House, May Be, Shrine,
I Elizabeth, N. J. One of the oldest
homesteads In New Jersey Is the
stanch Hetfleld house, built on ' the
banks of the Elizabeth river at the
jfoot of Pearl street here before Co
lonial times. Sold recently by a de
scendant of Its second owner with the
provision that the house, rich In leg
end and the homeof nine generations,
be preserved, It has been offered as
a Colonial shrine or headquarters to
the historical and patriotic societies

of this city by Mason Eirkland, the
present owner.
Miss Emily Hetfleld, of the ninth
generation of the Revolutionary fam
ily, will contribute to the shrine from
her store of Colonial furniture, pic
tures, legal documents and other rel
Ics. A wealth of historic material re
mained In the house from the days
before the Revolution until 20 years
ago, when Miss Hetfleld and her moth
er moved to a more modern home.
Built by Skipper.
The house was built In 1066-7 by
Abraham Lubberson, skipper of a Hud
son river fleet and a resident of New
Amsterdam. After a few years he
sold the property to Matthias Hatfield,
who had come to Elizabeth from New
Haven, Conn., although originally the
family lived In Hatfield, England,
whence was derived the name.
The change of the second letter in
the name from "a" to "e" occurred
during the early days of the Revolu
tion. . Many houses were divided
against themselves in those times and
the Hatfleids were not an exception.
Several members of the family chose
to remain loyal to the Crown and left
the homestead to Join the British col
ony on Staten Island. The others,
conceived the Idea of changing the
spelling of the name to sever kinship
with the royalists. The revised ver
sion has been retained by all succeed
ing generations.
Tradition tells of exciting doings
at the house in the days when the
Republic was in the making. Many
of these are confirmed by the papers
and parchments that Miss Hetfleld re
tains. One chapter In the historical lore
transmitted tells of the secret tunnel.
This chapter Is sufficiently clear to
enable Miss Hetfleld to eay that the
tunnel once existed, although Its lo
cation is unknown. Whether It has
been entirely filled np, or whether
only Its entrances have been sealed
by time or by Intent Is not known.
The legend says that it led from the
house to the water's edge in the river.
Among the objects In the house
were glass platters from which five
been served ; a Hessian cannon ball,
"generations" of wedding cake have
five Inches In diameter, but of great
weight; sconces, elaborate tn gilt
about the huge, round mirrors; a tom

Better Grade Diamonds

Joel, member of the diamond syndi

"Stones of three carats and upwards

Increase will be 5 per cent," he said.
"This Increase has resulted from the
big demand for good stones. There

from the alluvial workings, but for

Definite Pattern for
Cities Seen as Vital
The growing practice of fiftlnor
American cities to a definite pattern
rather than allowing them to grow as
they will Is disclosed ln report of
the civic development department of
the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States on city olannine and
zoning accomplishments.
This practice, which originated
twenty or more years ago, has stead
ily grown until at the present time
more than 600 American cities have
adopted some form of city planning.
City plaunlng ," the report explains.
"Is the proper co-ordination of civic
development, to the end that a city
may grow in a more orderly way and
provide adequate facilities for living.
working and recreation.
"To serve the community best a
comprehensive city plan must co-or
dinate all physical Improvements,
even at the possible expense of sub
ordinating Individual desires. City
planning applies the fundamental
principles of business corporations to
civic development. It means the bud
geting of future Improvements to ob
tain an orderly and uniform growth
for the entire community and prevent
overexpansion of one phase of de
velopment at the expense of others."
Health Department Is
County's Great Need
Are you living in a county without
an organized health department? asks
Dr. R. G. Beachley In nygela, the
health magazine published by the
American Medical association.
If you do, you are not receiving
proper health protection from your
local government State departments
of health cannot carry on Intensive
health work In every county In a state.
Therefore the only way to maintain
proper health standards Is to have an
efficient health department in every
county.
No Investment can yield greatet
dividends than money for public
health, Doctor Beachley continues. A
whole-time health department will re
duce the amount of sickness from such
diseases as typhoid fever, diphtheria,
smallpox and scarlet fever by almost
75 per cent during the first five yean
of its existence, he declares..
The typical health department con

used to nay tn mo when. In
sending me to bed alone to the awful
dark rooms above, she saw that my
heart beat a little faster and that fear
of something unexpected and unknown
gripped me. "There's nothing up there
to hurt you." And I went not realiz
ing that in going and facing the dan
ger that I feared, I was not a coward,
but that 1 had courage, for courage
consists in facing danger or supposed
danger that you fear. Aristotle, one
of the wisest men in the world, has
said so.
"Courage," he tells us, "Is not fear
lessness, but the recognition of danger
and the power of self-control In spite
of fear."
The man who faces danger without
fear Is not courageous ; he Is fool
hardy; his Judgment Is faulty.
After the marines had made their
courageous attack at Belleao woods I
had a long letter from Martin telling
me all about It though I had before
seen an account In the newspapers of
what happened.
"If anyone who was in the awful
carnage tells you that he had no fear,"
Martin wrote, "don't believe bim, for
he Is either not human or a liar.
Every man knew when be went Into
the attack that be faced death, or. If
not death, a torn, mangled body to
be carried through a life, that might
be worse than death. As far myself,
I was white and trembling for a time,
and then my heart began beating like
a triphammer, but terrified as we
were, we went on, and you know the
result."

Western Architecture
The western, or prairie, type of
architecture derives its chief char

on which It originated ; the horizontal
elements In the design being heavily
accented, as against the more usual
practice of emphasizing vertical lines,
such as Is done In French and Eng

The western type of home usually
Is built In square, box-like shape, the
roof low-pitched and with a widely
spreading overhang.
Detail work Is heavy, and the win

home in their own shape. They are
