K ALICE S. YOUNGMAN

A great many of the new
homes extending farther and
farther into the Metropolitan
area are occupied by young peo-
pie who have always been city
dwellers-more than likely in
apartment houses.
All new home-owners are
proud of their new homes. 1t is
their wish to beautify them.
Lacking experience. they some
times make costly mistakes.
The very first thing to do is
to make a plan. Using a piece
of graph paper, and drawing to
scale. first place the house and
the garage on the spot where
they are to be.
Now you are ready to plan for
trees. The small, low houses re-
ouires a choice somewhat diff
ferent from the larger two-story
houses.
For the low rambling type, or
the simple cottage type which
does not ramble, the low-grow-
ing trees are the answer.
Ounce and Styrax Favored
Choose the Towering crabs or
cherries. the hawthorns. hollies,
and dwarf fruit trees. The ounce
and the styrax are beautiful
specimens.
If the yard is of good size. a
pin-oak may be planted es-
pecially if it is behind the house
and not too near it. Oak shade
is highly desirable. Azaleas,
camellias and rhododendron do
especially we'll under the shade
of oak trees that are trimmed
high. Oak leaves provide an ex-
cellent mulch for acid-loving
| plants.
In planting trees. place them
to the side and rear of the house.
Use low-growing trees to the
front and side. Do not hide the
house: frame it.
Many of the lower growing
trees give light shade. have
beautiful blossoms in the spring
and some even have attractive
berries in the autumn. When
one can have so much for the
same money. why settle for less?
Soil Must Be Good
Many builders put in fol1nda-
ton paintings. Some are well
chosen, but most of them are
planted in poor soil that is filled
with mortar and other debris left
from the buildings.
The evergreens chosen usu-
ally the fast-growing kinds that
will soon shut out the air and
sunlight.
Sometimes azaleas are added
for color. Without proper soil,
exposure or culture they will not
long endure. Without green
background, the azalea most
often selected does very little for
the looks of the place.
The lawn must be one OF the
first considerations. Many new
places are sodded, or at least
that part Immediately around
the house is so handled. Part
of the lot is left for a garden
plot, or to be seeded.
If q new lawn is to be put

Plants Around Home
Need Careful Planning

In, there are at least two ap-
proaches to the problem. One
is to SOW the ground to rye, or
rye and vetch, or rye and clover.
AS soon as good growth has
been made, they should be
turned under by fork or pillow
and the grass seed sown. 1t is
even more beneficial to SOW an
other crop, perhaps Of clover,
before sowing the grass seed,
but it is hard to be that pa
tient. These crops Of clover.
vetch and rye are known as
green manure.
Rake Soil Carefully
The other method is to rake
the soil carefully to get out the
rocks which so often abound.
Then add sand and top-soil to
the ground. Good top-soil is
hard to find. so peat moss may
be added and woods earth or
compost.
Having worked this up to a
fine tilth, cover the area with
a coating of ground limestone
-25 pounds for 1000 square
feet.
In seeding a new lawn. 2 or 3
pounds of high quality seed per
1000 square feet of area will
be adequate. Grass should be
fertilized in the early spring.
in early June, and again in
September.
Use 60 to 80 pounds for 1000
square feet of area, divided into
3 feelings. 5-10-5 is generally
recommended.
Use Kentucky blue, Red Fes-
cue, and Colonial bent; Ken
tucky blue and Alta fescue; or
Kentucky blue and Bermuda.
Buy good seed. Read the label.
In buying shrubs, buy fewer
and better ones. There are a
number of evergreens suitable
for hedges or foundation plant
ings such as the dwarf forms of
arborvitae. Juniper, pine, yew
and false cvpreSS.
Specimens Planted Alone
For specimen planting, taller
growing varieties may be used.
Usually a specimen is placed
out away from the house and
other shrubs in order to give
it a chance to develop sym
metrically.
1t Is possible to buy plants
at the better nurseries which
will reach a specified approxi-
mate height at maturity. For
instance. Hicks yew will grow
to 20-35 feet: and dwarf ia
panese yew to $40 feet. And SC
it is with the other evergreens

