involves an expenditures of something like sixteen or eighteen thousand dol lars. For this reason many real es- tate experts advise people who own solidly constructed old houses to hang on to them and bring them up to date. In other words, don't move-improve.
 In the larger illustration above is an example of what wonders few little changes accomplish. An attractive entrance porch of Colonial design was added. Carefully chosen shutters added charm. A color scheme of white and green with a. green roof brought out the good lines of the house. A little painting and repapering finished the work. For only fraction of what it would have cost to buy new, house and move. into it, the old house has been transformed into modern home that anyone might be proud to live in. And it has been largely increased in value as well-all without changes in the floor plans.

WALES IFS A SPECIALIST
The PrinCb Has Studied And Learned
 His Royal Business

It is permissible to smile, just a lit- tle and very kindly, at the statement of the. Berengara's chief engineer as to the technical knowledge displayed by the Prince of Wales in the course of a visit to the steamers motor machin- cry. He could go through an exanFi nation in engineering with better marks than many who call themselves ef~ gineers," declared this acknowledged expert.
 The statement was not altogether in- cautious. for it implied the existence of those who only call themselves engi- neers and therefore do it without right. What the officer meant, no doubt. was that the prince showed an intelligent and more or less enlightened interest in the big machines he saw, and asked questions that were worth answering, which is more than can. be said, prob ably, of many visitors to the engine room.
 The good impression made by the prince is evidence that he has studied and learned his own royal business, which is not to be an engineer, but to be able to meet almost anybody, includ- ing specialists in many lines, with a manifestation of appreciation and an understanding of their work and achievements. Many men in public life have attained ability, thanks partly to natural talent and partly to assiduous preparation.
 The late Theodore Roosevelt was notable for this sort of skill, and really did possess as the result of his omniv. orous reading not little real knowla edge on an amazing number of subjects The ex-kaiser aspired eagerly to tllf Sameeminence. He received innumef!! able tributes from experts on his erudis tion, but both its reality and its extent were dubious, and later, in moments ut confidence, the experts often laughed 2. him whom, to his face, they had creditcI with next to universal k nowledge. .,,v New York Times, ...

 Sam Terry, beloved "Si-Ksela' and squawman of the Sioux, lies buried in the Rosebud Indian reservation in St. Francis, $. D: Full military honors were accorded the old United States scout and former Indian fighter by the American Legion as his body was low cred to it's last resting place.
 Samuel Mark Terry, nephew, of Gen eral Terry, of Civil War and Indian war fame, was born in New York, Sep tember 1, 1880. Sam joined the United States army in 1858 ant a gunshot, wound received in the e'Civil War caused him to wear q silver plate in his throat for the rest of his life.
 Handicapped by the wound and un- daunted by loss of his toes by freezing while he was engaged in army meSsen- ger and scout work for Uncle Sam around the army posts in the land of the Sioux Indians, sam Terry con tinued in the government service until romance conquered him.
 His detachment was about to attack an Indian village in 1867, with orders to kill every man. During the fighting fiures were seen hidin in the tall grass. One of the soldiers was about to shoot when Sam ordered him to wait. Search of the grass revealed two Indian girls. After the attack one of these persisted in pursuing Terry until he became a sQuaw man and a real lover of the Indians.

All oyer the country there are peo- pie who own plain, unattractive old fasioned houses like the one in the smaller illustration. Many of these families are planning and saving money to buy more modern and convenient home.
 From "dollars-and-cents" point of view, however, this is often short sighted policy. Shortsighted, because these old houses, no matter how out of Style they may be are usually com fortable and well-built from cellar to garret. They represent sound value. To buy or build new house Chat would have cost only about eight or nine thousand dollars ten years ago) now

AN AXIOM OF WORLD TRADE

A world in which every country eX- ported and none imported would be q physical impossibility It is impossible to conceive even of situation in which every country increased it's exports without increasing it's imports. The in crease in the exports of one country must mean an exactly equal increase in imports somewhere else. Not only is it true, in the broad sense, that exports must be paid for with imports, but it is true from the world standpoint that imports and exports are simply two names for exactly the same thing.
 To say, therefore, that in world trade neither exports nor imports can in crease flone, but that both must in crease together and to the same extent, is to assert merely the fundamental axiom that thing is equal to itself.- New York Sun.
