the coldest weather. This is due to the compact character of the design.
 The floor plans show a very attrac- tive and cozy arrangement A par ticular feature of the first floor is the position of the fireplace, which is To- cated in the wall between the living room and the dining room. It thus oc- cupies very little space and. as it eliminates the necessity of construct ing one wall, 1t cuts the cost of con struction, which is in keeping with the general economical plan after which this house is built Small cased openings are placed on either side of the fireplace to connect the living room and the dining room.
 Everyone is fond of a cozy room that is different from the ordinary, and the living room in this design is

 The square-built house is one of the best plans for general efficiency in a cold climate. While many peo- pie prefer to have various little wings and alcoves that extend out from the plan, the addition of these increases the outside wall space to a large de- gree and consequently makes the house much harder to heat than it would be if it were built with square corners.
 It is also possible to get the most room for given cost if the outside lines arc square. No space is wasted and the floor room will be found to be unusually large even when the house is built on rather small lot.
 Many different and attractive ways of finishing both the exterior and the interior can be found in houses built

ous that he never did make any money as long as he worked He lost near ly everything except his wife
 Then he got to playing at farming, and his mules and horses got to mak- ing money for him and his land grew Tn value. It got so valuable that a man came along with a checkbook and ran him off. Then he moved into town, and it looked like he was go- ing to dry rot and be made fit for the boneyard until he took to playing again. He started his Garden of Eden, and today he is friskier than ever.
 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 Eyes extended palm and another is being stamped to death by Adam, while the devil ap- pears overhead on limb, with spear poised and malevolent eyes glaring at this worlds first lovers.
 MT. Dinsmoor confesses that they were made with cement and 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. erally passed in 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 all-seeing eye on high cement pole which winks electrically at night as if it were a solemn warn ing to all who look at it.
 The other has to do with the nrin. cipal figures of the garden, which are mounted in trees re-enforced by gas pipes. Very often when a curious crowd gathers outside and gapes at the creations Mir. Dinsmoor. who loves joke. will slip to the base. ment. Presently the angel with the flaming sword. perched high in a ce. ment tree, will speak sotto voce;
 Cain, Cain. you son of a gun, where is Abel?"
 To this unangelic query Cain will give the twentieth century reply:
 Search me, kid. I'll be darned if I know"
 Whereupon the devil from his dig. niiied position will bawl out:
 T should worry"
 This generally makes the crowd move on. especially if it's just growing dark and the weird conversation is accompanied by the winking of the all-seeing eye.

generally more satisfactory to place more private and will consequently be used more than it will If placed in the front, where everyone on the street can see into it. Five windows are placed along the wall of the din ing room, so that it will be almost as bright and sunny as the sun porch.
 The kitchen is small and compact, and is arranged so as to minimize the labor connected with it's operation. A small pantry is placed in the back and adds to the usefulness of the general plan.
 for four bedrooms, bathroom, and a sleeping porch. There is also a little alcove built into one of the bay win dows at the front corner that can be used for sewing room. A central hall Is included that makes all the rooms readily accessible without going through any of the other rooms to get to them. Plenty of closet space is provided, as each bedroom has a closet and there is also one in the bathroom and one in the hall. Addi- tional storage space can be secured in the attic, which is lighted by a dormer window.
 The window seats in the two bays at the front corners of the house on this floor are very attractive fea- ture of this pleasing, economical house design.

Locomotive Is Blamed.

Locomotives. it has been proved, are the largest contributing cause to for est fires. An investigation recently made along the White mountain and southern Appalachian mountain ranges shows that of 509 fires occurring in 1914, 319 were due to sparks from the smokestacks of locomotives.
 In the state of Virginia 90 per cent of the fires were traced to locomo- tives. Out of PIP fires 227 were start ed by engine sparks.
 The fact becomes one of vital in- terest to the federal authorities since the loss in the national forest reserves of the West alone amounted to $677,- 900 in 1914. This represented among other things the destruction of 340,- 000,000 feet of merchantable timber. injury to private lands, destruction of young trees, etc.

inches long and inches wide. An ordinary soap box can be used for this by cutting down the size to about 5 inches high and knocking out one side. The padding for the bottom of the chariot may be made of burlap. Tack this around the inside of the chariot and place the whole thing on four roll CTS. Place a soap dish on one side and a little rack for the scrubbing brush on the opposite side. This con- trivance, it is estimated, costs about 47 cents.

in this way, as can be seen by study ing the perspective view and the floor plans of this design. The general outline of the house shows a compact, sensible plan, but there are many decorative features that make this house very distinctive and original.
 For instance, the method of con- structing the bay windows at the two front corners of the house on the sec ond floor, with their attractive brackets, is most pleasing and deco rative method of finishing these cor ners. Small hip roofs are placed over each of these bays and also over the dormer facing the front of the house. The combination of these with the larger hip roof covering the house proper makes a pleasant roof design.
 This house is set we'll above grade on a concrete foundation-a type of construction that is usual in the cool or climates This makes it possible

 In the center of the Garden of Eden in the midst of all this ghostly array of cement creations, is MT. Dinsmoor' s cabin home, a log house. built of stone from native lodges. One of the two porches is ornamented with ce- ment beer bottles and jugs and mugs as sort of merry jibe at Kansas pro- hibition laws. One of the many in laid tables in the cabin home is small one which contains 162 pieces of wood Over the door in the living room is what the old gentleman calls a 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 13O stone sermons. It took over 431s tons, or 130 sacks, of cement to make them, and the cost so far has been over 1000. But even at that Mir 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- tion, how one animal preys on an other down to the little worm There are eight cement trees from 30 to 40 feet high lighted with 20 electric lights For the grape arbor, flag, devil and rambling rose to stand on there are B trees from to 20 feet high.
 It all seems to represent a lot of hard work. But Mir. Dinsmoor is a philosopher. It wasn't work, he says, but play. Work. according to hls theory, is doing something you don't like to do He worked for 50 years. Then he went to playing. He found when he fed pigs for play they got fat; if he fed them for profit he fed too much, and they died. He figured
