across the west side. Back Of this
stairway, and facing the west, is the
library, a secluded room with walls
Of walnut panelling.
The dining room, on the north
side of the entrance hall, is reached
through double doors set in Gothic
archway. The walls are finished in
rich ivory, divided into ornamen-
tai panels against which are set
side lights of the double candelabra
type. Those in the dining room are
hung with crystal prisms. In the
living room the antique brass finish
gives a touch of warm color.
Cupboards IN White
The kitchen is at the north side
of the house, connected with the
dining room by pass pantry in
which the wall space, except where
doors or windows prevent, is built
solid with cupboards finished in
ivory enamel.
The kitchen is also provided
abuntantly with cupboards on the
west and south walls and on the
north except where the sink and the
windows above it fill the space.
Inlaid linoleum in brick-colored
small tile pattern is used for the
kitchen floor covering with attrac-
tive effect.
From the kitchen there are doors
opening into a cross hallway on the
south and another on the west; the
former connecting the rear entrance
hall with the main hallway, the lat
ter having doors opening onto the

Residence Follows English
Exterior Type Design;
Walls Red Brick.

An arrangement which provides
for a living room well separated
from the dining room and library
in which one may really find seclu-
sion among walls lined with book
shelves characterizes the new resi-
dence at 5272 N. Meridian st. The
house was designed and built by H.
L. Simons.
Like many of the other houses
which Simons has built in the
neighborhood, it follows the English
type in its exterior design, with
walls of variegated red brick, a
igh-pitched slate roof and a second
floor wing of half timbered Stucco
Additional breadth is given the
facade by extending the front OF the
house proper to an entrance gate
way to the drive, which is on the
north, where it terminates in a brick
column corresponding with a sim
liar column on the opposite side of
the drive, like the two posts that
guard the entrance to an old-fash-
Toned garden.
Walk Curves to Door
The f1agstone walk curves from
both sides of the lawn toward the
center entrance door, a solid timber
door set far back in Gothic arch
way faced with Bedford limestone.
The drive, too, borders the lawn on
both the north and south sides, so
that a car may enter from one side
and leave by the other.
The entrance door, as in many OF
Simons' houses, opens into a spa
cious hallway wider than it Is deep
with a graceful stairway, finished in
ivory enamel and walnut, curving

This is the statement Of Frank

was one of the four Marion County
members who voted against the law
which prevents the city manager
government from becoming effective
until the expiration of the Duvall
term.
Ready to Sign Call
Born declares that he is ready to
sign a call for special session If
the Governor refuses to act upon
the petition of the city manager
committee.

finished three-car garage at the
back of the house. A door also
opens from the garage into the
south cross hallway.
Living Room Full Depth
The living room is at the extreme
south side of the house, extending
the full depth from front to back,
with a corner porch on the south
west. On the east it has group Of
four easement windows, on the
south there are double easement
windows on each side of a white
marble fireplace, and on the west
French doors invite afternoon sun
light into the room and serve as
exits to the porch.
The arrangement Of the upstairs
bedrooms is one that Simons espe-
cially favors, the bathrooms being
directly connected with the rooms
in most cases, so that two room
suites are available, giving more pri-
vacy than when all baths open from
the hall.
The arrangement of the maids
room, above the garage, is also a de-
sirable feature of this builders larg-
er houses.

a copy.
When an artist evolves a MASTER.
piece, he has to correct as he pro.
ceeos, II he has not already trained
nlmself to .perfection's high point. :"
Mr.. Burroughs states. "And the most
skillful painters often change their
minds. But copyist or imitator is
lnsensitive to the reasons for such
alterations, remaining content to per-
form his task mechanically. Changes
IN underpaint are thus an indication
of originality. when the hidden work
agrees in style with that on the
surface"
In the case of the Madonna paint
ing, he says. the face of the Virgin
was originally tilted slightly more to
her left. Two nostrils on the same
side OF the nose. two pairs Of lips, and
two lines for the chin enable one to
trace the first version fairly ac-
curately."
The experimental painting hidden
under the surface paint Of Mars and
Venus" showed that the artist had
originally depicted the god and goa-
dess in realistic love scene. This,
however. was too emotional a pose
for rhe calm immortals, and he altered
the spirit Of the picture by raising
Venus head and shifting her weight
away from Mars and changing ner
expression to one Of smiling un.
0cncern.
There is no question that Veroness
painted the Venus and Mars" The
X-ray study was made. Mr.. Burroughs
explains. because of the fact that
there is a replica OF the painting. and
the question might be raised an to
which was the original.

