tory for summer pot-culture, and
since cut flowers do not keep well
here during the warmer months, it
IS well to plan on having some pot
ted plants to satisfy our love for
flowers indoors.
If one has potted petunias or vim

scheme could center around these
flowers, which may be had in al
most any of the pastel shades.

living room, comes the kitchen,

CONCRETE FLOOR
IS PROTECTION
FOR YOUR HOME

Among the commonest and most
dangerous forms of fire is the fire
that starts below stairs, unseen and
ursuspected, and works its way up
ward through inflammable floors to
destroy the whole house and endan-
\'r the lives of the occupants.
The basement fire may have any
one of several sources. 1t may begin
in piles of rags, paper and other
waste, stored in the basement TO
Spontaneous combustion may easily
take place among oily rags; other
materials need only small encourage
ment to break into flame. In win
Ter, fires often start in the vicinity
of the furnace, either as Il result Of
over heating in the furnace itself
or as a consequence of careless han
ding of fresh ashes.
If basement fire can be kept in
the basement it can be fought with
relative ease and with small dam
age. But. ordinarily, there is little

through the floor and the walls
Probably the most effective means
of keeping the hazard of basement
fires at minimum is the coustruc-
tion of a first floor that cannot
burn nor transmit fire. With this in
mind, many builders and modern
izors specify concrete first floors.
Such floors are entirely fircsafe apd,
in addition, offer opportunities for
unusual decoration, at Il cost which
il only slightly more than the cost of
m ordinary floor.
Many Styles Available
A concrete floor may be built in
any one of several structural styles, !
each of which can be depended on
for satisfaction. 1t may be construct
eG as simple, reinforced concrete
slab or it may be east over lines Of

:al cooking utensils, curtains and
freshly painted walls. Greens, and
lavenders are popular eolors for
Kitchens. There are many mechan-
i'al devices to make the kitchen
more comfortable during the warmer
months. The two most important of
these is n hood over the stove to
carry off the excess heat and cook ing
odors. The other is ventilating fan.
1t IS, Of course, quite necessary to
have Il good refrigerator.
The dining room should receive
attention at this time also. If one
had a screened porch large enough
FOR this purpose it can be made most
attractive. One might decorate it, if
it is quite large, as a combination

Fire Insurance
Means Progress

Without financial protection the
rost speculative investment un
dDubtcdly is the ownership of burn
ale property! No amount of care
can entirely eliminate the danger
Of unexpected and serious loss from
fire and windstorm.
Without means Of safeguarding an
Investment against loss, financial
progress would depend entirely upon
chance.
Fortunately there is fire insur-
arcc.
The ownership of property is Il
decided speculation-unless the val
ne is financially protected by fire
insurance. Progress can only be
maintained when investments are
safcguarded.

ROOM
FOR HOBBIES in
BUILDING HOME

What could be better for the
children than room in which they
can play at all hours of the day
where their scattered toys will be
out of the way and out of sight
of the mainly used rooms of your
home? There is probably nothing
that looks more disorderly than to
have children's TOYS scattered all
over the house and yet the young
sters should play.
Particularly When the climatic
conditions or health require that
they stay indoors, they should be
given as much freedom as possible,
The solution then, is to provide them
with plavroom, either by building
one into the attic or the basement.
Here in the Imperial valley the
basement would probably be found
cooler in summer, while i'll winter
there is little weather in which
children cannot play out side all
the time.
Think of the many hobbies which
can be followed to advantage if the
lobbyist has a room in which to fol-
low out his desires in any one of
kindred lines.
To the Photographic enthusiast,
dark room provides a place where
Photographic developing, printing
and enlarging can be efficiently
done at home. Many followers of
the Photographic art get their great
est enjoyment when they do their
own finishing, but because of crowd,
ed conditions or the inconvenience
OF workig in kitchen, or bath
room, they pass up the most enjoy
able part of their hobby.

any other member of the family.

vides fine place for a workshop
the pride of a man who enjoys work
ing with tools. Many a man after
day at the office does not feel
inclined to sit down and read in the
evening. 1t affords him little relax
alton. And so, he steps into his
workshop and works away on a ship
model, turns out some little toy for
the children, on high speed lathe,
does some other piece of handiwork
that strikes his fancy. Such a hob
by affords important and necessary
relaxation from the efforts of the
day.
If a workshop is available at ones
nome, many attractive small pieces
or furniture can be made at odd
times, and thereby. gain in more
ways than one. for the pride we all
take in something which we have
created ourselves is far greater than
mat taken in something which we
