FOR KILLING CRAB GRASS
Badly Infested Lawns Must Be
Raked and ALI Cuttings
Burned.

To get rid Of crab grass In the
lawn. the best means is to pull the
young blades as they appear. But
II the pest is widespread and has
started to seed, less tiresone means
may be used, according to Lawn
Care, published by o. M. Scott 81
Sons, MarysviIle. Ohio.
Lawns badly infested with crab
grass must be raked both ways so
that the tops win be cut by the
mower. Use a grass catcher on the
mower and burn the cuttings,
Applications of complete fertilizers
and ammonium sulphate do not kill
the crab grass but make the other
grass In the lawn grow more vigor-
ously and crowd out the crab grass.
If a fertilizer Is applied slightly

manufacturer, crab grass and the
other grass viii burn, but blue grass
in the lawn will recover in q couple
of weeks. while the seed from the
crab grass will have been killed.

Robert Anderson, In command Of

firing worker for the establishment Of
Solciers' Home.
Relatives Of Anderson and others
claim he was the founder Of the
home, and there are books of docu-
ments purporting to prove this, but
the credit usually goes to Gen. Win
field Scott. The Anderson House
was the first building at the home and
for many years was the only one.
Andersons father was a soldier In
the Revolution, and the Civil War
general always had thoughts Of the
old soldiers uppermost in his mind.
After his graduation from West Point
In 1925 he began to shape plans to
carry out his idea. Congress passed
the bill authorizing It's establishment
In 1881. but Anderson's name did not
appear ON 1t. The money used was a

According to an article, in The Star
on August Is. 1915. the building at
that time often was mentioned as
suitable for q Summer White House.
AS a matter of fact, Presidents
Buchanan. Arthur and Hayes passed
the Summers there during their ad-
ministrations.
In fact" The Star article says,
the custom Of the country's rulers
to have o special home for the Sum-
mer months at g mountain or seaside
resort Is a comparatively new one.
At the time when the Anderson house
was used for this purpose the various
methods of alleviating the heat OF the
Summer season were not as perfect
as now. The management Of Soldiers
Home, an institution of the Regular
Army. thought it fitting that the
President, MS commander In chief,
should accept the hospitality of this
delightful place. and it was in many
instances accepted and appreciated. :"

WOOD RESIDENCES
LEAD IN AMERICA
81 Per Cent Frame Con-
struction Found in 63
Cities of Nation.

Wood Is the most popular building
material used in home construction IN
America.
According to figures tsbulated un-
der the direction Of Daniel z. Casey,
director Of the real property inven-
tory unit Of the Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce. more than
81 per cent Of all the residential
properties IN IS cities are Of frame
construction.
The So cities were selected 30 that
all sections of the country would be
represented and totals for them al
are considered a fair cross-section Of
the entire country. Altogether l.
72e,57l dwelling structures were sur
veyed. OF these 1.4o4.4 .466 were built
Of wood
Brisk In Second Place.
Brick ranks second. although five
cities had more Of this type structure
than they had Of wood. Frederick
and Hagerstown, Md. were In this
group. Frederick, incidentally. led the
country In the proportion Of brick
structures with til per cent Of its
homes made Of brick.
The others in which brick ranked
first were Salt Lake City. Sante Fe,
and Wilmington, Del. The total num-
Der Of brick dwellings surveyed was
iae.167.
Stucco construction ranked third,
although in IS cities this type Of home
was second, relocating brick to third
position These cities were st. Paul.

nix, Ariz.: Sacramento, San Diego,
Topeka, Des Moines, Albuquerque. N.
Mex: Baton Rouge. La: Fargo. N.

Altogether there were f14,522
stucco dwellings listed in the survey.
Minneapolis had the largest number
Of this type with 34.181. Several Of
the e3 cities had more than 1000 such
structures each.
Concrete h Fourth.
Concrete ranked fourth, with q
total Of only 7.229 for all Of the cities
included In the study. Stone. likewise.
had but q small place in the survey
with only ATT such dwellings, counted.
Altogether there were lo.500 DWELL
ings representing other types Of con-
struction, and nearly one-third OF
these were in Alnuquerque and Santa
Fe and were made of adobe or sun
dried brick.
In announcing the figures, Casey
pointed out that the type Of con-
struction reported referred to the
principal material employed and that
in frame construction bricks for foun.
dation and chimneys are used, and
similarly in brick houses much hum
Der is likewise utilized.

T%HE trying days Of Lincolns ad-
rainfstratton each day became
more dtmcult He wanted 70
IL get out OF the city 10 some cool
retreat where he could think
and rest-and devise a way TO save
the Union. To this desire can the
Anderson House attribute It's claim TO
fame.
It was the Summer OF 1852. more
than o year after the first shot was
fired ct Fort Sumter. The war had
been raging since and a method to
keep the Nation from being torn CON-
pletely in two was imperative.
Soldiers Home had been estab-
hshed only a few years. It's cool
shade offered q retreat, not far from
the White House, where the Chief
Executive could work, meet his ad-
visers and mediate upon the urgent
problems before him
AS commander In chief Of the
Army. the management of the home
offered him the use Of Anderson
House for his Summer White House.

lanation during June of that year.
however, that the document first
was discussed with members Of his
cabinet. and it was September be-
fore the public knew about it.
This task must have been upper
most In his mind during the days he
spent at the home. as a letter to
Horace Greeley at the time contains
many of his thoughts on the problem:
"If there be those who would not
save the Union unless at the same
time save slavery, I don't agree with
them. If there be those who would
not save the Union unless at the same
time they could destroy, slavery, ]
don't agree with them. My para
mount object is to save the Union.

oil the slaves, would do it. II ]

and thus save the Union, would do
that. what do regarding slavery

the Union. ] viii do less whenever ]

cause. ! win do more whenever ] feel
doing more win help the cause
This letter was written. probably In
the Anderson House. In July. a month
after the proclamation was drafted.
After the battle Of Antietam In Sep
tember, when Lincoln heard Lees
army had been driven out OF Mary
land across the Potomac, he called
bis cabinet together again and pre-
sented the proclamation.
