MODERN HOMES BEING BUILT
FOR COMFORT OF OWNERS

Coupled with this economic ad-
vantage has been the traditional
plea of the married woman for a
home of her own. Almost every
Young husband has heard that
plea and has understood the reas-
Ons for it; home ownership estab-
fishes a solidarity in family life, it
represents an investment which
protects the family in much the
same manner as does life insurance.
Men have made efforts then to
establish their own home. but it is
only recently that they have been
able to make home ownership more
than a gesture. They bought thei:
own homes TO satisfy certain econ
cmic and domestic requirements;
they did not buy them with the
idea of gaining great comfort from
them: they had stark visions OF
tinkering with the hundreds of
things that always seemed to be
/ going wrong.

working, but you watch carpenter and
he's generelly always making things ug-
lier till some painter comes and goes all
over everything with paint, and Artie

ter has got it the easiest, because he can
make q whole buntch of mistakes and

Often in q company some will want
to be inactive, while others prefer to
help entertain. A good way to find out
personal preferences when company
is large is to have both types of enter

tables for cards can be placed. In an
other the floor can be cleared for dane

other times original guessing games will
keep them amused and alert.
Tableaux and charades are not so
much in evidence as entertaining fea-

When a hostess knows she will have
persons who shine in conversation, those
who are wits and good at repartee, re-

company wants to hear, etc, she can
rely upon the group having a good time
without stressing other entertainment.
She is wise, however, if she has some
plans to fill in any gaps when mo-

These plans should be kept in reserve

Today in
Washington History
BIZ DONALD A. CRAIG.

September IL, 1S6I.-Daily recon-
noissances across the Potomac River
into Virginia are being made by de-
tachmentS of Union troops. They indi-
cate, according TO the reports received
today at military headquarters in this
city, that the Confederate troops are
constantly shifting their positions"
The Confederates, for instance, were
discovered near Falls Church night
before last. Their pickets had all been
drawn in close to that village. The
Confederate pickets on the Georgetown
Leesburg turnpike have also been drawn
in considerably during the last two or
three days, apparently toward the main
body of the Confederate forces under
Gen. Beauregard.
The impression prevails in Union
military circles here today that Gen.
Beuaregard Is now "massing most of
his troops" between Fairfax Court
House and Leesburg, Va. 1t was learned
crate troops of considerable size was
moved toward this supposed position
from the vicinity of Manassas Junction.
Meanwhile Gen. Mcclellan continues
to drill the Union Grand Army" on
the east side of the Potomac River at
Washington and to prepare to meet
any forward movement in this direc-
ton that the Confederates may MAKE.
Mcclellan has not yet shown any signs
of moving forward against the Con-
federate Army.
The usual stories are flying about
and growing by exaggeration as they
are passed from mouth to mouth. One
of the latest is that Union soldiers
under Gen. Smith captured a Confed-
crate major and captain, but it turns
out to have been two Confederate pri-
Yates of the Virginia Cavalry, who were
captured near Lewinsburg, Va. So far
as can be ascertained, no Confederate
officers have fallen into McClellan's
hands since he took command of the
Army of the Potomac soon after the
Union defeat at the Battle of Bull Run.
1t leaked out today that Charles H.
Winder of this city has been arrested
by the Union authorities and is being
held in prison. He is charged with
reasonable practices, but no details are
available
Prof. loves observation balloon is
back at its old position above Fort
Corcoran, Va, today, after having been
brought into this city yesterday and

BIZ J. p. GLASS.

