Garden Home with Ideal Floor Plan

There are a few well-tried small house floor plans that continue to please and satisfy. This is one of them. Two average-sized bedrooms are separated by a bathroom and connected by a short hall. A short archway connects the hall with the living room and here, too, is a small closet. What a joy are plenty of closets This four-room house has ten closets. The main entranceway passes through a vestibule that has two closets. The kitchen has its own entrance. A door leads directly from the garage to a passageway between living room and kitchen. The twenty-five-foot living room faces the garden. There is plenty of space in one end of this room for a folding dining table. The architecture is conservative, and the house will have good resale value. While metals that are rust-proof and effectively withstand corrosion are a little more expensive than those that rust and corrode, they prove much cheaper after a few years of service because they do not require costly replacements. Either red brass pipe or copper tube is recommended for water lines because they will give long and satisfactory service. Copper shields will protect the house from invasion of termites. These insects cost property owners a loss of more than $50,000,000 annually.

Motorists Now May Name Own Tag Numbers

JACKSONVILLE, July 24 (Special). — The automobile owner who can't remember his tag number can get a sure-fire memory course for $1 and at the same time contribute to Florida's aid to dependent children fund. Under provisions of Senate Bill No. 763, enacted by the last Legislature, "upon application of any person, firm or corporation, accompanied by the fee of $1 in addition to all other costs and charges for the issuance of an automobile license plate, the tax collector of any county and the moter vehicle commissioner of the State of Florida are hereby authorized to issue an automobile license plate with any particular number selected by such applicant, when such number is available for such issuance." Section 2 of the act forbids the issuance of a selected number except upon the payment of $1. The memory is benefited by the ability of the motorist to buy a license plate which bears the same number as his telephone or his residence, or some thing else that he can't easily forget. If he is familiar with his priority tag number, he can have it duplicated. The act specifically states that all funds raised and collected pursuant to its provisions shall become a part of the state welfare fund, to be used exclusively in administering aid to dependent children. Since the Federal Government matches state money for the payment of aid to dependent children dollar for dollar, the car owner who selects his tag number and buys it actually contributes $2 toward the relief of Florida's needy and dependent youngsters.

This Week in Defense

(Continued from page 6) State to the nearest selected smelter. Price Administrator Henderson said additional supplies of waste paper and cardboard are needed for packing articles produced by defense industries and urged that waste paper be saved by the households for collection by waste paper dealers. PRICES—Labor Secretary Perkins announced retail food prices increased 1.7 per cent during the last two weeks of June, in addition to 1.6 per cent in the first two weeks of the month. Principal rises were in the price of eggs, lard, butter, pork chops and canned tomatoes, she said. President Roosevelt told his press conference he is considering placing a ceiling on rents and on commodities and asking Congress to put "teeth" in price-fixing measures. Price Administrator Henderson, speaking at Atlantic City, said costs and prices have risen at the wholesale level and will soon hit the nation's pocketbooks. Before long, he said, "there will be more purchasing power running around hunting something to buy than there are goods available." WPA AND DEFENSE—WPA Commissioner Hunter said total average WPA employment during the 1942 fiscal year will be maintained at 1,000,000 instead of 1,700,000 as in the past year. He said almost 30 per cent of all WPA workers were employed on national defense projects in June and cuts will be made more slowly from these projects than others. INCREASED WAGES—The Labor Department announced weekly earnings of wage earners in manufacturing industries in May rose to a new high of $30.69, a rise of 5 per cent since this April and 21 per cent over May, 1940. Hourly rates moved up to an average of 72.6 cents, a gain of 2.5 per cent over April and 9.1 per cent over the same month last year. The department of Agriculture reported the general level of farm wages rose to the highest level in 11 years on July 1, 60 per cent above the 1910-14 average. POWER FOR DEFENSE—President Roosevelt asked Congress for authority to establish regional or nation-wide daylight saving time for all or such parts of the year as deemed practical. The Federal Power Commission reported that rainfall lessened the power shortage in the Southeast although much more rain is needed before full usage of energy can be permitted small consumers.
