too hard nor too soft, since this
room will be occupied by people of
various tastes. A bed room should
be room in which to sleep in
PEACE and quiet, so for this room
avoid anything that is garish or
stuffy. Washable draperies are
daintier and can be kept fresher
than those Of heavy fabrics or silk.
Bed draperies are pretty, but they
are unsGnitary.
Science states that environment af-
fects the child far more than its con-
dition of birth. 1t follows then that
the cbild's room is, or should be, the
most important room in the house,
just as the home is the most i'm
portant factor Of civilization. The
young woman whose reluctant feet
have crossed where brook and river
meet may be depended on to see that
her room reflects her feminine tastes,
and the young man of similar age. thst
his reflects his virility. But the child
in this formative period must be guild
cd. Since of such is the kingdom of
heaven and order is heavens first law,
Deatness should be. insisted upon in
the child's room. yet it should be SO
arranged that here the mothers
"don'ts" will be reduced to a mini
mum. There should be closet for
toys when not in use and the child
taught to respect it. Durability should
be the keynote of the furnishings and
draperies. with which can easily be
combined the artistic. The furnish
ings should be as complete as those
in the grownups' rooms, simply on
different scale. The child especially
should have its own books and book
shelves or cases, its own desk, and

mantlepiece paneling, or tinted
walls with mates or bas reliefs in
simpler room. Generally avoid
pictures in the dining room and as
the pestilence avoid a wall broken
by plate rail and dropped ceiling
molding. Draperies should be sim
pie and subdued, easily washed and
aired, lest they hold food odors.
Use side light with candles for the
table.
Furnishing the Bed Room.
Where possible every bed room
should have a private dressing room
or bath, or both; thus perfect venti-
lation may be procured in all
weather without the necessity of
dressing in a cold room. If not
possible. then there hould be some
quick way of heating in addition to
the general heat. An open fireplace
is an especial luxury almost a
necessity where there is illness. A
comfortable bed, or twin beds--in-
volving good springs, good mat
tresses, linen and covers that are
of Sufficient length, an extra cover
let for the. feet. A bed table for
land with water bottle and tum-
bier. shaded light. book or maya
zine, pad and pencil, perhaps a tele-
phone. At least one comfortable
upholstered chair. one or two
straight chairs and il there is room
for it a slipper rocker. Where pos
sible a day-bed or chaise lounge for
the siesta. In the guest bed room a
fully equipped desk. including a
waste basket. Decorations should
be to suit individual tastes-though
the guest room should be neutral.

every way subt'-- be made to feel
that it is an integral part of the home.
The lesson of responsibility can no.
where else be taught so forcibly. To
furnish the child's room with left
overs and cast-offs is objectionable.
The idea is that the playroom feature
is not to be sacrificed or even sub
ordinated. The room is a,failure I'M
less l. is a playroom first of all. Then
it is indeed a child's room.
Hall Should BE Formal.
The hall in the average small house,
unless it be q living room hall, is
merely an entry into the other rooms.
1t SHOULD be more formal than the
rooms into which it opens. A figured
rug is practical and can be artistic.
A table with mirror above it, small
err table for flowers. one or two
straight chairs. these are enough. If
possible have closets on both sides of
entry door for wraps, coats, hats, UNI
brellas, etc.
The sunroom should be the high
light in. the complete picture which
the home makes. A tiled floor with
growing plants in tubs or in a tub
is the best arrangement, although a
wood floor or one of cement is not
Objectionable. In any case there
should. be a rug or several small rugs.
This or these may be neutral, though
it Is better to have it or them in dark.
rich tones that harmonize with the
general color scheme. Draperies
should be sunfast and may be plain
or patterned. Furniture should be Of

NO BETTER TIME TO =

Advantages of Home Own.
ing More Than Offset.
Changed Values. 4

There is only one time in every
mans life when he should buy a
home of his own, and that time Is
the. very first minute that be can
gather together enough cash TO
finance a comfortable home appre-
pirate to the needs of his family.
In other words, right now is al
ways the right time to buy home
of your own. The saving in actual
cash money to be had by applying
towards the ownership Of home,
the amount which would otherwise be
frittered away in rent, will more than
offset any change in conditions which
might arise, not to mention the many
other material advantages Of being
your own landlord.
The enormous shortage Of housss
which exists today in every part OF
the United States is well known, and
to provide accommodation for the fam
lilies, who at the present time are
forced to double up or live under in
convenient and unsanitary conditiony,
will keep the building industry work.
ing at full capacity for several years
to come. Meanwhile the population
Of cities is increasing by leaps and
bounds and still further housing ac-
commodations will have to be provided
for the families represented in this
increase.
1t is generally agreed by those who
have made a study of housing condi-
tons, that from five to seven years
must elapse before the building indus
try will be able to provide sufficient
new homes TO cover the existing Short
age and to take care of the new FAM
lilies that will be added to city popula-
tons during this time.
Now, it is easy to see what this
means.
Before new building can be erect
ed a lot must be purchased.
Vacant property is the one COM
modify that has not advanced proper
since pre-war days-no one
questions that-but prices are rising.
The building boom which is already
well under way is creating a demand
for building sites in every district,
which is gradually bringing prices up
to where they belong, and will eventu-
ally provide a very handsome profit
for those who buy now.
Building material and labor have
shown reduction in price during
the last two years and undoubtedly
will go lower. but no very great re-
iuction can be expected for several
years, as the law of supply and de-
ndnd is infallible and the demand for
building material and labor d. ing
The next five TO seven years, will, -
greater than ever before'l,y

BY buying now substantial profit
IN the lot is assured.

GooD roads and good camping
grounds are becoming more and
more the criterion by which a state.
county or community is judged by
the people who travel, and those
who travel onw days are the
great majority of our citizenry.
This being the case it behooves
every community that hopes to
attract the tourist or sightseer to
keep its roads and camping grounds
in the best of condition. Too
much stress cannot be laid on
these two features, as scarcely a
day passes but that tourists are
passing our doors who exchange
information with other tourists as

As to immigration.

Periodically some one arises to
demand that we close our doors to
immigration. They think we al
ready have enough foreigners in
this country. Others are loud in
their dem ands that we let down
the bars and allow them to flock in
by droves. They need a certain
illerate class to work in steel mills,
where it is difficult to induce a ma
tive American to labor.
Both are right in one way and
wrong in another. We do have
too many foreigners in this country
of certain stripe. They are the
agltators who are always against
the government, wherever they
may be. We should be getting
rid of such gentry instead of
multiplying the number In our
midst.
Without the negro to work its
cotton fields and other plantations
the south would be seriously hand
icapped, II not in desperate straits.
The same applies to the great
steel mills and kindred industries.
They are dependent upon a class
OF labor that is extremely difficult
to obtain among our own people.
Hence in their extremity they
turn to the immigrant, whose past
life fits him for such work.
The duty of congress is to admit
such foreigners as are actually in
demand for legitimate purposes,
but to restrict admission to people,
who are able to prove by their past
lives that they are law abiding and
peacable people who would con.
form to the laws and customs of
our country. Our immigration
doors should be closed, barred and
padlocked against the agitator and
his whole brood,
