in place, but it is more convenient to
make fast the horizontal strips first.
The vertical ones can be nailed by
holding a hammer or piece Of iron be-
hind the joint. This iron will bend
suits If the nails are only long enough
to extend through. A neater job re-
suits if the nails are only longh enough
TO reach through the two thicknesses.
The fence can be made in the same
design. 1t is best to use posts four by
four inches, spaced not more than six
feet apart. The caps and base plates
are two by four inches and the caps
should each extend over two sections Of
the fence to help give 1t rigidity. The
same wDy as those used for the en-
trance.
Arch Can Be Used.
An arch can be used for number
of purposes. BY placing a section Of
lattice in the back. similar to that in
the sides, 1t can be made to serve as
an arbor in front of the pool or backed
against hedge. If it Is built longer
and wider it can be made an attractive
place In which to eat the outdoor meal.
A simple entrance is the arched gate,
which can be used in the same fence.
The posts should be about four inches
square and seven feet long. This al
lows 18 inches underground and the
places under side of the arch seven
feet above the ground. The posts are
spaced two feet eight inches apart.
and the radius Of the under side of
the arch is one foot four inches. The
top Of the gate has the same radius.
The arch should be constructed Of
solid pieces and the gate is made Of
three quarter Inch wood Of various
widths, from three to five inches, or
all can be made of the same width.

Is YEARS AGO
Local Real Estate

What has been done along the river
front in what is now known as Potomac
Park is a revelation of the possibilities
in localities that appear hopelessly
abandoned" says news item in the
real estate section of The Star of May
80, 1908.
"The commission that has recently
reported to the Commissioners Of the
District has made a study of the stu
alton in the Washington channel and
the water front south of the Eastern
Branch extending north and south
from Giesboro Point.
THE importance of the reclamation
of the Eastern Branch fats was not
overlooked The commission also called
attention to the desirability of the Dis
trict securing control of the entire
water frontage of Georgetown or that
portion of the river from Easbys Point
to and above Aqueduct Bridge.
'The scope Of the report also in
cluded the Virginia side of the river
opposite the city and also Analostan
Island as desirable to come within pub
lie control in order that the entire
river frontage might be improved with
modern and slightly docks, and also
where it seems feasible such sections
may be so planned as to be available
for the use and the enjoyment OF the
public"

HOME RENOVIZING PLAN SPURS
MOVE TO MODERNIZE KITCHENS
Gas and Electric Companies Use Models Built Into
Trucks to Stimulate Drive.

Spurred by the "renovize your home"
campaign. an extensive trend has de-
veloped toward undermining the kitchen
which is the workshop of the worlds
greatest occupational group.
Model kitchens are being displayed in
some of Americas largest department
stores Gas and electric companies have
begun to feature them in their adver-
tising. These kitchens have been built
into trucks SO people in smaller COM
munities may know what an efficient
workshop this usually neglected room
may be. Large estates and companies
which rent homes have begun to
beautify the kitchen in order to make
the whole house more attractive to the
prospective tenant or buyer.
In line with this awakening interest
in the kitchen, the United States Bu-
reau of Home Economics, at the sug-
gestion of the Presidents Conference
on Home Ownership and Home Con-
struction, studied the amount of time
the housewife spends ut the sink. Dr..
Louise Stanley, head of the bureau, re-
porting the results in the Journal OF
Home Economics, said the photo-elec-
trio eye had been used to get record
of every trip to the sink and of the
total time spent there. 1t was found,
according to her report, that, for each
member of her family, the average
housewife makes 18 trips day to the
sink. spending an average of one min

The caps which are nailed to the tops
of the posts are also Of siX-inch square
material and extend six inches beyond
the post at each end. The pieces i'm

HOTEL PURCHASES
SPURRED BY BEER
S25, 100000 Spent in rs
States and District During
Past Five Weeks.

Legalization Of 3.2 per cent beer has
been responsible for the expenditure Of
s25,oOO,0 600 by hotels and restaurants
during the last five weeks in 25 States
and the District of Columbia, according
to figures compiled by the Ahrens Pub
fishing Co of New York, publishers Of
hotel and restaurant magazines.
Less than one-third of this sum. or
S7,9l7.000, was expended nationally
during all of 1882 for new hotel build
ings and undermining existing hotels
according to F. w Dodge Corporation
building reports. Thus far only the
surface has been scraped in this gigan-
tic new market for building materials
and equipment. in the opinion of Ed
ward H Ahrens publisher. and the sur
vey indicates that at least $75,000,000
more will be spent within the next few
months.
What Statistics Show.
According to the detailed figures COM
piled over the last five weeks, in the 25
States and the Capital the projects un-

restaurants involve S96,570,y00. A tab

\ n comes to the homeowner,
wv usually a start is made in
Y the bath room or in the
kitchen. This is quite natu-
raj because so many of the houses
built from 10 to 20 years ago have
plumbing fixtures that were all right in
their day, but are now hopelessly out
of date. Probably nothing in the house
has changed SO much in the last few
years as plumbing.
The pictures show how completely a
bath room may be transformed under
the direction of a skillful master
plumber The old bath room shown in
the illustration to the left was typical
of the bath room of Is years ago Be-
cause the house was in a good location
and we'll constructed the homeowner
decided to modernize it.
He started in the bath room. The old
tub, lavatory and closet were torn out
and replaced with modern fixtures. A
built-in tub with an overhead shower
took the place of the old tub ON legs
and the old wall-hung lavatory was re-
placed with a modern pedestal lavatory.
The noisy and unsatisfactory old closet
was replaced with a quiet, siphon-jet
toilet.
The old bath room had jog in the
end of the room because of a small
closet used for linens and medicines.
The plumbing contractor suggested that
the closet be taken out and the size
of the bath room increased to by 9
feet.
Unless one has had some personal
experience with bath room undermining.
one is likely to have mistaken idea as
to how much it will cost. Today with
plumbing fixtures selling for 43 per cent
less than during the time when the
building boom was at its height, and
with labor working with pre-war ef-
ficiency, any one can have a bath room
modernized or an extra bath room in
stalled at cost which is very small In
comparison with the increased salts
faction, convenience, and the enhance
