The Kaiser young people took an automobile ride tc Woodstock Sunday and on their way home met with an accident on icy pavement near the third farmhouse east of Fosdick schoolhouse.

A London paper sighs over the list of original manuscripts which have been bought In England by American collectors. They include Lamb's essay on "Roast Pig," Dickens' "Cricket on ' the Hearth" and "A Christmas Carol," ; Tennyson's "Brook," Thackeray's "Vanity Fair" and Conrad's "Nigger of the Narcissus," "Chance" and "Lord ' Jim." The really important question to, though, what country is producing the most literature the original manuscripts of which will bring; fabulous prices In the future? Two Ways of Making House Fire Resisting The modern methods of building "fire-reslstlng" houses are In two classes. First, the poured concrete type or "monolithic" construction. This has Its distinct sdvantages, but at the same time does not permit of any easy readjustments being made Ip either the exterior or interior of a structure so constructed. The other type Is called the "fabricated" type of construction. This latter is gaining In popularity because of the easy erection of various parts of the building. The Held of materials used In building the "fabricated" type of hoist Is growing larger as the inventor seeks to solve oae of man's greatest problem*, a "flre-safe" home.

The «ae of metal trim or eariar and base and Are-resisting doors mti also essential In a "ftre-resistln^ home. Many good detail* «t light, trim and doors are now on the market and lend decorative effect to thfe completed interiors, especially since the trim or casing around doors and windows is usually treated to match ! the decorated walls. ; The blending of these details make* for spaciousness and harmony and also subdues the room decoration until It acts as a background for furniture, draperies and rugs. This you will note in all modern decorative work. The result is both "fire resisting" and beautiful. The floors can be finished in hardwood laid over sleepers buried in the concrete of the floor structure.

If it Is not too late to offer a remark, we rise to say that an education at the end of college days should include three things: Ability to read, a love for reading worthwhile subjects, and a character strong enough to turn down something-fornothing suggestions. This trinity is sufficient foundation for a successful life. 1 at! T by concrete. For modern "Mediterranean" type or Spanish type of houses tile la essential.
