War Causes Flag Changes.

Each great war has witnessed a diff
ferent number of stars in the flag OF
the United States. There were 10
stars in the banner at the time of the
Revolution. In the War of 1912 the
number had increased to Is. During
the Mexican war 29 stars flashed in
the constellation Of the national en-
blem. During the fratricidal strife of
the Civil conflict there were 35 stars
representing a Union that was being
threatened with disruption.
Forty-five stars sparkled on our vic
torious ensign while the American
arms were defending national honor
in the Spanish-American war.
Today, during the crucial days of
the greatest war in history, the Union
has increased to As stars representing
that number of sovereign states all
closely united in the one great nation

peace.

Flowers IN CONCRETE WALLS.
Monotony of Driveway Relieved by
Device Of Designer Who Gave
Thought to Subject.

In designing a residence driveway
which was to be cut through a ter
race, a builder avoided the monotony
of having two long concrete retain
ing walls fianking either side by
breaking them at intervals with semi
circular inches in which plants could
be placed. These spaces were made
so that they broke what otherwise
would have been the straight line of
the two copings. Each was made
about 8 feet in depth and 2 feet wide
and given the same finish as the ex
terror walls. Concrete ~jardinieres
were made for the plants which were
set in the spaces.-Popular Mechanics

partitions. Sometimes the studdingI
are extended to meet the ~rafters.
When this is done a very solid house
frame is the result.
There Is a big cellar under this lit
tie cottage that may be made useful
for storage by running partitions
across to separate the heating plant
from the other rooms. The laundry
in the basement of a cottage house or
bungalow should amount to more than
the laundry in a two-story house, be-
cause the extra space should be made
to count for as much as possible.
The laundry under this house should
be fitted with the usual stationary
tubs, but it also needs a laundry stove
and a large work table, a mangle and
good ironing boards. There should be
a good thick rug on the concrete floor
to stand on while doing the ironing.
Such a laundry room needs good
deep windows that may be easily
opened for ventilation when necessary,
1t then makes a shop where tools and
la~bor-saving conveniences may be per-
manently installed for use week after
week the year round. Too little at
tention is paid to l~abor-saving conven-
fences to help out in house work.
The floor plan Of this cottage house
is laid out for comfort. The two bed
rooms and bathroom occupy one side Of
the house, preferably the side to the

used less than the living rooms and
it is not necessary to have much heat
in a bedroom.
The living room and dining room
could be easily made into one large
living room with a fireplace in the
far end. The only change necessary
would be to connect the dining room
and pantry with a doorway, which
would be an improvement over the
plan of placing the doorway between
the dining room inc kitchen. The
chimney would be larger and placed
in the center of the dining DON wall.
This one big chimney would answer
for the furnace in the basement, the
kitchen range and the large fireplace
in the living room without adding very
much to the expense of the house.
A fireplace at the end of this long
sitting room-parlor with a built-in
bookcase and buffet to match makes
a very pleasant finish and helps to fur
nish the room. Ffreplaces when well
built add a great deal of comfort to
the home. When artistically arranged,
they add greatly to the interior finish.
1t is fashionable to leave the chin

rough, ~dark-colored brick are used
with colored mortar to match. The
chimneys are large and the mantels
are heavy, with woodwork extending

it is easily kept clean. 1t is the most