The emperors of Rome in the main
left such a record of extravaganza that
it is hard to think of any of them as
being frugal. But this word, in most
respects, fitted Sergius Galba, the sue
cessor of Nero, last and probably the
most spendthrift of all the Caesars.
Galba was immensely rich, when, as
a private citizen, he lived in retirement
during most of the reign of Nero. OF
course. as emperor, he was in posi-
ton to increase his wealth enormously.
That which he obtained he seldom re-
lee sed.
All sorts of stories were told of his
tight-fistednesS. Once, 1t was said, he
was served with a more sumptuous din
ner than usual, whereupon he groaned
holloway in sorrow over the expenditure.
Again, a steward having brought to
him, while he was at table, an account
of his expenditures which showed great
diligence in curtailing costs, Galba said:
"You deserve q reward for your care"
whereupon, suiting the action to the
word. he handed the faithful servant a
dish of legumes from the table.
Canus, the piper, having played in a
way that delighted him, the emperor
summoned the musician to him and,
drawing some coins from his pocket,

of great Satisfaction. Canus, expecting
a rich reward, retired to a safe distance
to see what he had. He found he had
received donarii-about IS cents.
News of Galba's avarice reached
Rome before he arrived, and the cut
ups of the day proceeded to make fun
of him as a rustic, regardless of his
dignity and his age-he was 70 when
he seized power.
Fearful of criticisms of his frugality,
Galba attempted to be q spendthrift at
times. But he did it in way that
earned him more censure.
He succeeded in making every one an
enemy. Fatally, he eStranged the SOL
diers, who had been won over to his
cause by their commanders promising
that he would give them a large dona-

nandruff on Oily Scalp.

Dear Miss Leeds: read your articles
each day and wonder If you could help
me with my problem. It is this: am
troubled with my hair getting oily. l
wash 1t once q week and have been
using various things to get rid OF dan
drtiff, but none of them seemed to help
me. do not know what to do
about it, for my hair gets oily three
DAYS after it is washed and I can just
shake my head and dandruff flies every
way. Is there any way that I can help
this? GRATEFUL.
Answer.-The excessive oiliness and
the dandruff both indicate that your
scalp Is not in a healthy condition.
Give It q stimulating massage both
night and morning and also see to it
that both hair and scalp are given a
daily airing. Allow the hair to hang
loosely for this treatment

be kept active most of the time or they
fidget, while persons of middle age or
older should have quiet games Or diver
sions-those that require mental alert
ness rather than physical agility. Very
small children should have quiet games
mixed with active, lest they get IA
tigued.
But apart from the age Of persons,
other elements enter into the form of
entertainment that should be chosen.
For instance, many adults wish to be
mentally relaxed when they are in q
festive mood, while others like to have
stimulating diversion. For the former
the hostess should plan amusements
that will keep them In q happy frame
Of mind. Music Is q great aid in this.
For the latter, she should plan guess
ing games, conundrun1s, anagrams,
games of skill, card games that neces-
state feats Of memory or strict adher-
ence to arbitrary rules, etc.

Heavy Folks.

Students of human nature leave no
stone unturned in trying to discover
why who is what. Every suspicion in
regard to human abilities is subjected
70 careful analysis and measurement.
Oh course, the vast majority of these
questions in regard to human abilities
are settled on the basis of averages.
suppose we consider this question I:
Are heavy folks likely to be more sue
ceSsful in a given line of work than
the light? On this question we have
some interesting data.
It has been discovered that the av-
erage bishop is feet 10 inches tall
and weighs 176 pounds. The average
small town preacher is 5 feet 8 inches
tall and weighs $50 pounds.
The average university president
measures feet IL inches and weighs
lS1 pounds. The average president Of
a small college measures 5 feet
inches and weighs 1854 pounds.
Presidents of railroad companies av-
erage feet IL inches in height and
weigh on the average 1876 pounds. At
the same time station agents in towns
of less than 500 population stand feet
9 inches in height and weigh 154
pounds.
Perhaps these physical averages
mean something. The writer, for one,
doubts that they have any significance.
May it not be that the governing
boards who select these higher officials
are human enough to suspect" that
stature and weight are indications Of

where the sun is shining. The moisture
in the carrot slices will hold them to
the window pane. You really have no

the sun shines through them. Every
shade of yellow from pale lemon to
deep gold will be there and there will
be pretty shades of pink, too.
After the moisture of the carrot slices