POSTAL UNION DELIVERS MAILS
TO NOOKS AND CORNERS OF EARTH
International Conference at Hague Will Devote At
tention to Development of Air Transport for
Letters and Packages.

One of the wonderful things that
Few people take time to wonder about
is the fact that il you put a message
in hole on the street corner it will
come up in the hands Of any one you
please to mention, almost anywhere
in the world
Nature didn't do that, nor any one
man or nation of men. 1t is one of the
few products of cooperation by man
Kind at large, and some consider it the
most remarkable. The instrument by
which the marvel has been wrought
is the Universal Postal Union, an in
ternational league in which our mem.
bership is so much a matter of course
that no one has thought of objecting
to it.
Admirable already, the thing is be-
ing bettered, and the United States
has hand in the job. Two American
postal officials, Warren Irving Glover,
second assistant postmaster general,
and z. Russell White, superintendent
Of the Division of Foreign Mails. sail
ed August Is for The Hague to attend
an international conference on the de-
velopment of air mail service. Next
Summer they will be called abroad
again. The United States is one of a
committee of Is nations named by the
postal congress of 1924, at Stockholm,
to prepare action for the next general
congress, which will meet at London
in 1929. Next years meeting of that
committee is to shape various projects
that it would be hard to bring to
definite head at a world session.
Planning Is Necessary.
The rapid growth of air mall serv-
ices in Europe and America. the spread
of international parcel post facilities,
the persistence of problems arising
from war finances and the continuing
demand for lower postage rates, espe'
cially between neighboring nations,
are some of the conditions that make
intelligent and definite planning desir-
able. But 1t Is understood that she
conference of 1928 may arrive at more
radical proposals than the adjustment
of specia. problems. There is a feel
ing, clearly voiced at the Stockholm
congress, that the postal convention,
the universal treaty by which the
mails of the world are governed,
should be completely overhauled. 1t
has been built up through so years,
padded and patched from congress to
congress. The idea now is to take
long breath and start over. The out
statement, but suggestions for far
reaching reforms.
Your scent stamp is ticket that

how the nickel is divided between

When World Reaches Limit of Five Billions, &c.
neva Conference Told

The Geneva solons who have just
fixed the population of the world at
5,0OO,00O,000 a hundred years hence
have thereby presaged what appears
to be two far more important condi,
tions-f1rst, that the United States
will be the most populous country in
the world. and. second, that the farm
problem finally will be soved. For,
according to the experts on popula.
tion growth. when the globe becomes
packed with 5,000.000,O00 competing
human souls, all struggling to eat
food, the farmer will rule the world.
The American farmer is to be espe-
cially favored. According to the tab

by weighing and counting the mails

An Intricate Problem.
Obviously this nickel-splitting proc.
ess means a lot Of accounting to one
another among the nations. and it is
only an example of the endless prob.
lens that have to be met to keep the
mails flowing around the globe. The
nations are obliged to agree also on
what kinds of things they will carry
by post, how much to charge for in
creasing weights, what to do about

