like this, homes for the common
people, the ones Abraham Lincoln said
the Lord must love because he made
80 many of them.
But even a small house like this
cannot be made comfortable and
homelike unless 1t is started right. In
the first place cellar drainage must
be looked to when the excavation is
being made for the foundation. This

In the country no one builds his house

can for a few extra dollars have a
course of drain tile laid outside of the

In cities the practise Of living In rent
ed apartments is so common that the
home feeling is sacrificed for the ques-
tionable advantage of being near the
center of the city. This has led to
the habit OF moving from house to
house, or from one fat to another un-
til moving may be almost character
lied as a national mania. The mem
bers OF a family soon get tired Of a
fiat on noisy street in the city and
they move into another fat in the
vain hope Of finding something more
comfortable.
You seldom find among such people
the contented home sentiment that
means so much to the cid-fashioned
people we occasionally meet in coun-

This is a new modification of the
old cottage house idea that Is being
built in some sections of the middle
West. The low roof with a wide pro-
lection gives the house a different
finish. sort of plain. aristocratic neat
ness that everybody likes. The house
may be built of wood, brick, cement
or stone. 1t is often built of wood to
the caves and the gables plastered
with cement mortar on metal lath.
You can get FIVE rooms in a cottage
of this style and secure more comfort
for the investment than you can get
from flve-room, two-story house, and
1t looks well when nicely kept.
NSuSiaily cpcdhluB, COtldScS are
now being built more than ever be-
fore, not that they are new, but be-
cause they may be cheaply built and
because they are especially adapted
TO the suburbs and country places.
The women seem to like a cottage
house after they become accustomed
to 1t, partly because 1t is easier to
do the Homework where the rooms
are all on one floor, but at the same
time, there is less excuse to neglect
things. We have all had the expert
ence of going through a house unex-
pectedly when the downstairs was

companied such 81 excursion, but the
fact is a woman puts of going up
stairs to attend to the homework as

incentive to keep 1t looking nicely.

LIoht From IN. Earth

The darkest part OF the sky is al

of lot of light. Scientists OF the
Franklin institute have measured this
earth light and have found that it is
of the order Of one-tenth part OF the

partially, to a permanent aurora bore
ais which is revealed by the charac-
teristic green ray observed on OBJ
