AMERICA - 1S MAKING . THLES Decorations in Spanish, Moorish and ‘' Other Designs of Past Centuries Add to Beauty of Homes. In this country the making of tiles !/ has been taken up with enthusiasm by ' potters. The. styles ‘'wary greatly in color and texture, showing Spanish, | Moorish, German, old English and oth- ‘er designs. The interesting way. in which they may be used to decorate a modern facade is shown in a house on Nineteenth street, New York city. The tiles are set oft with especial re- finement and brilliancy by the rough cement background. The large:panel over the door is of & pleasing, medium blue color, and the decoration is of a peacock, the whole panel being“in four parts. These were taken from the Basilica of St. Apollin- aris at Ravenna. Around it is a border of tiling and cement and the small tiles which ornament the ground show two swastika forms. One of these is copied from a tfle at Tyro, the other copied from one ex- cavated at Persepolis. This doorway 18 further enhanced by large garden pots, one:én either side. These are made of:the same materials, a gray, negative concrete, with tiles of his- toric design in dull greens and blues and browns imbedded in the material of the vase. The tulip design on one of these vases is eighteenth century German. Mistakes in Drainage. It has been learned by experience as well as by experimental investiga- tion that the influence of a tile drain in removing water from soil of uni- . form. character is increased by low- ering the drain. A drain laid at'a’'con- siderable depth along one 'side of a road is better than two drains at less depth, one on each side of the road, iprovided the soil Is of a unlform character. Unfortunately, this.quali- fying: provision in the general state-|. ment is often forgotten, and a single MNne of tile is laid along one :side of a road Where the conditions are such that it cannot possibly perform the de- sired work. In a subsoil which changes from sand to a compact, fairly imper- vious clay at six feet, it would be un- wise to install drains deeper than six feet, for otherwise they would be in material yielding very little water, and G:lght even- prove. less effective than drains laid 'at the level of the clay surface. . - . \ Fine Traits of Mexicans, A New England business man, who has agencles in over twenty. cities in Mexico, recently stated that during 22 years of dealing with the Mexicans he has never lost an_ account. This incident Is quoted by,Miss Clementina Butler as:an illustration of one; of the fine qualities of the Mexican people. Miss Butler, who is a missionary and the daughter of the founder of the Methodist missions, in Mexico,; says further: i “The agent of the American Bible soclety, with his. helpers, canvassed 8 Mexican city and its suburbs for one month, offering copies of the Bible, mMestaments, and portions of the Scrip- tures at every door, the huymble hut avhers tnmine conditions prevall and the homes of the well-to-do. In that one month, in spite of the traditional fear of the book, the agents of the American Bible soclety sold in those 30 days over 10,000 coples. So far have the Mexican people come in their tden that God's word is the founda- tion of the true liberty for which they Yong.” Specials at the midji Meat Market “THE CASH AND CARRY SHOP” Franks Style Sausage .20¢c ‘Wieners Hamburger Steak Pork Sausage Pork Chops ..
