To Muke Windows
HIGHER and Wider

THE windows shown here are
I the same size. The center one
is made to look taller by adding
an extension at the top. The one
on the right is made wider with
extensions at the sides. Tall win
dows lend dignity and a note OF
formality. BY placing the tie
backs quite high this effect is en-
phasized even more.
Wide windows often make a
room seem larger and give wall
spaces better proportions. Exten-
sions at the sides may also be
used so the draperies will cover
less of the window, giving more
view and sunlight. This is par
ticularly good trick to try in the
summer with straight curtains
hung so they barely cover the
woodwork at the sides of the win
dow.
To make a window higher,
merely screw blocks of wood to
the top of the frame as at A and
B with metal straps such as may

Milton, Scott, Defoe, Bach
Late-Flowering Ceniuses

Milton was sixty when he began
to compose Paradise Lost"
Daniel Defoe was ffty-eight
when he produced Robinson Cru
soe."
Cervantes was fifty-eight when
the first part of don Quixote"
was given to the public.
Sir Walter Scott was forty-three
before he began to attract atten-
ton by his writings.
Chaucer's Canterbury Tales"
were the product of his old age.
Bach did not compose until he
was past forty.
Bunyan did not begin "Pil-

claimed to be 100 or older, the fig
ure is open to question because
nearly $500 of these were colored
people who simply guessed" their
ages.
If 100 years is the maximum av-
erage, it offers far-away goal for
scientists who have thus far in
creased life expectancy to SO years.
To increase the average only 10
years is a monumental task that
would necessitate almost complete
removal of the diseases now re-
sponsible for juvenile mortality. ALL
ments causing infant deaths must
be strangled. tuberculosis among
young people, communicable dis
eases-and especially venereal dis
eases-would be stamped out, and
advances in psychiatry would elimi-
nate the menace of suicide. All
this, and our life expectancy would
be raised scant 10 years!
1000 Years of Progress.
No forward stride can be expected
overnight. Expectation of life has
been increasing slowly for almost
1000 years, and we are now much
more fortunate than Roman infants
in Caesars day who could look for
ward to only 20 or Is years on earth.
