Fla. (API Vaudeville beadliners for a half-ceutury, Mc Intyre and Heath have given up the stage, but not to idle. They're going to try the radio. Footlights have dimmed for the two famous blackface perennila because "motion pictures have f-hot vaudeville all to pieces," opines James Mclntryre who join ed up with Thams K. Heath in 1874. They have been together since. They have worked every season until this one for 55 years, tramping the boards in every major variety house from coast to coast in a blackface act. Now they've settled down in Miami to rest and to seek new worlds to conquer. "The life of a headliner usu ally is not more than ten years," says Mclntryre. "Ten years Is a big avearge. We doubled up as boys back in 1874 and were made headliners at Tony Pastor's thea ter in New York in 1879." They stretched their ten years into 50 and headlined every bill from the first night. For a quarter of a century their salary was the largest paid any blackface team. Now they plan to iVst off the collection of manuscripts acquired in their 55 years before the foot lights and put them to work in the ether. Their ambition for their last years, says Heath, "is te sit on the front porch and spit on the daisies."

The gables are stucco and half-timber. Brick and tile walls for resi dences are within the pi ice reach of every familly who Intends to build a home. The first cost, based on praiical data runs from 12 to 16 per cent of the total construction cost of tlie house over the cot of frame construction. Figuring the depreciation, heat saving, and lower Insurance rates the first cost is absorbed in the first six years of the home. Painting costs are very low. The above plan is especially adaptable to brick construction in this climate. Large window area is necessary for sunlight. The steep roof assures. Encloser stairs save heat and labor. The plan is adaptable to a corner lot.

With the first warm early days of spring every garden enthusiast makes a daily tour of his garden, poking here and stirring there, hoping thereby to urge the new green shoots into more rapid growth. But the soil is still too wet and heavy to do much beyond pulling out the boldest weeds and uprooting that delicate but exas perating chickweed and the g ass spears which love to twine around the iris roots. Sometimes a poke proves so destructive a : to check the growth of our choicest plant, so have patience, garden-lover, and let Nature have her way be fore you have yours! However, as we walk about the graden we can plan the changes and improvements we want to ; make, and vision the greater beau ty and satisfaction we hope to at- tain this year. The alert garden I enthusiasts have already had the keenest pleasure in making many garden plans on paper during the winter months when the outdoor world Is dormant, knowing that mistakes and much hard labor may be avoided when the time comes to dig and plant again. This planning of gardens has grown into a profession known as GADEalHSIL Powder? Capital land Union Streets V Telephones 2248-728 YOUEl HOME SHOULD - ROOM BRICK HOUSE Plan I landscape architecture, which is , now as important as planning tne house. The branches of town and city planning, parks, and subdivi sion work usually prove more in teresting to the men. while the domestic work, especially the flow er garden proper is usually car ried out with more sympathy by the woman. The first schools to offer a course in .landscape architecture were established in Massachusetts during the. early part of this cen ture. Among them were Harvard university and Massachusetts agri cultural college for men and Low thorpe school for women only Within the last ten years the mid western universities of Illinois, Michigan and Iowa have Institut ed very strong courses In this work for both men and women, with a very interesting additional summer school at Lake Forest, Illinois. .They also offer summer travel courses abroad to familiar ize the student with foreign gar den from which most of our gar den design- Is derived. In connection with this subject it is particularly interesting an' gratifying to know the position which our own Oregon State Col lege holds in this department. Corvallis is now offering the very best course in landscape architec ture on the Pacific coast. Of the 40 students majoring in this pro fession at least half of them are Californians, returning to their own state where there is a great demand for this work. A number of the remaining student come from Washington, Idaho, and even Arizona. Just at present there is great rejoicing at the school, for recent ly several of the senior students entered their work in a competi tion exchange problem for the first time, and received first and sec- U1BE and all Building Materials SCHOOL PLANNED FOR E LI BRUSH CREEK, March 8 An interesting meeting is being planned for lectures of the vari ous granges of Polk county at Rickreall, March 21, when Mrs. Marie F. McCall, Pomona grange lecturer will conduct a school for lecturers at an all day and evening session. Mrs. Frank Fawk, chairman of the home eco nomics committee will have charge of the morning program and In the afternoon lecturers from different granges will have an opportunity to talk. ond mentions placed. As theee landscape exchange problems are given out three times during the year to students in all the east ern universities, It is all thi more gratifying that Corvallis should win the honors In its first attempt, particularly as the subject was "A Formal Garden in a Botanical Park," a feature which western students have no opportunity of studying in actuality. Tn these notes we have wand erede far from spring days with their weeding and digging, and so we have taken this opportunity to talk about plans and planning as the time will come all to soon j when everything will be bursting into bloom at once, and we will be saying "Of all the lovely things to tell about, which shall we choose this week?" The Cubs have few outfield worries with Wilson, Stephenson and Cnyler in harness. FEIGT 0RAN9 ECTURERS N BIG IN Real Estate Concerns Say More Newcomers in City Now Than in Months More activity in rentals of Sa lem residences has been evidenced here in the past two weeks than ror the previous 1$ months, chats with a number of local real estate dealers indicated. Very few modern homes are now unoccupied; in fact, demand for the neater home is in excess of the supply, some dealers re port. While rentals have taken spurts now and then, more often than not the increase has been oc casioned by local persons moving from one house here to another. But the present heavy demand shows a brighter side: most of the calls by would-be renters in the past two or three weeks have been from outside persons, and partic ularly from Californians. Comparatively little selling of city property is on the boards now, with most of the selling be ing done to newcomers, the gen eral report Indicates. Another encouraging Indica tion of development for the Sa lem rural area and the county is seen in several declarations that demands are increasing for coun try aceages and farms. And with the icrease In demand, sales in this field are also increasing. While a wider and greater busi ness than in months past is feaid to be at hand by a number of the large offices, the other side of the picture is held to by dealers, too. Some of the smaller dealers in dicate that business for them is showing little pick-up, which means so far as they are concern ed, little property is moving. How ever, inquires are coming in greater number to even the small er offices, these dealers indicate.

Commercial Str Salem Local Woman Describes Care Of Pansy Plants Here are some interestinr; "pansy tips" from Miss Mable Creighton of Jonesuitie Farm. Miss Creighton's "open garden" each year is an event that inter ests both social and garden cir cles. And one of the things that all are interested in is the de lightful pansy blossoms. She gives here some of the reasons why these blossom are so lovely and how others may have lovely ones too if they will follow in structions. "The first essential In raising good thrifty pansy plants is the proper preparation of the soil. Deep spading, thorough cultivat ing and fertilizing for the gTound in which the seeding and planting is to be done," says Miss Creighton. Then she describes how this is done. "Spread some well rot ted chicken or cow fertilizer on the ground, about three inches deep, before spading. Be sure that the spading cms up the ground into fine particles. Put on a generous sprinkling of bone meal, as a top dressing, and rake into the soil In a thorough man ner until the soil is fine and fri able. Finish with a good sprinkl ing of water and let stand for a couple of days before putting in the seeds or plants. "From my experience in. rais ing pansy plants I find the fall to be the best time for planting, my favorites, the giant ruffled pansy," says Miss Creighton, "because that seems to be the best manner to secure strong thrifty foliage and early blos soms. The young plants are set out in the fall anytime during October. After the fall planting I put a small quantity of bone meal around the roots of the plants and then a good mulch of chicken fertilizer and let this stand until the ground is ready for spring cultivation. Shallow cultivation and plenty of mois ture during the summer will re ward one with a mass of the gor geous big blossoms from the mid dle of March until September."
