Specially drawn for The Statesman building
page by Lyle B. Bartholomew, architect, U. S. Na
tional Bank building, Salem, Oregon.
You have seen lots where the rear view
was as good as the front view. There are
many such lots here in Salem. The natural
front is toward the street. But the rear out
look may be over the river valley or toward
the distant mountains. This house plan,
drawn in a pleasing modification of English
type, utilizes both front and rear views.
Ample! windows in living room, entry and
nook look out on the front yard and the
street. Across the rear are the solarium and
the dining room with a loggia between. One
clay imagine just beyond a neat garden on
the back of the lot, and beyond that a won
derful view of river or ridge or city.
The exterior indicates the use of stucco
with half-timber work on the second story
and wide clapboards for the gables. Notice
the long lines of the gables drawn with the
same angle and the length of them in pleas
ing balance. The room arrangement will
readily commend itself to those who want a
compact, modern, comfortable home.
The house calls for an east or south front.
a, best flower decorated lunch

Your Garden and Mine
By Elizabeth Lord
There is an interim between
the tulips and the iris season
when striking flowers are absent
from the garden. It is, then, very
easy to turn oar interest nd at
tention to the glorious flowering
shrub he azalea. There are few
people who do not care for this
virld flowering shrub and cer
tainly o other has a greater
range of color. The May editions
of the garden magazines bare de
voted much space to varieties and
cultivation of the azalea, so I am
not going to repeat about the
acid soils and give descriptions of
the numerous colors which are
dlflcult to obtain.
Azaleas are native In many re
gions. Japan has advertised the
azalea as one of Us flowering fea
tures. While the southern part of
the eoantry produces a -pale pink
azalea, the vrrid red orange is
more frequent In the northern
part of the Island. Korea and
China, have also given us many
beautiful varieties. In the north
eastern part of the United States,
the pale pink Vaseyi Is prevalent,
but in th south, Virginia and Car
olina mountains, the glorious, al
most scarlet Calendulacea grows
to considerable height This
asalea Is one of the, most gorge
ous and beantiful of all native
azaleas. -
And now we come to oar own
azalea, in southern Oregon. For
many years I have heard about
the beauty of this shrub growing
along the Oregon coast, but it was
not until las week did I have the
opportunity to see It In all Its
glory. From Bandon, down? to
Crescent City on that superb and
magnificent coast route ones
bonnteons generosity of nature
Interest will never lag over the
azaleas, rhododendrons and wild
lilacs. If it isn't one shrub. It Is
another and there is a floral dis
play of wild Iris too. The south
ern Oregon azalea, A. occidental
is, are yellow and rosy pink,
beanttfnlly blended, and more
varkd than any other azalea with
which. I am familiar. Their fra
graace permeates th air. .
For some reason this azalea
when transplanted to foreign
ground perhaps It longs for the
sea breezes. But they are very
worth while possessing If no
other reason than on account of
their .profuse blooming and state
ly size. Every garden enthulast,
who can spare the time should
take ft three day excursion in the
month of May when southern
Oregon Is In its height of beauty.
While you are In that section
yon would be Interested in seeing
the Louis Simpson estate. It Is
situated near the town of Em
pire and right on the bluffs of
the Pacific ocean. The garden, de
tached from the residence, has
the appearance of an old English
garden with its box bordered
Paths and holly hedges. A very
charming naturalistic pool, slmil
lar to those in Japan la surround
ed by native trees and shrubs.
In the Simpson garden you will
see rare shrubs and flowering
trees and the finest specimens of
broadleafe'd evergreens any place
In the state. Laurestlnus. Mexican
Orange and BerPberla darwlnll
were amazingly prodigious.
Then If yon are motoring on to
Crescent City, stop tor a minute
and exclaim over a marvelously
high foshia in the town of Smith
River. This fusbia Is growing In
a dooryard garden bi a lovely old
pioneer borne, situated on the
main street, right band side go
ing souths As it bangs over the
fence, yon can not miss it. It's
size sounds staggering, but I
know it Is at -least 12 feet high
and as much broad. It was in
bloom last July and last week,
which Is all one ean ask of any
plant, no matter Its size.
Back to azaleas! If yon are es
pecially fond of this shrub and
care to see them in a perfect sit
uation, visit Laurelhnrst park, In
Portland. There are a number of
varieties, not usually seen in pri
vate gardens, and a very gener
ous planting. Last week, during
the Portland flower show, the
azaleas blooming in the park were
. More, nouses now'Z ars ; being
built, to fit't&iryouda'oBwhlcli
they, are set. The' modern, ome
is laid out with a view; to making
all of the space about it part of
the completed picture.
Yards have become ' gardens.
J and 'gardens made 'Into, veritable
H ....I il I.. mnLm- - that
add to1 the beauty and enjoyment
'of home life brooms Into which
one can look or. walk from Inside
the bouse, as one would view or
stew from one to another Indor
room.. - -
Homes . old as well as newer
houses,' can make this modern use
of grounds, whatever size the
space, If proper thought is given
to the plan. Indeer, part of the
pleasure in possession of an out
door room Is in the planning of
it, and the anticipation of watch
ing the plan take form and grow.
Nor Is the planning beyond the
ability of anyone gifted with
enough appreciation of design and
beauty to love flowers and shrubs
and trees.
Design, whether it be In lay
ing out of garden space, the plan
ning of a house, or nature's own
design In the structure of a grow
ing leaf or plan tt is based upoO an
axis or main line about which in
terest centers, around which feat
ures group, or from which lines
branch. In a house this may be
a central hall or large Inviting
living room; In plants it Is the
stem or trunk; In leaves the
veins.
What, then, shall be the garden
axis for the ground about your
home? Where will you draw or
lay this first main line that is to
form the center of its picture and
its Interest?
Look, first, at your house and
its position on the lot; look out
upon the view from certain win
dows, doorways or living-porch.
Then place your outdoor living
room to supplement the inside
room, or plan your planting to
frame or screen some view with
its axis or main line leading from
that window, door or point of
view.
This axis, or center line need
not be in the exact middle of
the lot nor of the space to be laid
out, unless the plan be one of for
mal lines. Not all designs are
thug symetrlcal In nature nor in
art. Balance In design, as in
physics, is not a matter of exact
symmetry of size and shape, but
of weight.
Thus, in designing of a lawn or
garden space, the axis is not a
geometric center so much as a
center of,.lnterest and the line of
view from it to the eye of the
beholder, it may be a flagstoned
walk closer to one side of the plot
with bank of flowers and shrubs
on one side carrying the eye up
ward to the tops of spreading
trees, and a broad expanse of vel
vet lawn on the other side stretch
ing away to further beds of flow
era or vine-clad walls that frame
the garden space.
Again, this axis may be an Im
aginary line across the garden or
does cot retain its natural color a show unto themselves.

