■Uncle Sam Interested
In Better Farmhouses
RAYMOND U\
Times Washington Bureau, No. 704
Metropolitan bank Building.
WASHINGTON, Feb- 24.—Although
considerable attention has been given
In several govern-
Farmhouse ment departments
Improvement, heretofore to the
study and the plan
ning of buildings to house cattle,
poultry or hogs, it has remained for
the men connected with the presenth
administration of the agricultural de
partment to concentrate attention on
the better planning of buildings to
house humans. In many sections of
the country the house Is the least
modern of all the buildings on the
fram. When Secretary Houston re
cently inquired of 50,000 farm women
by letter as to how to Improve con
ditions in the country, he received
many pleas for the improvement of
the farm home so that the housewife
may be saved (steps and her labors
may be lightened.
These letters from farmers' wives
have led to a study of the improve
ment of the farmhouse plans, which
has been conducted in the office of
farm management, of which W. J.
Bpl!lman Is chief. An architect em
ployed by the agricultural department
{hat already made a suggested plan
for an Inexpensive small farmhouse to
cost SBOO to SI,OOO. The farm special
ists, with the architect, are now work
ing on a suggested plan for a larger
building to contain eight or 10 rooms,
and to cost $2,600 to $3,600.
j The government officials of the
.agricultural department are not plan
ning to put the architects of the coun
try out of business. The purpose in
publishing suggested plans is merely
to stimulate the interest of the farm
er In better and simpler types of con
jatruction and in the better Interior
! arrangement of rooms. It will not be
possible for the government to fur
nish the blue prints, of course, but
from the detailed drawings, which will
be prepared it will be possible for a
farmer to get the kind of house he
wants with a minimum of trouble.
The new standard plans will-put the
farmer in a better position to make
suggestions to the local architect,
who will find It easy to adapt the gov
ernment’s suggestions to a house of
almost any site.

Diary at Faßter Time
A number of people believe that
the position of the hands on dummy
clock* outside of jewelry store# In
dicates the hour of Lin cola’s death.
But thla Is not the case, the hands
on dummy clocks almost universally
point at s:l7, while Lincoln wan shot
at 10:20 at night and died at 7:22 the
following morning.
I remember in 1861 all dummv
clocks were made by one man, be
having a complete monopoly of' the
trade. On the morning of April Is,
1865, he was at work la hit shop with
his brush when he got the first nows
of the tragedy at Washington. CUdao-
Ing at a real clock, he noted that the
time was exactly 8:17. Ha Immedi
ately painted the hands of n dummy
clock on which ho was at work so as
to Indicate the time at which ho bad
received the news. From that time
he continued to point all hands on
hts digntoy clocks to Indicate 1:17,
and thereafter competitors who went
4nto the business copied bln alga
Clocks.
