hardly been scratched, is coming to

try In many cities.

Right Care of Property
Obligation of Owner

A house receiving proper care will
last much longer than the one that
is neglected, is the trite reminder adj
dressed to home owners by the Nation
al Association Of Real Estate Boards
in one Of its series of articles on
Looking Into Real Estate"
ain the year 1897, in the twenty
fourth chapter Of the English statutes
of Marlbridge, It was provided that
tenant damaging or wasting his prop
erty be fined and deprived of his hold
ings," the association writes. "All land
then was owned under the feudal sys-
TEN and being a life tenant was as
near to property ownership as most
people could get. But this ancient
statute shows that even in those far
of times people were conscious of the
possibilities Of depreciation and did
what they could, through such regula-
ton, to conserve real property.
"Care of the home and property
means keeping an eye out for many
things. 1t may look like lot Of work
but, spread over the year, 1t really
isn't so much. Furthermore, such work
is building up an equity, figured from
the point Of view Of the continuing
endurance of your domicile. and you
are willing to work for equity in other
things. If your house lasts longer. you
will have your investment longer, and
enjoy your home more"

Rcautifying Highways

To its world leadership iii good

to add supremacy in beautiful roads.
Dressing up the highways is seen
by Thomas H. Macdonald. chief of
the bureau of public roads, as the
next step after establishment of smooth
roadbeds and easy grades.
State highway departments have
chosen to organize their own programs
of applying makeup to nature" but
federal assistance is available for
planting shade trees along routes of

Two Freakish Forms of
South Atlantic Birds

Pengulns are strange birds. They
use their wings for swimming in
stead Of for flying. They are found
in the seas Of the southern hemi-
sphere, and range in size from the
emperor penguin. who stands four
feet high, to little fellows hardly
larger than an ordinary duck. The
legs Of the penguin are set very far
back, and on land they waddle and
shuttle about In the most mirth-pro-
voking manner, holding their bodies
upright. The king penguin, which
comes from the South Atlantic is
lands, stands over two feet in height,
and has a long bill and bright or
ange chest. Another strange bird SIM
liar in many ways to the penguin is
the steamer duck. He gets his funny
name from his rapid and splashy
way of swimming, just like an old
fashioned paddle steamer.
