Substantial Brick Design That " Has Charm of Its Own. BIG SUN PARLOR IS FEATURE

This Home Is Designed With the Idea of Security, Comfort and Durability Uppermost—Planned for Large Family. Dy WILLIAM A. RADFORD. Mr. William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building, for the readers of this paper. On account of his wdde experience i as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, i>e is, without doubt, the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to W illiam A. Radford, No. 1827 Prairie avenue, Chicago, III., and only enclose two-cent stamp for reply. In their hasle to build a home uifiny people are liable to erect a Ilium structure that will not stand the strain and wear of years. This, however, is not the case with the substantial home shown in the accompanying illustration. It has been built with an idea of security,, comfort and durability. In building it, the architect did not overlook general charm and attractiveness. The colonial type of house is one of the most popular‘in all parts of the country today. While it originated in the East in the days of the early eolonlsts, it has appealed so strongly to everyone that it is found in all parts and all sections. Very often the construction is frame, but where fire restrictions prohibit the use of wood, a colonial home of brick can be built with pleasing results. This home has ail the features of the colonial type In its quaint entrance of white, enhanced by white pillars supporting a small balcony with ornate iron railing, green shutters and roof dormers with arched windows. In addition it has the latest Innovation of modern building—the sun parlor and sleeping porch, 'flic new lias hee^i linked with Urn old

for the very good reason that they are only the cause of unnecessary work. An extra lavatory has been provided off the reception hall. This Is an additional convenience often overlooked. The stairs to the upper floor lead from the kitchen. Upstairs ample provision for sleeping quarters has been made with four large bedrooms, and a sleeping porch. Each bedroom has at least two windows, a most essential feature In this room. Proper ventilation is important in more ways than one, and in the bedroom it iS most important of all. The comfort and general health of the family depends puon it. The two front bedrooms are the largest, being 14 feet (1 inches by 10, feet G inches and IT by 10 feet 0 inches. The two rear bod-

Second Floor Plan. rooms are 13 by 13 feet G inches, and 13 robt G inches by 13 feet G inches. A closet has been provided for eagh room*, The bath room is of the latest type, containing built-in fixtures and a shower. In a small alcove ou one side is a handy linen closet. The equipment of the modern hath room cannot receive too much attention. \\ ith the development of the manufacture of plumbing fixtures it has come to he one of the most sanitary and attractive rooms in the modern home. The cellar of this home—for it is a

In summer this can be screened in to provide plenty of fresh air, while protecting the occupants from flies, insects and the like. The house, exclusive of the sun par-lor.,is-3S by 30 feet. A large terrace extends the full width. On the first llnor tic plans call for three rooms, living room. dining room and kitchen. In addition there is a large reception hall. The-living room, as in all houses of this type, is the main room. It is laid out large,-comfortable and cheerful. A wide-open brick fireplace at one end is a sure source of much warmth

cellar when we. speak of this type of house—contains some of the important features of a home of this size, namely, the laundry and heating system. A good heating plant is important. Without it comfort in a beautiful home is not possible. In this house the system has been extended to both sun parlor and sleeping porch. There are many people in this world today who still have that old love for a real home. They do not want to live in a’crowded apartment nor do they care for the bungalow. What they want is a house with plenty of rooms and no ernmpinoss. For them this home will he particularly appealing. Again,, there are many who have a great affection for the. things of the past. In this type of home they have the happy combination of the times of our forefathers with the modern age, in short the home of a hundred years or more ago adapted to modern conditions, equipped with the latest conveniences. but still possessing the ennint and appealing chafncterislies of the days which gave It birth.

Twentytwo by fourteen feet, it is plenty large enough for a big family and the ideal place to lounge and read in the evening. ^Directly to the rear of the living room and connected with it by a wide open doorway is the dining room, 18 by 13 feet. It is also well lighted and exceptionally bright and cheerful. The sun parlor can be entered by doors from both living and dining rooms. On real warm days luncheon can be served in the sun parlor. The kitchen is conveniently located with reference to the dining room. It is small and complete, designed to save many steps for the housewife. Large kitchens are no longer specified

Turks “Buffaloed." Ignorance as to the real significance of the word “mandate” is attributed to many Anatolians, who, it appears, are greatly puzzled by this word, which has come into the popular speech only since the covenant of the League of Nations was framed. This eynfusion is. it seems, in part due to the fact that the word is extremely similar io the Turkish word meaning “buffalo,” and the natives, quite reasonably, fail to see. in what way the imposition of a “buffalo” could he of an advantage either to them or to their neighbors!— Christian Science Monitor.

HELP BOOST POST-DEMOCRAT SUBSCRIPTION j We have a suggestion to make to the live democrats of Muncie || and Delaware county which, if carried out with the right kind of en- A H thusiasm and concerted effort, will add thousands of names to the p K Post-Democrat’s subscription li^t. Our plan is for those democrats who can afford it, to order and H pay for a certain number of subscriptions to this paper, to be sent to p P individuals who would be benefitted by the wholesome truths pub- ^ P lished weekly in its columns. || There are thousands of men out of work in Muncie at the present p m time. These men are having a hard time of it finding money to buy If the necessities of life, consequently it is impossible for many of them y to take the paper at this time. Later, when, the factories resume * m work, these men will not find it a hardship to pay the two dollars H ® subscription price. y y The publisher is making a special club rate of $1.50 a year for A A five or more yearly subscriptions paid in advance. At the top of the || * editorial column appears a blank club subscription form. If you have y vi! interest enough in a worthy cause to do your bit toward enlarging the H Post-Democrat’s sphere of influence, fill out the blank and enclose a y 'M check covering the amount required to pay for the number of sub- M scriptions ordered, and mail to the Muncie Post-Democrat. We will p H pledge you that every dollar sent in will be used in adding to our !; j |p subscription list. M || Do you remember how you cussed during the last campaign be- p S cause there was no democratic newspaper here to refute the flood of f'\ p republican misrepresentations? Now is the time for you to do your M y part toward the establishment of a newspaper that will tell the truth m m to the people of Muncie and Delaware county. Without the undivided support of Delaware county democracy, no M democrat newspaper can exist in Muncie. Without a strong news- a w paper democracy here has no chance to win in the coming city elec- || tion or any qther election in the future. It will not cost you much to stand sponsor for the sending of A | the Post-Depiocrat to five, ten or twenty persons for one year. p The republican line is already wavering in Muncie.
