THE ROUSE GROWS

THE HOUSE GROWS
 In i've, ten or fifteen years. the family having increased and the purse expanded, the house grows. In the simplest manner it sprouts two wings of, equal length that maintain the symmetrical design of the original house. The right wing houses the garage and . new kitchen. The ! former kitchen becomes a pantry. connecting with the garage by way of an outside passage across the front face of the new kitchen. A service stair to the second floor and a stair way to the basement both begin in the pantry.
 In the left wing . hall leads from . the living room to a library. A flower on the garden side.
 On the second floor. what was the maids room Is now occupied by serv- ! old guest room Is enlarged into nurs- cry by moving the bathroom into the wing. Provision is made for two servants rooms with bath. At the other end of this wing we find spare room and bath. with closets under the caves.
 The house can be built of several kinds of materials--common brick whitewashed, stone whitewashed, stucco on hollow tile or expanded metal. and. finally. shiplap-iiat the last material the corner quoins would also be of wood. custom often followed in Colonial houses. The roof is of shingle tile in reddish brown tone. the cornice of brick or cast stone, and the gutters copper or lead- coated copper. The entrance trim is wood painted white. Windows may be wood or metal easements in the French style. The long windows on the rear would be preferably wood. Chimneys are brick whitewashed, and weather faced stone is used for steps ana paving.
 The body color of the house Is de- signed to be white with green sash, shutters and doors, although it might be tinted pink with barn red trim, or even faded blue trim when the house is completed.
 The heating system can be vapor or vacuum with an oil or gas burner. Throughout, the floors would be oak, with linoleum tile in kitchen, pantry and bathrooms. -sThe walls would be finished with hard white plaster. Both living room and dining room call for wood cornice and chair rail; the library is designed to be pane1ed with bookcases built into the walls. Bathrooms are all tiled up to the required height and can be paint ed above that or papered with one of the new waterproof wall coverings.

THE GROUNDS

! THE GROUNDS
 The grounds present an interesting
 problem in gradual development. The entire property is enclosed to assure
 privacy. For the beginning years this lcould be adequately done with woven
 French fencing. The entrance drive
 way that curves around to the front door would not be affected by the
 type of material used. Later on. this
 fence could be supplanted with a brick wall finished with the same til-
 ing as the roof, or it might be built
 of wood set up in dignified architec-
 tural panels, 8 custom found in Georgian houses in New England and
 some houses on the Continent. Ex-
 cept for trees and clumps of shrub lbery placed at accent intervals, there is little planting in the front area.
 Two cast iron vases filled with ever
 greens stand each side of the en- trance door. The rest is lawn.
 As first designed, the rear of the house is finished with small paved 1 terrace. This is extended the entire
 length when the house is completed.
 Prior to that time the temporary
 garage might stand at the rear of the
 property. reached by a drive directly from the street entrance. With the ,new wing added, the garage becomes ian integral part of the house, and
 behind it is a drying yard and vegetable garden. The old garage is turned into $ tool house, balanced on the other corner of the property by "a tea house of identical size and de- sign. In the finished scheme each of these is reached by a paved walk be- heath grape arbor of cedar posts. | The paving is also extended around the rear between the two garden structures and on the back wall a !, fountain plays into a semi-circular | basin.
 The middle area of the garden is | a flat square of turf relieved in the | center by a circular lily pond rimmed | with stone slabs. This tapis vert is | edged with low clipped Box or | Japanese Few. On each side, between | this edging and the arbors and facing | down the paved terrace at the rear of | the house, is a perennial border. The | plan suggests one step down from | the terrace to the level of the lawn, a desirable feature if the lay of the | land makes this possible .,p-e
 These flower borders offer enough l advantages for gardening to a busy 1 husband and wife. While the back | bone of the planting would be peren- | nials that would stay in their position | and increase from year to year, there | would still be plenty of room for | slipping in shoals of bulbs and an- nuals to follow them.

