A front lawn is only a week- end penance, and should be dug up and cast aside.

All cracks in the outer walls should be filled in. Soup is not bad, and it is easy to work, al- though the house during wet weather is likely to froth a bit.

Su, I think this is rather pic- turesque, especially if you scented

soap,

The roof should be gone over thoroughly, preferably in the day- time. One is liable to render conspicuous crawling one's self about the roof with a hurricane Jump In the middle of the night.

The firul thing to do when in- spection of the roof is contemplated is to go somewhere and borrow a ladder. This takes about three days.

Always get your wife to hold the ladder, so that you have something suit to foli on In case of accl dents.

HAVING reached the roof, ex- amine the guttering carefully for birds' nests, tennis balls, stones, and amply rum flasks.

If it is a tiled roof it is better to stay on the ladder. This also ap- plies to slate roofs.

Corrugated fron roofs may be inspected with a fair amount of impunity, and you can always get someone to call the local fire bri- gude to get you down.again.

If the root needs painiing, paint yoursell all over first and then paint the roof. Then, if you get paint on you while painting the roof it won't matter,

Having Bnished the roof, wipe your hands on your hale and go to the nearest hotel and have thres pinia. I make this an invariable rule when painting roofs,

My wife often wonders why I paint the roof six times a week.

When (and it) you get down off the roof, the front and back doors are the next things to be examined, You will probably find that all the paint is scratched off around the keyhole and that the lower por. tion is dented in various places where you have been kicking it when you have lost your key.

If the door is very bad, take it off Its hinges and turn it around so that the outside is on the in- side.

This may be a bit confusing at. first, when you think you're going out when you're coming in. Hot you'll get used to it in time. After ali, appearance is everything.

Windows should come

next. Good taste dictates that a window with a busted sash-cord should not be propped up with an empty sauce bottle.

Reaturing sash-cords is a ticklish job, and I have found it easier to punch a hole in the window when fresh air. is needed and paste a piece of brown paper over it when you feel that the window should be shut.

This method may seem uncon- ventional, but it works.

People who nonchalantly raise and shut windows would be aston- Ished if they could see the inner works. Pulleys, ropes, and lead to open a weights are necessory window. Brute strength is neces- Bary to shut it.

I wonder what sticky-beak in- vented windows?

CASE FOR FEDERAL UNION

THE Discussion which Mr. Clarence Streit's book, "Union Now," started, both in Europe and America, is wholly to be welcomed. To-day ra- tional thought on the pro- blems of Federal Union is still possible. Moreover, when the storm of war has passed and the time has come to rebuild, ideas and projects worked out

to peaceful life again.

The only solid reason why I hesitate to back Mr. Streit's plan as it stands is because I do not believe that Amerienn opinion will back it. I cannot think that the United States will accept so wholesale a

of pooling their national sovereignty with Old Europe.

Personally-and I do know that many of my countrymen agree with me in this I would be disposed to support, as part of the peace settlement following this war, the widest and most ambitious federal

scheme that will win general consent.

Many of US in Britain whó hacked the Lengue of Nations, Woodrow Wilson's child, from ta birth-even when it was disowned in the land of its parentage-even when its Covenant was constantly violated, both in the letter and the spirit,

even when in successive crises the

courage of Governments, British and other, oozed out of their bools,

when

aggressors, first in one continent and then in an other, broke the peace and them- selves were not broken, would be prepared at the end of this war, for something much bigger und bolder and stronger than that most disappointing League.

to bold federal The opposition schemes will not come from those like-minded with us. It will come from faint hearts, from the vested national interests, from the tradi tionalists, and the Isolationists in all funds, from those who ask "Am I my brother's keeper?" and don't

know the answer.

The obvious sensible, solution is to set up, a world government, and drown DU natiouni sovereigntics. But this, I fear, will be too simple and too quick for the treaty makers.. If so, we shall have to do our best with something less.

And, second, within this world-wide member- ship regional groups, more closely koll, Europe and in other parts of the world, with much more pool- much lag of sovereignty and a higher level of common obligations and rights than in the wider body. Both parts of this dual structure will, I think, be found to be neces- sary.

Some critics of the League of Nations say that it failed because it was too universal. But, in truth, it Was never universal. The United States was never a man-. ber, Germany, did not Joln till 1026, nor Russia till 1934. Japan, Germany, and Italy left during the period of decline after 1931 be-

It was partly be- he enuse membership seemed to worth so little, either in normal or abnormal times, that in the end tho League fell to bits. And for this Inherent weakness in the League the United States bears almost all the responsibility.

Hence the need at the conclusion of this war for a world-wide Inter- national society, membership of which should be an indispensable condition for the enjoyment of the economie advantages indicated above. The minimum obligations would no doubt have to be less than those of the League Covenant, but at I should hope that they raight least include the duty to consult with other nations in the event of aggression or threat of aggression, the duty to submit all international disputes to predetermined peaceful procedures, and the duty to expel, and thereby to deprive of the above Sinle economic advantages, any

But because the League was never universal and. In particular because the Called States was not a member, it was never possible to make League membership atino- tive from the economic standpoint.
