Mr. John, one of the most famous «rtlsts of Europe, brought suit for r j "damages when Lord Leverhulme cut n the head out of a portrait the artist had made for him. Although the wealthy barrister h*d paid for the paintidg, Augustus John took the stand that a painting by an artist should not be altered, mutilated or changed in any way during the lifetime of the artist creating It The Guild of Free Lance Artipts ha* cabled the following resolution to him : "Resolved, That this guild is in hearty sympathy with Augustus John in his controversy with Lord Leverhulme and extends to the artist its united appreciation of his legal fight sincerely hoping he will be successful." The guild here Is affiliated with the Authors' League of America and numbers among the members of it3 council such well-known artists a^ W. T. Benda, Franklin Booth, Arthur William Brown, C. D. Falls, Frederic R. Oruger, Wallace Morgan, Henry Reuterdahl, Tony Sarg, F. G. Cooper and R. F. Schabelitz. In Europe the artists went further than adopting resolutions of sympathy. The Latin quarter of Paris, Italian art circles and European art circles generally were greatly aroused. An effigy of Lord Leverhulme was car* rled in a big street pageant at Florence, Italy, and then burned. I¥3 Has This Woman Motorist a Conscience? D science when she drives an auto mobile over .the body of a nine-year* old boy and leaves him In the street to die? So questioned Mrs. Thomas H.

Tulley, nine-yearold playmate of Mario. Young Campiglia was run down and killed by a small touring car on Sixteenth avenue, »e«r City park. "My son, Patrick, told me that after the automobile struck little Mario," she said, "a woman got .out of the «ar and walked back to where the little fellow lay in the street, un- «onsdous and bleeding.

FRAME HOUSE OF1 L Story and a Half Structure Makes an Attractive Home. HAS SU( COMFORTABLE fcOQNlS Built 'Along Colonial Lines With All the Features That Make That Style Appealing to Those Seeking Comfort, By WILLIAM A. RADFORD. Mr. WUliun A.

Radford, No. 1827 Prairie avenue, Ohlc*«ro. 111., and only enclose twt»-eent stamp for reply. There are many people who, despite the conveniences afforded by modern apartments, prefer a home of their own, small but modern and pleasing In appearance. They yearn for a yard fot^the children to play in and a home with room, free from the feeling of crampiness that is so often found In apartment buildings of the condensed type. For these people there Is no better type of home than the story-and-a-half structure with living rooms downstairs and bedrooms In the half-story above. Set In a wide lot. with plenty of room for a lawn, garden patch and a garage In the rear, this house affords the essential features of a real home. Such a building is the one shown here with floor plans. The exterior Is very pleasing and Inviting, yet eft the same time unusual enough to please the most Individual tastes. Built of frame It has helped to make the living room the ! important room of the home and an ideal place for family recreation and reading. On each side of this fireplace are wall bookcases with glass doors. Above the bookcases are two small ^tndows, which, together with the double window facing the porch, afford plenty of light and air to the room. Directly to the rear of the living room and connected with it by means of another wide doorway, Is the dining room, equally large and comfortable. It is 14 feet square, with double exposure, a bay window on the side and three windows In the rear. Underneath the large center window in the rear Is a buffet. The kitchen completes the first floor plan. Built along the popular small, compact lines, it is large enough for D'OxlKT ft-J DedEM DEDRA CfcxlJCf Second Floer Plan. all the needs of the housewife and not too large to cause extra work and attention. ' A small pantry provides ^plenty of storage place for foodstuffs, etc. The equipment in the kitchen includes a range, ice box and sink. The sleeping rooms have been placed on the second floor. There are three bedrooms and bathroom. The bedrooms are 18 feet by 11 feet, 18 by 10 feet 6 Inches, and 12 feet 6 Inches by 18 feet Each room is provided with a closet for clothes, and all have double exposure, plenty of window space a-nd ventilation, which Is most essential to healthful sleeping quarters. This type of house can be heatec| very efficiently by either a pipelesA a steep sloping side gabi<? roof with broad -Jocmers. The front porch extending the full width of the house Is set under the main roof and supported by four colonial columns which gives the Impression of the hospitable mansions of colonial days. There are no porch rails, an unusual feature, while the steps, five In number, are built of brick laid on edge and flanked by balustrades of the same material and construction. The front entrance carries out the idea of colonial (ftslgn suggested by the front porch. It consists of a door with two narrow side panels of the type found so often in houses of the purely colonial style. The windows are also of this same design, double hung with small panes.

C.--Mrs. John McKensle, the "Snow Widow" and idol of the Cree Indians, again Is to become a bride at the age of ninety. Rumor has It that every evening at dusk a reffinan makes his way to the wigwam of the "Snow Widow." He will become her fourth husband. All through the North the weird, tragic tale of the Snow Widow is etlH whispered at night in the glow of the campfires. But in the records of the Hudson Bay company may be found the true story. The Crees say the Snow Widow teprssents the great wtf et the the front of the porch and on the front dormer add a picturesque touch to the picture. A reception hall opens off the front entrance 'with stairs leading to the floor above, and a handy closet at one end for street clothes. Through a wide open doorway entrance Is gained to the large and comfortable living room, 14 feet 6 Inches by 13 feet 0 inches. In the wall opposite the doorway Is a large open brick fireplace which has come to mean so much in the modern home. Today it is a necessary feature not only because of its architectural beauty but because it is Intensely practical and a sure source at comfort In the cold month* It has furnqgp £r warm air pipe system, as there Is plenty of circulation afforded by wide open doorways. The pretty plan has been made as complete as possible by the addition of a two-car garage in the rear built along the same architectural lines as the main structure, so as to harmonize thoroughly with It ' Both buildings have wide siding, painted white. A trackway of concrete running along the side of the house from the street leads the way to the garage.* The house Is 26 feet wide and 90 feet long. As an-ldeal home for a medium slsed family this house Is hard to beat. It has all the conveniences of a larger home without the extra work and affords the necessary air and sunlight for the successful development of children. Finally, It is attracti£B. ju)4 particularly Inviting. i* A«-; • AlbSe Operation Adopted. Albee's operation .for tuberculous spine seems not to have been known In England until at a repent medical convention Dr. A. Rendle Short heard American surgeons speak so glowingly of it that he used it In four cases with striking success In three and comparative success In one. The operation consists in splitting the spines of five vertebrae and inserting a long graft from the shin bone. When the - graft has healed the five vertebrae form a rigid mass.

