Cheering the North Room,

That bugaboo of the household, the
tiny north bedroom, which always
seems cold and cheerRss, finds its
space increased and the light doubled
when the proper furnishings are
placed within. There is no better fur
niture for this purpose than ivory
enamel
With ivory walls and a plain
mauye rug the walls of the room
seem to be fairly swept away to
give all the room one could wish. To
ksep the room from having the white
look OF a hospital operating room,
however, warm colors, such as red,
yellow, orange or red violet, should
be introduced In the upholstery Of
the little chair, in the window hang
ings and in the little accessories
such as vase and lights.
The vanity dresser is doubly well
come In the small bedroom for the
sake of its ample stowaway room in
the deep drawers. This addition was
made to the suite when an original
French model was copied, for milady

wells and gloves in more restricted
areas.

"What Is Life of City,"

"In a community in the East, a
group of men were met together to
consider the menace to the health and
enjoyment Of the citizens by the smoke
nuisance. One business man was OPP
posed to regulation, and put his OBJ
lection In single revealing sentence:
The smoke may be the death Of the
people, but it Is the life of the city,
THE life Of the city and by that he
meant the only kind of city he could
think of, city Of commercial enter
prise, of hasty methods Of getting rich,
of bank balances built up at no matter
what impoverishment of finer things.
For the real city, the city Of the inner
values of mems souls, of beauty and
spaciousness and joy, he had no con-
ception. When men begin to love
beauty and become sensitive to the
fine ideals which a desire for beauty
creates, they will not tolerate the
stupid perversion Of reality, which
would find the life of the city In the
death of the people,. They will insist
that whatever advantage be held In
allegiance, light and life and cleanness
for men and women shall be pre-
served"

p Building
Many Changes Made in
American Architecture

American architecture has gone
through a good many phases since the
original log huts were built by the
early settlers in Virginia and Massa-
chusetts. Present-day home building,
however, is far advanced in point of
beauty over any period in the coun-
try's history.
In the beginning Of the Eighteenth
century the general rule was for I'M
pretentious houses, and there are
many survivors today of the early
homes that were put up in this period
all over the New England landscape.
During the Revolution there was a
general lull in building, with a great
revival Immediately after the war.
The Revolutionary period is dis
tinguished by the increase in the
number of pretentious homes. The
country was growing richer and peo-
pie were able to put more money into
their homes.
With the general activity in build
ing that came with the end of the Rev.
olution there grew up a demand
for information regarding architec-
ture. This was met by the publica-
ton of a number Of books concerning
architectural forms and details, one
of the chief Of which was Asher Ben
jamin's Country Builders Assist
ant" published in 1907. These books
gave details of classic and Renais-
sance architecture, and actually start
ed the study of architecture in
this country. Architects soon began
to appear, men whose individuality
marked their work, bringing their
names, with their designs, down to
the present time.
The study of classic forms soon
started the Greek revival, the next
step in our architectural development,
which in turn was followed by the
Queen Anne" cottages and the Vic
tOrian era Organized architectural
education freed US somewhat from
these styles, took us through the
French influence of the nineties and
brought us to the present period OF
such complete information that we
are now able to design in any style
a client wants with fairly complete
success.
Through all this confusion there
persists a very genuine interest and
appreciation of our first periods and
the simple colonial house of the
Eighteenth century will continue to be
an inspiration.

The Congo Gorilla.
CHerbert Beards!ey. in Our Dumb Ami
malS.)

(Herbert Beards!ey, in Our Dumb AM
malS.)
OF all the jungle creatures of
Africa, undoubtedly the least known
and most elusive is the gorilla. This
animal. along with the okapi, solves
one of the many animal riddles and
mysteries of the Dark Continent.
Near Fernan Vaz, French Congo
with open plains and areas
of dense jungles, traversed in
all directions by native roads, with
scores of villages scattered all over 1t
and populated by several hundred
peonle, with three trading stations
and the colonial military post, the
gorilla has lived from time i'm
memorial and still lives. Not only
does he survive in the midst of all
this human population, but he sub
sists to very great extent upon the
resources of his human rivals.
The gorilla is strictly diurnal in
haNit and prowls in broad daylight
and visits every village garden and
TlantatiOn. gathers thousands of
pineapple plants, many chickens, and
still eludes the traps and decoys set
for him The singular fact is that
these animals never have been seen
approaching the village gardens and
no one knows Just how they manage
to reach them without being discov-
cred. In retreating, however, they
1pl ear to be quite Indifferent about
being seen, as dozen at one time
have been observed returning to the
jungle after making their raids. They
cover their approach to village gar
den by the clever tactics they en-
plOy and their system of scouts,
pickets, and signals, is carried out
with such skill and precision as to de
ty all attempts to circumvet them.
Seemingly, sort of ingenious radio
system has been invented. Every
movement of the band appears to be
directed by one in commando but one
mystery is how he communicates his
directions or his warning of danger.
Everything is done in silence, and no
signal so far has been detected; yet
the concert of action indicates that
they are prompted by some definite
means which all observe and under
stand
Strikingly intelligent are the pre-
cautions the gorilla takes to safe
guard his family. On their raids for
food supplies the young ones are left
concealed in the jungle and only the
adults venture out. The adult male
gorilla makes a fairly comfortable
bed at night by plucking soft leaves,
ferns, MOSES, etc, and piling them
in well-chosen spot where he lies
| down in the same manner to sleep as
human being In this wise the
father keeps guard at night while his
family sleeps in rude bed of leaves
built up in the trees some distance
above the ground.

Scientific View of Earth.

A French scientist finds in the grtu'
denths of the Arctic ocean an argu
ment tending to show that the earth
is slightly topshaped, the protuherance
corresponding to the point of the top
being at the south pole. This. he
thinks. would explain the different re
suits arrived at by the various meas
urementS of astronomers and geode
SiStS.
The differences are very small III
roInparison with the entire bulk of
the globe yet they are readily ap
preciahle and one of the explanations
that has been suggested for them is
that the earth is tetrahetlral in form
But the Frenchman thinks the top
shape theory is preferable. The fact
that to IN eye looking at the earth
from point in space ii would not
sensihly differ in appearance from a
true sphere shows how refined are the
methods of science which enable men
living on the surface of the globe tn
detect variations in its general con
tour.-New York Sun.
