Things to Keep in Mind
When Modernizing Home
flonip modornlzsirlon may be a rela
tively Email thing the substitution of
a tire-safe roof for a burnable roof
for example or It may be extensive.
Involving drastic changes In the ar-
rungenient, equipment and archltec
ture of the h use.
Hut whether modernization Is a
small or large Job. It tends (1) to
Increase the real value of the house,
(2) to Increase the owner's enjoy-
meiit of It. (H) to tone up the whole
neighborhood (Just as a shabby house
can depress a neighborhood), (4) to
Increase the fnmllj's appreciation of
the house as the center of Its living.
and (') to tnnke the home a safer.
iimre convenient place In which to
meet the exacting demands of today
and tomorrow.

Shrub Traniform Grounds
William K. P.eandry. a Chicago land
scape architect. teN how the barren
grounds around the St. Onhrlel church
and school were completely trans
formed wit liln a f"w moot hs. And
when he hud finished the story Mr.
r.euudrv made this sia'e and encourag
Ina observation, bused on more than
twenty years of study of landscaping
around public buildings: "I have
never seen growing thlncs destroyed
around public buildings where the
trees, shrubs and flowers are prop
erly phmted and cared for. The
meanest man and the most ruthless
child seem t' respect well kept plants
In their community and often take a
great pride In helping protect them."
Lois by Cheap Construction
In securing the tinanclal means for
building, the very first and most Im
portant requisite Is honest construc
tion and material. If the house Is
a ell made. It sttitids virtually as Its
own security.
Those who slight their work and
material are trilling with one of the
noblest impulses of the human heart,
and are making sport of one of the
prime forces of nutlonul greatness.
Those who build faithfully and well
are real patriots, for they are con
tributing to the solidarity of the na
tion and the welfare of the people as
a whole.
Modern Homts in Demand
The average person wants a home
that Is up-to-date. He wants to live
In a house that has modern fixtures,
hardwood floors, well-arranged rooms,
tiled baths and clean cm graceful
lines. When he finds a place of this
sort he Is eager to rent or purchase It.
Homes that are modern are always
In demand. They sell more easily In
the slow market. The house that Is
diflicult to sell or rent Is usually tlw
old timer that has no modern con
veniences or with fixtures and acces
sories that are out of date.
Trees Repay Care
Although most of us appreciate the
great value of our trees we often for
get that they need care. As a result,
many of them are diseased and starv
ing to death. We know It takes years
for a large shade tree to grow, hut
still we allow them to suffer from neg
lect When we consider the large
quantity of leaves, seed and wood ma
tured by the average tree every year
we can better realize that It cannot
thrive without a good supply of. plunt
food.
When
Babies
CRY
Baties will cry, often for no
apparent reason. You nmy not
know what'i wronfc, but you can
alwayi give Castoria. This soon
has your little one comforted; if
not, you should call a doctor.
Don't experiment with medicines
intended for the stronger systems
of adults I Most of those little
upwrts are soon soothed away by
a little of this pleasant-tastine,
pentle-actinjf children's remedy
that children like.
It may be the stomach, or may
le the little bowels. Or in the case
of older children, a sluttish, con

Jap Astronomer! Proud
of Great Observatory
The largest astronomical observa
tory Id the Far East, and one which
is surpassed only by observatories
In Germany and the United States,
has Just been completed In Sanaka
a small suburb of Tokyo. The total
cost of the work Is put at $200,000.
The length of the telescope Is 11
meters and the diameter of the
lens 20 Inches. Work on the build
ing to house this and many other
scientific Instruments which are in
eluded In the observatory equipment
has been going on for more than
three years under the direction of
Docoe Hashimoto, a noted special
ist In astron :uical Instruments.
"At Inst the time has come when
Japanese astronomers can work
freely." the doctor said after the
observatory had been opened. "Al
though we have had the will to go
more deeply Into astronomical lines
In this country, we have been un
able to do so because of lack of
equipment. The situation was tanta
mount to being at war without
weapons. We shall now be able to
engage In friendly rivalry with our
brother astronomers in all parts of
the world."
Sports by Television Near
Football, baseball, cricket and
other games may be projected by
television, according to Sir Ambrose
Fleming, Inventor of the Fleming
valve. In a recent address before
the physical society In London he
said this could be accomplished by
the use of mirrors. Operators could
employ a -large mirror In throwing a
small and very brilliant scene on
scanning disk. Uelilnd this mirror
could be placed a p -oto-electrlc cell.
which would have projected on It s
brllllan' Image spot by spot, as the
scanning disk rotated For this to
be successful It would be necessary
to make the photo electric cell much
more sensitive than those at present
in use.
Sundial Made of Cement
One of the suburbs of Sun Fran
cisco has undertaken to attract some
attention to Itself by erecting the
largest sundial ever made. It Is made
of concrete and Its top Is high above
the heads of the spectators and Its
shadow Is cast upon the ground
which Is marked off for the purpose
of Indicating the time. The Inclined
surface of the dial Is often Irrever
ently used by children for the pur
pose of a kelly slide.
