A. RADFORD Mr. William A- Radford will answer .questions and fflve advice FREE OF COST on all problems pertaining to the subject of building, for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as editor, author and manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest authority on the subject. Address all Inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 1827 Prairie avenue, Chicago, for reply. When the average family begin to plan to build a new home, every member has some Idea that he or she would like to see Incorporated In the house. In some other home, perhaps, such a feature as appealed to the individual was found and gave rise to the thought that when or If he was to build1 W would have this feature In his home. It Is this desire that makes so many homes entirely different from others. There Is danger, however, In carrying this Idea too far. Odd features either In the exterior or Interior of a house may not appeal to some one else, and, if the necessity arises, may prevent the sale of the home. Comfort and convenience may be secured for the average famify by following the plans that have been found most suitable to the average family. And when this Is done It is not difficult to dispose of« the place If It Is desirable to do so. One type of house that appeals to the greatest number of persons Is the story-and-a-half building, such as Is shown In the accompanying Illustration. Here is a house of the size and shape that appeals. While it looks large from the outside, It Is not, as It contains only six rooms, aside from the Inclosed breakfast porch at th® rear of the first floor. It contains three good rooms downstairs--living and dining rooms and kitchen--and three bedrooms and the bathroom on the second floor. This number of rooms will accommodate nicely the average family. In exterior appearance It la difficult to find a more attractive house than the one shown. The narrow gables at the end, the steep dormer window set In It at the front and the extension of the roof lines to form the porch covering all combine to give this house a graceful, homelike appearance. This exterior appearance Is greatly enhanced by the brick foundation and piers of the porch and the wide brick fireplace chimney in the,end wall. The porch is inviting in 'summer, while the chimney gives rise* to thoughts of a comfortable, open fire In the winter time. The floor plans tfiat accompany the extt'i ior view show how the rooms are arranged and tlreir size. The entrance door off the porch leads into a feet long and 7 feet 6 inches wide. This room also makes a secluded, cheerful sun parlor. Adjoining the dining room at the left is the kitchen, 11 feet square, whose size and shape make It an efficient workroom for the housewife, a place where the cooking and other kitchen activities may be accomplished ,wlth a minimum of steps. The sink is placed under the window In the outside wall, with cases for utensils and dishes on either side. The side entrance leads to a passageway, which Is large enough for the icebox and has a closet alongside it for the linens needed in the dining room and kitchen. Back of the kitchen 'also* Is a goodsized pantry. The stairs lead Into a short hall on the second floor, off which open the three bedrooms, one at the front, one at the side and one at the back. The bathroom is located in,the center of this floor, so that it is accessible to all three bedrooms. Both front and rear dedRM. 13-6**10' DEDRM ift'xir Second Floor Plan Cost of Beautifying •Grounds Never Waste That the importation of foreijm flower bulbs has reached a point Where they are now available at little Cost was pointed out by Joseph C, Maloney, president .of the Joseph C. jiittr. loney company, subdivklere of Detroit. • "The United $tate Department of Agriculture has limited the importation of narcissus bulbs for 1927 to iniall quantities of new varieties," said Mr. Maloney. "The reason given by the department was that in lSVJti alone 42,000,000 bulbs were imported. This Included 500 varieties, but the bulk of the shipments were made up of about twenty of the most used commercial varieties. This heavy importation with the previous known plantings is sufficient for all propagation needs. "The planting of flowers and shrubs has been quite an expense to the home owner, although the gain in added beauty to the home more than offset the cost. It is probable that the home raising of these bulbs will cut' the cost to a fraction of what was formerly paid. ^ "I don't know of any other investment in land or home that returns more pleasure or actual cash value than flowers, shrubs and trees. They will beautify any vacant lot and make a home an estate There Is a danger hi planting that it will be overdone. There is more beauty In a thin, wellplanned planting than in a profusion of flowers and shrubs that have been planted without thought of what the entire picture' is to be." bedrooms are 15 feet C Inches by 10 , feet, while the one at the end of the j house is 11 by 12 feet. | The basement extends under the j whole of the house and is reached by stairs just inside the entrance at the side of the house. Taken altogether this Is a very desirable home building design--one that combines exterior attractiveness and Interior comfort, and it is not expensive to build. City of Small Homes Is Ideal Community ' It Is not surprising that the Mississippi valley landscape artists, meetbig In Kansas