TENANT HOUSE ON
FARM KEEPS HELP
Found to Be Real Solution of
Labor Problem.
HERE is PRACTICAL DESIGN
Plans Call for One-Story Building,

and Bathroom.
BY WILLIAM A. RADFoRD.

Mr. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building, for the readers of this
paper. On account of his wide experience
as Editor Author and Manufacturer, he
is, without doubt, the highest authority
on all these subjects. Address all inquiries
to William A. Radford, No. 1927 Prairie
avenue, Chicago, ILL.,, and only enclose
three-cent stamp for reply.
1t is surprising how manp people
are discovering this year that what
they need is a farm tenant house. 1t
is a fact that the farm tenant house
is the only real solution of the farm
labor problem, for it is the depend
able married man who makes the best
help, and he is attracted quite as much
by comfortable and attractive living
conditions for his family and himself
as by extra wages. The little RAM
Shackle cabins which in some places
have served to house the "hired man"

comfortable. New tenant houses are
being put up, and they are relieving

room, good-sized kitchen, two nice
bedrooms, and a convenient bathroom.
The basement is excavated for base
ment heating plant .(pipeless furnace)
and laundry. A special section for the
cold storage of fruits and vegetables
is excavated under the front porch.
One of the advantages Of the pipeless
or one-register furnace is that it
doesn't heat the cellar but delivers all
of the heat up into the living rooms
of the house. This being so, prac-
tfcalIy any part Of this farmhouse
basement can be used for storing po-
tatoes, apples, etc.
There is some attic space above for
storage, or possibly for extra sleep
ing space.
IF we were called to build this house
or a similar one, what would be the
right way to begin? This would de-
pend a little on the conditions, but in
most cases the first step is to stake
out the lot for excavation.

if needed for they will be used later
for headers and under and beside win
/dcws and doors and at corners. Notice
the size of the windows and cut them
long enough for two headers, or to go
up at the side. A 10 or 16-foot stick
makes three.
The roof boards can be used and
may be cut as needed. The cellar win
dows are above the forms and at the
door the boards can run across and
need not be cut. Some short pieces
will be used in the cellarway and I'M

of these on end and so save cutting.
There will no doubt be some lumber
used in the FORMS which cannot be
used later, but by a little care and
thought this can be made small item.
Some of the boards can be used in the
coal bin, for bridging, for the forms
for the piers and chimney base, and in
other places and save cutting long
boards.

We must not cut these joists, but

The wall being low, the studs for

Rowdy, and Tag wagged his tail.
IF you are the captain In chief, or

ITS this way" said Rowdy. 'We
are dogs supposed to be bright and
clever. We belong to the famous Aire-
dale family, and we are living up to
our family name.
'sI've heard of some cats who did
some sort of similar work and were
quite fine, but they said they were
nothing compared to US, and so you
can see what a high reputation we
have to live up to-"
Il hope it isn't too high for me-"
said Tag.
"Oh, no." said Rowdy. "Do your
best try to learn all you can, be brave,
fearless and loyal, and you'll be all
right. It's as much as any dog, can
do. But every dog should do it."
''When are you going to begin ex-
planning everything to me?" asked
Tag.
: whenever you WISH" said Rowdy,
who was eager to begin at once, for he
loved his work and was very proud
Of it.
I'D like to hear about it right
away" said Tag.
"Our work. commenced Rowdy, ''is
to guard the water line all along these
parts, for people in the big cities near
by and in the towns draw their water
from here. We want to see that the

no sidewalk or street grade to be foi-
lowed or measured from. The owner
will tell where he wants it and the
drawing shows how high it is to be
above the ground.
Having the house face the east, lay
out the rectangle 25x2S feet, getting
the corners square, and running the
lines level and marking the height of
the wall at each corner. With a tram
sit this would not take long, but you
may need to use a level and square
the lines by the OSLO rule.
Next set out the lines for the front
porch, as this is to be dug out like
the cellar, which seems to be a good
idea, as it gives more room.
For this, run a line 6 feet from the
front line and make it 3 feet shorter
at each end. Then there is the cellar
way at the rear. The pier is out feet
from the wall and it is 10 feet from
this to the farther wall For the other
measurements one may scale the draw
ing and get IL feet from the corner
of the wall to the wall of cellar way.
Establ shng the Lines.
Before the excavation is begun it
will be necessary to drive a stake
back each way from the corners so
they will not be disturbed. And as
you will want mere lines, for the in
side of the walls and for the footings
and perhaps a center line, it will be
best to drive two stakes and put
board on them to hold these lines.
You may as well get these boards
level and the same height SO that the
lines will serve as guides for the faces
Of the walls and also for the height
and depth.
While the cellar is being dug you
will want to get some material on to
the job for the forms for the concrete
wall, and material for the wall.
We will suppose that the wall forms
are to begin at the bottom and are to
be on both sides of the wall. Let us
see what we can use of the stuff for
the house without hurting it. The

