the davenport and furnish sufficient
illumination for the entire length OF
the davenport.
The lamps in a room need not be
similar in form or color, for such an
arrangement would mean an unpleas-
ant mOnotony. In many case, such as
a small table on each side of the fire
place, or on a long davenport table,
twin lamps are preferable, for they
give n pleasing balanced effect. Tall
torcheres usually go in pairs, as do
lamps in candlestick form. Other
lamps are individual, and should be
treated as such.
Interesting Color Effects.
The bases Of floor lamps may be
of wrought iron, or wood, in dark
natural colors, or antique gold, silver
or polychrome finishes. Many Of the
new floor lamps are mounted on a
small flat piece Of marble, which gives
good substantial look TO the base.
Most Of the table lamps seem TO have
their origin in n colorful luster vase,
mounted on a solid base or fitted with

CONCRETE TILE
MANUFACTURED
IN SAN ANTONIO
Melliff-McAllister Lumber
Company Makes "Water-
SEAL" a Perfect Roofing.
FOR ALL PURPOSES
Uses Are Not Limited to
Any Particular Kind
of Structure.

The Melliff-McAllister Lumber com
pany which manufactures Water
seal" Concrete Roofing Tile in their
yards at Medina and Bucna Vista
streets, is ready to solve the roofing
problem for any prospective home
builder in San Antonio, according to
Gerald Melliff, who further states that
the use of this roofing is not limited
to any certain kind of structure. The
Waterseal' tiles have fire. water,
frost and storm proof qualities which
make them desirable for the factory
as well as for the fine residence. Mr..
Melliff states that the extremely low
cost and freedom from upkeen costs
recommend the Waterseal" tiles to
the small DIS well as the more pre-
tentiOus home-builder
Architects specify Waterscal" tile,
states Mr.. Mclliff, partly for its very
low cost, but primarily they are in
fluenced because of the facilities it
presents for the construction of real
ly artistic roofs that are a deserving
attraction of the structure.
Attractive But Not Heavy.
Mr.. Melliff states that "Waterseal :"
tile affords all the beauties of tiles
without the appearance of heaviness,
and at only fraction of the cost.
Mr.. Meliff explains that "Watcrseal'
concrete roofing is in appearance
beautifully shaped and finished,
smoothsurfaced tiles, variously color
cd. In weight, contrary TO the
thnnUht Of hoo vipnoc oil
ed with concrete. these tiles are sur
prisingly light. They do not, states
Mr.. Melliff, make a small building
look burdened down by the weight Of
n massive roof. and no stronger roof
structure is required than is built for
any other fire-proof roof. The
Waterscal" roofing weighs only $50
pounds to the square and requires
only slightly heavier frame construc-
ton to accommodate il.
Perfect Interlocking Feature.
This ideal roofing is named water
seal" because Of the perfect inter
locking feature which absolutely cx-
cludcs all water and weather because
of the non-porosity Of the surface.
The tile was perfected by Otto Wal
ter. but as Mr.. Walter always cared
more for the invention of concrete
tile machinery and the various pro-
cesses than he did for the actual pro-
durtion of the tiles, he decided to
sell his tile business and devote him
self entirely TO the production Of
better tile-makinS machinery. The
Observation-Disclosures Lumber company
is one of the firms that manufactures
Waterseal" tiles, and that has avail
ed itself of the benefits OF Mr.. Wal
tcr's wide experience.

due to its two unbroken walls AMI
its nearly square dimensions. A
suggestion for furnishing is given,
although the sofa. for instance, can
be put in place of the table in the
front window. More chairs can be
kept in the room, if needed. although
a room with little furniture is much
better than one cluttercd up.
Similar furniture layouts are sug-
gested in the other rooms.
A French door divides the living
room from the dining-room. The
French effect is carried further into
the dining-room by the French Win
dows which can be thrown open in
summer to afford pleasant dining
place.

less opportunity for interesting color
effects. MS. for instance. lavender
vase with silver and black mountings,
topped with n shade of orchid geor-
gette with ruchings of silver lace and

The shades of the lamps should har-
monize with the colors in the room,
but it. is well always TO have a warm
color for the lining. For this purpose.
thin silk in rose, henna, cerisc, yellow
or orange is the best. Green. purple
or blue give cold light which is al
most depressing to some people II a
blue lamp is desired, however, blue
georgette may be shirred over gold
lining, thus securing the color effect
without losing the pleasant warm
glow.

