Avoid “Forlorn” Gardeas
A GARDEN loses itg charm when
it is neglected. A little atten
tion at strategic times during the
growing season will keep your gar
den out of the “forlorn” class. |
A bit of “tidying” is necessary |
with bulb flowers that have bloomed |
and drooped. If bulbs are to be
left in the ground, remove the un
sightly past prime stall, leaving |
Just enough stub so the bulbs can |
be located in the fall. If it is do
sired to remove the buibs entirely, |
store them until fall in a dark, dry
place,
The beauty of the garden scene
{8 enhanced, of course, if annuals |
are grown in the space left unused |
by removal or clipping of bulb |
flowers, : !
It is advised also to clip the tops |
of early-blooming perennials when |
they have begun to wilt, Thiz is a |
good move not only because it f
keeps the garden neater, but he- |
cause there is a chance of procur- |
ing a second bloom from some |
flowers if the first is cut when just |
past its prime. This applies par- ;
ticularly to delphinium, sweet wil- |
liam, perennial dianthus and pyre- |
thrum. ;
In almost all cases, annuals bloom
more abundantly if they are picked
regularly. Continuation of bloom |
addqh:luch, of course, to the charm |
of t garden; and if one picks |
regularly he can keep the plants
free of dead foliage.
Later in the season the gardener
may wish to keep annuals well
pieked to prevent reseeding. In
certain localities certain annnals |
tend to mature seed, drop it, and |
produce an unwanted profusion of |
seedlings. the following spring. The |
gardener should ascertain which
annuals are likely to resced in his |
territory. t
In their dormant period, when
perennials have lost their beauty as |
foliage, they should be cut {5 the f
ground. Throughout the growing !
season, regular weeding will natur- |
ally be necessary. |

ONVENIENCES — A telephone
I C booth is a desirable feature in a
house today There is apt to be too
much noise in the front of the aver
age home and when this is not the
case and your house is located in
a quiet street, a booth is still a de
cided convenience.
A vault is another desirable fea
ture to install in your home. Such
a feature can be large enough to ac
commodate silver, pieces of plate,
jewelry and other valuables.
e e &
Clothes chutes are installed in
many homes today By means of
this device clothing may be dropped
| from the upper stories directly to
the laundry room in the basement
or cellar It does not cost a great
deal more in your building plans
and the steps saved are consider
able. Naturally, when goiled linens
v| can be handled in this manner it |
makes for a more sanitary house
hold operation. 'The busy house
) wife will appreciate the savings in
time.
. L -
Do not overlook the importance
of installing plenty of electric out
lets. These should be provided for
electric irons, egg-beaters, fans,
toasters, heaters, refrigerators,
stoves, vacuum cleaners and numer
ous lights. There should be a good
light at the kitchen sink and in
large homes another over the stove.
Lights should be so arranged that
they will reveal objects in the deep
interiors of closets when the doors
are opened. @ ®

CHOOSING the site. Before ob
taining the drawings of a house,
many things should be considered
that will have a direct effect upon
the design of the building. First,
the site should be studied with ref
erence to its surroundings and its
probable future development. Its
convenience to neighboring cities,or
towns should be considered, as well
ag means of public transit, service
in the matters of light, power, gas,
electricity, sewage, water supply,
garbage disposal, etc. The owner
should be reasonably sure that the
property in the vicinity will develop
s 0 as to increase in value and
beauty.

{ The parts of which a house con
sists may be considered under three
different groups; living, sleeping
and service groups,
The living group includes the lv
ing room, dining room, library, den,
porches, and other parts of the
house that are used for the com
fort and enjoyment of the family
and guests.
The " sleeping group comprises
bedrooms, sleeping porches, bath
rooms, closets, etc.,, that are gener
aily placed in the upper floors, ex
cept in bungalows, where they are
on the ground floor.
The service group consists of the
kitehen, pantry, store-closets, laun

should be conveniently grouped as
far as possible.

ACCOUNTANCY has firmly estab
lished itself as the most indis
pensable tool available to business.
A good accounting system not only
| reveals the trend and the present
condition of a concern, but supplies
the figures needed to control its
operations in coming periods. A
good accounting system does this,
| not only for a business as a whole,
! but for each individual department
, in the business.
| The employee who wishes to se
t cure advancement should be guided
by the remark made by the presi
i dent of a large company. He said:
- “I seldom can promote old em
. ployees to supervisory positions be
. cause they do not have a sufficient
~ understanding of accounting to
| operate departments economically
~ and eficiently. Unless a supervisor
~ is accounting-minded, he cannot
control the expenses for which he:
~ is responsible.” >
E.- >
i If a knowledge of accounting ig
~ indispensable to minor supervisors
~ and department heads, how much
more necessary is it to owners and
senior executives. Competition is
$0 keen today that few businesses
can survive unless losses are elimi
nated and effort concentrated on
the most profitable operations. Good
accounting tells the merchant those
lines which are profitable and in
dicates those expenses that are
excessive.
Through accounting the manu
facturer can learn what it ¢osts to
. produce, sell, and deliver a unit of
[ product to different types of cus
tomers in different areas and thus
’ to set prices accurately. In addition
it enables him to control manufac
turing, selling, and administrative
~expenses. In short, it makes profit
able cperation possible. ®
