Proper Housing Important.

Many think of housing as something which concerns only great cities. Res identS of smaller cities and towns read reports of high buildings, covering the ground completely, with dark, unven- tilated rooms, crowded with lodgers, and then think of one-story cottages, or. at most, two or three-storied dwell ings of their own cities. and thank God they are not as New York or even es Chicago. It does not do to be too sure that the home town has no dark, unventilated rooms, no house that is a breeder of tuberculosis. l have seen in several of the smaller cities of the Middle West conditions that make nearly as good horrible examples in these respects as any that I have seen fin Chicago. But doubtless it is true that more bad housing of the kind mentioned can be seen in ten-minute ride on Chicago elevated train than in a months survey of smaller com munities by the most keen-sighted ob- server.-Exchange.

Southern California's metropolis is fast becoming billboardless city, ac- cortiing to reports submitted to the city council. Of the 927 billboards and advertising signboards standing last June, $40 have been removed in compliance with the new ordinance forbidding such advertising in the resi- dence section.

TO FIGHT M0LEs AND MICE
Effective Protection Must Be Given Trees if One Would Have Them
 Live and Flourish.

Hoe away all weeds and rubbish under trees. Leave the soil clean and well frmed from the trunk to slightly beyond the spread of the branches. Mound about the trunk slightly. Seat. ter poisoned baits in mouse runwayS, near entrances to burrows, mole run ways and in trash piles apt to harbor mice. Be thorough. Poisoned sweet potato baits are quite effective and keep we'll in contact with soil except when there IS danger of freezing. Poi soned grains are also good. Cut sweet potatoes into pieces about the size of grapes. Place three quarts of fresh ly cut baits in pan and wet with water. Drain off the water and slow ly sift from pepper box one-eighth ounce powdered strychnine (alkaloid preferred) mixed with an equal weight of baking soda. Stir constantly to distribute the poison evenly. An ounce of strychnine will poison bushel of cut bait Keep all poison containers plainly labeled and out of reach of children, irresponsible persons and live stock. Remember, clean cultiva- tion, where practicable, will keep mice in check. In sod or sod mulch or chards make mouse fighting a system atie annual practice.

HAN BEAUTY IN BUILDING
Cottage Seeming to Grow Out of the Ground Gan Be Cheap and
 Not Ugly.

Soon the economical small dwelling
 Is coming in it's thousands. writes Lieut.. Gordon Allen, R. E., author of
 The Cheap Cottage and Small House." in the London Mall.
 Cost has always been an essential consideration in the building of cot tages. And some of the very qualities making for eheapness tend also toward -1 pleasing appearance. Repose and
 genuine homehness, the right use of
 materials, the application of thought and good taste to produce graceful iproportion and picturesque balance I those are some of the elements help I ing to harmonize cottage home with its environment without adding any thing to the money expenditure. Let us examine our historical cot tages and try to discover by analysis whence comes their beauty. We shall ind that the old builders made direct for comfort and convenience-as they
 then regarded it-without troubling
 orermuch about ornament. And by
 force of circumstances they were com
 peiled to use only the building ma
 terials at hand.
 | What an object lesson for us today
 Local materials are still cheaper than those from a distance. They al- so weather" better, besides looking more suitable. States, for instance, are jarring and out of keeping in clay districts. And where stone is avail |hble, Upright red bricks offend nature las well as the neighbors.
 : Forty per cent of the cost of house is spent on walling. A legitimate means of saving in this direction is to reduce the height of buildings. This can be done without taking away from the floor area, which is so important. Moreover, lofty rooms are not neces- sarily healthier than low rooms, for tall windows and other kinds of ven tilation can easily be provided.
 And the lower a cottage is and the more spreading it's lines, the more pie turesque will it be.

A blouse that will look like new after each laundering, as long as it lasts, is made of fine white voile and embellished with dots and thread em- broidefy in blue silk. For durability and for daintiness nothing is superior to voile.

More than ever the flapper has cause to rejoice in beautiful clothes. Great designers spend their time thinking of her and creating things to just suit those wonderful years beginning with twelve and ending with sixteen. Here is a dress that will make grown-ups envious. It is made of coarse linens and has a white waistcoat set in, and handsome flat pearl buttons.

The return to favor of ostrich plumes, handsome feather ornaments, and masses of rich flowers, with much elaboration in millinery, places hats for matrons at the apex of spring styles. The three hats shown above include a dress hat with rich ostrich plumes, a smart street hat with velvet bow, and semi-dress hat in black, with a wonderful feather.