And there have been some foolish and
wicked people who have tried to put
things in the water to make folks sick"
whatever would they do that f0r?"
asked Tag.
cts beyond me to- understand it,"
said Rowdy. 'But still there have
been such people, and until they can
be found out, we have to be careful
and guard the water for the many,
many fine people. A few bad people
shouldn't hurt lots of splendid people,
you know"
'sWhat would they do to the water?"
asked Tag.
'They might put something in it
which would make folks sick-not seri-
ously sick, but annoyingly SICK"
'sWhat are we to do about it?" asked
Tag.
'When we see strengthening peo-
pie who are throwing things in the
water, when they know this water is
for drinking purposes, we are to bark
as loudly as we can, and if the people
seem to be doing any harm, we must
catch hold of their cOat-tails and give
them a good dose of fright.
''But when we bark, the guards, who
are supposed to look after the drinking
water, come out and see what the peo-
pie are up to. But we Save the time
of the men who have many other
things to do.
They've said we made fine guards,
or patrols, and g patrol dog is equal
to patrol guard or a policeman or
anyone who looks after the safety of

'What an honor, to belong to the
Dogs Patrol Guard!" said Tag.
Il knew you'd feel that way about
it." said Rowdy. cts nice to be able
to help a lot in the world. And we
don't have to work all the time. We
take turns. Just as though we worked
in offices and were through at five or
six o'clock at night. We have our
working hours, our eating hours, our
sleeping hours and our playing hours
"Fine," said Tag, "and Tn glad in
deed, they brought me here"
''You looked like a nice dog when I
saw you," said Rowdy.
So both dogs became very friendly,
and all of the forty dogs who guard
ed this body Of drinking water, known
as an aqueduct, were as intelligent
as any people could be about their
work.
They saved time for others who
needed it for other purposes, and they
kept the water safe for the people, I'M

who had thought it was smart to make
others sick, was past. And every dog

Avenue and Franklin streets, Balti-
more is the first one to be established
in Maryland. In these war times,
when the question of getting domestic
help is such a grave one, the cafe
terra offers the answers to the problem
where to get walters, at least.
This particular cafeteria is de-
lightful place, charmingly decorated
in greys and natural effects. Upon
each one of the many little tables
there are always flowers.
The patrons enter to the right and
going down the line'', carry their
own trays and select what they de-
sire from the tables filled with all
sorts of alluring hot or cold edibles.
The only difficulty is that the array
is 50 tempting that if one IS on diet
to reduce it is hard to get away with
out selecting too much.
Miss Ray Brandenburg who is the
presiding genius of this cafeteria and
who is responsible for its existence
has been in charge since the opening.
She has had extensive experience in
the work, and ranks high as a dom
este science expert. Her first ex-
perience with this work was about six
years ago when she organized the
cafeteria in the Y.W.C.A. in Oklaho-
ma City; from there. she went to the
National Training School N. Y. City
where took special course domestic
science and following this she was for
two years at the Y. w. C. A. cafeteria
in Oakland, California.
She also conducted cafeteria in Gal

Coal Is Scarce.

Last winter coal famine is still
fresh in mind, and 4he prospect for
the Coming winter is little, it any
better, than that Ct the last. wood is
going to waste in the woods, and the
Fuel Administrator is calling upon
all those living in rural distrlc is,
within reach of wood supplies, to
provide wood for their winter use,
and save coal. Wood cut before No
vember 1st, will be sufficiently
seasoned to burn this winter.
Now is the time to get busy on the
wood proposition for the coming
winter. Certainly every farmer
should make himself independent o
any coal shortage, and would be sure
of receiving a good price for any sur
plus wood that he might have to sell.
Those not on farms, but living in
rural sections, will find it decidedly to
their advantage, to secure a supply
of fire. wood in place of coal they
probably will not be able to procure.
When cold weather comes, it will be
too late to secure seasoned wood,
suitable for winter use.
The heat problem is one that must
be solved within the next few weeks;
and this is the time when there is a
little let-up in the pressure OF farm
work, to look after this important
matter.
After cutting supply for personal
use, the farmer should cut an equal
amount, to help out those who have
no wood of their own. He will be
we'll repaid for his time, and will be
doing public service in helping to
keep the home fires burning"

mans Into Full Retreat.
British Move Their Supplies Over
Routes Recently Evacuated
by the Germans.

Paris-Beaten in the north by the

the Germans are now in full retreat
on the front from Ypres to Rheims.
Though he has been opposing the al.
lied advance by throwing In their way
some Of his divisions of rapidly depict
ing reserves, Ludendorff has nowhere
been able to stay the progress of the
allies.
Indication is furnished of the small
hope he entertains of returning to
positions now overrun by the allied
forces by the action of his troops in
burning and destroying their vast sup
ply depots and towns and villages on
his march eastward. Ham, Chauny,
Tergnier and La Fere are burning and
there are continual explosions of en-
emy muniton dumps.
The ground over which our forces
are advancing Is strewn with debris OF
every nature. German cOrpses litter
the fields which We're the scenes of
sanguinary combats in which the
TOmmies, pOilus and doughboys
showed themselves superior to the
German. Machine guns are found by
thousands, abandoned by the retreat
ing enemy, and engineering imple-
ments, broken down enemy tanks
and big guns have Obstructed the
roads over which the transports of the
allies must pass.
This proves that the enemy has been
forced to retire before determined
adversary and has been So hampered
by the swift advance Of the allies that
he has not had time to carry out
methodical retreat. Other signs also
abound which give the lie to the Ger
man bulletins.
1t Is highly significant that the rail-
roads, which retreating foe would
have found to his interest to destroy,
are almost intact. SO little damage
has been done to them that over one
stretch of line British trains have fol.
lowed closely the advancing infantry.

homes of refugees have been destroy
