Meeting with Successes in Great
World War.

England have made wonderful

The first figures one sees on enter
ing the garden are Adam and Eve,
who stand eight feet high, hands
clasped over the gate. One serpent
is putting an apple in Ewes extended

to death by Adam, while the devil ap-
pears overhead on limb with spear
poised and malevolent eyes glazing at
this worlds first lovers.
Mr.. Dinsmoor confesses that they
were made with cement and q trowel.
Some people don't like the looks of
Eve, and their creator admits he
doesn't blame them. But then, he ex-
plains, his models were women who
passed the house, and as they gen.
orally passed in a hurry, he couldn't
follow them very closely.
There are two things about the gar
den that the townspeople do not like.
One is the allseeing eye on a high
cement pole which winks electrically
at night as If it were solemn warn
ing to all who look at it.
The other has to do with the prin-
cipal figures of the garden, which are
mounted in trees REINFORCED by gas
pipes. Very often when a curious

the creations, Mr.. Dinsmoor, who
loves a joke, will slip to the base

more figures, Biblical and otherwise,
perched in concrete trees in his front
yard and glowering down in their I'M
passivity on villagers who pass that
way by day, but who sedulously avoid
it after dark.
In the center of the Garden of Eden,
in the midst of all this ghostly array
of cement creations, is Mr.. Dinsmoor's
cabin home. a log house" built of
stone from native lodges. One OF the
two porches is ornamented with &C.
ment beer bottles and jugs and mugs
as a sort of merry jibe at Kansas pro-
hibition laws. One of the many in
laid tables in the cabin home is a
small one which contains 1872 pieces
of wood. Over the door in the living
room is what the old gentleman calls
q wooden sermon. It is the motto:
Home Is What You Make It."
Outside, as he facetiously explains.
the sweep OF his hand taking in the
petrified Garden of Eden, are 100
stone sermons. It took over 433
tons, or 100 sacks, of cement to make
them, and the cost so far has been over
$1,000. But even at that Mr.. Dinsmoor
declares he is far from being through.
There is a system to everything about
the place. The garden to the west
represents the creation and fall of
man according to Moses. The front.
or north, represents modern civiliza-
ton, how one animal preys on an
other down to the little worm. There
are eight cement trees from 80 to 40
feet high lighted with 20 electric
lights. For the grape arbor, flag,
devil and rambling rose to stand on
there are 13 trees from to 20 feet
high.
It all seems to represent q lot of
hard work. But Mr.. Dinsmoor is a
philosopher. 1t wasn't work. he says.
but play. Work, according to his
theory. is doing something you don t
like to do. He worked for SO years.
Then he went to playing. He found
when he fed pigs for play they got
fat: II he fed them for profit he fed
100 much, and they died. He figured
