Calling in Doctor Architect.

There never was a time when the
services, taste and special knowledge
of the trained architect were more
needed or more in demand The car.
renter and builder have for years been
the consulting experts in the building
of thousands of suburban homes and
farmhouses, and let us give them cred
it, at least, before the lig-saw era, for
many beautiful and charming old
houses.
Following the building shortage in
these latter years has come an appre-
citation of the fact that any old house
or new, be it as hopelessly ugly as 1t
may be, has possibilities. Architecture
has shown many instances of before
and after of old ramshackle, barn
like structures, altered into most de
lightful homes. Old barns have been
made over into charming studios and
living quarters woodsheds incorporated
into the redesigning of an old farm
house. Everywhere is shown a wider
appreciation that nothing is impossible
to the architect of taste and skill
The old and hopelessly ugly city
brownstone house and the little two
or three story brick house or stable on
a side street have been made into ar
tistic and attractive apartments or
studio buildings.
1t is to the architect that we owe
this renaissance and we have only
made beginning toward the develop
ment of the city beautiful rom old
and unsightly and OUT date struc-
lures. Lest some should say that we
are dealing with merely idealistic mat
tiers, with our own desire for better
things artistically, we remark that in
every instance these artistic" i'm
provements have proved the very best
of business in increased rents and more
desirable tenants.
If the cost of new buildings has de-
tered many from carrying out their
long cherished dream of owning their
own home, there is abundant opportu-
nity almost everywhere for the altera
tion of old places at very moderate
cost. And old houses nearly always
offer the nucleus of a more substantial
structure than many hurriediy built
modern houses put up in quantities Tor
speculative purposes.
in considering a new house the arch-
itect can very often effect large saw
ing by taking full advantage of local
materials The familiar stone houses
of Pennsylvania are greatly admired,
and throughout the New England
states there are abundant reasons for
using the local stone. 1t is right at
hand and the transportation cost is
minimum one An instance of the eff
fective use of local stone came to mind
some time ago in the purchase from an
old Connecticut farm of the moscow
cred stone fences that for generations
had testified TO the hard labor of the
first owners of the fields they enclosed
They added a picturesque and inexpen-
sive note to a big fireplace and out
side chimney Architecture.

COST OF HOME
GARDENING ONLY A
LITTLE BIT HIGHER
But the Back Yard Food Producer
Gains Much More in the Value
OF His Vegetables

Food prices are high, but food grown
in home gardens costs comparatively
little more than before prices began to
ascend This additional reason for
home gardening in 1920 is put forward
by specialists of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture. They quote a
letter from a New York business man.
He wrote:
Food costs to-day are practically
double those Of 1914, but the cost to
plant and care for home garden has
not increased to any considerable ex-
tent The clerk, salesman or profess
sional man who grows his own vege-
tables and small fruits reduces the
family food bill More important still,
he increases the total food supply of
the country. He enters the producing
class To very appreciable extent
the home gardener can solve the high
cost of living.
How can the man who never gar
dened learn to garden One good way
j. to write to the United States de-
partment of agriculture, Washington,
n. C.. or to his state college OF agricul-
ture for a bulletin that describes every
step in making a back ward or vacant
lot help feed his family.

Judge Rallsab yesterday denied the
application OF Christian Feiganspan,

mary injunction against the enforce
ment Of the Volstead act by the fed

What Congress has the power to do

WOOD AND

New Hampshire Republi-
cans Solidly Pledged

WHILE DEMOCRATS
FAVOR FOOD MAN
Barely a Fourth of the Vot-
ing Population of State
Was Polled

Manchester, ~ H., March l0.-Be-
lated returns from yesterdays presi-
Dental primaries were coming in to-
day They were from small towns and
did not add greatly to last nights to-
tails, which showed solid Republican
delegation pledged to General Wood
and a Democratic delegation generally
regarded as favorable tor the candidacy
of Herbert Hoover and including three
district delegates pledged for him. The
vote was very light, apparently repre-
senting barely fourth of the voting
population of the state. Many towns
postponed their town meetings because
of snow filled highways and in other
country districts where meetings We're
held, only a small proportion OF the
voters turned out.
However, the light vote was not con
fined to the small towns but was gen
eral in the cities where there wa no
difficulty in getting TO the polls. This
was attributed to a lack OF interest in
the contests, which were largely per
sOnal.

MANSION FOR OFFICE PURPOSES
League Of Nations Gets Duchess of
Marlborough's Home.

