BY DOROTHY DUCAS and
ELIZABETH GORDON.

A traveller from Venice once told
us she was disappointed in that
city of gondolas, because when the
sun shone brightly she could detect
the presence of garbage in the
canals. We laughed, as she did, but
we sympathized. For it is not only
fatal to beauty but downright un-
pleasant and even dangerous to be
aware of garbage, once you've
scraped the plates and dumped the
refuse into q can.
The modern home should have
adequate provision for the safe and
out Of sight disposal Of garbage and
q built-in garbage closet is the
answer for most of US. We have Just
seen one which seems a perfect solu-
ton, for 1t is accessible both from
the inside and the outside of the
house, making 1t easy to dump your
garbage and just as easy for the
garbage man to get at when he
calls on his daily rounds.
Made in three stock sizes, the
closet is just big enough to admit
pail II by 10 by IS inches, IA by 10
by 1917 and le by 10 by 10 inches
and other sizes are available by
special order. 1t closes on the in
side with a neat. white door and a
spring catch similar to that on your
refrigerator. The outside has a
swinging door arrangement, so that
1t pushes to one side when the garb-
age man removes the can.
The closet is ventilated scientific
ally to remove all possibility of odors
creeping into the kitchen, and when
the outside door is properly closed
there is no danger of flies or dogs
getting at the garbage. Inexpen-
sive, too.
For that new house you are plan
ming to build In the spring you'll
want to know about a new asphalt
coated insulating sheathing mate
rial, now made with q tongue-snd-
groove joint. 1t is the same material
which has been on the market for
some time, but the tongue-and-
groove feature means tighter.
matched joints, through Wnlch W1nd
cannot penetrate.
The new sheathing is made in
longer and narrower width than its
parent material so it can be applied
horizontally, tying seven studs Of
the framework of the house together
instead of the four studs which used
to be so tied when the material was
applied vertically. This eliminates
much mailing, and all the saving
necessary can be done the short way
of the board, cutting down on the
amount of waste material. Further,
any cut-outs for doors and windows
can be done right on the scaf1old and
the home builder need order but one
size, whereas with the larger size

Shutters Effective

To give different effect to the
exterior of house, paint the shut
ters different color and note the
interesting results. For example, a
buff -colored stucco house with red
tiled roof may wear wood brown
shutters to good advantage. Yet it
will present an entirely different ap-
pearance with blue toned shutters.