Much Thought Being Given
to Proper Illumination
of Rooms.
WINDOWS DON'T COUNT
Because Lig hts Are
Switched on After Day
light Hours Gone.

Too many rooms have a comfort
ble-in-daylight-only arrangement. 1t
is quite natural for the woman who
arranges the furniture during the day
TO put chairs, tables, desks and dav-
exports where the light from the win
dows makes them comfortable and
convenient for reading, writing or sew
ing. She quite overlooks the fact that
windows are a total loss during the
evening hours so far as light is con-
cerned.
With the erstwhile popular arrange
ment of a floor lamp near the piano
and a table or drop light in the middle
of the floor, as soon as the sun went
down all the nicely arranged chairs
had to be shifted from their original
position TO a point where the occupant
could get a ray of light over a book or
paper. In the morning the chairs had
10 be put back in their so-called proper
place. Such constant disarraging
meant a wear and tear on the rugs as
we'll as on the dispositions of the vari-
Gus members of the household. 1t
didn't require a great deal of effort.
of course, but it was petty annoyance
which was overcome when every easy
chair had its own light.
Central Fixture Abandoned.
| The use Of the central fixture in the
living room is being abandoned, for it
necessitates punching chairs and tables
in the middle of the room for evening
work. A number of outlets around the
room and in the floor are preferred, for
in this way lights may be distributed
when needed.
Bridge lamps might be called "chair
lights" for one of those lights peeking
over the back of comfortable chair is
enough TO make an evening at home at
tractive to anyone. They also do good
work over a desk, which cannot con-
veniently hold a small light. When
such a lamp is used with an easy chair,
however, small occasional table must
always stand near to hold the book,
magazine or ash tray which helps
make evening pleasant.
Larger floor lamps may be used as
the light for two chairs, placed side
by side, with the lamp between them.
Such an arrangement is particularly
good in an extremely small room,
Where two chairs would look "crowd-
ed" in such close proximity without
the saving grace of the lamps pres
ence. In such an arrangements
place for small table should be made
beside one Of the chairs, or directly
in front of the lamp.
Table Lamps Are Popular.
Table lamps are the Oldest form of
lighting, but are as popular as ever.
When an easy chair has a table lamp
for a companion, the lamp should
stand on a table high enough to raise
it above the book or paper in the oc-
cupant's hands. The table must also
be broad enough to make a secure base
for the lamp, as well as furnish room
for book or magazine. A table lamp
is usually preferred for a davenport,
since it may stand on the table behind

The extra porch from the dining
room in another pleasant feature.
Housewives will like the kitchen
for its square, roomy cha racter. al
though it is not too large to make
kitchen work tedious. The pantry
relieves the necessity OF filling the
kitchen with pantry shelves.
The best part of the kitchen, how
ever. is the window-lit sink - help

what it means to work. at sink

ow from the center ceiling light.
The outbide dimensions of the en-
tire home is 2S feet by 40 feet. In
Chicago, where building costs are
high, construction of the home alone
would amount to about $1,000.

CITRUS SEASON OVER
Valley Growers Expect Enormous
Crops Next Year.

San Bcnito, Tex. March 29.--The
citrus season for the valley has prac
tically closed for this year. Most of
the packing plants have closed down.
At McAllen the Texas Citrus Fruit
Growers Exchange closed last week.
and the plant at Harlingen closed
about the same time. The packing
plant in this city is still in operation
but will close in a short time. Seven
ty-two carloads of citrus fruit were
shipped from Mission and Harlingcn
the last week of the season. 40 from
Mission and 81 from Harlingcn. At
the time the plants were closed there
was n demand for 100 carloads.
The trees all over the valley are
heavily loaded with blossoms and an
enormous crop is looked for next sea-
son.

wax should be placed between two or
three thicknesses of cheesecloth so that
the wax will pass through the meshes
of the cloth as it is rubbed over the
floor, thus insuring a thin, even coat
ing of wax. After allowing fifteen min
Ites for the wax to dry, the floor
should be polished with a clean. soft
cloth. This operation should be re-
peated once or twice until the desired
lustre has been obtained. If regular
floor polisher is employed instead of

floors will be further simplified. The
floors should be waxed until they have
acquired n rich. subdued lustre which
will add cheerful warmth to any roo,a
and do much TO enhance the beauty of
the whole interior.
If the housewife desires a change
in the color Of her floors, stain
must be used. The process is simple
enough to be accomplished By any am
