Vacation Auto Travel Up Over Last Year

Vacation auto travel is ten percent above last year, the Chicago Motor Club’s touring bureau estimated recently. Weekend family trips to resort and recreational areas are making this the greatest vacation season in history, according to indications at the state parks in Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan. The Lincoln country near Springfield is having a banner year. The Lincoln home, the tomb and monument, and the Sangammon County courthouse are Springfield’s main tourist interests. In New Salem State park, on 111., 97 near Springfield, an authentic shop where Lincoln worked between 1831 and 1837, is set among 23 replica cabins of the period. The frontier and pioneer days of early Illinois are recalled in this accurate historical setting. Northeast of this area is Starved Rock State park, Illinois’ most highly developed park region. Located on 111. 71, just west of Ottawa, the park offers a dance pavilion, a childrens’ playground, campgrounds, a souvenir shop and a lodge. This was the site of Fort St. Louis, built by LaSalle in 1682. A mile and a half south of Starved Rock is Matthiessen State park where you can picnic among waterfalls, caves and cliffs. Canyon trails, a deer reservation and a stockade and blockhouse are ideal scenic locales. Blackhawk State park, on 111. 2 near Rock Island, White Pines Forest, State park, four miles west of Oregon, 111., Apple River Canyon park, off 111. 78 near the Wisconsin line, and Gebhard Woods, on U. S. 6 near Morris, 111., are some of the leading park

areas.

In Indiana, the sand dunes are ideal for picnics. Swimming in the lake, boating ( yatching, canoeing or loafing on the beach are the favorite occupations. The International Friendship Gardens are located one and a half miles east of Michigan City. They contain one of the state’s most extensive plantings of formal gardens, ornamental plants, shubbery and trees. The Bass Lake area, Wawasee, Kokomo and French Lick are famed resort areas. State parks include; “The Shades, on Ind, 234 near Ind. 47; Turkey Run State park, on Ind. 47; Brown county State park on' Ihd. 46 east of Bloomington; Pokagon State park on U.S. 27 in the northeast corner of the state; and McCormick’s Creek State Park on Ind. 46. The lake country and woods of Wisconsin afford some of the best fishing available in the middle west. Far removed from the rag weed pollen belt, the North Woods are a haven for hay fever sufferers in late August and early September.

4-H’ers Keep Tractors In Good Condition

Keeping the nation’s fleet of S 1 /^ million farm tractors operating efficiently is a job of basic importance to the whole economy. Aiding in this task today is the 4-H tractor maintenance program through which nearly 130,000 club leaders and members have been trained to know their tractors, rare for them well, and operate them efficiently. So said Guy L. Noble, director of the National Committee on Boys and Girls Club Work, in an interview. “The club leaders receive special training in tractor care and operation at annual State or district clinics, which are conducted by the Extension Service of the State Agricultural Colleges and USDA cooperating,” Noble asstrted. “The leaders pass on what they learn to club members, who carry out the training on the home tractors. “Through this process of training, club members not only learn the value of efficient tractor operation, but also develop the qualities of leadership, helpfulness, initiative and thrift.” As incentives for outstanding records of achievement in this program, merit medals, Chicago 4-H Club Congress trips and college scholarships are offered by Standard Oil Company (Indiana) on county, state and national levels, respectively. Last year’s state winner in Indiana was Sheldon Barroquillo of Wolcottville. One hundred fifteen club members in Indiana received county medals of honor.

Left, Mix Plant Food With Soil at Bottom of Hole; Center, Pour Starter Solution Over Roots; Right, Draw Soil Into Solution to Fill Hole. Care Protects Plant from j Shock of Transplanting

When the amateur gardener sets out in his garden plants which were started early in a greenhouse, hotbed or a window of his home, he wants every one to live. The way to insure this is to regard transplanting as an operation, with the plant as patient, and to make sure that it is performed with a minimum of shock. It shocks a plant to move it, and gives it a set-back, but there are advantages in giving it an early start, weeks before seed can be sown in the garden. The plants that stand the operation best afe stocky rather than tall, with strong stems and abundant roots. If grown in pots, plant bands or small flats, so you get them with roots undisturbed, so much the better. But even bare root plants can be transplanted with proper care. If you grow your own plants, feed them a week before the operation with liquid plant food, and water them well the day before. Prepare a starter solution by hanging a cloth bag containing commercial plant food in a bucket of water and letting it soak overnight. Use 4 ounces of a 4-11-4 mixture or similar to aach gallon of water. Or use a special soluble plant food, according to

the manufacturer’s directions. Dig a hole large enough to hold the roots spread out, cover the soil about them. Taking care not to injure the roots, hold the plant in its place, then pour into the hole, over the plant roots, % pint of starter solution. While the solution is in the hole, draw in the loose soil and firm it around the plant. The solution not only supplies nutrients but puddles the soil about the roots, making it easy for the plant to take up water. Roots of plants should not be pruned. Replacement of lost roots must take place before the plant can grow very much. Tops of plants should not be pruned, as shown by research results. Pruning removes part of the “factory” which has to make the new plant material (carbohydrate) upon which growth depends. Pruning is likely to take off more foliage than necessary. Dead or partly dead tissue does no harm, though wholly dead leaves may be picked off. Shading is good practice when plants are succulent, when soil an£ air are dry and when sun is hot. But good plants can usually be set, successfully without shade. . >

