PLANNING HOME IS BIG TASK Many Problems of Location and Con- struction Must Be Solved Before Excavations Are Started. A location for a home should be & site with a restful aspect. Home bulld- ers should persistently and seriously consider all of the numerous features entering into the’ situation ‘and con- struction of a house which they them- selves are to occupy. Very many problems of location and construction must be solved even be- fore excavations for a home are start- ed. All members of the family which 1s to be the first occupant of the build- ing should be privileged, in fact, they should be invited, to freely express thelr ideas as to proper location and construction, both as to type or archi- tecture, and construction materials. Every requisite of those who are to nceupy the house, every possibility and limitation should be carefully consid- ered and decided upon before the site is chosen and before the plans are drafted. If part of the family goes to business each day it will be necessary to con- struct the home near a railway sta- tion or trolley line. " If there are chil- dren of school age In the family it is Smperative for the young folks' wel- fare to select a bullding site in a com- munity with good schools and to locate the home within a reasonable distance of the school or schools which the chikdren will attend. These and other detalls should be given careful consid- eration. TURNING SEWAGE INTO ASSET British City Shows How Profit Can Be Made by Scientific Handling ol Waste Effluent. Through iastallation’ of modern sew- erage and garbage disposal systems many cities of this country are secur- Ing valuable by-products from waste, but our municlpalities could probably emulate to advantage the method adopted by an English city in creating an asset out of a waste effluent diffi- eult of disposal, says the Manufac turers’ Record. According to a state- ment in commerce reports by the Unit- “ed States consul at Bradford, England, that city recovers the grease in the sewage coming from many wool-wash- tng and scouring establishments lo- eated there and turns it into a profit- able by-product. , This grease by-product is sald to be of value in the leather-dressing trade and to some extent in branches of the textile industry. The sales of the recovered grease by the sewage. works of the city of Bradford were reported to amount tc $389,320 in 1916 at the present high price of $122 a ton, and it is estimated that for this year over $340,000 will be realized from this source, in addition to nearly $25,000 derived from the sale of manure or fertilizer made from the sludge left after the extraction of the grease. Because of the development of this by-product it is thought the Bradford sewnge work will be self: supporting in 1917, Danger in Municipal Pigs. One method of disposing of garl is that adopted by many munici - ties of feeding it to pigs. Approxi- mately 10 per cent of the total col- lection in 1009, according to reports of eities of 30,000 and over, was hen- dled in this manner. Thls may by a slight improvement ovey dumping it, but only for small places where the garbage can be handled before 1. de- eays. So serious a matter is this sys- tem that the state of Cotoracd> has passed a law compelling all meat mar- kets to state whether the pork sold by them was fed on untreated garbage. Another state board of health finds that of 1,000 hogs fed on city garbage, 33 per cent had tuberculosis. “The idea of eating garbage-fed pork is disgust- ing,” says one mayor. The eating of it may be injurious. Hainault Forest. Hainault forest, where the London sounty council golf courses will be elosed for the remainder of the war, bears a title that teruwients the anti- quaries, some of whom have gone to Germany for a derivation. But “Hain- ault” is really a modern corruption of a word variously written “Hineholt” or “Henholt,” which stands obviously for the Saxon hean-holt, meaning “worth- less wood.” This same name of “Hyneholt” was formerly borne by part of the royal forest near Colches- ter. Anciently Hainault forest com- prised that portion of the great forest of Waltham which lay south and east of the River Ruding, and was admin- istered by the same officials as Ep- ping forest—London Chronicle.
