for the follohwing day's work.
The sun was just beginning to rise
when they were waked and, after
drinking steaming coffee and eating
cake, they sauntered up to the aero
drome.
Their machines were all lined up on
the "tarmac" and the mechanics were
giving them a final overhaul.
The police gathered round the flight
commander. who was as yet in negli
gee, cpnsisting of an old college blazer
and carpet slippers of a brilliant hue.
"W'e will cross the lines somewhere
about here," he said, indieating a spot
on the map in front of hint, with the
stump of a pipe. "and we have the
pleasant little job of patrolling this
area. It is infetsted with 'Archles.' and
there are always lHun machines knock
ing about as well. Take your time
from me anld watch for the usual sig
nals. Rememlber, it is the lust man
who gets the- rotten timte cf it."
The party broke up and the flight
commander hurried off to put on more
suitable attire.
Five ninttes laiter they reassembled.
in their respective uachlines, well
wrappedl in tmufiters and leather coats, .
for it is cold work at fiftee-n thousand
feet. They clambered onto their nma
chines and for the next few minutes,
as they waited, had a heated argument
about the respective merits of 'razzle
dazzle' and 'hric-a-brac' until the l
squadron commander arrived on thei
scene. when they turned their atten
tion to more serious things. c
The Archies Speak.
At a signal the engines were started
and tested. Then the machines "tax

made their way out into the middle dt

"That was a good shot," he said to tor
himself as he turned and counted the bl
patrol. There were only four alto- hb

engine troulte. They kept close to- pr
gether. and for about half an hour all ca
went peacefully and well. Their en- he
gines were running perfectly, and the lih
morning air acted like a balm on their wi
souls. The occasional sounds of firing ch
did not disturb them. Then in the dls- sa
tance they saw a great cloud of ma- li
chines approaching from the east. and ml
each man looked to the leader for a be
signal. This was no ordinary enemy
patrol. One or two served to relieve
the monotony of life, but fifty was
more than a joke. But the leader held Ii

Embezzlement
Embezzlement is a fraudulent ap
propriation of another's property by
a person to whom it has been In
trusted or into whose hands it has
lawfully come. Embezzlement difI
fers from larceny in that the original
possession of the property was law
ful or with the consent of the own- se
er, while in larceny the criminal in- am
tent must have existed at the time of se
the taking. Embezzlement Impllels th
honest beginning with criminal after- sq
thought. '

of its length. In this poition the
building has a very pleasing appear
ance on either of the streets. It Is
rectangular In plan, being broken from
the regular shape only by the two
small buys In the front wall. The ga

slope, with the cornice directly above
the first fleoor window heads. There is
second floor space available, however,

ter of the building where a 14-foot

The foundation walls of the house
are of concrete up to grade and of
e face brick to the sills. A belt of wide
a rough clapboards girts the structure
between the brick and the window
sills. Above this line. the walls are
e Snished with standard narrow bevel
siding up to the plate. The gables and
the dormer walls are finished with
stained shingles. The rough clap
boards may be painted In some har

and the trim is best finished in pure
white, since contrast is needed with
S the prevailing dark tones of the walls.
Ornamentation of the roof consists
in the use of a simple open rafter cor

cial ornamentation feature is the small
balcony at one end of the second floor,
above the front porch. This balcony
is supported by three cantilever beams

second floor Joists. The rail used is of
an especially pleasing design. The
second floor overhangs the porch at
this end of the building, three solid
square columns being used to carry the
weight down to the foundation. The
porch ceiling is very carefully insu
lated and sealed tightly so that the
sleeping porch above will be protect
ed.
Even more interesting than the exte
rior design is the interior arrange
ment. The entrance into the house
is by way of a vestibule which opens
into the living room. Three rooms are
here grouped together in a most pleas
ing manner. Centrally located in the
group is the large living room with its
three-window bay. Toward the front
of the house through a large cased
opening is the coziest little den which
anyone might ask for. Bookcases are
paeed on either side of the room i-st

fe rom the r.ear porch. Across the wall
t. opposite the entrance there Is a shelf
fr'.m the chimney to the side walL
This shelf is high enough so that the
refrigerator sets under It. The most
e interesting detail of this arrangement
e is the location of the serving pantry.
This pantry connects the kitchen with
the dining room. There is a cased
opening from It into the kitchen and
a swinging dcbr into the dining room.
A cupboard occuples the wall toward
the rear of the building. A slide is
provided which extends out under the
window in the hall between the pan
try and the breakfast porch.
The first floor bedrooms are ar
ranged according to the best modern
practice, which places them side by
side with a connecting hall. Each 1
bedroom closet is fitted with a shelf
and a rail all around for clothes hooks.
Most contractors and builders will sug
ge.:t that an iron pipe or wood rod be
placed horizontally across the closet
just under the shelf, so that clothes
placed on hangers may be hung there,
greatly increasing the capacity of the
closet and keeping the clothes in
much better condition than if they
were hung against the wall.
The second floor is reached from the
living root,., the stair door being di- t
rectly in front of the vestibule. The r
stairs lead to the sewing room on the
second floor which connects with an z
open hall leading to the bedrooms and t
toilet. There is a linen closet In this t
hall handy to the two bedrooms. These
bedrooms are provided with closets
and in the larger one there is also a
shelf just behind the door as it swings
open. The statement has been made
that there is practically no outside
exposure on the walls of the second
floor rooms. This is clearly indicated
on the plan, which shows that there is
plenty of storage space provided un- a
der the roof along both sides of the
building. These spaces are reached F
from the sewing room and from the
sleeping porch. t]
First Said of Goldsmith. I
"He touched no subject that he did
not adorn" was first said in a Latin a
epitaph on Oliver Goldsmith. "Nil
tetigit quod non ornavit." The Eng
lish version of it was used in an epi
taph on Matthew Hale Carpenter of f
Wisconsin by Jeremiah S. Black of t
Pennsylvania. Carpenter died in 1881 y
and Black, who was attorney general a
of the United States from 1857 to 1801, i
died in 1883. His epitaph on Carpen- hi
ter began as follows: "The most ac
complished orator of his day and gen- ni
eration, he addressed no audience that ,
he did not charm, and touched no sub- S
ject that he did not adorn." The Latin
epitaph on Goldsmith was written by bl
Dr. Samuel Johnson. to
When Amethysts Turn White. th
A man recently brought back to a tiU
jewelry store three rings set with in
amethysts which had faded to a pale
yellow within a few months after he
had bought them. He then discovered
that Instead of amethysts the gems ,
were topazes. The latter vary in color th
from pale yellow to deep violet and FI
purple. Under high temperatures p1
amethysts change color, becoming first ti(
yellow, then green and finally entirely an
colorless. Under ordinary tempera. or
ture, however, genuine amethysts de a
no change color.
