RESUME BUILDING OF HOMES
Excellent Sign in American Life Is the
Renewed Interest Along
That Line.

Home building, which underwent
something Of a decline during the
World war and for short time there
after, has become a passion in the Uni
ted States, judging by figures which
are presented to the attention and
consideration of the public. From a
survey Of the situation in the coun-
try it is said that about $5,0O0,O00 has
been spent for home building this
year. Such a colossal enterprise, quite
naturally, is worthy of more than mere
cursory consideration. 1t is, to begin
with, a most encouraging sign of sta
bility for the nation. America, as a
country of home builders and home
owners, need have little worry about
its future This is one of the com
polling talking points in connection
with discussions Of our national posi-
tion.,, AT least g start has been made
in catching up with a condition which,
during the war and for many months
after the cessation of hostilities,
threatened to become most alarming
in the nations affairs. Construction
work has progressed to a point during
1922 where it seems more than likely
that 1t will continue The movement
because of it's own weight will con-
tinue for some time to come.-DaytOn

Guarding Against Fire.

Most fires could be prevented with
care. 1t is the duty of every citizen
to exercise such care In autumn, for
instance, when fires are being kindled
in homes, factories and apartment
houses, there will be many serious
fires due to neglect of householders
and janitors to make certain their
fiues are in good ORDER. infammable
rubbish is removed from Easements,
coal is properly stored, etc. Dampness
has rusted many pipes and fues in
the course of the SUMNER Sudden
heat and strong drafts will break
down these weak spots and break out
in flames which may destroy a dwell
ing or a block. A careful inspection
of all fues, pipes and fire boxes will
prevent innumerable fires. Each sea-
son has its dangers. Overheating in
winter is to be guarded against, ard
summer is a time for extreme caution.

BIueino Metal.

There are several methods of blue
ing steel You might try the follow
ing: Scour the steel with a small guam
tity of strong aqueous solution of
soda, rinse with water and brush
over with a solution of one-quarter
ounce of chloride of iron dissolved in
five ounces of water and let dry; then
apply in the same manner solution
Of oneffth ounce of pyrogallic acid
to one ounce of water, dry and brush.
This should then be lacquered in
order to be durable The articles be-
ing blued should have their surfaces
cleaned and polished Trey may then
be heated to a temperature of 800 to
800 degrees according to depth of
color required.

Bottle Preserued SIZE

On the porch Of the abandoned post
Office at Marlyleeville, which still bears
the old Sig because everybody knows
the post office is now in the back of
the general store, there is q large safe,
also abandoned. 1t was left there by
the Superintendent Of an Alpine coun-
ty mine when the company failed
years ago A sympathetic traveller
asked cowboy if thesresidents knew
what was in it, and why they did not
open it for the possible contents. Yes,
sir, said the cowboy. 1--WE know ex-
actly what that safe contains, and we
have held a-many rally to try to
make UP our minds what to do about
it. She contains $G.40 and a bottle Of
whisky, and we are afraid to blow

Mental Activity Varies.

In general peoples mental activity
varies from season to season in the
same way as physical activity, but
there is an interesting difference in
one respect. In the latitude of New
York. for example, people do the best
brain work about the end of Novem-
Der or beginning of December, that
is, a month or six weeks after their
physical strength is greatest In the
spring, on the contrary, the best mem
tai work is done in March, a month
or two before the physical strength
reaches the maximum. This means
that peoples minds are most stimu-
lated in weather somewhat cooler
than that which most stimulates their
bodies.-From Principles of Human
Geography

The chiId,s Word.

while sitting in the park one after
noon, enjoying the public concert, the

friend who, with her eight-year-old
niece, was looking for seats. AS it

the bench occupied by the Woman for
the TWO Of them, but after while

breakfast the problem is solved 1t
saves trouble, food, ana gives one a
few minutes longer in bed; however,
the breakfast habit is fairly well es-
tablished, having been active for any
number of centuries, SO that the
housewife, present and to come, will
probably still plan and execute break
fasts.
1t is wise to remember that the first
meal should be a happy, quiet one,
starting the family off to their various
duties in cheerful frame of mind
There have been no statistics complied
which tell us of the tragedies, crimes
and miseries which have been caused
by poor food bolted in a wild and
disordered household who can tell
the far-reaching effects of such condi-
lions?
When proper thought has been given
the menu, there is no reason that it
should not be varied, as there are
countless ways Of serving the com
mon things. Heavy, hearty foods are
not good for inactive people and when
one feels stupid and dull an hour or
two after eating it is wise to look into
the menu
Most people enjoy bit of fruit in
season the first thing, then a dish Of
cereal of some kind, which, because
of the variety, may be different every
morning. an egg or bacon and toast
with a cup of coffee, will be sufficient
for the average appetite.
Hot breads, waffles, griddle cakes
may occasionally take the place Of
toast, though the season and temper
allure affects the appetite.

yolks of four eggs well beaten. two

Should Conform to Standard.

With the revival in home construc-
ton that has come during the last
year the efforts that are being put
forth to make these homes better and
brighter should not be in vain. Home
construction along the right lines
means not only added beauty outside
and attractiveness within, but addi-
tional value as well. A badly designed
home in a residential locality is
doubtful investment at best. A good
house in the right location built to con-
form to modern housing standards is
almost invariably an excellent one.

Early Bulbs Made to Burn Upward.


When Thomas A. Edison first pro-
duced light by electricity all of his
lamps were constructed with the point
of the bulb upward, as it occurred
neither 10 Edison nor to the men who
were associated with him that any
light could be handled successfully
unless the flame were allowed to as
cend Although Edison genius had
succeeded in producing light by cleo
tricity, the inventors everyday ia
miIiarity with the common gas jet with
its ascending flame blinded him for a
time to the fact that his new light
could be produced with the lamp in
any position. Thus were all of the
early electric chandeliers constructed
in such way that the individual bulbs
could be set upright III their sockets.
