secure a car line, but there seemed no way
to get one until a new viaduct was built
over L street, as the present wooden struc

Soma of the freak bills with which slate
legislatures adorn their statute books arc
enumerated by a recent writer in the North
American Review.
A bill in New Jersey recently proposed
a license tax on whiskers, ona In Nebra.ika
a 10 per cent Income tax on bachelors,
one in Minnesota msde It a crime for a
furmer not to practice rotation of crops,
ona In Iowa required all eggs to be stamped
with the date when they were laid, one
in Missouri prohibited treating In such
sweeping terms that the purchase of Ice
cream for a young girl by her beau would
have been Illegal under Its provisions.
Of course such fantastic bills usually
fall, but a surprising number of them have
got on the atatute books in the past. Ken
tucky, for Instance, has made it a felony
to trespass un a ginseng garden. Georgia,
doubtless in memoiy of many bucolic swin
dles, Imposes a tag of $25 In each county
on peddlers of patent churns and patent
fences.
The forty-six states exhibit as many
crotchets as so many headstrong opinion
ated individuals. How these come into
being la Illustrated by the many different
ways In which an entirely new subject
for legislative action can be regarded. The
popularity of tha automobile brought such
a subject before the state and local law
making bodies generally, some ten years
ago. Thirty-six tat hava passed auto
mobile laws since then.
Not only are no two of these atatutes
exactly alike, but not one of them copies
the essential feature of th law of the
country from which most of our success
ful horseless vehicles were at first Im
ported. The Idea of the French law was
and la to Impose no specific restriction
on speed or power, but to hold the driver
and owner to. tin strictest accountability
for all damage.
A motor bicycle la an automobile in In
diana, while a traction engine la not; both
are automobiles In New Jersey, neither In
New York a state of affairs which re
calls the railway conductor' famous de
oislon that 'Cats la dogs and rabbits Is
dogs, but turtles Is Inseck."
There la one facetious clause, that of
Kansas confirming "the prerogative of any
political chauffeur "to run an automo-
bilious band wagon at any rate he sees
fit compatible with the safety of the occu
pant thereof. . , . provided that when
ever a mangled and bleeding political
corpse Implores for mercy the driver of
the vehicle shall. In accordance with the
provisions of this bill 'throw out the life
line.' "
So many' association interested In par
ticular subjects have drafted bills to be
urged upon the legislatures that a stale
so disposed could supply Itself with a rea
sonably complete outfit of "model" laws.
The greater number of these are either
based on the statute of some particular
state or have been adopted by gome of the
legislatures after having been originally
drafted or approved by an unofficial body.
Hut no one statute book contain today
any 1 considerable proportion of these
model" laws and no Individual or organ
ised body, however conspicuous or influl
antlal, has ever persuaded our forty-six
state legislatures to take identical action
on any subject, however simple. It Is an
entirely non-political body, the Association
of Audubon Societies, which has apparently
oome nearest .o performing this feat.
Its law for the protection of non-game
birds la In force today over a larger stretch
of American territory than any comparable
piece ef statute law not a federal enact
ment. In tho crusade for it passage hu
manitarian arguments hava been coupled
with economy for tha farmers lose four
fifths of $1,000,000,000 a year through insect
depredations.
Among the friends of the model law
are included leading men and women of
every community, while the opponents,
plume hunters and pot hunters, are con
temptible In numbers and Influence. Yet.
year of effort have not brought the law
Into force everywhere. When the legisla
tures or 1907 adjourned three southern
statea, five western states and three ter
ritories had refused to Join the movement,

the national government and the states
might be expected to Join and supplement

is naturally the pattern of state enact
itients. Within two year after Its passage
eleven stales hsd amended their own laws
bo as to bring them Into conformity with
th federal statute, while seven other
which had previously made no ffort at
food control had passed law on th ted
era! model.
Ail these had copied, among other things,
tha federal policy of exempting the dealer
from prosecution In rasa he hold the
manufacturer' guarantee of th purity uf
l la goods expressed In th now familiar
label, but even this group of new lw
carries the states only a third of tha way
toward effective uniformity of policy. Al-
teady. Indeed, there have been conflict
between federal and stale authorities on
the question of the atatu of particular
products.
In 19ot furly atate sent delegates to
divorce congress called at th request of
the stat of Pennsylvania. This congress
marked, perhaps, th most conspicuous and
Influential attempt of recent veara
arouse public eei.timent In favor of unl
firmity respecting so important branch of
legislation. It would scarcely b possible
for commonwealths to differ more un any
ubject than they do tn their attitude
toward divorce. Over twenty different
cauat are recognised In one atate or an
other, while one state, Houth Carolina, be
lieves In granting no absolute divorces at
all. It showed the delegates' clear percep
tion of tha difficult' in th way of oblit
rratirg distinctive stat policies that th
congifss of is did not ven attempt to
unify taunt for divorce.
USKIN ay that "simplicity Is
the terminal point of all prog
ress." Nowhere Is this fact
emphasised to a greater ex
tent than in domestic architec
ture. No matter what the style,
siie or cost of a home. It shoihd
be kept in harmony with Us surround
ings and Us furnishings. If the design
of a home Is a simple one, easily com
prehended, it Is not difficult to make the
surroundings and furnishings In harmony
with It; but if the home is designed In un
elaborate ' style, sometimes several styles
and different style of architecture em
phasised In different rooms of the Inter
ior, the problem becomes complex and
more difficult of solution. It Is difficult
for the average homebullder to compre
hend why he cannot, have a little of every
thing In his home and still have it at
tractive. Kvcry room In a home may be
perfect In detail, but when the reception
hall Is colonial, the parlor In the empire
style, the library Iri the mission style and
the dining room in the craftsmen style,
furnished with Htlckney furniture, with
the furniKhing in the various rooms cor
responding the effect as a whole is not
harmonious.
If the colonial style In the keynote to
the exterior, the colonial style should be
carried out throughout the Interior and
be emphasized in the layout of the
ground a to settees, pargollas, etc., when
the grounds are of sufficient size to permit
of these luxuries. There has he.en but
one period In the history of our country
when all things were designed In harmony,
ana It is a singular fact that little is to
bo found today that excel! the style of
dress, architecture, furniture, decoration
and bric-a-brac of the colonial period of
American history. In dreaa they far ex
celled as to taste and personality, espe
cially the style used for men. While some
ridiculous fad were used such as the
powdered wig, there is no doubt but what
there was more Individual character dis
played In the male attire of the colonial
period, than we can claim for tho style
In vogue today. Kach man was dressed In
the manner and color suited to bis sta
tion In life, official capacity or stature.
The same Individual character Is evident to
larg extent In the styles of domestic
colonial architecture and furnishings.
There Is more character. Individuals v
and a better example of American irtni-
shown in domestic colonial architecttur.

to a visitor who mentally commented on
the beauty of a magniflclent colonial en

Into hall designed In th severest mis

kept In harmony with both and this can
only b done (when the upper lights are

Most people invite visitor Into their homes
by the front door. It la Just as well that
they do. The back door Is seldom a credit
to their taste. Why not have your house
designed "all front" and have a garden at
the rear? If you want a small house to

architecture to domestic needs by several
prominent Kngllsh architect who wera the
recognised heads of their profession in
England during the formative period of
American history. It 1 quite natural that
th younger architects who came over to
carve out fame and fortune In England's
most promising colonial possession, should
carry oul the Impressions of Hie work then
being dun by the English masters of then
profession. England, however, had her
Uuthlc architecture which had grown and
developed with her history and which aha
alway relumed tu fter tiring of new
arcnitttclural fads. The colonial style,
