SIMPLICITY MARKED
IN ONE-TONE FINISH
Modern Homes Given Background
of Beauty With Deco
rative Strip.

In many modern home the one
tone finish gives a background of sim
plicity and beauty But to that finish
is often added one touch-striping.
And that one touch supplies a deco
ratfve note Which makes the room dis
tinctly different from the usual one
tone finish without the stripping lines.
Obtaining the most effective results
with stripes depends upon the choice
of color for them and the entire wall.
If you use paint made Of white lead
and flatting oil, your color selection
need be limited only by your desires.
Stripping consists of a narrow band
ing line or lines applied directly to
the side wall 1t outlines all window
frames, door frames and other inte-
rior trim and parallels the wood trim
and the ceiling line, the distance away
depending on the width Of the stripe.
Choice of color for the stripping is
important. A color very close to that
Of the wall color will result in sub
DUNG effect On the other hand, an
intensely contrasting color will add
snap and brilliance.
There is practically no end to the
number of shades and tints YOU can
obtain with this all-lead, all-color paint
mixed and tinted for the job. That
is why this combination of white lead
and fatting oil is used so frequently
in producing stripping and many other
beautiful and distinctive wall finishes.

ideal for such architecture, it seems
to lend itself to honey construction.
AS the color scheme Of the wooden

changed by the application Of paint
or stain, there is never danger that
such a house win become monotonous
or out of tune with its Surroundings.
The architecture of this design is
unusual, with the gahled doorway,
arched entrance and low, sloping roof

adds much to the interest of the front

opportunity for a distinctive color

How much are comfort and con-

Comfort and convenience are usually

Wiring, like the plumbing system,

able development in the manufacture
of hardware which has taken place
since he established the industry.
What he made the record does not

Ages artistic craftsmen wrought in
bronze and iron beautiful locks and

USE OF CONCRETE HAS
GAINED IN POPULARITY
Block, Tile and Brick Show
Marked Increase in Recent
Years.

Recent years have witnessed very
large increase in the use of concrete
block, building tile and concrete brick.
The popularity of concrete masonry
construction is due in large measure
to it's general adaptability for con.
structional purposes. 1t is employed
regularly for the construction Of eX-
terror walls, for Notwithstanding
walls for curtain walls and partitions.
Individual units meeting standard
specifications are capable of carrying
ten to thirty times the load ordinarily
imposed upon them.
The concrete building units used are
precast either by the 'tamped" or
east" process. Reliable manufac-
turers using either process make
building units of guaranteed quality,
complying with the requirements Of
all local building codes.

SELECTION OF SITE.

Personal Preference Should Con-

Much depends on the site-often
there is no choice. But If there is a
choice, let personal preference CON
troll it.
Climate, prevailing winds and local
conditions are governing influences.
An east front is often best; south. west
and north follow in order. An east

morning sun is a remedy for breakfast

The stately lily shows its pale white

is spiritual beauty in the first timid
violets, the crocus beds and the yellow

The season is fair with thoughts of
new beauties. new ambitions and pro

What more fitting time to think Of
your own home garden as a chalice of
radiant flowers-your house, inside and

with optimism, gratitude and gladness?

Home Judgment Needed

Buying or building a home requires
the use of sound judgment in seeing
that the personal needs Of the family
are best met with the funds available.
1t involves not only the carrying on of
transactions of financing and buying
or building, but it also involves the
proper determination of location with
respect to school, to work, and to
neighborhOod.

AS the sea wall resists the waves, so
copper. brass and bronze protect
against the corroding effect of mois-

Rain, fog, dampness and water pipes
soon rust corrodible metals. A house
that has copper roofing materials
brass pipe, brass or bronze hardware
and lighting fixtures and bronze or

with metals that last.

FIRE PROTECTION FOR PERRY
WILLIE BRIDGE

John N. Mackall, chairman of the
State Roads Commission has an
nounced that equipment will be in
stalled on the Perryville-H Havre de
Grace vehicular bridge that will af-
ford fire protection for the structure.
Mr.. Mackall states fire hose will be
placed on the new double-deck
bridge across the Susquehanna river,
between Perryville and Havre de
Grace, as a precautionary measure
against second fire. Hydrants and
sections of hose will be placed every
10" feet along the two surfaces of
the bridge in the place of the barrels
of water formerly placed on bridges
as fire precautions. The precau-
tions were decided upon by the COM
mission following the recent fire
which damaged the bridge before the
upper deck was completed.

WANT NEW ROAD
Eighth District Residents Take
Matter To Court

The matter of new road in the
Eighth District, made necessary by
the flooding of the old Tow Path
road at Conowingo by the new DAM
has been taken to Court and testi-
mony was heard last week at Elkton
in the case of Charles w. Drew VS..
the Cecil County Commissioners
A. F. Brown, Esq, Havre de Grace,
for Mr.. Drew, and A. D. Mackey,
Esq, and Steven A. Williams, Esq,
of Bel Air, represented the Commits
sioners. Mr.. Rhinedollar, of State
Roads Commission, presented testi-
mony as to locations and distances Of
the roads near New Conowingo.
The claim of the residents of near
Conowingo is that their section,
which has been completely cut off by
the impounding OF the waters of the
Susquehanna by the immense new,
dam, is that they are justly entitled
to portion of the $15O.000 paid to
the County Commissioners by the
Power Company for road purposes,
in place of the entire sum being ex-
pended on road from Port Deposit
to the bridge over the breast of the
Conowingo dam.
Testimony showed that people liv-
ing in and around New Conowingo
were obliged to travel two miles out
of their way, in order to cross the
Susquehanna river, by reason of the
destruction of the old Conowingo
Bridge and the closing OF the old
Baltimore pike at that point. 1t was
brought out that the Tow Path road,
a county road had been flooded by
the impounding OF the river. The
residents of the Eighth District are
desirous of getting new road from
New Conowingo to the Conowingo
station and the dam breast.
Mr.. Rhinedollar stated that by
the specifications of the State Roads
Commission a new highway would
cost about $4,000 and that good
dirt road with proper grading and
drainage would cost about $4,000.
The road desired by the residents of
that section would start at Mr..
Drew's property, paralleling the
iowlandville-We Corner road to
the Dam breast. Mr.. Rhinedollar
stated that a concrete road would
not be justifiable from the standpoint
of the State Roads Commission, and
that such a road would only benefit
few people.

CHIMNEY FIRES

Two chimney fires on Christmas
Day called out the Community Fire
Company engine. The first alarm at
about seven o'clock Sunday morning
got the firemen who responded up
earlier than they had intended, and
sent them out in the biting cold to
the tenant house on the Magraw
farm, at West Nottingham, where the
fine old mansion house was destroy
ed by fire few days previous.
Fortunately the blaze on Sunday
morning was soon extinguished, the
firemen in addition, by means of a
chain and rope, giving the chimney
thorough cleaning, something it
apparently had not had for years.
Shortly before seven o'clock in
the evening the firemen were again
called-out by a blazing chimney. this
time to the home Of Fred Smith,
colored. at Porters Bridge. The
blaze was soon extinguished.
The Fire Company respectfHlly
urges that more attention bs paid TO
the chimneys. especially in homes
where woed and seft coal are burn
ed.
The placing of pieces of zine, such
as may be found in old batteries, on
the fire in the stove or fireplace
will be a great help in leesening the
SCOT in chimney and causing it to
fall to the base, where it can be
leaned out. A little care IN this
respect may save disastrous tire.
