Exterior Should Be IDENTIFIED.

The exterior Of the small house may
be either picturesque or formal but II
should be simple and dignified In either
case. Any material may be used, as
stone, brick, or wood, but once chosen,
1t should be adhered to. 1t is always
right to use local materials, but we
need not use more than one kind sim
ply because several kinds are at hand.
The surfaces in small work are never
large enough for mixtures of materials.
So also with the design of the house.
The main lines ought not to be broken
up with protruding bays, unusual an
giles In the plan, absurdly large pOrches,
or a complex system of roofs. Inge-
nuity Is always a poor substitute for
simplicity and good proportion. For
interest, confine yourself to a simple
element, like the front door, which may
be played with little.

BACKYARD GARDENING PAYS
Cleveland Has Tried Plan for Five
Years to Its Profit, and Many other
Cities Have Taken Up the Idea.

"a vegetable garden for every home,
La the new slogan in Ontario, and 1t
is a slogan worth while. The provin-
cial government has launched sys-
tematic campaign for backyard agri-
culture, and it proposes to show every
householder how he may, by domestic
farming, combat the increasing cost of
living and the growing scarcity of food
stuffs, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
One of the aims Of the Ontario gov
eminent is, of course, so to increase
the available food supply at home as
to enable the contribution Of still more
to the hard-pressed mOtherland. But
the plan must be broader in its results.
Backyard gardening pays. Cleveland
has tried it, these five years past, to
its profit, and scores Of other cities
have taken up the idea. The earth Is
the source of wealth. The man who
cultivates a plot of ground contributes
to the welfare of all mankind.
The new Canadian movement owes
it's origin to the stress of war. 1t Is
the kind Of movement which perpetu-
ates itself. The man, the woman or
the child who once knows the delight
Of growing things is always the better
for it, and so is his community. This
country can follow with profit the ex-
ample in intensive cultivation which
Ontario Is to furnish.

Traffic Posts Artistic.

The most progressive development In
the post which stands at the intersec-
ton of two streets and warns the au-
toist to go to the Right" has been
made by the little city of Modesto, Cal.
The traffic posts in Modesto are being
made artistic and ornamental, conceal
ing their unitarian purpose as far as
possible. Ts are built of concrete,
cast in a decorative mold, and topped
by a concrete basket, which holds
ferns or Towering plants. Just below
the basket and set In the thickness OF
the post is the red lamp which warns
drivers at night.

II City Government 10 Not What 1t
Should BE There Are Other Rene
dies, It Is Urged.

1t is easy to fall into habit of
petty criticism and detraction either of
individuals or institutions. In the one
case, when directed by one person
against another 1t is commonly and
rightfully classed as malicious gossip
or SANDER. In the other case it Is
sometimes loftily designated as an exhi-
bition of public spirit. Both are alike,
q shame and disgrace to the perpetra-
tors, an evil that should be suppressed,
says the Indianapolis Star.
Men, naturally enterprising, who, I'M
der favorable circumstances, would
push the interests of the community
are deferred by the feeling that they
would meet with criticism and have
no encouragement, and saying to them
selves whats the use?" remain pas
sive, leaving other cities to go forward
where theirs makes no Roadway or goes
back. Outside capitalists who hear
the echoes of this detraction go else
where with their factories and shops.
If a city government is not what 1t
should be, there are formal and order
ly means of reforming 1t. If police
force is inefficient, remedy Is posi-
BILE without giving to the world the i'm
preston that crime Is rampant and
life unsafe there by day or night. If
public service corporations do not act
squarely end fairly by the people,
there are legitimate remedies for such
conditions. If any public officer
makes mistakes, there are other ways
of reaching him than by branding him
as q rascal of the blacklist dye. Men
in public office, being human, have
been known to be open to friendly re-
rnonstrance.
But the common scold, either In pri-
vate or public, never accomplishes
good.
