That .Wants Bungalow Type Home INFERTILE EGGS BEST PRESERVED Only Fresh, Clean and Sound Should Be Used. Only those eggs that are fresh, clean and sound of shell should be preserved or put down for use next winter. One spoiled egg will, in many cases, cause the entire lot to spoil. To be absolutely sure that the eggs are fresh and the shells sound, they should be candled, says A. G. Oliver, extension poultry man at the "An North Carolina State college. old shoe box may be used for this purpose by cutting holes In it to fit the egg and fitting It over a. lamp or an electric bulb. This test will show up any porous or cracked shells and will also show if germination has started. This is a safety-firs- t precaution and, as it takes only a few minutes time, should be practiced by every housewife before putting down any eggs. For best results Infertile eggs should be used but fertile eggs can be used with good results if they are put down each day. If this Is done the danger of germination will be eliminated. Never wash the egg before preserving as this removes the natural protective coating on the shell. In preparing the solution, Mr. Oliver advises one quart of water glass to nine quarts of pure water. The water should be boiled and cooled before mixing with the water glass. For containers, a clean stone jar is the best but tin or wood vessels may be ufted. A jar will hold about fifteen dozen eggs. Mr. Oliver states that the eggs at the , top , of, the container should be f covered by at least one and Inches of the solution. It is not necessary to fill the jar at one time as fresh eggs can be added each day, taking care, however, that the eggs on top are always covered with the solution. The containers should be kept covered to prevent evaporation and should be stored in a cool place un til needed. - FAIR PLAY Many people prefer the bungalow type of home because of Its greater convenience and arrangement, all on a single floor.

The bungalow type of home is preferred by many people because of the convenience of its room arrangement, the rooms being all on one floor. The climate of California made this design popular because it could be constructed cheaply, there being no necessity for a basement to house the heating plant, neither was there need house. for a tight weather-proo-f Architects in every section of the country have Improved upon the California design and now many thou- - six-gall- one-hal- Give Good Ventilation During Summer Months First Floor Plan. sands of bungalow homes built of all types of building materials are found in both cities and the smaller towns. The bungalow shown in the accompanying illustration is not a true Awnings Beautify the Home and Add Comfort No matter how beautiful the shrubbery adorning a house, how complete Plenty of ventilation should be provided for brooder houses during the hot summer months, advises John Vandervort, extension poultry specialist of the Pennsylvania State college. Ventilators at the rear of the chicken house and windows at the front and on the sides should be kept open to allow free circulation of air, Mr. Vandervort says. Results of poultry demonstrations among college flocks prove 'that pullets reared in hot, stuffy houses are likely to be stunted and unprofitable. Frequent cleaning of the house in the summer is necessary also to prevent flies from breeding and to keep the air In the building pure. Course wire netting placed around the roosts will keep the pullets from the manure, one means" of helping to prevent tapeworm infestation. the appointments inside, the conveniences that lessen miladys cares and no matter how charming the house from a standpoint of architecture, It is the awnings that add the final touch to the home that means comfort and beauty. Then i$ so much character expressed in awnings today, so much harmony of colors that blend into the house and bring out its full beauty and so much comfort during hot summer days on spacious verandas without them. Not only do awnings protect from the glare of midsummers sun, but they are absolutely essential for many other reasons. Awnings should be selected with as much care as milady selects her hat, color, style, harmony and many other things considered. I Plan Home, Then Look for Suitable Location .

As the poults grow olde? and the season advances the heat can be gradually reduced until they require little heat. labor-savin- g In considering a site for your own home it is best that your lot be at least 40 feet wide. A lot narrower than this does not permit a proper distance between buildings, and cuts off the necessary amount of air and light. A reasonable space is also necessary in order to guard against spread of fire from one building to another. A lot that is too narrow necessitates a' certain type of house one that is long and narrow, and this is not usually the most attractive style. On the other hand, a lot that is too wide is a source of unnecessary labor and expense. There will be more terrace or curb lawn to care for and a longer expanse of sidewalk to build and keep clean. 'The assessment for street improvements is also estimated from the number of feet frontage. A lot should not he selected that is too shallow for a few outbuildings, a clothes yard and a small space for vegetables or flowers.

While this method has for some time been adopted for industrial use, it is only in recent years that It has made its way, to any extent, into residential practice. It is practical for every type of surface and in many instances has emphatic advantages in addition to that of bedevice. ing a In painting exteriors, wherever there are rough surfaces such as stucco shingles or rough clapboarding, the spray gun offers special advantages, simplifying the work and reducing the time required. It is both difficult and slow to brush coat such surfaces. With the growing practice of painting stucco there is no doubt that the use of spray painting machines will increase even more rapidly than mighl; otherwise be expected. labor-sqvin- g Clinker Brick Now V .Used for Buildings Ten years ago the clinker brick, because it frequently came out of the kiln with the fused appearance of a real furnace clinker, was a total loss to the manufacturer and usually was chuckled into the rubbish heap or the dump.

Policeman Thousands of Clocks Must Tick in Unison The British post office can claim to have the biggest collection of clocks in the kingdom. More than 20,000 timepieces have to be kept perfectly synchronized, although thousands of these are "behind scenes and are used only for timing Junction and trunk telephone calls. Every day at 10:00 a. m. and 1 :00 p. m. Greenwich time Is telegraphed to chief post offices in England, Scotland, Wales and" North Ireland. In point of size the second collection in the kingdom Is probably that distributed among the royal palaces. There are 1,000 pieces, of which Windsor castle and Buckingham palace, have most At Sandringham all clocks have been kept half an hour fast ever since the time of King Edward. In the houses of parliament there are about 500 clocks, necessitating a great deal of winding and vigilant synchronization. Table Is .Work of Art Three years of tireless effort have made Barton W. Blair, of Marion, Ohio, the possessor of a library table that Is regarded as a work of art Without the use of a single nail or screw, Burton has made a table that many collectors would like to own. The top is constructed of 1,557 pieces of wood, seventeen kinds being used to give the desired color effect. The table contains three designs, the Masonic square and compass, composed of sixty-twpieces of wood, and the American Legion emblem. Blair is a World war veteran.