City, should declare that the charm of a well-ordered city Is In Its small homes. The small homes so greatly predominate In number that unless very many of them are attractive the city, at best, offers only beautiful residential spots of greater or lesser extent. It Is- in the rich districts that the landscape architects get their best commissions, but they are not overlooking the importance of small home treatments, even though they have not yet devised a way to promote the landscaping of small lots. The interesting fact is that the home owner, be his place costly or Inexpensive, has real incentive for beautltication. Keeping the house and premises attractive contributes to the Joy of living and to the value of property. Co-operation is an Important factor. A block or district otherwise well planned and cared for may be spoiled to considerable extent by a few careless home owners or occupants. Hence the expediency of neighborhood improvement associations. Through common effort desirable standards may be established and maintained.--Kansas City Times. & Elmo SCOTT WATSON A President's Pirate Ancestor tT IS doubtful if Millard Fillmore, A thirteenth President of the United States, ever boasted of the fact that his great-grandfather was a pirate, yet such is the truth of the, matter. It must be said in extenuation, however, that John .Fillmore was a pirate against his wishes, and that as soon as possible, he got out of the pirating business, and that under rather exciting -circumstances.-'"Itvis also to hiss credit that in getting out of the. busi ness he helped put an end to the career of .Capt. John. Phillips, pirate pf the Atlantic coast. John Fillmore was a native of Ipswich. Mass.. ailiVn member of the crew of the Dolphin, commanded by Capt Andrew Harriden of Cape Ann, when that ship was captured by the pirate Captain Phillips while fishing for cod off the banks of Newfoundland. Phillips seems to have had a particular grudge against New England vessels. On one occasion, so the story goes, he took a ship, the master of which was a "Saint" of New England, named Dependance Ellery, who gave the pirates a long chase before being overtaken. As a punishment Phillips forced the "Saint" to dance until he fell down exhausted. After the capture of the Dolphin. Phillips compelled Captain Harriden. youag Fillmore, and another young man, Edward Cheesman. to become pirates against their will and take part In many a robbery on the high seas. But the three fishermen had little stomach for such deeds,' and they began plotting either to escape from the pirate's clutches or capture the vessel and bring him and his crew to Justice. Their chance came one day late In April, 1724, wherf they discovered Phillips on deck with only two of his men near by. Quick as a flash they sprang upon the tljree pirates, killed two of them forthwith, trlj>ped up Captain Phillips and tossed him overboard. Then they sprang into the hold below where the remainder of the crew were loafing, covered them with pistols and put them la chains. They were masters of the ship now and they quickly set sail for Boston, where they arrived on May 3. The pirate crew was turned over to the authorities who, upon evidence offered by the three "mutineers," hanged two of the pirates whose records were particularly black. Fillmore and his comrades were absolved of all blame for the piracies they had been forced to help commit and beside! were highly praised for their daring in ridding the coast of the blood-thirsty Captain Phillips. <@ 1V36.

Plastering is to the i "home or buslnes.-rbuilding what clothes j are to humanity. Appearance counts, I always and !n everything, and people are becoming interested in tiuprovlug their ways .of living. Better plastering by a recent decorative method can be done only | through the use of the proper prod- i ucts, arid among these some stand us \ the highest representatives in this class. One Is an .'-emulsion based on Portland cement, san 1 and asbestoaT To say that splendid results have been obtained with this -'decorative plastering would be to put It mildly. Leading builders and decorators make it & point to insist upon the best as the only logical product that can be employed efficiently. Beauty as well as permanent improvement have been made possible with the. use of .this material, and it is highly recommend ed to all those who know of the importance of better plastering to" see such splendid material as one that will give everlasting satisfaction. Roof Highly Important Nowaday* the modern home builder desires a covering ior the home - possessing not, one or two virtues, bu* combining in one perfect rooting all the si ngle artvnnrngPH wh+ch thevarious old-style roofs possessed, together with such additional ones as modern science may have developed. The "perfect roof." according to modern standards, must combine-the following qualities: It plete shelter in all climates ifcnd under all weather, conditions. It must be proof against all roofconimunicated fire--for the benefit not only of the. individual, but of .the community. . ; It most tii»:lBWl«a'MtJg»i»rt heat and cold. It must be easy to put on and Inexpensive to maintain in good condition. ^ And last, but by no means least. It must be artistic--a fitting crown to a well-plunneti facade--it must be esthetlcally pleasing to the beholder. ALONG LIFE'S TRAIL & Br THOMAS ARKLE CLARK l)e» of MM, lilvrnllr •( Illiaels.

