PHONb i v , Economic Wrong to Be Sparing of Paint The first requisite in making the home bright and cheerful is to dress It up In beautiful colors, outside as well as inside. The little cottage or bungalow may be dressed just as cleverly and be as beautiful as the stately mansion. A little care used in the selection of the colors and quality of the paint will transform the dingy, unattractive house into one that will be a credit to the happy family within, as well as to the neighborhood round about. Say! Don't we all of ns throw oar shoulders back and step a little higher in a new coat or gown? It is a just pride, a healthful indication that we are going forward and pot slipping. But, If It is a choice between a new coat or gown and a new coat of paint for the homfe, the prudent person will choose the new coat for the house and will be just as proud and happy as in the new suit. . A Judicious Investment of cash in paint is like putting money in the bank, since it really costs more not to paint than ^t does to paint. To put off the painting not only robs you of the pleasure It would afford, and detracts from the general appearance of your neighborhood, but the longer it Is put off the more your property is damaged and the more paint and labor Is required to do the Job. When painting is put off too long the putty falls away from the glass, the nail heads rust, moisture gets into the tiny fissures and widens them into long cracks. The boards and casements warp and the joints open up; the waterspouts, troughs and flashings rust away. This picture is not in the least overdrawn. The lumber must be protected or these very things will happen. It is therefore real economy to paint. Organized to Further Beauty in Every Town At the state conference on regional planning held recently at Buffalo and attended by officials from every community in the state a federation was formed to accomplish the following: 1. To encourage and assist In the formation and organization of planning boards throflfehout the state. 2. To affiliate organizations and injllviduals interested in scientific planning. 3. To aid the work of existing commissions or planning boards by acting as clearing bureau for Information on scientific planning 4. To further all needed legisla-. tlon. 5. To collect and publish facts regarding the economic, Industrial and social values in scientific town and regional planning. 6. To otherwise promote in all ways possible the extension and the proper development of city, town and regional planning. Arrangement of Shruba More Important than even the flowering qualities of shrubs is their arrangement In other words, planning to plant Is the most essential--the beauty of our yards depends entirely upon It, and Is almost as Important as the planning out of a house. By making a plan of the lot it is possible to make it into "outdoor living-rooms," with interesting vistas and at the same time made convenient to the existing conditions. No lot is too small to have nature express herself beautifully under man-made, limited surroundings. In choosing shrubs for ail-around purposes, probably the border planting of the lot would be most In common for every home. The rear yard generally has the greatest opportunity and the more massive and tallergrowing varieties of shrubs should be considered. Study Industrial ProblemWCo- operation between the domestic commerce division of the Department of Commerce and the National Association of Real Estate Boards to promote efficiency In the industrial growth of American cities is the object of a special Mmmittee which has "just been appointed by the national association's industrial property division. The committee will confer, from time to time with officials of the division, organized a short time ago by Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover. The new department branch has special facilities for the study of industrial property and for assisting to the solving of industrial problems. Members of the special committee are William Merriken, Baltimore; Edgar C. Neal, Buffalo, and W. Malcolm Gray, Brooklyn. Lawn* One of the best methods of smothering the weeds in your lawn is through excessive cutting of the grass. Two or three cuttings a week will aid the gri>wth of the lawn and result In a very close stand of grass, which will strangle the weeds and drive them out. It also will help through keeping tlie weeds from running to seed. It is a mistake to let the grass grow too long before cutting, and many new lawns have been spoiled through this neglect. Cut often and give the lawn Olenty of water. "" Too Ritky The stern parent was admonishing his offspring not to be effeminate. "Don't be a mollycoddle," he said. "Talk like a man."
