Window Now Decorative;
Not Just Functional Unit
Windows of a home are no longer
viewed only as functional units. To
day they are called upon to serve
important architectural and decora
tive uses as well.
Builders now are achieving inter
esting results by placing a promi
nent window to frame a tree in
'the manner of a “living picture.”
Its changing pattern from spring to
fall and throughout the winter makes
for a scene that is always refresh
ing. Similarly pleasing effects are
obtained if the surrounding land
scape permits a view of a sweep of
river, a winding creek, or even a
broad expanse of rolling land.
Like so many other functional
parts of a modern small house, win
dows today have improved consid
erably in design and construction.
Wisely chosen window designs im
prove the exterior appearance of
the home and add cheer to the in- |
terior.
Among the wide variety of window
styles from which the home build
ers can select are double-hung win- ,
dows having sash which move up
and down and casement windows
whose sash are hinged at the side
and open in or out.
Bay windows are available in
many sizes and attractive styles.
Dormer windows can be used to
.tighten attics or bedrooms under the
roof. Where wall space is at a
premium the use of corner windows
js often found advantageous.
Careful thought should be given 1
the placing of the windows not only
to obtain an attractive exterior ap
pearance but also to assure sufii- j
cient wall spaces in the living rooms
which will permit convenient place
ment of furniture. The glass area
should be sufficient t<» insure good
light and ventilation in proportion to
the size and character of the room.

Keep Sneezes Six Feet
Away, Advises Physician
If you have your friends’ health
at heart, you’ll be careful what
you’re saying when you sneeze in
their presence.
This was one of the conclusions
drawn from a lecture on colds and
sneezing by Dr. Charles F. Mc-
Khann, professor of pediatrics at the
'University of Michigan, before the
Graduate Conference for Physicians
at Herman Kiefer hospital.
Illustrating the distance a sneeze
may travel, witli photographic
slides, Dr. McKhann pointed out
that the distance depends on
whether it is a light sneeze or a
heavy one and also on what letters
nr syllables are being pronounced at
the time.
Thus a person who happened to
he saying “Peter Piper picked . . . j
etc.” at the very moment was seized 1
with a sneeze would undoubtedly ,
get the maximum carry', or close
to six feet. That’s par.
Dr. McKhann said it was there
fore advisable to stay away from
people who had colds or when you !
had one—six feet or more.
Abrasive Injurious to Nickel
Never use an abrasive cleaner
on your shiny new nickel kitchen
and bathroom fixtures. Instead
wash them first with soap and wa
ller, then polish with whiting moist
ened with fine-quality household
ammonia. When a harsh abrasive
is used on nickel it eventually will
wear it off and after that cleaning
is an ever-present task. Whiting
made into a paste with household
ammonia will also remove egg
stains from silver and is fine for
polishing mirrors. However, with j
the latter it is very important to !
avoid getting dampness on the back. |
best way to use the paste is to
coat the glass with it, then rub it !
off and polish with a clean dry
cloth. This method can also be
used on the glass in pictures, taking
the same precaution against getting
moisture on the back of the pic
ture.
Care of Children’s Teeth
Loss of even a single tooth with
out replacement can seriously af
fect the health and appearance of
high school children, according to
evidence obtained from an extensive
school survey reported in the Jour
nal of the American Dental Asso
ciation. Dr. J. A. Salzmann of New
York city describes the survey con
ducted in New York vocational
schools which included more than
10,000 boys and girls 15 to 19 years
•f age. “Examination of the pu
pils,” Dr. Salzmann states, ‘ has re
vealed conclusive evidence that
when a single tooth is filled by a
dentist, not only is this tooth saved,
but in addition the regularity of po
sition and appearance of all the
teeth are maintained, and the ten
dency of teeth to decay is kept at
a low level.”
