The market opened firm in re-
sponse to the firmer Liverpool cables.
Notwithstanding reports that Ian

would close for IA days this month
because Of poor trade, the strength
of the English market was accom-

stimulated by reports that the peace
conference had received definite pro-
posals from the Russian government
to end hostilities with all active
months making new higher ground
for the present movement.
The reported suspension Of a stock
and cotton exchange house was fol-
lowed by furry Of Wall Street sell

was understood that the interest of
the firm in cotton was a very small

taken as a result of conferences in
Washington during the past week be-
tween officers Of the National Fed
GRAFTON of Federal Employees and the
presidents of local unions at several
such points.
The pressing need for organization
of these women workers, is evidenced
in the fact that at the navy yards
ard arsenals women are not paid at
the same rate that men are paid for
work of corresponding skill. Although
the War and Navy Departments have
announced a policy of equal pay for
equal work, the women employed in

cottage which was first built as eco
nomically as possible without sheath
ing but having building paper under
the drop siding and against the studs.
This little cottage looked very neat,
as the owner kept it well painted but
it was not what one would call artistic,
and it was rather cold in winter. 1t
was changed as shown in the second
picture and one would hardly know it
was the same house. Nothing on the
inside was changed, as that exactly
suited the needs cf the occupants.
The changes to the outside were
made as follows: First, a piece of tar
paper was tackled over the drop siding
to a height just little above the Win
dow Sills then q piece of 2-by-2-inCh
finishing lumber was nailed as a belt
course on the drop siding at the same
height as the window sills, and in real
ity forming a continuation Of them,
also continuing as the porch rail.
Above this belt-course strip the
ready roofing was applied directly
nailed on the drop siding, and as the
material is thick and WeatherprOOf, it
certainly keeps out the wind Care
must be taken to break the points 50
that they would all be covered with
the wood strips. The window casing
and corner boards were pried off so
that the roofing would be covered
when they were nailed back in place
again.
The wood strips are of 1-by-4-inch
dressed finishing lumber. At the bot
tom between the panel strips and Win
dow castings pieces of 7s-inch quar-
ter round are inserted to finish it off
neatly and cover the tacks at the bot
tom edge of the roofing.
Below the belt course 6-inch bevel
siding, Tapped = inches, has to be used,
and it will be noticed that the bevel
siding goes down near to the ground
and it was Tapped over the foundation
wall. Mailing 1-by-2-inch furring

strips securely to the drop siding, with
here and there a spike through the
strips into the foundation walls, made
a secure mailing surface for the bevel
siding
The old porch rail ana columns were
removed and the siding continued out,
being nailed to a framework Of studs.
The top rail is a piece of finished by
6 inch and the columns plain 4 by
inch, with a little mitered molding at
the top and 58-inch quarter round at
the bottom. Thie was more in keep
ing with the design than the round
columns if they were cut off. To give
the inside of the porch a finished ap-
pearance, the siding was continued
around the inside as well.
The little gable window, divided di-
agonally, is just little touch that
adds to the attractiveneSS of this de-
sign, as it is in harmony with the
timbered-wOrk effect. The window also
serves a very practical purpose, as
when it is opened in the summertime
it allows the air to circulate and keeps
the house cooler.
In this particular house the siding
was placed rough side out and stained
a light brown, as were also the roof
shingles. Green Clipped slate roofing
was used, and all the strips and other
, trim were painted white, and it GER
tainly made a very wonderful change
