Kitchen and bath room wainscotes
Of glass are attaining wide use, &C.
cording to . report to the American
Chemical Society by r. A. Miller Of
Pittsburgh. Having true plate glass
surfaces, the structural glass does not
absorb dirt. It's polish surfaces enables
the architects to secure decorative
effects unobtainable with window
glass.
Flesh-tinted. aquamarine, blue or
strikingly transparent glass Is finding
favor In decorative mirrors. Electro
copper plating Of the mirrors has added
tmmeasurably to the permanence of
the rejecting Aim and has increased
its resistance to damage from atmos.
pheric causes, Mr.. Miller says.
Heat absorbing glass which excludes
the warmth Of the sun, while transmit

q place in school rooms, ONCE build

loft and industrial buildings. Other
glasses allow O maximum of solar
radiation and act as . filter for the
selective transmission Of heat, ultra
violet, or visible light.
Glass brick, which are essentially
translucent bottles. glass wool, spun
glass and glass silk are all good In

OF the trees and again the trees are apt
TO root from the cion base and turn
INTO full size standard trees. The
latter diff1culty could easily be over
come by the nurseryman grating or
budding higher on the seeding stem.
Dwarf trees are kept small by a
shortage OF food provided by the small
rootstock and obviously II some roots
emerge from above the graft, growth
becomes that Of any vigorous tree.
Dwarf trees blossom sooner than
standard trees. which is a real adyan-
tage with apples and some other slow
to-bloom fruits. The life of dwarf
trees Is limited In comparison with
standard trees yet Is long enough to
insure sound return on the invest

per cent Of the number constructed
in England, where all possible and in.
telligent steps are taken to encourage
this important activity. The British
government does not interfere with,
!, but encourages, building by private
enterprise. British building societies
which provide 80 per cent of the home
financing lend on home mortgages at
AZ per cent interest rate, yet they
pay shareholders from to 81 per
cent. With but $2,500. 100000 worth
Of assets, these societies financed $780,
900 homes last year, or seven times the
number constructed in this country
by Government and private enterprise.
Increase in Families.
"A study projected to 1s45 shows
that we in America can expect an
increase of 100000 families in that
period. BY adding the accumulated
estimated shortage, and making reas-
enable allowances for vacancies and
families who cannot aspire to owner
ship of separate homes, it becomes
reasonable to assume that by 1945 our
requirements for residential units will
total 100000, an average need Of
100000 new homes per year.
with IS per cent Of the families
Of the Nation possessing incomes of
less than $4,000 per year. 1t becomes
obvious that home building efforts
must be planned in conformation with
the economic divisions Of our popula-
ton. According to the studies made
by the Committee for Economic Re-
covery, IS per cent Of our homes
should not cost over $1,000 and rs
per cent of our homes should not cost
over $1,000. II we can provide at
tractive and hvable homes within the |
purchasing power Of the masses, there
is no question Of finding willing buy
ers. In the mechanical refrigeration
industry in 1921. with an average
unit sales price Of $3.50, only 5000
units were disposed Of, at . total |
sales volume Of $2,75o000. In 1884.
with $172 unit sale, 1865, 900 units
were sold, aggregating $235, ,9s4. 900.
Still. approximately 90 per cent Of
the homes of the country do not en-
Joy this convenience. There is no
reason to believe that lower prices
and an improved product should not
appreciably increase the potential
volume in the housing industry as
well.

However. In 1925, October II brought

On the rose tables, Mrs. Pierre 8.

the finest flower. This variety Is q
consistent winner and captured the
highest honors at the Potomac Rose

