it omlfere and There Greater New York Swallows 'Elm All as Broadway and with the change wtlj pass the last vestige of recognition of Williamsburg. This la interesting because there was orice a city of Williamsburg within the boundaries of the present *ty of New York. Williamsburg was a village--one of the many that made up what Is now Brooklyn--until 1851, when It was Incorporated as a city and Dr. A. J.. Berry was elected mayor. He took office In 1852, and Williamsburg assumed its place as one of the cities of New York state, along with New York, Brooklyn, Albany and other centers of population. In 3853 the project of a Greater Brooklyn materialized. Brooklyn, Bushwick and Williamsburg (then a city of 5.000 Inhabitants) were consolidated, and Williamsburg as a city, after two years only of separate existence, ceased to exist. The mayor of Williamsburg laid down the regalia of office sixty-six years ago. The Greater New York will celebrate the twentyfifth year of Its establishment next year--its first quarter of a century.

Y., the following resolution was adopted: "Whereas, the name Williamsburg Bridge refers to a section not geographically bounded and vague and foreign to most of the population. It is advocated that the name be changed to Broadway Bridge. Thus the traveling public will recognize the terminal of the bridge and much confusion will be averted." So the big bridge between Brooklyn and b*w ¥«ck is likely to be known "Be&use tjie Law Should Be Enforced" MINNEAPOLIS.--That he was severe in sentencing liquor law violators "because the law should be enforced," and "because it never can be made effective unless I am severe," was the statement of Judge Page Morris of the United States District court here. Judge Morris' wholesale sentencing to Jail of bootleggers and venders of Illicit liquor has caused consternation among those arrested for violating the law. Many persons plead they have large famlllef and ask to be let off with fines. Such pleas generally result In heavier Jail sentences and fines. "It Is remarkable the number of large families we have in this district," Judge Morris asserted. "Easy sentence®, dont accomplish anything," said the federal Jurist, "and I am sending liquor law violators to Jail wherever the statutes enable me to do so." Judge Morris said he Imposed sentences to the federal' penitentiary at Leavenworth only in extreme cases, but two men had been recently sent to that institution when convicted of conspiracy to violate the liquor laws. Pour county Jails in this district have been comfortably filled with federal paying "guests? since Judge Morris started his campaign several weeks ago. "But "there Is plenty of room yet," be said. "Ramsey, Hennepin, Winona and Wabash counties' jails are pretty full, but there Is still plenty of room." Judge Morris has adopted several means for speeding up liquor cases For one thing, an accused who pleads guilty for the first offense generally has the option of a fine or at least a comparatively short Jail sentence. But to plead not guilty- and then be convicted means JalL Greek Sage Had Nothing on This One OS ANGELES. Weird ceremonies and strange beliefs have been partially revealed through the filing of a contest of the will of Walter Lock wood Thales, who for a third of a century led bis disciples in practicing Oriental teachings. At the coming hearing of the case la the Superior court of Orange county at Santa Ana, the secrets of the "Mystery House" on the Thalps estate near Placentia, where Thales and many of his original followers lie burled under the trees, will also be disclosed. Relatives of Thales, who came here from England after his will bequeathing ten acres of land near Placentia to the four remaining colonists was filed for probate, initiated the contest. Opposing the contestants are Mrs. Matilda Wiederhold, her son, William, Mary and Vera Smith #and Frank V. Hinde, all members of the colony. Thirty-five years ago Thales came to California and founded his cult People from all over the world came to Join the mysterious colony. The peculiar tenets which Thales taught his followers may be briefly summarized as follows: That the living, if members of the colony, were In constant communion with the dead. To this end, Thales asserted that be had the seams of his bead opened to let the spirits In. All of the rooms in the "Mystery House" were built in circular form. Thales declared that square rooms were a bad thing for the spirits. Thales died December 24, 1021. Louis Lockwood, Thomas Lockwood, Martha Carter and Hammond Lockwood, all of England, caught the next steamer after they heard of Thales* death. They declared that Thales was mentally unfit to draw up a will. CAN BE BUILT ECONOMICALLY This Little Bungalow Has Distinctiveneea That Will Make It 8tand Out Mr iiiy City--Convenient - Arrangement. ' By WILLIAM A. RADFORD Mr. William A. Radford will answer questions an4 give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building, for the readers of this paper. On account of his witje experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, ha is, without doubt, the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all Inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 1827 Prairie avenue. Chicago, 111.