Radford, No. 178 West Jackson boulevard, Chicago, 111., and only enclose two-cent stamp for reply. The most noticeable thing In archi tecture and building at the present time is the popular Interest seen on all sides in regard to the planning and design of houses, especially those In suburban and country neighbor hoods. The American "home" has al ways been more than a tradition, and this home we always think of as be ing located in tho country or in the outskirts of the old home village. At the present time we are just in the midst of a revival of domestic archi tecture. especially in regard to subur ban building. The dwelling house that is at once comely and convenient seems likely to become the typical house of rural America, and even in the towns the leaven has begun to work. It Is apt to be in the country rather than the town that this worthier tyi>e of domestic architecture flourishes, The town house is apt to be cramped by the narrowness of its site, by the limitations of its outlook, by the building line and by the character of the neighboring houses. It may in Itself be an excellent piece of work, but the surroundings are not favor able to It. In tho country conditions favor the architect, not by making his task an easy one. but by investing it with in terest. On a narrow rectangular plot wedged in between existing houses and gardens on three sides and a road way on the fourth an architect may in deed exhibit skill in minimizing the inherent defect of the site, but it is not surprising that he should feel lit tle enthusiasm for such a task. As a matter of fact, he is seldom called upon to undertake it; still, the owners and builders commonly consider that there is little call for the special t-kill $ ; f'f Ji -'"--.« as ; ft ftkfc - -* .; , .v ~. .. .. .; v afraS^l! i® -s mm ft fii* " ks&gfo- *m a; .'<bi.{3 & ■V :. ■ i -i 1 agt.lr ,. „* ~ ) .....

In the country, on the other hand, rthe problems of building even small ■houses are so varied, so complex and bo interesting that architectural skill is essential if the buildings are to be anything like a success. To put up houses in a beautiful country district from plans prepared by an architect who has not made a special study of the planning and design of medium sized country houses would be some thing approaching a social crime. The mnr-r \ , .14 r if r: j LjesCJ i " Firat Floor Plan fawaaeued and increasing good sense of the building public should not allow j this to occur. The designing of a suitable home j residence for a rural location is al- | ways an interesting problem, since j each site presents difficulties and ad- | vantages of its own. The design of a house should be governed by the na ture of its site, whether on a hilltop, : on a hillside, on the oj>en tableland or ia a valley; by the views of the sur- i rounding country It is thought to ob- | tr.in from the principal rooms, by the j tie to obtain the maximum amount j of sunshine in the living rooms, or by the presence of trees that are to be retained in the garden. The material of which the house Is to be built will also Influence the design, and this will be governed In great measure by the building material that is most easily obtained in the neighborhood. He who builds in the country Is not restrained by the convention which rules in the towns as to placing the best rooms in the front of the house. If the house faces the north he will probably place the principal living rooms at the back, so they may get as much sunshine as possible. There j fSpHJ Second Floor Plan is no reason why the back elevation lof a country or suburban dwelling I should not be just as attractive as | the front elevation. The style of j building which gave rise to the jibe ■ about "Queen Ann frouts and Mary | Ann barks" is absolutely without ex- I cuse in the country, I The typical country house tends to breadth rather than height. The broad and low house seems to fit down more comfortably on its site and helps that sense of restfulness which Is so much to be desired The accompanying de sign illustrates such a residence at its best. It is broad, comfortable and In viting in appearance outwardly, and the interior arrangement is just what we would expect from the hospitable exterior From the broad porch, ex tending clear ,»c.-oss the front of the house, one cnt.'-s a large central re ception hall. T.i? entire space to the left is given over to a living room, 13 by feet in size, with an open fire place and built-in book shelves at the far end. The homelike comfort and cheer of a room of this kind, witn the entire family drawn about a crack ling fire on the hearth of a winter s night, cannot be overestimated. Opening to the right from the cen tral hall is the dining room. VVide cased openings connect both living room and dining room with the cen tral hall, giving an effect of spacious ness ynusual in a house of this size. The kitchen Is well placed for con venient housekeeping. On the second fioor four good-sized bedrooms are pro vided, besides a bathroom and linen room and an abundance of clothes closets. ThiJ is a gambrel-roof house, slight ly colonial in design. It presents a dignified and attractive appearance and at the same time is economical to build. The estimated cost of this house is $:!500 Ape Attacks Woman. There was an excitlns scene recent ly on busy Oxford street, London, Kng land. A fashionably dressed woman j ascended the steps of an omnibus, ac ; oompanied by a large ajie, which was ! dressed in a blue coat and trousers. | They occupied an outside seat, the ape : sitting on the woman's knee. Suddenly the ape attacked another j woman passenger and bit her on the arm. Her cries brought the conductor, | who dragged the ape away, and the animal and the woman owner disap j peared in the crowd. The woman who ! was attacked by the animal was not seriously hurt, as her long gloves pro- I tected her. U.S.FORCE LANDS IN NICARAGUA | Ciuejacketsand Marines Sent to Managua to Protect Americans.

Washington.—Bluejackets are now j protecting American lives and proper- I | ty at Managua and in the vicinity, as a result of an agreement between the j I Nicaraguan Foreign Office and George | ; T.

