OVER LAND
BARTER
Rumor That Irish Free State
Will Get New Grants In
flames Province

BELFAST, Sept. 19.-"If an at.
tempt is made to steal any Ulster
territory we will oppose it by every
means in our power" declared
Labor Minister Andrews of the III.
ster government in a speech today
to Oraneemen at Portadown
The labor minister's speech was
in defiance of the boundary com.
mission report, which is now ex.
pected to be delayed for at least
two months. although it is gen.
orally believed that the report will
award Ulster territory to the Irish
Free State
Even an exchange of the small
est amount of territory can not
take place without listers con-
sent, Andrews continued.
The Andrews speech was typical
of many fiery utterances being made
throughout Ulster, which seem to
forehode trouble once the report is
issued and an attempt is made to
carry out it's provisions

POLICE
Apparatus Took Three Rooms
Out OF Four in
Apartment

Two stills, one a 100-gallon af-
fair, which monopolized an entire
room, together with thirty-six
barrels of mash and 1000 pounds
Of Sugar, making UP the most
complete outfit for the manufac-
ture Of corn liquor ever found in
private dwelling here, were
seized today on the third floor of
1903 Ninth street northwest.
Every portion of the four-room
apartment was taken up with the
bootleg equipment except the
front room, which held three beds.
The closet of this room was pried
open and a jug of elderberry wine
discovered.
Fenning Inspects Plant.
Jubilant over their find, the raid
ing officers notified Inspector Henry
c. Pratt, who took Commissioner
of Police Frederic A. Fenning out
to inspect the plant.
Commissioner Fenning commend
ed the officers and interestedly
watched the men dismantIe the stills
and piping.

appearance, it found three oc-
cupants of the house in the act of
preparing for the celebration of
the Jewish New Year. They were
taken to the Second precinct station.
Two finally We're charged with
manufacture and illegal possession
of liquor as result of the raid.
They are:
Walter Plotkin, thirty-two years,

wife, Ida Plotkin, thirty-two, same
address. The pair were released
on $1,000 bond.
Police find there are three fam
lilies living at the Ninth street adj
dress and two of the families claim
they were igorant of the presence
Of the stills.
1t is pointed out that no one
could have lived there and not been
suspicious inasmuch as the carry
ing up of the thirtX.six fifty-two-
gallon barrels and the piping for
gas from the third floor to the
basement would necessarily com
mand attention.
Camouflage Employed
A unique camouflage was EN-
ployed by the alleged manufacture

the first or second floors from
smelling the odor of the liquor.
This was the periodical spraying

Maryland Teaches Deaf

maybe you don't-but here it is, and
I'd like you to help me get it over to
some other people.
"Do you know that there is place
in Maryland where thy teach deaf
children to speak? l don't mean chill
dren who are just little hard of
hearing, but the boys and girls who
are totally deaf and who have never
learned to talk.
81 found out about it "he went on, -
through a pal of mine who went
there-a little fellow up in the noun
tains, nice husky little chap full. of
fun and bright as a button, but he had
never learned to talk and he can't
hear sound. When the other six
year-olds went to school, he had to
stay home, because he couldn't under
stand what was said to him.
"The Public Health Nurse who lives
across the road from him, knew about
the school for the deaf and made ar
rangements for him to go there. I've
just been to see him. He's been there
year, and say! He can talk! He can
read words out of a book, too; and he
can say them just like any other
child. OF course he can't hear-he
never will be able to hear, but he is
learning to understand nearly every
thing that is said to him because ne
has been taught to watch the lips of
people as they speak to him.

is? "He drew out tiny notebook and

Mr.. william A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all problems pertaining to the
subject Of building. for the readers Of
this paper. On account Of his wide
experience as editor, author and man

highest authority on the subject. Ad-

1t is always interesting to note the
different atmOSpheres which are created
by different styles Of architecture in
home building and which ones seem
to appeal most to the people Of differ
emf localities and different periods.
For the close observer it Is possible
to tell very nearly the time when any
house was built merely by its style
and the California and Florida devel-
opments, with their Spanish-Mission
and Spanish Italian vogues are excel
lent examples Of local tendencies
There are Of course examples Of all
styles to be found in almost any To-
cality and there are also certain styles
which are universally popular. One
Of these Is the English cottage style
Of home. 1t Is founded in very old
tradition and possesses qualities which
carry permanent appeal. Its popu-
larity has had steady growth and
houses of this type almost never ap-
pear out Of date. They carry an air
Of permanence and solid homelike COM
fort which appeals to almost every
one, and there is little danger that
they will ever lose their popularity.
While this style is distinct in itself
1t offers great opportunity for vari-
alton in the treatment of the individ-
ual house and an almost unlimited va

Planning of Nursery
Requires Much Study

The planning of a nursery requires
great deal of study. together with a
knowledge of child life. 1t must be so
planned that maximum amount of
sunshine will be admitted to light up
the daintily decorated interior. Many
make the mistake Of selecting wall
paper employing colors that are too
strong, consisting of spots and
splashes.
This Is not the ideal child wall pa
per. Simple paper and curtain ma
terial should be used. Light colOred
painted furniture and washable, nat
ural colored woven rugs, which pro-
duce soothing effect for the nerves
Of the little ones should be used.
It Is not necessary to have large
room. If it Is to house one to two
children, small room will make n
child feel more comfy, as spaciousness
frightens them and gives them a case
Of nerves This room should not
house toys, and should not be con-
fused with a playroom. Everything In
the nursery should be kept spotless-
ly clean. and the materials that fur
nish this room should be such that
they may be easily washed.
