all crops improved about two per-

warehousemen who supply farm
ers.

New Device Keeps
Roots From Sewer
Solution to End Pipe
StobbaSes Found, =
Bureau Says

Considerable progress has been
made by the plumbing industry in
recent years in finding a solution
for the problem created by the
stoppage OF sewers by tree roots,
the Plumbing and Heating Indus
tries Bureau said Saturday.
A new device which provides a
means of keeping roots out OF clay
and cement sewer pipes Is now
available. This consists of a ring
of copper placed in the bell OF
each Joint.
A light film of poisonous copper
salts is formed on the copper
rings by the moisture in the sewer
and by the acids and gases. 1t is
said that tree roots cannot pass
through the poisonous film formed
by these green salts. The health
of the tree or bush is not affected
The rings are nominal in, cost
and are made 10 fit any standard
size of clay or cement pipe.
While pipe rings may be util-
lied IN preventing the spread Of
roots in existing sewers. in new
installations the use Of cast iron
pipe will offer positive and per-
manent protection

Small Features
Add Distinction

Small but well-choSen features
may mark the difference between
a distinctive and an undressing
small house.
A simple rectangular plan may
often be made interesting through
the use of well-proportioned
porch, an attractive entrance door
way garden walls and fences, and
similar accessories.
There is also the opportunity TO
combine a single material in diff
ferept- forms, such as in the case
OF wood when flat boards are used
with or without nodded edges,
vertical boards with battenS and
lordinary clapboards or shingles.
Brick and stone may be COM
bined or used with wood for inter
est in texture. but should be
painted a single color to obtain
harmonious whole that will first
appear 10 the eye as a unit.
