Welcomed WITH SOAP SUBS

Who opened a window in the How.
ard Harron home In Mil valley last
month and threw a bucket of soapy
water, followed by a bottle of ink, on
Howard Harron, the attorney, who
was standing on the front porch?
The answer to that question was
sought by Superior Judge Murask,'
during the trial of the divorce action
Of Mrs. Mary Harron against her hus-
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
knew nothing about the incident. So

The bathroom is placed between the
two bedrooms, which is the best sort
of an arrangement with a plan such
as this one.
The bungalow is built high enough
above the ground so that good base
ment can be provided. BY making the
roof fairly fiat and by building over
hanging caves the bungalow effect IL
not lost, though the floor is not built
near the ground level. The useful
ness of the basement is increased be-
cause of the addition of an outside
entrance, which makes the basement
much more accessible from the out
side. The outside entrance is often
demanded by people who are building
their homes.

sleeping porches are becoming mors
and more popular.
The exterior Of this home is fin
ished in shingles, and ali the trim is
in white to harmonic with porch and
other exterior decorative features.
The floor plan shows five rooms, ex-
elusive Of the sleeping porch, that are
we'll arranged for convenience and
usefulness. The living room extends
across the front Of the house and
illustrates one OF the methods of OBJ
tanning good-sized room in a mar
row house that is suited particularly
for narrow, deep lot. 1t is made
bright and cheerful by the windows
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 q
wide window. In a 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 fanked on either side by bookcases
which are placed under the small win
dows. The big brick fireplace makes
this room unusually cozy and cheer
full, due to the long, narrow character
of the room.
Back Of the living room is the dining
room. Along its outside wall is a
square bay of three windows with a
buffet built in front of 1t. 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
with pantry built in the back.
One Of the greatest objections to
flats is the lack of privacy due to the
elimination of all halls. The home
shown here is arranged so that all the
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.

in northeast Siberia. Many iodine
works have been established in the
neighborhood Of Vladivostok. on the
shore of the Japanese sea, the iodine
being made from seaweed found there
In abundance. An interesting distil-

bulk Of the ingredients being violets
and iris blossoms from the Ussuri
countryside. A good deal of amber is
being collected from the beach along
the coast OF the Premorsk. and many
new salt workings have been opened
in the government OF Irkutsk and in
the Lena hinterland in the vicinity Of

TO PARENTS.


Let me diverge for once from my
policy Of addressing young people d.
rectly that | may say few words TO
fathers and mothers.
The selection of vocation is usual
ly made either by the boy himself. by
his parents, or by both.
theoretically, at least, the parent is
supposed 10 be the best adviser for his
son, because he has seen more of him
and should be able to diagnose his
ability with some degree of accuracy.
While the parent undoubtedly In
tends to advise the son for his good, 1t
is obvious that neither the father nor
the mother is infallible, and that, be.
ing human, they are likely to err and
influence their boy to his detriment.
We are all more or less swayed by
prejudice. If a father, for example,
has made a failure Of his work, he Is
likely to advise his son against 1t,
even though the latter may be adapted
to 1t. Conversely. II father has
achieved success In his vocation. he
quite naturally assumes that what he
has done we'll his boy can do equally
WELL
The parent often forgets to study
his boy, and be is quite likely to as
sumo that his son is fit for this and
unfit for that.
do not consider that the advice of
any one person, whether he is par.
ent or not, is sufficient to determine
the vocation for young man.
Composite counsel is far better than
individual opinion.
The parent should begin to study
his son when the boy has passed his
fourteenth or fifteenth year, perhaps
before; he should watch him care
fully, talk with him in friendly way,
and bring to his attention the advan.
tages and disadvantages of the sew
eral callings, especially those for
which he thinks his son is fitted.
The father should go further, and
consult with his friends, those who
come in contact with his boy, that,
from composite counsel, he may be
able to advise him more definitely and
more carefully.
To push or to force the boy into
vocation, without careful thought and
considerable study, is as wicked as 1t
is to rob him of his birthright.
Thousands upon thousands Of boys
have been started wrong because of
self-opinionated fathers, who, without
consideration, forced their sons into
vocations against their inclinations
and ability.
Many a devoted mother and over
ambitious father, wholly from self
pride and without any real regard for
their offspring, have attempted to
coerce him into some profession, when
the boy had absolutely no liking for 1t
or ability to practice 1t. They would
have their son a lawyer when the boy
would make a good business man.
They would force him to become a
teacher when he lacked the power to
impart information. They would make
business man OF a student who
loved his books more than money.
Remember, parents, that your boy,
on the threshold of life, is soon to be
his own master. and that you have no
more right to force him under your
will than you have to steal his over
coat or shoes.
The boy of today is the man of to
morrow, and what you do with him to-
day may make or break him tomor.

Many little details enter into the
makeup of house and determine the
impression that the average observer
receives in looking at 1t. The porch
on the house shown here will perhaps
cause more effect on every one than
any other exterior feature. It's rather
hard to describe Just why a thing
looks cozy, but this porch certainly
has an inviting, coy appearance. This
is probably due to the broad, low roof
and the heavy pillars at the corners Of
the porch and at each side OF the front
stairs. The heavy construction of the
porch railing between the pillars also
gives an artistic touch to the porch.
Very often too little time is spent
on the design of porches because they
are not considered important enough
to waste much time on. In many eli
mates the porch does not get very
