The basement extends under the

be built to keep the heating plant sep

as it keeps the heat from the family
food storage room.
This is an exceptionally fine design
for a house of this kind and size and
those who build according to it will
have homes to be proud of.
There is every reason why those
who have been considering building a
home should do so now. The govern
ment is urging that all building be
started at once so as to give the re-
turning soldiers employment. Con-
verting the industries that were trans
formed into munitions factories dur
ing the war into their peace time state
also has thrown many persons tenn

This line of reasoning is logical, but
the one thing that deters most people
from buying or building a home is a
lack Of desire to assume the respon-
sibility of paying for It. When it is
considered that a house may be pur-
chased by paying down a small por-
ton of the cost and the balance as
rent, there is not so much RESPONSE
bility as most people believe.
Everywhere in the country now
there is a shortage of available homes.
In almost every community this con-
dition prevails and those who are pay
ing rent are finding that the demand
is causing the property owners to
charge more and more for the houses
they own. Thus, whether they will it
or not, many people have been driven
by necessity into building homes for
themselves, while others are consid-
ering doing SO.
Selecting a design for a house is
undoubtedly the most important step
in securing a home. Care should be

Indian Tailor Bird.

A very curious nest is made by the.
tailor bird of India, a tiny yellow crea-
ture. To escape snakes and monkeys
this bird takes a dead leaf, flies up
into a tree, and with a fiber for a
thread and it's bill for a needle sews
the leaf to a green n hanging from
the tree. The sides are sewn up an
opening to the nest thus formed being
left at the top. The leaf, apparently
hanging from a twig, would Iever be
taken for a nest.

Some one had advanced the argu-
ment that if every family in the coun-
try willed it, there would be few that
did not live in their own homes. With
few exceptions, tenants pay more in
rent than it would cost them to buy
the places in which they live. The
owner of rented property must get as
large a return on his investment as
the same money would earn in in
terest, plus a profit to pay him for his
labor and the cost of caring for the
property. This expense is borne by
the person who rents the property.

NEW PATHE SERIAL
 STARTS TOMORROW

The Great Gamble,' the new thcater tomorrow, is destined to estab- fish a new record for serial pictures. The Pathc Productions company which has the most notable serials made, such as ''The Lightning Raid
 er,' Pearl of the Army and all ser ials in which Pearl White and Ruth Roland have been seen, have eXpend- ed every effort and thousands of dol- lars in making "The Great Gamble" their greatest achievement. And that they have more than accomplished their mbition is the unanimous deci- sion of all who have seen the new sen- SatiOn. Material that would have for merly been considered sufficient for five episodes of any other serial has been condensed into one in this pie ture, with the result that every chap ter of the fifteen is simply crammed full of action-electrifyin dynamic action. Charles Hutchinson, as Ralph Darrel, the hero, faced actual death time after time in the making of the picture, and once or twice his escapes were little short of miraculous. "Hutch," as Le is known to his inti- mates, is d graduate of the western University of Pennsylvania, where he was a fam OuS OarSman, baseball and football player. Anne Luther, the woman star of the serial, is one of the youngest stars in pictures. She has played the leading parts with George Walsh in a number of his more suc- cessful productions, and is an expert athlete, horsewoman, motorist, swim mer and high diver, and plays golf and tennis in her spare moments. Tn the supporting cast are found Richard Neill, Warren Cook, Billy Moran, who was once one of the most prominent jockeys in the world, William Cava- nagh and Edith Thornton.

Ways to Cook the
 Green Corn
{ By Blddy BNe)

Every good American is revelling in his own native dish these days-lit- orally up to his ears in sweet green corn!
 No need to compete with the poets in the praise of this most delectable summer vegetable-only need to sug gest the only proper way to cook it and still more ways to serve it.
 At it's best green corn is only boiled a little in salted water. The chef at a famous hotel serves and cooks it this way.
 Salt water to taste and bring fully to the boiling point. Husk the corn,
 but do not remove the soft inner husk lying directly next the grains. Put
 the ears into the salted water, bring
 to a boil again and cook rapidly for
 six minutes.
 Another method is baked steamed
 corn, prepared as follows:
 To prepare the corn strip back the husks but do not remove them. Strip
 off the silk, replace the husks over the grains, and soak the ears in cold water for two hours. Have the oven
 very hot, lay the corn in a deep bak- 1 ing or dripping pan, cover we'll with a lid or another pan and steam l5 minutes. Send the corn to lllC ldDlG ! hot and covered with a napkin. Corn Pudding. Choose 6 ears of fresh, tender green corn, and score the rows down the center and grate it from the cob Beat the whites and yolks of , eggs separately. Add the beaten yolks to 1 tablespoonful of melted butter and 1-2 tablespoonful of sugar. Beat all very light and add i pint of milk and IA teaspoonful of salt. Blend vel and add the grated corn. Beat again i then add the whites of the eggs bea t. ! en to a stiff froth. Fold in the whites l pour in a greased baking dish and set l in the oven covered with d piece Ot 1 brown paper. Bake slowly for ar hour, serve hot, removing paper tC 1 let brown at the last moment. Corn F'ritters. 1 Crate ears of tender sweet corr l from the cob. Beat 1 egg well, white 1 and yolk together, and slowly add the 1 grated corn beating it in thoroughly 1 Add 1 tablespoonful of melted butter l and IA pint of milk. Add i table 1 spoonful of flour or just enough tC l thicken. Drop by spoonfuls in hot
 fat and brown. Serve with chicker l or crisp bacon.

 I went down to the little camp where Captain Wallis wrote his novel and whese I, as the humble but ne- cessary stenogra pher, made it possi- ble for him to do it in time. I wanted to gather Up some papers and small belongings 1 had left there. Besides, it was quiet, and I wanted to be alone and think. 1 knew he would not be back from town till late. And what Jim Ross said about Eric not caring "except as the novelist for his indis- pensable secretary was tormentmg me beyond words.
 Not that I have permitted myself 10 dwell upon> serious possibilities. But Joan, there is a time in the
 
 woman when, given the vital response, the emotion can become love.
 Love begets love. One loves as one answers a call, all else being right. And in my deepmost soul 1 suppose there had been a feeling that he cared. Yet I never was sure. l could never tell whether his tender manner was for me alone or was his way toward all women he liked and re- Spected. There are moments, Joan oh, well, what is the use of my writing it all now!
 Suffice it to say that with my papers l accidentally gathered up a notebook which l thought at first mine. 1 opened it and my eye fell on tEe pencillcd memorandum:
 Types: Girl at F.'s office: Thin; dark, Wiry. Foreign perhaps. De- voured with ambition to get on fnan- cialIy. ShreWd, selfish. Tempera- mental rather than pretty. Use in story for Walkers Magazine, The Purple Flame Get conversation next time at F.'s.
 Mrs. Warnock: Good type of Heartless. Hungry for amusement and conquest. Intrigue. Insert the talk with her in conserVa- tory at L.'s ball Intellectual and social sponge. Cares for nothing but affairs de occur. Episode with L. as basis of story. ,
 Miss Varick: The unusual, genu- inc girl. Intelligence and beauty. Charm for some. Honest Type Of girl who knows value and determines to play it up to advantage. Use con- versation on porch and in boat, l.. E, hotel. Episodes, etc.
 There were others-'types' he had noted for future use in his novel writing-but | hadn't the heart to read them. So that is the whole story! Jimmy Ross is right. There was nothing more than the casual in terest of writer in a girl who would sometime do to use in story. I am merely a 'type."
 I went through my bad quarter hour, Joanie. And then I got Jp,