Lilies," Department Of Agriculture
Circular IS; Garden Lilies" by
Isabella Preston; Lilies and Their
Culture in North America" by w. N.
Craig, and Garden Cinderella" by
Helen M. Fox.
The last decade. has witnessed Q
greatly increased interest In lilies,
brought about by the introduction Of
the regal lily from China and the
seedlings that have been produced
with the regal as one parent. In id.
dition there has been accumulated
more and more reliable information
on cultural requirements such as.
reaction Of the soil. depth Of planting
and propagation.
The tiger lily Is the easiest Of all
lilies to grow and perhaps the ease
with which this species Is handled has
been . handicap to lily growing In
general. AZ knowledge Of special re-
quirements Is gained. home gardeners
are finding that other lilies are not
impossible. The name LILY has been
used indiscriminatingly and includes
popularly the hemerocallis or day lily,
and hosta or funkta, the plantain lily
and other unrelated species. It would
lead to q better understanding II the
name was restricted closely to the
true lilies.
The Persimmons.
TWO types Of persimmons are
known to American gardeners, not
ably the native species which occurs
in nearby woods and the Oriental
form whose large orange colored fruits
are often seen on fruit stands. There
Is no comparison in quality. the hon.
ors going beyond question to the In
troduced species which has been i'm
proved by centuries of cultivation
whereas little attention has ever been
paid to the native fruit.
Some years ago, 1918 to be exact,
there was published q Farmers Bulletin
No. 685 on the native persimmon and
IN this paper there were described sew
eral named varieties but 1t Is doubtful
II any Of these could be purchased
today. The astringency of the fruit Of
the native persimmon is almost q by.
word, yet this characteristic is largely
lost in the very ripe fruit of many
trees. Bailey's Encyclopedia Of Horti-
culture states that the belief that the
fruits need to be exposed to frost to
attain edibility Is erroneous but that
Is simply . need Of fun maturity
that Is often not reached until very
late. Because Of . long tap root the
persimmon Is exceedingly dificult to
transplant unless 1t has been grown In
the nursery and moved regularly when
young.
The Oriental persimmon Is really q
desirable fruit but Is scarcely hardy
In this latitude. It can be readily
grated on native persimmon roots but
attempts TO hybredise the Oriental and
American species are said by Bailey to
have been wholly unsuccessful. There
are so many other fine fruits available
at the same season rs the Oriental
persimmon that 1t appears doubtful

and ramble almost everywhere, even
back to the soil where the tips may
take root.
With varieties Of q strong mildew
tendency such as Dorothy Perkins,
thick oyergrowth is certain to lead to
such q disease but where the canes
are thinned and spaced, air and suy-
light can penetrate in the Spring and
help hold the mildew in check.
Flowers and Shade.
WITH the dropping of the leaves
w from the oaks and other large
shade trees. the low growing plants
gain an opportunity to receive their
share Of sunlight. During the Spring
period before leaves again appear, gar
dens of Spring bulbs and hardy peren-
niak such as columbine, iris and pyre-
thr,lms flourish. Thus 1t becomes
question of careful selection of species
for the shaded situations.
Among species frequently recon-
mended for shaded gardens are Of
course the Spring bulbs such as mar.
cissus, tulips and hyacinths. the Jap
anese anemone, beebalm, foxglove,
plantain lily, columbine, pansy, lily
of-the- valley. monkshood. ferns, day
lilies or Hemerocallis. bleeding heart,
forget-me-nots and japanese balloon
flower or Platycodon. On the other
hand 1t Is almost useless to attempt
to grow sun loving plants such as the
rose, the water lily, the dahlia and the
peony under trees. Chrysanthemums
do fairly well, but tend to grow too tall
and spindly.
Dwarf Fruit Trees.
DWARF fruit trees would seem to
meet the ideals Of the suburban
garden because Of their smaller size
and earlier fruiting. Yet there are
probably no more dwarf trees today
than there were two decades ago. The
reasons for this lack of interest are
twofold at least. Price has usually

sure year-round transportation. Plainly the pilots and operators who have gone to Alaska and mas tered the technique of Arctic flying and developed the equipment that was required to face temperatures of 50 degrees below zero and snow falls of 10 feet or more have done remarkable piece of work Plain ly the greatest need in order that the transport service may be im- proved and extended is an improve ment and extension of airWay fac ilities. Upon those points we en- tertain no doubt whatever.
 In this connection we wish to ex- press our special commentator of the experimental operations of the Army and Navy in Alaska, and to endorse the recommendation of the Baker Board that military air op- erations in the territory should be put on a year-round basis on a substantial scale of a means of training personnel to operate un- der Arctic conditions and of devel- oping specialized equipment neces- sary for such operation. In the same connection, we single out for commendation also the Nays plan to sent an aircraft carried upon a cruise in northern waters in mid winter to acquire experience in car
