BY WILLIAM A. RADFoRD.

There car be no denying the fact
that the bungalow occupies an impor-
tnnt place among the several types of
buildings now being used for residence
purposes. The number of homes which
have been built after this type is a suf-
fcient indication of it's usefulness.
Here We give the word, bungalow, a
liberal meaning, since in its literal
n 1t would hardly apply to a mod
ern American home, no matter how
simple. If we take the word to mean
a one-story house, modern in its design
and appointments and so constructed
that it will appear "close to the
ground" the foregoing statement
stands correct.
The bungalow, as we have broadly
defined it, is perhaps the most widely
used building type, with respect TO the
varying density of population, of all
building types. The bungalow is found
in the smallest of villages as well as in
the outlying parts of the largest cities.
Its appeal is universal because it is a
type which may be made thoroughly
expressive of a popular idea. Every
n likes the coziness which is best
expressed in this style. Everyone
likes the homelike atmosphere which is
In the house itself even before the
decorating is done. 1t is easy to make

REGULAR FEEDING FOR CALF
Substitute Skim Milk as Soon as Prac-
tieabIe and Continue IL for at
Least Six Months.

All calves should be fed regularly
very young calves should be fed three
times q day.
At first, the calf is fed whole milk,
the quantity being gradually In
creased. Skim milk is substituted as
soon as practicable, and is continued
until the calf is six months old.
Ordinarily, the maximum quantity
of skim milk that can be fed economi-
cally is 20 pounds b day.
When the calf Is two weeks old,
grain and fresh, clean hay should be
increased as the appetites Of the
calves demand.

Five dollars is a good big price for
seed corn, so big that the most Of us
will not pay 1t. But come to figure 1t
down to acres 1t does not sound so
large. Counting one bushel will plant
seven acres, the cost is only " cents.
Seed oats cost at least so cents a

been cleaned. Counting two and one

To get rid of drones, which may be-

Perforated zinc is the usual material
used, the perforations being large

Sometimes the frames are shaken In

FOR CENSORSHIP OF MOVIES
Bill to Prevent Showing of Uncensored

Bill to Prevent Showing Of Uncensored
Films May be Presented to Legislature
Moving picture censorship in Della
ware is to come before the Legisla-
ture at this session, according to pres
ent plans. 1t was understood the ini-
tial move would be made at an execu-
tive meeting of the State Federation
of Women's Clubs, which, it is under
stood, will consider the matter of hav-
ing bill drawn Miss Emily P.
Bissell of Wilmington. who is one of
the executive members of the State
Federation, went to the meeting in
Milford prepared to request the meet
ing to consider this subject.
The plan as now outlined is not to
have board of censors in Delaware,
but to prohibit the showing of any
pictures in the State that do not hear
the seal Of the censors of either Penn
sylvania or Maryland. If n picture
comes to Delaware uncensored, it will
be necessary, before showing it in the
State, to send it to Pennsylvania and
have it censored there. the Pennsyl-
vania charge being 81 for each pic
ture passed upon.
If the Federation executive approve
this idea, it is likely the matter will
be taken up with the moving picture
men before the bill is presented to the
Legislature. The State has been pretty
well canvassed on the matter, and it
has been learned that, while few pic
lures come to Wilmington uncensored
in other States, many uncensored pic
lures are shown in dowu-State towns,
which in some instances do not have
the chance to make their own selec-
tions, but being en- circuits, have to
take the pictures sent them.
Other matters coming before the
State Federation executive meeting
at Milford last week included the
proposed new Child Labor law, the
amendments to the Ten-Hour law for
women, increased appropriation for
the State tuberculosis Commission and
the proposed bill to establish a home
for feeble-minded in the State.

really has another twenty-five per
cent to leave family or depend

drafted with the poor but they have
the means of life left for their
dependents. Then unless the rich
are reduced to penury the burden is
not equally borne. The laws of to-
