SAVE PERIsHABLE PRODUCTS
Rural Motor transportation Affords
Opportunity to Get Crops to Mar
ket Quickly.

With the advent and development
of rural motor transportation comes
direct encouragement to raise better
and bigger crops because of the better
and broader market thus afforded. In
the production of marketable produce
there comes an opportunity for the
saving of perishable products by
quick deliveries, and for higher prices
because of the excellent condition in
which these commodities can be de-
ivered.

Tomb Of saIadln.

In the ancient Syrian city OF Da-
mascus lies one of the great figures Of
the middle ages--Saladin, the pagan
cavalier and warrior. Damascus had
been the capital Of this Moslem chief.
There he died and there many years
later a fitting tomb was erected by his
followers and orders were given that
prayer for his soul be made continu-
ally as a signal mark of honor.
The Moslem leaders tomb lies In a
quiet, shut-in corner Of Damascus. In
the shadow of great mosque. With
in the little temple is the marble sar-
cophagus of Saladin and by his side
another, said by some to contain the
body of his son.

tect has specified to be covered with
prepared canvas deck cloth, making
the floors less noisy and more easily
kept clean. Each of the bedrooms has
series Of closets adjoining 1t. These
closets are to be equipped with space
saving clothes-hangers, which save a
great deal of closet space and keep the
clothes in excellent condition.
The basement extends under the
whole of the building proper. Here
are located separate rooms for the
heating plant, the fuel storage, cold
storage of fruits and vegetables. and
space for the storage Of tools and 9TH
er garden and lawn utensils.
One of the strongest attractions of
this design is that 1t can be built at
comparatively low figure. The
shape of the house lends itself to eco
nomical construction; the dimensions
are not large considering the number
and sizes of the rooms, and the mate
rails are medium priced.
One of the first questions that home
builders, or rather those expecting
to build, ask nowadays when they look
at a home design is: "What will II
COST" Building costs are not stable;
they are more in one location than In
another, depending on the labor stu
alton, the distance from the source OF
material supply and other local condi-
lions. 1t is an easy matter, however
to get fair estimate of cost from the
local architect, contractor and mate
rial dealer. All of these men are In
touch with market prices Of materials
and labor. and can give a pretty &C
curate estimate, If they are convinced
that the inquirer Is In earnest.
In this connection 1t will be found

ia one Of the least expensive types Of
homes to build. Also the Dutch Co
lonial, to the writer's way OF thinking
Is one of the best, both from exterior
appearance and interior arrangement
| In other words, they give the home
builder the very best In comfort, con
venience and satisfaction.

Thus did vinicius, young Roman
patrician Of the time of Nero, an
nounce his love for Lygia, daughter
of a king, beautiful hostage from her
nation, forgotten in the turmoil Of the
world empire and brought up as a
Roman girl.
Vinicius was speaking to his uncle
Petronius, known to his own time as
Arbiter Elegantiarum, trained In oil
the art and beauty of Greece, wise,
witty, and learned, gayly stalking his
life In his daily battle of wits with
Tigelllnus, who provided for the gross
er desires of the tyrant Nero as Pc
tronius did for his finer and more
artistic ones.