There the lasi thing before he reached liis own ter rltory was the broad, low-lvine yellow house set asuldst maple trees that belonged to the Pontlacs.^ l'ieasani associations came to Jerp- as he" looked, at the yelluw house, and as he saw the curl of smoke rising from one of the many chimney pots he almost thought he could smell gingerbread. There certainly WAS a strong association of piiig. rbread with that house. He remembered old Grandma Pontlac whom he had known so well when he was a boy running barefooted back and forth between, the two houses. (Jrardmn Pomlao always made gingerbread for him -- every Wednesday and every Saturday all summer. She seemed to think that because he had reddish hair and freckles and his name WHS Jerry he ought to have more gingerbread than a boy like his brother who had dull brown hair, clear olive skin and was nan>ed Charles. ' These thoughts of old Orand mother Pontlac occupied Jerry's mind until he had passed well beyond the, itontlac property and neared his own driveway. If he undertook to open up his owu tract of land as a suburban building tract the Pontlac property was bound to be benefited thereby. He would speed all the-money for the boom and the Pont lacs, whoever the.\ now were, would reap the bene fits. That would not do. It was property that would eventually -fetch a good price. But maybe the pres ent Pontlacs or Pontlac did not know tills. Possibly, too, they needed money. Jerry determined to visit them within the next few days and buy their property. Not wi.-hing to' bother with any sort of n servant for the week of his visit Jerry had planned to tuke his three meals a day at the Oak ville inn. Rut he was In a glootuy frame of mind when he returned to i the old house after supper, at . the Oakville Inn. which had been neither nourishing nor palatable. Then.it was that a rap came on the old door. Jerry went and there stood In the big old doorway the slender figyre of a girl--a girl in white with rather wistful brown eyes --a pretty girl. too. She handed him ' a plate spread with white linen and fled. J "Here Is some gingerbread for you." she said as she fled. The very odor of that gingerbread .seemed to brace .lorry, and as he sat down and munched the golden hrowi:, squares Ills mind seemed to turn back to years of his boyhood and he felt as.

She intended to write to Rodney Mapes--but she found herself absently filling the sheet with the Initials J. E. D., "Jiui Edgerton Darrow, Jim Edgerton Darrow," she whispered to herself. , ' . Yesterday had been her birthday . and. Bodney had sent there: to the" girls' boarding school, where she served as an Instructor, a box of gorgeous red roses and a brief little tiote in- which he had told her of this love and begged her to become his wife. Jim had let the day pass without even a note--yet June knew perfectly well that he had know^it was her birthday. Vibviously Hodney lovlpd her--and Just as obviously Jim didn't. During a wakeful night June had almost decided to write accepting Rodney's proposal--there was so much about him that she admired, so much that she almost loved. June tore up the note paper Into fine scraps and threw them Into her wastebasket. It was late afternoon. Sh«i picked up an afternoon paper and idly began to scan Its pages. There was a section of t>ne page devoted to rather insane sort of advice to the lovelorn. Sleepily June began to read. There was an answer to a young woman obviously suffering from the pangs of unrequited love. "I am sorry to say," ran the advice, "that there la no way to make a young man fall In love If he Is not disposed to do so. The best thing to do it to try to forget." June didn't read the rest of the answer, but her sleepiness vanished, and In Its place came a deep feeling of resentment toward the woman--or man --who wrote the advice. If course It was possible to make a man love you. June had read once that any girl, providing she was not positively repulsive, could win the love of any man who was not already In love. June firmly believed It If the girl did not succeed it was because she did uot use the right tactics. Take Jim and herself. Of course she could make Jim love her. The only trouble was that she had nbt gone about It In the right way. She had already tried to win Jim's love by making him jealous--by being cold and indifferent. She would now try the effect of niak- * ing him think that she really did care, for him. Without difficulty now she went to her desk and wrote a little note to Rodney, in which she told him as kindly as possible that while she was very fond of him, she did not want to marry him. She mailed It and then called Jim up at his office. "Hello, Jim," she said archly. "You know yesterday was my birthday* Somebody sent me some lowly red roses, but didn't even send a card." She paused, almost terrified at her own boldness. Jim was making excuses. He had been very busy He didn't think she cared about him. anyway. In'fact, he had actually forgotten that It was her birthday. There was a note or flattered self-love in his voice that June did not exactly like, but this made it all the easier for her to go on. "Really, I was oply teas- «' Ing you." she said. "I didn't expect you, to remember--only It's terribly dull here at the school, and if you should ask me to go to the movies tomorrow night I think Td say yes." The next afternoon came a box of orchids with Jim's' card Inclosed On the hack June read: "With sincere apologies for dear little June." Tti^re was a tone, of conceit about It decidedly Irritating to her. The following Sunday afternoon JIM came for her In his car to take her motoring." Somewhere on a lonely country lane he stopped the car and drawing June to him kissed her. apd only laughed rather triumphantly when ,she protested. -'Poor little June.** be said when he had let her go and sat there stroking her baud.
