| ete; o Averaging $20.57 a month with board, REAL CAPECODLINES SHOULD BE TRUE Attain Greatest Charm When Kept True to Type, Says Article. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK. November 9.—Cape Cod houses, those picturesque and dis- tinctive small homes, so symbolic of | the early seafaring days of the Colo- | nies, should really stay true to type | it their owners wish w0 achieve the greatest charm in their homes. Not | only should the exteriors be true to | form, but the interior decoration | should follow the traaitions of the | Cape Cod homes as well In the current issue of the National Painters’ Magazine, an article ap- pears that lists some of these speci- fications. “Cape Cod houses are divided into two distinct classes,” it says. “First, | those that have clapboard or shingle | walls painted white: and second, those where the shingles arc allowed to weather to a soft gray. In either case the trim and sash are invariably painted white, the blinds green and the doors either green or white. In| Tecent years there has been @ tendency ESTATE. on the part of persons who leased the | cottages on the cape to paint the blinds and doors in bright colors— blues, reds, vellows, etc.—but this is| not strictly in the spirit of the earh Cape Cod tradition. “The ceilings of your true Cape Cod | cottage are usually done in water color | tinted to suit, and, in the oldest houses, the water color was put on quite heavy, often showing a slightly streaked appearance. This. of course, came from amateur Nowadays the bath room and kitchen ceilings are often done with oil paint. “Floors are painted n dark reds, grays and greens and. in the best rooms. are often spattered with light contrasting colors. “Inside trim, sash ana doors, are usually dark ivory or deep cream,” the article explains. “This color is used * throughout the house—with the pos- sible exception of the kitchen—where | walls and trim alike are painted a soft apple green or yeliow.

There are 14 species in the genus Ensis, scattered over the world where there are warm, tem- perate ceas. At one time these razor clams, as they are commonly called, were more abundant. At low tide you can easily see them the entrance to their dugouts, where they have come_up to get a fresh supply of air. The slightest vibration from your footsteps on the sand and you may be startled by a tiny jet of water shot into the air. At the same time, the foot, which is thick and strong, changes into razor | thinness, and with a downward slant- msz movement, has carried its owner into the sand. This member of the unusual family \is very common along the New Eng- land coast and southward, and often reaches a length of 6 inches. The| shell is white and thin and covered‘ with a glossy green skin. It is long transverse, and may be straight or | | curved. When gaped open, it may be | rather square looking at the ends. The hinge has two lower teeth and three upper ones. Inspect the shell carefully, and you | can see the growth lines, which are | joined in the center of each valve | with cross lines. The sipnons are short | and divided. It is said that English clam diggers sprinkle salt at the mouth of the burrow, and the clams, in order to remove the irritant, come to the sur- face to spout. Oil, too, causes the clam to come up at once for air. Then the fisherman slips his clam shovel | under the sand with very nus!yinz' results. Neapolitan fishermen use their toes to fish with. They wade into the water, | and poke their toes into the burrows, catching the clams between the first | and second toe. Of course it takes practice to avoid the sharp, razor-| like shell blades, and tnis method is by no means recommended to Amer- icans, especially tenderfeet | Razor clams have mnot been so eagerly sought in this country, because SAVE $500 NOW A beautiful, new Colonial brick on a wooded lot 50x100 in select AMERICAN UNIVERSITY PARK 4723 48th St. N.W. ¢ Finest construction throughout. ¢ Six large rooms. e Tiled bath with shower. @ Screened and wenther-stripped; o In" Sulated with 4-inch Tock wool. & No. 1 Black Bangor slate roof {ers and downspouts. e G- E.

But it is claimed that the razor clam is very delicious and tender. They are rather sociable, and live together in colonies, which to the clam digger, is a highly commendable procedure on their part. They have eyes much like those of the scollops; that is, ocelli or small eves, which fringe on the mantle edge that is about the siphons. Their sight is apparently very poor. A shad- | ow, even if only of a cloud. seems to be enough to send them below. Traveling about in the water, the clam snaps its two valves together with swiftness and dispatch, as it finds the tiny creatures moving around it They are swift travelers, one legged though they be. If you hold one firmly, he jerks this hand foot back | and forth in a desperate effort to release himself. Once he finds him- | self on the sand, he goes swiftly out of sight. (Copyright 1935 l MRS.

Continued improvement in the farm credit situation during the coming year is in prospect, says the Bureau of Agricultural Economics in its an- nual outlook report. The need for short-term credit | probably will be somewhat larger than | in 1935. Unless there is a rapid turn- over in farm land the need for new long-term credits will be substantially smaller than in 1935. The supply of both short and long term credit avail- able for farmers will be larger rela- tive to the needs than fof several years. In most areas farmers are in an | easler financial position. Increased income in 1935 has enabled more farmers to pay off their current debts and to make some reduction of old obligations. More farmers, it is stated, have been able to accumulate & little surplus to take care of ex- Enhance Its Beauty. In the last two years many changes have been made in the tech- nique of mahogany finishing. At one time it was the custom to stain | mahogany a very deep red, which virtually obliterated thé grain of the wood. ‘Toaay wood-finishing con- | cerns are producing furniture that re- sembles the fine rich old pieces to be found in museums—mostly of a golden brown, amber or sherry color. | Instead of building up a high gloss | finish on the surface of the wood they are now applying tough, dull finishes that make the furniture much more serviceable and that enhance the beauty of the wood. These fin- ishes are virtually scuff proof and can be kept looking well with a mini- mum of effort. | Protect Your Health Keep Out of Drafts Use Monarch METALANE WEATHERSTRIP Truem Weres 9 the Meseron Mese: Westhormre Cors Will pay for itself in montbs in fuel savil esti cost of inte savings.

No large areas have suffered com- plete loss of crops and, although crops have been small in some States, higher prices and payments by the Agricul- tural Adjustment Administration have offset these losses to some extent. Thus the amount of distress borrow= ing should be less than in recent years. The bureau points out, however, for working capital funds. Higher wages for farm labor and possible in- creases in the price of some of the things farmers buy may necessitate a greater outlay for expenses. Portugal’s Colonies.