Designer Of Capital Was Poorly Paid WASHINGTON, D. C.—A paltry $668.66 was ail tkax Pierre Charles 1’Enfant received for his plan of the city of Washington. What’s more, it was 18 years after his work on the plan ended that Congress passed the bill awarding “the forgotten architect” his payment. H. Paul Caem.merer, secretary of the commission of fine arts, revealed that and other facts in the life of I’Enfant at the annual dinner of the Columbia Historical Society. Recounting from his eight years of research for a forheoming biography of I’Enfant, Caemmerer said that legislators in 1810 appropriated $666.66 for the design that was finished in 1792. Interest, however, boosted the belated fee to $1,394.20, most of which went to creditors. Caemmerer, a former president of the historical society, scouted the theory that I’Enfant’s gift for design and draftsmanship came from extensive experience in military engineering. The architect was given a commission of lieutenant in the French colonial army in 1777 to protect him in case he was taken prisoner by the British on his way to America. His real training came from his father, Pierre, who was painter in ordinary ter the king and director of the royal academy of painting and sculpture. A search of the records of the Continental Congress showed that TEnfant served in the Revolutionary forces, first under Gen. Du Coudray. in the Battle of Brandywine. and later as an aide to Maj. Gen. von Steuben during the winter at Valley Forge. In 1779, I’Enfant was severely wounded in the siege of Savannah, serving under Gen. Pulaski, who was killed in the same battle. On leaving the army, the architect designed the capital of the United States and various forts of the young country. But when I’Enfant died on June 14, 1825, his earthly possessions amounted to $45.

phalt shingle roofs can be made windtight by cementing down the shingle tabs. The cement holds the tabs down so that wind cannot blow underneath to lift the roofing from the roof deck. Quiqk-setting asphalt cement is used and can bQ applied with either a putty knife or a caulking gun. Place a spot of cement about the size of a 50-eent piece under the center of the exposed portion of each shingle tab and press the tab down firmly. Do not bend the tabs back farther than necessary. Use special care on sections of the roof most vulnerable to wind —the eaves, the rakes and the ridge.

GARAGE

fei: :. Smooth lines of this ranch house make it readily adaptable to any > setting. Its flexi-’ ble floor plan is a fine example of ingenious homeplanning, priced under $12,000. Of frame and brick construction, it contains expansion attic with finished arda for

2 rooms and bath; full basement; over-sized living-dining area. The exterior is beautified by 12' window, semi-enclosed porch, sweeping roof lines. An oil-fired hot-water air-conditioning plant serves the entire house. Building costs, including price of heating unit and installation of heating system, are cut substantially if the house is insulated full-thick with mineral wool at time of construction. Wall between house and attached garage should be of fire-resistant construction required by most building codes. This is provided at low cost by filling ffce hollow space between the walls with non-com-bustible mineral wool, which has been given a fire-retardant rating of m hrs. by the National Bureau of Standards. Features of the house include: in basement, modern laum|ry trays and heating unit placed to clear recreational space; built-in kitchen work-counter, electric exhaust fan, wall and floor cabinets; built-in breakfast-bar In dining area; set-in bath-tub and shower; hardwood flooring; copper plumbing. Bedrooms are cross-ventilated. Roomy closets have flush sliding doors. All rooms have ample wall space for attractive furniture arrangement.

House Chosen for 'Livable Features'

Minnesota and the Dakotas produce 72 per cent of the flax crop of the United States.

Because of its large number of “livable features,” this house has been chosen as Plan No. 40 by American Builder magazine, 30 Church St., New York 7, N. Y. American Builder says: “Entrance to a generous powder room is accessible from the reception hall. It is also handy to the kitchen. Economy is considered by the fact that the fixtures back up to the bathroom wall. A sliding cupboard door closes the opening between powder room and adjoining hall. Lavatory for powder room and bath is a builtin type With cupboards below. “China cabinet and-plant shelf divide dining room and reception area. Opposite wall of reception area contains a small plant box with recessed light above. Curtain valance over living room windows provides space for ornamental fluorescent lighting of ceiling. An extended brick facing is obtained in the living room and terrace through the use of a double fireplace serving both rooms. Bookcases fill in the remaining wall area on fireplace side of living room.” The home is an attractive example of the modern ranch style of design in which the architect, ^Walter T. Anicka, has specialized.

First Floor Plan

In order to take full advantage of the opportunity for achieving an individualized exterior color plan, the architect suggests basing the entire color scheme on the solid or blended hue selected for the

asphalt shingle roof.

The dwelling has a total living
