BY WILLIAM A. RADFoRD.

Mr.. William A Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject Of building, for the readers of this
paper. On account of his wide experience
as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he
is, without doubt, the highest authority
on all these subjects. Address all inquiries

When we think of June we invari-
ably think Of brides for June is the
month of orange blossoms and honey
moons. Each marriage this year
possesses considerable importance in
view of the acute housing shortage
The big question is: Nov that these
young people are married where are
they going to live?' If they get started
on the matrimonial voyage right, their
future happiness is assured, but if
they get off on the wrong foot, it is
very likely that the divorce court will
eventually settle their troubles. There
is no better way to get started than
to start in ones own home, be it ever
so humble. Thanks to the ingenuity
of the builder, small homes are no
longer drab, and unattractive. The
bungalow has solved many hOus-
ing problem because of its economy in
cost, individuality and coziness. Some
how or other the bungalow is indefin-
ably linked up with romance and senti-
ment. Could we suggest more fit
ting home for the newly married
couple?
That is why we are showing the
charming little bungalow which
appears in the illustration. This can
very APPLY be called a honeymoon
bungalow Low, rambling and COM
Portable looking 1t appears to cover
a great deal of ground but an examina-
ton of the fiocr plan shows it to
be of moderate size, 36 by 80 feet.

are equipped with special space-sav-

made possible the saving of consider
able space. The bathroom is located
off the hall on the opposite side.
1t would be difficult to find more
delightful bungalow. 1t combines
attractiveness with efficiency and be-
cause of its arrangement can be built
for a very reasonable amount. IL
every young couple could only start
off their welded career in home like
this, the divorce courts would not
be hundreds of cases behind schedule.
Too many are now starting life in a
rooming house or in apartments that
call for exorbitGnt rents. Small
monthly payments on home just
like this will soon make it possible for
the thrifty young man to own his
home He need no longer worry about
what the landlord will do at the ex
piration of his lease. He has lease

Fabric Superior to Real PeIt.

Silk fabric in imitation of sealskin,
or plush, as it is sometimes called is
made from the silk sber of the silk
worm itself TLssur silk is usually
used for this purpose. Tussur silk
is taken from the uncultivated worm
or in other words, the worm which
might be characterized as living in
the wild. 1t is claimed that textile
furs, used so extensively in women's
outer garments or cloaks, are really
more healthful than fIrs. This is
attributed to the fact that the woven
back of the imitation fur permits of
the circulation of air, whereas AMI
NAL furs, the hides of which have.
been tanned and the pores closed,
prevent its penetration and tend to
cause perspiration. The danger Of
colds from this cause is said to be
considerably lessened when fabric fur
is used instead Of the real pelt.-Dry

FINE ART OF COOKING RICE
Cereal Can Be Cooked So That 1t In
FIaky and Each Grain Is Sepa-
rate, Say Specialists.

Rice can be cooked so that 1t 10
faky and so each grain remains sep
arate, say food specialists In the
United States Department Nf Agricul-
ture. To obtain that result wash the
rice thoroughly, boil it III a large
proportion of water, and do not over
cook.
To one cup of dry rice, use four or
five quarts of water and one teaspoon
full of salt. Wash the rice through
several waters until all the loose
starch is removed, and drain it. Have
the boiling water ready in a deep
saucepan, add the salt, slowly drop in
the rice, and allow 1t to boil rapidly
for about Is or 20 minutes, or until
a grain when pressed between the
thumb and finger is entirely soft.
In order to prevent the rice from
sticking to the pan, lift il if necessary
from time to time with fork, but do
not stir 1t, for stirring is likely to
break the grains. When sufficiently
cooked. turn the rice into colander
or a sieve, and after the water has
drained off cover with closh and set
over a pan of hot water on the back
of the stove or in the oven; or turn
the rice into a shallow pan. cover with
a lid. and place it in warm oven for
q short time. Treated in this way
the grains swell and are apt to keep
separate.

