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.

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. Cost to build, exclusive o f heating and plumbing, $4,000
Upon receipt of $1 the publisher o f this paper will supply a copy o f Saxton's
book o f plans entitled "American Dwellings.’’ The book contains 240 new and
up to date designs o f cottages, bungalows and residences costing from $1,000

MAYOR SHANK AND HIS “COST OF LIVING" CAMPAIGN.
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

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.
A t Singapore it has been observed
for days at a time that there has been

four hours.—Boston Globe.