HALL OF FAME
 FOR DOGS AT
 YALE POPULAR

New Haven-(UP)-A hall of fame as exclusive as the social reg ister is maintained at Yale for the preservation of skeletons and stuff fed specimens of champion dogs.
 Dog owners of the country be- siege Peabody museum of Yale to preserve their pets for posterity. Only the finest of champions are accepted as a rule. One exception has been made in Togo Alaska sled dog that carried serum to Nome in an epidemic of disease.
 The idea is that of Leon F. Whitney. famous eugenicist and dog breeder. It grieved him to think that 500, or more years hence there would be no examples of the dogs of the current age. He preached his plan to museum ofn-
 The first dog selected was Ida hurst Lofty. considered the best cocker spaniel in America, from the kennels of Mrs o. B. Gilman of Boston. Soon scores of dog own CTS were asking that their pets be placed on the waiting list.
 The process of choosing a dog for the collection is conducted with the care of diplomats nego.. tiating for the marriage of royal house. ..,o .A
 Mountings cost about $2oo to $500 for each animal. A plaster cast is made of the naimal Then the dog is skinned and the sktn tanned. The skeleton is mounted in a life-like posture. A paper mache model is made from the cast. The paper mache model IS mounted over the skeleton and the hide is glued over all. Whenever nossible the dogs owner is present to assist the taxidermists in pro ducing an exact duplicate Of the champion.

 New York, Oct 1.-(UP)-If 1 were to be dictator I would first of all try to improve the material with which I would have to oper- ate.
 Healthy, vital, vigorous, splendid types of healthy humanity are in love with life. The inclination of such people is to live and let live.
 Therefore. the efforts that I would make first attempt an edu- cational procedure that would give every man and woman normal heritage of physical wealth; fine. strong and dynamically vital speci- mems of human life. The prudery and obscenity that have come down to us from the dark ages would be cast into eter- nal oblivion.
 I would insist upon acquiring an affection for the sun, the giver of life, of energy. The body can absorb energy directly from sum- light; T. would advocate clothing that would allow the sun to pene- trate; scanty attire would be en- couraged to allow this great force to vitalize the body.
 I would insist upon the use only of wholesome foods, rich in these vital-building elements that build strong, splendid bodies. I would insist upon bringing the joyous delights that many religion ists save for the heavenly realms down to earth.
 Governmental restrictions should be few and fundamental in theil requirements. The ten command. ments of biblical times would
 largely cover my legislative re- quirements; justice, and still more justice, with the elimination ot every tendency, regardless of it:
 nature, which would interfere /, with its administration. l There are two poisons that have crept into our social, business anC political activities that I would trample out with a capital penalty I refer to graft and disloyalty, in sidious, malignant forces that in
 wade and destroy every phase O
 life with which they come in con
 tact. Electrocution or hanging
 should be the penalty for the sec
 on or third offense of this char
 acter.
 The fact that people should no
 be governed like a lot of schoo
 children. would be thoroughly re
 cognized.

2 of my friends about kruschen and they find it as I do."
 Unlike other salts, Kruschen doesn't aim to reduce by rushing food through the system-rather it's a superbly blended combina- tion of SIX separate mineral salts which help glands and body or- ans to function properly-that's why it's so amazingly successful in cases where everything else has failed!
 Get an S5c bottle of KRUSCHEN SALTS at Carroll's Cut Rate Store (lasts 4 weeks). If this first bottle doesn't convince you this is the easiest, safest and surest way to lose fat-if you don't feel a superb improvement in health--so glori- ously energetic--vigorously alive your money gladly returned.

into the agreement if it proves successful.
 If the star is the sole drawing power of the play then there is a percentage of the box office re- ceipts, but the actual salary will remain limited to $20 a day. Fur thermore, the producer has the right to determine whether the star really has more drawing pow CT than the production itself.
 Objections to this agreement have already been voiced by members of the Union des Artistes, to which most of the actors and actresses here belong. They generally ex- press the fear that some directors will take advantage of this special reduction to cut salaries.
