The subject of cement construction
for homes has attracted much atten-
tion among architects In the last few
years, and on account of the popular
demand for such houses Is bound to re-
¡main in the front. There is no ques
tion that the well-built cement house
is both economical and sanitary. It
s warm in winter and cool in sum-
mer. Now, lest there be some preju-
dice in the mind of any reader, It may
not be out of place to make a little
fancy work. The making of good
concrete, whether in the form of
blocks or In walls, Is no boy's job. It
requires intelligence, just as any con-
struction work does. Now, the con-
crete block should not be condemned
for what the offenders against it have
done. It Is human nature to judge
things íy their worst aspects. And
the men who made blocks that absorb
water or crumble have done a great
mischief to tbe block. There are
throughoüt the country thousands of
well built concrete block houses that
will stand forever and are moisture
proof. But one poor house will create
An adverse impression that a dozen
good houses cannot overcome. The
writer knows of many flne cement
houses that attest the value of cement
in home construction. Cement is
pliable and capable of being adapted
reference to one of the aspects of the
cement construction Held 'that may
remove that prejudice, or help to, at
least. It is a fact that some poor
work has been done, especially with
concrete blocks. A campaign was
made over the country a few years
ago by the machinery men who' had

concrete block machinery to sell urg-
ng every man ta buy a machine and
«0 Into the business of making blocks.
'Alluring Inducements even were of-
fered, and thousands of men bought
^machines who were no more fitted to
make concrete blocks as they should
be made, than they were to crochet
to nearly any design the architect
may select.
Cement houses require no repairs
whatever, and the older they get the
more nearly like stone they become.
Cement work placed In the Coliseum
of Rome Is as strong today as it was
2,000 years ago when It was put there.
So In selecting the materials for the
construction of a home or even of any
other structure that it Is desired
should be lasting no better material
than cement can be selected.
Now, for cement construction the
design of the home shown hefe Is per-
fectly adapted. This house may be
built of eight-inch concrete blocks for
the walls and for the porch, and the
round porch columns may be of
molded cement. The design calls for
an elaborate basement. Here the
furnace room will be located and also
the kitchen, toilet, a laundry and
coal bin. On the main*floor there is
a good sized living .room, a dining
room and two bedrooms. The size
of the house is 23 feet 6 inches wide
and 37 feet long. If it Is possible a
site should be selected for the house
where gravel will be available on the
ground for the making of the blocks.
This can be taken from the excava-
tion for the basement If that is done
it will greatly reduce the /cost. The
blocks should all he made In ad-
vance and allowed plenty of time to
cure. The secret of making a concrete
block that will be Impervious to wa-
ter is to\ use a well graded-gravel,
that is, a gravel In which the stones
vary in size from sand to stones a
half inch in diameter. The cement
should be sound and plenty of it
should be used with a waterproofing
of hydrated lime in the face. The mix-
ing should be ¡thorough and plenty of
water ahould be used. If these dlreo>
tlons are followed a block will reeult
that will be waterproof, mile the
blocks are curing they should be sprln
kled three times a day for a week or
ten days without fail.

duction of frame either with the

Walking Is Fashionable.
Carriages and motor cars for shop-
ping and short-distance visits are for
the moment in disfavor In London and
the latest fad among women is to
walk. One of the reasons for this is
that owing to the large number of
canceled social engagements as a re-
sult of the national mourning women
have time to shop with leisure and
comfort. Instead of rushing from con-
cert to reception, etc., every after-
noon, they make Informal calls on old
friends. Usually in the season the
London society woman rarely walks a
step. She has neither time nor inclin-
ation.
Physicians are encouraging the fad
and are doing their best to make deli-
cate patients try it. They are recom-
mending it as a cure for jaded nurves.
üllowly, but surely walking Is becom-
ing the most fashionable pursuit of
this dull season.
Women will make time to walk, it Is
predicted, and England will once more
be able to boast of her feminine pe-
destrians who do their ten miles a
>day easily, as they used to do 20 years
ago.—New York Sun.
"Dental DJvlnatlon."
In Parts the theory that man's soul
and also woman's, is revealed by the
length, shape, inclination and spacing
of the teeth has been put forward by
certain dentist-physicians, and society
Is greedily grasping at the novelty.
The new method of "dental divina-
tion" Is declared to be much more cer-
tain than palmistry, mind reading,
phrenology or such old-fashioned di-
versions as fortune telling by cards
and teacups. One newspaper an-
nounces thaPinvltatlons are already
out for a "dentomacy seance." Here
are Bome of the "secrets" which the
new "science" professes to lay bare:
Long, narrow teeth indicate vanity;
teeth small, separated and very white
are a certain sign of Inconstancy and
fickle character; long, irregular teeth,
projecting forward, are an index of
avarice and egoism; small, uneven
teeth indicate an uncertain disposi-
tion, with a tendency to nervousness;
untruthfulness is shown by teett
which crowd and overlap.

