Washington.?Since the conclusion
of the Spa conference, at which Germany
agreed to Increase Its coal output
In order to bring the deliveries to
France up to approximately 2.000.000
tons per month, there hns been renewed
agitation among the miners for
the nationalisation of the mining Industry
In the hope thnt better working
conditions and pay may be obtained
under such n condition than
with the mines owned and opernted by
Hugo Stlnnes and his few associate
coal barons. Other sections of German
industrial life are nlso likely to
be ultimately run by tbe state, although
It will probably he necessary
for the German people to elect a more
radical reichstag to eflTect these
changes, as the present cabinet Is not
pledged to any great extension of the
principle of public ownership and operation.

-T In tbe meantime, however, as the re-,

tjootrtrt and operation of the leadlag
industries, the national economic
* bureau of the'German treasury de- '
partrotat has quite a few important
government controlled industrial
plants to look after, according to a
summary of its activities recently published
in the German press and quoted
from in commerce reports. The most

Vienna.?Chief blame for the collapse
of the Austrian forces on the ,
Piave river, In the Austro-Itatlan cam- ,
palgn, Is plriced on the former Emperor
Carl by the report of a commission
appointed to Investigate war delinquencies.
(
On the fateful November 2, 1918. the
report says, the then emperor Issued
three conflicting orders within a few
hours. The first yras for the conclusion
of an armistice. Forty-five minutes
Infer this was revoked and 95
minutes afterward it was issued again.
During this period, It.was suid, the
emperor consulted no one on the mat- 1
ter.
"We must ask," the report, says, '
"whether the emperor and his advisers '
were not guided by the feur of the '
army flooding back on Vienna rather
than by any other circumstances. It J
niuy be. perhaps, not by express Intention
but rather subconsciously, that '
the desire prevailed with more than 1

I. A Father's Wise Counsel (vv.l?Jl).
1. What It Is (v. 20). "Be not
unong winebibbers; among riotous
?aters of flesh." This means persons
ivho meet together for the express purpose
of drinking Intoxicating liquors
ind eating purely for the gratification
if thefr appetites. Wine bibbing und
gluttony usually go together.
2. Reason given (v. 21). "The
lrunkard nnd the glutton- shall come
'O' poverty." Intemperance in drinking
and eating leads to ruin. Poverty
inevitably follows In their wake.
II. Woes of Those Whvl Indulge in
Wine <vv. 29. 30). ?
The miseries attached tu the drunkard's
life:
1. The awful pain which causes one
to cry out "Oh!" Many, Indeed, ore
t!y pains which men sulTer because of
strong drink. '
2. Socrow?the remorse which
causes one to cry out "Atas!" Many
ire the expression# of bitter regret
which dally come from the lips of the
drunkard. Sometimes It Is the sorrow
of poverty of himself and family
?clothed In rags and half starved;
sometimes It Is the sorrow of following
a broken-hearted wife to the
grave and seeing his children scattered
among strangers.
3. Contention?strife and quarreling.
Much of the fighting among men is
directly caused bv their nnsslons be
Ing inflamed by strong drink. The ;
drunken man is always i*ndy to take i
offense, as well as to give it.
4. Babblings and complainings. The
wlnebibber complains of everything;
111 lack, broken fortune, mined health,
los.3 of friends, of fate arid of God.
5. Wounds without a cause. These
are wounds which might have been
avoided?from fighting^ In which a
sober man would not have engaged,
and from accidents which are purely
the result of intoxication.
6. Redness of eyes. This has reference
to the bloodshot eye of the tip*
pier which renders dim hfe vision.
All these woes cotneup<i|^hfe who
tarry long at wlra^^jMl^^^Bewtto
fevquent the
are tarrying long u #pe. *
III. Jhe Attitude Enjoined (v. 31).
Look not at It. I)o not put yourself
In the wuy of temptation. The only
safe attitude toward strong drink is
total abstinence, and the only sure
way of total abstinence is not to even
look at it.
IV. The Drunkard's Bitter End (w.
B2-33).
1. The acute miseries resulting (w.
32).' "It hlteth like n serpent, and
stlngeth like an adder." Strong drink,
like the poison of the serpent, permeates
the whole system nnd ends in
the most fatal consequences?the bitterest
sufferings and death.
2. The perversion of the moral Rense
(v. 33). (1) This excitement onuses
the eyes to behold strange things. This
denotes the fantastic Images produced
Dn the hrnlu of the drunkard. Since
unbridled lust always goes with wine
drinking, no doubt It Is true as the
Authorized Version has It, "Thine
eyes shall behold strange women."
Drunken men do desire and rave after
unchaste women. (2) "Thine heart
shall utter perverse things. Ills moral
sense being perverted, his utterances
partake of the same. lie tells lies?
tils words cannot be rtJled upon. Anyone
who hns had dealings with a
drunkard knows that his statements
rannot be rellcl upon.
3. He Is Insensible to danger (v. 34).
The drunkard Is unsteady; his hraln
reels to and fro. He Is foolhnrdy,
even as one who would lie In the top
of a ship's mast where there Is the
greatest danger of filing off.
4. He Is insensible to pnln (v. 35).
The drunkard Is utterly Ignorant of
what happens to him while under the
Influence of strong drink. Many
bruises and wounds the drunkard hns
which ho cannot account for.
!5. TTIo flhlpcl hnndnirp (v 9IU <#??>
nil his suffering, sorrow, and dlsap- I
r>o!ntments. he goes on as a bond slave
to follow the ways of sin.
6. Hell nt last, for no drunkard
nhall Inherit the kingdom of heaven
(I Cor. 0:10).
Christianity.
We talk about pure mathematics
nnd applied mathematics, and. the distinction
of genius. Rut It Is absurd
to' talk, or think, about pure Christianity
and applied Christianity. Unless
^Christianity Is applied, It Isn't

does not connect up with fellowship,

Our Lord Jesus Christ Is our Savior
only so far as we become his slaves,
busy about his duty. We minister
unto him by our practical philanthropy
(service to mankind), for "Inasmuch
as ye did It to the least of
these my brethren, ye did It unto me."