- and only Inclose two-cent stamp for reply. There Is a decided tendency in Amerisa today to build smeller homes. Many homeseekers no longer seem to care for a large house, but are preferring small, compact and cozy bungalows. They realize It doesn't take such a great deal of space to live huppily and comfortably. A bungalow is much easier to take care of and may .....gs® SpSS economical cost at which thUl could be built. Your local builder will be able to quota sonable figures, for It is. conSttgieted of regular, substantial and permanent materials^ It Is well put together, will last a long time and give excellent service. The Interior arrangement Is very pleasing and convenient. The living room, two bedrooms and bath are located on one side of the house, while the vestibule, dining room, breakfast room and kitchen occupy the other half. The rooms are all large and ^omfortable and are well lighted and ventilated. They have remembered In designing this bungalow that first of all a home should have a comfortable atmosphere. They have made provision for all the features that make your home what It should be--the place you enjoy going to most. From the front porch'you enter the vestibule, which Is 6 by 6 feet. Directly to the right Is a coat closet and built-in seat, providing a very handy place. The living room, -directly to the left of the vestibule, can be furnished very attractively arid comfortably as it Is an excellent sise, 14 feet 6 inches by 12 feet. It has four wtndows facing the street and three on the side. On one side of the room Is a genuine fireplace, a built-in seat and built-in bookcases. Directly ahead of the vestibule is the dining room, a particularly con-, venient size, being 11 by 12 feet. One of the most attractive features In this ,. Tim:; % be furnished so much more economically and still attractively. / The modern apartment buildings Introduced and are responsible for the popular'ty of the small living quarters. After enjoying the advantages, conveniences and labor-saving efllcharming bungalow is the neat little breakfast room Just between the dining room and kitchen with table and seats to accommodate four. The kitchen, not too large or too small, Is a practical size that every housewife will appreciate. It is small clency of apartments many people j enough to save steps, yet there is plenty were no longer satisfied with a large' of space for all the equipment she house after they had moved into a needs. It opens onto the back platform novate home. Then they found that the small homes similar to the one bums n in the accompanying photograph offered all the advantages of a« >p»rtjpfn,t house ^ithout any of noeoffr SHCULO HAVE 50 MUCH inoHEr- The Eccentric's Spurned Million Dol|p NEW YORK.--When Charles Oarland, eccentric Massachusetts "socialist" and "platonic love expert," Inherited $1,000,000 more than a year ago, he startled the world by refuting to accept It. He said nobody was entitled to that amount. And he began bis investigations in the realm of love. Between his researches for the "true mate" and his trustees' efforts to dispose of the legacy, Garland has caused a great deal of publicity. Various young women have come and gone from 'the "love farm" near Lenox, Mass., and Mrs. Garland finally got tired of the dual role of wife and witness to her mate's experiments. She sailed to Europ* recently. p Last July Garland turned over $850 ,000 to the American' Fund for Public Service, Inc., to be used only OBr "public services." "Since July," said Roger N. Bald- Win, secretary of the fund, "the directors made a complete survey of the Whole field of enterprises of an experimental or pioneer character In to shape a policy for handling the money if it Is taken over. So far the directors have been merely responding to the pressure of the needs put up to them. "Only about one-third of the 181 applications made have been favorably considered. The full $20,000 of income has been paid out or pledged and about $60,000 uninvested capital has been loaned out at Interest to nine different enterprises, chiefly labor publications. One