remains to this day. From a cos
mopolitan city like London, where, it
has been said, there are more Scots
men that in Aberdeen, more Jews than
in Palestine, the church draws an am
pie congregation.
The income of the church, drawn
from the adjacent land, crowded with
offices, is enormous-so that it could
we'll afford to refuse the half million
and out of that income it maintains,
among other things, an almshouse at
Charlton. The records of the church,
extending over more than four hundred
years, were translated at a cost Of

dressing, or in cream sauce Favored
with onion or celery.
Dried vegetables (after being boiled)
may be served in the gravy with the
pot roast or meat or vegetable casse-
role or in the sauce for the baked or
boiled fish. They may be combined
with each other or with other fresh
vegetables, in boiled dinner" or In
chowders or casserole dishes Of any
kind. They may be used with rice,
macaroni or bread crumbs, in stuffing
baked peppers or tomatoes or meat or
fish; they may be combined in a mock
mincemeat.
Cooking the Dried Fruits.
Dried fruits are usually given
long, slow cooking in water below the
boiling point They may be soaked
for few hours, or they may be SIM
ply mashed and put directly into the
warm water for cooking. The impor-
tant point to be observed is not to
soak or cook in too much water. The
dried product can not be expected to
have as much flavor as does the fresh;
so all pains must be taken to dilute
that flavor as little as possible. Most
recipes for cooking dried prunes and
apricots direct that two cupfuls OF
water be used to one cupful of fruit;
but a better-favored product will re-
suit, if equal measures of water and
fruit be used, when the cooking Is
done slowly in a tightly covered YES
sci. so that little of the steam escapes.
Dried fruits may be sweetened light
ly (since they usually contain good
deal of sugar themselves) with sugar,
or with any sort of strip, according
to taste. They are to be used as
sauces, in buildings, fruit cakes and
cookies, compotes, whips, souffies and
even salads, much as fresh fruits are
used.

MEMORY TREES TO SOLDIERS
Plan Proposed to Adorn America,
Highways Meets With General APP

To plant a tree along the great new
American highways in honor of every
United States soldier. sailor and ma
rine in the World war, is a proposal
which has met with the hearty sup
port of the American Legion, G. A. r.,
Gold Star Mothers and other patriotic
organizations. A permanent marker
would be placed on each tree, bear
ing the name of one veteran and his
organization, with no indication OF
rank. A separate inscription would
be placed on the trees representing
those who died.
Full success of the project means
that the great Lincoln highway from
New York TO San Francisco and the
Dixie highway from Chicago to Flor
ida will be fringed with shade trees.
President Harding has expressed ais

FAMOUS OLD LONDON CHURCH
Austin Frars, Dating From the Thir
teenth Century, Is to Be Pre-
served in It's Entirety.

Half a million pounds sterling has
been offered and refused for the
Dutch Church of Austin Friars in the
city of London. Even in these days,
when London talks money" the sum
is a large one, and Ii is much to the
credit of the authorities and worship
ers that they have refused to let their
church share the same fate as Crosby
hall and other memorials of the past.
The church has long and magnifi-
cent history. 1t had its origin in the
priory of begging friars founded in
the Thirteenth. century by Humphrey
Bohun. earl of Hereford and Essex,
and godfather of Edward /. 1t was
spacious, rich in the decorated Win
dows which are one of its principal
glories today. At the dissolution of
the monasteries Henry VIII granted
the friars' house and part of the
grounds to William Paulet, first mar
quis of Winchester and lord high
treasurer, who made the place his
town residence and used the tram

the choir as a coal-house. His son
sold the monuments, the pavements,
and the lead from the roof, and used
the grounds for stabling. But the
glorious nave, wider than that OF
Exeter cathedral remained, and on
petition this was granted by Edward
VI to the Dutch colony in London.
The grant was confirmed by Queen
Elizabeth and in the hands of the
Dutch the church of Austin Friars
