In Philadelphia a Navy sailor was refused admission at a skating rink until showing papers, prompting a letter praising sailors and denouncing class snobbery. The writer argues shipmen earn respect, not contempt, and urges managers to halt social discrimination against armed service members.
Oberlin students heard Nathaniel Peffer describe modern war as a clash of entire societal systems not just armies. He warned conscription of labor and thought, censorship, and loss of liberty as war’s costs, urging unity toward a richer life beyond conflict. Laurence Hosie spoke on the price of peace.
City records a world–leading infant mortality drop to 23 per thousand in a year. The piece condemns snobbery toward enlisted sailors and soldiers, urging respect and better treatment in dining rooms and public life, arguing true character shows in daily work and conduct, not wartime hero worship.
The article discusses adapting a simple four room house plan to distinct exteriors such as Italian, Scandinavian, or Colonial styles using concrete stucco over metal lath. It notes that a basement can be added with little disruption, and that a steel frame with stucco walls yields a fireproof tornado proof and termite proof structure with minimal repairs.
A decor guide explains how ceiling height, fixture size, moldings, paneling, and wall treatments shape room perceived height. It notes that small fixtures suit small rooms, high placement of pictures lowers perceived height, vertical patterns lift walls, and color choices influence perceived space with dark tones shrinking and bright tones expanding.
The text discusses how to place furniture and plan rooms before construction. It notes issues like scattered doors windows and fireplaces, living rooms lacking space for couches, and bedrooms with floor space but no wall areas. It suggests consulting an architect and using cutout paper templates to test layouts.
Old wood floors in kitchens and bathrooms worn and stained should be renewed or covered with linoleum. It is easy to apply, looks good, and stays neat with little effort. Floors must be scraped smooth, nails secured or reset, felt sheets cemented, then linoleum laid and fixtures lifted onto it when possible for tight joints.
The piece advises placing principal furniture to scale, adjusting doors and windows for fit, and avoiding wide open connections between rooms. Narrower openings of about three feet preserve wall space, while glass doors are often underused. A room’s size is defined by usable space for furniture, not floor area alone.
The floors of other rooms may be covered with Maeleum. Many designs are available to suit any room and they can be waxed to a high polish, making them attractive and easy to clean.
