 The after-accident crowd that comes from no one knows where had quic kly assembled. Ugly threats were passed around. The driver of the twisted taxi was hurling hot words at the white faced Jenkins. Both drivers were unhurt

 "Oh, Glare, Clare!" Manion was crying brokenly. Tt is Philip. Won't you speak to me? You-you won't go and leave me to live on and know I killed your"
 But no answer came to his pleas ; the white lips seemed to be stilled forever. Manion covered his face with his hands and sobbed bitter ly. Then some one pulled him back from the cab-a doctor had come. And in few minutes they were hurrying to the nearest hos pital.
 For an hour that seemed like an eternity Manion waited for the doctors verdict. Gone was all the

CHRISTMAS TREES?

In regard to why Christ mas trees came into use, the following explanation is giv- en: It was the desire of the church to combat the neathen custom which pre- vailed at this season. Christ mas carols and Christmas plays were introduced and later Christ trees" or Christmas trees, adorned with lights and gifts, the latter in commemoration of the gifts brought to the Christ Child by the "wise men," There is a diversity of opinion as to where the Christmas tree custom orig mated. it being credited to both Italy and Germany.

The ul- innate goal of 100000 animals slaughtered annually would be reached in 8 few years, he said. This would mean much to trans pOrtation, the employment of many men in varied lines. The necessity for market develop ment was stressed and he urged it was 10 the interest of all Alas kans to take an interest in the industry
 Nome, he declared, had a great many things to be thankful for to Juneau The manner in which it's representative were greeted and aided when they come here to legislative sessions was praised.

When the shovel digs into the coal
pile and hear frost greets your eye at
your first morning glance out of doors,
you are conscious that Old Man Winter
Is getting back to town. In the minds
of you who have been hoping and
planning for new home these signs
of approaching cold weather may
arouse doubts as to the wisdom of
any further action until Spring But
very likely you want to move into that
new house in the Spring and enjoy
living in it during the glorious Spring
and Summer months. If you postpone
building activity until Spring the en-
the house is ready for occupancy.
There is no reason why you should be
held up by the Winter building bogey.
Business is good all Winter for the
contractors on big construction prof.
cots. The SkyScrapers and large indus
trial plants which require IL months or
more to build cannot allow cold weather
to stop them. You have, no doubt, OBJ
served the tarpaulinS and similar in
closures to protect workmen and new
construction and noted with interest the
salamanders and other equipments and
methods Of heating material such as
sand and gravel which are to be used
In poured concrete and mortar.
Few Interruptions Caused.
The residence does not require such
extensive protective measures as does
the large building. The foundation is,
of course, masonry and the footing is
generally poured concrete. The ground
on which the footing is poured must
be free of frost. An integral cement
hardener In powder or liquid form may
be added to concrete to hasten the set.
This Is the best anti-freeze protection.
A covering of tar paper and straw will
be enough protection during set except
in extreme weather.
Best results in Winter are obtained
by use of quick-setting cement mortar
Masonry material must be kept dry,
the mortar should be warm before and
while in use, walls must be protected
by covering until mortar has set. En-
gineers recommend mortar mix of one
part cement, two parts lime and nine
parts sand for good results in cold
weather.
Lumber is not affected by low tenn
peratures and frame construction may
be carried along through the Winter
season with few Interruptions as soon
as the building is inclosed, with tenn
porary heat installed. Plaster work
must not be attempted without heat
available to maintain the proper tenn
perature. SalamanderS are used for
temporary heat pending installation OF
fouse-heating boiler, coke being the
ct,atoulary fuel.

valued at more that $4,O00,OOO00. In
their newest. development, Iilden
Gardens, one may own cooperative
apartment of six rooms and two baths,
ordinarily renting for $3.50 to $l75, by
a very reasonable initial payment, and
monthly payments of $122, including
taxes, insurance, operating charges
and all other expenses.
OF this $122 monthly payment, an
average of sol is saving, an invest
ment, and applies on the purchase of

ingly short time one owns the apart

but $1 per month operating and other
expenses.
In location, environment, beauty OF

ARE YOU PAYING FOR A HOME
WITHOUT EVER OWNING IT?

MOT long ago resident in one
IN of the older apartment build
ings in Washington told us that
she had been living in the same apart
ment for seventeen years When we
pointed out to her, and she realized
that during that time she had paid in
rental nearly $25,0OO0O, she was as
tonished. There are thousands of SIM
liar cases throughout the city.
Most people prefer the conveniences
and comforts, the absence of petty care
and worry, of apartment residence, as
contrasted with house 1t has al
ways been more or less taken for
granted that apartments must be
rented, until some years ago, when a
plan was evolved to combine the con-
veniences and comforts of apartment
residence with the economic advan-
tages of individual home ownership.
The idea has met with startling sue
cess and popularity in New York, Chi
cago, and other large cities.

rem have blazed the trail by building
and selling over three hundred and

Center Hall Plan Marks !
Interior Layout |
of Dwelling.
BY L. PORTER MOORE,

President, Home Owners Institute, Inc.
We are offering today as our fea-
tured small-home design another plan
of a house that has been built. Con-
struction- tested plans always are espe-
cially interesting to those who contem-
plate home building. Today's design,
listed as plan No 340-S, was erected
this Fall as a model home at Atlanta,
Ga. and was for a number of weeks on
public exhibition.
This house was built on a plot meas
uring 7Ox200 feet, and contained about
$4,000 cubic feet. 1t was designed by
r. Kennon Perry.
Built of brick, with limited but
effective use of Stucco and half-timber-
ing. this model dwelling is of English
type with cast stone entrance and typl-
cal heavy batten door trimmed with
forged hardware of suitable pattern.
Containing eight rooms, two baths,
full size basement, double garage, porch,
entry hall and breakfast room, the in
terror is marked by livableneSs. With
space in the basement for billiard Ia
Bile. and den or library off the living
room. this plan offers all that is needed
in design and construction for pleasant
living.
Interest is added to the exterior of
the dwelling by the broken roof lines,
which give to it distinctive appearance.
There is a prominent bay and gable
at the right side of the house and
slanting roof over the covered porch at
the left.
The house is of the center-hall plan.
On the right side are, in order, dining
room, breakfast room and kitchen,
while at the left side of the hall is a
great living room with opening onto the
porch at the side and entrance through
an arch into the library at the left
rear of the house. At the rear of the
center hall Is lavatory.
The four bedrooms on the second
floor are placed at the four corners of
the house to provide for cross venti-
lation. with the two baths placed at
the sides of the dwelling between the
front and rear bedrooms.

Winter-Built House Bugaboo Dispelled
By Use of Modern Construction Methods

Exterior painting can be completed
during the Winter months by proper
planning. When the temperature is
below 40 degrees there is too much
moisture in the air for paint, but there
are many long stretches of dry, clear
Winter weather. The priming coat is
very important to the success of the
painting job.
Factors Are Detailed.
The important factors in successful
Winter construction are the building
mechanic. the carpenter and the mason.
During the Winter there is a slacken-
ing of activity in the building field,
and the mechanic has to hold his Job
against keener competition. The men
who are working are generally keen for
it, they keep well clothed, and the low
temperatures discourage any tendency
to loaf. If the contractor gives the
men protection from wind as far as it
is possible to do so, they respond finely
and push the work forward with salts
flying speed. The most skilled me-
chanics are available in Winter and
usually the Winter-built house is a very
well built house. It is possible that
lower wages may be in force during
Winter months.