Some of the vessels on ! the great lakes were used for bom- ; barding the unfortified town of San ; Jorgo. Minister Weitzel sought protection ■ for American property at the Nieara- : ; guan Foreign Office, but. was informed | that all the government forces were j i needed to put down the armed disor ' ders and that it would be impossible < to comply with his request for the present. It was suggested, however, that it would br impossible to comply with his request for the present, it was I suggested, however, that the United States use its own forces to protect ! American citizens, and as a result 100 ! bluejackets and marines were landed at Corinto from the gunboat Annapolis ! and sent to Managua. As a consequence of the landing of the small American force quiet has been restored in the capital city, ac cording to Minister Weitzel. He adds i that the move is all that prevented complete anarchy and the spread of disorder throughout the republic. Other reports from Nicaragua are that the centres of uprising appear to be Leon and Chinandega A large number of political prisoners were li berated at Leon, and it is expected that the Nicaragua!! government will declare a state of siege. The govern ment troops were defeated at Tipitapa. but President Diaz still is convinced o! his ability to handle the sitr.a ion PRINTED MATTER RATES STAND.

PROGRESSIVE PARTY HOLDS CONVENTION Gathering in Chicago Listens With Enthusiasm to Keynote Speeches A. J. BEVERIDGE PRESIDES j Cheers at Chicago as Fcrrr.er Prcei 'ent Arrives —Revision of Anti- Trust Law, an American Busi ness Tariff In Platform. I Chicago.—Two thousand men and 1 women, faces alight with enthusiasm, | saw a political party come into being | here amid the roar of whole-souled I cheering and the triumphant blare of | bands. | The floor of the vast Coliseum was a I swaying mass of color as the throng | of delegates again and again sprang i to its feet under the stimulus of some i new inspiring song or the mention of I a name that has stood high in the | ranks of the National Progresses party. 1 The triumphant entry of Col. rheo dore Roosevelt into Chicago, when 20,- 000 persons cheered him from the La Salle street station to the Congress : Hotel, had kindled a great iiame of en- I tliusiasm. It grew every moment up to the opening of the convention. The convention was called to order at 12.43 by Senator Dixon. The Coli seum floor was crowded and the gal leries were well filled. Many of the ! delegations came in singing. ihe Pennsylvanians had a parody on "John Brown's Body," in which the> announced they would take consider able delight in suspending Senator i Boies Penrose to a sour apple tree. The Jersey men sang a ditty to the tune of ihe "Battle Hymn of the Re | public," announcing that the "Bull i Moose is Coming," and that the G. O. 1' elephant and Democratic donkey were scared out of their hoots. The j bandanna kerchief was in evidence ! everywhere. Senator Dixon declared that lae convention was a new milestone in American politics and that a new i party, knowing no North and no South i and founded on the live issues of to | dav, will take its place with those parties which live on the dead issues !of the past. As Dixon finished the call of a delegate for,"Three cheers for Teddy," brought the convention to 1 its feet, cheering for a full minute. The vast audience thrilled under ' Dixon's words. And frequently it , thundered forth its approval ot' the words and the man. Then O. K. Davis read the call of the new party. Then ex-Senator Albert J. Beveridgo of Indiana, took the gavel as tenii o rary chairman of the convention. He launched into a dcci: ration (it the new I party's principles, ilie faith cf the 1 10- . gressives, and tlieir hopes for the l'u ' lure that was punctuated with great bursts of applause from iln- audience. In his address Chairman Beveridge said ill reference tc the new party; "To carry out our principles we I have a program of constructive re form. We mean prestni. We mean !to make laws lit conditions out of date, and where we tear down we I mean to build what is right and fitted to the times. We hearken to the call of the present. We mean to make laws ' fit conditions as they are and meet the needs of the people who are on earth today. That we may do this we found a party through which all who believe with us can work with us, or, rather, we declare our allegiance to the party which the people themselves have founded. For this party conies from the grass roots. It has grown from the soil of the people's hard necessi ties. It has the vitality of the peo ples strong convictions. The people have work to be done and our party is here to do that work." The speaker discussed the Republi can and Democratic parties, the "boss system," and "special interests." Ho declared the Progressive party will accomplish reforms vital to American business. He said: "We mean to put new business laws ' on our statute books -which will tell I American business men what they can 1 do and what they cannot do. The next i great business reform we must have to steadily increase American prosper j ity is to change the method of build | ing our tariffs. The tariff must be 1 laken out of politics and treated as a business question instead of a political question. The greatest need ol busi ness is certainty, but the only thing certain about our tariff is uncertainty. Next to our need to make the Slur man law modern, understandable, and just, our greatest fiscal need is a genu ine, permanent, non-partisan tariff commission. There has not been and will not be any sincere and honest ef fort by the old parties to get a tariff commission, nor to take the tariff out ! of politics. "A tariff high enough to give Amer ican producers the American market when they make honest goods and sell i them at honest prices, but low enough I that when they sell dishonest goods ' at dishonest prices, foreign competi i tion can correct both evils; a tarift j high enough to enable American pro dueers to pay our workingmen Amer- I ican wages and so arranged that the 1 workingmen will get such wage, a business tariff where changes will be so made as to reassure business in stead of disturbing it —this is the tar iff and the method of its making in which the Progressive party believes."