selected requires sun or shade,

Washington area builders put
I'D almost three houses every
hour Of last year in the knowi.
edge that the military helps
make this one of the Nations
most active housing markets.
The areas military popula.
ton is constantly moving-Pen-
tagon figures estimate 10000 Q
year in and out. But the total
figure has remained at fairly
steady level save for the war
years.
Shortly before Korea it totaled
so COS. With the Korean con-
f1ict a year old, it bounced to
1912. BY March of 1858, it
leveled off to S,402. dropped only
a few hundred in 1854 and stood
at S. ,760 last month.
Usually military families are
here on three-year tours Of duty.
Many buy homes, make the
monthly payments. and take one
of two courses when transfer
orders come.
The first, and most prevalent.
is to hold onto the equity and
rent in the knowledge that the
rent money currently is higher
than the house payment.
The other action is to sell. TAX
ing loss or profit with a philo-
sophical shrug and a rush OF
memories over all the man hours
spent on the lawn mower.
The Armed Forces Housing
Branch operated by the Military
District of Washington through
branches at the Pentagon, Boil
ing Air Force Base and main
Navy, shows that there are
about 800 housing transactions
per month.
There is no breakdown as to
whether these are sales or
rentals; no breakdown to show
what percentage is military and
what portion civilians attached
to the military. Civilians total
about $1,000.
Many buy. rather than rent on
the theory that the area is a
stable housing market, officials
say.
OF the 66,76O men on duty here.
quite a few are supplied with
quarters at their duty station.
In the case of the single man.
quarters are usually furnished.
Pentagon figures show that
| 10000 of the $4,000 are officers.

mated most of the money. About
$1,000 was raised.
In the fall of 1916, the work of
remodeling the building began. AS
the skilled hands of the carpen-
tiers welded the hammers and the
saws, the sound seemed to pro-
duce a sweet hymn of praise =
God Be Praised in This House"
The work was completed in Sep
TENDER, 1947, and in that same
month, the congregation moved
into the building.
The dedicatory service was de-
layed till the third Sunday of
January, 1913. 1t was a great day
of the infant Church for thanks
giving and rejoicing. Bishop j. C.
Baker, assisted by Rev. Edward
Lee, preached the dedicatory SER
mon, and consecrated the Church.
Seattle Mayor William F. Devin,
DR. Meats and other ministers and
several civic leaders graced the
blessed occasion with their pres
ence.
The furnishings of the church
building were scanty when the
congregation first moved in: four
dozen old chairs, the minister's
chair and pulpit stand and the
piano. On Christmas of 1850. in
dividual families and members do
noted the pews, then the running
rugs. The laymen donated the
American flag. and the Women's
Society, the Christian flag. In
1852, under the administration of
Mrs. Mary Estigoy, the Women's
Society donated the gas range,
and in 1854. under the leadership
of Mrs. Rosemary Jacob, the cleo
trio coffee urn. Mr.. Eulalio Do
mingo donated the hot water tank
in 1854. The decorations and other
items that give the appearance of
the interior of the Church warm
and cheerful have been donated
by members of the Church as they
nave realized the needs of the
Church from time to time.

Like a newlywed couple setting
up a house of their own, the in
FAINT church needed a church
building of its own. Starting from
scratch. it owned then not a piece
of property. With a little cash
in its treasury, it had faced the
problem by sheer strength of
faith. AS Rev. Edward Lee once
said in reference to the church
building, ut is the triumph of
mighty faith
So it was. On the strength of
its faith material and financial
help flowed into its treasury. In
1916, Rev. Edward Lee secured
from the Home Board the present
lot and the building on it.
The present church building
was not then like as it is today.
1t was not designed appropriately
tor worship services. Originally,
the building built by the Women's
Society of World Service was used
as kindergarten school for Japan

Changes Made
In License Tax
For Chain Stores

During the 1855 session of +be
Montana State Legislature several
material changes were passed af-
fecting the Montana Chain Store
License Tax Law. The half-vear
license clause was repealed. and #
is now provided that any indi-
vidual, partnership, corporation
etc, desiring to establish and on
crate a place of business within
the state must pay the full yearly
statutory fee, as provided by the
law. Places Of business established
IN or after September l of anv
calendar year will not be OBLIGED
to pay for a license for that PAR
ticular year.
1t is further provided that if the
application and payment for the
license is not made prior to the
first day of March following the
year for which the license was
issued, the fee charged will be
double the rate as prescribed in
the original law. However. the
State Board of Equalization has
extended the time limit to july
l, 1855, before this penalty will
be imposed. All dealers r ur-
gently requested to apply for their
licenses before this date in order
to avoid the additional penalty.
