frequently more attractive than can a

Tha Field club district baa had Ha
spring awakening and la a anno of great
activity thete day. A meeting hat been
culled by President J. M. Guild for next
Friday evening at the Field club, at
which all the club a actlvlllea wW ba
reported and further work outlined for
tha prlnf and o'lmmer.
An effort la being made to have th
Woolworth avenue lighting system In.
tailed by tha opening of th Field club,
although that la not far distant.
An active campaign for th suppression
of th evlli of vacant Iota, principal aa
th breeder of dandelion, will ba con
ducted ao that tha effort of .tha man
who keepa hi property In decent ahapa
will not ba thwarted by a lot next door
or across th street.
Tha Park board ha notified th elnb
that It will give aomo attention tbl
year to the central paining on Wool
worth avenue by planting tree where
tree are misting and will also put In
several beda of barberry and lew-growing
splrea. Tha club baa taken up with
the Park board tha matter of running
a water pipe Into the eentral parking.
o that theae may ba kept green In apile
of any drouth. Tree are being trimmed
all over tha neighborhood and lota of
hrubbery planted.
The cltliena there have railed In vari
ous waya nearly UOM for th Installa
tion of thirty-flv handsome concrete
standards, each to carry one large globe,
and thereby make Woolworth avenue
graceful and attractive by day as well
a by alght.
Those who opposed th laying of awltch
track In th lower business section of
tha city, particularly tha Union Pacific
Iracka up Jackson and Howard streets,
have those very nam track to call
responsible for th many big factories
that have located there In recent month,
Th last factory te pick that sect to
waa the Skinner Manufacturing company,
maker of macaroni, when tha lot was
purchased a few day' ago at Fourteenth
and Jackson streets. Thla move mark
th erection of tha third Industry la
that sect ton sine th Union Pacific
switch track were laid. Th lot waa
bought from th afcCagu Investment
company for C,M0, th track undoubt
edly adding much to make that value.
The Skinner Manufacturing company

two year old. T,he two-story and base- I
irent building, with a foundation for six '
Jtorh-s, win occupy tha (ull MixlS feet
space, M feet of trackage lying at the '
door. The other two new industries
along these track are the David Cole ,
Creamery company and th J. J. HaM

On can hardly blame a servant for
not wanting to occupy a room la an attic
wheat It la flnlahed oft In one re mots cor
ner, making It necessary for her to gq
through th greater portion of th attic
with Ita barnllke, "spooky" appearance,
and old, dusty furniture scattered around,
and generally unattractive but when the
stair leading to th attic Is broad, of
eaay rise, I plastered, has a hand rail,
reaches th second floor In a light, well
ventilated, plastered and decorated halt,
which la connected with either on of
several neatly furnished rooms, with any
unfinished parts completely hidden from
view by partitions with doors In them,
and wnen dormers of ample sis are pro
vided to give full height, well ventilated
rooms, there cannot possibly be any ob
jection te a aleeplng chamber In an attic
Th contention la often raised that be
ing Just tinder the roof, attlo rooma ar
exceedingly warm, and H la quit true
' that this la usually tha eaaa, but due to
two faulta In root construction. When
th roof ar papered well wader tha anla
glea and back papered between tha stud
ding, being constructed In every way a
well aa th wutalda wall of any frame
bouse, and when plenty of good elied
windows are provided la tha dormer,
with every room having openings that
will permit of a croa clrculatlea of air,
attie rooms do not prove warmer than
rooms oa the second story. When there
la any braes atlrring at all It la always
mors apparent la the attic rooma than
rooma on th lower floors, since,' be:r.
high, then Is less obstruction from sur
rounding nouses or bulldlnss to deflect
lbs prevailing winds
There are other purposes for which the
attic caa b used la addition to servants'
rooma or extra bed chambers. When
there are young people la the family It
la almost a crime not to finish oft ths
greater part of th attic aa a miniature
ballroom, with a good hardwood floor
and aeatly but Inexpensively decorated.
Th expense la slight and such a room
can be need by the young peopl m raaoy
ways. Fitted up with gymnastic psra
pbarnallla It will mak the boys of tbe
family popular In the neighborhood sad
contribute much te their health and en
joyment. A little rostrum st on end with
coupl of dressing rooms snakes bom
theatricals possible, and other light en
tertainments, and when a good dancing
floor la provided tha young people cm
under proper eondlttons enjoy this nat
ural pastime.
Aa attlo room Is a splendid place for
th bU'-ard table when members of the
fsjrjly enjoy this game. Parlor croquet
and tennis can also be played la a large
attle ballroom. For the former It Is nec
essary to have small bole bored In th
fToor la which t art th wicks Bowl,
teg alleys are a utile too noisy for the
attic, and should be oonf land to the base
ment, when th boase Is long enough.
