occupied the stage for more than three
hours. More than 700 persons blend
ed their talents in this artistic creation
From the coronation of the King
and Queen of Peachland on through
the final scene of the Peach of the
Future, episode followed episode in
splendid order and arrangement. Col
ortul beyond description, each scene
adding to the beauty of the whole,
the story of Georgia's pride was un-
folded amid glorious surroundings and
with the clearness of summer morn.
The future disclosed Georgia reve1-
ing in a sea of blossoms.

institution, highly-fitting and worthy,
an event purely Georgian and splen-

SEPARATE SHEEP FROM
GOATS TO RELIEVE TRAFFIC

A novel plan is proposed to relieve
the traffic congestion in downtown
Boston, city of narrow and crooked
streets. 1t is to separate cars into
odd and "even", using the last
the "odds" to come down town on
"odd' dates, while the "evens" can
visit and shop on "even" dates.
Naturally, the proposition has met
with tremendous opposition on many
grounds to which the proponents of
the idea retort that it is better to be
allowed down town three days week
than no days at all, and that is some
thing isn't soon done to relieve the

WHAT GOOD ROADS WILL DO

What good roads will do is wildly
indicated by the great increase in
West Virginia automobile registration
for 1923. The percentage of increase
is 400 the average for the United
States is % per cent West Virginia
has been busi1y engaged in good-road
building, and now has a fine "back-
bone" system.
The welfare of the people of any
State is becoming more and more
linked UP with motor transportation.
That the growth of motor transporta-
ton depends entirely upon the extern
sion of hardsurfaced roads is we'll
indicated in these figures.

TELEPHONES ON
DECREASE UNDER
SOVIET REGIME

Russia has only 10000 telephones
to serve a population of 100000
people, according to the latest figures
available. In other words, there Is
one telephone for every 1,169 people
in the Soviet Republic, as against one
telephone for every eight people in
the United States at the same date.
The Russian government telephone
system showed an actual net decrease
during a single recent year Of about
$4,000 telephones, and the mileage of
telephone wire in service also dropped
substantially.
During 1922 the population of
Petrograd increased from about 700,-
900 to over 100000; but the num-
Der of telephones in operation in that
city decreased in the same period
from about 10000 to 1896. Even in
Moscow, the capital and center Of
Soviet activity, the number Of tele-
phones fell during 1922 from over
$4,000 to about $4,000, although the
from 1,028,21S to 1,511,026.
At last accounts, there were more
telephones in the City Of Pittsburgh.
Pennsylvania, which has a population
OF less than 1000, 900, than there were
in the whole vast Republic of Russia
and Siberia, with over 31,00O,00 In.
habitants.

BELL SYSTEM
EXTENDS IFS AERIAL
CABLE FACILITIES

The rapidly increasing number Of
long distance telephone messages
transmitted daily is taxing the ca
pacity of the existing open wire lines
and is making necessary the extern
sion of the aerial cable system of the
Bell System, according to statement
from the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Co. These toll cables are
a means of eliminating the Interrupt.
ton of service due to sleet and wind
storms and, in addition, they have
proved an economical method Of pro
viding large number of circuits.
In cases where aerial toll cable has
already been placed, it would be Inn.
practicable to provide an equivalent
number Of circuits in open wire con-
struction. To provide this number
OF circuits in open wire construction
would require forty-eight crossarms
which, If installed according to stand
ard practices. would require six or
eight separate pole lines carrying re-
spectively eight or SIX crossarms each.
The majority Of the cables already
placed are of maximum size equiva-
lent to about $50 pairs of 1s.gauge
conductors. but since they usually con.
tain some pairs of larger gauge and
some pairs for use as four wire cir
cults, each cable might be estimated
as equivalent to about 240 open wire
circuits.

spoiled because the wrong curtains and
the wrong lamps are chosen. -
It is not needful that lamps should

that they should be pleasingly related.

and Paint Help
Cut Down LIGHT Bills

Fresh paint and varnish upon wells
and floors and the attendant response
Of lighting to the rejuvenated sur
faces IS very interesting study.
A dark or dull interior which has
been given coat Of light paint will
not require nearly the same amount Of
light as formerly.
Cutting down the light bills by paint
Ing the interior walls with light re-
fecting shades has been done by many
factory owners so as to provide their
workers with efficient lighting, q prime
requisite to good work. One such fac
tory owner spent $50, 900 in doing just
this. with results which more than jus
titled the expense involved.
Similar treatments can frequently
be given to the dark rooms Of home
and the expense will be more than
justified In the added cheer Of these
rooms both by day and by night.

