Burning coal in cities, and in some
OF the larger towns, smutted up white
paint to such an extent that pigments
were mixed with the white lead to add
some color. Colors and shades of
gray offer sort of protection against
black smudges from nearby Chin
neys, but discoloration really is more
often due to poor paint and to defec-
tive workmanship rather than to out
side influences.
Pure paints and oils are just as
lasting as ever when the mixing and
applying is properly done. White is
a very substantial paint. 1t Is more
lasting than colored paints when the
same grade of materials are used, for
the reason that white lead and zinc
are metallic substances that resist sun
and weather better than pigments
made from lighter materials
Quality of materials and workman
ship are two important ingredients
that are absolutely necessary to do a
satisfactory job of house painting.
Hip roofs or cottage roofs, as they
are commonly called in many sections

labor-saving conveniences may be per-
manently installed for use week after
week the year round.
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
north or east. The bedrooms are
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 fireplace in the
far end. The only change necessary
would be to connect the dining room
and pantry with doorway, which
would be an improvement over the
plan of placing the doorway between
the dining room and kitchen. The
chimney would be larger and placed
in the center Of the dining room 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
very pleasant finish and helps to fur

built add a great deal of comfort to
the home. When artistically arranged

EMPTY JAlLS.
The following testimony to the ad-
vantages of prohibition appeared in
one Of the newspapers of Sussex coun-
ty. Delaware:
"The county Jail at Georgetown is
without a prisoner, and Sheriff Jacob
West is idle. The turnkey is on his
vacation, chickens are roosting in the
cells and the jail yard will probably be-
planted in early corn unless another
applicant appears. The lone prisoner,
Elwood Armstrong, who was afraid to-
stay by himself, was paroled for two
years after having confessed to steal,
ing five dozen eggs"
Further testimony as to the work
ings Of prohibition comes from Kala-
mazoo, Mich. The Gazette Of that
city on April contains paragraph
headed, kalamazoo Without Crime
for 48 Hours-Crimeless Period OF
City's History Follows Knockout of
John Barleycorn," and the item reads;

The bleachers at the north end Of
Clark Field will be removed and In
their stead will be new stands with
a seating capacity double the present
dilapidated framework.
On the east side of Clark Field the
bleachers will be built twice as high
as they are at present so that all the
rooters can assemble on the same side
OF the field. The grand stands will be
heightened and about 500 additional
box seats will be built.

MANY THOUSAND BOY SCOUTS
Membership of More Than 100000
Shown by Recent census-EVery
State Has Representation.

A recent census of the Boy Scouts
shows a membership of more than
100, 900. There are $4,000 in New York.
$4,000 in Pennsylvania Ohio. New
Jersey and Illinois have more than
5000 each. There is no state without
a representation. Even Alaska can
boast 30 Scouts. Hawaii has 140 and
Porto Rico 1875.
1t was only this last winter that
the Boy Scout movement could cele-
brate its fifth birthday. To acquire
a strength in excess of 100000 in
five years speaks for the popularity
Of Scouting. 1t speaks also for its
intrinsic worth. If it were merely a
sport the movement might prove but
a flash in the pan. 1t would enjoy it's
little hour of prominence and disap-
pear. But the Boy Scout movement
is destined to long career. Some
day there may be fewer boys out of
the Scout uniform than there are in it.
