THE BUILDING OF HOMES.

The housing and pealling of prop
erty will be given more attention by
the present legislature and some
wholesome legislation may result from
the consideration of the subject
At the present time there is no
general law relative to housing ex-
eepting those that are enforcible by
the state and local health officers
II man wants to become a land
lord he should make his property
sanitary and healthful. If it does not
pay to do this it should not be rented.
Oyercrowding and the housing OF OBJ
jectionable classes in districts not in
harmony with such tenants will all be
included in bill to be offered.
When West Ottawa was laid out
there was very little order or art.
chectural taste used in the laying out
of lots or the building of houses. As
matter of fact. architects were few
and far between in those days. No
uniform distance from adjoining prop.
erty or curb lines were followed and
as result there is not street in
West Ottawa but what VIM. Steven,
son could greatly improve by moving
few houses either backward, for.
ward or sideways.
The observance Of these lines arc
not altogether intended to satisfy the
critical cye, but to promote healthfu
conditions. Crowded houses shut out
the SUNSHINE, obstruct the circulation
of air and the proper airation of the
ground surrounding the properties. A
law to give thoughtless and indiffer.
ent people rules to follow in the
building Of houses would be good
law and welcome one.

MORE TAXES.

The Illinois Municipal League has
an ambitious program outlined for
the present session Of the legislature.
Nearly every municipality is short of
funds. They always have been and al.
ways will be, They are allowed to az.
sess at the rate of Sl.20 This is not
enough to conduct an upto-date city
and provide all modern conveniences,
including hot and cold water in the
public rest rooms and ice in the sum
mer time. The League believes the
rate should be increased to $500 ana
the legislators will be urged to pass
such a measure. There Is no que.
ton but what the city authorities can
spend the money, but no such increase
should be granted unless referendum
Is provided for cities which seek such
additional funds

PARAS0L COVER is DAINTY
One Made From Cretonne or BRIGHT
Linen Ideal Trife to Keep on
Hand for Gift Purposes.

The wise needlewoman always keeps
on hand some small dainty which she
can hand out when asked for a contri-
button for q bazaar, or when some I'M
expected gift is needed. She will be
sure TO appropriate the cunning little
paraSol covers to be made from ere
tonne or bright linen. They are cut
from t~wO-Shaped pieces of the material
about 20 or % inches long, the length
of a parasol from the tips of the ribs
to the end of the ~ferrule. The pattern
is shaped so that it tapers from the
ferrnle end TO i width of six or seven
inches near the top, tapering again al
most to point. The two pieces are
bound Jgether with white or colored
tape, and a slit in the top piece is
bound with tape. Through the slit the
parasol is thrust, and the case is
snapped tightly around the lower part
of the handle.
At the ferrule end of the cover is a
rubber cork provided with q ring. The
cork end keeps the ferrule from push
ing through the end of the cover if the
parasol is to be stood on the ground,
while a nickel ring in the cork pro-
vides means for hanging up the COW
cred parasol il desired.
Lots of girls will find these handy
for travelling purposes, while for pro-
tecting the parasol when not in use
they are invaluable.

Fought With Hessians.

An ancestor of Count Won Bernstorff,
the dismissed German ambassador,
fought against America in our war for
freedom. The fact is brought out by
a passage in the souvenirs du Che
Waller de Cussy." Among the acquain-
tances made by the chevalier in 1920,
when he joined the staff of the French
embassy in Berlin, was the court
chamberlain, Count Won Bernstorff,
grandfather of the former ambassa-
dor. Countess Bernstorff," wrote De
Cussy, bears a singular fOrename,
America This was bestowed on her
because she was born in that country
during the war of independence. Her
father was in command of one Of the
regiments hired out to the English
by the elector of Hesse."

BRIGHT TONES IN PETTICOA7
New Models Shown in Great Variety
of Fabrics and In All the CoIors
Of Flowers.

Whatever may be said of the taste.
or lack of it, in the selection of weird
chromatics for street clothes, it must
be admitted that there is something
rather alluring in the petticoat made
of bright-tOned silks, writes q fashion
expert.
The new models have broken out, as
it were, in all the colors of the spring
flowers, having particular fancy for
the tulips, hyacinths and marigolds
that dispel the passing gloom of win
ter.
These petticoats are offered in such
fabrics as twO-tone taffetas. satin and
silk jersey. They are %variously trimmed
with self-founces arranged in many
different ways. A woman may select
a skirt with a fluffy, bouffant ~flounce,
or she may elect TO wear a more tail
ored effect which shows the flounce
closely plated and hanging in straight
lines.
Then there are %petticoats made of
linen and silk which are bound to be
more durable than the all-silk sort.
These, too, come in bright spring
tones, and make very good fOunda-
tons either for sports skirts oil for
the tailored suit. Some of the models
indicate alternate stripes of satin and
silk, and there are also those made of
Pompadour or Dresden designs in in
distinct blurred effects.
For wear with the evening gown
the p%etticOats are mostly made of
very soft satin in white or fiesh-pink.
The flOunces are of lace Or of the
satin, lace-trimmed The %petticoats
that are plated from waist to hem are
pretty for wear with the thin evening
gown, and also as the fundamental
garment for the fluffy negligee.
