Mr. William A. Radford will answer
questions and rIvo advice Fit HE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building for the readers of this
paper. On account of his wide experience
as Editor. Author and Manufacturer, he

A well known architect has said
that good house planning Is the sim-
plest and yet the most complex, the
clearest and yet the most subtle, the
plainest and yet the most difficult, of
anything connected with building.
When It comes to the discussion of
design, not even the architects them-
selves can agree. Tho Intricacies of
the subject are bound to got anyone
discussing It Into a tangle when he
comes to explain how a thing ought
to be and why It should be so.
And, after all, house designing Is a
matter of taste. And while that taste
Is, In the first place, that of the ar-
chitect who Is responslblo for the
plans, In reality It Is the taste of those
who are to live within the house and
have It for their home, which should
be considered.
Some general principles of house
designing may be mentioned for the
assistance of those who will be plan-
ning and building new bouses this
season.
A house should be rectangular in
general outline, not square. Skillful,
indeed must be the architect who
would design a perfectly square house
to be attractive In exterior appear-
ance. It has been done with one de-
vice or another, but more often utter
failure has resulted from the selection
of a perfectly square outline to begin
on. Such a house Is a box, and it Is
On the first floor, the parlor, sitting
room, and dining room are exceptional-
ly large and pleasant rooms, all open-
ing together, with wide openings and
sliding doors, so that all can be' used
together. This Is a great convenience
where there Is much company and for
social gatherings.
It will be noticed that a good-sized
bedroom is provided on the first floor
in this house. Tills Is a feature that
is not Included as often os It should
bo In present day houses. If situated

Valuable Bits of Advice for House-
keeper* and Others, Given by
English Magazine.
Some new hints for the housekeep-
er, or for any woman for that matter,
«>e given In an English magazine
called the Matron. For example, ono
needn't bo a housekeeper, or even a
woman, to be glad lo know what to
do when a fishbone Is stuck in one's
throat.
According to this authority the prop-
er thing is to hand the sufferer a
lemon. If it is sueked for u little
while (ho hone will move on. In ono
case It succeeded after the bone had
been In the ihroat two days.
Another use for lemon juice Is to
remove warts. This Is done by drop-
ping It on twice a day.
To retain the color and gloss of a
white silk blouse after washing put a
teaspoonful of alcohol Into the rinsing
water. Tills keeps it from turning yel-
low and gives It when Ironed the gloss
of new silk.
Tp clean the lace yoke and sleeves
of waists sprinkle the lace freely with
powdered borax, then roll It up and
fasten with pins. Let It remain for at
least twelve hours, then shake out
and brush with a clean soft brush.
To remove ink stains from carpets
take a saucer of fresh milk aud a
clean soft rag. Reuew the milk If
necessary and wash flually with clean
water.
To take coffee stains from any ma-
terial rub a little glycerine Into the
stain and then wash with hot Boap
and water.
To prevent milk from scorching
when It Is being boiled sprinkle a lit-
tle sugar into the saucepan after the
milk 1b poured into It. Do not stir
the milk even though the pan Is a
very thin one. The milk will not burn,
but will leave the saucepan as clean
as if only water had been In It.

of tho house, as In this caBe, a first

very hard to make It look like anything
else than a box.
If a house were simply a shelter,
depending entirely on a tight roof and
firm foundations and walls; In other
words, erected solely for use, such a
plain box-llke structure would be all
right. However, the sensible and pub-
lic spirited home builder require*
something more than these. He wants
a residence that will be pleasing in
appearance and will conform In a way
to Its natural surroundings, adding
somewhat to the general architectural
appearance of the town.
With n house of rectangular out-
line, It la a simple problem of design
to produce a structure of agreeable,
wall-proportioned appearance. The In-
terior arrangement will also be found
to work out better with a rectangular
plan, as It allows a better distribu-
tion of rooms. '

spective and floor plans, will show

tive design.
A Japanese Room.
Upstairs I have drifted Into the
Japanese, although I have not confined
myself to It to a painful degree. There
are only three bedrooms. In the first
I have light gray walls, the woodwork
stained a deeper shade of gray, and
the furniture, made on the simplest
cottage lines, also stained gray. The
curtains are of lavender and light blue
cotton crepe with a fascinating Iris
design. The rugs are hand-braided of
heavy lavender wool with bits of the
blue mixed In. The bedspread Is of
gray homespun linen with a monogram
embroidered in white. The dressing
table Is draped with the crepe, and
has a glass top. There are only a few
pictures and those are all gray photo-
graphs of white birches with darker
gray frames.—Jane Calhoun, In Har-
per’s Bazar. ‘
New Type of Stepladder Has Ele-
vated Shelf on Which Pall* or
Tools Can Rest.
A convenient type of stepladder is
that which a Michigan man has re-
cently put on the market. It is espe-
cially adapted for odd jobs about the
house. There are only three steps to
the ladder, but the sides rise as far
again above It, and at the top Is a
shelf, on which may be kept tools,
nails, screws, pails or whatever ap-
purtenances required on the work at
hand. This shelf is large enough to
hold a bucket of water or a pan. if the
The Silent Hour.
Did you ever try the silent hour?
I mean the hour all to yourself, and
• without even a book or newspaper.
Try It for one week, seven' days In
succession, and see what it will do to
you. Take your watch and time your-
selft allowing a full hour. Go into
your private office or your bedroom,
or take a walk by the lake, or creep
off somewhere else alone, and just 1st
your thinking machine run. Guard
against all planning and against all
fermentive thoughts, or anything cal-
culated to heat or absorb you.—Rev.

