qnate t( prevent cracks, the method of laying should be artistic, and the form of jointing in harmony with It. All native stones used for rubble wall construction have certain characteristics of color and formation. Certain stones will split easily into long, lat shapes, others break into jagged, irregidar patterns, while others are so soft that they lend themselves to easy shaping in squared (docks of regular size. Sometimes, en the neighborhood may be tilled with round held stones, which can be used to imbed into the fact? of th wall and produce a surface of round lumps. Whatever is the character of the native stone it should he used in Its simplest form and not forced into Imitation of some other type. The oft brown sandstones which are seen In some colonial houses are easily cut and squared; but to cut up a hard stone into such carefully shaped blocks in imitation of this colonial work would not only he a waste of money hut a waste of artistic effect.

Chickweed a Pest in Lawns. The most successful method of combating common chhkwced in lawns, according to specialists of the United States Department of AgricuJture, is to rake out as much of the weed as practicable In the early spring, using a line-tooth garden rake. This will hcrlously retard the growth of the weed. Commercial fertilizer should he heavily applied immediately after raking and the lawn liberally seeded with a good lawn-grass mixture. The heavy growth of grass which should result wi!J tend to crowd out the shallow-rooted chickweed. Constant Mowing and watering throughout tin growIng season will hamper the s : :td of the pest. The lawn should aio be rolle! each strln.
One method of destroying chickweed jH. L Lemme Co. Unit road
Is to allow chickens to have actvss to the lawns early in VI 1,1 spring. Intensive experinit nts have been mad.' with chemicals for destroying chickweed, but without marked success.

Cambridge, Mass. Dr. Harlow Shapley, the astronomer who recently came to Harvard from Mount Wilson observatory In California, announces that he has made discoveries that reveal the universe to be a thousand times greater than scientists have thought. By so doing he has relegated the. earth to a nlane one thousand times
less Important than It has heretofore occupied. And instead of being in the "center of things," as has been understood heretofore, he estimates it to be something like 3t,000,lW.K,000,Oi"0,000,000 miles from the center of the
universe. Doctor Shapley Is a comparatively young astronomer, yet he has won an authoritative place In the science. He is a graduate of the Missouri State University and of Princeton. He was Identified with the Mount Wilson observatory seven years. Py triangulation, taking the distance between sun and earth as a base for measurements, scientists have record
ed vast distances, until such lines have been extended hundreds of light year, even to the border line of measurement, the Pleiades. The same Pleiades are scarcely In the front yard of Doctor ShapleyV Talaxy, which he has measured and ?ound to bo about 300,000 light years from end to end. It is a super-Milky Way.

"BANK CANARY" IS IMPORTANT
Posts Announcement of Discount Rate in Dank.of England According to J Ancient Custom. London. Announcement of a change In the rate of discount of the Bank of England, such as the recent reduction from 7 to G1 per cent, Is an impressive affair. Not one of the many hundreds of the staff of the Rank of England itself knows of the change until the actual announcement is posted, except those with tle governor Inside "the parlor," where the directors of the bank and leading men of the other banks and institutions are gathered to deliberate on the momentous decision which affects all parts of the world. When these deliberations are concluded a gorgeously attired messenger commonly known in the city as the "bank canary" because of his scarlet
coat ami yellow waistcoat, stalks out of the parlor with deliberate slowness
in accordance with ancient custom, carrying a big sheet of paper in a glass frame on which are the magic words "O1 per cent." Hundreds of bankers' clerks messengers and newspaper men who have been thronging the passages push forward to read the notice, which the messenger deliberately keeps face away from the crowd until he has affixed it to the wall. Then there is a scramble for offices, telegraph, telephone booths and cable offices, while press agency representatives wigwag the new rate which is immediately Hashed throughout the world.
Washington. "Insidious patent activity by Germany." in the United States, Is the description given by Sec
retary of War Weeks to the efTorts of German tltivns here to patent devices of war in the nanu of Frederick Krupp. Thf seeivtnry declares- that Investigation of patents and ap; lieatlons for patents iv.tntly announced as having been oi'tained by liernum citizens slums that 22S were assigned to the Krupps, the war implement manufacturer of Germany. "The investigation," said Secretary Weeks, "disclosed a rather striking circumstance in view of the conditions which Germany is supposed to observe as to disarmament and manufacture of war materials under her treaty obligations. "Of the 22S patents, twenty-six relate to artillery tire control devices, eighteen to electric control apparatusf nine to fuses and projectiles, six to gas engines ami appurtenances, seventOen to guns and their appurtenances, three to processes for the prcn duction of metals, ten to naval fire control devices, three to projectiles and machines for handling same, fourteen to railroad artillery, and the balance to varied uses, most of which might well relate to military use. "Incident to making this Investigation, It was noted that a large number of patents and applications had been assigned to numerous other German countries and a casual examination Indicates that a considerable number relate to airplanes and their accessories, chemicals, dyes, radio apparatus and naval equipment. "Investigation is being made of all these assignments and considerable progress; has been made looking toward introduction of corrective measures In congress for the protection of those American industries In which the war department Is especially Interested, against this recurrence of insidious patent activity by Germany."

Pennsylvania Woman Would Rather Be Washerwoman in America Than an Heiress in Sweden. Philadelphia. "I would rather be a washerwoman in the United State. than an heiress In Sweden," declared Mrs. Jennie Hendrickson of Waterville, Pa., as she straightened up from the washtub and patriotically waved a suds garment. "I couldn't think of going back to the old country," she said, "after having lived in the good old U. S. A. I would die of homesickness." Word came to Mrs. Hendrickson a short time ago that two granduncles recently had died in Sweden, leaving her a share in a large fortune which, according to some reports, amounted to nearly $2,000,000. Mrs. Hendrickson engaged a lawyer to go to Sweden to look after her interests. He came back with the news that there would be no money for her so tong as she remained in Uds country. 'TU never go back, no matter how much money there is waiting for me," said Mrs. Hendrickson.
