |
to capture the men with ,
sufficient evidence to assure convic-
ion.
The preliminary hearing of the two
men held here is scheduled for to- +
morrow when they will be given an
of entering their plea,
