 Of course this is but one way in which this house could be altered.
 There are several books on the subject of remodeling houses. A very interest ing one. prepared by a staff of leading architects, has lately been published. It's interesting and practical. This book suggests a wide variety of alterations which will transform such old houses at moderate costs into delightful, attrac- tive and comfortable homes. It shows six types of houses which have been built most extensively over period of many years. For each of these types there is series of suggested alterations varying in cost from two hundred to eight thousand dollars. The editor of this department will be glad to tell i'm terested readers where, for the small sum of 10 cents, this valuable and interest ing little book may be secured.
 Explanation Of Plans
 Approximate cost of the alternati0ne shown is $2,000. The main roof carried down across the whole front of the house covers wide porch. A long dormer is built in the roof which enlarges the

What becomes of the "old' houses-- the houses built before the day when American h0me-owners of moderate means took an intelligent interest in the architectural appearance of their homes?
 Some of them still stand as they were built; uninteresting, drab. and rapidly depreciating in value. Others through simple alterations have been given new beauty, new comfort and increased value by far-seeing owners. The illustration above are Interesting. The before picture shows q typical ''old'' American house. With it's sensible, simplicity of design, it offers splendid foundation for the remodeler.
 Anyone fortunate enough to have a house of this type, or one which resem- bles it, will find it a comparatively sim pie thing to bring this house up-to-date architecturally.
 Turning 10 the picture which shows an fold" house of this type after it has been remodeler, il. can be seen that the main roof hes been carried down across the whole front of the house to cover a whole porch! A long dormer has been built in the roof which enlarges the front bedrooms and provides them with large closets: and then, as the plan shows, the

OFFICERS SEEK
 FIRE BURGLARS
Houses In Central Park
 Fired And Then Ransacked


 State law enforcement officers were patroling the Central Park section Sat turday night in an effort to capture fire bandits who attempted to burslarise the house of .I H. Mcdonald, 1423 syca- more street, Central Park, by throwing . burning rag into one room and ram sacking other portions of the building while the family was engaged in en- tinguishing the fire.
 le Members of the Mcdonald family re- !. ported to police having seen a very large, black negro looking in through c window of the house shortly before the fire occurred. It is thought that when some of them screamed, the negro was frightened away and threw the burning rags into the building as he fled.
 A fire brand was also applied to a : house at 1425 Sycamore street the same 5 night, but the flame was extinguished before any considerable damage was done.
 These attempts recalled similar ones in the Central Park section three months ago at police headquarters.

BEAN KING' GOES
 WAY OF HIS FATHER
Lewis E. Sands Disappears.
 Business Strain The Cause

ALBION, N. Y, Sept. 15!-Lewis E. Sands, wholesale bean dealer and known as the worlds bean king" has van ished like his father did years ago. As a result of his disappearance, his whole sale plant and warehouses are idle. Liabilities of the company exceed assets by $300,OO0 to $500,000.
 When Henry Sands, father of Lewis, left Albion for parts unknown to his wife, two sons and two daughters were left to shift for themselves. The older Sands had eeked out living by buying small lots of beans from nearby farm CTS and picking them over in a small barn.
 Lewis Sands was 15 years old when his father left and the burden of sup porting the family fell upon him. He chose to sort beans as his father had done. Within a few years he was an employer and had interested Wall street capital in his business.
 During the World war, Sands fur nished beans for the allied armies and is said to have made more than mil lion dollars from these contracts. It is believed by friends that the strain of long devotion to business has affected ms health. 7Iq 10 aal

TOKYO, Sept. 15-Disorder and un- rest in the forces of General Chang Tsoh-Lin stationed at Mukden, princi- pal city of Manchuria, have resulted in strong protest from the Japanese con- sul there, according to reports received here today by the Japanese foreign of flee.

NEGRO SLAYER SHOT BY POSSE
Wives Of Two Assailants Of w. E. Barbee
 Are Held

TUNICA, Miss, Sept. 15-Walter Bell, negro, sought in connection with the staying of Walter E. Barbe, planta- tion manager last night, was shot to death by members of posse near here late tonight. Bell was slain when he declined to surrender to the posse.
 The negro had played "hide and seek with the posse in a thicket throughout the day. Early tonight the cordon of armed men frightened about him and a member of the party called upon Bell to surrender. He refused and volley of shots was fled into the thicket where he was hiding.
 The body of Jesse Fields, negro, with whom Barbee quarrelled yesterday, was found in a field near here today.
 According to the wives of Fields and Bell, who are in jail here, -Barbe and Fields quarrelled late yesterday over the latter's removal from the plantation of which Barbe was the manager. Barbe insisted upon the negro return ing an automobile which he had pur- chased, but which he had not paid for. Fields refused to return the car and, ac- cording to the women, struck Barbe with with a wrench.
 Barbe drew his pistol and fired upon Fields, the women said, whereupon Bell seized Fields shotgun from the auto mobile and killed Barbe. The four ne- groes escaped into the woods. Fields body was found this morning and the two women were arrested when they emerged upon the edge of thicket to reconnoiter.
 Barbe's body was found last night by a neighbor who, at the request of Mrs. Barbe, had gone in search of the plantation manager. Mrs. Barbe heard shorts some distance from her home soon after her husband had left with the statement that he was going to take possession of the automobile in which Fields was moving, and became alarmed.

 KILLED IN RACE
(Continued from page One.)


 a personal character as colorful as a plaid kilt, which made him a profitable champion in the big races.
 His first big victory was in the $10,- 900 Los Angeles race in 1920. Up to that time he had been rather obscure. In 1920 he won the speedway race at Indianapolis, the automobile derby of the world and the same season he took the French grand prix. In 1922 he won the national championship, a title which is reckoned on points, talk ing into consideration all the races that a man drives in the season. He was on his way to win the championship again in this year, too, having won the 250-mile race at Altoona, Pa, June IA, the Kansas City speedway feature of July 5 and the 500-mile Altoona race, a couple of weeks ago.
 It was in the 500tmiler in which Joe Boyer, of Chicago, was killed. Boyer had won the Indianapolis race in 1919, Rario Resta, who won it in 1916, was killed in a race in England, the day after Boyer's death.
 Shafer held his lead after the smashup and won the 150-mile drive. Bennett Hill of Los Angeles. was sec ond and Harry Hartz was third.
