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.
Being out in the country there is
no sidewalk or street grade to be fol-
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 25x28 feet, getting
the corners square, and running the
lines level and marking the height of
the wall at each corner. With tran
| sit this would not take long, but you
NAV need to use a level and square

Willy Fox Climbed Tree to Eluds

Escape Uninjured.


One of the slyest foxes that has
been liberated by the Speakman hunt
in many years led Pennsylvanians
chase recently. The fox kept the
huntsmen going for half an hour
when they suddenly lost him. They
found a tree under which the bounds
were baying and cavorting. but de
spite a diligent search being made
no trace could be found of the fox.
The huntsmen were about to turn
back when one of their number hap
pened to cast his eyes up in the
tree, and there on one of the limbs
sat the willy fox. Recovering from
their amazement, straws were drawn
to determine who should climb the
tree. It fell to the lot of William
Speakman. Being an expert climb
er Speakman was soon out on the
branches, and giving the limb Wig
orous shake. Reynard tumbled off.
Although he fell distance of 30
feet he was not injured IN the least.
He gave the dogs another lively chase

france Needs Her orphans.

The reason why you can't adopt a
French war orphan and bring it into
your own home in America is because
France needs all her babies to make
up for war losses, according to NJ.
Stephane Lauzanne, editor of LIE Ma
tin of Paris. The great French editor
explains that need in an interview in
Peoples Home Journal.
Our most precious possession when
the war ends will be human beings.
Our sturdy men will have much work
to do. Our wounded, mutilated SOL
diers will have their work to do, too,
for they must be educated to follow
new trades. Our women will have
their full share of occupation. And
our children are our future citizens.
'If we send them to America they
would learn to love America as their
own country. They would be weaned
from France. We cannot afford that.
We must keep them with us. Think of
our loss in human life in this warV'

House That Was Born Barn.

A barn, it seems, is rather an easy
thing to turn into a human habftatfon.
In this case the transformation was
made some years ago, and the com
bined home and studio has been occu-
pied in turn by two well-known paint
ers. both of them women, whose occu-
pancy has given it the real but in
tangible atmosphere of a place that
has been lived in. Only the Informed

might have been built for a studio,

from the barn might have been con-

half hundred human skeletons, the

The skeletons were of both adults
and children, one of them being less
than two feet tall. 1t had on a dress
the bottom of which was trimmed with
lace. Saddles and spurs were scat
