FINLEY TO HAVE new
SCHOOL BUILDING

The question Of building a new
school building at Finley was up
for discussion. A committee of five
was appointed to cooperate with
the Board of Directors in the man
agement of the project. The drift
of the discussion was in favor of
building a foundation that would
support an eight room building of
brick, but only four rooms or the
first story will be constructed at the
present time as that many rooms
will meet the present demand for
space.

CARING FOR THE MOTHERS.

A social worker in New York calls attention to the fact that chil- dren are not the only ones that need playgrounds. The mothers of poor children are very poorly provided for and while their children have places to play, they have no places in which they may go from their poor homes and rest their tired bod ies. Breathing places. small parks, that are not given over to noisy chll- dren. should be part of every city neighborhood and care taken that the poor women and men may have hours of quiet enjoyment when they can afford them.

STORING THE NIGHT AIR.

An old-time housewife, whose 12- room house is pleasantly cool even during the dog days. says the phe- nomenon is due to d judicious preservation of the night air in- doors.
 As soon as the atmosphere be- comes pleasantly cool and fresh at night. throw open all the windows and fill the entire house with 1t. she says. During the warm morn ing and afternoon hours the win dows are closed. shutters drawn. and we revel in the delicious chill which remains from the night before. Whether or not this would be pos sible in small flat do not know, but 1t is the best possible way 10 keep cool in a house..
