Of course where the wood is to be stained with an oil stain the application of the linseed-oil before the stain is applied will prevent tine proper penetration of the stain into the wood. and as the architect gener- ally insists upon seeing samples of the staining work before 1t is applied, the above precautions of protecting the wood as socn as it comes are often thrown to the winds.
 And in connection with this matter of stains, a word may not be amiss Most manufacturers make among their many stains ertain brilliant red mahogany colors, bright Irish green colors and horrible yellows, These are made to m ct certain gaudy tastes shown by the public, but of their use by architects no word could condemn them enough And on a par with these stains is the vanishing with no stain at all of yellow-pine trim. an architectural atrocity which is committed on every hand in small houses.

 A western story of the most ab- sorbing type; the rivalry between the men of the Circle S and the cattle rustlers, the heroine of Ghost noun tain and the setting! Here we view mountain end mesa, sage-tufted but tresses of rocky soil, with cicadas whirring through the mesquite. the brisk rattle of diamond back; 1t is all the atmosphere of the cow country where red-blooded men ride and fight and love.
