This is the season Of the year when
those who expect to build home next
spring are studying home building de-
signs. Undoubtedly they have fixed In
their minds about the sort Of house
they will build. But the decision will
be Influenced by the designs Of houses
they see and by the exteriors and in
teriors Of the homes of the friends
they visit. Nevertheless, building
home is an important step. and the
house should not be selected without
careful study Of plans and considera-
tion of what the family needs.
One of the first decisions to be made
Is In regard to the materials to be
used. In great many minds, the
thought Of house brings a picture of
a frnme building Of wood. To others,
brick will be the material. while some
will consider hollow building tile, or
cement blocks. Each materinl has Its
advantages and disadvantages. But.
when arguments for and against the
different materials are summed up. II
finally becomes a matter Of individual
taste.
In practically every city the majority
OF houses erected at the present time
are of brick, either of solid brick or
Of brick over frame, or hollow tile.
Brick has n good. substantial appear
ance and has the advantages Of pro-
vidlng home that IL warm In winter
and cool In summer. And at present
prices there is little difference in cost
between any OF the materials.
Herewith Is shown home building
design that is most popular. 1t Is n
five-room brick bungalow that is nt-
tractive In exterior appearance and has
a room arrangement that is convenient
and will maie q most comfortable
home. While the rooms nre small In
number. they are Of good SHE. and
will provide accommodations for the
average family.
The attractive feature Of the exte-
ricr Of this house Is the porch. II il

CITIES TACKLE
FOOD PROBLEM
Variety Of Ways, Some Of Them
Unusual, Are Being
Tried Out.
HOW one CITY SELLS FOOD
Houston, Tex- Handles Fruits and
Vegetables In Composition with
Tenants Of lts Municipality
Owned Market House.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment OF Agriculture.l
Washington. That municipalities
are tackling their local food problems
In variety Of ways, some Of them
unusual, is evidenced by reports re-
ceived by the city marketing division
of the bureau Of markets, United
States department Of agriculture.
From establishing curb markets. re-
modelling, or building retail market
houses, efforts Of cities have expanded
until some are actually selling food
supplies, while one city Of about Co.
600 population is operating O farm
and selling produce from 1t at retail.
How Ono City Sells Food.
Houston. Tex. which has a munich
pally owned retail market house. has
taken over three stalls In the build
Ing and is handling fruits and vege-
tables in competition with Its tenants.
In order to be fair to other retailers
1t charges itself with all overhead eI-
penses paid by other dealers, including
rent, and also pays wages higher than
those paid In other stalls. Reports
on ten weeks operation OF the city
managed stalls show that 1t is posi-
BILE to buy and sell produce In COM
petition with local merchants at both
n direct and indirect saving to con-
sumers. The experiment is to be en-
Iarged to include food products other
than fruits and vegetables and is said
to he already serving as stabilizing
influence on prices In that city mar.
ket. Competing merchants have be
come interested in the methods Of do
Ing business Of the city-operated stalls
md appear anxious to try out prac-
tices that would enable them to lower
their prices.
A City Goes Into Farming
Allentown, Pa. has gone into farm
ing on farm acquired for other pur.
poses which. through changes In mu'
nicipal plans, was lying idle. Under
the direction Of one Of the city nlder.
men this farm Is producing vegetables
and selling them at retail in compeu.
tion with shipped-in produce. Tho
farm also feeds 1000 head Of hogs on
city garbage. Local advocates Of the
plan now propose to include the use
Of an old brewery a. q stornse ware.
house for potatoes and other products
grown by local farmers. 20 - to lessen
the city's dependence on shipped4n
products.
Although the bureau Of markets.
through Its city market division, u
keeping In touch with Developments
In many cities and is compiling In.
formation for use In answering In.
quiries, II states that It would be glad
to hear from any cities, not as yet
reached by formal inquiry. which are
working on local food problems
through municipality owned shops and
by other methods differing from those
that have been followed In the past.
rhe bureau plans to make available In
formation In regard to the successes
and failures Of cities In their efforts to
solve their food problems In order that
municipalities contemplating special
action may have the benefit Of the ex-
perience Of communities faced with

WORK OF PLANT INVENTOR
His skill Produces varIatIens That
Nature Would Require Thousands
Of Ysars to Accomplish.

With watch glass and fine cam
el's-hnir brush the plant inventor per
forms miracles. He causes more
changes in six generations than Nature,
unaided, would produce In 100000
years. Two plants may be growing
In his garden, native Of countries sep
arated by continents. Their struc-
lures, habits, hereditary tendencies
and identities have been preserved
through thousands of years. The
plant inventor takes the pollen from
one. transfers 1t to his watch glass,
carries 1t to the other, and frcm the
glass transforms 1t to the bloom. The
resultant seed is sown. Tie new
plants may resemble one plant or the
other, or they may be like neither,
or they may be the veriest monstrosi-
ties. There are thousands Of disap-
polntinents for one success In the
work.
Luther Burbank chose one seeding
out of G5.0O0 when he invented the
primusberry. The rest were remorse-
lessly destroyed. The new primus-
berry Is a cross between the raspberry
and the blackberry, but has fruit
much larger and finer than either. Mr.
Burbank has produced 100000 vari-
eties of plums, 10000 peaches and nee
