Jauanese Houses by No
Means Things of Beauty

The clay walls which surround
Bslinese farm in Java are usually two
or three meters high. Very often they
rest upon foundation Of stones and
are covered with heavy layer Of
PUSHES which are to protect them from
destructive tropical rains. A door In
the wall is closed at night with wood
en- or bamboo planks. the Detroit
News states.
The walls around farms of "poeng-
gavas" or district mayors, are usually
built of more substantial material.
The same Is true of the homes OF
Ballnese princes. Yet while these
latter houses may be deliberately dec
grated they resemble the more humble
dwellings In that they are exceedingly
filthy. The numerous members Of the
family parents, brothers, sisters,
nleces, nephews, married or unmar-
ried--live in single house.
The pigs, dogs and goats found on
every Ballnese farm are kept In
separate hut. The loan huts are usu-
ally built upon wooden elevations and
are exceedingly ugly and ungainly.
On each farm one will also find
bamboo baskets to house the fowls.

Wor'e, Surely Have Keen
Sense of Money Values

If the average woman were without
a sense of money values, as charged
by budget expert, the average Amer
lean family would have less money In
the bank than II has. Eliminating the
girl who lives at home and can spend
her earnings for pretty things, and
whose extravaganza is one of the
manifestations of her youth, it would
have been falrer to say the average
housewife of America has very keen
appreciation of the value of money
and how hard 1t Is for the husband to
earn 1t. 1t Is probably quite true that
women do not budget their expenses
neither did the great United States
government until few years ago, II
tho budget expert would go into the
stores patronized by the wives of wage
earners and note with what care and
anxiety the customers spend their
money and how anxious they are TO
get full value, she might revise her
Judgment bit. With due respect to
the photographers, the women are
shrewd buyers. The hardly saved dol
lars which bulk so large In savings
fund reports and bank deposits are
where they are because the women Of
the country have put them there, often
against the will of their husbands.
The average man is much swifter
spender than woman, and despite
the jokes of the photographers and
comic artists, all women do not throw
away money ON innumerable hats and
gowns, The budget expert did less
than Justice to her own sex when she
criticized their financial acumen.-

Words We Have Clipped

A few years ago a music-hall come
dian made a great hit by clipping IA
miliar words, and we still hear him
Initiated in colloquial conversation,
London Tit-Bits says, People say "im
poss" for impossible, "biz" for busi-
ness and ''pash' for passion.
But such clipped words are not tes-
tined to appear in any dictionary, and
we must go back much farther In the
history Of words TO find that when we
say "He led the van," we mean the
vanguard; when we speak of pair
of van horses, we mean fcervan' ;
when we retire to the drawing room, y
we ought to say the Withdrawing

refer to riding "hobby-horse" when

of "tendlng" we mean attending" or

ORDER OF PUBLICATION.

Clifford Friend VS.. Mary C. Friend
No. 2572 Equity. In the Circuit Court for
Garrett County.
The object of this suit is to procure a d-
vorce a vinculo matrimonii for the plaintiff,
Clifford Friend, from the defendant, Mary G.
Friend.
The bill states that on July 3, 1919. the
plaintiff was married to the defendant in
New York City and that they resided there
until May u, 1921, when they moved to
Friendsville, Garrett county, and resided
there until July 81, 1921.
That there was one child, William H.
Friend. born of said marriage in the month
of September, 1920, and who is in the
care of his mother in New York City.
That though the conduct of the plaintiff
toward his wife, Mary G. Friend, has al
ways been kind, atfectionate and above re-
proach, the said Mary G. Friend has with
out any just cause or reason abandoned and
deserted him and has declared her intention
to live with him no longer, and that such
abandonment has continued unnterruptedly
for at least three years and is deliberate and
final and the separation of the parties is be-
yond any reasonable expectation of recon-
ciliaton.
That the said defendant, Mary G. Friend,
left the plaintiffs home on July 27, 1921,
without any just and against the earn
est remonstrance of the plaintiff and took
his little son with her, and that the plain
tiff has had no communication with his wife
since that date and has not cohabited with
her in any way, although he always
willing to contribute to the support of his
little son if he had the opportunity to do so.
That the said Mary G. Friend is a non-res-
ident of the State of Maryland and resides
at present somewhere in New York City.
The bill then prays that a decree may be
passed granting the plaintiff a divorce q
vinculo matrimonii from the defendant, that
the custody of the infant son may be be-
slowed upon the plaintiff and that the plain
tiff may have all such other and further re-
lief as his case may require.
1t is thereupon, this 18th day of August
1924, ordered by the Circuit Court for Gar
rett County, in Equity, that the plaintiff, by
causing a copy of this order to be inserted
in some newspaper published in said Garrett
county once in each of four successive weeks
before the 10Th day of September. 1924. give
notice to the said absent defendant of the
object and substance of this bill, warning her
to appear in this Court in person or by
solicitor on or before the 9Th day of Octo-
ber next, to show cause, if any she has, why
a decree ought not to be passed as prayed.
