Us When In Need Of We are distributors for EDISON MAZDA LAMPS HALLIDAY a Adjustable Footing for Ladder Painters, carpenters, tinsmiths gpd others whose trade necessitates the fre- quent use of a ladder, are often inconven- ienced by the ladder slipping toward one side due to a slight slope in the ground. The usual remedy, which anyone natur- ally thinks of first, is to block up the lad- "der, but blocks are not always handy. A detachable footing of the kind shown in the drawing is much more reliable, and as it is a small article it can readily be ttans- ported with the other equipment. It con- sists of a section of buggy-wheel rim, or any stout length of similarly curved wood. . A slot is cut in each leg of the ladder to straddle the rim, and a short length of hardwood is fastened to it by means of a bolt and two strap-iron braces, as shown. The upper end of this stick is passed through a heavy iron ring, which is permanently kept on the lowest rung of the ladder. This ring is attached by splitting It and then spreading it, after which it is placed around the rung and bent back to its original shape. A thumbscrew threaded through the side of the ring, is turned down to clamp the stick {0 the rung at any position. Bolts are put through the bottom of the lad- der as shown in the detail, to prevent splitting and to retain the foot in posi- What the World Is Doing As Seen by Popular Mechanics Magazine, Label Your Battery Leads It takes but a few minutes to make a set of little square or round cardboard labels for the A and B-battery leads, holes being punched in the labels and the wires threaded through thém, and the fan who has burned out a few tubes by accidentally connecting the B-battery to the filament circuit will appreciate the tip. For those who want something a little more pleasing to the eye than the cardboard labels the latter can be made of brass. The labels should bear the name of the battery, the voltage and the polarity. . Aerial Supports of Metal Improve Reception and Aid Grounding A practical support for antenna wires is now available, which may be used for supporting a single strasel, or an aerial consisting of several wires. The support, which*is strongly made of metal, offers a place to mount the lightning arrester where it is most effective. It is claimed to assist in the elimination of static by providing a direct uninterrupted path to the ground for this disturbing element, to aid in clearer reception, and permit greater distances to be covered. It elim- inates the use of wood and nails, and does not detract from thé appearance of the building. When mounted on frame buildings, the anchor screweyes on the INSULATOR end of the safety chains or braces are screwed firmly into the wood, and when used on brick buildings, the screweyes are provided with expansion shells which are placed firmly into holes drilled in the brickwork. Handling Ford Driveshafts Ford driveshafts can be conveniently handled en the workbench by providing two brackets of the kind shown in the BRACKET FOR UNIVERSAL-JOINT ENDOF REAR- SLEEVE al OF HOUSING illustration. These are made of 3-in. flat steel cut and bent to the shape indi- cated and bolted to the bench top. One bracket has a square hole to receive the universal-joint end of the shaft and the other is cut to hold the rear sleeve of the housing. * % Paving the World's Streets The lake of asphalt in Trinidad has fallen only fifteen feet since its discovery by early explorers, despite the fact that approximately 4,000000 tons of road- making material have been removed. It is estimated that 10,000,000 tons of the mixture have been churned into asphalt by gases during the ages in Pitch Lake, which is known as Devil's Caldron among the natives. To transport the material, rails mounted on ties have been extended over the surface, and cars are run out to the diggers who never move the scene of operations, as each morning finds the holes left by the previous day's activity filled up. About every three days, the pitch covers the railway, which slowly sinks into the soft material and must be raised and relaid. By means of this track, 100.000 tons of asphalt are withdrawn from the lake each year. The entire de- posit covers an area of about 110 acres, bu its depth has never been measured. HIDING UGLY BUILDINGS. Many yards have unsightly gar- ages or other small buildings that it is desirable to hide or ugly board fences to disguise. Annual vines and some of the taller-growing annuals are admirable to use as screens in such éases, - The best annual to hide an un- sightly object quickly is the castor bean, the most majestic annual in the flower lists. The Zanzibar types are particularly fine. With the first warm days, the castor bean starts sending out its huge palmate leaves and spinning up a thick, sturdy stalk until it is six to eight feet tall with a wide spread. The tall annual sunflowers of the old-fashioned, familiar 'Russian' type now come in shades of red and full doubles, which make majestic ordfaments of height and form a substantical screen. Then there are the annual vines, the morning glory being the quickest and most effective and quickly cov- ering any trellis or screen arranged for it and grabbing any support in sight if none is furnished. The Jap- anese morning glories offer a wonc- 10. Home Garden What 1s Home <'without a Garden 9 erful range of coloring and mark- ing, particularly the imperial strain. They have leaves of varying shape and sometimes are attractively var- iegated. The hyacinth bean and the old scarlet runner are valuable vines td furnish thick foliage, attractive, clean and with handsome blossoms to go with it. The moonflower is another useful member of the morn- ing glory tribe that will reach up to the second story in a hurry, once it gets going. Vines of finer texture which fur- nish veils of concealment rather than screen are the handsome Card- inal climber, a gorgeous sight, and the cypress vine. Cobea scandens is another handsome climber of slend- er growth with beautiful ' purple bells. The seed should always be placed edgewise. The old-fashioned madeira vine, tubers of which are now on sale, is coming into popularity again as a porch vine. It has leathery, glossy foliage and fragrant white sprays of flowers. One of the quickest-growing an- nual vines is the wild cucumber. The gourds also are useful. PRODUCE MARKETS FOR SALE Large, well appointed dwelling, 188 Lower Albert Street.
