The best way to sell a house is to paint it first. You can get higher rent for a house by painting it. The banker wilklend more money on a well-painted house. These are suggestions made in con- nection with a clean-up—paint-up cam- paign that have arrested a great deal of attention. A prominent banker said: “Of course, it is easier to get a loan on a well-painted house. This is not merely because the house is In better repair and holding its value, but be- cause the very foct that 2 man takes good care of his property- is proof to us that he is not shiftless, that he is provident and that we have a reason- ably certain prospect of getting the loan paid back. “A well-painted house carries its own recommendation, even as a man who is careful about the neatness of his appearance makes a much more favorable impression than one who is careless.” When nature takes on a new dress, Mrs, Walter Coen spent the day at David Carnegie’s home at Spur. A number of car loads of potatoes ‘have been shipped from this spur. Locating Ore Beds. Beds of ore are stated to have been located at a distance of two .gnd a half miles by-the electrical method patented in the United States by Pro- fessor R, A. Fessenden. In the locality where the existence of valuable ores is suspected, a number of holes sev-~ eral miles apart are bored, then filled with water, and a Fessenden sound os- cillator is immersed in one as a trans- mitting apparatus, the rcceiver sub- merged in each of the other holes be- ing an Einthoven recording oscillo- graph. The holes may be five miles or more apart over the area being in- vestigated. In the study of the oscil- lograph records, special attention is glven to the relation between sounds received direct and those from echoes, and it 1s found possible to get a fair idea of the character of intervening masses of rock and of the position and | distance of neighboring deposits of ose. World’s Greatest Soldier. Physically, Foch is a Iittle man, his inches are about those of Napoleon, and he has Grant’s fondness for the cigar. Like Joffre, a southerner, he has frankness of speech which his old commander has never displayed. Un- like Petain his words are rarvely caus- tic and he has made friends among all bis allies. An old man, close to sev- enty, yet younger than Clemenceau, he was still handsome when the war be- gan, but the strain has marked his face and only his eyes reveal an un- shaken spirit.—Frank H. Simonds in Metropolitan, Sing Sing Jail Short of Labor. The labor shortage has hit even Sing Sing, which has a stationary sup- ply of 1500 men. The officials are puzzled because they are unwilling to employ women. Although Warden Moyer has an allowance for a maid, he never has hired one. The only woman ever employed within the pris- on walls, a telephone operator, left after a few days, saying that there were too many men. Enterprising Alaskan Village. Noorvick, @ native village near Nome, Alaska, is sald to be the only Eski- mo village in northern Alaska possess- ing electric lights and a wireless plant.

ECONOMY IN WAR-TIME DRESS Women of Connecticut File Report With Council of National Defense Showing Conservation Plan. The triumphant application of war- time economy to the dress problem is announced in a report received by the woman's commniittee of the Washing- ton, D. C., council of national defense from its Connecticut branch. Far from resorting either to bloom- ers or standardization, the woman's committee of Conugcticut recently exe hibited at the state fair, according to its report, six costumes, each one cost- jag less than $30 and each of which it {lescribes and recommends as follows: “Street dress, made on tailored Ilnes, 1o be worn with a simple hat and sen- sible shoes. “A military tweed coat, very durable. “A chambray dress very dignified looking. | “A calico dress. “A combination serge and silk dress, showing the possibility of making over dresses and combining materials. “A georgette dress, suggested for a wedding gown.” The suggestion is also made that the rt of a dress of suitable ma- terial can read be transformed inte | a suit for a Poy. whieh is why not be in harmony? is a sugges- tion for “clean-up—paint-up” that carries an appeal to most folks, It is also pointed out that woodwork kiln- dried by furnace fire, in spring is actu- ally parching and famishing for re- freshing paint. Again the suggestion is made that when the east winds are high it is dangerous not to have your windows carefully puttied. EASY TO HAVE ATMOSPHERE Matter That Should Have Careful Thought When One Is Contem- plating Building a Home. Many factors enter into the work of building a home that are not con- cerned, simply, with the work of de- signing or the mechanical processes that go into the building of the house and we soon discover and realize that the designing and building of a house is, after all,” but the first preliminary step in the establishment of a home. The house is important, of course, and if it is not Jjust as it ought to be in every particular, the operation will be a complete failure. And it is of special importance be- fore you build, that you know just whit you want your house te suggest in the way of newness or old-fash- jonedness or an atmosphere of historic association, and you shou!d also know how the result you wisk can be se- cured. Your house need not be old to pos- sess what seems to be rn atmosphere redolent with memories of the .good old days, and if you will but choose your architect with proper care, he will know how to give to your new home that atmosphere which one well- known designer of colonial houses— Joy Wheeler Dow—ca'ls the dramatic quality in architecture. — Rawson Woodman Haddon, in House Beauti: ful. Ornamental Lamp Posts. There is no feature of municipal equipment that adds more to the at- tractiveness of a city's appearance than do ornamental street lamp posts of artistic and appropriate design. Just as the effectiveness of interior decora- tions and furnishings depend in a largn measure upon lighting fixtures, so the beauty of the street can be en- henced or marred by its lights. In each case a satisfactory solution of the Mghting problem counsists not only in sapplying sufficient tlumination but also in providing lighting equipment that harmonizes with its surroundings and possesses a beauty of its own. The old-time lamp post In vogue be- fore the days of electricity fulfilled the second of these conditions but not the first; for, although the post itself was often a work of art, its feeble ofl or gas flame seldom was equal to the task of illuminating the street. On the other hand, the modern overhead arc lamp gives a fairly satisfactory light, but the unsightly poles, ropes. wires and other equipment for raising and jowering the lamp can scarcely be called beautiful. Now comes the orna- mental street lamp post, which com- bines the beauty of one of its prede- cessors and the utility of the other.— Thomas J. Davis, in the House Beau- tiful, Panoramic Object Lesson. Two and a half miles of corridors in the state, war and navy® building at Washington are a panoramic object lesson in the use of tinted walls to re- flect the light. This is a really economic experiment that has been proved a great saving in the cost of lighting. The light-reflect- ing values of the various tints of paints are now understood 'ty the skillful painter. 4 Many industrial establishments, schools, hospitals and office buildings in the eapital have reduced their light- fog costs to a marked extent through n of the proper t3 s of intericr paints.
