MODERN STUCCO
HOUSE DURABLE

1t is a far step from the dwell

TO the houses of today, and yet the

" every one of our modern types of
building had its forerunner in the
old, old days. And there are many
who emphatically assert that this old

still to find its peer in cool comfort
for the torrid summers of tropical
countries.
The first use of stucco in this
country dates from Colonial and
Revolutionary times. In some local
tiles excellently preserved examples
Of early stucco houses may still be
found In Germantown. near Phila-
delphia. many beautigal old stucco
residences still exist. The stucco coat
in these houses undoubtedly was pro

probably also to allow the use of

I. Y. Hardware
Display Wins

Word has just been received by
Warren Currier, sales manager Of
the |. V. Hardware Co., that the
cOmpany's recent window display Of
"Congoleum" has won one of the
national awards which carries q $50
cash prize. e.
The display was installed by
Frank j. Reynolds at the e>company's
Yuma furniture store where 'Rey-
nolds is now manager.
1t is interesting to Imperial Val
ley people to know that Boulder dam
was the theme, of the prize winning
display. The vivid representation
of this important project was por:
etraycd by using various patterns
Of Congoleum, showing the canyon,
mountains, and a lake at the back.
A large card carried the message
"Congoleumn and Boulder Dam ara
nationally approved"
Reynolds is to be congratulated
upon the novel display as well as be.
ing able to win so substantial prize
in n contest that produced special
display efforts in stores all over the
United States.
Frank Reynolds has an enviable
record in prize winning window dis.
plays. In 1924 he won first grand
prize, Ford car, in Congoleum
window display contest, while he was
manager of his company's furniture
department at Brawley. He has
since that time won other prizes in
this field and always produces some
unusual effect.

SOWING GARDEN
SEED REQUIRES
BIT OF THOUGHT
BY Margaret Wheatly

Since the advent of so many me
ohancal machines for the sowing of
seed, the hand sowing of broad acres
Of grain has become Il lost art How
ever, the home gardener generally
,ows the seed which he plants by
;land, although there is tiny de-
vice on the market for sowing in
the home garden which closely re-
scmbles those pipe holders we give
or husbands for thristas and birth
days. to save the finish on tables
or chair arms. A few words to the
persons who still like to SOW their
seed by hand, might not be amiss,
Tor many of us enjoy telling the tiny
seds slip through our fingers one,
two, three to the inch of fnrfow.
With seeds large enough to be
seen such as the holvhock, calendula,
etc., or seeds of light color. it is
easy 10 distinguish the number
which are falling, but with those
minute seeds, such as the pctunia,
! one needs some assistance. A very
i useful aid is to mix white sand with

how many seeds are being sown. This
method is recommended bv some of
the growers of packet seeds. Unless

I The simple cultural directions on the
envelope IN which the seeds arc
! packed, will, if followed, help yor
to succeed with the particular va
ricty.
! A good example of this is to be
found on the packet in which dahlia
seed is sold. One grower has this
to say under the directions for cul
ture: "Plant as soon as the leaves
start coming out on the decidious

Unsafe chimneys cause more
dwelling fires than any other single
factor. One such fire in six is the
result of defective chimney. The
remedy is simple. All chimneys
should be carried down to solid
foundation and not supported by
timber framing. All chimneys hav-
ing walls less than eight inches
thick, should be lined throughout
with fire.clay flue tile, which is OBJ
tainable from any lumber yard or

explanation of this that the floor
because of the harder usage it re-
ceives than other surfaces in the
room, requires greater protection.
Painted walls which are finished
with flat paint, not only give good
service, but are easier on the eyes
than walls finished wit ha high gloss
paint. While a gloss finish has the
advantage of being easier to wash
than walls finished with a high gloss
surface has ;:,e disadvantage of re-
flecting the light in spots instead
of reflecting it evenly as does the
flat surface.
Window castings, baseboards and
other woodwork in a room which
has painted walls should be painted
in lighter or darker shade of the
| wall shade. That is, if the walls are
done in light cream, the woodwork
| would be done in a darker shade Of
cream; if the walls are done IN an
ivory white, the woodwork can he
done in either an oyster white or Il
cream. 1t is better to choose a deli

Color schemes for dining rooms
are usually made with more Formal
color combinations than are those
used for the other rooms O: the

achieved with a brown taupe rug

since a great deal of the time is not
spent in the dining room, and the

How To Clean
Painted Walls
BY Lawrence H. Herman

When washing painted walls do
not attempt to wash individual spots,
hut clean the entire wall area.
Kitchen walls generally accumulate
!. thin coating of grease or smudge
created in cooking. A good clean.
ing solution for such surfaces can
be made as follows:
Proceed in the usual way to make
good suds by adding one ounce of
soap flakes to a pint Of warm water.
When the soap is thoroughly di.
solved add four ounces of tMrpen.
tine. Apply with a sponge or paint
brush. The soap will remove the
dirt while the turpentine will di.
solve the grease. The result will be
more than pleasing. When the sur.
face has been rinscd with sponge
dipped in clear warm water and
wiped down with a chamois (to pre-.
vent little globules of water from
forming spots), the walls will nave

painted. Try it at once and realize
what little effort is necessary to do
q hard job when proper material is
used.
Since the coating of grease which
forms on the walls tends to break
down the elements in the paint or
cnamel it is well to repeat this wash
ing every two months or so.

Reduced to simplest terms, modern

three coats of mixture of Portland
cement and sand, plastered upon lath
or upon masonry walls. The lath
may be wood, woven wire or Of ex-

may be brick, stone, clay-tile or con-
crete. Whatever the details, the
principles remain the same-the pro-
vision of a continuous, jointless cov-

Barns Desirable
For Dairy Cows

Dairy COWS should be housed in
warm, properly ventilated barns dur
ing the winter if they are to produce
hest results, according to an article
appearing in recent issue OF the
Wisconsin Agriculturist and Farmer.
"To get profitable returns from
the dairy COW in winter" this publ
cation states, "shc must be comfort
able. She cannot endure as much
cold as beef cow or fattenins

aware of this, but men who have re-
Gently changed from beef COWS to
high producing dairy cows, do not al
ways realize the difference that ex-
lists in the two classes of cattle. A
beef COW carries more fat under her
hide than dairy COW, and that fat
is q most excellent protection. The
COW with layer of fat under her
hide does not lose natural heat as
rapidly as one lacking in fat. Be.
cause of this the dairy COW should
be provided with comfortably
warm barn through the winter sea-
son.
"ln providing warm barn care
must be taken to furnish good ventil'
ation. While there must be no drafts
in the barn, circulation of air must
be provided for. 4 cow utiliZes a

large quantities of moisture. II
