Beauty and Charm in
House Built of Wood

A defense of the frame house has
been called from organizations Of
lumbermen to refute the charges made
by the advocates Of other building ma
terials.
The tendency to belittle the per-
manency of wood construction has
been intensified by recent announce.
ments Of successful experiments in
the use of fabricated materials, such
as steel. However, about IS per cent
Of all dwelling houses in the United
States are built mainly of lumber and
three out Of every four erected at the
present time are lumber, according to
an estimate of the association.
1t is stated no material exposed
without protection from the elements
will last forever. Wood decays, steel
rusts, marble disintegrates and wears
away. Wood under ordinary condi-
lions Of use and exposure outlasts the
life Of man, even of several genera
lions of men. All that wood as build
ing material requires is that it shall
be treated with preservative if in con-
tact with the earth and painted when
exposed to the weather. When so
treated wood equals in permanency
and surpasses in beauty, warmth and
comfort any other building material.

Hard to Stop Legend
Once Started on Way

1t is rather interesting to watch
legend in the course of growth, re-
marks the Manchester Guardian and
cites the case of the ancient chalice
which was recently found and which
after a hectic newspaper career is
now so far advanced that 1t is hon
ored by some as the cup that served
the Lord at the Last Supper. 1t was
similar jumping at conclusions which
involved medieval legend makers in
some hopeless tangles, Pierre Van Pas
sen comments, in the Atlanta Constl-
tuition. The classical case is that of
the Eleven Thousand Virgins of
Cologne. Diggings in the Twelfth cen
fury brought to light big collection
Of human bones. An ecstatic woman
proclaimed them at once to be the re-
mains of the Eleven Thousand martyrs.
Further search showed the bones of
men were among the piles. The &C.
static lady was not put out. She de-
clared at once that certain ecclesias-
tics had been put to death with the
virgins. Worse followed. The bones
of children were found. Were the
seers defeated? By no means. Entire
families had been put to death with
the 1000, they said. Modern re.
search made an end to the whole farce
by establishing the fact that the bones
were those of the first Roman colOnists
in Cologne and that they had been
buried in a catacOmbian cemetery.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE
USED BY ROYALTY

Although German blood was repre-
scented before the war in many royal
houses in Europe, the memoirs that
have recently been written by princes
who can now say what they think,
show that English was really the
lingua franco in many royal families,
especially in the nursery. Thus, Prince
Nicholas of Greece has been telling
US that he and his brothers and sis
tiers always spoke English in the nurs-
cry, although their father was a Dane
and their mother a Russian; and when
they visited their relations in Copen-
hagen and in St. Petersburg nearly
everybody spoke English. Royal fami-
lies are usually supposed to be poly
glot, but this, apparently, is not al
ways the case, for the crown princess
of Belgium is only now beginning to
speak French, while the prince does
not speak in her native Swedish. So
they talk to each other in English.
Prince Nicholas believes that a work
ing familiarity with so many Ian
guages is "a mixed lessing."-London
Graphic.

HOPES TO DEVELOP
VEGETARIAN DOGS

London hears from Calcutta that a
village has been purchased near Baro-
da by Hindu millionaire and turned
into settlement for vegetarian dogs.
1t Is called Kutta-Nagar, kutta being
the Hindu word for dog and magyar for
city. The millionaire belongs to
Hindu sect which absolutely discoun-
tenances the killing of any living
thing in any form, and he founded his
dog-town in order to wean away fierce
Indian CANNES from their instinct of
killing. All the dogs in the settlement
are fed on rice, wheat, milk and but
ter. No animal food whatever is given
them. Puppies are fed on semolina
1quef1ed by clarified butter mixed with
sugar. On reaching three months of
age they are given oiled and salted
wheat bread. According to apparent
ly authentic reports, the dogs are
strong and healthy and the millionaire
vegetarian hopes to breed a new type
OF dog In which the instinct for blood
will have been eradicated. Mice are
not allowed in the village.-Chicago

Capernaun, Holy City
to Early Christians

Naturally, Capernaum was a place
dear to the early Christians, who
loved to plant their feet where Jesus
had once trOd. A church was built
there which was enlarged as years
went on. When Hadrian permitted
Jews to re-enter the Holy land (about
137 A. d. Capernaum was one Of the
cities granted to them, though its
name was changed from Kefra ma
Hum to Tell Hum, the Hill Of Hum.
Hadrian is said to have given some
assistance to the rebuilding Of parts
Of the city destroyed by the invading
Romans. By the year 900 A. D. the
church had been enlarged into a ba-
silica, and was said to cover the site
of the house where Peter enjoyed the
felicities of family life.
But the city never recovered from
the destruction that Moslemism
brought up on the once fertile plain
Of Gennesareth, strip of land on the
northwestern side of the sea of
Galilee Greatly a fresh-water lake,
five miles wide by six miles long, on
or about which were when Jesus lived
on earth thriving cities, Chorazin.
Bethsaida, Liberals and Capernaum.
To this day Moslems hold the sea and
the district to be accursed, and 1t re-
mains, as does the city where once
Jesus dwelt, a place Of desolation as
though literally it had been brought
down to hell" ..-....... .... ..

Old Lady Got Epeu

A little old lady was taking her first
ride on a, railway train. She noticed
that at every station the conductor
descended from the train, and, after
the passengers had debarked, raised
his arm and waved his hand in pc
culiar manner. Finally she stopped
him when he passed through the car
and said "Who are you waving at in
every town where we stop?"
The train was late, the conductor
was grouchy, and he snapped: II don't
know as it's any Of your business, but
that's what we call the 'highball.' It's
my way Of telling the engineer to get
to HI out Of here" A little later he
remembered how gruff he had been to
the old lady and his conscience smote
him. He went back and said to her :
"Im sorry 1 spoke to you as I did.
Everything has gone wrong today and
I felt cross or I would have been more
courteous"
"Oh! that's all right" said the old
lady demurely, and raising her arm
she gave the conductor the "highball."

When Betty Blythe was in Rome,
she acquired a rather persistent and
therefore annoying sutton. One day
they went to see Vesuvius, and while
there Betty encountered an old friend
from Los Angeles.
AS time progressed, her italian es-
cort waxed more and more jealous,
and when opportunity came, demanded
in rather brusque tones who the inter
loper was.

disarming smiles, ''he's just big but

Practice Injuries Cotton

The Department of Agriculture says
that swapping" as a method of har-
vesting cotton lowers the grade
The decreased cost in harvesting
cotton by the SNAP" method may
be much more than offset by the
expense Of passing it through boil ex-
tractors and by the loss Of value re-
sulting from the lower grades. Ac-
cording to tests made by the depart
ment, swapping cotton in 1925 resulted
in loss to the grower Of $7.29 bale
as compared with picking. When
greater discounts were assessed
against the cotton because it was
snapped, and when it was sold in the
seed, the loss was from approximate
ly $14 to $27 a bale.
