The ceHtmr Is stinlhirly It Pays to Construct Full-Size Basements Tho basement of any building should be the full size of the build ing foundation proper, basements in all R esidences should bo feet Jeep under 'the main floor joint, and In this vicinity should he from 1M lo at; Inches up from the finish yard grade, however this height de pends entirely on the type of house that you are golnjf to build. Home houses do not look so well when they ate set up off the ground, but this does not regulate the depth of the basement at all. Itasemeiitn undet Industrial buildings have to he made to conform with the busi ness that will occupy the. building'. The basement of a residence is the most reasonable of nny part of the house In eoM, and the hulf hasemenlN do not in any way Have enough on the construction of a building to Jimtlfy cutting them down.

Tho walls can be finished in a worm cream tone which uccords with the oak furniture and the .Italian red veiour upholstered. A touch of color Is introduced by hanKlng a tapestry panel over the fireplace. The size of the room decides how fine or coarse the wall textures may he. A fine wall decoration in a lare room will make It appear hare and larger, while u prominent decoration In the .small room makes It look crowded nnd smaller. It fx and will swing open freely. Drainage Important. The floorM should he of nny non delerlorutlng materials, and should he drained properly to tho soil lines, and the floors should he set to slope to these draliui. The base ment shall have a furnace room, fuel room, laundry room, luundry dryer, fruit room, and the storage Closets. Outside entrances to the base ment in some cases are very nece.s sury, and these entrances should be of concrete with concrete steps, and the opening should he protect ed from the storms. Foundations should he nlso of concrete, stone or brick, and should he made water proof, and all foundations should be not h-s than X Inches thick, but on light bnlld Ing.t they are made less in many CHHej. Softwood Mills Show Gains During Week A gain In new business was re ported hy 377 of the principal soft wood mills during the week ended May 1C, their orders equaling their production, while shipments were U8 percent of It. Low prices still mnko for unsatisfactory conditions, hut In the trado the opinion seems lo be gaining strength, says the American Lumberman, Chicago, that as the mills become adjusted to quicker transportation and smaller retail stocks, they will re train from forcing lumber on the market fttnter than U can go Into consumption. The southern pine mills had or ders for 3 1-3 percent more than they produced, hut transit car from smaller mills have had ti weakening Influence, and have caused slight declines in common boards nd dimension, though up. per grades and such Hems ns floor ing are fairly firm. The west Cons mills hooked orders for Irt percen; more thnn they cut. hut their op erations are curtailed, for foreign hualnefts Is still lacking and do mestic prices have declined to un unprofitable level. Coast cutting schedules are planned for a shut down, und mill stocks are being re duced. Many logging camps an now Idle, and each week others an closiim down, nnd will proiwbly re main Inactive during the period 01 lire hazard, or until about Sep tember, Het a Hers and Industrial users are placing only small orders for softwoods, and It is unlikely there will be much change In theli policy until good crop returns arc assured, and curtailed lumber pro duction results in a general up ward movement of prices. Totnl hardwood demand from tho large Industrial consuming groups la of fair proportions ami has been Increasing. The wmthcrr producers ore h ss aggressive in Ihetr offerings, while Inquiries be ing received by them and by north ern operators show- some lnentse ThoiiKh prices are still low, market developments Indicate th;tt tin mills may soon be able to seeun better returns.

In the first place, there Isn't room enough in the Jmek-yard garden, whether vege. table or flower garden, to provide a lawn worth framing. Hcsides, the front yard offers sufficient dis play of lawn as the property is u- sually laid out. It Is a very effective plan to make the entire hack yard a flow er garden of formal plan with th" lawn feature restricted to grass paths from two to three JVt wide among the beds. Such a flower garden covering the ( ntire back yard un-a. of about, fit) square feel is u very pleasing and handsome picture and quite as effective as leslgns which call for a pocket handkerchief lawn In the center.
