LOCKS ON DOORS A PUZZLE
Architects Wonder Why People Insist
on Having Locks Through.
out the House.

1t has long been question with
architects why people should have
doors throughout the house so COM
pletely equipped with locks. Why.
for example. should all the closet and
bedroom doors have locks7 Did you
ever lock your bedroom door2 Prob
ably not. 1t may be desirable to put
locks on closet doors. Do not put a
lock on door just because II Is a
door. Perhaps. after all, you will
never lock IT.. At any event, a bolt
or a thumb turn will serve all the
purposes of lock and you will not
have a key to look after.
However. 1t should be said that q
mortised latch will usually cost more
than bit key lock. OF course, If you
have small boy In the house you
will want lock on the pantry door.
Some people have thought 1t desirable
to have one closet In the house
equipped with good cylinder lock.
Such closet may come in very handy
at certain times, perhaps II for moth
ing else than as space In which to
store the family skeleron.

trim effect to the ultimate appearance
and street appearance.
When 1t comes to women of more
stately lines, there will be found cor
sets that mold the form most subtly
| to the lines that are established by
the modern tailors and dressmakers.
They have taken all this into account,
and while they cannot guarantee, in
any sense. to give smart appearance
in coat dress or suit to the un-
corseted figure they certainly can and
do put their stamp of smartness In
dressing upon the woman who comes
to them corseted in accordance with
the modern mode.
In this respect, as in many others,
the wishes Of the modern woman are
paramount Dressmakers respect her
wish to be comfortable and easy In
her dress through all the hours of the
day. They do not wish anything con-
fining In the way of corsets upon her,
but they do insist that. In order that
she shall be well dressed, she shall
wear the proper sort of corset suited
in the last line to the individual de-
mands of her own figure.
Plainness over the hips (and this
Is characteristic in the extreme Of the
modern coat dress) and the straight
ness OF the lines of the skirt, depends
supremely upon the foundation Of the
figures construction to make the cos
tune perfect thing to see.
Express individuality.
Coat dresses are indicative of the
modern mode, each one expressing
some individual idea. You can see
that they follow the same principle of
hooking at the side and that their
skirts, IL they are not trimmed, are
draped so that some line of divergence
Is given to the costume in that par
ticular.
There is the surplice style, which
will make its appeal to large ma
iority Of women. and then there ic the
design that closes in a straight line
clear to the neck, giving that straight
and one-piece look to which so many
women of the modern day are welded.
It all depends upon your figure and
your particular appreciation of style
which one of these frocks you Will
choose for your own, but you will be
making great mistake II you do not
have something of the sort as an ad
junct to your winter wardrobe, for
you will fnf that. as the season
progresses, you will wish more and
more to have something of the sort
to call your own.
These dresses, and many more that
go to make up the modern STYLES. are
statuesque in appearance. They are
built along straight an uncompromls.
ing and architectural lines. They are
essentially street things in their very
appearance, and the art that has gone
into their construction is everywhere
quite evident.
For the entirely stralght-lned coat
dresses there are collars that roll over
the shoulders or stand straight and
high about the throat. These are
made of brocades or lingerie mate
rials according to your type and the
general expression that you have
adopted for your clothes. The sur.
plice ones run to turn-back revers
nnd they fold gracefully into a clos
ing at q long wnistIine.

II we had to gather all our informa-
ton at first hand as the Spectator did,
we should know much less than we
do; but what we did know would be
more likely to be accurate.
Stefansson, the great Arctic ex-
plorer, has recently written short
article on Educated Ignorance" in
which he speaks of 'the self -perpetu-
ating quality common to the educated
mans ignorance" The primary pur-
pose Of his article Is to set us right
on the subject Of Eskimo dwellings.
These dwellings are ordinarily made
Of "sod and wood. earth and wood,
wood and moss, wood and skins, or
combination perhaps of bones, stones
and wood" They are not made of
snow except during emergencies, such
as being caught abroad in storm.
Practically all textbooks state that
Eskimos live in snow houses, and
leave the impression that all Eskimos
live In such houses all the time Many
Of them state, too, that the tempera-
ture inside the houses cannot be al
lowed to go above 80 degrees, or the
house would melt. Stefansson says he
has been in snow house when the
temperature indoors was GO degrees
above zero, and that the roof was per-
fectly dry.
Take the matter Of the porcuplne as
q further example. Some hundreds of
years ago book on natural history
stated that the porcupine threw his
cuills at his pursuers. The statement
has been disproved by scientist after