Loving God and Brother.
As St. John reasons about love, that
If a man love not his brotjher whom
He has wen, he ennnot love God whoi?
He has no* reen: so may we also ren

loea^not learn to obey Ita earthly par

The least number of rooms that will l
comfortably accommodate the family; |
convenient arrangement of these '
rooms, and au attractive exterior appearance
are the three prime requl- i
sites for the modem home. Because 1
they are nil found In the bungalow
type of home, they are extremely popular
with present-doy home builders, i
Bungalows originated in California, i
or at least the name did. In the mid- <
die and eastern states bungalows were i
built for many years before the name i
was known?they were called cottages. 1
But bungalows hove a distinctive <
style about them and are a great deal
more attractive In exterior appearance,
and their Interior arrangement I
Is much more convenient than the cottages
of the pnst generations.
Wilb the Increased cost of everything,
Including homes, whether they j'
be built or rented, the home-builder I
must exercise economy when selecting '
the design for liis new home. Every i
room added to a building adds a con- j
siderable sum to the cost, thus does {
the keen honre-builder decide on a ;
house that is plenty large enough for 1
the family, but contains no more room
than- that. Also he Insists on a room
arrangement that will permit the work
of caring for the home to be done
easily and that the honse be equipped
with the labor-saving and money*
saving home conveniences.
These desirable features have been
Incorporated In the bungalow design
shown in the accompanying Illustration.

arranged that it will house a srood
sized family and allow the work of
caring for It to be done with a minimum
amount of labor.
The bungalow is of wood construction,
set on a concrete foundation and
has a fult basement under it. While '
the floor plnn shows only six rooms, ,

HER SHARE OF "WAR WORK"
i
Young Qirl at Least Was Doing Something
for the Defenders of the
Country.
"Now that the war Is over, now that
the war clouds hnve drifted nway. we
perceive that a lot of war work was
graft, while a lot of It was bunk, pure
bunk.".
The speaker was Hamilton Holt,
the brilliant young New York editor.
"War work!" he went on. "It reminds
me of the young girl whose
chum called her up on the telephone
In 1018 and said:
"Dear, will you go to the movies
this afternoon?'
" 'No, I can't,' was the reply, Tm
on war .work.'
"'War work? You?' ,
"'Yes, wnr work, m<?. I'm washing

The floor plan shows the sizes and
irrangement of the rooms. Ranged on
>ne side are living and dining roonw
md kitchen and on the other three
tood-slxed bedrooms and bath. The
'ront door leads directly Into the living
room, which is 14 x 17 feet, a goodilzed
room. This room Is equipped
nith a large fire-place in the outside
vail with windows on either side,
rhrough a double cased opening with
i collonnnde is the dining room, also la
c 17 feet, with a three-window bay.
This arrangement makes these twe
arge rooms virtually one and permits
i free circulation of air In the hot
uonths. Al the rear of the dining
room Is the kitchen, 12 x 9 feet 9
nehes. At the rear is a porch, and at
:he side a pantry with- an outside winlow.
The stairs to the basement and
to the attic lead out of the kitchen.
Three bedrooms are ranged ulong
the other side of the house on \he first
loor. One room, which might be used
is a library or den opens oft the living
room. The other two bedrooms and
t>ath room are on a short hnll, which
is reached through the dining room,

g 11 feet; the center bedroom Is I#
reet 6 inches by 11 feet 6 inches, and
the rear bedroom Is 11 feet 6 Inches
g 12 feet 0 Inches.
The basement Is arranged for the
accommodation of the heating plant,
the fuel storage, and the laundry and
other storage rooms. This Is the type
of house that can be heated nicely, by
a plpeless furnace, as the two rooms
that demand the most heat are really
one. )
While this plan Is suggested for the
home builder who has not a large family,
It Is well to consult ah architect if
one is nvnilable. and th? locul contractor
and lumber dealer before finally
deciding on the plan for the new home.
These men are experts in building and
their knowledge and experience wilt
mmmSSm
he of great help to the prospective*
home builder. They know what is best
In home design and construction and . 0
what should be avoided so that the
home will cost as little as possible.
This fall is a time when everyone
who possibly can should build homes
of their own. Rents everywhere are
again being raised this fall, and there
seems to. be a certainty that another
Increase will be put into effect by tba
property owners next spring. Homes
are scarce and like everything else Im
a like condition bring high prices,
either at sale or in rents. The home
owner is secure in the knowledge that
he Is his own landlord and that he and
his family have a comfortable, convenient
and attractive place to live, which
is worth considerable.
Building costs have come down considerably
since early spring and, experts
say. have now reached the hot
torn for several years to come, ^here
is nothing in the present sltuntloo that
should deter those who possibly ea*
from building a home and becomlnc
their own landlords.
