Unfortunately Jerry building,
or poor construction, is quite cormon
in some localities, and the proSpcc-
tive home owner who is willing to he
imposed upon may get the worst of 4
house buying transaction.
All people cant be carpenters hut
il is not difficult to acquire an Gle
mentary knowledge of some of the
simple principles of good construc-
ton, which will be protection in
buying home.
"Top and Bottom construction
roof and foundation--m might be said
TO be the most important guides to
. good house, and your inspection
should start with these two elements.
First Of all look at the foundation
of the building. Any settling aJ this
point is certain to be reflected in
the super structure, no matter how
well the latter is built. 1t has been
found that in FL Centre, the most
satisfactory foundation for = resi-
dCnce is one constructed Of concrete
piers, properly spaced and sunk to
q depth sufficient to c0unteract the
hoaving of the soil occasioned by
moisture at the top of the ground.
Girders of proper size should span
these piers.
About half the weight of a build
ing is supported on the middle line
piers, which should be of the same
construction as those for the outside
wall. These piers support the sirders
on which the inner ends Of the floor
ieists rest, as well as the partitions

A typographical error in ] Circular No. 2, issued by the Alaska G me Commission supplementing it's current regulations on the taking of fur bearing animals threat ened to cause disaster to beaver colonies on the areas opened to beaver trapping, it was made known today from local headquarters of the Commission. Corrected circulars have been mailed to licensed trappers, licens- ing officers, wardens and otAer representatives of the Commission to offset the mistake.
 As printed by the Federal Government printing office, the circular read; Beaver may be taken only by the use of steel traps NOT more than 25 feet from any beaver house or den" It should have said: Beaver may be taken cnly by the use of steel traps more than 25 feet from any beaver house or den." The word Not was enormously inserted.

Brooklyn Society of Etchers. He Is not q
prolific producer, publishing only few etch-
ings each year.
Ruel P. Tolman, head of the division of
graphic arts of the United States National Mu-
scum under whose direction this exhibition Is
set forth, says of Mr.. Weber: "He tries to
choose subjects not often done by others. After
months of portrait work In fashionable South
ampton he revels in roaming over the Long
Island fields Or he takes refuge from the
noise Of New York in the quiet rooms of the
Metropolitan Museum. For five years his studio
was in 81 Gran1ercy Park and he etched this
part of Old New York with love which won
for him membership in the Society OF Patri-
otto New Workers, founded by Mrs John King
Van Rensselaer, for the purpose OF restoring the
Oracle mansion. Light and weather interest
him more than anything else. He does his
etchings nearly always on the spot, not from
drawings, and often without making prelim-
mary studies. 1t was Sorolla who advised him
to always have his subject before him In order
to obtain the qualities OF life and ViUdnesS
which he admires; and he keeps in mind the
saying of Velasquez: i hold to the principle
that Nature should be chief master, and swear
neither to draw nor to paint anything which
Is not before me-"
But Mr.. Weber lays down no rules for others.
He believes that every artist should follow his
own tastes and find his own individual method
Of expression
So complete an exposition of an artists work
is unusual. The fact that the collection is ar
ranged chronologically according to the date OF
production adds greatly to its interest.

Both Miss Keplinger and Roy Clark are like
wise represented, and perhaps even more notably
in the large gallery, where the former shows
beautifully painted boat picture, Gloucester
Derelict" the latter a spontaneous study or
trees and grass by the sea. Miss Keplinger
also has to her credit very colorfuI and ex-
cellent study Of zinnias, which hangs to the
left of the doorway as one enters the reception
room.
A place of honor over the mantel in the re-
ception room has been assigned to painting
of deIphini,ln by Elizabeth MuIhofer, which
might well have been entitled "A Study In

shows an interesting picture Of Twisted

a beautiful still life study, "The Blue Fan" in

Notable in the gallery are two strong and SIG

LARGEST SNOW OF YEAR
FALLS HERE ON SUNDAY
Heavy Drifts Caused by High
Winds Bring Out Snow Flows

Oakland and the entire Allegheny
mountain section west of Frostburg
was visited by the heaviest snowfall
of the winter which reached nearly a
foot in depth. The snow began fall
ing on Sunday and several more in
ches more fell Monday night and
Tuesday.
The State Roads Commission had
six trucks and two ten-ton tractors
out Monday keeping open the road to
Keyser's Ridge, and the National
Highway, as the high winds caused
heavy drifts. In the vicinity of Kitz-
miller, similar conditions were repor-
ted. There is practically no snow east
of Cumberland and the roads are
clear.
Bayard, W. Va, was visited by one
of the worst storms of the season on
Sunday and Monday. About eight
inches of snow fell, accompanied by
extremely high winds, and tempera-
ture Sunday night of zero made the
going uncomfortable. Many cars were
tied up along the Northwestern Pike,
the binding snow making travel too
dangerous to attempt over the noun
tain.
