Sixteenth street, right along Alaska
avenue. then left along Morningslde
drive to the dwelling, located just south
of Kalmia road.
An adequate coat closet on the first
floor, conveniently located with respect
to the front entrance, is feature
highly desirable in a house OF this
character. Such provision is made in
the Silver Star Home, and while 1t Is
convenient it is not conspicuous. The
house is of center hall plan. The coat
closet is placed off a short hallway
leading from the center hall to the
kitchen at the right rear Of the build
ing Thus it cannot be seen from the
front door and yet is handy to one
coming either from the front entrance
or the rear kitchen door.
The stairs to the basement are To-
Gated under the neat staircase that
rises from the center hall to the upper
floors. In the basement. in addition to
other features, is large inclosed pre-

doors. There is shelving in the upper
portion of this closet, with four large
drawers for blankets and bedding below.

There are two large closets in the
master bed room, both of them fitted
with electric lights One has a large
window for ventilation, which affords
three exposures for the bed room The
two other bed rooms on this floor each
have large closet.
On the stairway leading to the third
floor one comes upon a convenient
closet in the wall. occupying space
which otherwise would be wasted. which
will prove handy for the small items
which might otherwise be deposited
temporarily on the stairway.

A more general use Of the amortized

mended that the Westchester County
Realty Board urge holders of home
mortgages in the county to apply the
amortization principle to existing home
mortgages where the economic condi-
ton of the borrower requires. 1t fur
ther asked the board to prepare and
submit a standard form for first mort

provide for amortization over period
Of 10 years or more, and standard
form for second mortgages which
could be used in connection with it.

BRISBANE SAYS
+. PEOPLE MADE
GOOD CHOICE

NEW YORK, Nov. 9 US0,
Governor Roosevelt was elected
President Of the United States
because the voters of the nation
had learned lesson in self
government, Arthur Brisbane
famous Hearst editor. declared
over q nationwide N.B.C. hook-uI
last night.
Mr.. Brisbane was introduced
by M. Z. Aylesworth, president OF
NB.C., as an editor who has
more daily readers than any man
IN the history of journalism.
Nation Takes Lesson
Brisbane said:
well, ladies and gentlemen,
you seem to have elected q
Democratic President. The news
that / get from the New York
American, one Of Mr. Hearst'S
many newspapers, shows that
Governor Roosevelt has carried
this State, New York, by about
1,O0O.O0e.
The nation as q whole has
been taking one Of its regular
lessons in the art of self-gOv-
ernment. That education will
spread over hundreds of years
more. It takes a long time to
learn how to govern yourself.
The individual man doesn't
learn 1t until he is very old and
then 1t Is often too late. The
nation never learns il, sometime.
1t never learns it in less than
several centuries.
Government and people win
learn to govern themselves by
falling down and hurting them
selves, the same as little chill
dren learn to walk. One Of our
worst falls was the big war.
We tripped into that lightly
and gaily like a child approach
ing the fire, and the depression
Is the dump that followed that
experience"
w. Praises Roosevelt
The Government of the United
States then was likened by Mr.
Brisbane to the farmer who gets a
new ak. The Government. he
said. has a new ak. He added:
Buying the Ak is easy, cut
ting the trees is hard. and
President Roosevelt when he
begins work next March win
find some very big and tough
trees before him. One Of them
isc the depression; another, un-
employment. and . third and .
very difficult one is crime.
How to deal with these
things, how to cut down these
trees, is hard to imagine. But
we know that Governor ROOSe-
welt viii do the best he can.
We know he Is a man of fine
character, . man who has
worked hard for his country i'm

We've had actresses who could not
