WINDBREAkS URGED
TO PROTECT PLANTS
Climate Here Not Cold Enough
to Provide Warm Blanket
of Snow.

Necessity for providing Winter pro-
lection for plants in this latitude is
due largely to the fact that gardeners
will not content themselves with varie-
ties that are hardy without protec-
ton and also because the climate Of
this section Is neither warm enough
to prevent temperatures from going
far below the freezing line nor cold
enough to insure q warm blanket OF
snow during the Winter months, it is
pointed out by Walter r. Ballard,
horticulturist for the University Of
Maryland Extension service. To in
sure safe protection for these less
hardy plants, Mr.. Ballard urges use
Of wind breaks and mulches.
Mulches are not necessarily used to
keep plants warm, according to Mr..
Ballard. Most of the time they are
used to maintain q more uniform con-
dition, to protect the plant from cold,
drying winds or q warm, thawing sun.
In certain cases, heavy mulches assist
in preventing deep freezing Of the
ground so the roots may remain active
longer in the season.
Wind breaks also provide a good
protection for the more tender plants.
For this purpose. loose, open material,
which will allow free circulation Of
air, will serve better than those ma
terials which have q tendency to pack
closely around the plant. Pine boughs,
straw, coarse manure and leaves are
advised for this purpose hg Mr.. Bal
lard. He points out that il field mice
are abundant mulches should be de-
layed until freezing weather arrives,
otherwise these posts may nest in the
mulch and damage the plants or
bulbs.

SMALL HOUSE BOOM
Speculative Building Condition.
Suggest It Has Begun, Says
A. I. A. Official.

New England is looking forward to
. Spring boom in small-house con-
struction, according to Hubert g. Rip
ley Of Boston. divisional director Of
the American Institute Of Architects.
Speculative building conditions sug-
gest that mild housing boom Is
already under way, he reports.
Three or four months ago members
Of loaning institutions were evenly
divided as to whether we might look
for marked improvement in the small
house field" Mr.. Ripley says in q
survey covering Massachusetts,, Maine,
Connecticut and Rhode Island.
To-day all are practically unani-
nous in the opinion that next Spring
we are to have a real boom. The
extent Of this boom and the number
of houses to be constructed IS any
body's guess. Residential construction
seems to be showing the greatest
activity. A vast percentage Of this
work is being done without archi-
tectural services. The Architects
Emergency Employment Bureau in
Boston still has more than 500 un-
employed architects and draughtsmen
on its lists"
The trend Of styles in house design
Is toward conservatism. Mr.. Ripley
finds.

A little later Flathorns happened to
stop to browse very near to where
Peter was sitting. II suppose" VEN
tured Peter, that you don't know
what fear is?"
Flahorns drew himself up proudly.
"Why should II" he demanded.
What is there for me to fear? You
saw what I did to Buster Bear. You
saw me make him run. Thus I do to
all my enemies"
Now they were close to the pond OF

when the snow lies deep and Howler

said he.
"And I can also see that you have

agreed Flathorns. IT have no desire
to meet Howler the Wolf when I have
no horns, and that Is, of course, the
time he would choose to attack me-
It would be when I have no horns
and the snow lies deep. But have
my horns, there is no snow, and
Howler Is not here. So you may well
say fear no one and nothing"
That was boasting. That was just
plain boasting. It always is foolish to
boast. How true that is was shown
by Flathorns not three minutes later
A Merry Little Breeze came dancing
along and tickled the sensitive nose
of Flathorns. Instantly he threw his

like anxiety in his eyes as he gazed In
the direction from which that Merry
Little Breeze had come. Another
Merry Little Breeze and another came
skipping and dancing along from the
same direction and as they passed
Flathorns they tickled his big nose
Just as the first one had done.
Such a change as came over that
great Moose. He forgot his boast Of q
few minutes before. The anxious look
in his eyes gave way to fear. Peter
Rabbit could see it. No doubt about
1t, there was fear in the eyes Of Flat
horns the Moose. He suddenly turned
and started of through the Green
Forest. He moved quickly for he was
in q hurry. He moved silently. It
was amazing how silently he moved
at first. It didn't seem possible that
any one so big could move so quietly.
Before those looking on realized what
was happening he had disappeared.
Peter Rabbit stared after him. Then
Peter turned to his cousin, Jumper
the Hare, and his voice sounded as II
he himself couldn't believe what he
was saying.
He is afraid! He Is running away!"
said Peter.
Jumper nodded. II saw it. wouldn't
have believed it otherwise, but I saw
it. You and never ran in greater
fear than that fellow showed. What
do you suppose it means?" said
Jumper.
A few minutes later Farmer Browns
Boy appeared. 1t was his scent that
Flathorns had had brought to him by
the Merry Little Breezes. It was the
man smell, the smell that meant te

So he had fed, as filled with fear q
ever was Peter Rabbit. You see he was

the place almost deserted-except
for Stephen Fowler! At the fal
end of the big room he sat at one
of the salesmen's desks, his head in
his hands, oblivious to her ap-
proach.

He looked up suddenly. judith
What are you doing here2"
Then you haven't been-been ar

He smiled weakly. ooh, sure. I'm
in the hoosegow theoretically. But
the boss put up bail"
"Steve there's nothing to
all this, is therep I mean, all you
did was take the order, and they
can't"
"Just a minute, Judith. There
Is something to 1t. More than even
the boss knows. I didn't take any
money on the deal, but did know
that somebody In the engineering
department was going to make a
profit at the expense of city tax
payers"
But, Steve, I don't see how"
"Our pipe is cheaper to install
than the ordinary kind. That's
what I've been trying to put over
with the department for years.
Well I finally did. A couple
of the smart boys saw that there
would be charges for labor-labor
that wasn't all used or paid for"
Judiths eyes widened unbeliev-

to do that, Steve?"
"Of course I knew It'll 1t was
none of my affair, was it?" He
glared at her belligerently. my Job
was to sell the pipe, and If 1t hap

graft on-then that's not my fault"
THAT doesn't sound like you,
Stephen"
He did not answer at once, just
looked at her coldly. mo-" he said.
II guess 1t doesn't. But you can't
have everything, you know. You
can't have ideals and the girl you
want, too. I had to put that deal
over, Judith, and you know why
I closed one eye"
Judith shook her head. "You
didn't have to do that, Steve. I
offered to marry you If you didn't
get a penny more than you had"
will you stop It'll" His open palms
came down against the desk. Plain

breaking point.
With out another word, Judith
turned and left him. But she wasn't
finished. Before she had reached
the street again she had her plan

trouble because he loved her, Judith
told herself, and she must help him.
At a drug store on the corner Of
