FRIDAY MAY 13. 1921. PEOPLE OF OUR TOWN The Steady Advertiser Is taking n Load of Money to the Bant He does This every morning. The Mall Order houses don't Worry him. Wouldn't Yoa like to he a Steady Advertiser and take a Load of Money to the Bunk every mornlng7 Well, you can! We still have Some Space left and ho has the Bank. INDIVIDUAL FLYEftS. ' Inventors are turning their attention to the Indlvlduul flyer. Though as yet he has not made his bow on the aerial Etage he has already been dubbed the avletter, and his machine an aviettc. Curiously enough. It was the nvlette that was thought of long before the airplane. But the two, as It Is now seen, present vastly different mechanical problems. The airplane, must be built for speed and great ultitudes; the avlette must stick close to earth and move with circumspection. We do not know yet whether its pinions will be . planes. Then, there conies the ticklish problem of starting the avletter. lie must rise and hot "taxi," nor must he go up like a balloon, says Christian Science Monitor. He must be braked, and yet how Is It to be done without disaster? He must be tpn: ! but you mustn't bunk him. So (Uve Js still much to be done before the human Icarus can make his debut and be sure of Immunity from such unwelcome sensations as tallsplns, nose dives, and sideslips. The youth who has all the money he wanta to gratify whatever whims or indulgences he may crave Is as aurely headed for the scrap pile as Is an Infant going to cut its fingers If handed an open razor. There Is no more pitiful sight than that of a callow youth with money-lined pockets surrounded by helpful spenders bent upon showing him how they can all have a good time on his cash. The male and the female, they flock to his standard, and the poor goof Is made to believe that It la his personal popularity that attracts -friends." Such' a young fellow Is extremely fortunate if his associations do not lead him into Acquaintanceship with lawless characters ready to teach him lawlessness. At the best, he Is led into associations Chat set low standards for him. Nothing else la all the range of human experience is so expensive, but nothing else pays and repays bo much bs honest-hearted.

Within the gleaming glory of such charmed circle do the children come and grow to thv? plendid soldiery of service.

