The Present Congress.

The present congress will make
history. 1t will also dig some
political graves. There is much
constructive work to be done, and
the opportunity is at hand to dc
that work.
But the session has begun amidst
jealousy and pickering, and the
outlook is not bright. Each
group is attempting to supplant
the other groups and grab off the
plums.
That isn't the purpose for which
we elected them, but it is the re-
suit we must expect and which we
must accept-until the political
graves are filled. Since we can
never agree upon any subject our
selves we can hardly expect con-
gress to improve upon the example
we set before it.
That's the situation in nut
shell. Watch it grow, and let S
hope that it doesn't explode.

Invest Your Money AT Home.

International bankers and bond
houses are importuning the Ameri-
can public to invest its money in
foreign bonds. and many are doing
SO. But are such investments a,
this time wise2 Let us see.
During the past few years
hundreds of thousands of Ameri-
cans have invested good American
money in German marks at low
figure, expecting to become sud
denly prosperous when the mark
went to par again. But the mark
didn't go up. Instead it went
steadily down, until today it is
hardly worth the paper ON which it
is printed.
With the exception of England +,
Europe is dotted with countries
that owe the American government
vast sums of money, about seven
billions of dollars, on which not
even the interest is being paid. A
foreign government bond is no
more secure than the government
that issues it. We have an illustr-
alton of that fact in the utter COL
lapse of the mark.
If these foreign securities were
as valuable as bondhouses represent
| them to be the rich men Of those
countries could and would absorb
the NOR at least majority of them
Do you see them doing anything OF
the kind9 If foreign countries can
not or will not pay the interest on
what they already owe us is it the
part of wisdom for US to pour more
good money into bottomless pit:
There are plenty of opportunities
in this country for the investment
of every dollar that is available for
that purpose, and American in
vestments are the soundest secur.
tiles in the world today. Wher
Europe makes an honest effort tc
pay us what they owe us it will be
time to think again of sending
money aboard. But until ther
wisdom warns us to keep thai
money at home.

This house avoids the common
place in design; in every detail 1t
shows unusual character; it is a
house that would stand out in dis
tinction from its neighbors.
Yet there is nothing freakish
about the design: it is. throughout,
in the best Of taste and, at the
same time. it is unusual and dds
tinctive. 1t follows the Old Eng
lish type.
The architects have so handled
the roofs that pleasing variety
in form and outline is obtained.
The entrance gable has the roof
caves brought down to the tops Of
the first story windows. and the
plain stucco walls of this gable
form a fitting setting for the
heavy oak doorway. The half
timbered gable gives an interesting
variety.
The walls of the house are fin
ished in stucco, preferably white;
the roof is slate Of various cUlors
and sizes: the chimney is hard
burned red brick. and the timber
work, window frames, etc, should
be stained weathered gray pref
erably quite dark. This would give
pleasing color scheme that would
be quite in. keeping with the de-
sign. All windows are of the case
ment type.
The plans of this house present
livable arrangement of good-slze
rooms, the result of thorough
study on the part Of the architects.
The necessary coat closet and
the Very desirable toilet room are
both provided near the, entrance
door, where they are most conven-
lent.
A small stair hall gives entrance
to the living room, the dining room.