that are not delivered, how to pay for

bers. Russia, Brazil and Africa will

ulation centers. together with India
and China, while the already crowded
countries of Europe will be much less
important by comparison.
The chief cause of population in.
crease will not be higher birth rate,
for as education increases birth rates
incline steadily to become lower. On
the other hand. increase of population
will be due to a lower death rate.
Already the birth rate in the more
Europe has dwindled to a very low
figure, but the longevity of life has
increased in even greater proportion.
Several Have Low Birth Rates.
Although France generally is be-
lieved to have the lowest birth rate
in the world. four countries-Sweden
Esthonia. Switzerland and England
and Wales-produce even fewer
babies. Other low birth-rate countries
of Europe are Norway, Germany, Bel.
gium. Austria, Holland, Denmark,
Latvia and Lithuania.
But the very countries which low
cred their birth rates also lowered
their death rates. New Zealand, for
instance, which has the lowest birth
rate in the world, also has the lowest
death rate. Death rates lower than
II per 1000 are now recorded in
Sweden. Norway, Denmark, Germany.
Holland, England, Wales. the United
States, Canada, Australia. Uruguay
and the Union of South Africa.
The population experts at Geneva es-
innate that the world has only 13 ,000,.
600, 900 acres of land capable of rails
ing food for it's population. Two-fifths
of these are already cultivated and the
remainder are chiefly in Russia, the
United States and the equatorial
regions of South America and Africa.
Canada and Australia, which have vast
areas of uncultivated land. for the
most part are ruled out by lack Of
favorable climate. India and China
have used most Of their available soil
and practically stabilized their popula-
tions.
Leads In Fundamentals.

man needs to keep alive-food,

He Wanted to Clean Up
BY BRUCE BARTON.

THE other night as ! was
taking my usual walk
noticed man who
l. seemed to be wandering
aimIessIy about the streets.
He did not recognize me, but
! recognized him. met him
several years ago when he was
in his glory.
He came to New York from a
country town with a fixed deter.
n,ination to get rich. For some
years things went remarkably
we'll with him. He formed
fortunate partnership, became
the president Of a successful en-
terprise, had his own home and
motor car and the other things
that 90 with q generous income.
But the easerness for money
would not give him a moments
peace. He saw that the enter
prise in which he was engaged
offered the possibilities Of very
much larger profits; he began to
figure how much faster he could
grow rich if the profits came to
him alone instead Of being di-
vided with his partner.
One day he forced his partner
to sell out at an unfair price.
Power was in his hands at last;
he eonfided to his friends that
he intended to make a "eIean-
up" and retire.
Well, hs had part Of his wish,
at least. He is retired; rather,
he is engaged in a business so
small that no one hears Of him
any more. The big, successful
enterprise blew up; he strained
it too hard, and it broke.
There 10 a curious thing about
money, as . very shrewd OBJ
server Of human affairs recently
remarked.
Evening star., 1927-09-04

"Did you ever notice that the
man who starts out with the
deliberate intention Of making
lot Of money seldom makes very
much?" he asked. "Great for
tunes do not come that way.
But let a man render real serv-
ice, make something better and
sell it cheaper than it has ever
been made and sold before and
he can forget about the money.
1t will take care Of itself"
To be sure, the business world
10 full Of men who fight and
scratch and enaw their way to
fair sized fortunes. But the men
at the top are almost always Of
a different stamp. Most Of them
would subscribe to this ssnti-
ment from George Bernard
Shaw:
"This is the true Joy in life,"
writes Shaw, "the being used for
a purpose recognized by your.
self as a mighty one; the being
thoroughly worn out before you
are thrown on the scrap heap;
the being a force Of nature in
stead Of a feverish, selfish little
elod of ailments and grievances,
complaining that the world will
not devote itself to making you
happy"
The man who regards that
sentiment as only a biz Of hne
writing, wholly impractical and
visionary, may realize quite a
substantial sum as a result Of
his efforts. But he runs q very
good chance Of ending like my
friend who wanders ainlsssly
about the streets--"eleaned out"
by his fsverish desire to "elean

second in wheat and oats. Her min
eral and fuel resources have never
been accurately surveyed, but they
are known to be tremendous.
The equatorial regions of Africa and
South America, now relatively unim-
portant, will become the chief food
sources of the world when its popula-
tion reaches 5000, 900 900. With their
jungles cut down and their fevers
tanned, they are capable of producing
any crop in the world, and the future
will see a chain of ex-
press refrigerator steamers plying
regularly between the food plantations
of Africa and South America and the
population centers of Europe and the
United States.
