Suitable Drain for
Porch Is Essential

A suitable drain to carry off rain
or melted snow is almost an essential
for a porch with a solid concrete
brick or wood railing
Their, too, the washing of a porch
is made much easier when there is a
drain from the waste water and one
does not have to mop it up and re-
turn it to the bucket In fact, if the
porch is provided with drain one
can use the ordinary garden hose and
wash it just like sidewalk.
We have found that the best and
most efficient drain can be constructed
easily in the following manner:
Frame up the porch joists in the
usual way, then cut in headers be-
tween the outside joist and the one
next to it, then head across again be-
tween the headers, leaving about two
inches between this header and the
outside joist.
Stop the porch floor about one inch
over this header.
This leaves a place for the surplus
water to drip down the front porch
ioist, where the ground will easily
take care of any amount of water as
would naturally fall in such place.

SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT
A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE
BY F. "A. Wake

THE scenes and sounds of a great
4 city speak in vernacular which is
readily understood by him whose eyes
and ears are attuned to the splendor
and the din.
And what is true concerning the sea
soned citizen is proportionately true
of the verdant visitor who at a glance
interprets the meaning of the smile OF
sturdy beggar grinding hand-organ
while his picturesquely frocked com
panion rattles a tambourine.
The chimes in the church steeple,
the tinkling bells of the itinerant ped
dler of many wares, speak to all in a
familiar tongue.
The Russian or the Greek who can
not frame word of English knows
we'll the lingo of the gathering milk
cans in the early morning and answers
their call with alacrity.
Who is SO untutored that he cannot
read the joy of the sound of the bah
bling brooks, or the love in the song
of the happy bird that is singing among
the green hills to his mate?
And the cumulus clouds with their
ever-changing forms, their happy tints
of purple and gold and silver, go sail
ing by in the evening sky. telling their
tales of magnificence which cannot be
put in words, but which are easily com
pretended by the lovers Of the sublime
and the worshipers of Him who
changes in a second the colors of the
worlds.
The sigh and the songs of the winds !
Who does not delight in their whis-
perings among the forest trees and the
flowers their moaning roars over the
waters of the deep, their lullabies in
the night when the earth is still, and
sleep, half-dreaming, closes weary eyes
to refresh and give them new luster
for day unborn?
Their language is universal, under
stood by creeping things, by beasts, by
men and the angels.
This is no dead classic whose mes
sage is obscure
Every word is liquid gem, requir-
ing no scholarship, no knowledge be-
yond that which Nature bestows to
make its meaning comprehensive and
inspiring. like the master stroke of
painters brush or the magic note of
nightingale alone with the listening
stars of night, straining his little throat
in praising his Maker

Build the Garage Large

One of the greatest faults of ga

built large to house the automobile
properly, no provision is made for
man to work around his car.
The average size garage is about ~
by Is feet. This will take care of al
most any automobile that is not in the
truck class, but it is not large enough
for the man who likes to tinker
around and do his own repairs.

few extra feet are added on to the
structure, there will be ample room
for the bench
Insulation of garages is alse a thing
which the owner should give consid-

rolls of common building, or tar, pa

The owner can save considerable
money by sheeting the inside of the
