WIDE PIAZZA ADDS TO HOME
Part That Is Roofed May Easily Be
Converted Into Sun Parlor During
the Winter Months.
A good wide piazza or porch adds
greatly to the comfort and beuuty of
moat any home. In order to serve the
heat purpose It should be wide and
built around several sides of the house.
This will Insure a cool, shudy spot to ■
hang the hammock on a hot summer
day for rest and rending. A piazza
should be at least seven feet wide nnd
mny be as deep aa 12 feet. It Is not
necessary to have all the piazza cov
ered with a roof. It Is a good Idea
to have the part which is to be roofed
over so constructed that bv the erec- *
tlon of glass sides a apt porch can be I
provided for winter, use. In the win
ter a piazza which Is entirely roofed
tends to shut off light from the first
floor. For this reason the piazza roof
should be high, extending to the. hot- i
tom of the second flooilwlndows.
In the summer the piazza may be
covered with an awning, or a vine
trellis, which oi^ nights when there is
little air stirring does away with the
feeling of closeness otherwise occa
sioned. It Is a good time to be fore»
j sighted when ordering the piazza to
tell the architect that It should be
made so as to be screened for the
warm season. A fine piazza Is some
times a discomfort from the presence
of flies or a swarm of mosquitoes or
moths.
For a bungalow or summer cottage
near the salt water screens made of
copper wire are best as they corrode
less from contact with the sea breezes.
Ordinary black screens should be
painted two months before they are
Intended to be put In use so that the
paint may have time to harden. When
windows are put up In the winter
the window sashes should be I
painted with black paint over the red 1 ,
wash which is put on in the fac- i
tory and has little preservative qual- !
lty in It. ...

"'.TO PLACARD DIRTY PREMISES
I ... . _ , . . .
• The city of Alameda, Cal., has adopt
ed a unique plan to raise the standard
of cleanliness in residences and busi
ness houses. In future the sanitary
condition of the various premises is to
be shown by placards bearing the ln
scrlptions "Clean," "Dirty" or "Filthy."
Those places which do not satisfy the
board of health will be placarded as
dirty or filthy until they comply with
' the demands of the authorities.
I This action was decided upon by the
board of health, which appointed a
! committee to post the placards nnd to-■
care for the general health of the city.
The board of health Intends to inspect
not only the business houses but also
the private residences of the city and
to affix the placards to every house In
^ dty Thoge resldeneeli whlch can
be designated as "clean" will not be
placarded, but those In which sanitary
conditions are disregarded will be des
ignated as "dirty" or "filthy" until the
house owners remedy the conditions,
upon which the placards will be re
moved. -
As the board of health has arbitrary
powers under the city charter, the pla
cards must remain on the houses or
places of business until the tgglrd Is
satisfied that the conditions therein
are sanitary. If any householder tears
down the placards, the extreme pen
alty of the law can be enforced.
California City Adopta Unique Plan to
Raise Standard of Cleanlinese in
Reeidencee and Businese Houses.
Bristol Has City Manager.
The adoption of a city manager by
the town of Bristol, Tenn., with a
population of about 10,000, may not be
of the highest Importance from a po
litical viewpoint except for one reason
—it adds to the evidence that the city
manager idea Is spreading, leaving the
inference almost a certainty that It is
a question of time only until adminis
tration by city manager Is taken up by
the biggest cities as well as the smaller
towns. The choosing of q manager for
Bristol for a term of three years prom*
lses that the plan Is to be given a fair
test which It should have If any com
parison that will be satisfying is to be
made between the town's old political
System and tjie new. Unless a man
ager Is allowed the necessary time to
work reforms and present results, the
handicap would probably be too heavy
and In case of failure would register
a mark agaimt the dty manager un
Justly.
Shade for Pennaylvgnla Highways.
The Pennsylvania state department
of forestry and the state highway de
partment have completed arrangements
for co-operation In planting shade trees !
and fruit trees along the state high- j
ways. The trees will be grown from
seed by the forestry department in Its
nurseries, transplanted in areas set
aside for the purpose, then turned over
to the highway department w'hen they
have attained suitable size. Good
roads organizations will also assist In
the planting at that time. The spe
cies already transplanted are Scotch,
white and pitch pinea, Norway spruce,
Douglas fir, sugar Duple, white ash,
white elm, black cherry, honey locust
and European larch.
