LOCATING THE NEW HOME
Points That Should Be Considered Be.
fore Permanent Residence Is
Decided Upon.

While home building is not a specu'
lative investment, 1t is wise plan for
the home seeker to consider one or
two points in this connection. For ex-
ample, could he sell at profit If,
through business changes or some 9th
er necessity, he should be obliged to
sell?
II is a well.known fact that immense
fortunes have been made by people
buying on the great highways of
travel where the increasing popula-
tion of some large city, ever pushing
out from the center, pays more and
more for land.
Since inborn in the heart OF most
men is the love of making money, to
have tidy sum laid by for old age
or 'raiuy day." the home builder
looking forward to the time when
he might wish to sell will wisely To-
cate on a main line of travel, for as
the adjacent city grows. land values
must increase, and the holder of such
property correspondingly increases his
income.

PLANTS MUST BE STUDIED
less One Thoroughly Understands
Their Characteristics.

Self-education in plant growing can
be carried on in the winter as well as
in the summer. It is interesting to
study the habits and requirements OF
any plant. wheth ~ it Is in season OF
not. There are many hardy peren.
malls that can be started in the house,
and. II the work with them through
the winter is successful, they can be
set out of doors in the spring. This
includes growing from seed such
plants as rhubarb and asparagus
There is no end to the plants that may
be thus utilized. Also. plant started
and successfully brought to maturity
in the home is likely to be harder
than those plants that have been
started in hothouses and afterward
transferred to homes. If one fails
with a plant lesson should be gained
from the failure in what not to do
II one tries the growing of n good
many different kinds of plants there
are good chances for succeeding with
some of them, even under adverse con.
ditions.

DEcIDUoUs TREES IN LAWNS
Some Reasons Why They Seem to
Thrive Better There Than
Elsewhere.

An observant correspondent writes
TO ask why deciduous trees and shrubs
planted in lawns seem to thrive better
than those planted under other condi-
tions, more especially during the sum
mer months, remarks the Los Angeles
Times
Our dry summer atmosphere is very
trying on deciduous trees and shrubs
for the reason that such dry air causes
the leaves to transpire faster than
the roots can take up the necessary
moisture. such conditions during the
hot weather put the trees, figuratively,
in the position of gasping for breath.
Trees in lawns have the advantage of
being in a moister atmosphere than
when In soil with dry surface, and.
therefore, have to labor less and may
breathe" with greater comfort. The
soil moisture in lawn is also more
evenly distributed over the entire root
system than could be the case where
water is applied to trees by irrigation,
either by the furrcw system of in
basins. Deciduous trees always thrive
best in lawns.

USE FOR THE OLD RAlNC0AT
Bathing Suit for Use Next
Summer.

Save your old silk raincoat to make
a nice bathing suit for next summer
Cut the blouse and skirt from the
best part and make the bloomers
from what is left over. or from mo-
hair.
Trim It with bright braid and
make tie and cap from the spare
pieces. Another use for that old coat
is to make 1t into waterproof bags
which are very handy for carrying rub
bers or slippers to school this winter
These bags are made in the shape
of envelopes and are half yard long
and nearly as wide, Bind all around
with tape and fastcn with a snap. At
the top and at each end fasten braid
yard long. This makes it con-
venient to sling tho bag over the
shoulder and carry in this manner
