and it has a concrete floor to keep the
tools and machinery up from the
ground and to keep them dry to pre-
vent rusting.
The sides and ends are built in the
usual way by using a light sill and
2-by-4 studding covered with drop sid
ing or clapbOards. The roof is con-
Btructed by 2-by-4 rafters with matched
roofing boards covered with roll roof
ing. The advantage in using matched
roofing boards is to prevent the wind
from Tapping the roll roofing. Good
roofing boards will sometimes double
the lasting qualities of the roof.
Some farmers build regular repair
shop in one end or in the center. The
shop is provided with blacksmith kit
and all the necessary woodworking
tools to make small repairs on any
farm machine or implement; such
work as replacing lost bolts or broken
braces, or replacing worn parts with
new ones Is done in the winter time,
between chore periods.
But a farmer is helpless without
tools. 1t is not necessary to collect
an expensive outfit of blacksmith's,
machinist's or carpenters TOOLS but a
forge, anvil wise, drillpress, with a
small assortment Of cold chisels,
punches, hammers, wrenches and tongs,
will enable farmer to do good deal
Of blacksmith tinkering and save many
trips to town during the busy season,
when time is an object.
A few carpenters tools, such as
saws, square, couple of good heavy
hammers, with brace and bits and a
few wrenches and half dozen chisels
will give a handy farmer enough tools
10 do extensive repairing.
Farm machinery and implements
are made with standard patterns so
that repairs may be ordered for almost
apv implement manufactured. There

The frocks worn by children are the
quaintest little creations imaginable Of
velours de laine in brilliant tones or
quaint old-time cOlOrings. One pretty,
dark-haired child of six wears a prim
little cloak of dark red velOurs de laine
trimmed with two-inch bands of black
velvet in standing collar, cuffs and
band on the bottom of the coat. The
lat is of black velvet in the form of
81 small beret with a peak, and there

Ly naive than this little costume has
been seen in Paris this season.

says, when he was single man, he
slept In room in the rear of his drug
store.
Late one night, after he had gone to
bed, he heard a knock at the front
door, and arose and opened it. A man
living in the neighborhOod entered and
asked whether he might use the tele-
phone to call the doctor for his little
daughter, who was seriously i'll. The
request was granted.
About noon the next day the same
man again entered the store and asked
to use the telephone a second time.
Sure" said Keller. "By the way,
how is your little girl?"
"Oh, she's all right" the visitor re-
piled. "The doctor came and left a
prescription and she's getting along

The most charming little hats can

of five TO seven years.

When the Tongue Is Coated.

Time was when a coated tongue was
associated only with impaired diges-
tive organs, but science has now found
that many other things beside diges-
tive troubles may produce marked
changes in the appearance of the
tongue. If the base of the skull is
fractured, the tongue will acquire a
heavy coating. This fact leads to the
belief that various disturbances of the
nerves affect the appearance of the
tongue. Therefore, if your tongue is
furred, don't jump to the conclusion
that your stomach is upset; it is just
as likely that your nerves are upset by
overwork, eye-strain, lack of sleep or
the multitude of other causes that eff
feet the nerves.

door in the side to be used when pass
ing in and out and for the carrying
in of hand tools and other small farm
implements.
Farm machinery and implements
depreciate about 10 per cent a year
when they are properly housed and
kept painted. The loss from leaving
tools out in the weather is enormous.
An implement shed constructed in this
manner is great convenience in doing
repair work.
All farm machines require overhaul
ing in the winter time to put them in
thorough working condition during
the busy time in spring. A house of
this kind makes it easy to take the
machines apart and examine every
wheel and every casting, so that the
worn parts may be replaced and the
whole machine gone over with paint or
linseed oil.
This implement house has concrete

For that reason l don't like to rely on
funny psake-ups. I'd rather have an
actor who can be funny in dress suit.
Several actors have made great
regulations as comedians simply be-
cause they were unusual specimens Of
humanity, because they were remark
ably fat or remarkably tall, because
they had some very pronounced pecul-
iarity of features or because of great
ability as facial contortionists. These

