Omen Spaces Important.

Good housing for the small com
munity means much more than for the
great city. because it is possible to
have far better standards. And a
small city has no excuse-even II a
great one pretends to have-for areas
in which grass cannot grow or gardens
flourish because of smoke and gases.
The surroundings Of houses may be
made attractive. Shrubs and flowers
may take the place Of expensive con.
struction If good taste Is used in theil
selection and location.
And one Of the great features al
most entirely neglected in smaller
places is one of the most important.
Houses may be so arranged as to leave
free open spaces for the play Of chill
dren. Many cities, to be sure, have
parks or a park, but a city is all too
likely to feel content with itself If 1t
has one or two such places beautiful
ly kept and well fitted to please the
eye of gr0wn-ups on a sedate Sunday
afternoon walk. Far more important
is 1t to have the houses in every small
area of a few blocks so planned as to
leave space for games and other pub

CHOICE OF BUT TEN STATES.

New York state had no part In the election OF
the first president of the United States. For some
years follOwing the establishment Of the federal
government, the legislatures of most Of the states
chose the presidential electors, the people voting
for them only indirectly. their choice being ex.
pressed by their votes for Legislators. A deadlock
between the senate and the assembly prevented
the selection of electors from New York state.
Rhode Island and North Carolina had not yet
ratified the Constitution, so Washington was
elected the first time by the votes of only ten Of
the IS states.
New York city was the scene OF the first inaugu.
ration, however. Washington took the oath on
the porticO of Federal hall, on the present site Of
the subtrensury. at Wall and Nassau streets. April
30, 1889. Immediately following this ceremony he
retired within the building and delivered an ad.
dress to congress, which met in Federal hall In
those days. John Adams, the second president,
also addressed congress In person, but Jefferson
broke the custom which President Wilson has re-
vived. Jefferson stigmatized that form of address
as mOnarchical and put his message in writing
New York Sun.

Los Angeles Has Set Other Places
Good Example In Getting Rid Of
lts UnsightIy Bilboards. .

They still do things effectively in the
golden West, where in other days they
adopted the custom of shooting first
and talking afterward.
In Los Angeles. where civic pride is
more operative than linguistic, 1t was
decreed that billboards were such an
affrOnt to the artistic sense that they
should be removed from the public
gaze. To decide was to act. Men
equipped with instruments Of demoli-
ton sailed forth on June ! and began
a work which since then has resulted
in the removal Of $40 garish billboards
and has inundated them on a high al
tar of outraged taste. The job still Is

tember 90, 1900. This will is not nearly so long
nor so involved as that Of General Washington.
1t was prObated in 1902 by George Washington
Parke Gusts and Thomas Peter, two of the execu'
tors. 1t was taken up with the disposition or
household effects and provisions for the education
of her relatives. Three granddaughters, four
nieces, her grandson, four %nephews, a grandniece
and other distant relatives and friends are men
toned. To them she gave paintings. town lots
and to nearly all Of them she gave from five to
ten guineas with which to buy rings.
One of the odd provisions was: at is my Will
and desire that Ann Marian Washington, daughter
of my niece, be put into handsome mourning at
my death at the expense of my estate, and be-
queath to her ten guineas to buy a ring"
Another unusual order reads: ut Is my will
and desire that all of the wine in bottles In the
vaults be equally divided between my grand
daughters and grandson. to each Of whom T
bequeath ten guineas to buy a ring for each"
All Of the family pictures. except a few spe'
officially mentioned, were left to George Washing
ton Parke Custis, and to him went a large collec-
ton of household furnishings, including beds.
water coolers, china and furniture. Special pro-
vision was made for the education of three neph-
ews, who were to be fitted in "some useful
trade" and she made a further provision that
100 hounds be given to each to set him up In his
trade.
The belated return Of these two famous docu-
ments, so essentially personal and human In their
contents, to the little courthouse where they were
both filed for probate over n century ago has
made of Fairfax Court House another Mecca for
the histOry.loving tourist, and it Is rapidly falling
into line after Mount Vernon and Alexandria In
point of popularity.

BUILT FROM HIS OWN PLANS.

