Planting shrubs all around the house will also serve fairly effectively to Cement conceal this broad strip. foundations are perhaps the worst offenders In foundations, because the white of cement is so conspicuous. One interesting example of beautifying was recently cited: The house was of a light chocolate color, and the trimming, cream. Against the walls of the house, the white foundation was extremely tigly. The painter cleaned the surface of the concrete well, applied a coat of cement and concrete paint In a color to match the siding; when it was dry he applied a coat of paint, harmonized well wih the siding and the foundation disappeared from sight NV 1 ? , VeHAMPION'S sire sillimanite insulator Special analysis electrodes re. sist pitting and burning bj the utmost.

It may have been In that fierce little fight at Cantlgny. Or It may have been In the gloomy fastnesses of Belleau Wood or somewhere on the historic Fomme that death found him In burst of shrapnel, a spray of machine gun fire or a bayonet thrust But that doesn't matter, either. The thing that does count Is that "he died fighting," onder the Stars and Stripes. No one knows his name. It may have been Just plain Smith. Then again. It may have been JIurphy or MacDonald or CJarnowskl or Muller or Isaacs.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE FIRST LADY OF THE LAND Following the custom of other years. President and Mrs. Coolidge led the nation In 1927 In paying tribute to the country's dead he may have been a man whom any one of us once knew. But whatever may be the reason why the symbolism of the Unknown Soldier has such a powerful hold on us, the fact remains that few Americans who visit the capital of their country fall to muke a pilgrimage to this hallowed spot There they find that Uncle Sam pays a tribute to this son of his, not alone on special occasions such as Memorial day and Armistice day, but upon every day In the year. For, standing guard over this spot. Is a khakl-clafigure, a soldier In the United States army. The story of this vigil la one of the Interesting parts of the romantic story of the Unknown Soldier. It was told In a recent dispatch from Washington as follows: "The soldiers who stand guard ten hours every day ot the tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington regard their selection as one of the most cherished military honors. d fellow-Americans- ., CCOCOOOOOCOC Unknown?

"But to the soldier It is a different story. He Is proud of his lot He gets a tremendous kick In walking those 31 steps np and 31 steps back. And If a crowd Is around the minutes fairly rush by. Eyes to the front, shoulders back, chin In, rifle on shoulder In precise position, he paces back and forth, hardly aware of the strain. "The guard detail at the Unknown's tomb Is supplied for 45 days nt a time from the engineers at FL Humphreys, the Infantry at Ft. Washington and the cavalry at FL Myer. Eight men are chosen from each of these posts. They are selected In competition for neatness In dress, drill, manners and discipline. Each detail guards the tomb for 15 days, and the sentinel walks up and down In front of the tomb three hours and twenty minutes each day. The remainder of the day he Is free. "Aside from the fact that selection for at the tomb Is no honor, other factors make duty the a popular one with the soldiers, imr-- . lng the 15 days they are free from hit other duties "The primary purpose of having an honor guard Is to make certain that nothing shall be done that will constitute disrespect to the Unknown Soldier Formerly, visitors were In the habit of slttlns on the tomb, eating lunch there and scntfilng litter about the grave.
