gives them plenty of ventilation. One
size they are is that the architect
has specified space-saving closets.
These closets accommodate In small
space as many garments as the larger,
dark closets found in many homes;
are equipped with hangers which keep
and permit the owner to withdraw the
hangers from the closets when a gar
ment Is needed. These closets save
a foot or more over the ordinary clos
cts and add just that much to the size
of the room.
Under the house is a full basement
finished with a concrete floor. Here
are provided separate rooms for the
heating plant, the fuel, the laundry,
and q storage room for fruits, vege-
tables md canned goods. The laun-
dry is coated so that the clothes have
to - carried the least distance, and Is
ar'anged so that II will accommodate
the modern labor-saving washing ma
thine, mangle and dryer, that ara
needed by the family of good size In
these days of high laundry labor
costs.
Taken all together this is an excel
lent home for good sized family. At
the same time 1t is not expensive, it's
dimensions being only SO by SO feet.
All of the walls, both foundation and
in the superstructure, are straight,
which are the most economical I'm
both labor and materials to con-
struct.
By consulting your local architect,
contractor and building material deal
er the cost of this house can be as

Lacking Essential Can Be Overcome
by Providing Air Duct of Wood,
Metal or Terra Gotta, Fitted

1t is necessary to have good venti-
lation if food and vegetables are to be
kept safely in storage. In many cell
lars under dwellings the lack of venti-
lation is the only essential that is
lacking. However, this can usually be
easily overcome by providing an air
duct constructed of wood, metal or
terra Gotta, which, fitted in one of the
windows. is desirable, as it permits
the cool air to enter at the bottom Of
the room. Two or more joints of g.
inch stOvepipe, one with a damper,
and an elbow may be used. A piece

the heated air to escape. In cold
weather both the hinged door and the

Barrels, crates, boxes, or bins may
be used as containers for the various
vegetables, but movable containers are
preferable to built-in bins, as 1t is
possible to remove them for cleaning.
1t is advisable to construct shelves or

prevent the containers from harboring

Where Bugs Hibernate.
The bureau of entomology offers the
following information: The chinch
bugs spend the winter in clumps of
bunch grass and under dead leaves
and rubbish. In the spring they
emerge and fly to fields of young
wheat, where they lay their eggs on
the root tops and stems. When the
wheat commences to ripen and dry,
the young bugs leave the wheat fields
in armies and walk-for most Of them
cannot fiy-to the cornfields, where
they do the greatest damage.
The fact that they make the migra-
ton from the wheat to the corn by
walking gives the farmer his oppor-
tunity to check the invasion by pour
ing road oil along the bottom Of
shallow furrow dug across the line of
march. Deep holes should be dug
every % feet along the furrow on the
side nearest the wheat to trap the
bugs.