Nothing Short of Complete
New Penitentiary Held
Satisfactory
An extensive state building
program, covering a long period
of time and involving a large ex
penditure, probably will receive
attention at the 1931 session of
the Oregon legislature. This was
indicated by statements made. by
various legislators who have vis
ited the several state institutions
in and near Salem since the dis
astrous fire in the Columbus pen
itentiary a few weeks ago.
While plans have been prepar
ed looking to the enlargement of
the present Oregon state peniten
tiary, officials have made it plain
that nothing short of a new plant
will insure the safety of convicts
in case of a fire such as occurred
in the Ohio prison. The Oregon
prison was constructed in the
early seventies and is inadequate
to meet present day conditions.
The cost of a new penitentiary has
not been estimated, but probably
would exceed Jl, 000, 000.
Henry Myers, superintendent, In
a recent statement given to the
press, emphasized the fact that
the Oregon Institution originally
was constructed to house less than
500 prisoners. Records show that
more than 875 men and women
are now confined In the institu
tion. As a result of this conges
tion, two men are assigned to each'
cell and additional sleeping ac
commodations have been provid
ed In the hospital, barber shop
and commissary.
In an effort to relieve condi
tions at the prison temporarily,
approximately 60 prisoners re
cently were transferred to the
penitentiary annex five miles east
of Salem, while approximately 75
men are housed on the second
floor of the Institution garage. It
was estimated that more than 200
prisoners are now sleeping out
side of the prison walls.
Much of the Interior of the
prison is of wood construction and
the fire protection was said to be
wholly inadequate In case of a
bad fire.
Adding to the hazard Is the fact
that all cells are provided with
Individual locks instead of a mas
ter lock in the office as is pro
vided in the more modern penal
Institutions. In case of a night
fire it would be necessary for the
guards and officials to unlock
each cell before the inmates could
be released. A hazard also exists
in the women's quarters, which
are situated on the second floor
of the main Institution directly
above the warden's office. The
exits provided for these quarters
are Inadequate.
The legislature also will make'
a survey of the Oregon state hos
pital which now has more than
1900 patients. This institution
was erected many years ago and is
partly of wood construction. Al
though the fire protection at the
state hospital is considered ade
quate, the building would crum
ble under a hot fire and many
casualties probably would result.
TREES IM III
OF HOUSES
FM
Trees In the public area 1. s.g
the front lawn serve four pur
poses: To screen objectionable
lawn, street and bouse; frame the
surroundings; to furnish shade for
view of the house; for Individual
beauty. For shade of screen pur
poses, luxuriant restful green fol
iage are desirable. For framing
the view of the bouse, the length,
and width of the approach and the
general scale of the whole place
detrmine whether high or low
trees are used, and What form Is
best.
Trees used purely as decora
tive furnishings tor the public
area must not contrast too sharp
ly in form or cblor with those
used for shade, screening or
framing. It Is better to keep trees
of special Interest at the sides,
where they may serve as accents
in the border planting.
Around the house Itself and
around or in the private area or
"outdoor room" trees are used for
seven purposes: To screen un
pleasant surroundings from view;
to frame or call attention to at
tractive views; to furnish a set
ting or background for the house;
for shading house or private areas;
as protection against wind, dust,
etc. j to furnish private areas; for
their individual beauty, flowers or
fruit.

the lawn to some striking feature
of the view. This feature may be
some natural object, as a ma
jestic tree, ravine, or pond; or it
may be man made, as a pergola
or fountain, a lily pool, rock gar
den, or even a stone bench against
a background of green shrubbery.
Even a garden gate, or row of
stately poplars to screen a fur
ther, more unsightly, view can
form the farther end of the gar
den axis.
