PLACE GUARD OVER TONGUE
"For Evil Is Wrought by Want Of
Thought as Well as Want
of Heart"

Whether we give occasion on not,
there are those who In certain moods
will speak spitefully of anybody, and
there are some who go about speaking
evil Of everybody.
Yet these very people, even those
whose lips rarely open but to utter
something malicious, may have good
ness in their hearts which would pre-
vent them from malicious action. IL
we judge them by their deeds we may
find them no worse than their neigh
bors-perhaps better; If we Judge
them by their words we have to con-
denim them severely.
But In reality the least part Of the
matter is that which concerns our
selves; the serious part is that which
concerns the character Of the back
bitter. The whole character Is vitiated
and perverted by this unhappy habit I;
It proceeds from an entire lack Of self
restraint, and can only grow from bad
to worse, till the person Is slave Of
the tongue instead Of being its master.

Although this building has been de-
signed to make the most of the usual
narrow city lot, 1t will be seen that
ample provision has been made for
light and ventilation, in case other
buildings build close up to adjoining
building lines. II 1t were to be erect
ed on corner lot, or were to oc-
cupy lot Of good size, without danger
Of other buildings encroaching too
close. so much the better. In such
case 1t would naturally be better
in every way to have face brick ex-
tend around the sides also, instead OF
being merely on the front portion.
An apartment building like this Is
good for another reason, since many
property owners have graduated from
the ownership of small flat building
to being the landlords of much larger
buildings, their initial experience
standing them in good stead. With Il
good tenant proper upkeep of two
fiat building Is no more than that of
an ordinary private dwelling. In win
ter fires must be kept up; springtime
decorating must be done; proper pride
in ones place suggests some attention
to landscaping the ground with flowers
and shrubbery. All this Is work whicn
Is not doubled when we consider It in
relation to the two-flat building, for
with fha ucuol houSp owner II Is work
which must be done anyway.
One suggestion which has to do with
the interior arrangement might not be
inapropos. That Is In connection with
the fireplace. The day Is gone when
the fireplace was the support merely,

would take care of all the outstanding
Indebtedness.
Notice how. by placing the front"
entrance well back at the side, full
scope has been given to the plan OF
the sun parlor, which thus extends
across practically the whole width Of
the building. Sun parlors have be-
come an integral part Of apartment de-
sign within the past few years. They
are really. when substantially con-
structed, an extra room. In any event,
they are welcome extensions Of the
living rooms from which they usually
open out.
The floor plan Of our apartment
building Is arranged to utilize every
bit of space. The plan Is typical,

first floor. There IL an entrance YES

GREAT ARTISTS IN DISCORD
Famous italian Painters Evidently
Were Not Easy Persons to
Get Along With.

In the golden ages of art in Italy,
Michelangelo, Leonardo and Raphael
painted side by side in Florence for
a short time. There was continual dis
cord between Leonardo and Michel
angelo causing the latter to leave
Florence. Not to be outdone in cour-
tesy or dlscourtesy, Leonardo departed
for France. Although we should like
to think of the masters living in har-
mony, II would seem that considerable
friction existed among them.
Michelangelo, say his commentators,
had particularly caustlc tongue. He
could not brook criticism. Francia, the
painter and goldsmith. who went to see
q bronze statue of Pope julius ii, or
dered by that pontiff and which the
master had just finished, was thought
to have censured 1t. After calling him
Ounce before the people standing
near, Michelangelo remarked to son
of Francia, noted for his beauty: "The
living figures made by the father are
handsomer than those he paints"

Gasoline From Coal.

The conversion Of soft coal into
liquid oil was the subject Of lecture
delivered to the Mining society of the
University Of Birmingham by DIR. r.
Bergius. an eminent research chemist.
The process Is simple. To coal under
a very high pressure the gas hydrogen
is added. and the result is that 90 per
cent Of liquid oil Is obtained. BY vari-
Gus notifications Of the process 1t Is
possible to produce petrol or other
kinds Of mineral oil. A process which
would enable large part Of the Brit
ish coal reserves to be transmitted
into liquid fuel would secure Britain
against any risk Of a liquid fuel famine
and enable II to make Its own oil az
home. Hydrogen for such processes is
generally obtained by decomposIng wa

CLIMATE HAS NOT CHANGED
Weather Conditions on the Earth
Probably the Same for a Billion
or More Years.

Biologists now hold that one thou
sand million years ago-yes, one thou
sand million, not one million-the
earth had climate not greatly diff
ferent from that Of today.
The radioactive minerals and their
products in the rocks seem to prove
that the earliest known sedimentary
rocks must have been laid down one
thousand million or more years ago.
The life of that time as read from the
rocks was essentially like the lower
types that still exist. Similar she'll
fish, worms and other forms today
can live only where the temperature
does not remain permanently below
freezing and where 1t never rises
much above perhaps $50 degrees
Fahrenheit
The air of those vastly remote days
must have been much like that of to-
day, for even the lowly forms of life
require oxygen, nitrogen, carbon diox-
ide and water In order to live and
reproduce their kind. The sun itself
cannot have been greatly different
from our present sun, for otherwise
the earth's climate would have been
so different from that Of today that
1t would have been wholly incom-
patible with the forms Of life from
which all present life appears to be
descended.
So for perhaps one thousand million
years the climate Of the earth has APP
parently not passed beyond the limits
where life, as we know 1t, can -four
ish. How this Is possible, how the
sun can have remained hot. how the
earth's atmosphere can have retained
so nearly the same composition, and
how the climate can repeatedly have
changed and yet always have been
brought back almost to the same
condition. Is one of the most puzzling
of the unsolved mysteries of science.
