New York.-SomeWha more than
four years ago an American man found
himself lost in the streets of London
one night He was going to dine at a
private home in a quiet neighborhood
and when thick fog settled down he
became confused, wandered this way
and that and finally stood still on the
pavement wondering what to do next.
Then he saw some one coming toward
him carrying a lantern. Nearer and
nearer came the light and soon the
American perceived that it was borne
by a lad wearing uniform. who
stopped, saluted, and said:
81 beg your pardon, sir. but can l
be of service to your"
Indeed you can!" the American ex-
claimed and quickly explained his
plight.
That's all right, sir" the lad re-
sponded eff you will step this way
I'll show you where you want to go.
It's only short distance"
The American thanked his young
guide heartily and arriving at his des-
tination tried to pay him for the trou-
BILE he had taken. But the lad de-
ciined. ses
Much obliged, sir" he said, "but
caff't take money for doing a good
turn That's what am out for this
foggy evening"
How do yoy mean?' asked the
American, instantly interested and
forgetful of idiom.

one of my duties-all Boy Scouts have

day. II they don't they fail to keep

minutes. for at once he grasped some

ing, heating and lighting, shows this
to be an extremely economical design
to build.
The hip roof, while being the most
artistic and satisfactory type for this
kind of a building, is also the most
economical. The plan is very nearly
square in general outline and SO can
be constructed and arranged to good
advantage without waste of time and
material
The floor plans show the desirable
features of arrangement Three fine
rooms are provided on the first floor,
besides the large. porch and entrance

of the material help the lads gave her
when she was without means of sup
port and how their cheerfulness and
brightness gave her more courage
than anything else.
The list of rescues of drowning per-
sons saved by scouts is a long one,
and the instances come from almost
every part of the country.
One of the most widespread duties
rendered by scouts last year was in
connection with the county fairs held
at various places throughout the coun-
try. At fair after fair, where country
people gathered by thousands, alert
little fellows wearing scout uniforms
acted as guides, cared for persons
overcome by the heat, found lost chill
dren and restored them to distracted
parents and in other ways showed
that they could do things worth while.

Mr.. William 4. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building, for the readers of this
paper. On account of his wide experience
as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he

on all these subjects. Address all inquiries

The well-to-do suburban builder is
getting rather particular about the
kind of house he puts up. It is not
enough to simply provide comfortable
shelter for his family and have room
enough for all; but the general style
and appearance Of the house has to
be given due thought SO that it will
work in well with its surroundings
and conform in size and style to what
his friends and neighbors consider
necessary for his home. Something
OF spaciousness, dignity and hospital
ity has to be embodied in such
structure. The exact order of archi-
lecture to be used may not be pre-
scribed-some of those details are left
to the home builder himself and to his
architect-but nevertheless, custom
prescribes the quality and general
character of the building.
One of the features that public, opin-
ion is coming more and more to re-
quire is that suburban dwellings
should be as nearly fireproof or fire.
resisting as possible Fire protection
IN small towns and suburban localities
is very seldom all that it should be-
Common business sense directs that
IN such locations extra precautions
should be taken, especially for resi-
dences, to make them as nearly fire.
proof as possible. This carries with
it the obligation to build substantially
and well, at the same time using as
artistic design as may be. so that
the building which is to last for three
or four generations will throughout all
that time be source of pride to the
owner and an Improvement to the
neighborhood.
The design illustrated on this page
will be found to fulfill all these con-
ditions and to recommend itself as
being at once dignified and attractive

ton and, using permanent materials,

late it has amused itself by catching
jack rabbits, which could not run all
over the country because of high
water.
Many rabbits were marooned on a
500-acre dry field. After catching a
dozen, which it could not kill because
of its weak jaw, it pined and dropped
for many hours.
Then" said Glenn, 'it seemed to
have an idea. 1t leaped away to the
chase, caught a big rabbit and car
ried it to the water, waded In and
drowned it."

SLAUGHTER DEER ONE A DAY
Despite its Heavy Population, Alameda
County Is Good Field for

Oakland, Cal.-Although it has a
population of more than three hundred
persons to the square mile, 420 deer
were killed in Alameda county during
1918, an average of considerably more
than one day.
Despite the heavy population of the
county, there are parts of it, among

sidered practically fireproof.
There is no combination of mate
rials more pleasing to the eye than
this high-grade face brick and the ce-
ment plaster in a harmonizing color.
AS far as warmth and freedom from
dampness are concerned this form of
construction insures the best possible
results, and the expense is not very
much greater than for an ordinary
frame house covered with beveled
siding.
The fact that this house has been
built number of times for $4,000 and

and all equipment, including plumb

On the second floor there are four
good-sized bedrooms, with large closet
space attached. The bathroom is con-
veniently located. Altogether, this de-
sign is one of the most satisfactory
for suburban and city use of any de-
sign executed this year. Home build
ers can get many good ideas from the
study of these plans.
