"Breathing" is Necessity;
In Salem, Rust-Proof
- Nails Required ; !

"A hulldinz is as good-as Its
roof or its foundation is en ax
iom In the profession ... or- j con
tractors and builders, according
to the statement of one Salem
bnilder and it was immediately
verified by ano her standing
' nearby at the time the remark
was made." j
And that is one thin,? Sthat
stands paramount in building a
good roof together with pitch,
nails, type of shingles and j the
the manner in which they : are
laid. This one thing is what is
i known as a "louvre" and it is
r that part of the house's anatomy
which looks like a shutter up In
the gable end of a house land
many times in the closed ends of
the porches. . - 4
. These louvres are the "luaga"
of the roof and It Is as essential
for the protection of the roof
: and the prevention of leaks that
the roof breathe properly as It is
. for people's health that they
breathe properly. -
A root that does not hare jthls
ventilation will absorb , water
through - the exposed side of j the
shingles and then without free
circulation of air the moisture Is
held there and within a short
time has Created dry rot. leaks
are present and grief Is the tray
the result is spelled. ';'
" "Therefore to insure a good
leak-proof roof one thing-j to
make absolutely sure of ini your
building specifications are ("lou
vres for every gable end, so is
Lyle Bartholomew quoted and
upon investigation verillcation
was 'easy. - -j
A second thing not often
thought of in attempting to pre
vent leaks is the type of sail
used' in laying the shingles and
. the number of nails. - Sulphuri in
thJT air in Salem makes the rise
of a rust-proof nail -one of the
prime ; necessities in securing a
safe ' roof. The sulph- . mixed
with rain, according . to Earl
Bushnell, city building Inspector,
causes an acid which quickly
rusts and corrodes the ordinary
blue nail, therefore! the building
code requires a galvanized, cop
per or pure steel nail in order; to
protect the roof of new houses
against leaks within a short time
after building. j
Pure steel calls and copper
sails are too expensive but gal
vanized nails which are Just
about as good cost little mere
than blue nails. Shinglers are
supposed to object to the latter
on the ground that they are less
easy to handle' but with demand
that objection will disappear,
and leaks will have one more
genuine: enegy.

Centuries back people lived in

The ancient folk did not enjoy
the advantages of a curtain rod
and fastened their window and
wall hangings meant, of pegs

While, the people of several
hundred years ago must a have
given some thought , to more Im

window decorations of their

Birds are one of the gardener's
best friends in his perennial war
against Insect and;, other garden
enemies. And it behooves the
gardener to remember these lit
tle helpers when he adds to his
plantings. Anyone who is in the
least bit . open-eyed cannot have
failed to notice the large amount
of shrubs which are distinctly
decorative in character' and whose
berries furnish many a meal for
the; garden's atq winter board
ers. These brightly colored berry
bashes also do much to take the
barren winter 'look away - and
give interest to the garden in the
deadest of seasons. ; r '
Shrubs will do well (most of
them at least) If planted anytime
between the first , of November
and the last of March so you still
have sufficient 'time to get them
started yet this spring.;
Among the most satisfactory
berry-bearing shrubs are eonton
easter, ! barberry, pyracantba,
holly and pernettyas. There are
also a number of - trees which,
give ; color ' and food- during the
winter, i Noticeable among these
are the Hawthornes and monn-

How Does Your
, Garden Grovy?
By LILLIE L. MADSEN
they are"' commonly classed! as
such. All of them flower pinkish
white In spring, but their main
beauty, is In ,the masses of red or
orange-red berries carried through
fall and winter. ' Unless the co
toneaster has a good garden loam
n which to grow and plenty o
sunshine, however,' , its ; berries
will be few and Inferior. 4 , I .
To my mind one of the finest
of the cotoneasters is the Ftan
chettl, Ult but of graaeful, arch
ed, drooping habit, with finei fol
iage usually evergreen. Its Iber-
ries are bright red.
Cotoneaster horirontalis
is
of
creeping growth, and from a
tie distance one might confuse ft
with some forms of barberry.! It
drops its foliage but. is sa loaded
with "bright berries that- one- does
not miss the -green so much. -Another
creeping cotoneaster Is; the
mlcrophyUa with small evergreen
leaves, dark and glossy. This is
a good rockery hrub.vOnei of
the newer low-growing cqtoneast-t
ers Is the pyrenalca whose foliage
is deciduous. : , .. L -..
The; Crataegus' pyracantha or.
firethom is deservedly very pop
ular for lis dean, upright growth
and showy masses of orange-red
berries. The. firethorn likes the
sunny side of the house and I Its
soil requirements are' quite aim fr
iar to those of the eotoneaster.
, The barberry family includes
our own Oregon, grape which, I
notice, is listed In the catalogues
under the Interesting name of
mahonia aquifolla. Most every
one Is acquainted with its scented
yellow flowers and Its blue ber
ries with their , "bloom." This
shrub Is being used more' and
more In plantings about the
homes. Last spring I was vjery
much surprised to see hOTrvry
much it was used at both; Salem
and Portlands ; It transplants
very easily. In fact I transplant
ed a comparatively large bush one
June and it survived -very well!
One of ' the tall barberries j is
the not so well-known berberis
Levis, which reaches about five
feet in height. This is a native
of . western - China, has yellow
flowers and black fruit. Still in
other tall berberry is the berberis
stenophylla. Its yellow sprays jot
flowers are very attractive. . j L
Among the dwarf barberries
which are very nice for .rockeries
are the well-known' compact ver
veris buxifolla, the berberis san-
guinolenta from China, and. ber
beris trlcanthifolla. - .

: . - Here, ; Warning
With these balmy days and
signs of spring on every hand,
we Just seem . to get the sprir ;
; fever . ourselves and want to be
out working In our gardens. I do
not pretend to be an authority on
flower, culture, but; have found.
from experience, that late Janu
ary , or early February Is about
the best time to plant sweet peas
if, yon want early blooms.
I usually plant mine about
this time of year, - on " the east
side of the house. Just as soon
as they commence blooming,
water them abundantly every
evening and trim off all mature
blooms. By planting them early
and earing for them In this man
ner I' not only have the earliest
blooms but prolong the blooming
period from three to six weeks
later in ' the season. Plenty of
moisture with , protection from
the hot afternoon sun are two of
the most Important - points In
prolonging the blooming period
of your sweet peas. Prevention
of seed pods forming is also, es
sential and it is for that reason
that I pick off all mature blooms
daily. By Florence Kleeman.
