of the kitchen is an important feature
of modern construction. The large
kitchen of few years ago is no long
er found. This is particularly due to
the shortage of domestic help, and the
housewife cannot take care of the
large room without help. As a result
the builder has reduced the size of
this room and hoped in doing so to
make IL more efficient. The kitchen
in this home is built with all modern
equipment. Opening from the pantry
onto the porch is a wall door ice box.
This eliminates the necessity of the
ice man walking through the kitchen
and disturbing the family. as he can
put the ice in the box from the porch.
The bedrooms are all located on the
second floor. There are four of them
of exactly the same size, Is #. 3
inches by IL fit. 6 inches, each with
q large clothes closet and lighted by
at least two windows. The bathroom
completes the arrangement.
In view of the present shortage Of
homes and the crowded conditions in
many localities, families who have
such a home as is shown here are in
deed fortunate. Too often in the con-
struction of dwellings the children are
overlooked, and in many cases are not
tolerated by landlords. However. they
are a necessity and attractive and
comfortable homes like this type, will
do much in developing them into
healthy men and women.

A Brave Man.

Brown IS a brave man, and when
one night he heard a noise downstairs
he promptly arose, took poker, and
proceeded to investigate the cause.
On reaching the hall, the light of
the candle he carried revealed a
burglar in the act Of leaving the
house.
"Hi !" cried Brown. Come backw
The burglar turned and gazed in
surprise at Brown.
What's the matter?" he inquired
"Have forgotten anything? All, of
course. The silver candlestick you are
carrying. Thank you so much"
Then. before the astonished Brown
could realize what had happened, the
burglar seized the candlestick ana
vanished into the night.

Y. M. L. A. TO GIVE
 SWIMMING LESSONS
Week of June 28 Set Aside for
 Free Instruction

The announcement that the Young Mems Christian Association is making arrange ments to tea=h all boys of the city 12 years c< age and over to swim during the week Of June 2s is certainly meeting with the ap proval of tho community. judging from the many inquiries relative to il that being received at the association office.
 This swimming campaign will be ~aged for the sole purpose of teaching the boys Of the city how to swim and thus do away with some of the drownings that yearly mar our summers. It is expected-and. from comments already heard. it can safely be said-that all parents. well the boys. will cooperate in this good work by seeing that their boys properly informed about this campaign and that they go to the Y. NJ. c. A. next Saturday morning, the 26th a o'clock. for their consent cards, which will have be signed by parent guard ian. This card will be returned immediately and the boy assigned a swimming period good for the entire week.
 In view of the fact that school will be out of session next Friday afternoon and that so. many picnics are scheduled for next Saturday. the association invites any of those boys who intend to learn to swim. but who going the picnics. to come to the Y. NJ. C. \. next Friday afternoon at ? o'clock for their consent cards.
