I of increasing the value of the house, I I and every builder should have com- | I plete information at hand. 1 Dumb-waiters and elevators stand ' I for convenience and good-bulldlng polI ley In every building work today. i Trench Prevents Moist Cellar Walls and Floor A reliable way of preventing wet cellar walls Is described by a reader i who contributes a letter to the ‘series on home building in Liberty. ‘‘Being a tinsmith, I can give the best remedy for wet cellar walls and floor,” he writes. "They cannot be prevented by gutters, which run over In heavy showers. Dig a trench Inside the cellar wall six inches deep and five wide,” he explains. “Place a four-inch clay tile In the trench. Start at the point farthest from the sewer outlet and make Hie pitch one foot each way to the outlet, place quarter-inch-mesh galvanized wire over the tile and cement over It. This will solve the problem.” Solarium Space Valuable A solarium Is a more economical use °f space than an open porch, and, as we well know, space Is becoming more valuable every year. With such “ latitude for color and variety of urnishings, many a housewife finds ’he sun porch the most llved-Iu room '* her home. A new coat of paint about once each year keeps the sun porch and Its furnishings new-looking “nd protected. Hollow Tile Plus Brick To those who favor the dignity of a I brick exterior finish, hollow building i Hie as a backing material offers, It is : aimed certain distinct advantages over solid masonry construction.

long dormer windows set Into the attic provide addltlonnl sleeping space. While the floor plan shows only the layout of the rooms on the first floor the gable roof gives the home height and a pleasing exterior appearance. The living and dining rooms and kitchen are ranged along one side of the house, "Mlle three bedrooms and a bath are on the other. The dimensions ; of the house are 32x49 feet, making I all the rooms of good size. Seven winI dows, in the living .room, which is 15 feet 3 inches by 20 feet 6 Inches, make it a light and airy room, comparable to a sun parlor. As has been said, the dormer set into the roof breaks the severe lines and makes the exterior of the home attractive. The continuous windows turn this portion of the attic into what might be called a sleeping porch for use In summer, or at other times when the extra room Is needed. f The home Is of frame construction set on a concrete foundation, with brick walls to support the porch. The double column porch pillars and gable roof above give a suggestion of the Colonial type of architecture. The entrance door leads directly in- , to the living room. This room and. the dining room are connected by a | double cased opening, w hich makes the ( two rooms into practically one. The bedroom at the front has a lavatory connected with it, while the bathroom is between and convenient to the two bedrooms toward the rear. Underneath the house and of the same dimensions is a basement in which to place the heating plant, and for storage purposes. The attractive exterior appearance of tills home, coupled with the convenient room arrangement and the sleeping room above, make it a most desirable home building design. Keep Floors Darker Than Walls of Room Always keep the floor darker than the trails and celling. Use a plain and unobtrusive floor jvith a striped or ; figured wall paper. If the walls are i , plain, add interest by using a pattern in your floors and in your curtains. I When rooms are thrown together by ’ open archways or glass doors, use the same pattern In both floors. your ceilings are low and your , rooms small, use only small designs, such as dotted and striped wall pa- ' pens and plain, Jasper, or small carpetdesign linoleum In light colors. In large rooms good-sized patterns in deeper tones may be used. Avoid cold colors, such 'as gray or I blue, in rooms with northern exposure, | using Instead yellow, green, rose and tan. If your room Is on the south or , west side of the house and gets plenty i of sunshine, cool and restrained cob ‘ ors, such as greens, blues and grays • are more appropriate. < Different Forage Crops and Grazing With Hogs ( Growing forage crops and grazing them with hogs is a very desirable way to improve run-down land, according to numerous hog raisers and ex-periment-station workers. Practically 1 1 all the fertilizing elements of the vege- ] tation except that stored in animal , bodies is returned to the soil in the s manure and litter. The only danger, of injury to the soil is in the trampling by the animals on heavy clays when 1 they are wet, and this Is easily avoid- 1 ed where a permanent sod pasture is < available. Furthermore, hogs, when < turned into a new field, frequently t clean up a number of different kinds , of weeds. They make good use of waste plants and tend to eliminate them from the fields grazed. Chalking of Paint It is desirable that a paint fail by ‘ chalking, but this failure should not i be in evidence within six to twelve c months after application. Good paint ! should protect the surface for two or ( t three years or longer and chalking , j should be very gradual. t The Doorway t Welcoming guests has been the t graceful gesture since Adam's time. t When Mr. Stonehatehet’s guests came In peace Mrs. Stonehatchet probably chlppM off a few more rough places 1 from the cave entrance —to make a c good Impression. Today we still make r the doorway to the house distinctive. 1 ®

