"In order to consolidate the government Interests In these different un? dertakings a company was formed In December, 1919, called the German Industrial Stock company, with a capital of 100,000,000 marks (nominally $28,800,000; at current exchange, about $2,250,000); the whole of the shares being In the hands of the government. The state thus exercises either full or partial control, according to the number of electrical, electrochemical and other undertakings. The huge generating station- at Zachornewltz, near Bltterfleld, belonging to the Electric Plant company. Is controlled. It provides the current for the state nitrogen works in Wittenberg, obtaining the necessary fuel from adjacent lignite mines.

Great efforts were made during the war to put the manufacture of alumInSim on a flrro fooling, in orderto manufacture starts at Borrem, Bltt erf eld and.Rummelsburg, each factory . having an output of 8,000 tons of aluminum per annum. In 1916 the Erftwerk company was taken over by the government and reorganized with a capita! of 25,000.000 marks.

No.. 18X7 Prairie avenue, Chicago. III., and only enclose two-cent stamp for reply. The least number of rooms that will comfortably accommodate the family; convenient arrangement of these rooms, nnd an attractive exterior appearance are the three prime requisites for the modern home. Because they are all found in the bungalow type of home, they are extremely popular with present-day home builders. Bungalows originated In California, or at least the name did. In the middle nnd enstern states bungalows were built for many years before the name was known?they were called cottages. But bungulows have a distinctive style about them and are a great deal more attractive In exterior appearance, und their interior arrangement I is much more convenient than the cot- j tages of the past generations. Wltb the Increased cost of every- ! thing. Including homes, whether they ! be built or rented, the home-bullder I must exercise economy when selecting the design for his new home. Every room added to a building adds a considerable sum to the cost, thus does-! the keen honre-bullder decide on a house that is plenty large enough for 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 house he equipped with the labor-saving and moneysaving home conveniences. These desirable features have been incorporated In the bungalow design shown in the accompanying illustration. Here Is a handsome home?one that any family may be proud of?so r.'^? fsi Psg rl Q ? ' !?

The bungalow Is of wood construction, set on a concrete foundation and has a fulf basement under it. While the floor plan shows only six rooms, all on the first floor, the roof is designed so that additional rooms may be built in the attic. The gables of the roof, the shingle and the ship-lap HER SHARE OF "WAR WORK" Young Girl at Least Was Doing Something for the Defenders of the I Country. "Now that the war la over, now that the war clouds have drifted away, we perceive that a lot of war work was Kraft, 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 1918 and said: "Denr. will you go to the movies this afternoon?' " 'No, I can't,' was the reply, Tm on war .work.'

In the natives of the South Sea Islands there are subtle undercurrents at a heathen heritage which tend to V sMlng and the artistic front pore* aM combine to give It a fine outward appearance. Ajso the high attic Insure* a cool house In summer and a warm one In winter. * , The floor plan shows the sizes and arrangement of the rooms. Ranged oa one side are living and dining room* and kitchen and on the other three good-sized bedrooms and bath. The front door leads directly Into the living room, which Is 14 x 17 feet, a goodsized room. This room Is equipped with a large fire-place In the outside wall with windows on either side. Through a double cased opening with a collonnade Is the dining room, also 1* x 17 feet, with a three-window bay. This arrangement makes these twe large rooms virtually one and permits a free circulation of air In the hot months. At the rear of the dining room Is the kitchen, 12 x 0 feet 9 Inches. At the rear Is a porch, and at the side a pantry with an outside window. The stnirs to the basement and to the attic lead out of the kitchen. Three bedrooms are ranged along the other side of the house on llie first floor. One room, which might be used as a library or den opens o(T the living room. The other two bedrooms and bnth room are on a short hall, which Is reached through the dining room. The front bedroom Is 11 feet 0 Inches x 11 feet; the center bedroom Is ! feet 6 Inches by 11 feet 6 inches, and the rear bedroom is 11 feet 6 Inches x 12 feet 6 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 pipeless furnace, as the two room* that demand the most heat are really one. i While this plan Is suggested for the home builder who has not a large family, It is well to consult on architect If one Is available, and th? local 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 will I 99HBB i I be of great help to the prospective* home builder. They know what is best In home deslcm nnrf pftnutmcUnn and | what should be avoided so that the 1 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 the property owners next spring. Homes are scarce and like everything else is , 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 fcnmlly 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 bottom for several years to come. ^Thece Is nothing in the present sltuntlon that should deter those who possibly can from building u home and becoming j their own landlords.

R has long been known that a simple salt solution l? capable of taking the place of blood In the circulation for a time, but It Is soon lost by transfusion through the walls of the velna. This Is prevented in the new solution by the presence of a gum, which given, the fluid sufficient body to retain It In the veins for some time.