QOT THE BEST OF HIS WIFE
Philadelphia Man la Chuekling Over
How He Worsted Her in an
Argument.
Sometimes man has the last word,
>ut it Isn't often in these days of suf-
fragettes, and a certain business man
of West Philadelphia la chuckling over
the way he got the beet of hla wife In
an argument the other day.
She Is a nice, little curly-headed
woman, who adores her husband, home
and babies, but has been Inoculated
with the germ of votes for women,
lo every day at breakfast she greets
ler husband with: "George, I'm go-
ing to a suffrage meeting today, and
want you to tell me something about
the attitude of men toward women's
rlghta," or "George, at the meeting yes-
terday I waa told I must bring you to
reason."
George had borne It patiently till,
coached by a militant neighbor, his
wife stood up and In a volee suited
for the rostrum cried: "Tou muat ad-
mit my ability and right to vote. The
women of the oountry are aiming all
their power against you husbands now
and—"
"Forget the rest, my dear," said
George, belligerently, "and just let me
tell you that bo long as women are
aiming at the men ,they'll never get
the right to vote. No female ever yet
hit a mark she aimed at"—Philadel-
phia Times.
Mr. Carnegle'e Coat of Arme.
A finely finished drawing, represent-
ative of both the weaver's and the
shoemaker's craft, in. which is Intro-
duced the shuttle and the knife, the
Scotch thistle and the boar's head-r-
the weaver's coat of arms—has just
been placed In a position of honor in
Slgbo castle. On the occasion of the
drive last «summer, which is annually
provided by Mr. Carnegie to the old
folks of his native town, who. have
been connected with hand loom weav-
ing, the Laird of Ski bo wrote recall-
ing the fact that hla ancestors on
his father's side were weavers, and on
hla mother's aide shoemakers, and
that hla emblems of nobility would
naturally be a weaver's shuttle crossed
by a ehoemakefs lmife. "Some of the
old weavers," Mr. Carnegie added,
"may think over a proper motto."—
Westminster Gazette.
Mark Twain as "Attraction."
A girl who was a stranger to Mark
Twain once found her way into his
Bermuda home with the hope o( get-
ting a sight of the author. She came
suddenly in contact with him and
frankly explained her errand.
"Have you see the crystal cove yet,"
he arted, "or the %quarlum?"
"No, I came to see you first," she
answered.
"Well, you shouldn't have seen me
first," he answered. "I run In opposi-
tion to the crystal and the acquarlum.
But tney're not shucks to me. I'm
lots better. I give them their money's
worth. But you should see them.
Then you'll appreciate me."
This was said in his most earnest
drawl and with only a sparkle of
humor *n his keen blue eyes.

JUST A NATURAL MISTAKE
Gussle, in Fancy Costume, Astonished
the Doorkeeper for a
Moment.
Gussle was knock-kneed, angular
and round-shouldered. He had a ter-
rible squint, and a mouth like a steam
roller. All the same, he reckoned on
making something of a hit at the
fancy dress ball, and his costume was
as elegant as his figure was unlovely.
With fast-beating heart he stepped
jauntily from his automobile outside
the town hall, where the ball was be-
ing held. The hall porter stepped back-
ward at the unsightly apparition.
"Great Christopher Columbus!" he
gasped as he regarded Gussle.
"No, no, my good maní" chirped
Gussle, as he tripped through the por-
tals. "Chawles the First, my dear fel-
low—Chawles the First!"—London An-
swers.
Mrs. Wlggln's Idea of London.
During thet recent vlBit of Mrs. Wig-
gin, the American author, in London,
an Interviewer called on her. With
pencil poised, the interviewer asked:
"And what do you think of London,
Mrs. Wiggln?"
"You remind me," answered the au-
thor cheerfully, "of the young lady
who sat beside Dr. Gibbon at dinner.
She turned to him after the soup.
" 'Do, dear Dr. Gibbon,' she said,
'tell me about the decline and fall of
the Roman empire.'"
Rockefeller's Hard Shot.

The boy laughed and answered:
"Jaw-Jah, bosB."