Old Settlement in Sweden
Traces of human settlement dat
ing back to 12,000 years ago have
been discovered in the Uddeville
district of West Sweden by an arche
ologist who has been excavating an
cient remains there. He claims to
aave found on Stadsfjallet, about 380
feet above sea level, stone age
dwelling sites with quartz and flint
implements and fragments of the
material used to make them. He
elates his discoveries to 10,300 B. C.,
when the whole of this district was
■under the sea and the high ground
which is now Stadsfjallet projected
from the water. When the seas re
ceded, settlement began.

3Bneh S*l nut S'mni
is Used big Ci'ops?
Many farmers have asked, why
in: vc fertilizer seems to be needed
(o ; row profitable crops than used
to ba the case. Recently compiled
data on the plant food contained
in important crops answers the
question. After looking over these
figures, it is easy to see that good
yields cf crops contain large quan
tities of nitrogen, phosphoric acid,
and potash. Fertile soils under
natural conditions accumulate
considerable quantities of the
above nutrients in available form.
When farming is started, these
iugjili.s fc d the crop, and good
yields are obtained. As the crop
ping is continued, these supplies
are gradually reduced, and yields
begin to drop accordingly.
Sooner or later, depending on
the natural fertility of the soil,
the point is reached where satis
factory yields of crops no longer
can be obtained. The trouble
usually is not caused by all the
nutrients becoming depleted at the
same time. Since most of the
soils in North America are low in
their natural supply of phosphate,
this nutrient usually becomes the
first limiting factor, even though
crops do not remove much of it.
On some soils, nitrogen may be
the first to become deficient, while
on others, especially peats and
mucks, it is potash. Since phos
phate is usually the first to be
come depleted, it is the first fer
tilizer added. This may step up
yields for a while, but they will
decrease again duo to a diminish
ing supply of som 1 other nutrient,
and this may be nitrogen or potash
or both. Other factors, such as
roil acidity, secondary nutrients,
or diseases, may also enter into
(he pictu”-’ and must be taken
care of if good crops arc to be
maintained.
Sin. a tli: three nutrients, nitro
gen, phosphoric acid, and potash,
r.ro those most commonly lacking
in the soil, the amounts of these
contained in good yields of prin
cipal crops have been given special
consideration and are shown in
(he tabic below.

The figures include all the
above-ground portions of the
plant, and in the case of potatoes,
sweet potatoes, sugar beets, and
peanuts, include also the har
vested part of the roots. It is
apparent at once that crops differ
considerably in the nutrients they
contain. Also noticeable is that
the nitrogen and potash are higher
i than the phosphoric acid. Thus a
I
3-ton crop of alfalfa takes from
the soil 35 pounds of phosphoric
acid and 135 pounds of potash, on
the average. Most of the nitrogen
in alfalfa and the other legumes
comes from the air. In the case
of non-legumes, most of the nitro
gen as well as all the phosphate
and potash comes from the soil
supply.
Part of the nutrients in some
crops is returned to the soil when
the unharvested portion of the
plant is plowed under, but with
other crops, almost all the nutri
ents are removed in the harvest.
It is char that unless they are
returned in some way, the soil
supply will soon be exhausted. It
is like drawing on a bank account
without making any deposits.
When everything has been drawn
out of the bank, the account is
worthless until it is replenished.
The use of manure will help
maintain the soil’s plant-food sup
ply. But most farmers are lucky
if they have enough manure to
cover their farm once in a rotation
of four years. If 10 tens par acre
are spread, this will mean that an
average of 25 pounds each of ni
trogen and potash and half this
amount of phosphoric acid per
year arc added by the manure,
flood yields of crops usually take
out several times these amounts
of plant foods. Thus greater
amounts of commercial fertilizer
are being used to more fully re
turn to the soil the plant foods
removed by crops. With careful
soil management and the use of
fertilizer adapted to the soil and
crop grown, the fertility of the
soil can be maintained and even
increased.
Money Held Reason Men I
Leave Home, Women Stay
When a man pulls up stakes,
leaves his family and departs for
! parts unknown, you can bet it’s the
money question that’s at the bot
tom.
You could be wrong, but the |
chances are against it.
Last year 71,546 cases of missing
husbands were reported in the Unit
ed States, and money—the shortage
of ready cash and an overabundance
of bills —was the basic fault.
