Here Is a small homey cottage1,
one that is large enough for com
fort, yet not so large as to' cause
extra work for the housewife.
Upon entering the living, room;

UttJri' fireplace will attract attention.
It is advantageous to' build an in
side fireplace, making one chim
ney with two flues do for the
kitchen range also. And it af
fords quite a saving in face brick.
i .
The kitchen is very convenient,
with sufficient cupboard space
' close to the sink. The nook will
3eat four people nicely.
There are two large-well-ven-:
tllated bedrooms, with roomy
closets. A small hall opens into
chambers, living room and bath,
. and has a linen case..
This small house, with an ap-
propriate landscape, will make a
very pretty picture.

' Through the splendid, .wide
spread support It has received, the
Better Homes In America move
ment makes for soundness at the
rot of our 'American social and po
litical structure, according to Her
bert Hoover, Secretary -of Com
merce. Mr. Hoover, as president
of Better Homes in America In
an : opening statement concerning
the 192 S campaign of this nation
al education movement, lays em
phasis on home as th,e source of
the most essential training the
men and women of tomorrow re
ceive to equip them to meet the
I problems that will press upon
them in later life.
The Hoover statement is a fore
word to the Guidebook for .the
1926 Better ; Homes campaign,
which under the active direction
of Dr. James Ford,; maintains its
national headquarters at Washr
ington, D. C This book Is
placed in the hands of the many
hundreds of local volunteer Better
Homes chairmen throughout the
country. In 1925 2000 cities,
towns and rural communities took
part in the Better Homes .move
ment. According to present indi
cations this number will be con
siderably surpassed in 1926, more
than 1000 local committees . hav
ing been formed at the beginning
of this year.
Mr. Hoover's statement is as
follows:
The Better Homes movement
stands on the belief that our. peo
ple, by well-planned 'measures,
can obtain for themselves a finer
type of home and family life. The
splendid and widespread support
that has been given it makes for
soundness at the very base of our
whole social and political struc
ture. It is in our homes and f am
ily circles that the children of
each generation receive the most
essentlaUpart of the training they
need as men and women to go
forth and meet the problems that
press . upon them. ..From our
homes each day come those who
produce and distribute necessary
commodities and carry on ' the
government and other enterprises.
The .highest and . most enduring
social relationships are' those o
the family, and most men and
women find the welfare of their
families to be life'stnost impell
ing motive.
Home-making Is still as much 'a
matter of personal character and
unswerving maintenance ot stan
dards as It ever was. On the
housekeeping side, however, it in
volves wider knowledge and a
greater range of alternatives to
choose from than ever before-
New equipment and devices are
constantly becoming available and
the results of systematic study are
shedding new light on various
household problems affecting
health and happiness. Further
more, millions'' of our families
must adapt themselves more or
less often to changed circumstanc
es of living because of movement
between country and city, be
tween regions with different cli
mates, and between apartments
and houses of different sizes, and
because of changes in Jncome.
Systematic study of nome-mak-
ing under a great variety of con
ditions is evidently needed. , The
uetier tiomes committees, oy a
division of tasks, are - able to go
into - many problems - more thor
oughly than a single overworked
housewife, and through the dem
onstrations present - t heir .conclu
sions in practical form. In a num
ber of cities this has involved
showing several houses, each spe
cially fitted to the needs of a par
ticular group of families.
'The, local committees which
kept the cost of their demonstra
tion houses, furnishings, and
equipment within 8? carefully .de
vised budget have done the most
toward solving their local hous
ing problem. ' They have faced
the same problems aa the families !
which have to piece out limited
funds with brains and ingenuity
and the work of their hands. ; 1
Permanent school practice
bouses built and owned by our
public schools and colleges, em
bodying high standards or archi
tecture, construction,, and furn
ishing, are another Important part
of the movement. 'Education for
homemaking should be available
to all) and is best given under real
istic conditions.
The work of Better Homes com
mittees has promoted character
training in the home, and reading.
music, and other forms of whole
some home recreation. It has en
couraged saving and wise expendi
ture for the building and equipp
ing of homes, and thereby helped'
to raise living standards, reduce
drudgery, and make the conditions
of life more attractive.
Ot great significance is the or
iginality shown in the local dem
onstrations. Nothing would dead
en the movement more quickly
than the listless following of a
standard ready-made program.
There is nothing finer than a
living tradition, a tradition which
continually spurs men and women
to achievement. Those who are
pioneering the way In Better
Homes demonstrations today can
build up a tradition which will
make the high type of homes, and
the character of the young men
and women who come from them,
the chief pride of the community.
Such a tradition requires a cen
tral point of inspiration, a dyna
mic symbol, and the Better Homes
demonstration fills this need.
Where a demonstration is most
successful, it is usually because
the committee works hard and ob
tains willing assistance, especially
from those whom it directly calls
upon. The Better Homes move
ment already commands a wide
following. It deserves a greatly
extended support.

ALL SPAIN STIRRED

(ponttmuea mm par 1.)
to cement the friendship of the
Spanish-speaking peoples of two
worlds. Persons high in the gov
ernment think the king's proposal
to make the trip by air is a mas
ter stroke, since It will be certain
to get the attention of all the
masses of Spanish-speaking coun
ties of the southern continent,
with whom Spain Is especially
anxious to establish a strong link.
The "mother country" always
has had a strong place in the heart
of the upper classes of the Argen
tine, Chile, Bolivia and their sis
ter republics, and it is there they
send their children to be educated
in the Spanish traditions, thus es
tablishing strong intellectual ties.
Commercial interests of Spain
have long had their eyes on South
American trade, but have had dif

SAMSON FEATURES; I
' SUNDAY NARRATIVE

son. DurIng the. feasting he pro
posed a riddle for their entertain
ment and gave them' seven days to
iolve it. " The riddle was this:
Out of the eater came forth
', . ; fOOdf '-
" Out of the strong came
forth sweetness.
Of course they could not solve
it. They tried every - way, but
they could not guess it. Finally
they1 went to the young woman
and got her to help them get the
secret of the riddle from Samson.
She begged him to tell her, but
he would not. Then she cried
and coaxed. Still he would hot
tell her the . secret. "Why he
said, "I have not even told my
parents.'' Then she pretended to
be angry, and said that he did not
love'her or he would not keep any
secret from her. That was too
much for Samson. He was big-
hearted, kind and good and It hurt
him to have her think he did not
love her. So he told her the rid
dle. She went at once to the young
men who were now Samson's ene
mies, and told them. Samson was
so angry when he found out that
he had been betrayed by the
young womna who was to be his
wife, that he went away. He nev
er went back to see her, or to
marry her, and she was married
to another young man. The heart
of Samson was filled with bitter
ness. .
From that time on the Philis
tines and Samson were enemies,
and Samson Benmanoah did all he
could to deliver his people from
the hands of the Philistines. It
was Sir Galahad that said: "My
strength is as the strength of ten
because my heart is pure." The
Lord has promised that "As thy
day so shall thy strength be."