1.-THE screen has many advantages
over the stage" said Mr.. Sennett his
active mind skipping to another phase
of the many-sided subject he loves to
discuss from any angle. For one
thing, on ten by fifteen foot moving
picture screen it is possible for ev-
cry person in the theater to see the
expression of an actors face more
clearly than it can be seen by those
sitting in the back Of regular play
house.
"In a closeup picture you can show
all the minutest details, the quiver of
an actors eyelash or the faintest curl
of his lip. Look at this picture of Ray |
mond Hitchcock and the dancer for |
example. In the film a closeup pic |
ture of Mr.. Hitchcock's face is shown. |
He turns slowly toward the audience
and winks 1t brought a roar of laugh
ter everywhere the film was shown. |
Just a wink But every movie fan
in the house could see his eyelash |
move and catch the expression in his
eye as clearly as if Mr.. Hitchcock was
sitting in a chair beside him. You
could not get that effect to the gallery
gods, or even to the people in the back
orchestra chairs, if Hitchcock himself
was on the stage Of regular
theater.

pertinent in the way of moving pic

makes in a good comedy the manage

This is only one way of covering the
shades. but many others will suggest
themselves to those who are desirous
Of making inexpensive shades that will
be pretty by daylight as well as an.
effective screen at night.

I there on the stage were the very actors
who had made the picture continuing
in person the action that was being
shown on the screen. Surprise is one
| of the most essential elements Of com
edy, but it fell Hat. Why? Because in
the closeup full faces that were being
shown on the screen the audience
could see clearly the subtle shades
of facial expression that were getting
| the laugh, while on the stage in per-
son their faces were merely n white
blur to all but those in the front
seats.
"Another advantage of the movies
over the stage for comedy purposes is
that the picture-maker does not have
to resort to artificial or mechanical
tricks. To be funny, a scene must
be natural the actor must seem re-
laxed and unconscious Of his audience.
If the movie director wants to show
an absent-minded butterfly hunter
walking into a waterfall, he shows a
real waterfall with a real sylvan back
ground. He doesn't have to use
painted drop and a stream Of wafer
that flows evenly from a pipe. He
uses no props, no matter how many
different scenes he may want to show
in single comedy"
Mr.. Sennett believes enthusiastically
in the movies. "There must be some
thing wonderful" he says, "abOut the
business that can develop in half a
generation into the third largest indus
try in the country" And this man who
has a genius for packing five laughs
into a situation where only one laugh
grew before feels that making people
happy, besides being a lucrative occu-
patton, is serious mission.
1--WE keep our fingers on the pulse
of the world" he told the writer So
berly. "Only the other day l received
a report from one of my agents in
Paris. He wrote me that when the
wounded soldiers come back the first
thing they ask is. Where can we get
a laugh; where can we see a funny
play; where can we see a funny mov-
ing picture! L ulySGIL nave EeCelNeu

people sometimes ask me what |
screen comedians are like outside the
studio, whether there's any truth in
the myth that those whose business it |
is to make others laugh are usually
gloomy individuals themselves. AS far |
as I've observed, film comedians are
like other people, only perhaps the |
large salaries they receive make it
easy for them to laugh in and out OF |
the studio"
And with triply hearty laugh the |

Sennett bounded out of his chair to
plunge energetically into the rehearsal
of a scene that will soon make millions
laugh.

Rlinht.kIIIed Wood Valuable.

The department of agriculture has
issued a circular to the effect that ex-
periments conducted by the forest serv-
ice of the department to determine the
value of chestnut wood that has been
blight-killed, show that it is just as
durable as healthy timber Posts, poles
and ties made from infected timber
show that, after three years use, they
are as sound as timber not infected.
Blight-killed timber, which had sea-
soned on the stump for several years,
and which had lost it's bark, resisted
decay better than healthy wood from
which the bark was not removed.

Do You crochet2

Is the tip Of your second finger Of
your left hand cut and aching from
The sharp point Of your steel GRO
chet needle? Is there a callous spot
on the second finger of your right
hand?
The crochet needle may be small,
but when it goes astray, and the point
plunges into the tip of ones finger,
Judging by the pain, it seems like a
sword thrust.
A strip of adhesive tape, placed
around each finger tip will protect
them, without interfering with the
work. Fingers from kid gloves are
nice, but if they extend beyond the
FIRST Joint of the finger they are clumsy
to work with.
