Caulk Cracks Very often sash ami door frames do not fit snugly in a building. This in i‘specially true where frames adjoin masonry work or even in poorly constructed frame buildings. Even after construction is completed, I shrinkage of materials may occur or I masonry may break away, leaving | cracks that permit heat loss and the infilteration of cold air and dust. Cracks around frames should be kept filled with caulking material. I Cellar Hint Cellar stairs with loosened or shaky rails, or with none at all, are hazardous and result in many injurious falls. Likewise, steps which have become badly worn or broken during the winter under frequent trips made to the basement by members of the family for tending the furnace, doing laundry work, obtaining fruits and vegetables, and the like, should he promptly repaired. Loose rails should be securely fastened and thoroughly braced, or new ones installed. A fresh coat of paint will brighten them up and make them more readily visible and less hazardous.

Replace Old Palter While doing the customary spring house cleaning replace old 1 out-of-d tte wall paper with some of the new washable wall coverings, especially in kitchens, playrooms, bathrooms, and similar places which become easily soiled.

INSTALL HOOKS IN IHtV WEATHER Doors often stick in a new building. If a door hijs been acrurately installed in accordance with good carjtentry principles, sticking is probably due to swelling caused by the abaortion of moisture from the damp plaster or masonry. Absorption may also take place when doors are installed just prior to long damp or rainy periods when the relative humidity is high ami when there is no heat in the house. In general, the house should be as dry as possible before installing the doors and other interior woodwork. When doors stirk, some owners make the mistake of planing them down immediately instead of waiting until the house has been sufficiently heated and the interior walls dried out thoroughly. When doors are jirematurely planed to eliminate sticking, too much material may be planed off the doors and then, when (he building is dry, the doors may rattle or may not stay latched. Ixxise, poorly fitting doors permit heat losses from the building and also permit the infiltration of cold air, dampness and dust.

GARDEN TREATMENT IS IMPORTANT SPUING AND SI MMER TASK Planting, pruning, and trimming shrubbery takes a prominent place in home beautification during the spring and summer months, the federal housing administration points out. In improving the general appearance of grounds about the house, dead branches on trees and shrubs should be neatly trimmed and either disposed of or stacked in a fertilizer bin where they may decay until usable as fertilizer. Not only should dead wood be removed but trees should bo trimmed in accordance with good landscaping principles so that desirable branches will develop. Elms, for example, used for street trees and along driveways. should bo trimmed so that they will gradually develop a spreading top like a giant umbrella. Spruce is most effective when developed as a towering green spire. The dense crown of the hard maple is striking as a bushy ball in which the yellow, brown and red shades of fall merge in a flame of color. In general, street trees should have their trunks trimmed to uniform height and sufficient high so that there will always be ample clearance over both walks and streets. Trees located on lawns, cspesially where there is space for the natural spread of their branches, arc more attractive when the branches begin with a wide spread at the ground line. Then the gradually tapering effect of the tree from the ground to its top provides a rare exhibit of landscape perfection. Because of the length of time required to grow trees to desirable shade-tree size, they should he valued by the home owner, and every precaution should be taken to protect them. If the poliage last year did not have a thrifty growth and natural color, It is possible that the roots should be fertilized. In other cases, where decay has started in the tree trunk, it may be necessary to have an expert tree surgeon remove the decayed parts and reinforce the trunk with concrete. It is often advisable to bolt various branches together near their dividing point to prevent a tree from splitting, while in other eases steel cables are extended between various branches to prevent them from breaking off during severe wind storms. After existing trees are properly conditioned, the shrubbery trimmed, and dead stock removed, then the home owner may do required Iran* planting and obtain such additional stock as may be needed from a nursery. He will then be able to obtain beautiful landscaping effects as the flowering plants burst into full bloom and the foliage develops into a variety of lacy patterns. Flower boils and rock gardens should have the soil around existing nlants cleared of litter and needed additional rich soli and fertilizeradded. Occasionally acid soil needs neutralizing. While gardening and landscaping may be done at this time with hardy perennial plants care should he taken not to expose tender annuals prematurely or until the home owner i* reasonably satisfied that they will not be subjected to a late frost. The lawn, of course, should receive careful attention, and should be i leared of all litter, sunken places filled with fresh soil and humas and fertilizer added ns needed. Sjcring Is : Iso an excellent time to remove undesirable weed growth from the liwn. Credit for doing needed landscape work is insurable under the modernization credit plan of the Federal Housing Administration and Is obtainable from any approved lending agency. This makes it easy and convenient for owners to beautify and increase the value of their properties Landscaping may be most economl ically done during the spring, when climatic conditions are most favorable for plant growth.

Shutters Give Rooms Privacy

VENETIAN BLINDS, OTHER VARIETIES ARE EASILY INSTALLED Summer comfort obtained by leaving blinds and shutters open often requires a sacrifice of privacy. This condition may be remedied by installing shutters or Venetian blinds, which can be so regulated that air will pass through them freely and at the tame time prevent outsiders from looking into the house during ehe daytime and at night when the room is lighted. Shutters nu^y be adjusted to keep out the rain, snow, and sleet and thereby meet the important requirement of permitting the entrance of flesh air during a storm when otherwise it would be necessary to close the windows. Shutters are again gaing in popularity especially with the revival of various kinds of modifications of Colonial and Georgian architecture. They may be painted any color that harmonizes or suitably contrasts with the color of the home and its surroundings. Green, blue, and black are especially popular. The modification credit plan of the Federal Housing Administration is j making it possible for many home owners to improve their homes with tht? many attractive kinds of shutters now available. SCHOOL HISTOR1 1 ( nDtlmM-il From I’n** ttae) never played truant, and will not if he is well treated in school. As for your requiring an excuse every time a hoy needs to have a boot mended or a patch on his pants, it is all nonsense, and I think you arc to blame for obeying such laws. I should he glad to know whether the state required the parents to give an account to the teachers for their doings at home and if so, I think the legislature should be requested to pass a bill to protect the home of the people from the prying inquisitiveness of school teachers. I think we are very much in need of a home protection bill. I hope this will set your mind at rest on the subject of excuses. so far as I am concerned.” April 6. 1876 Normal schools at Clayton, Hendricks county; Waveland, Montgomery county; and at Bainbridge, Putnam county, begin on Tuesday, April 14. An effort is being made to ponnnnently establish a normal school at Ladoga. Montgomery county. Competent authorities decide that the "blackboard” should not he black n any part of it.

M Black, trustee. June 22. 1876 Notice to Teachers Believing that the qualifications of .ur teachers have been too low, and that the best interests of the children requite better qualified teachers, the county board of education decided to raise the grade of license is follows To stimulate teachers to qualify themselves for more effective work, it was desired to pay them according to their general average ami their known ability to teach. The jo lee agreed upon Is 2 3-4 cents for each 1 per cent of the general average, to be modified by other evidence of t blllty. The above system of grading will

go into effect Aug. 1, 1876. Thelvelous above system of grading is lower | such r than the one adopted by the county superintendent’s convention held at Indianapolis last May. L. A. Stock-

well. county superintendent. Sept. 14. 1876 There is a rumor

that the school trustees of this city contemplate changing the school books. The Banner protests. It is a poor time for such experiments. This book experiment has been gobig on for years, and if the trustees have not yet succeeded in getting the right kind, it would be well to wait awhile longer. And after all, the progress of the pupil does not depend sc much on the books; it Is the tearh-e-s and the manner In which the

books are used.
