Modernization of Home
Worth Outlay Involved

WORM Ouglay AnVOAVG0
Practically every woman would re-
fuse emphatically to dress in the gar
ments that were stylish ten years ago.
And the average man would look
with scorn at the thought Of owning
an automobile that was built back in
1918.
Yet both complacently live in a
house that has the architectural de-
signs Of Spanish-American war days
and think nothing Of 1t. Both put up
with the Inconvenience that go with
such a dwelling and are satisfied with
the old home.
Only recently has the home-owner
begun to realize that it Is no longer
necessary to live in disappearing
houses simply because that was the
way they were originally built. Dur
ing the past year or so 1t has been
brought to the attention Of the prop
erty owner that houses clothed In out
of-date lines show as poor taste as
dressing in clothes with the lines Of
yesteryear. Both may have utility
but how unnecessary the old lines are !
The home owner who lives in an
out-of-date house often hesitates to
improve his dwelling because he has
a mistaken idea of the costs Of mod
ernizing. These costs are usually
moderate. A surprising range Of i'm
provements can be made for few
thousand dollars. Exchange.

Determine to Own Home

The ownership of home is an am
bition to which every one should
aspire. Have you, Mr.. Tenant. this
ambition and hope? Have you deter
mined to accomplish the purchase OF
your own home? If not, do so at once.
1t is step in the right direction. It
makes for better citizenship. It sup
plies new interest In life, and the
benefits that accrue are worth many
times any sacrifice that may be made.
Exchange.

Numbered Men"
Doesn't Seem So Narrowing.
"NUMBERED MEN" the latest
offering of Warmers Metro
politan Theater. is a synthetic and
curiously ineffective screen portrait
of what goes on in ''the big house"
Although riots, double-crossings, and
the customary collection of bad
men" strut briefly across the screen,
they are directed with little imagina-
ton and clouded by an impossible
story which seems to have been
taken from the Dwight Taylor play
Jail Break"
One of the big moments of this
prison comedy (for surely it is not
meant to be taken seriously), is when
the prisoners make break for free
dom. Unfortunately, the grim, sup
posedly half-mad determination that
should come at such time, is lost
on the spectator, since from the
throats of these men come cries
reminiscent of the foot ball field. AS
they dash for the prison walls they.
furthermore, suggest a sort of snake
dance after victory, and even as they
clutch at their prison bars one can
almost hear the tenderfoot director
crying: Come on, you'se guys
clutch-clutch-c
Although the grim, gray walls of
the State penitentiary are meant
to bound the great and thrilling
locale for this story, most of the
action takes place in farm house,
where the main subject. under dis
cuSSion seems to be doughnuts.
The tense dramatic moments take
place in sort of hide-and-seek
game amidst the cows and chickens
which has for a climax the villain
dying in a pigpen.
That beautiful and noblest of
continents, love, manifested by a
girl who lives at this farm house
and VOWS that she will wait 10 years
for her convict lover, is part of the
familiar material in this picture.
Other iInpedimenta include a cou-
pie Of villains, a man shooting q
hawk, more doughnutS, a craps
game and an ending in which Con-
rad Nagel. the saint of the story,
adds another 10 years to his SEN
tence for the sake of his pal"
Apart from Mr.. Nagel, Bernice

part, he should be, some day, really
