as strong as I ever did, and can eat most anything. *

SENATE APPROVES I;
REQUEST FOR PEACE
INDORSE PRESIDENT WILSON'S
REQUEST FOR A STATEMENT
OF PEACE TERMS-'
THREE DAYS' DEBATE ENDS
Senator Jones Resolution Indorses
Only a Portion of the President's
Peace Note Sent Recently to the
Foreign Warring Powers.
Washington.—Approval of I'renldont
Wilson's request for a statement of
peace terms from tho lCuropean bolllg- j
erents was voted by the senate at the j
conclusion of three days' of stirring i
debate. Action came with dramatic
suddenness when Democratic leaders
decided to accept a form of resolution j
that would not commit the senate to
endorsement of the whole of the I'res j
Ident's note, and 10 Republicans of j
the Progressive group Joined the ma
porlty in making tho vote 48 to 17.
Senator Marline of New York was
the only Democrat to vote In the
' negative.
Discussion of the subject had reach-
I ed a climax during tho day with a
sensational declaration by Senator
Lewis, chief spokesman for the Demo
crats replying to Republican Criticism _
of the President's course. Without
referring directly to the submarine
controversy the Senator said the Unit
ed Stntes could not keep out of the
war If It continued and that America
would not again accept misconception
of orders or zeal of an officer as an
excuse for an Injury to a citizen or
property.
Tho chief objection urged against
the original resolution offered by Sen
ator Hitchcock was that It would en
dorse the President's offer to Join In '
a movement to guarantee world peace :
and his declaration of tho Interest of
the United States In small Nations..
Thu resolution adopted was pro-1
posed by Senator Jones, Republican |
of Washington, and was accepted by 1
Senator Hitchcock ns a substitute for ,
his own. It resolves:
"That tho senate approves and !
strrtftgly endorses the request by tho
President In the diplomatic notes of
December 18 to alie nations now en
gaged In war. that these nations state
I tho terms upon which peace might be
j discussed."

Now that I lie automobile Is becoming
more und more u necessity rut her than
a luxury, the question of providing a
garage Is irecelvlng more attention
than It was given during the early
days of the "horseless carriage." The
man who has spent a considerable
amount of money on an uutomoblle
does not feel satisfied with placing It
In an old barn or shed. If the lot on
which his house Is built will allow
enough space it Is easy to build a gar
ace which will harmonize with the de
sign of the house. The man who uses
the automobile usually has his archi
tect Include a garage design in the
plans for his new home.
Although the detached garage has
many advantages, there are also Sev
ern! reasons why a garage which Is
built as a part of the house may have
special advantages In some chuck. Since
such u garage may be entered from the
house It Is u very handy place to huve
the automobile located. This feature
Ih of special Importance during rainy

and warm when It Is needed. There
Is greater safety In keeplug this expen

much easier to keep the batteries In

not necessary to go out of the house

agined that a garage built as a part of

Bore to be dreaded than the kitchen.
It Is usually a rather difficult prob
lem to design a house with a garage
attached which will have a satisfac
tory appeafance. Since the garage
does not require a great deal Of head
room and yet It must be placed at least
down to the grade line, It is necessary
to build some part of the house above
It The question becomes centered in
what part of the house may be built
above the garage without causing a
disturbance in the room arrangement
A separate room Is usually the best
solution since the floor level does not
coincide with either the first or sec
ond floor of the main structure, as a

rule. This fact Is usually taken ad
vantage of and the staircase Is built
to connect with the room above the
garage, eliminating a landing between
the first and second floors and saving
a great deal of space in the stairway.
The use to which the room may be put
Is more or less limited by its peculiar
position, but there are enough uses
for the space to warrant Its being
made a part of the house. The space
la peculiarly adapted to'a sun parlor,
sewing room or den.
In the illustrations a design Is shown
which makes the garage a part of
the house And utilizes the space above
the garage for a sun parlor. The
hous# Is built upon a terrace and the
driveway, leading to the garage, is
brought straight in at the sidewalk
level, allowing only enough slope to
provide good drainage.
The entire house and garage are fin
ished In stucco with durk wood trim.
Low arch type construction is used In
the porch and all roofs are built as
flat as Is consistent with good con
struction. A pergola roof above the
sun parlor adds a note of distinction.
The entire exterior is Impressive and
elegant.
The details of interior finish nre
fully In keeping with the general ex
cellence of the design, and tlie room ar
rangement Is all that tlie particular
home-builder could ask for In conve
nience and elegance. Theteceptlon ball
Is fitted with u seat and litis a -wide
closet handily located. The opening be
tween this bull and the living room Is
cased. The entire side wull of the
house in the living rooin is occupied
by the fireplace and two bookcases.
A wide cased opening ut the rear of
the living room leads to the dining
room. The Buffet In the latter room
Is built below four windows. In a
square bay. There are five other win
dows In the room.
The sun parlor Is five steps above
the living room and the seat built Into
the nook Just Inside the cased opening
from tlie living room Is a very pleas
ant detail. The garage is entered from
a passage between the living room and
the kitchen. Between the kitchen and
the dining room la the butler's pantry.
The opening on the kitchen side Is
cased and on the dining txoom side
there is a double-acting door.
The stair from the sun parlor leads
to a stair hall on the second floor. All
rooms on this floor open from the ball.
There are four bedrooms, all provided
> lth generous closet space, and a bath.
All rooms on this floor are well lighted
and full height. The house Is Intended
for a rather large family or It may be
used to a very good advantage by peo
ple who are In the habit of inviting
guests for extended visit* There is an
abundance of room on each floor and
S the inany S|ieclal features which have
been IncorjHirated Into the design are
sure' to leave a good impression with
anyone who might have the opportu
nity to exumliie the house carefully.
The design Is an excellent example of
one method by which the garage mny
be made a part of an attractive house
without taking anything from its at
trac^veness.

