?mwm MAKE PARKS OF BACKYARDS Baltimore Has Demonstrated That Division Fences May Profitably Be Done Away With. | : It has already been convincingly demonstrated, here in Baltimore, that the scheme of tearing down division fences between city home ?backyards and developing the unobstructed stretch of apace thus provided as a continuous flower garden or a grassed lawn, is no chimerical or impractical dream. It has been demonstrated be cause it has been done on several back stretches and partially accomplished in hundreds of instances. By partially accomplished we mean those instances where two or three or four adjoining householders have thrown their back yards into a common and developed the enlarged spaces into flower gar dens. This backyard park idea, de veloped to the limit of potentiality, would mean the tearing down of all fences on both sides the midway alley and beautifying all the yards upon some harmonious scheme of orna mental gardening. *, There are comparatively few block centers in which this complete scheme of ornamentation can be realized, for the reason that many owners, wish to build a garage, a stable or some other kind of outbuilding in the backyard and fronting along the alley. While the pin ing of rear buildings in ?ne or more of thc backyards of a block in terferes with the complete realization of the backyard parking scheme, it need not prevent the partial carry ing out of the plan. And as to back buildings, their ugliness and inhar raony can be greatly modified by planting climbing roses or other climb ing vines along their sides and rear ends. There is nothing so utilitarian -not even a stable-that every thought of beautification ! should be abandoned In 1 connection with it.-Baltimore American. FIRE PREVENTION PAYS WELLj Safe Construction Lowers Insurance and RedwC" Depreciation . Repairs Cost Little, i If the walls and roof of the house are of fire-resistant material fully 60 per cent of the fire hazard is overcome, says the writer of an article on "Com mon Sense Home Building," which is published in the June issue of Con struction. In the Interior it ls not nec essary to eliminate wood from the fin ishing. There is no objection to trim on doors and even the floors above the first may be of wood. / The basement should, by all means, be cut off from the rest of the house by a masonry floor, protected stairway and fireproof doors connecting with the first Abbr. Partitions should be of fire-resistive material in order to check the rapid spread of flames. In other words, think of fire as lt really is and use common sense in the construction of the house. In -most localities a house of this type is credited with a noticeable re duction in insurance cost. Naturally, too, the cost of maintenance is re duced, painting and repairs are not necessary. Another saving I factor is the matter of depreciation. A frame house with wood shingles, built as they .?re today, will depreciate just three times as quickly as a masonry house with a common-sense roof. Chicago's City Planning. Chicago, the premier American city in city-planning work, is about to in vade the world of the "movies." It is going to show other municipali ties how to make themselves more at tractive, healthful and prosperous, and as an object lesson will display views of present-day and future Chicago to millions of people throughout the Unit ed States, Canada and Europe. To satisfy demands made by more "than a hundred American cities which are watching Chicago's planning ef forts, the Chicago plan commission has arranged to have the entire Chicago plan put in film form. The national, state, county and city officials in Chicago, members of the Commercial club, members of the plan commission and the officers and direc tors of the leading civic, social and commercial organizations, industrial clubs, real estate board and women's clubs are to be visualized. The Household Incinerator. - An aid In sanitation especially use ful in the country is a small garbage incinerator which can be attached to the ordinary kitchen range. The sur plus heat from the range will dry the garbage in a short time. After all the moisture has been taken up, a damper is opened, which allows a draft from tue firebox to pass over the dried gar bage and consume it to ashes in a few minutes. The ashes can be re moved from the incinerator without being mixed with those of the range. The garbage ashes constitute a valua ble fertilizer. Good Accompaniment.
