Roman Emperors and American
Workmen
Modern Conveniences Indicate Progress
Architecture for comfort and convenience has pro
gressed more rapidly in this nation than in any other.
The poorest American home generally has its bath tub,
electric lights, gas or electric water heater and telephone.
A great percentage of the homes have in addition, gas or
electricity for cooking; the house is wired to plug in a
vacuum cleaner in every room ; the dining room is pro
vided with fixtures to operate an electric coffee pot, waf
fle iron, toaster or other convenience for table use. In
the washroom will be the electric washing machine, the
electric and gas operated ironing machine, and probably
an electric clothes drying outfit. In the kitchen will be
the electric dishwasher and the electric refrigerator. This
latter article is just coming into more general use, and in
conjunction with the laundry equipment, will be the
greatest r:?ney and labor saver for the housewife that
has yet been devised.
The gas furnace, controlled automatically, and lit by
an electric push button, has made the old days of wood
chopping largely a thing of the past. For comfort, the
electric fan keeps a breeze going, and for beauty and
utility the modern electric lights and fixtures transform a
house of gloom into one of cheer and hominess. Elec
tricity plays an important part in milady's toilet and does
work which many hand maidens would have been unable
to accomplish in the days of the Roman emperors. The
"electric servant" does work in the American home for
a few dollars a month which could not be accomplished
in any other manner by numerous servants at a hundred
times that price.
The home with the inter-connected telephone to the
different rooms saves countless steps for its occupants.
While Egyptian tombs are being opened to dig out relics
of monarchs of past ages, it is interesting to note that they
contain no conveniences to compare with those which the
common laborer in the United States' can enjoy today.
We have read about the Roman baths and seen pic
tures of big fat Romans walking down into them, but it
is pretty safe to say that they were a chilly proposition
alongside of the American bathroom with itst instantane
ous hot water heater ready for use at any hour of the day
or night. Incidentally, the truck driver or millionaire of
today can have the same type of bathroom equipment at
a modest cost, but only a Roman emperor could enjoy the
"pleasure" of a Roman bath.
H
AVE you ever in your
Ufa seen such lovely
glassware as is to bo
found in the shops today? It's
a joy and delight to walk
around and see all the wond
erful things which one can
buy to add to the attractive
neses of the home. Whether
they are for decoration or for
practical use, the pleasure in
finding some of the gorgeous
things now shown more than
repays for the bit of addit
ional expense.
Instead of the plain white
flassware, to which we have
ecome accustomed, one can
now carry out any selected
color scheme of decoration
for the formal dinner or
luncheon with the tinted
flassware.
A few choice bits which I
have found in shopping
around are shown above. In
the center is an adorable iced
tea or lemonade set In amber
glass, with white glass
handles. The fan shaped vase
with its dainty bouquet of
wild flowers and the compote
of fruit are also in amber.
All these pieces can be had in
various other colors.
The long stemmed glasses
shown to the upper left ara
in a delicate green, with
deeper green stems and white
base. These are for punch,
or the ever popular "cup."
To the tipper right are the
deep ringed glass and goblet
now so popular as water
glasses. These come in shades
of amber, green, red, ame
thyst and blue and go far in
dressing a table.
The finger bowl and plate
in the lower left hund comer
are in iridescent glass with a
vivid colored edge. The tall
glass is in crystal delicately
etched in gold.
The salad plate and mayon
naise bowl are in cryiial with
a deep border of gold.
The goblets in the lower
right, tne smaljer of which
may be used as a sherbet cup,
are in crystal, deeply etched
in old, with colored bases.
The few pieces sketched
above are among the ones
most popularly used new, but
with a little time in which to
shop around, the woman whs
wants something different for
her luncheon table, or for the
porch tea wagon can find any
number of things which will
immediately stamp her as a
hosts si of tastes.
One can find salad plates.
Ire cream plataa, sandwich
plates in as Imitation crackled
glass, at a moderate nrice.
A few flowers, a dainty
table cloth, nice silver and
attractive glasses, tastefully
arranged, make a table over
which any woman may be
proud to preside.

Unnecessary Expenditures Cut
Road Mileage
'Work Should Be Done Right At Start
Our annual road bill is approaching the billion-dollar
mark. The cost of state highways, not to mention county
roads, runs up to astonishing totals millions and mil
lions of dollars per state.
, , With thousands of miles of road to be paved in prac
tically every state, and available funds for only some
hundreds of miles, it is essential that the officials charged
with the expenditures of the taxpayer's dollar study types
of pavement which will give the maximum wear'and at
a minimum of expense for first cost and maintenance.
The California Oil World criticizes the highway pro
gram in California, which it claims, calls for an unneces
sary expenditure of $10,000 a mile for highway repair
work where cement concrete is used for surfacing, when
more satisfactory results could be secured with asphaltic
concrete at a great saving.
It is necessary to lay a heavier course of cement con
crete over a broken or bhattered piece of road than would
be required with asphaltic concrete, because the cement
does not have the elastic qualities of the asphalt to bind
the broken and loose particles of the road base into a
shock-absorbing resilient mass-
Every dollar unnecessarily expended for new pave
ment or maintenance, means that road which could other
wise be hard-surfaced must go unpaved. 1
Department of commerce figures give the gross in
come of farmers during the year ending June 30, as $12,
136,000,000, or $848,000,000 more than for the previous
year.

THE BRAND OF MATERIALISM....
A Professional Idealist, who
sows Great Thoughts and dis
pense good cheer, through the
land at so much per word, be
moans the fact that materialism Is
driving romance out of the world.
He sees the United States being
engulfed in a great wave of ma
terialism. Materialism, he orates.
Is a foe to the achievement of the
higher realms of happiness.
Nonsense.
What Is a materialist? Tho
dictionaries display their usual
limitations with the definition that
a materialist Is one who "takes
Interest only In the 'material or
bodily necessities and comforts
of life."
Ed Howe, tho Sage of Potato
Hill, Kansas, provides a much bet
ter definition: 1
"A materialist la one who be
lieves In the known history of tho
world, proved by long oxporlcnce
and Investigation, and does not
believe In fables which have never
been proven In a single Instance.
"If you do not believe a woman
can sit in her office In New York,
and, for a fee of two-dollars, cure
a sick man in Minnesota, you are
a materialist.
. "If you believe men are born
according to a well, known law,
and live and-4le according to the
same law, you are a materialist.
3t jf, At
"If you believe there Is always
answer to chloroform wlien ap
plied to a man's nose, and doubt
that hypnotism Is an equally
practical and effective agent In
surgery, you aro a materialist.
"If you believe an Industrious
man should profit more than an
Idle one, you are a materialist.
"If you have an Important mes
sage to send, and send it by means
of the telegraph, or the telephone,
or by mall. Instead of telepathy,
' you are a materialist.
"If you believe In social order,
and security from the Idle and
vicious; if you believe In every
principle .tried out- in' hnman ex
perience, and found best for all.
you are a mat ..ilst.
"If you believe In parents di
recting children, you ara a mater
ialist. "If by a life of worthy Industry,
you accumulate a modest compe
tence for the days when you are
no looser able to work, you are a
materialist.
"If ypu believe In education, In
progress. In bettering the avorage
condition of everybody by accept
ed methods, you are a materialist.
Ja Jfc ja "
"If you provide Christmas gifts
for your children, and know that
Santa Claus did not come down
the chimney at night and leave
them, you aro a materialist.