Memory Verses, 32, 33—Golden Text,
John i, 29—Commentary Prepared by
Rev. D. M. Stearns.
When John the Baptist.was question
ed as to who lie was he said that be
was not the Christ, uor Elijah, nor
the expected prophet, but simply a
voice crying in the wilderness, "Make
straight the way of the Lord" (versus
10-23). Ills commission Is found in
Isa. xl, 3-8, where It Is said that he
was to prepare the wav of the Lord
and make straight in the desert o high
way for our God and to cry, "All tiesh
Is grass, and all the goodiincss thereof
is as the flower of the Held. * * • the
grass withereth. the (lower fadeth, but
the Word of nur God shall stand for
ever." The Spirit through .Malachi
said of him. as well as of the real
Elijah, yet to come. "Beho'd, I will
send you Elijah l.ie prophet before the
coming uf tlie great and dreadful day
of the Lord" (Mai. Iv, !>. 0i The angel
Gabriel said of him to his father i
Zacharlas, "lie shall lie great in the I
sight of the I.iiid. ** • mid he shall |

from Ills ointtier's womb; he shall go

Spirit, snld hi' liiru. "And thou, child,
slittlt lie railed t'.ie prophet of the High
est, for thou shall go before the face ,
of the Lord to prepare Ills nays"
(Luke I, 13-17. i»7-7Ui. The Lord Jesus
said of him. "Among them that are
horn of women there hath uot risen a
gfeater than John tile Baptist" (Matt
xl, 11).
When questioned farther by the
Pharisees as to why lie baptized If
lie was not some great one, he said
that there tf'iis one standing among
them whom I hey know not, the latchet
of whose shoes he was uot worthy to
unloose, and that while he (John) bap
tlzed with water the unknown one
would baptize with the Holy Ghost
(verses 24-27. 33). He Is ever the same
Jesus. Trust Hltn to baptize you with
the Holy Spirit now and hear Him say,
'Be It uulo lliee, even as thou wilt;"
'Whatsoever things ye desire when ye
pray, believe that ye receive them and
.yeßhnll have them" iMark xl, 24). The
vtM"t John the next day as he saw
4Sus com In: unto him, "Behold the
Lamb of God, who takcth away the
sin of (lie world," was one of the
greatest cries that one mortal could
make to another.

WEBB-KENYON PROHIBITION
BILL HELD CONSTITUIONAL.
Victory Is Most Sweeping Ever Won
In Fight Against Liquor.
Washington.—ln the most sweeping
of all decisions upholding prohibition
laws, the Supreme Court upheld as
constitutional and valid the Webb-
Kenyon law prohibiting shipments of
liquor from "wet" to "dry" states. It
also sustained West Virginia's receis
amendment to her law prohibiting im
portation In interstate commerce of
liquor for personal use.
/.fter having been vetoed by Pres
ident Taft, who held it unconstitu
tional, and having been re-passed by
Congress over his veto, the law was
sustained by the Supreme Court by
a vote of 7 to 2. Leaders of the
prohibition movement declare It Is

ance to the proposed constitutional
amendment.
Lawyers for liquor Interests who
heard the decision admitted it upheld
and applied the law "In Its fullest

"BUFFALO BILL" FACES DEATH
AS CALMLY AS ON THE PLAINS.
Denver, Col.—Col.-William F. Cody
(Buffalo Bill) dying In Denver, faced
death In the same manner that he
has faced it many times on the p*«.lns
of the West In conflicts that made his
name famous.
The Colonel was warned of the ap
proach of the end of his life by Dr
J. H. East, ihs physician and friend
He had summoned the physician to
the home of his sister, where he Is
spending his la&t hours. When Doctor
East walked- into his room, Colonel
Cody said:
"Sit down, doctor, there (■ some
thing I want to ask you. I want yoi
to answer me honestly. What are
my chances?" ,
Doctor East turned to the scoot.
"There Is a time, Colonel," said he,
'when every honest physician must
•ommend his patient to a higher
power."
Colonel Cody's head sank,
i "How long?" he asked simply.
"I can answer that," said the phy
sician, "only by telling you your life
Is like the hour glaßs. The sand Is
slipping gradually, slowly—but soon
the sand will all be gone. The end
is not far away."
Colonel Cody turned to his slater,
Mrs. May Decker:
"May," said he, "let the Elks and
Masons take charge of the funeral."
Then the man who made history In
the West when it was young began
methodically to arrange his affairs.
