Hungarian border around to central
France. Here cotton, laces, embroid-
cries, machines, silks, straw-plaiting,
ribbons, locomotives, watches, clocks
and leather wares are manufactured
for export; while in the hills and fiat
lands of the central plain are situated
the Swiss farms, many of the impor-
tant dairies, straw-plaitipg, wood-carv-
ing and chemical industries. The
straw-plaiting is made by the peas
antry 1t is a home industry, as is
that of the Swiss wood carving. De-
spite it's isolation in the midst of great
industrial competitors and it's lack of
almost all of the important raw mate
rials, it is to its mills and factories
that Switzerland mainly owes its
wealth.
The mountain republic derives less
support from its agriculture than does
any country in Europe except Nor
way, for only about one-sixth of it can
be titled. Many of it's farms have
been coaxed into being on the abrupt
mountain sides, and to till them is al
most as dangerous task as that of
the structural iron worker on a sky
scraper. Fully half of the country lies
above the zone of agriculture, and
much of the soil that could be made
productive is used as pasture land.
Switzerland grows hemp, fax, cara
way, fruits (citron, lemon, mulberry,
orange, olive and pomegranate), corn,
maize, oats, poppies, potatoes, barley,
rye, spelt, saffron. tobacco and
wheat. In normal times it had to i'm.

placed on three sides of the room
There are two wide windows facing
out on to the porch and also two
small windows on each side of the
fireplace. In the end of the room op
posite the fireplace there is also a
wide window. In room that is much
longer than it is wide. the fireplace
is generally located in one end of the
room, though sometimes a different
arrangement is used. In this case
the brick fireplace is at one end and
is farked on either side by bookcases
which are placed under the small win
dows. The big brick fireplace makes
this room unusually cozy and cheer
ful, due to the long, narrow character
of the room.
Back of the living room is the dining
room. Along it's outside wall is a
square bay of three windows with a
buffet built in front of it. The dining
room is connected to the living room
by wide cased opening.
The kitchen, pantry, and back porch
are back of the dining room. The
kitchen is fairly small compact room

One of the greatest objections to
flats is the lack of privacy due to the
elimination of all halls. The home

rooms are readily accessible and at
the same time privacy is insured This
] is due largely to the small hall that
runs between the bedrooms, with
doors into each one and also doors
into the bathroom, the kitchen, and
the dining room After a few doors
are closed the bedrooms are cut of
from the rest of the house and at the
same time they can be easily reached
The bathroom is placed between the
two bedrooms, which is the best sort

Introducing FOREIGN Plants.

The introduction of foreign seeds
and plants by the United States de-
partment of agriculture has assumed
immense proportions. The total num-
ber of varieties introduced since 1907,
when the section of seed and plant
introduction was established, amount
ed last July to more than 10000 Dur
ing the last year more than 1000 va
rieties we're introduced, while III, ,S31
experimental plants and 11,465 pack
cts of seed were placed with expert
menters, and a record was kept of
each. During the same year more
than 500 shipments of experimental
seeds and plants were made to for
eign agricultural institutions, in ex-
change for material sent to this coun-
try by them.

silk industry of Switzerland is found

The advantages that have aided the
Swiss in their energetic strivings fol
material well-being are, for the most
part, such advantages as can be of lit
tie use while their neighbors on every
hand are at war. One of the great
aids to Swiss industrial progress has
been the superabundance of water
power, the nearness of the French coai
fields of st. Etienne, moderate wages
paid for labor, nearby markets fol
the purchase of raw materials and foi
the sale of manufactured goods, and
an excellent system of communities
tions by railway and splendid roads
Switzerland, also, was so placed be
tween France, Germany, Italy and
Austria-Hung that she was able tc
take a certain toll in transit upon the
trade which these lands did with one
another. Lastly splendid source OF
revenue to the Swiss has been theiI
Incompatible mountain scenery. Ac
cording to one estimate, natural beau
ties have been regularly bringing into
Switzerland more than hundred mil
lion dollars of tourists money. Two
of these sources of income, that de
rived from transit freight and thai
created annually by thousands of free
spending visitors, have been complete
ly destroyed by the war; and it il
doubtful that the amounts thus lost
to the mountain republics yearly rev
enue can be made good by even siren
uous attention to the special needs oi
the war markets.

Who opened window ip the How
ard Harron home in Mill valley last
month and threw a bucket of soapy
water, followed by bottle of ink, on
Howard HarTon. the attorney, who
was standing on the front porch?
The answer to that question was
sought by Superior Judge Muras sky
during the trial of the divorce action
Of Mrs. Mary Harron against her l,us-
band.
Harron stated that when he tried to
visit his wife he was locked. out and
treated to an unwelcome and vari-
colored shower bath. In proof of this
he brought into court the suit of
clothes he was wearing at the time
On the stand Mrs. Harron said she

genious arrangement of smooth and
rough-faced brick and adds to the ar
tistic effect. The gable decorations
over the porch are in keeping with the
rest of the front decorations. The un-
usual railing around the window in the
gable is a sample of doing things a
little different from the ordinary way.
The three brackets supporting the
overhanging caves are also a pleas
ant feature.
A sleeping porch is built at the back
of the house and is equipped with
screens and sash. 1t adds consider
ably to the value of the house, as
sleeping porches are becoming more
and more popular.
The exterior of this home is fin
ished in shingles, and all the trim is
in white to harmonize with porch and
other exterior decorative features.
The floor plan shows five rooms, ex-
elusive of the sleeping porch, that are

The close connection which exists
between the heart and the kidneys is
well known nowadays AS soon as
kidneys are diseased, arterial tension
is increased and the heart functions
are attacked. When the kidneys no
longer pour forth waste, uremic poi
soning occurs, and the person dies and
the cause is often given as heart dis

7 AR-BOUND Switzerland has
been confronted with prob
ably the most discouraging


economic difficulties
brought about by the world, war for
any neutral country, for it depends
upon other nations for most of its raw
materials, for much of its supply of
wares for home consumption, and for
the handling of all its oversee busi-
ness, says a bulletin of the National
Geographic society.
Although not quite one-third as
large as New York state, without any
important coal and iron deposits, and
unable to produce enough food to COW
er the demands of it's people, Switz-
erland, nevertheless, has, due to sew
eral great advantages which balance
the unfavorable conditions, progressed
in wealth and comforts on even terms
with its powerful neighbors. 1t has
become an industrial country of first
rank and, at the outbreak of the war,
it possessed an important and growing
commerce with many countries.
Like Holland, the remarkable prog
ress of Switzerland must be credited
to the character of the people and to
the encourag cement of their free insti-
tutions. Nearly half of the country is
largely unproductive. All of that part
of Switzerland which lies toward Italy
in the south is a bare, snow-and-ice
crowned mountain land. including un.
exploited forests and few high pas
lures. In the north, around Lake Con-
stance, are found rich vineyards,
while above the vineyards on the
middle slopes of the Juras, are pas
ture lands where the cows are kept
from whose milk the famous Swiss
cheeses are made.