TEACHERS OPEN STATE MEETING Seventy-third Annual Convention Opens Thursday At Indianapolis Indianapolis, Ind.. Oct. 20.—(Vnltedj Press) —Teachers of Indiana are gcth-j ering here todaj for the seventy-third. annual convention of the Indiana State teachers association which opens here tomorrown. With 129 speakers including many of the foremost educators of the coun.try included n the program, officials l in charge of /the convention believe I it will he the greatest in the history I of the association. — Records for attendance are also exI peeteil to fall and officials are prepar- i ing to accomodate fifteen thousand i teachers at the various sessions. > Rabbi Stephen S. Wise. New York. ; famous educator will address the gen- i eral assemb'y of the association at the Cadle tabernacle tomorrow oven- : ing on "World peace and justice. He will be followed on the program by Bishop Frank, J. McConnell of Chicago, noted chirchman who will ; speak on "The Higher Leadership." The feature of the Friday morning i program will be an address Tiy WillWood, state superintendent of Callfor- ' nia schools while Glenn Frank, president of the University of Wisconsin and Paul C. Stetson, superintendent , of the Dayton. O„ public schools will , speak at the afternoon session, at the Cadle tabernacle. Bishop McConnell and Edwin Lee, of the University of California, will speak at a meeting at Tomlinson nail Friday afternoon. Whitting Williams of Cleveland. 0.. and Mabel Carney of Columbia university will speak at the final sescicn Friday night while Governor Ed. Jackson will address the teachers before they conclude their annual meeting Saturday morning. o — Tube Makes More Cathode Rays Than Ton Os Radium Produces Philadelphia. Ta., Oct. 20 United press) —Perfection of a tube that will project cathode rays prod icing as many beta rays as can be had from a ton, or $100,000,000,000 worth of rad- : ium„ was announced here today be- ' fore the Franklin Institute by Dr. W. D. Coolidge, assistant director of the research laboratory of the General Electric Company. While no definite use has yet been found for the rays, here ar? a few things that hapen from exposure to them: A portion of a rabit's ear, exposed for one second, lost all the natural hair. This was replaced by hair snow W’hite in color, about twice as long a.the rest of the hair. A piece of Iceland spar, a pure crystal, absorbs the lays and several hours after exposure will be glowing like a red hot coal, but it is pet fectlv cool to touch, and for some time aft :r exposure it will give off bright blue scintillations, much like tiny electric spark. Insects exposed to the rays for a fraction of a second die, within a very few minutes, while bacteria is killed instantly. Granite, which apparently is a solid mass of rock, will glow’ with the most beautiful colors for several hours after an exposure of one'second to rhe rays; every piece of color in the stone being intensified a hundred fold by the rays, but it to, is cold; Ardinary quartz asorbs the**rays, becoming luminous for a snort time, and then later disintegrating to a slight extent, under the surface A tube of acetylene gas, upon being subjected to the rays yielded a hard powder, for which no solvent has as yet been found. Castor oil turns to a solid upon exporure. A direct use for the rays has yet to be found, but it is expected scientists will immediately begin i series of experiments to determine if they* can be used for the treatment of any diseases for which radium or the X-ray is now used. Cathode rays in themselves are not new, but not until Coolidge perfected his tube, which looks similar to the ordinary X-ray tube, has it been possible to produce them in such quantities as to kill bacteria and insects and cause the phenomena observed. The rays are really electrons, and they can be seen in a dark room, as purplish glow in the shape of a ball, projecting two to 18 inches from the “window" of the tube, depending on the amount of voltage used. The electrons come from a heated filament in the tube, and are driven against a heavy tungsten “target”, traveling at their start only a mile or two a second, but, within a space of two inches reaching the velocity of about 150,000 miles a second, about eight tenths the

veloeity of light. The tube is as pearly a perfect vacuum as can be made, and unlike other tubes of that type, it la sealed, there being no pumps to keep the air exhausttAl as a wonderful accomplishment in itself. I The window, through which the elecI trona pass, is made of nickel foil, three Inches in diametei, and five ten-thous-ands of an inch thick. In producing the electrons, a heavy vo'.tage, but low current strength Is I used. Dr. Coolidge has used up to ■ 350,000 volts in his tube, which gives I the greatest prepeetion obtained, about 18 Inches. In no case has the -.t'-ength of the current been more than a very small fraction of an ampere. Coolidge was awarded the Howard Potts medal of the institute for his work in perfecting the X-ray tube bringing the X-rays under control of the operator. i 0 Washington.—With th e opening of the hunting season several residents of this vicnity have lost one or more valuable hunting dogs believed to have been' taken by hunters who assumed- the "dog catcher” role to provide themselves with canine equipment (or the season. - - VEGETABLES FOR SALE Kraut Cabbage, 100 lbs $1.50 Turnips, at farm, bushel 50c Beets, at farm, bushel 60c Carrots, at farm, bushel SI.OO W.

Woman Posing As Man Goes Years Undetected Milan, (United Press).—A woman cobbler who lived for years here working peacefully In the quarter of Viale Umbria disguised as a man. and living with another woman as wife has just been discovered. The cobbler, by name Ernesto Latino, about 40 yeuflh of age, smoked and drank with other men of his trade, and played a rare hand at cards. Rendered jealous by the attentions of a youth of the quarter to the girl I who w»as living with him, the cobbler challenged him to a "rustic duel," ( that is a duel fought out with knives in some quiet, spot, without witnesses. " | Ernesto, whose real name, it now appears, is Rosa fought like a fury, and wounded her opponent several : times, till the latter/ fearing for his life, whipped out a revolver and shot i