loan of about $25,000 was made for strike relief to a district of the United Mine Workers.' The two bedrooms and bath open onto a short hall that is entered from the dining room. The bathroom is located Just between the two bedrooms. The bedrooms are very comfortable, both being 11 by 12 feet. There are two windows in one room and three in the other arranged so there always will be plenty of fresh air. One room Is equipped with a space-saving closet similar to those installed In most highclass apartment hotels. An attractive small home sueh as this can be built of cement stucco on concrete blocks or tile, or on metal lath placed on wood studs without the inclusion of sheathing, and then plastered both outside and'in. The metal lath makes a rigid reinforced concrete exterior which fully protects the wood frame, and is of Itself practically indestructible. The house is 24 feet" 6 Inches by 46 feet 6 inches antf sits well on s goodsized lot, leaving plenty of space for a beautiful lawn. ffiifflilitMi J the Nestlings Have Flown Away tne disadvantages they frequently have. ,Thls little bungalow Is especially designed for those homeseekers who prefer a stucco home, yet one that is small and comfortable. It has a distinctiveness that will make it stand out in any city. It will attract the attention jf every passer-by for Its beauty and aristocratic appearance. It Is a place that you will look forward going to, a place you will be proud to point out as your home. One of {he most desirable features-- -Several 'Unusual Dishes May Be Made From Squash or Pfaropkin. . Fig Juice Used to Dye Cloth. As far back as history goes the fig tree has been a house-yard tree. "Beneath the vine and fig tree" Is used more than once In the Old Testament to designate "home." For centuries the fruit, fresh or dried, has made up a large part of the food of the natives of western Asia and southern Europe. Its juice Is used to make a drink, and also to dye cloth. Its leaves polish ivory, and the bark makes cord, the sap of one species is poisonous. The fig tree, in climates congenial to its growth, produces two. and sometimes three crops of fruit the same year, on distinct shoots. The trees grow readily from cuttings, and are propagated by budding, grafting, and seeds. The large, beautiful leaves are deciduous, palmately veined, three-tofive lobed, wavy-margined, JmdjMjjner. what rough and leathery. W.} ':;V ' Expressive CriticlsHi. v In Chicago the other day a monument was unveiled in honor of Eugene Field. Most of us remember Field mainly for his verses; the only prose remark of his that we personally can recall offhand is one about an actor who In "Lear" "played the King as though he was afraid some one would also a most important one--Is the play the Ace."--Boston Transcript. I %L \;;V JCOLORADO STRINGS. COLO.--Mrs. ftBenjamin C. Allen has met and is solving the question which is faced by •nauy women whose children have )WD up, married and moved away. ,e has found that the house that "comfortably roomy" when the was all under roof is too large the younger members are gone 'Mto their own homes. Mrs. Allen's problem Is area greater - than that of most women, fw hers Is * 40-room house. It is s $500,000 manaion, which for fifteen years has been * itMW JIMI to a iacattty of stow * "V . , . places--Broadmoor. Her method of solution was unique. She Is having the mansion wrecked and It will be replaced by a $10,000 bungalow of considerably less than 40 rooms--four rooms. ^ Brick by brick the structure is being demolished. More than 100 workmen are busy in ail parts of the huge building. Each polished narrow strip of the hardwood flooring is carefully lifted and stored for future use. The great paneled oak doors and the wainscoting are loosened with Infinite care and taken away without so much as a mark of a hammer or crowbar. Weeks ago every piece of furniture was taken away in its white coverings. Mrs. Allen has left for Philadelphia, where shfe formerly was a social leader. While there she will consult her architect on the plans for the $10,000 bungalow which will be erected. When It Is finished Mrs. Allen will return to make it her home. The estate, except for the mansion, will stand as It Is. Mrs. Allen expects thes really te be WORD HAS BUT ONE MEANING J: Term "Thoroughbred" Is Often Looeely Applied by Those Who Have Nat ° Studied Subject. A Poweshiek county (Iowa) subscriber to the Prairie Farmer writes: "There has been considerable discussion here over the distinction between pure-bred and thoroughbred live stock, and some of your readers want you to explain the matter in the paper." In times past these two words have been used very loosely in