AN AMERICAN IDEA, An American architect is planning the. new library of Louvaln. That bestitlfnl monument of Fifteenth century art which was destroyed by war will be replaced by a new building as beautiful as the old and located in harmony with a new municipal parking system. And something else will be new. Mr. Warren says: "I will probably. plan the new library In Flemish renaissance. Instead of Flemish Gothic But my first fluty will be to construct a stockroom, and this will be on modern American lines with modern shelves." So, while American art helps to repair the war's razing of an art treasure and American scholars five books to help rebuild the famous collection of '2.000,000 volumes that was wholly destroyed, American practical Invention finds Its place, toe, says M!lvnii'' Journal. It Is no small thing fur Americans to take pride In; It is i, s!rj! i fame to be rebullders of tic? nhu ii koneflts the world.
StiM'enH atedly excuse their deficiency mi uiTcnt knowledge by the sj,'ite:.;r-nt : -our college work keeps us !: th:it we have no time to n J !!'. newspapers and magazines.' WhU-h naturally suggests a greater emphasis on the college responsibility of keeping the student Interest in such plmj.es of information thoroughly aroused. TL.e older boys and girls are for the ist part quite as human au tho rest of us, and so manage to give attention enough to matters of primary interest, writes Paul V. West In Atlantic Monthly. Students are being taught to answer quite glibly academic questions of a decidedly erudite character, while at thesarae time they are losing contact with the, vital world about them. Seriously, we ought to know to what an extent this condition exists, and meet the Issue sanely and efficiently. It has never been sufficiently' acknowledged that men are migratory beings. Travel they will, whatever be the pretext. In other days the call to war was sufficient to move a nation to travel. For centuries Jerusalem and the Crusades furnished sufficient Incentive for extensive excursions. Pleasure trips became fashionable when war became less fashionable, and now In th remaking of the world, trade Is to be the excuse for seeing something of, pther countries, and a very good excuse it Is. for K resolves into a mission of mutual assistance. Trade fulrs In London or trade fairs in Czechoslovakia, or in any other locality are an incitement for excursions Into the realms of romance, even though pots and pans ore the immediate object of the Journey. The fact that children should be Ftudled Individually, and not In the mass, is a comparatively recent dls-. eovery. We are not far removed from the days when children were flung Into schools to sink or swim. Oertain of them floated to the top of the class and were regarded as clever; others remained there by a system of ridicule and neglect. They were the dunces. It was one of the many things that the educational authorities of that period could never understand that so many of the clever ones never made their mark In after-school life, and so many of the great men had been regained as dunces In their school days. Shoe manufacturers have declared against low-heeled shoe3 for women, declaring that the French variety does not wear so long und that consequently more shoes are sold to women who have more regard for style tlmn for economy and comfort. In the reign of Queen Kllzaluih a tax had to be paid on every beard of more than a fortnight's growth. And there was probably quite nn army of villainous looking tuxtlodgcrs who made a practice of bhuvlng every 13 days. Some Egyptologist claim to have discovered In the Palace of Menepthah, recently excavated, a wine mug belonging to Pharaoh of the Exodus. Just think what our beautiful, but now obsolete, stein may be worth i.T,(HN) or 80,000 years hence! Among other candidates for the poison Ivy club may be mentioned the i man who starts his automobile in the residence section at midnight and drives away with a roar that wakes up everybody within two blocks. 'People who have listened to Doctor Einstein say it Is possible to grasp the meaning of -his theory of relativity, which means obscurity for Doctor Einstein so far a the great, faddish world Is concerned. It Is reported that tle Japanese are building warships in secret. If they have hit upon a scheme of keeping It from the taxpayer we Might profitably take a lesson from their experience. Our health officer advKcs us that a swat now will equal the annihilation f 137,000,000 flies. And will save, It might be added, considerable wear and tear on the fly swatter.
Far be It from us to pas3 Judgment in the case where a man Is suing for a divorce because his wife smokes in public. We do know, however, remarks
i Houston Post, that manv men have sought divorces because their wives fairly smoked them up in private. The United States Chamber of Commerce says that tho "golden rule" In business will restore confidence. Even then extra assurances will be necessary, so used have the people become to finding the golden rule only a piece of glided leadplpe. A Brooklyn woman lecturer says, The modern girl has a terrible struggle to land a man." The marriage license list doesn't corroborate her. If she had said "keeping him" the divorce records might have helped her out An Englishman who heard Professor Einstein lecture in Vienna says that It la actually possible to understand his exposition of the theory of relativity. If this is true, the theory will soon lose Its vdgue. People are In the habit of thinking of China as a back number, but there Is a permanent air mall service between Peking and Tientsin, and the Chinese national music is of the Jazz variety. Census figures show population density has Increased nearly five to the square mile in ten years, and at that some of our densest people live in the most sparsely settled areas.

Chas8agne has made more trips to America to compete in racing events than any other driver, but last year was the first time he even finished in the money. He Is a clever driver, but something has always hap pened to mar his success. He hap driven a Sunbeam on one occasion t Indianapolis, has piloted Ballots twice, but this year will find him in a Peugeot.

