Much of the bleakness Of the winter
landscape may be removed by the use
of evergreens near the house.
The home-builder may we'll consider
this point when planning the layout OF
his grounds. 1t is comparatively easy
to secure pleasing landscape effects
during the season of green leaves and
buds and blossoms; but when deprived
Of these the problem becomes more
difficult.
Evergreen hedges are possible, and
an occasional evergreen tree growing

of breaking the sometimes monotonous
evenness and of adding touch Of
feathery lightness to the aspect of the
whole scene.

QAsVS
PROFIT IN GOOD HOUSING
Coal Companies Of Pennsylvania Build
Modern Dwellings and Rent
Them to Miners.

AT first glance there might not seem
to be a close connection between good
housing and coal mining. but the fact
remains that able business men who
are handling the anthracite industry
have discovered that there is q con.
nection and that 1t pays them. as pro-
ducers Of anthracite, to see that their
employees are sheltered in .aodern
dwellings. So strongly convinced are
they Of this fact that the hard coal
region now contains some OF the best
examples OF good housing in the coun-
try in the shape OF villages planned
and erected by the coal companies
themselves and rented to mine en-
ployees.
Any big hard coal company will do
to illustrate the Improvement in
housing-Lehigh. Reading or Susque-
hanna. The upper coal fields naturally
take pride in the progress made by
their biggest producer, the Lackawan-
ma. and that company's achievements
are in the fullest sense typical of what
has been done.
For example, the Lackawanna has
built what is known as Concrete
City" The houses are virtually all
concrete, save for doors and windows.
An empty house can be flushed from
ceiling to cellar with hose without
damage. There is plenty of light and
air, and particular attention has been
paid to bathing facilities, which are so
important in the lives of coal miners.
Concrete City has been made a dis
tmctive community, with regular COM
munity centers like Fairgrounds, and
the miners children have a pleasure
resort with wading pools and other ap-
purtenances belonging to well-managed
Fairgrounds.