referring to live stock of' all kinds and of any breed. The word thoroughbred should not be used except when referring to the thoroughbred running horse. It is really the name of a breed of horses. The word pure-bred Is properly used when referring to any live, stock that is pure-bred; that Is, live stocky which Is eligible to registry in the association of its particular 'ireed. Hence we say pure-bred Poland Chinas, purebred Shorthorns, pure-bred Percheroos, pure-tired Shrooshlres. or .purebred animals of any other class or breed of live stock. In some sections th<iword thoroughbred Is used to describe high-class animals Which are not eligible to registry. It Is not uncommon to hear a man say: "These cattle are thoroughbred, but not pure-bred," by which he means to say that they are to all intents and purposes pure-bred animals, but are not eligible to registry. This is an improper use of the word thoroughbred. Animals which are not pure-bred are grades. They may be very high grades, but nevertheless they are grades. The word thoroughbred should not be used except when referring to the thoroughbred breed of horses. (Prepared by the United Stat** Department of Agriculture.) Either pumpkin or squash may be used* In the following recipes, which suggest a number of out-of-the-orditiary dishes made from the sliced or canned vegetables in addition to pie. The recipes have been tested by the United-States Department of Agriculture. To prepare the pumpkin or squash cttt It open, remove the seeds and stringy portion, and pare. Very young, tender squash, of the round white or yellow crooknecked varieties may b§ cut up and cooked without paring. When baking Hubbard squash or pumpkin It may be_cut up Into threeinch squares clean of seeds and baked without paring, rind side down. One of the most satisfactory methods of cooking pumpkin or squash is by steaming it till tender in a colander or steamer over boiling water. Cooked in this way it la less watery than when boiled. Pumpkin 'dr Squash as a Vegetable. in addition to plain mashed steamed pumpkin, seasoned with butter, salt and pepper, or baked squares of pumpkin, this excellent vegetable may be served creamed, glazed or en casserole.

RICE IS GOOD FOR CHILDftEK Cooked In Milk, It Has Rich Flavot and Is Particularly Nourishing- Fine for Lunch. Rica cooked in milk has JI fi£hei flavor than when cooked in water and is particularly nourishing and wholesome for children. As a school lunch dish the United States Department of Agriculture suggests that rlc< may be served with tomato sauce and grated cheese, as the main dish of the meal, or with maple sirup oi crushed fresh fruit as dessert One cup of rtee will absorb a quail of milk when cooked slowly in • double boiler. First wash the ricc thoroughly in several waters so a« to remove all loose starch, then drop It slowly Into the hot milk, and add one teaspoonful of salt for each cupftil of rice. Cpok the rice until the grains are soft when pressed between^thumb and finger, or for about thirty minutes. Remove the lid of the double boiler during the last part of the coooklng, so that the grains will separate. BROILING STEAKS OR CHOPS "Pan Broiling" Is Cheaper Way, Sug- -.. fjfjta the Department,;f< > " ' ^ Agriculture. % th broiling steaks or chopsao you Use the gas broiler or do you "pan broil" them? The United States Department of Agriculture says the latter is the cheaper way. Heat the frying pan sizzling hot, brush it with Just enough fat to keep the meat from sticking, turn the meat quickly from side to side to retain all the.Juices. Meat cooked In this way is often more Juicy than when broiled in the oven. Made Nickname Famous.

THI PHtK PIG was nothing in the world Peggy wanted more than a pink pig. .Not a really, ""•-Ttfff.,.-,,. truly pig, But a nice pig you could hug. Peggy dldnt think it would do to hug a real pig. In the first place the pig might not like to be hugged. She had always heard that they much preferred t o h a v e t h e i r backs scratched. And then a real pig might want to (w.„ „ . eat right at tha very time for coay ^ tiuggSng and a , pleasant, comfy .^4 "time. . . And that wonld be far from nice. Be- - sides a real pig would have to live la the barn or the pig pen or the out-of- ^Vjivi**': doors, whereas she wanted a pig she ' - could take tombed with her. She wanted a pig -to sleep beside her on the ^ ;; pillow and she was sure one couldn't ^ take a really real pig for that. She :>vjV- - | had never heard of a real pig sharing -'J. a pillow with a little girl. So, thinking of all these things, she V!,; 1 knew that what she wanted was a toy sj/K ;'r* ) r f, Oh yes, there was no mistake aboat/or^ M that.