At the late date of 1897 a wish expressed by
George Washington in his will was obeyed. He
had called attention to his selection of a spot for
a new tomb for himself and family and those Of
the family already buried in the old vault. The
old tomb was disadyantageously situated on the
side of a hill which was subject to landslides.
For the new vault he specified not only the spot,
but also dimensions and materials. According to
these, his own plans, a tomb was built, and his
and Mrs. Washington'S bodies were transferred
to it, along with the remains in the old vault of
other members of the family. The latter were
buried within the vault, out of sight. while the
bodies of General and Mrs. Washington are In
stone collins above the ground. within plain view
between a grated iron doorway.

on farms where there Is no Ice house.
The mild character of the early part
Of the winter. of course, has made the
potential supply Of ice less than usual.
but the actual supply-much greater
than will be gathered-is adequate for
all needs. 1t is not necessary that ice
be Of any particular thickness. Six
inch ice Is desirable, but 1t is not es-
sential. Four-inch or eve three-inch
ice will serve every purpose that
thicker ice could be made to serve.
And 1t does not require weather very
cold and lOng-continued to put a three
or fOur-inch coat over the pond.
The department of agriculture rec
ommends neighborly cooperation in
Ice harvesting. Two, three, or more
families joining forces and using the
same pond or stream, If convenient,
al do the work much more easily and
ex~peditiously. than the working force
Of one farm alone ordinarily can do
It. Also. when done by two or more
families Jointly, ice harvesting par
takes Of the nature Of a picnic and
the work Is done without anybody
thinking Of it as a disagreeable task.
The cutting Of ice is a very simple
operation. The method recommended
by the department of agriculture is
to mark off the pond in rectangular
figures of convenient size, then to saw
out a strip from shore to shore and
force 1t under the ice, leaving an open
channel to the bank. Pieces as large
as can be handled are then sawed out
on either side, pulled ashore by men
with ice hooks or by a horse on the
bank, then loaded ON the wagon OF
sled.
The method Of storing varies. II
the Ice is to be stored in q properly
constructed ice house with commercial
insulation, little packing is needed. II
a house not equipped with commercial
insulation, or some other makeshift
storage space is used, the ground
should be covered with IL inches of
sawdust or p%laning-mlll shavings be-
fore the ice is put in. A Pinch space
should be left between the ice and the
walls and should be tightly filled in
with sawdust or shavings, and a v
ing of Is inches of sawdust or shave
ings should be placed owe the ice.
P%laning-mill shavings are preferable
to sawdust. being more absorbent and
not so much inclined to pack. Whether
sawdust or s%havings are used. care
must be taken that the material Is
thoroughly dry.

ISN'T IT D~ISAGREEABlE
TO HEAR

Your best customers patient
complaint, 1.-THE milk was sour

The milk inspectors judicial
declaration, "Your bacterial
count is too high"
The factory managers per-
emptory decision, II can't make
good butter out of this cream and
l can't make good cheese out Of
this milk"
If they are disagreeable, don't
listen to them. You don't have
TO.
The bacterial count is high,
the milk is sour, the quality of
butter and cheese is poor often
because the milk or cream
wasn't kept cool because there
vas nc ice available. and there
was no ice available because you
let all of it melt where it froze
instead Of gathering it and put
ting 1t In your ice house.
Fill the ice house full of ma
tural ice from the pond or
stream. That will help to stop
the disagreeable things that peO-
pie say about your milk and
cream.

"Perhaps the most remarkable ex-

town builder Is Yorkship, near Cam

In Popular Mechanics Magazine. This
town, where 10000 Of Uncle Sans
shipworkers lived, might almost be
said to have been built overnight.
Starting work early In the summer,
about a thousand houses were ready
for occupancy in October, with an
other thousand to follow.

made. Every house is complete; it

the thing was planned as "a whole. The
chief benefit which accrues to the
worker from the building Of these
towns is the fact that landlOrdism is

are to go unfailingly to the workers.
Rents must be based on cost and not
on the maximum which the tenants
a be forced to pay. And inasmuch as
the government has no desire to retain
the ownership now the war Is practi-
cally ended, a scheme has beer
evolved to sell them, not to individu

Rats Cause Heavy Losses.

Losses from rats in cities are enOrm.
Gus. In 1908 the biological survey
made a careful study Of rat infesta-
lions in two cities, Washington and
Baltimore, with the result that actual
losses of produce and other property
amounting annually to 100000 and
100000. respectively, were revealed.
These sums are nearly In ratio to the
populations. The Woman's Municipal
league of Boston recently announced
that losses from rats in that city
amounted to $1,350,OOO each year.
Losses in Pittsburgh, Pa, have been
estimated at over 81, 100000 q year.