COMMUNITY HAS NEW IDEA Blanket Insurance Practically Covering Whole Town Is Said to Have Had Excellent Results. All the workers employed by the various Industries located at Kingsport. Tenn., have been Insured against death, sickness and accident under a single group policy the New York Times records. In all about twe thousand persons employed by ten large concerns are thus protected and as the population of the town of KIngsport is estimated at about 10,000, almost every family In the community will receive a financial benefit In case of accident, sickness or death overtaking one of Its bread winning members. The policy has been in effect for some months. According to officials of the insurance company this Is the first Instance known where a whole community has adopted a standardized plan of Insurance. Tho experiment is attracting tin- attention of many other municipalities, especially public ottieials who are Interested In community service. A prominent community worker has said thut the prospeethe financial benefit to be derived by individuals under 1he policy was of far less Importance than the general good which has resulted from the quickening of the conscience of the whole KIngsport community. Garden Cities for Londcn. London Is trying to work out Its housing crisis by building Hille garden cities about twenty miles outside Its limits. These experiments in wholesale home construction are being carried on by the enterprise of private capital backed up with the generous government subdivision that Is being given to all home construction projects. The profits of the promoting company will be limited to svven per cent of the Investment, the proceeds over and above this amount going back Into town Improvements. The Ideal house, ho much talked of In England, that resulted from the Dally Mall competition will be given a practical try-out In this new city. The name of the place when complete! will be Welwyn (Jarden City. New York Post. Plant Vine on Indoor Lattice. In altering old homes rather than Iti the construction of new ones, lattice's and grills seem to appeal to the Interior decorators' scheme of things. The same manner of treatment Is given a too expansive bay window, where. Instead of curtains, decorative ; Jars holding climbing vines are placed j at the sides. The vines will soon make ' the lattice a thing of beauty. The us of the crowing vine on ti e lattice indoors Is growing In favor, the plainness of the walls of the brer.!:fast room Is relieved by the green of the climbing vines. Foolish Question.

THE FAVORITE
r ,r..' r"' Made Solid Concrete by Use of Gal. vanized Steel Reinforcement. This is one of the most popular houses, within the means of the average family. It has all of the modern conveniences and style and regardless of the neighborhood In which it is built, It will always hold Its own In attractiveness. With a slight expense, the front porch could be glazed and add greatly to the comraodlousness of the living room, and another feature which could well be added without additional expense, would be to extend the front windows to the floor, french style, and have them open onto this glazed porch. The porch floor in that case should be made flush with the living room floor so that In case the young people would like to dance, they could circle out one window and In the next. No house is now complete without a phonograph, and the house which entertains Is the popular house In the neighborhood.

ERIDE'S HOUSE IN STUCCO
1 -r - " Out Made Everlasting In Reinforced Concrete Exterior. Here Is a dainty little home for the bride. The walls are finished In white reinforced stucco with roof of variegated fireproof shingles. The plastered wulls will never ' crack because, the triangular mesh lath has an nihility for this kind of plaster and settling or shrinking will 'have no effect. This finish Is doubly economical because It will never have to be painted, and what woodwork there Is in the trim, Is all easy to reach and keep bright and clean. There Is room In the ends of the 24-foot porch for a swinging coufh, and as the porch openings are square. It will be easy to screen. The plan contemplates the use of a rear bedroom for regular use while (the "company room" opens Into tho dining room. The living room Is largo enough for 'any kind of treatment. The kitchen Is Intelligently planned with a well-lighted pantry and Ice box with Ice door opening out on the back porch, a feature which will be appreciated by every housekeeper. In the hall is a small linen closet which Is too often overlooked. The back entry porch can easily be If the United States should take Great Britain's West India Islands Jamaica would have to produce less gin and more ginger. Spring poetry of the cold In the head variety Is due with the words muted on the wrong letters instead of on the mg and B8 oniy.
STUCCO DESIGN
V -.ri On each side of the chimney Is a place for bookcases or built-in seats, a feature which will add greatly to the economy of furnishing. The kitchen Is not large, but Is complete in every respect, there being plenty of light over the sink where light often falls. The refrigerator is situated in the pantry. It is Iced from the back porch. The bathroom is cleverly built Lf shape to fit in with the stairway, giving plenty of room for all the fixtures. One of the most desirable features of this house is its stucco covering. Helng reinforced on triangular mesh galvanized steel fabric which will not rust, the cement plaster will cling absolutely tight under all circumstances, no cracks appearing through expansion or shrinkage. A very pleasing effect may be added by shingling with variegated shingles, adding a color note, which ordinary roofs often lack. The ends of the rafters give it a bungalow look. I A 1-
