TIMELY NOTES ON BEAUTY
SPOTS

If your lawn is larger than you can
care for properly, plan to have it Of
suitable size next year, by filling in
with thrifty. hardy growers that will
take care of themselves.
Don't neglect to drop a few seeds
of perennials in the bare places this
month for boomers next year. Seed
lings cost but little money, while plants
are expensive. Many beautiful things
can be'raised from package Of mixed
seeds of perennials.
Now is good time to plan changes
in the border and the. flower garden, as
one can see the mistakes in planting
the tall growers in front of the low
ones; in grouping Unmatched plants
and mixing inharmonious colors. Keep
note book and pencil in hand.
In arranging the home lot, whether
for fruit, shade or ornament, plant the
tallest growers well to the rear, grad
ing down to the lowest or creeping
things. letting the rows run east to
west, that all may have the sunshine.
They can thus be seen to the best adj
vantage, and prove joy to the be-
holder.

an excellent residence design for the
person who appreciates bungalow ar

is designed to have it's longest dimen-
sion on the street. 1t would be most
economically placed on a corner lot
having width approximately one-half
Of its length. In this position the
building has very pleasing appear
ance on either of the streets. 1t Is
rectangular in plan, being broken from
the regular shape only by the two
small bays in the front wall. The ga

slope, with the cornice directly above

it furnishes no shade for the window.
Most delightful awnings can be made
with very little trouble by mailing
strips of lath together in square and
fastening them to the top of the win
dow, letting them slant downward in
front on the angle Of the ordinary cloth
awning. Support them by braces run
uing from window frame to their out
side edge. Cover them with coarse
wire netting.
Plant quick-growing vines at the
ends of the window boxes, and train
these up the strings until they can take
hold of the netting that covers the
framework of the awning.
In short time you will have all the
shade you need and your window will
be as attractive to the eye, from out
side, as it is pleasant to the occupant
Of the room.
The good old nasturtium makes an
excellent veranda box plant, because
it will droop if allowed to, and will at
the same time, cover the surface of
the box with its pleasing foliage and
richly colored flower. The petunia is
another most excellent plant for this
purpose, because of its combination
habit of upright and dropping growth
and its profuse Towering. Candytuft,
lobelia, and sweet alyssum are all
free-fowering plants of decided droop-
ing habit, and can be made very effec-
tive as an edging Of these boxes.
If one does not care to make use of
upward growing vines as a screen,
tall plants with luxuriant foliage, like
the Gamma can be used instead with
very satisfactory results.
The children will take great delight
in growing plants from seed and should
be given boxes of their own in which
to conduct their experiments.

tirely around the inclosed space, there
is built-in seat. There is a large
window In the center of the forward
wall of the nook. A colOnnade separates
the living room from the dining room,
which completes the group. The din
ing room also has three-window bay
in the outer wall and buffet is placed
against the center Of the wall opposite.
A broad seat is built into the bay, add
ing the final touch to the scheme.
French doors lead back from the
dining room into the breakfast room.
The outer walls Of this room are prac-
tically all glazed, which establishes
this as one of the most pleasant fea-
lures of the house. In the corner of
the house adjacent to the breakfast
room is grouped the rear entry, the
kitchen and, near the center, the pam
try. The arrangement is ideal. The
refrigerator is placed in the entry and
a door is built in the wall for icing it
from the rear porch. Across the wall
opposite the entrance there is shelf
from the chimney to the side wall.
This shelf is high enough so that this
refrigerator sets under it. The most
interesting detail of this arrangement
is the location of the serving pantry.
This pantry connects the kitchen with
the dining room. There is a cased
opening from it into the kitchen and
a swinging door into the dining room.
A cupboard occupies the wall toward
the rear of the building. A slide is
provided which extends out under the
window in the hall between the pan
try and the breakfast porch.
The first floor bedrooms are ar
ranged according to the best modern
practice, which places them side by
side with a connecting hall. Each
bedroom closet Is fitted with shelf
and rail all around for clothes hooks.
Most contractors and builders will sug-
gest that an iron pipe or wood rod be
placed horizontally across the closet
jsist under the shelf, so that clothes
placed on hangers may be hung there,
greatly increasing the capacity of the
closet and keeping the clothes In
much better condition than II they
were hung against the wall.
The second floor is reached from the
living room, the stair door being d.
rectly in front of the vestibule.. The
stairs lead to the sewing room on the
second floor which connects with an
open hall leading to the bedrooms and
toilet. There is linen closet in this
hall handy to the two bedrooms. These
bedrooms are provided with closets
and in the larger one there is also a
shelf just behind the door as it swings
open. The statement has been made
that there is practically no outside
exposure on the walls of the second
floor rooms. This is clearly indicated
on the plan, which shows that there Ia
plenty Of storage space provided I'M
der the roof along both sides Of the
building. These spaces are reached
from the sewing room and from the
sleeping porch.

