PH O T O G R A PH . SECOND FLOOR P LA N . H ere is a splendid idea o f what can be done with a moderate amount of money in the type o f architecture that usually runs from $12,000 to $20,000. The size o f the house is thirty-five feet wide, exclusive o f the sun rdora, and twenty-six deep over the main part. The house is arranged with a central hall stairway leading to second story and rear, with stairway to the basement underneath and combination grade door in rear. The living room covers the entire side o f the house, with a large open fireplace in center. Livin g room and hall are connected by open, square columned pedestal openings, allowing bookcases in each pedestal from living room side. Dining room in front, with large Dutch window opening, and sun room with French doors. Dining room has built-in sideboard. Kitchen is well arranged in rear o f same. This house contains everything that is essential to make a complete home, such as clothes chute, broom closet, built-in cupboards, etc. On the second story there are four large light and roomy chambers, good sized bath, unusually large closets; also linen closet and stairway leading to good sized attic. Basement under entire building; first story, nine feet; sec ond story, eight feet. Birch or red oak finish throughout first story, pine to paint in second story.

E R H A P S the beet known among those who are attacking the problem o f high prices in this country is Mayor Samuel Lewi* Shank of Indianapolis, whose summary treatment o f the com mission merchants in that city has won him fame at home and abroad. When he learned that a combination of these dealers had dis couraged farmers from bringing their produce to town and had thus eought to keep food prices up he himself bought potatoes by the car load and sold them to the public at cost plus the freight and handling. HU experiment with potatoea waa so successful that he followed It up with sales of fruit and poultry. He broke the price o f Thanksgiving tur keys as long as his specially Imported supply lasted Thanks to the may or’« knight errantry, even tf the dragon of high priree in IndianapoiU baa not been slain, the vernacular baa been enriched by a new sUng phrase. People now say. “ Give me a bnahel of Shank».” Instead of Murphys P VAGARIES OF THE TIDE. East 33 Mysterious Currents, the Secrets of Which No One Has Solved. There are as many vagaries in the waters as in the winds. Why, for in stance, should great ocean currents send their warm waters across the wide Pacific ami Atlantic? Other and equally mysterious currents exist in well nigh ull parts o f the world. It is on record that the sea has run for weeks out o f the Java sea, through the strait of Sunda and thence back again for a like period without any perceptible rise and fall during those times. Then there is the equatorial current that flows into the Caribbean sea, the ever flowing current to the eastward around Cape Horn, the cold stream flowing from the icy regions o f the north past Newfoundland and Nova Scotia and along the American coast to the extreme end of Florida, the continual current running with a ve locity o f from four to five knots an hour through the strait of Gibraltar into the Mediterranean sea, the sw ift EAST current running across the rocks and 63 shoals off the end o f Billiton island, which apparently starts from nowhere and ends somewhere in the vicinity of the same place, and the current which, starting halfway up the China sea, runs from two to three knots an hour to the northeast and Anally ends ab ruptly off the north end o f Luzon. Then we have those tidal vagaries known the world over as bores. Those that run up the Hugh and Irawadl rivers, from side to side, till they reach their limit, often tearing the ships from their anchorage, originate nobody knows where or why.
