Entered as Second Claas matter March 1, 1911, at the post office at Highiand Park, lllinois. under the Act of March 3, 1879. Published weekly by The Udell Printing Co. at Highland Park, Lake County, Iilinois Just as the hostess in each home determines the comfort or discomfort every guest feels in that home, the first lady of the land in the White House becomes an important figure typifying the national hostess. If through personal endowment and social experience, she is well qualified for her big task, our nation may well congratulate itself. In considering the possibilities of feminine occupants of the White House, the gifts and training of Mrs. Herbert Hoover stand out prominently. As Head of the National Girl Scouts, she has shown herself a skilled executive. She writes cleverly and intelliâ€" gently and is the author of a charming biography, "When Mrs. Coolidge Was a Girl." Her travels have carried her into far places as the companion of her engineer husband. The knowledge gained in those travels of manners, laws, literature, customs and climates that are strange to most of us, has led Mrs. Hoover‘s sympathetic understanding of international problems and peoples. This underâ€" standing would be particularly precious in the President‘s wife with world conditions as they are today. A person of real individuality, social charm, and wide experâ€" ience, Mrs. Hoover is outstandingly fitted to act as partner in the exacting social and diplomatic duties that fall to our chief execuâ€" tive. Once a year William Lyon Phelps preaches a sermon at Yale university. Last Sunday he preached on Remembrance. Coming from a layman, a man from whom one expected to learn of books rather than of morals, perhaps parents, in this age of complaining about youth, will make particular note of this remark: "It is encouraging to reflect that the influence of parents on children is stronger after the parents are dead than when they are alive. The boy and girl rebel against their parents‘ admoniâ€" tions and think that father and mother do not know much*'l,lt in later years their parents reach out hands from the grave dnd guide their grownâ€"up children‘s thoughts and conduct." Parents who say that children no longer will submit to «disâ€" cipline might well ponder this remark, too. _ "It is more important to have the memory supplied with beautiful thoughts and ideas than it is to have money in the bank, and indeed the memory is a kind of bank. If we put in genuine coin, the dividends come reguâ€" larly. Memory is like a garden, where by exercise of care and forethought beautiful flowers may grow ; whereas by neglect the garden may be filled with weeds."

CONCRETE FLOOR REDUCES PERLL ALSO CUTS REPAIR BILLS Interesting Facts About Use of Cement in Residences for This Purpose; Keeps Out Dirt The following regarding the value of concrete floors in dwelling houses, by Homer Grant in the Chicago Tribâ€" une. is of interest: Jeremiah spoke words of cheer in comparison to those uttered by some home owners when the use of concrete flooring in their home is mentioned. They may have heard of many of its practical featâ€" ures; they muy want a house as nearâ€" ly fireproof as they can afford butâ€" "I don‘t want a floor to look like a sidewalk." Or "L don‘t want my basement floors brought upstairs" or "concrete floors are dampâ€"don‘t tell And the average home owner has to be "shown" before he will be conâ€" vinced of the beauty and sanitation possible in concrete floorings as they are now offered to the public. Certainâ€" ly there is much interested discussion current today on the future possibiliâ€" ties of concrete floors in the homes of tomorrow. § The practical features of the conâ€" crete floor are those which naturally appeal to any practical home ownet, and most home owners are by nature practical in their attitude towards what affects the stability and longeviâ€" ty of the houses they own. Fire Safety Main Point But in the last analysis the extent of the future popularity of the conâ€" crete floor will depend largely on the understanding of the public regardâ€" ing the attractiveness of its different surfacings. Fire safety is one of its most outâ€" standing points, for the concrete first | floor slab prevents the passage of flames up from coal pile, furnace or | basement garageâ€"if one has a builtâ€"| in basement garage. t Then again concrete flooring elimâ€" inates many troubles which often deâ€" velop after a house has stood for sevâ€" eral years, causing the home owner repair bills or interfering with the resale value of the house. For instance water does not peneâ€" trate a concrete floor easily. Broken water pipes, overflowing water pipes do not work such damage on the ceilâ€" ing below. Vibration is eliminated, as are squeaking and sagging floors. Another virtue claimed for this type of floor by a home owner of fourteen years expcrience is that it prevents coal dust and other dirt from seeping through into the upper stories from the basement. He says that the conâ€" crete floor especially proves its worth during the delivery of coal. Hardwood flooring, oak, maple, etc., can be nailed directly to the wooden sleepers embedded in the concrete, The firm concrete support does away with any cracking or warping of the wood and the home owner who preâ€" fers the floor surfacing of lovely hardâ€" wood can still have it, even with the fire safe concrete underflooring. Another construction point is the fact that concrete floor slabs afford greater strength and stability to the walls. Ordinary floor.joints. moving slightly, can crack a wall or ceiling plaster. Concrete floor slabs, not movâ€" ing appreciably if built correctly, elâ€" iminate this danger., Many Popular Surfacings Or other popular surfacings, such as lincleum, rubber tile, cork tile, can Keeps Out Dirt loose here, or as these surâ€" ww':mnlmdth concrete. Then, lastly, comes the conâ€" crete floor, standing on its own merits, uncovered by any other surfacing, but so treated as to afforg really lovely effects. A concrete floor may be made to look like a tile flooring, or it can There is no danger of any pulling be stained and waxed in handsome dark shades without any pattern atâ€" tempt. â€" There are many pigment preparaâ€" tions for concrete, various reds, yelâ€" lows and soft browns which combine well with the neutral gray of the conâ€" crete and result in effective dark can be worked out if desired, interestâ€" ing appearances created by the difâ€" ferent stains, charming éffects proâ€" duced by waterproof enamels. In the light of all the advancement made in the fields of fireproof conâ€" struction, weatherproof and age proof construction, in residence work as well as along all building lines, this feature of concrete flooring is well deâ€" serving of consideration. The man who is building his own home is not only investing his money at the time of building, but his future moneys and his future comforts. And whatever contributes to the stability and fire safety of his home adds to his sum total investment in "pieces of silver and peace of mind." Gust. W. Lofgren, N.
