COOL CELLAR CHERISHED
FORM HOME ADJUNCT
City House, Built for Rent or Sale
Without Such Con-
venience.

Perhaps the housekeeper who
moves from the country to the city
misses more than anything else her
cool cellar, where apples will keep
all winter, through, and milk, meat
and butter are safe except in the ex-
treme heat of summer. The city
house, built for rent or sale, boasts
it is almost impossible to keep the
running hot-water pipes through
ones cherished cold storage" room.
BY constant watchfulness and firm
insistence, we finally emerged from
the contest with such q room, amply
supplied with broad shelves and with
a window opening to the north for
light and air. Then, to make it more
useful as a daily affair, a skeleton
dumbwaiter carriage was constructed
incaSed in wire netting on the fourth
to run from the pantry above down
to the cold room.
Above this cold food closet and
running up through the bathroom on
the second floor to the third dumb
waiter, which we find so useful that
it almost seems to supply the serv-
ices of an extra servant in the house.
A word through the speaking tube to
the cook, and the childrens lunch
appears, or kindlings for fireplace,
or drinking water at night, and when
there is illness to be reckoned with
and a glass of milk to be admins
tered every little while. and some
thing else between, we wonder how
we could ever dispense with it.

Under a plan for sta,e- wYde co-ordi-
nation of real estate classes the Uni
versity of Southern California and
the educational committee of Califor-
mia Real Estate Association will
jointly examine studentc' papers pre-
pared in the courses as conducted un-
der local real estate boards. A diplo-
ma showing completion of the course
will thereupon be issued jointly by
the university and the state associa-
tion to all who show satisfactory
grades.
The California state association is
urging its member boards to invite ali
those in occupations allied to real es-
tate to join the real estate classes.
A report to the National Association
of Real Estate Boards states that
some 1.200 students are now enrolled
in the state, with real estate classes
then about to be organized in ten
additional cities.

tion has undertaken to develop in

From the North CHINA Herald

From the North China Herald.
The average number of laborers en-
ployed for the seven months OF construc-
ton for changing the channel of the
Yellow River as f1ood-control measure
was about 1000, and the greatest num-
ber employed at one time reached 23,5O0
men. At one time $4,000 were at work
In the leading channel alone Famine
conditions in Shantung had passed, so
1t was not easy to secure sufficient la
borers. and though good pay was given
it was necessary to develop large re-
cruiting organization to obtain the men.
The river was diverted on May Is.
1928, and all the dyke protection and
other works were completed and Off
cially accepted October 20. Then 1900
square miles of land were reclaimed and
approximately 250,000 people reoccu-
pied their homes. Crops were planted
in June and a bountiful harvest was
reaped in the autumn. Much credit is
due to the civil governor of Shantung
Hsiung Ping-chih, for putting this work
through and financing it.

Three Stages of Revolution.
ard A. Filene in Harper's Magasine.

Edward A. Filene in Harper's Magazine.
There are usually three stages in
the development of revolutions. The
first stage is marked by the immoral
content of the oppressor, by that
blind satisfaction with the status quo
felt by men who are Indifferent to
everything save their own comfort.
The second is marked by the moral
discomfort of the oppressed, by the
legitimate protest of the men upon
whom the status quo rests heavily.
The third is marked frequently,
although not always, by the immoral
G.scontent of the men who seek to
exploit the legitimate discomfort of
their time in the exclusive interest
of themselves or of their class

LEGENDS OF THE ROSE.
Recount Stories of Love, Hate, War
and Death.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Among all flower favorites there
arc few persons who will deny first
place to that flower of all flowers
the rose.
Earth hath no princelier flowers
Than roses white and roses red.
sang that mysterious English poet,
Campion, of whose life SO little is
known. And we find him singing
again:
Let princes princely flowers defend! Roses, the
Are flowers for love and flowers for kings.
Exclaims Herrick, one of the great
est of our lyric poets:
Then in that parlay, all those flowers
Voted the rose the queen Of flowers.
Many are the legends concerning
the rose, many the stories of love,
hate, war and death. There is, in
deed, scarcely great name in the
vast realm of literature which has
not paid tribute, in some form or
other, to the rose. One finds in
Herodotus, the celebrated Greek his
torian of antiquity, mention of the
is found the phrase: Il am the rose
of Sharon and the lily of the valley"
though, alas, that rose is believed
to have been the crocus or the mar
cissus. However. the Bible is crowd
ed with references to the real rose,
the rose we know today.
The Romans were great lovers of
roses and their mightiest emperors
strewed huge masses of them about
their banquet halls when some great
feast was in progress. Nero show
cred roses on his guests and rose
perfumes ran in streams through his
palace during his luxurious festivals
A Roman legend says that Flora,
goddess of flowers, overwhelmed by
grief by the death Of her favorite
nymph, supplicated Jove to transform
the beloved into a flower that would
surpass all others. Jove Immediately
fashioned the rose.
This was the white variety. An
other legend relates that once, when
Venus was hurrying to the aid of
Adonis. she stepped accidentally upon
the thorn of rosebush. Blood drip
ped from her foot-and ever since
that time we have had the red rose.
The rosary of religious services Is
named for the rose, crushed roses, ac-
cording to chroniclers, having been
strung before the advent of beads.
And we are told that the expression
sub rosa" came about because the
Romans used to paint a large rose
on the ceiling of their banquet halls
as q reminder to those present that
what occurred was not to be repeated.