London, March 10 The palatial
London house which w X Vanderbilt
gave to his daughter, Consuelo, as a
wedding gift when She became the
Duchess of Marlborough, has become
the home of the British branch of the
league OF nations. The government
has leased the mansion and official
business already is being transacted
there.
This house, which is situated in the
heart of the fashionable section in
Curzon street. is one Of the most costly
in the city 1t is built OF marble and
other stone in the French style. and
from the outside looks more like a
bank than a residence.
1t is understood that the league Of
nations officials and employees are
having troubles, despite the magniii
cence of their surroundings The great
and ornate ball room, for example,
while much admired from an artistic
point of view, develops cyclonic
draughts which cause much discomfort
to the unlucky officials and clerks who
are stationed in it,
In addition to this house, the league
of nations has also taken two other
buildings in piccadilly, since they need

BORDEN SHOWN
CONFIDENCE
Coalition Ministry Wins by
Majority Of "a in the
House of Commons
ALL-NIGHT DEBATE
ON BORDEN'S SPEECH
Proposal to Amend Speech
Failed in Parliament
at Ottawa

Ottawa, March l0.-The agitation for
the retirement of Sir Robert Borden's
wartime coalition government, which
started soon after the armistice was
signed, collapsed, temporarily at least,
when the House of Commons early to-
day voted its confidence in the premier
by a majority of "a.
The vote, which was taken after an
all-night debate, was on the proposal
to amend Sir Roberts address in reply
to the speech from the throne. The
amendment was moved by W. L. NJ.
King, the opposition leader, who de
manded the dissolution of Parliament.
The subject had been continuously be-
fore the House since Feb. 26, when Par
lament assembled.
Composed of both conservative and
liberal ministers, the present unionist
government was frst returned on Dee.
IS, 1917, in the wartime election when
Canadian soldiers overseas were al
lowed to vote Nursing sisters also had
the suffrage as well as women relatives

province of Quebec, where the French
Canadians returned virtually solid
delegation for the liberal anti -unionist
leader, the. late Sir Wilfred Laurier, the
unionists swept the country.

The Last Confederate Senator.

Senator Bankhead was the last Of
the Confederate soldiers in the upper
house of Congress.
In the Senate the Confederates made
a remarkable record. Leaders of men
at home, leaders in the great war, they
forced recognition in Congress.
So numerous were they in Congress
after the war that the Confederate
Brigadier in the Saddle" was a sen
tence often uttered by some narrow
minded man as n malediction.

Confederates were in Congress just

ENFORCED LEVY ON WEALTH
Is Expected to Bring Big Income to
Austrian Government.

Vienna, March 9.-The Austrian gov
eminent expects that its plan for an
enforced levy on wealt has prepared
for submission to the national Assem-
bly, will yield from s,000,000,000 to
$4,000, 100000 crowns. 1t is the prod
uct of Finance Minister Resch. The
Vienna press has been predicting that
1t will bring to a crisis the relations
between radical and conservative ele
ments in the Parliament and country.
Under this measure fortunes would
be divided into two classes: Those
which existed before the war and those
acquired during and after hostilities,
The former would be given an eXemp-
ton of l5 per cent. Fortunes of under
$4,000 crowns would be free from taxa
ton. Beginning at that figure, how
ever, a gradually increasing levy is
provided for, commencing at 5 per cent
and attaining maximum of 80 per
cent. On small fortunes an exemption
of 1000 crowns for each member of
the family is made from the total.
0ne-third of the levy is payable in
cash and the remainder in the interest
bearing third issue war bonds.
Compulsory contribution of wealth
has been before the government in one
form or another ever since its forma
tion, but nothing tangible has resulted.
The capitalistic and bourgeoise classes
oppose it by every means in their pow
er.
The financial proposals, together
with the reorganization of the army,
are generally thought to be the crucial
test of the coalition government. The
latter question again brings the two
principal parties into direct conflict.
The social democrats advocate kind
of national militia or volkswehr, while
the conservatives demand a standing
regular army to be composed largely
of the officers of the old army.

Few Tools Needed for the Home Garden

Thrift gardens should be thrift gar
dens from start TO finish, and the veg.
etables grown in them should not cost
as much as il would cost to buy them
on the market. Every item of expense
should be kept down. This is espe-
cislly true in the purchase of tools,
according TO United States department
of agriculture specialists Some gar
deners have an idea that they must
have a large assortment of hoes and
rakes, wheel hoes, seed drills, spraying
outfits and special equipment before
they can begin to garden. But the
tools actually required in the cultiya-
ton of thrift garden are few and
simple. A spade or spading fork.
steel rake aud hoe, together with
piece of string and two small wooden
stakes, are the chief essentials There
are a number Of other tools, such as
trowel, sprinkling can, wheel hoe, seed
drill and wheelbarrow, that may often
be used to advantage, but they are not
absolutely necessary.
II is important, however, that the
few essential tools be properly cared
for and used frequently. Every time
they are used they should be cleaned
and stored in a dry place. Also, they
should be kept sharp SO that the work
may be done easily and thoroughly.
a good job of hoeing cannot be done
with dull or rusty hoe.
If the garden is located at a distance
fro mthe house, small, low. fat tool
box, long enough to accommodate the
hoe and rake, should be provided. The
top of this box may be covered with
piece of roofing paper to make it wa
terproof. and a small lock should be
provided for safety The loss of one
good tool will more than Offset the
cost of tool box Of this character

pating another victory in the coming
match. but only after a hard fight He
realizes that in Bylund he is meeting
one Of the strongest and toughest men

faithfully.
Besides the main event the fans
are setting great store by the semi
final which viii bring together those
two bitter enemies, Paul Gregorian

Johns threw Gregorian the first time