Heep right on copying the error from
older books. 1t is possible to find
books Of quite recent date that say
porcupines throw their quilts, yet the
best.informed scientists say such a
thing is pure nonsense.
There Is, too, the matter of the
ostrich and his habit of burying his
head in the sand when danger threat
ems him. Explorers who have spent
years in Africa declare the ostrich
never buries his head In the sand un.
der any circumstances. I.
1t always comes as something of
shock to me to find that some bit of
information that have clung to for
years is erroneous. Time after time

"And truth 10 this to me, and that

A color-blind person sees neither
red nor green. but neutral color.
You say the grass Is green and he
agrees but the color you see as you
look at the grass Is not the color he
sees as he looks at 1t. Green Is one
color to you and another color to him
yet each one takes 1t for granted that
the other one sees just what he sees.
for the color blind person rarely
knows that he is color blind.
A near-sighted man and a far-sight-
ed man will look at the same hillside
and see two totally different pictures.
One will be but greenish blurr; the
other may see grove Of blossoming

about the hillside arises, each man
will believe that the other has seen

color blind and mentally near-sigated.
Unfortunately the tests for defective
mental vision are not so simple and
reliable as those for defective physical
vision. Most Of us go through life
without any suspicion of our infirmity.
Defects of mental vision are due to
ignorance, to prejudice, to race, TO
faulty education, and to such like
causes. To such defects are due po-
litical strife, religious prosecutions,
wars, and all the other di3agreements
that mar life.
II each man saw the truth as his
neighbor sees 1t, there would be no
cause for disagreement. We are all,
however, in the same state as the
blind men who went to see the ele-
phant-we see but part of the truth,
while fancying we see 1t all. You re-
member that when the blind men be-
gan to examine the elephant, in order
to find out what the animal was like,
one caught hold Of the trunk. and
thought the elephant resembled a
snake; another got hold of the tail,
and thought the elephant resembled
rope; third got hold of leg, and
thought the elephant resembled tree
trunk, while fourth leaned against
the elephants side, and insisted the
animal resembled q wall.
While 1t is highly improbable that
anyone of us will ever be able TO learn
the whole truth, the real truth, on all
subjects, all of us can at least remem-
ber the Injunction of Epictetus:
"When anyone, then, assents to what
Is false, be assured that he does not
willfully assent to 1t as false; but
what is false appears to him to be
true"

Sperber told the police the men were
somewhat interested in the Bergdoll
case.
The newspaper articles associate
the 100000 francs found in the pos
session of Hoover Griffis with Sper

self and Carl Schmidt. They also
assert that among Gri1Fis' papers
was found letter from an American
Legion post at Columbus, Ohio, in
which the commander wishes Griffis
success in his enterprise. From this
the writer's deduce that Griffis, who
is under arrest, went to Paris on

X-P0L|CE CHIEF
FIGURES IN LIQUOR
WAR IN SAVANNAH

SAVANNAH, Ga, Aug. 2O.-The
name of James A. Woods, former
chief of police of Savannah, came
into the governments inquiry into
the liquor situation in Savannah to-
day, when Joseph 3. Berner and
Sam Berner went on trial in the
federal court charged with violating
the prohibition act. Franklin l..
Dodge, a member of the intelligence
unit making the cases in Savannah,
was the principal witness for the
government. He swore that he, an
other government officer and Woods
went to the place Of the Berner's,
where they were introduced by
Woods as his friends. They bought
$40 worth of liquor, rendering $50
bill in payment. Sam Berner took
the money, he said, and leaving the
store got it changed and rang up
the cash register.
Aaron kravitch, attorney for the
Berners, asked if it wer% true that
the government officers were drink
ing. The witness said no, but that
it was his belief Woods had few
:" $500
drinks.
The effort Of the defense was to
prove that the Berners did not have
any liquor in the store, but wenS
out and bought it purely as mat
ter of accommodation to the friends
of Woods.
There were a number of otherr de
PENDANTS caught in the recent raid
to be given a hearing during the
day.
Woods, whose connection with the
gaining of evidence first became of
ficially known today was for several
years chief of police of Savannah.
He was indicted by federal grand
jury several years ago for taking
of protection money from liquor
men. Kea, q deputy United States
marshall indicted with him was
convicted, but Woods has never been
tried.
Much of the time of the court was
taken up today hearing pleas Of
guilty in liquor cases. Fines Of
$2,175 were imposed. two of the de-
defendants being women, William
Mock was sent to the federal prison
in Atlanta for a year and a day and
Thomas Patterson received a SEN
tence of four months in Jail.
All pther defendants pleading
guilty escaped with fines.