Many writers sleep with pencil andf notebook under their pillows and a lamp at hand, so that they may dash off the thoughts that come to them In the watches of the night. It is said that Mary E. Wllkins Freeman, has a typewriter handy on an extension spring, which she draws out flroni the wall on Its shelf and places In position before her If she cannot sleep. There is about these thoughts a clarity that does not come with daytime thinking--a sureness of vision that approaches the clairvoyant A problem with which we have wrestled In the daylight, weighing it with all our intelligence, is settled in a certain way, calmly and Judicially, and after mature reflection. Our decision seems the right one. And then, suddenly, in the dead of the night, that selfsame issue bobs up before our mental vision, wakes us from a sound sleep and ditties Itself in qrtite another way,* In one great flash! A strong white light has been turned upon the brain and*has revealed there a conclusion of which we bad no inkling before. The processes of arriving at It are a closed chapter. 'The clairvoyant brain has registered a result only. And again and again it will be found to be the right, the expedient solution. Memory, too, is peculiarly keen in the silences between midnight and 4 o'clock in the morning. All cobwebs have been swept from the brain by the first hours of sleep; the body and nerve centers are singularly rested; there are no noises to disturb and some subconscious power is at work within us.

For as I see life it is no particular credit to the duck that swims, or to the songbird that sings; wherefore should the young man who has been endowed with brains make boast that he uses them? That which Is natural to man should In no way be made to appear unnatural. Don't strut and pose, as one that Is better than another. For In what Is natural to you, you may excel, but what is natural to another would make you appear ridiculous.

And keep this truth forever h» mind, since one man is given the gift to play the violin. and another to write and another to paint and still others are endowed with strength for heavy tasks, and others to lay brick for houses, he who does his best In the work he Is fitted to do has no right to lord It over his neighbor who is serving the world in his way.

The poppy seems fated to go down into history as the "memoriaf flower of the American Legion." It Is the common scarlet variety oi that flowro growing so freely in waste places that won the regard of the men overseas, for It bloomed on ajiout them, and often the flower was the only beautlfal thing the soldiers saw for days upon days. ' The poppy is one of the oldest flowers in- the worltfs literature, and has been sung in verse and mentioned In holy books by all races. The oriental popples are of orange-crimson with black centers and large seed hags,* which burst and scatter the see<fc In all directions. Other varle^es Include the slender Iceland poppy, the yellow California variety and the big double flowers. None of them has any perfume, but they depend upon beauty of form and color to attract and hold the Mystery Machine. . There was much mystery about a perpetual motion machine, set up as a sign and advertisement over a street In Los Angeles not long ago. It bad the form of a huge wheel that revolved slowly all day and all night being driven by a number of metal balls which ran aldng spokes from the center to the circumference and back. Gravity was supposed to furnish the power, and thus the machine could s?o on forever without depending upon any other sources of eneegy. Unfortunately, however, there came a day when the city's "electric plant was shut down for repairs, and the wheel stopped turning.--Philadelphia Ledger. --_______ ^ Encouraging Prickly Pear Growth.

An example of the far-reaching activities of American industry is to be found in a gold dredge that has been designed and constructed in this country for the purpose of operating in New Zealand gold fields. This dredge, says the Electrical Review, is built by a New York company and Is along the type of dredge constructed for operations In Alaskan fields. Power for dredging, pumping and shifting position is furnished by electric motors, while twelve men working four to a shift constitute the crew. The general method of dredging is as follows: The digglpg ladder carrying the buckets is" lowered and dirt Is scooped up. This dirt is dropped on the conveyor belt and is carried to the screen. Here It is screened and washed and the refuse Is dropped to the stacker and deposited. The pay dirt that remains is further washed on gold tables or laundries, and then passed to a gold box, where the gold is recovered. Remaining deposits in this gold box are treated about once a week with mercury, mo that all the gold is obtained either in nugget or in the form of an aftnalgam. PROPER TIME TO ADVERTISE Fact Should Be Recognized That Period of Slackness Demands Increase of Publicity. lite- best time to advertise and to use every other means of bringing In orders is when orders are most needed. Yet quite a few people, Including some very large concerns, are canceling their advertising and cutting down other selling expenses at the very time they w^nt orders more than they have needed them in several years. Any old concern could sell its product while the boom was roaring along like a prairie fire and people were spending money with thouglttless abandon. A change has come.

All the clocks work busily all the, timd--even the one for waiting. This is probably because the passenger, due to the hard tires, is either waiting to bounce up or t<£ fall back after a bump during the entire ride. After determining the amount registered by each clock at the end of a ride, these sums are added together and multiplied by four. Monastery Sells Famous Painting. An investigation conducted by the civil governor of Toledo, Spain, regarding the reported sale of the painting of St. Veronica, the work of Theotocopuli, by the clerical authorities of Santo Domingo monastery, confirms that the picture was dispbsed of with the consent of the government and the regllglous authorities in August.