addition, there is dormer on one side

other side of the roof for toilet,

The foundation walls of the house
are Of concrete up to grade and of
face brick to the stills. A belt of wide
rough clapbOards girts the structure
between the brick and the window

we haven't, we cannot. Products on
the farm are worth nothing If they
cannot find markeI. am convinced
that the most important governmental
work is in the improvement Of the
roads. In this day of motor trucks
it is much easier to haul products to
the cities or to railroad terminals than
it was few years ago, but we must
have good roads to do it. There is not
the slightest doubt that good roads
many times over pay for themselves.
They are fundamental economic ne
cessity.
1.-THE initial outlay in the building of
good roads may seem large, but it Is
small in comparison with the benefits
that accrue. In Alaska we have ap-
proximately 900 miles of improved
roads, varying from the ordinary coun-
try dirt road to the best kind of ma
cadam. In Nome there is stretch
of road over which in the summer
time thousands Of tons of products are

in the use of simple open rafter cor

cial ornamentation feature is the small

above the front porch. This balcony
Is supported by three cantilever beams
which are securely anchored to the

PLANT JAPANESE LILY IN FALL

While almost all lilies do better If
planted in the fall, there are some va
rieties, notably the Japanese, which
do not reach this country until the
ground is frozen. However, they can
be planted even in December If you
prepare the bed as follows:
Dig the bed deep (two feet) and ma
nure heavily, using well rotted manure,
and mix thoroughly. When the bed is
ready, cover it with foot or two of
fresh manure. This win keep the
ground from freezing. Lily bulbs de-
teriorate when kept out Of the soil.
Scrape up the road dust and apply
about the roots of your plants, and
help keep the moisture In the soil.

POOR ROADS ARE EXPENSIVE
Mistaken Idea That improved High
ways Are Solely for Benefit Of
Automobile Owners.

Poor roads are very expensive things
for country communities. The farmer
who thinks that improved highways
are mainly for the benefit Of those who
drive automobiles should reflect on
the results of recent investigation by
the department of agriculture, which
finds that the cost Of hauling farm
produce over ordinary country roads
is % cents ton mile, whereas over
hard-surfaced roads it is only 10 cents.

GERMANY READY
 ID TALK PEACE.
Will Communicate With J.
 s. in Endeav0r to Pre- , vent Hosti|ities Over the
 Submarine Warfare.

Washington, Feb. 1.-Germany Is understood here to have addressed 10 the United States a communication suggesting that the two governments discuss ways and means of preventing actual war between them. While in- formation regarding the channel through which the communication was addressed is lacking it is probable it is being forwarded by the government of Switzerland. .r
 Germany is understood to have made it clear that although diplo- matic relations have been broken she greatly desires that peace be main tained. Preliminary outlines regard ing the communication do not indl- cate that it carries with 1t any. sug gestion that Germany may modify her submarine warfare.
 However, the whole communication is said clearly to invite this govern ment to make suggestions regarding steps, it takes might prevent war.
 In connection with the coming comm unication information obtained here is to the effect that while Ger many was arranging for her new cam paign of unrestricted submarine war fare certain German diplomats in various parts of the world were in- formed that while military necessity" prevented the granting of period in which neutrals might adjust their maritime interests, every care would be exercised so that neutral passenger carrying ships would not be subjected to nnwarned torpedo attacks.
