Picture Frames Carefully
Selected Show Good Taste

Frames for pictures are today more
beautiful and more adapted to the
pictures for which they are made than
ever before, according to the Amerl-
can Art bureau of Chicago: A picture
is made or ruined by the frame that
is around 1t, just as n woman's whole
personality is enhanced or not by the
hat she wears. This fact is recog.
nlzad by all good picture dealers and
by home furnlshers of good taste.
There is just the right frame for
every picture that exists The great
variety OF polychrome holdings now
to be found at picture stores affords
a wide choice In color harmony
width. design and suitability to the
picture for which the frame Is des.
tined.
The chief purpose of the picture
frame Is to hold the picture and to
make the transition between the pic
ture itself and the background against
which IT is placed The frame should
not command attention of itself; II
should serve to bring out the beauties

Women and Town Planning

There Is no field where American
women can do better service than in
the better planning of our towns and
cities and In the raising Of standards
of civic taste. convenience and santa
ton.
When American women were seek
ing the franchise one Of the most
persuasive arguments was based on
the promise which woman's sense of
order and beauty and domestic clean
llness held out. The franchise was
not essential to the exercise of her
influence in this respect, but 1t was
helpful, and now that 1t has been
granted it Is gratifying to see the
growth of womens organized interest
In field which naturally evokes her
special qualities and which has been
too much neglected by men, Com
munlties throughout the country are
giving more and more attention to
the better ordering and identifying of
their surroundings, and the enlight-
encd part women are playing in this
civilizing movement Is one of Its most
important and hopeful aspects.

Old Rags Go to Make
Attractive. Durable Roof

The use Of old rags and the artistic
temperament Of architects are two
factors which have combined to pro-
duce superior, varlegated asphalt
shingle and roll roof1ngs. Two-thirds
of all roofing requirements in the
United States are now supplied from
asphalt materials known as prepared
roofing" the product Of typlcally
American industry that has been de-
veloped in the last few years. and in
which old rags are used chiefly.
Now comes the variegated asphalt
and asbestos rOof-the tapestry or
blended color effect produced by a
combination Of red and green prepared
shingles or combination of red.
green, black. and even yellows.
Architects felt at times that the fiat
effect of single-toned asphalt shingle
or roll roofing was an artistic handi-
cap and that something should be done
to relieve certain dull monotony
that initiates against obtaining Ger.
tain csthetic values.

frame construction. the sides being Of
crib siding, each piece of lumber set
far enough apart to permit good
circulation of air to prevent heating

another to keep out rain and snow.
The building is 20 feet wide and so

through the center and on each side
are double cribs. Overhead there are
four grain bins, over the driveway
The cupola permits a power elevator
with adjustable spout so that the ear
corn can be spouted to either Of the

them In the best possible condition

Loss From Chimney Fires
Over $12,0OO,OOO YEARLY

Over $12,O0000O annually is the loss
from fire throughout the United States
caused by defective and improperly
constructed chimneys, according to the
national board of fire underwriters.
Building chimney In the proper
way seems simple matter, but this
stupendous sum is the loss every year
due to ignorance or willful neglect of
men In the building Industry who do
work on chimneys. The principal OBJ
ject in building n chimney is to pre-
vent the flames and sparks from en-.
terlng other parts of the structure
from the chimney.
Too many Americans evidently en-.
deavor to save the cost of fiue lining

materials In chimney construction.

down in consequence. When build.

did small towns exist in any large
number with such 1. high general level
of education and behavior us in the
Middle West today. If our material
progress has somewhat outrun our de-
velopment in artistic and Cultural"
lines, after all we feel it is better
that way than with the reverse condi-
tion. Also, every one of the traits

Backing Home Invention

Bohemian town of 10000 inhabit
ants has formed itself into what
Americans would call committee Of
the whole to back n local inventor.
The town is Oberleutensdorf, the in
ventor is named Havlitzek, and the
half-perfected invention with which he
is struggling is a plan to transmit
rOwer without wires. His funds have
given out when he. at least, thought
the goal within sight. and his fellow
citizens have come to the rescue.
One hopes that such teamwork will
be rewarded. Havlitzek is working
on line that fascinates every cleo
trlcal inventor. Power is being sent
without wires now-every radio is
proof of that, but, up to date, that
power cannot be directed. 1t Is sent
out broadcast. thrown equally in all d.
rections. The problem Is to focus the
rays or ether waves or whatever they
are so that they can be sent in
given direction, from station to sta
tion, with less waste than now at
tends the transmission of current on
wire.
If that can he done, 1t will trans
form the world; and no one has
thought of any good reason why II
cannot be done. Man has learned how
to reflect light, heat and sound In any
desired direction, though with all ex-
cept lighi the waste of transmission Is
great. Why should he not be able to
do as mucE with electric current?

ADVENTURE OF

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Would you like to go and call on
Red Riding Hood?' asked Mister
Mugs as Nancy and Nick seated
themselves in the magic automobile
| for their next adventure in Once
Upon-a-Time Land. -
"Shall we see the wolf?' asked
| Nick.
"Pm not so sure about that" an
( swered little Mister Mugs. "lou
see, the wood cutters chased him SO
far and gave him such a beating that
! he may not have felt like coming

Chug, chug, chug! they went over
seven counties and seven towns, and
in the twinkling Of seven eyes they
came to the forest where Red Riding
Hood had met the wolf.
And there stood little house with
neat sign which said, "Granny's
Cottage-Lift up. the latch and walk
in"
So they all walked inland there
stood the old wolf.
ooh, my!" cried Nancy, rushing
for the cupboard where Red Riding
Hoods grandmother had hidden long
ago when the wolf chased her out of
bed.
"Come here, Nancy" said little
Mister Mugs bravely. Don't be

believe that he meant to hurt Red
Riding Hood or Nanny either!'
Suddenly two big bears fell out Of