Strange Site* for Nests.
The remarkable sites sometimes
chosen by birds for their nests are re-
corded from time to time. A robin
builds In a watering can, an old kettle,
or on the book shelf In a library. One
of the most remarkable, perhaps, Is
that recently given in the Emu, and
apparently authentic. On November
10 last, a sheep was being shorn on
the farm of A. Burger. Tetanga, Aus-
tralia. In its wool was found a star-
ling’s nest with one egg. A note In
the Field adds that the nest of a small
bird was once found in a horse’s tall

Mean Suggestion.
Mr. Piumpielgh, fat and SO. was
paying a visit to the country, and, ar-
riving at the deserted station after
dark, he was at a loss to find the exit.
After he had roamed around for sev-
eral minutes a ragged urchin peeped
through the railings. The boy ap-
peared to be vastly amused at the
visitor's solid dimensions.
"Can you show me the way out of
this confounded station?” thundered
Plumpleigh.
The lad eyed him from top to toe.

shelf keeps objects from falling off.
The upper part of the sides, rising
above the top step, form hand rails,
to v.hlch the worker may hold to
steady himself or herself. The ladder
has a new style lock, which holds It
perfectly secure, and when unlocked
and folded up It becomes almost en-
tirely flat, and takes up little room.

flock of pedigreed white Leghorn poul-
try has arrived at the Garth Poultry
farm, Gian Conway, Denblgshlre. The
fowls were obtained from A. H. Pud-

That Is Information Given Out by
Jack Abernathy of Oklahoma, Bet-
ter Qualified for Talk Than
Any Other Person,
Oklahoma City, Okla.—The coyote
has been greatly maligned. Instead of
being the worst coward In the animal
kingdom it is the bravest thing In ex-
istence. That is the information
coming from Catch-'Em-Allve Jack
Abernathy, former United States
marshal, and better qualified for dis-
cussing the coyote, perhaps, than any
other living man.
Recently while discussing coyote-
hunting with some friends, Abernathy
gave utterance to some statements
that are surprising.
"There is a mistaken Impression re-
garding the coyote,” he said. "I have
caught a thousand of them and I
never made one yelp with pain. They
would rather run than fight, but when
they are cornered they fight like the
very old Nick and die without a whim-
per.
“I would rather catch a wolf alive
than a coyote. The wolf Is larger, but
the coyote is quicker.
‘‘The coyote never hunts trouble. 1
never had one attack me unless I had
started the fight. He sleeps the great-
er part of the day and forages at
night. I have noticed that they are
braver at night than in the daytime.
“As tb their intelligence—why, dang
it, they're the smartest things living.
They are more cunning than a fox.
They can ambush a dog with more
skill than a Mississippi nigger can In-
vade a hen roost on a dark night.
Their favorite trick is to ‘double’ on
dogs when being chased. I had a fine
greyhound killed once by this trick.
Three dogs were chasing a coyote.
The trail led through a rough country
SAFETY HATPIN IS INVENTED
and the wolf, as they are commonly
called on the ranges, led the dogs Into
a trap. A half dozen other coyotes
came out from a ravine and took after
the dogs. Suddenly the wolf that was
being pursued stopped and In a mo-
ment there was the all-flredest fight
you ever saw. They killed one of the
dogs before I could get close enough
to unllmber my Winchester and get
Into the game.
‘‘A wolf knows when he Is In danger
and when he Is not. Once I had a
coop of chickens In camp. The coyotes
were prowling about, so I took the'
coop out on the praise not far away
and surrounded It with wolf traps.
Early the next morning I took my re-
volver and went out to see If I had
caught anything. Not a trap had been
disturbed. While I stood there seven
of the rascals snooped up out of the
darkness and surrounded me. *They
came up to within ten feet of me and
I began to expect a fight. I drew
away from them, making toward camp,
thinking to unchain the dogs and have
an early morning chase. They fol-
lowed, but when they caught smell of
the dogs, they took to their heels.
‘‘There Is something queer about
the howling of coyotes. It reminds
me more of Indians dancing than any-
thng else. I think the Indians learned
some of their antics from tho coy-
otes; and then again when you re-
member how smart the doggoned
coyote is, It may have been the other
way, he may have caught the trick
from watching the Indians.
‘‘One night, several years ago, I saw
a coyote come loping along until he
reached a little knoll, where he
stopped. He sat up on hla haunches
and emitted a ghastly long-drawn
yowl. Silence followed; then another
yowl. In ten minutes a dozen other
coyotes gathered around him. In-
stead of sitting up on their haunches
like the first one they circled around
him In a radius of about ten feet In
a kind of a ‘hitch-and-a-trot’ lope,

FUES DISLIKE BLUE PAINT
Also, Little Pasts Are Not Partial to
Hop Vines—Idea Comes
From Franco.
Topeka, Kan.—Dr. S. J. Crumbine,
secretary of the state board of health,
has learned of two methods by which
the common house fly cam be kept
away from kitchens and barns. One
is to paint the barn and kitchen blue,
almost any old shade, and the other
Is to grow hops around the doors.
The blue paint Idea came from
France where two scientists, Marre
and Fe, In the course of some experi-
ments with flies, found that cow
stables which were painted blue In-
side were avoided by files. It was
also observed that kitchens and din-
ing-rooms which were papered in blue
or painted blue also seemed to keep
the flies away as homes within a few
feet where the blue paint or paper
was not used were Infested with the
pesls.
Doctor Crumbine Is working out
some experiments himself regarding
the growing of hops around the kitch-
en door*. A missionary from India
told Doctor Crumbine that hops were
used by the natives of India In th#
place of screens. The hop vines were
allowed to grow all over the little
but*, and the people were never
bothered with flies. Doctor Crumbine
and several of his assistants have s*C
out hop vines around the back door a
The vines are growing all over the
buildings, and Doctor Crumbine Is
watching the vines this summer to
note whether or not the hops ar*
really effective against the flies.
