PLANNERS OF HOME CAN
PROFIT BY REMODELING.—
Many young people today who
cannot afford to build new
homes could enjoy the pleasures
and comforts of homes of thelr
own If they could be made to
realize that remodeling offers
unlimited possibilities, says &
writer In Your Home Magazine.
One may purchase some Inter-
esting old house in reasonably
good repair, which in size, style,
situation and locality corre-
sponds te one's requirements
for a home. If the house is
structurally sound, and needs no
additions, involving
excavations, roof-enlargements,
ete, It is certain that much
money will be saved, as against
puilding from the ground up.
And no matter what materials
an old house has been built
from, time has softened and
given a “homey” look to it,
which adds a charm that no
phase of modern building can
supply. An old house has also
had time to grow into its setting.
The trees it is surrounded by
are fully grown, and any garden
it possesses Is an integral part
of the scheme,
extensive
How Lining of Chimney
Protects Against Fire
Good fue lining has been called one |
of the leust expensive forms of fire |
large proportion |
Insurance; since a
of home fires have been found to have
started through leaks In chimneys
where the lining was faulty or where
gone was installed.
ire clay is one of the best mate |
sins for flue lining since it is espe
cially mined and nmnufacture d to re-
sist high temperatures,
Joints of the lining should be care-
fully made to prevent the possibility
of erosion of the mortar, which leaves |
the musonry unprotected against hot
gases and Hames,
Round flue linings have been founa
to be the most eflicient, since the
effective purt of a chimney has been
estahiished ns the size of the largest
circle that ean be described therein.
Ascer ding smoke and gases go up-
wird in an spiral, whirling motion, so
that the corners of square linings form
dend areas, which, in fact, may hinder
the operation of the chimney by per- |
mitting downward eddies and currents
to be set up.
Why Race Is “Preakness”
The name Preakness, as applied to
the $30,000 stake run at the Pimlico
spring meeting, is so called after the
horse that won the first Dinner Party
stake, afterward known as the Dixie
stake, at Phinlico In 1870, the most fa-
mous racing event of the time. The
farm of H. M. Sanford, owner of the
winner, in New Jersey, was called
Preakness and the horse was named
after his home. The Preakness stake
was first run at Plmlico, Md, In 1873
and was won by John I. Chamberlin’s
Survivor.
Why “Pyrrhic Victory”
The phrase, a “Uyrrhic Victory” 18
used to denote a victory won at tre
mendous cost and refers to the battle
of Asculum, in which Pyrrhas, king
of Epirus. won a victory over the ito-
mans while sustaining such heavy
losses that he is suid to have ex-
claimed, “Another such victory and
Pyerhus is destroyed I”
Why “Canary” Islands
“Canary” is derived from Latin
“canis,” meaning “dog.” and according
te the elder Pliny these islands were
called Canaria “from the multitude of
dogs of great size” found there by
King Juba of Mauretania when he vis
ited the Islunds about 40 B. C.
Why Red Paint Was Popular
Red paint was a favorite medium of
prehistoric artists who painted ani
mals and men on cavern walls, proba-
bly because red was identitied with
life blood and therefore had a signifi-
cance in magical rites,

(Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union.)
Loyalty is the foundation upon
which the whole structure of civiliza-
tion rests. Loyalty to one's country, |
loyalty to one's state, loyalty to one's |
city, loyalty to one's business asso-
clates, loyalty to one's friends! Loy-
alty 1s essential to the ordinary prog-
ress of the world. Without it the world
There would be no stable govern
nent In the world were It not for the
loyalty of the people to thelr gov-
ernment. There would be no success-
ful business enterprise on the face of
the globe were it not for the loyalty
of the men and women who are c¢on-
nected with it. No church could ex-
ist for a month were it not for the
loyalty of its members. The sacred-
were it not for the loyalty of the
members of the family group.
The loyalty of a people to Its gow
ernment is based partly upon sentl-
ment and partly upon the recognition
of an obligation that a people owes
to Its government. A people that has
the benefit of good government owes a
duty to that government. Those who
do not recognize this duty and per-
form It voluntarily are comp by
law to do so. The man or wo! who
is protected by the government In the
pursuit of life and happiness, must con-
tribute in money and service toward
the support of the government. The
man or woman who, under the protec-
tion of his government which pre-
serves law and order, is able to ac-
cumulate property, must pay taxes on
i that property to help maintain the gov- |
| ernment which has protected him or

Loyalty Moral Obligation.
In governmental affairs these things
are regulated by law, and the man
who receives the benefit of orderly
| government is required to fulfill the ob-
| ligation which that entalls, but in the
If you
ordinary affairs of life, loyalty is a
moral rather than a legal obligation.
There are laws which prevent a man
from stealing from his employer or
his business associates, bat there Is
no law that requires him to be loyal
to them. The success of a business
institution, however, depends more
upon the loyalty of its employees than
upon the laws which prevent them
from stealing its money. Likewise the
stability of a government depends
more upon the loyalty of Its people
than upon the laws which compel them
to fulfill their obligation to the gov-
ernment.
It is equally true that the prosperity
and growth of every {individual com-
munity is dependent upon the loyalty
of the people who live In It. Every
citizen owes an obligation to his com-
munity, and the obligation is a moral
as well as a legal one. The good citl-
zen pays his taxes cheerfully and
willingly. He serves upon the juri-a
which administer the laws of the ¢ .o-
munity. He fulfills every legal obil-
gation that is Imposed upon him by
his government, but there Is a r.oral
obligation which is of still greater im-
portance to the community. This
moral obligation consists in doing
everything that Is in his power to
promote the prosperity and happiness
of his community. The man who i=
enabled to make his living In any com-
munity is under a moral obligation to
gpend his money in such a way as to
help his comununity.
Prosperity Worth Protecting.
Anything worth having is worth pro-
tecting, and If the prosperity of a
community is worth anything to the
people living in it it is worth protect-
ing. If the chance for a man to earn
a good living, to live well, to give his
children a good education, is worth
anything, It Is worth protecting.
There is just one way to protect
the prosperity of a community, and
that 1s to keep the community from
being drained of Its cash—working
capital. The only way to do that Is
for the people of the community to
keep thelr money at home. Every
time the citizen of a community sends
money away from home to a mall or-
der house Instead .f spending it in
his home Stores iw’ 18° disloyal to his’
community. It is dicloyalty to the mer- |
chants only indirectly. It is disloyalty
to the community of which the mer- |
chants are only a small but a very
important part.
This is the moral obligation that
every citizen owes to his community,
just as the payment of taxes' and the |
loyal support of his government are
his legal obligations. Disloyalty of
a large body of the citizens spells dis-
aster to any government and disloy- |
alty of any large part of the people
to thelr community Is followed inev-
itably by the downfall of the commu-
nity. Self-interest, If nothing else,
should convince every citizen of the
advisability of fulfilling his moral ob-
ligation to his community,
