Vakinjr the most of one's re
sources is becr.ming more and more
imperative in these days of high
costs. And with this home one
can do just that. 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

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

Final coat of stucco ha3 been
applied to the side walls of the
YilCA building under construc
tion on Court between Church and
Cottage streets. The stucco work
hag been done from the front of
each wall to the wall of the Rym
nas'uiji. Stucco on the grm walls
will begin this week, If weather
permits.
Final coat has also been applied
to the walls of the court that al
low a shaft of light down through
the center of the building. Work
of laying tin on the roof portions
of the' court was completed Satur
day. In the main gymnasium a bal
cony has been constructed. A
long steel girder. Imbedded in the
concrete of the side walls, supports
the section along the south length
of the gym. Each of the side sec
tions Is supported by a girder im
bedded in the north wall at one
end and riveted to the long girder
at the other.
An iron railing extends the
length of the three sections. This
is supposed by iron posts suspend
ed from the girders supporting
the ceiling. The floor of the bal
cony has been laid. Besides this
progress in the main gym. the
ceiling has been placed completely
and has been oiled, now being
ready to receive the lighting fix
tures. Plastering of the outside as
well as inside of the rooms and
halls of the third floor is finished.
The rooms are now ready to re
ceive their finishing coat and
lighting fixtures. Then the laying
of the floor will be the only work
left for this floor until the fur
nishings - e installed.
Lathing has been completed on
the second floor. 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.

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.

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.
