OES anything in the plans and specifications for a home interest a client—especially 
a woman—more than the bathroom and its equipment. 
It is the comjort-center of the household; and so long as houses are built to live 
in, the far-sighted architect will take no chances there. 
He knows that if 7¢ is not satisfactory the house will be viewed through dark 
glasses and mountains made of mole-hills. 
‘The safe way is to specify bathroom, kitchen and laundry plumbing equipment 
that is manufactured throughout by one house, bearing the reputation that can be 
gained only one way. 
That’s ‘“‘WOLFF’S”? line.

many color reproductions of actual posters 
are given throughout the work. The writer 
does not confine himself to the conception

information on checking the service, con-

cost of posting by States, and general hints 
to advertiser and poster. Accompanying 
the reproductions of posters that have be-

FarM DEVELOPMENT. By Willet M. Hays, 
Assistant Secretary United States De- 
partment of Agriculture. London: 
Kegan Paul, Trench, Tribner & Cos, 
Ltd. New York: Orange Judd Com- 
pany, 1910. Pp. xiix391. 281 illustra- 
tions. 
A notable contribution to the literature 
of agriculture in its practical aspects has 
recently been issued under the title of 
“Farm Development,’ by the Assistant 
Secretary of Agriculture, Willet M. Hays. 
From his long and wide experience as a 
teacher and investigator in the college and 
school of agriculture of the University of 
Minnesota and as administrative officer in 
the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Sec- 
retary Hays has prepared a most instruc- 
tive discussion on soils, selecting and 
planning of farms, subduing fields, drain- 
age, roads, and fences, introducing the 
whole with chapters dealing with the re- 
lations of general science to agriculture 
and with farming as a vocation. 
THE ForEST AND THE SAW MILL. Chicago: 
National Lumber Manufacturers’ As- 
sociation, 1910. 8vo.; 269 ppt.) Price. 
50 cents. 
The eighth annual convention of the 
National Lumber Manufacturers’ Associa- 
tion was held in April, 1910, at New 
Orleans. This is the official report of the 
convention, and is dedicated to those who 
are seeking practical means of forest con- 
servation. Among the papers read before 
the assembly, and here given in full, are 
“The Problems of Private Forestry ;” “The 
Lumber Production of the United States ;” 
and a symposium of trade relations and 
conditions under such headings as “The 
Coastwise Trade;” ““Waste of Natural Re- 
sources;” and “Insurance and Price 
Problems.” It is hard to find a phase of 
the subject which is not ably presented. 
Freight classification, forest fire protection, 
the common interests of banks and lumber- 
men—all are carefully discussed by men 
thoroughly conversant with facts and con- 
ditions. 
Art-Crarts Lamps. How to Make Them. 
By John D. Adams. Chicago: Popular 
Mechanics Company, 1911. 12mo.; 
87 pp.; 16 designs. Price, 25 cents. 
The aim of this handbook is to enable 
anyone to construct from paper, cardboard, 
and wood, with the aid of a sharp knife and 
a little paint and glue, really artistic lamps 
for the hall, the den, the porch, and the 
dining-room. The designs run from simple 
portable lamps to four-light chandeliers. 
THE AUTOMOBILE. Its Selection, Care and 
Use. By Robert Sloss. New York: 
Outing Publishing Company, 1910. 194 
pp. Price, S125: 
A very good little book, that should prove 
valuable not only to intending purchasers 
of a machine, but also to those who already 
possess one.
