length OF the skirts. This varies con-

prominent modiste is making skirts
seven inches from the ground, while
another widely known establishment

Build This Out of -Four Cigar Boxes
DIRECTIONS.

The plans provide for every part
of the bird house but the floor. The
floor may be of any suitable piece OF
wood, but should be about IL l-2
inches by 9 inches, The house should
be set back so as to leave inches
extend out in front for veranda.
After saving or cutting out the parts,
erect the sides and secure them In
place by lacking in the front and
back sections. Then the strips or
cleats are put on over the cracks
where the two sections OF tho front
and back join. The two roof boards
and the ridge strip complete the
house. The door should be bored or
cut out with a knife, A twig will
serve as perch and should be
placed just below the door
OF course. cigar boxes are not the
only material from which this charm
ing little bird house can be made. The
design may be carried out in any
available material by keeping to the
proportions given

out by the hremen from the Grams

asked the county for assistance
eighteen months ago. but that their
plea was unanswered.
The Cranston Heights Company is

been called on for fire service re-
peatedly.

representatives of the fire compan-
les present had organized the New

Association. The officers are:
President. John l.. Jordin, of Five
! Points; first president, Rob
ert Cross, Cranston Heights; sec
ond president, w. f. Groome,

posed of John S. Smith, of Grams
ton Heights; John Smith, Holloway

This committee will meet on sun
day and later a special meeting OF
the association will be called &c

ton. The meetings Of the associa
ton will be held monthly at each Of
the rural fire houses.

ent last night, discussed details for
Arranging a system of fire alarms for
the rural county, whereby, in case
of a fire, the company located in
that district, would have sufficient
help at all times.
The five fire companies repre-
sented at the meeting reported hav-
ing the following equipment; One
