Its sturdy,- un adorned exterior only reflects the extreme care with which every ' loot of interior space has been most admirably utilized. It has been planned throughout for ser vice. . Relief on an evening of stifling heat in mid-summer is assured by the broad open front porch. Com fort, when the winter winds are howling, is promised by the com modious living room. Coziness rules the modest dining room, con venience the well planned kitchen. Three good, well lighted bed rooms and the bath leave little room for the hallway upen which they open on the second floor. All are equipped with closets and there is a linen closet at the head of the stairs, and beside it the clothes ch'te. Tb Common Brick Manufacturer Association. Cleveland.

Two thirds of the plastering on the insides of the rooms has been completed. It is likely that plastering work on this floor will be done by the end of the week. Ml STEM 'SSECSHS WORM Rayon, Artificial Product, ' Now Used Extensively 7 -V in Fine Work j NEW YORK The silk worm, after losing its secret, Is giving yi-way "to the' competition of man's science and machinery. j I Rayon, an artificial ter'ile fab- 1 rlc1 closely resembling, silk in ap- K pearance, is used in the manufac- ture . of hosiery, which consumes I one-fifth of the domestic produc- tion. . and of ribbon, cotton and I woolen goods. Its tensile strength lis greater than cotton and less Uhan silk. r Count Hilaire de Chardonnet was the first to produce rayon and he called it artificial silk when he introduced the fabric at the Paris Exposition in 1864. His inven tion resulted from a study of the organic process which takes place as the silk worm produces silk. Imitating this artificially, he produced a vegetable fiber which organically resembled cotton more than silk. Improvements were made in the process until cellulose, the material constituting the cell walls of plants, could be manufac tured into rayon on a large scale. Many processes are used, but in all some type of cellulose is re duced to a Jelly-like mass and pumped through glass nozzles in which there are" fine' capillary tubes so small as to be invisible to the naked eye. This produces endless threads which are pumped into chemical baths to harden and bleach, them. From this stage, the fibers are spun and handled like islk. The silk like sheen which rayon A' imparts to cotton fabric when wov en into it within the past few months has resulted in a large de mand from the cotton mills of the south and' has greatly stimulated the sale of cotton goods through out the country. Rayon also is used for covering telephone wires and electromag nets, trimming and beading tire fabrics, for doll's hair, artificial flowers, shoe laces suspenders. garter linings and in knit goods. In a statement issued by the Babson Statistical organization it was estimated that the domestic production of rayon was approxi mately 39,000,000 pounds in 1924. as compared with 8.000,000 pounds in 1920 and 2, 450,000 pounds in 1914. This year's output will approxi mate 70,000,000 pounds. One hun dred and forty million pounds was the total of the world's production last year, with the United States leading all other countries. The competition between silk and rayon is reflected In prices. In 1920, raw silk dropped from $18 a pound to $5, while rayon of the unbleached 150 dernier grade was cut from - $6.50 pound to $2. f i'- - i . . t t s I f J See these! 24 pictures of remodeled homes j . t - . in our office THEY are reproduced from photo : graphs of actual homes that have been remodeled and show the home both before and after remodeling.

Lord Mayor's Office About 100 Per Cent With Suffrage you'll never be sorry for it, for the day4has passed when only a fwe people, of the richer classes possessed a silver knife and spoon of their own, which was fitted Into a handsome case and carried about in the pocket. It la nn " especially atlsfying achievement to own fine silver In forks and spoons and other smaller pieces of tablewear, which are always in evidence, for these are the pieces which wide demand has, to an extent, cheapened as it multiplied; you must buy fine ware If you expect to ecap med iocrity of design in such pieces. Remember, in buying any sort of silver pieces, that simplicity of, design is not only in best taste, but makes for ease in cleaning. mm1 Wear Means Good Care The "wear" in silverware de pends largely on the care you give it. Save the cases and bags which come from the Jeweler's with your silverware, and use them to keep it in. If you do not get such cases when yon make your purchases, you can buy special hags of cor rect size and shape for the various pieces; or, you can make the bags yourself, or simply cut squares of cloth to wrap them in. The best material for the bags or cloths is canton flannel, .and it should be of red, gray or green, rather than white, for the jewelers have found that white canton flannel because of the chemical used in its bleach ing, sometimes darkens silver. See that the cases comprise sep arate ections for flat silver. There should be a tape attached to the case, so that it will tie in a neat roll. Put a few pieces of gum camphor into the container to re tard tarnishing of the tableware. Remember, if you care for your ware, you are likely to be satis fied with its "wear."

Putting the "Wear" in Holiday Silver Fv CARLO TT A SOMMERS The new-'ricn woman who en thusiastically told her jewleer that she wouldn't buy a single piece of silverwaj-e "unless Mr. Sterling's name wats on it," knew little about the worth of plated ware as she did about the meaning of the term she tried to use. Sterling silver is that which is 925 parts silver-to 75 parts cop per, fixed as a standard of British silver coinage. It Is, of course. highly desirable if you can afford it, but plated silver, selected with discrimination, will do almost as much to add charm to your table. And it is both durable and easy to clean. If your primary consideration is silverwear that will wear, buy that which is triple-plated. It will give you good, hard service for many years, if you give it reason ably good care. You can get it In attractive designs, too. Nevertheless, real sterling sil ver is in the nature of an acquisi tion for any woman, for silver is one fo the most satisfying metals the artist has-found to use as nis medium in interpreting and rge istering his ideas. So if you can't afford the initial cost of a whole "set," start the business of mak ing your collection bit by bit. A staff of explorers and spe cially trained buyers of mahogany. continually plod through the dense, steaming jungles of Cen tral America and Mexico, in search of genuine mahogany that meets the rigid tests and the high specifications fo rcertain radio cabinets. Little does the average person know of-the perilous adventures and difficulties encountered in securing the genuine mahogany, lugging it to the coast, where it must be kept in fresh water till the ship In which it 19 to be car ried arrives. This is to avoid the teredo worm, scourge of tropical seas, which attacks all wood, honeycombs it and makes it worthless. For the exacting manufacturer, the mahogany must come from Mexico or Central America, as it is conceded to be the only true mahogany aside from that on the Gold Coast of Africa. African mahogany is not especially adapt ed to radio cabinets. Seventy-eight operations, with as many inspections, are required to convert the rough mahogany logs into satin finished radio cab inets, according to the Atwater Kent company of Philadelphia. This firm uses an average of 2 0, OOOvfeet of mahogany a day, ap proximately four feet to a cabi net, i The teacher was giving a prac tical demonstration to the science class. Her subject for the after noon was "Steam and Its Uses." "What have I in my hand?" She asked. "A tin can," came the answer. "Right. Is it an animate or in animate object?" "Inanimate." chorused the class "Correct. Now can any boy tell me how, with this can, it is pos sible to generate a surprising amount of speed and power al most beyond control?" There came no responsive chor us from the class time time, how ever; not even a murmur broke the painful silence. Then, unob trusively, a little boy trembling raised his hand, whilst his com panions eyed him profoundly. "Please, miss," he piped, "tie it to a dog's tail and watch."
