BOYf COLONIAL HOUSE- (Conducted hy National Council, ( tke Bojr Scouts of Am.rioe.) L ' , PINCHOT BOOSTS SC0UTIN6 Glfford rincliot, commissioner of for estry for the state of Peiiusjjvaula, li highly enthusiastic about the scout program and believes that through scouts much can he acconipllsheii Id Interesting the public In conservation measures. In his foreword to the ' booklet cntllied "The Boy Scouts' First Hook of Forestry," written by Jo seph s. lllkk and published under the auspices of the I'uus.vlrania depart ment of forestry, he makes the follow ing Interesting stniement: "Scouting Is worth while. It makes real boys and then turns them Into real men. A good scout makes a good American. A good American makes a good citizen, and good American citi zens make the first nation In the world. "Scouting Is good fun. but It Is a lot more than that. It Is tie best kind of preparation for whatever life Is lo bring in the days ahead. A goml scout Is seldom or never caught unprepared, and a man who has grown up out of a boy scout is always ready to meet the present and the future with head up, eyes front, and shoul ders back. "There Is a lot more In the United States than can be seen from a street car. It Is the land, and the boys and men, girls and women who know the land, who make the strength of thla and Bny other country. Not the least valuable thing about scouting Is that it tenches (lie city boy to know the country, and the country boy to know the country better than he otherwise would. "The forest Is not only the mother of the fountnin, but the mother of men as well. Our ancestors lived In the fnrcst. We live upon it. Wood Is still the most useful of all materials, nnd -will continue to be for many years after you and I have passed to our reward, "Scouts rentier services of great value to their nation and Rtate by un derstanding the forest and taking part in lis protection. It is Just as Impor tant for people to think about prevent ing forest llres as It Is for them to think rightly about preventing llres In n l&wn, or any other similar calamity. When you help to make people respect and appreciate the forest you help In Its protection. "An understanding of the forest and of the conservation of all natural re sources -is trowing, rapidly among scouts.' "In two yenTa the number of badges awarded to boy scouts In for estry grew from 133 In IIM7 to MS in j)ll). I would like to see still more awarded in Pennsylvania. , . "Every scout who gets this book will, I, hope, not only study Its pages, but take It with him into the forest, compare . what Is here printed with what he finds outdoors; Snd so get to know the forest, which is the home of scouting, and a great necessity for the welfare of the human race." , HOW SCOUTS CAN THE CAN Boy Scouts Render Most Valuable As sistance In Clean-Up Campaign, ? SCOUT PRINTERS. Scouts of St. Paul's Episcopal church did their own printing for a recent affair nnd it s said that the boys' work would have done credit to professional printers. Printing Is one of the merit badg. subjects open to first class scouts. Two hundred scouts qualified for this badge In IMB. as ncalnst 85 In 1B18 and 62 In 1017. Many troops are now printing their own small scout publications. Who knows bow many printrrs-to-be are getting their first taste for the pro fession In these practical scout stunts?

'" y William a. radford. Mr. William A. Radford will anawer queatlons and 1v advice KREB OF COST on all aubjecte pertalnln to the eubj.ct of bulldlni, for the readers of thla paper. ' On account of hla wide experience ai Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he la, without doubt, the highest authorltr on all theae aubjacte. ' Addraaa all Inquiries to William A. Radford. No. 1827 Prairie avenue, Chicago. III., and only lncloae two-cent stamp for reply. It was not until the last few years, comparatively, that American archi tects recognized the beauty of the homes that were erected In New Eng land during the first century after the landing of the Pilgrims. Many of these homes are still in a splendid state of preservation and still arc oc cupied. But until recently their own ers could not aee any beauty In their plain llues and weather-beaten exte rior. Now, however, this type, of archi tecture, which waa originated by the builders of the Serenteenth century, It most popular. Colonial homes of all sizes and constructed of all the differ ent sort of building materials are erected throughout the country. The chief charm of the exterior of a co lonial house Is Its simplicity and bal ance. Kaeh window has a counterpart on the opposite side of the main en trance door, which Is placed exactly In the center of the bouse; there Is tittle oit;mpt Ht rtwonirivo rrct. ttic exemption being tire porch pillars nml the fun-shaped lijrbts over the door. But there In a cluirm about thtve houses that appeals to every home builder. Then, too, the shape of the house ia such thnt every foot of the Inte rior Is usable. This will be noted from the floor plan thdt accompanies the exterior viuw of a small colonial house shown herewith. The same bal ance that marks the Exterior of the house Is maintained in the interior; the rooms are divided olmo.t equally by a central entrance hall, out; of which runs the stnlrs to the eetiond floor. Here, also, the balance & "con tinued, there beinr a bedroom on each corner, with the same number of win dows and each one oh readily acces sible to the hall as another. This home Is of frame construction, set on a masonry foundation that may 3 r r i M er- ft First Floor Plan. be ellhT of stone, a.e shotrn here, or of brick or concrete In any nf Its forms.' The exterior walls are cov ered with shitij;le. tn'a'tcd so that Ihoy bae Ihe "slh-ery sheen that marks the colonial htiuse that has been xposed for. many years to the salt., tvlnd from the ocean. fJreen blinds and white wlnddw casfngs itive a color contract lo the exterior that Is pleas Ins. . The "v'en roions In the Interior are living and dinlns room and kitchen on tJie lirst ttio'r. llh four beifrooms and' the batbnjom on the sc.end floor.

Thla lug a earner rjmm, wltb windows on . .u aides, also is a bright and cheerful room. Hack of the dining room Is goodlzed kljchen, 11 by 9 feet Inchest with a large pantry off It. An other good feature, of the first floor Second Floor Plan, plan is the lavatory at the end of the hall at the rear of the house. Upstairs are four oedroems. one on each comer of the bouse. All of the rooms are practically the same size. 115 by 10 feet. The bathroom l at the end of the hall at the front. Each room has a good-sized closet. Stairs lead lo the attic, which because of the high pitch of the roof Is ralher large and provides ample storage room for the family. The cellar: of' this house is'cxca vaied the same size as the walls, and provlil-a large amount of storage room, besides a place for the heuting plant, and fuel storage. The cost of tills bonne Is not irreat. Its design belnit such that It ran be erected with the utmost economy In materials and labor. At the same time It provides accommodations for a family of more than the average size. The arrangement la uch that the work of carina for It can he done with a minimum of effort, while all tlie room are airy and comfortable. ' Home builders who are planning up on erecting that long-contemplated house this year cannot do better than select such a design as this. The co lonial Is a style'' of architecture that marks lis owner lis an American who Is proud of the building genius of the early settlers; at the same time, the colonial, to many minds. Is the most beautiful of all styles of homes. During . the last few months the cost of building, like almost every thing else, has come down remarkably. While prices ail lit are higher than In 1014. when It cost less to hjilld than at any time during the last half c. tiiry, they are much lower than during any of the war years, or the last two years. Home ere needed and needed badly, and everyone connected with th building business predlcta that Ibis will be a banner year. This being true. It Is good Judgment to start building operstlona as esrly as possible. This will' Insure that the' new home Is ready for occupancy early In the summer.
