FIRST FLOOD pLAu

For those who like q plain sub
stantial house, something with a
suggestion of dignity and perman-
ence, here is one that will appeal.
The house is designed to be built
of hollow tile with stucco finish. The
hipped roofs with broad overhang-
ing caves give good weather protec-
ton.
The group windows with their
Hover boxes and the well designed
entrance give interest to the cXter-
Tor and offer a pleasing contrast with
the plain stucco walls.
A feature of this house is the
garage which is placed under the
living porch. a concrete incline
leads down from the grade in the
rear to the garage floor. which is at
the Same level as the cellar floor. \
fireproof door, connects the garage
with the cellar, thus making the car
accessible without going out Of doors.
The garage has complete water,
lighting and sewer service, all con-
nected to the house supplies at a
very slight cost.
The reinforced concrete floor of the
living porch forms a firoprOof roof
for the garage. In the living porch
a quarry tile floor is laid over the
concrete. The living porch has been
made another room by completely
enclosing the openings with sash and
screens, and a room that proves to

To Protect Garden
Plants From Frost

Readville, Mass, Sept. 16 CA. P)-
Put a damp, warm air jacket on your
garden plants if you want to protect
them from frost this autumn. That is
the advice of Alexander McAdie,
director of the Blue Hill Observatory,
who speaks as one having authority
on the subject because of his success
in aiding orange growers in Califor-
MIA to keep their crops from freezing.
Your grandmother probably loved
flowers and took good care of them"
said Director Meade, who also is
professor of meteorology at Harvard.
"She had the right idea, when the
crisp early fall nights came round, of
protecting the flowers from frost by
wrapping newspapers around them
carefully, pinning the paper SO that
there would be no gaps and wide
open places. In this way her plants
would keep their blossoms until Oct
Der"
But grandma did not know it all;
we think we know little more than
the old lady did. We now wrap the
newspaper around the plant just as
before but after pinning it tightly we
twist another sheet of paper into
something like a rope about an inch
thick and pin it in place. We then
take a third sheet and wrap it around
just as was done the first sheet. We
now have an air space about an inch
thick between the two wrappings and
this air jacket prevents loss of heat.
1t is an excellent heat insulator. We
have practically bottled up the inside
hot air around the plant and If this
is done about three o'clock in the aft
ernoon 1t is almost as effective as
keeping small stove near the plant.
Also we should sprinkle the plant and
the ground with water, sprinkle 1t
we'll, before We wrap the papers
around it,
with most flowers and small fruits
the temperature has to fall four or
five degrees below the freezing point
and remain there for several hours
before damage is done. Plants can be
cooled to a point below freezing and

$50 water the plants freely. cover
them tightly. put an air jacket on

"Of course for garden truck. larger
