This poor'man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved

"HORSE SENSE" RULES
.; A life Insurance company has offered seven "horse sense"
rules' for keeping fit. The rules are hot given as cure alls
but a plan for cooperating with natui'e in her ceaseless efforts
in prolonging life and preserving health. 1 11
i'Th'e seyen "horse sense" rules are: '"Learn to play; don't
eat too much;-take proper exercise; don't work too hard,
either mentally or physically; don't worry, fuss or lose your
temper . the best tonic in the world is optimism and cheer
fulness; seek some healthful amusement that diverts the
mind and exercises the muscle ; once a year have your family
doctor examine you for health, not for disease." "'' ''
" Ordinarily seven rules of conduct would not be so diffi
cult'' iri. observance but here are given seven rules which
regulate every act of every day of our lives.' By the exertion
of a little will power we would probably not find them much
worse than' a stein' taskmaster in spite of the broad field they
cover. '
, How many men and women past 40 know how to play?
Are there any in' this community Who never overeat? " Regu
jar exercise is observed by only a small minority. Most people
work too much or not enough; The most optimistic among us
worry too much and lose bur tempers too often for the good
of our health.' More people are, to be sure, participating
in the many diversions, fads and amusements offered them
by modem, civilization and yet too many do not. And as
for the seventh 'ule, where are there men and women who
think' of the d(ot when thenars well?"- 'A'
i vTHE PRICE Oil" LIBERTY
The impending' presidential' campaign will demonstrate
that a couple of hundred men have been given the greatest
political power ever wielded by a small group -in the his
. tory' of the' country. .' '
This handful of -men, with a total investment scarcely as
great as that of five large metropolitan newspapers,1 will be
able to give its favored candidates' access to the homes and
the ears of half the ; population, 1 '
: This little group of men, controlling the gate to the ears
of half the nation, can tic the strings of its favor to so many
candidates, high and low, that it will be able to influence
the' actions of presidents, cabinet members and governors,
to control law-making bodies and through this control
strengthen its pblitical dominance and its economic position!
Three hundred broadcasting stations, representing an in
vestment of less than half a dozen of the country's leading
newspapers, owned by a few score corporations and in
dividuals, are able to swing national elections, to determine
the trend of our foreign policy, to decide tho issue of peace
or war. '" .
Already two corporations, tracing their ownership back
to common sources, dominate two-thirds of the three hun
dred stations. They have the money and tho' willingness to
buy the rest. They will buy them, they will make of broad
casting the most powerful political instrument ever devised,
a private monopoly foi' their own private use and benefit
unless 'congress is encouraged and supported in its efforts
to forestall a' monopoly in nny phase of radio.
Eternal watchfulness is still the price of liberty.

This house is one of unusual In
dividuality. , It solves a problem that
oiien arises as to wnat- to build on
acute corner lot that . is livable
and yet attractive. , -
The plan is shown at its maximum
development. The sun porch may be
built at some later date and the gar
age could be left off also if desired.
As shown we- onter through the
sun porch or solarium. At the left
is the lavatory and cellar stair. Down
the hall to tho right we come upon
tho entrances to the living room and
dining room. A lnrge doorway may-be
introduced between living room and
dining room if so desired and in this
way make it possible to throw both
rooms Into one large area. .
10 tne rear is the kitcnen and en
try. This entry opens upon the court
and gives direct access to the garage.
There is a driveway under the porch.
un tne second noor are tnree good
slued bedrooms with ample light end
ventilation. A bath' Is ' between the
rear two rooms and a large closet and
bath are adjacent to the master bed
room. On the exterior are several mate
rials: Vertical clapboard, brick, stuc
co and half-timber. The roof is of
elate, tile on wood shingles. The chim
ney Is of bricks the same color as the
brick In the walls, surmounted by red
chimney pots. Wood, lintels and all
exterior woodwork is in natural fin
ish weathered cypress. The windows
are of the casement type and could
be metal. , - v : . ; ,
Orientation Is a question of the
position of the lot. The house can
find universal application. Several
r.tyles of exterior architecture may ,bb
employed. The style shown is accep
table In northeastern states.
Estimates have Indicated as cost
for this house between $9,000 and
$10,000, depending upon local costs
for labor and material, metropolitan,
suburban or urban.

HVAM WINNER
OF OREGON'S
SKI CONTEST
PORTLAND, Jan. 25 mi To NJal-
mar Hvam, tall, slender Northlander,
goes the ski championship of Oregon.
Hvam thrilled 10.000 persons - at
Government camp Sunday when he
flashed down Multorpor hill, left the
Jumpoff like a rocket and soared I8p
feet through the air for a perfect
landing. Ski experts said the hill
was constructed to allow a maximum
Jump of 190 feet,
The mavch nearly concluded in
tragedy when John Elvrum, Hvam's
keenest . rival, tried to outdo him.
Grimly determined he was as he
took his place. Like a plane in a
power dive he swept down the run
way, reached , the apron, goomed up
ward and plunged again.
Rapidly estimating his speed, of
ficial markers said he would defeat
Hvam. , . ,
But In his eagerness Elvrum had
disregarded safety. The snow where
he landed was too soft and too flat.
Traveling at a speed of 84 miles an
hour he landed and splnned head
over heels. Only by great fortune,
those who know, said, he was spared
serious injury or death. . He was
badly shaken.

PER WEEK
1 he more you know about washers, the more you will
wonder how anyone coultl make a low priced washer of
such unquestionably high quality, ' ' '"" "-'!,
Here's the answer.
In the Maytag factory, tho world's largest washer
factory, precision workmanship and rigid inspections aro
routine. Workmen are trained to think high quality.
They don't use anything but highest grade materials
and precision machinery. ' -
Naturally a washer made in such a' factory is going to
be n fine washer. Not only when it is new, but after
years of hard service. Because the quality is built in.
Every hidden part is as carefully blade as tools can
make it. '
So don't let the low price of this New May tag confuse you
as to its quality. ' If 'you are one of the millions of
women who have put off buying a washer till you could
afford a Maytag, noic is the time.
