Beautiful View Dictated Plan . , I Ji , ' '.'S """" The general arrangement of the plan of this dignified Ohio home wa dictated by the fact that there was a beautiful view In one direction to ward the rear. Outside woodwork la cypress, fin ished with a dark brown stain. I'he roof Is of hand-ppllt shingles.' The stucco Is a light buff. An Interesting detail Is the com bination of pantry and breakfast room opening out upon the end porch. A feature of the interior Is the two story living room, with . adjoining book alcove. Both are faced with vertical chestnut boards, burned with a torch and waxed. Floors are of plank in random widths, showing th? wooden pegs. Between the celling beams, the plaster is of a cream tone, slightly antiqued. There are three bedrooms, a bath and plentiful closets on the second floor, despite the fact that the height of the living room takes away a con siderable porlon of the second floor area. Charles P.

The Outdoor Living Room Looking Out Into a Garden Living Room Mere size Is no measuring1 stick ly which to judge the posslDllitles ot home grounds. The home on tne faction. small lot can have Just as attractive surroundings bs the biggest estate in the land; In fact, some of the very prettiest and most tasteful planting.. In the country today are to be found surrounding homes of modest size. ' The humble cottage and stately mansion both need a setting of grow ing things to attain their full beauty, and both suffer equally as much by the lack of well-planted ,well-carei for grounds. ' One of the most Important aswU to a home 1b an outdoor living room. In place of an open rear yard within the view of everyone, the home owner should plan a private outdoor living room. Here one may enjoy the sun shine, and work among shrubbery and gay flowers out of the sight of prying eyes. Let the turf provide ? green carpet; plant beautiful trets, shrubs and evergreen to make the walls which set the room apart and screen It from view. Plant hardy flowers along the bor ders to provide fragrance and color. Then locate a few trees to provide comfortable shade and fruit. Alto gether, one may have a room as de lightful as anything one could dream of, a room which will give countless hours of enjoyment, health and satts- ' Flowers for Fragrance Some of our leas attractive gar den flowers are prised for their fragrance. Undoubtedly nature thus compensates for their lack of beauty. The lavender, the mignonette, and the evening scented stock (Mat thlola Biscornts) are examples. The fragrant flowers may be the more enjoyed If only more fre quently planted in the garden bed directly under windows, or in the porch or wlndox box. We do have some very gay ana pretty fragrant flowers adapted to the window or porch box; the sweet aly&sum, the dwarf candytuft, the new sweet-scented doxible nas turtiums and the balcony petunias. Among the sweet-scented garden flowers with stems suited to cutting are carnations, freealaa, acablosas. stocks, sweet peaa, sweet sultans, sweet Williams and wallflowers. Ail of these varieties are easily grown from seed. A New , Model Vegetable There was awarded a gold medal by the All-American Selections com mittee to a new model of an old time vegetable a 1935 cucumber named "8tralght Eight." All of the frulta of thla new cucumber grow very straight and approximately " Inches long, thus living up to their name. When ready for use the diame ter of thla Ideal slicing variety la about lVj to 3 inches, and the color rich deep green without objection able striping. A fine crop of cucumbers may easily be grown In an open, expoaed, fairly rich soil. Planting should oo delayed until all danger of frost Is past. The aoll for planting should be warm, fairly moist, and loose. The seed must be covered about one-half Inch deep. Plant In hills 3 to 8 feet apart, dropping six or eight seeds to each hill. When the seedling plants reach a height of about 8 Inches, It Is beat to thin to three In a hill. Use Mall Tribune want ada Plant Tuberous -Rooted Begonias There Is no doubt but that garden- era generally find themselves rather wary of venturing into the culture oi tuberous-rooted begonias, because of their delicate waxy beauty, and the fact that they usually come to the attention of the gardener as a conservatory-grown pot plant. The truth of the matter is that tne tuberous-rooted begonias, started from the rounded-bottom, flat, and concave-topped hairy tubers, may te grown with no more difficulty than the gladiolus ot in tne garden Dea. The tuberous-rooted begonia lovet. a cool spot In a very light, leafy, open and well-drained soli, shaded from the hot afternoon sun. Tubers may be sprouted indoors anytime from January to April. The best method is to place them In shal low boxes filled with a compost con sisting entirely of imported peat and sand, or a mixture of one part each of light loam, Imported peat, and a half part of coarse sand. There are two points the amateur gardener must bear in mind in con nectlon with the sprouting tubera: first, not to cover the crown or top of the tuber until it has sprouted anc developed t leaves; second, water very sparingly until the tubers start Into growth. Once sprouted and the leaves de veloped, the gardener has the optlun of either planting the tubera Into 4 or 8 -inch pots, according to the size of the tuber, In a very light but rich soil compost, or of planting them di rectly out into the garden bed In a situation to their liking. The tubers planted In pots should be transplanted Into the next large. size as soon as the roots reach the side of the pot before they get pot- bound, the main point being not to over-pot and to pet them moderately firm. It Is advisable not to put thm In a spot where they will be subject to a forcing heat, for they make sturdier growth under moderate tem peratures.. Potted plants or outdoor ' plants should be treated alike Insofar m pinching off the first buds. While it is difficult for a gardener to do this in view of the anxiety to see the first flowers open out In their full glory. still the sacrifice at this stage will prove very worth while, especially If weak liquid manure la fed to the plants at least once a week. When the plants "have finished blooming, they should be watered sparingly, and after the stems hc-ve fallen off, water should bo withheld entirely. The crowns or tops of tne tubera should be dried carefully by exposure to a dry atmosphere for a few days and by protection from eve ning and night damp. They may then be stored in pots or boxes of nearly dry soil In a cool damp place where they may be occasionally examined to see that they do not become dry enough to shrivel nor damp enough to rot, until the next planting season. Tubers may easily be expected to come Into full bloom in from five to six months from the time they are sprouted. The tubers do not multiply like gladiolus and other bulbs, but Increase In size yearly and there are Instances where gardeners have re- sprouted the same tuber for as long as ten or twelve years.

Phone 803 C0UGHL1N S RADIO By YALE "PREXV NEW HAVEN. Conn.. Feb. 33. (AP) President James Rowland An gell of Yale today termed It "utterly ridiculous" that teachers In certain states are required to take oaths ot loyalty while a "recently naturalized lorelgn priest," nqt under a similar obligation, is allowed to broadcast "inflammatory social nonsense." The Yale president did not Identity the priest In his address prepared for delivery to some 2.500 graduates here for the annual university alumni day. "Consider the utterly ridiculous condition," he aald, "which compels President Conant of Harvard, under the Massachusetts law as It now standi, to take such an (teachers' loyalty) oath, while at thn same time It allows a recently naturalised for eign priest to escape such an oath and pour out weekly over the radio, under the blessed name of social Jus tice, the most poisonous and Inflam matory economic and social non sense." Dr. Augell contended that tf teach ers' oaths have any result at all they "render teachers timid about men tioning current political Issues which properly should engage their best thought."
