or made. A nesting cook kit designed
for camping is a convenience. A good
outfit can be assembled in any dime-to-
dollar store, including enamelware cups,
plates and soup bowls.
Camping Deluxe
While tent camping is more of a
change from homelife, and will be en-
joyed for its novelty by the youngsters,
elderly folks on an extended tour will
appreciate the greater comforts of the
camp trailer. Now that cars are fitted
with four brakes, and good roads ex-
: tend IN all directions, the properly de-
signed camp trailer is no burden. 1t is a
relief to passengers to have the entire
camping outfit in single unit back of
the car instead of piled up in the ton
neau and on running-boards.
The fold-down camp trailers with
their canvas tops, are lighter and COM
Portable for ordinary camping trips.
Camp coaches are more bulky and
heavy, but represent the last word is de-
luxe camping facilities. They are fitted
with Pullman type beds, breakfast room,
kitchenette, refrigerator, water tank,
cabinets, drawers and clothes lockers.
Some have heating stove and bath
room. The cost of factory jobs range
from $500 up.
While camp life is interesting, there
should be some objective to camping
trip. Usually it is sightseeing, or it may
be fishing trip, or tour of national
parks.
It's a good idea to try new equip
ment out near home, before leaving OH
an extended trip. Rely OH checklist
to avoid forgetting such essentials as
matches, salt and the money bag.

First thing to learn in drivin' car is

The boil weevil may also be credited
with another isdirect accomplishment
organization of the All Clubs.
read how in 1903 when the boil
weevil became a serious menace the De
partment of Agriculture assigned DR..
Seaman A. Knapp to the task OF finding
out what could be done to produce cot
ton under boil weevil conditions.
He worked out plan calling for ro-
tation of crops, better tillage, and pro-
duction of homegrown crops and feeds.
The problem was to get farmers to adopt
his plan. He decided the best way to i'm
press them with its advantages would be
through actual demonstrations ON farms.
DIR. Knapp was particularly anxious
to get farmers TO grow more corn. To
carry out this aim Boys Corn Clubs
were organized over the South.
The Knapp idea of crop rotation was
never able to stop the pesky boil weevil,
but Dr. Knapp did something that has
placed his name among the immortals =
he organized what has since become the
All Clubs which now dot rural sections
of the nation with approximately mil
lion members.
Remember Columbus never found the
short route to India he was seeking
but discovered a New World of much

BETWEEN THE ROWS
By Roy H. Park

Down in Enterprise, Alabama, a few
years ago they erected a monument to
the boil weevil because the keen appe-
tlte of this pesky insect was the only
thing that was evtr able to convince
farmers they must diversity their crops.
The monument is in the main part
of town and bears this inscription: "In
profound appreciation of the boil weevil
and what it has done as the herald of
prosperity"

1t may have been one of those girls
making her first visit to the country,
staying with her uncle in West Virginia,
and was much interested in everything
she saw.
"Oh, what funny looking cow!" she
exclaimed. why hasn't it any horns?'
There are several reasons" answered
the uncle why cow don't have horns.
Some are born without horns and don't
have any till the late years of their life.
Others have their horns taken off. Some
breeds are not supposed to have any
horns. So there are many reasons why
cow sometimes does not have horns, but
the chief reason why this cow doesn't
have horns is that it isn't cow at all.
It's a horse"

MANY FACTORS
 CONSIDERED IN
 LAYING FLOORS
Three Propos si lions Con- front Builders. Pres
 ent Day Homes

When it comes to deciding what to do about wood floors in a new house, there are several things that must be considered; first, shall they be single or double floors? Second, what kind of wood shall be used for the finish floor? And, third, how shall they be finished?
 In deciding the first question the fact that double floors have a three-fold purpose must be borne in mind. Put on diagonally they act as a structural brace to the whole frame. They add sound deadening and they keep down dust penetration So if the budget per mits, double floors should be in- cluded throughout. If economies must be made, omit the subfloor on the second floor, for if the house has cellar, considerable dust will penetrate to the first floor if only a single floor is installed; and if there is no cellar, then the subfloor is needed as insulation In fact, in this case an insulation board may be used as a subfloor
 If the floors are to be covered with linoleum or carpet or some other covering, a flat-grained soft wood floor may be used. If not, it

HEATING OF
 HOMES NOW
 BIG SUBJECT
Importance e Has Grown Over Recent Years
 Cooling Important

The heating of the modern home is a much more important factor than it was few years ago. Our forebears had open fireplaces and did not skimp on 'underthings, in- cluding skirts, and they got along very comfortably.
 Then that inventive genius, Ben jamin Franklin, invented an iron stove to hook onto the fireplace and bring the fire further into the room. The stove being of cast iron the heat given forth was infinitely greater than that from the old fire place.
 Next the globe stove was detach- ed completely from the fireplace, the fireplace was closed up, anc that generation eased up on under garments and looked with amused indulgence on those rude grand parents who knew not the luXurJ that they enjoyed.
 Central heating in the form of the old hot air" furnace that min gled coal gas and ashes with it's warmth put the stove practically in the discard, and for years our brownstone front houses were hon. eycombed with a multiplicity of ducts that not only distributed the heat with its accompanying nui- sances but allowed those on the second floor to listen in on tn. conversations in the parlor below.
 As the ladies became more con- scious of the beauties of the slim profile, need of more heat became acute. So warm air was eclipSed by steam heat, and thirty years ago this item was the main claim tc modernism in all real estate ad vertisements. Then complication set in; hot-water, indirect radia- ton, vapor, concealed radiators thermostatS, and innumerable gad- gets appeared on the scene. Anc now the once-despised hot air furnace has como back in the new guise of ir-conditioning
 From being an incidental adjunct to the house, the heating-and now the cooking as well-has become one of its principal considerations The average layman has only vague idea of what air condition ing" means. To most it embrac- es only-or principally-the Sum- mer cooling, while as a matter O. fact that is only a small part The main function of air-condi- tioning is the warming, cleaning and humidifying of the air in Win ter. Summer cooling would only be operative, in most parts of the country, for few weeks in the year, while the heating would function for many months.
 Another advantage of modern times is the Modernization Credit Plan of the Federal Housing Ad- ministration. Under this system insured funds may be obtained for installing heating and cooling system in your home. The loan may be repaid in equal monthly in- stallments over a period of three to five years.

is better to use either an edge grained wood or one of the hard woods, as the flat grain may raise and splinter. These come in vary ing degrees of cost, and the better grades are well worth the differ ence if the budget allows the ex- penditure.
 As for finish, a waxed surface is wanted in most cases. Just what sort of a base should be laid for the wax is a matter of opinion. Except with flat-grained wood a filler should be used first. With this filler there should be degree of stain to darken the floors. The amount of the darkening is mat ter of taste, but floors should not be left entirely unstained, as dark cnes set off the rugs and give greater depth to the room and are altogether preferable. Over this may De spread coat or two of Shellac, with the wax as final coat. The objection to this is that is the wax wears off and is not renewed before the shellac coat has been damaged it is difficult to refinish and not have it look patchy. On the other hand, a high gloss can be obtained more quickly using the shellac. The other method is to place the wax directly on the wood. This requires several coats and rubbing to bring up a gloss finish, but it has the advantage of being easy to patch without the spots showing.
 Paint may be used with many de- lightful effects, but it must be borne in mind that paint will not stand hard wear as well as the other finishes.
 For a floor that must stand hard abuse, a good floor or spar varnish may be used.