For this statement you have the
assurance of Edward Apstein, direc
tor of the Divorce Reform league,
and Daniel Eisenberg, whose busi
ness consists of tracing missing per
sons of all classifications—husbands
included.
“The surface reason might be any
one of a number of things,’’ Eisen
berg said today, “but you can trace
the reason right back to the
money problem. Too many bills,
the wife is extravagant, the husband
has gotten himself in debt, his wife
nags him about ‘not keeping up
with the Joneses.’ ”
For the same reason, Eisenberg
! said, only 34 wives left home last
i year.
“Women would like to get away
from it all in many cases but they’te
afraid,” he said. “They’re accus
tomed to the comforts of home and
they’re afraid they can’t support
themselves.
“There’s nothing the matter with
the average shaky marriage,” he
continued, “that $50,000 or even
$5,000, wouldn’t solve.”
Rodents Used in Nerve
Test by Psychologist
Why do strong men sometimes
i “break down” when they get into a
j tight spot, while jittery persons, who
rebel at trifles, are stoical when the
going gets really rough?
Calvin S. Hall, Western Reserve
j university professor of psychology,
believes he has found the answer in
I eight generations of rats.
He bred them to produce two dis
tinct types—the nervous and the
calm. With every generation, off
spring of the nervous animals be
came more jittery than their ances
tors. Offspring of the staid became
more steady.
Dr. Hall rigged up a compressed
air noisemaker, which emits a
sharp hiss. Applying it to 45 of the
highly nervous rats, he found they
became no more jittery. But when
45 of the calm rats heard the hiss
ing, they went into what appeared
to be epileptic fits. Some fell uncon
scious.
“This may mean that the more
neurotic animals and men release
their pent-up feelings easily,” Dr.
Hall says. “Among the more sta
ble, the accumulated tension piles
up in the brain. When the tension
becomes too great, a flow of un
governed impulses is let loose.”
Good Manners
They belong to the nicest crowd
in town —you can see from their
poised, gracious manner.
Instead of plunging down the aisle
with the girl following him, he cour
teously asks where she’d like to sit,
then states her preference to the
usher. And she follows the usher
to the seats, while her beau fol
lows her. On leaving the theater,
too, she’ll go first up the aisle.
To know such little points, to date
and party without nervous moments
of doubt and hesitation—what a lot
it means to your poise and popular
ity. But easy to check up on eti
quette.
The next time a man takes you
out, remember he’s your host. Stop
ping at a restaurant, let him choose
the table with the aid of the head
waiter. And of course he’ll ask
what you’d like to have and give
your order to the waiter.
If your beau takes you motoring,
it’s up to you to suggest going in
when you arrive home. For, again,
your beau as your host, wouldn’t
seem to wish to get rid of his guest.
Fossilized Camel Bones Found
Fossilized bones of a browsing
type of camel with a giraffe-like neck
which once roamed Oregon’s mio
cene forests have been unearthed
near Madras by California Institute
of Technology scientists.
The discovery was made in the ,
sedimentary beds of Jefferson coun- j
i ty, only one mile from the heavily ,
traveled Dalles-California highway. 1
Dr. Arthur Drescher, heading the '
| paleontologists, said the primeval
creature’s long neck made it pos- [
sible to graze from the tree leaves
in much the same fashion as the
modern giraffe.
The Madras field has also yielded '
fossilized remnants of a three-toed j
horse, about the size of a sheep.
‘Prosperity’ 100 Years Ago
One hundred years ago the word
| “prosperity” was used in an attempt
to catch the voter, just as it is being j
j used in these modern campaigns. In :
the fight of William Henry Harrison
for President and John Tyler for I
vice president, a poster reads as j
follows: “Last call! Attention the I
whole! The time has arrived when }
every patriot and true friend of his
country should devote his whole
time to her service. In eight days !
the question will be decided: Hard-1
son and prosperity or Van Buren •
and ruin!”
Then as today, the fundamental j
was the stomach and the pocket, j
which after all is the real issue, al
ways. 1