The bungalow is probably the most
nearly American type Of residence
architecture. Although the word it.
self is adopted from the Orient of
Kip;ing, this type Of architecture has
reached its highest development in
America where it has enjoyed an in
creasing popularity because Of its con-
venient size and its decorative posi-
bilities.
A great majority Of the bungalows
built in the United States. and espe-
cially those erected when this type of
house was introduced first, were great

where they first gained roothold. But
the bungalow has shown itself to be
capable Of assuming the characteris-
tics Of almost any type Of architecture
und has been much varied.
1t Is particularly fitting that the
colonial type Of dwelling design. so
conspicuous in the homes of the set
tiers of the eastern coast Of North
America, should be combined with the
contribution to the American home
building which entered the country
from the West. In the home illustrat-
ed here, this Is done.
This charming little home Of FIVE
rooms fairly radiates comfort and
cleanliness. 1t will lend itself to in
expensive construction and at the same
time preserve its pleasing appearance.
Extra wide clapboard is used for the
siding Of the building, in keeping with
its architectural design. The arc In
the roof above the doorway adds an
inviting touch which seems to suggest

Wire Chiefs Desk And Test Board
Oftentimes the wire chief, seated
at his desk in the terminal room OF
the central Office, where he and his
assistants are constantly busy with
plugs. lamps, meters and testing ap-
paratus of all sorts, Is able to detect
trouble and have it attended to before
the subscriber is even aware that any
thing is wrong.
1t Is the duty Of the wire chief to
keep himself informed as to what is
happening to the wires coming into
and leading out of the exchange, and
it is on the information he gets that
repairs are made and lines are kept
in proper shape. Routine tests of the
equipment are made at frequent in
tervals.
If you think your complaints go into
the waste paper basket, you should
watch a wire chief and his men at
work. The system is too complicated,
and the consequences might be too far
reaching, to allow even the most trivial
complaint to be ignored.

hospitality. The light above the door,
In keeping with the rest of the house,
carries out this suggestion. The win.
dow boxes dress the whole front Of
the bungalow immensely.
The interior arrangement is eminent
ly "liveable." The door from the porch
opens directly into the living room,
the largest room in the house. This
Is Of pleasing proportions, Is by II
feet, with the fireplace between win
dows at the end Of the room further
from the door. It Is well lighted from
two sides and could be made most in
viting through proper arrangement Of
furniture.
A sunny dining room isra pleasure
in any home and adequate lighting for
the dining room in this home is as
sured through the windows on three
sides. This room opens directly on the
kitchen, which is Of an efficient size
and Is well planned. The adjoining
pantry Is lighted by single window
and Ia arranged SO that its convent
ence will be appreciated by the house
keeper.
The two bedrooms, with the bath
between them, are pleasing in that they
both are lighted and ventilated from
two Sides Both have adequate closet
space. Entrance to the bedroom hall
may be gained either from the living
room or from the kitchen. This hall
also gives access to the basement
stairs. The bathroom shows q cona-
pact and practical arrangement Of
units.
Since cost Of labor varies so much
in different communities and material
prices must be varied by the distances
the material must be shipped. it is Inn
possible to give definite price which
would approximate the cost Of this
home in all parts of the United States.
But this can be learned from the archi-
tect. contractor or building materials
dealer in your community. These men
constantly are In touch with condi-
lions and know what building costs In
their communities are.

Coloring Stucco

The preferable method Of coloring
stucco is by using white portland ce-
ment and col0red sand or stone chips.
These give most delicate and interest,"
ing color effects. and yet at the same
time give a color which IL absolutely
permanent. This method also has the
value Of giving a texture which In
