RADFORD Mr. William A. Radford wilt answequestions and give ADVICE FREE <•: COST on ail problems pertaining to th. subject of building, for the readers of this paper. On account of his wid. 1 experience as editor, author and manufacturer, he Is. without doubt, th highest authority on the subject. Address all inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 1827 Prairie avenue, Chicago . 111., and only Inclose twu-cent stamp , tor reply. An unusual combination of buildin_materials was used in this attractive > home. The lower walls were constructed of field stones, while above the stucco the English style of bat- ! tened walls was used. However, the combination makes a very effective i home. The floor plans show seven rooms, | three downstairs and four bedrooms

Solid Masonry Walls Should Be “Furred” l Investigations conducted by D. i Knickerbocker Boyd, consulting archi- ■ tect of Philadelphia, give scientific ! confirmation to the popular conviction that plaster should not be applied di- i reedy to the interior surfaces of the masonry walls of buildings. This conclusion was arrived at after an examination of the views of numerous architects, city building inspectors, building associations, building mate- i i rial manufacturers and inspectors of I federal government construction in all i parts of the country. Practical unanimity of opinion was i found among architects and building . officials in favor of furring—that is | providing wooden strips to support , lath or its equivalent, and thereby : separating the plaster from the ma- , I soury walls—especially for the better 1 class of work in districts whbre hard rains accompanied by high winds ocI cur. About the only section of the country where furring is not necessary for good construction is the arlri southwestern states, where the rainfall is small and low temperatures de j not occur. The building material manufacturers agreed that the solid masonry walls of dwellings should be furred, that masonry walls containing hollow space should be furred if mortar i points tun clear through or when there i is doubt as to the quality of the worki mansliip, but that walls of unbroken I hollow spans or with mortar joints i "not extending clear through may safe- ■ ly be plastered without furring. ' The reasons for these conclusions are that in regions of high humidity and long driving rains, moisture will penetrate and dampen solid nuisonfy walls. In cool climates and high altitudes such walls are subject to condensation on the inner surface, resulting in the deposition of moisture on walls and floors If of rfiasonry. The result Is injurious to plaster and mars the inner appearance of rooms. It might be added that the continual deposition of moisture in this way is unsanitary. , Another consideration in favor of furring masonry walls before plastering them is the economy of heat and of fuel resulting from, the Insuifltdry effect of the dead air space created by ■ the furring strips. This is important, I in view of the fact that approximately i 30 per cent of the heat lost in dwellings escapes through the walls.

The living room, extendin across the front of the house, is 13x2.' with the dining room and kitehet at the back. Each one of the bed rooms is a corner room, giving plent; of light and ventilation. The entrance at the side leads lnt< a hall In the center of the house, thstairs to the second floor leading ou of it. This Is a good arrangement a from this hall all three rooms down stairs may be reached without goim through any of them. Those on tin , second floor may be reached in th< same manner. c Tlie house is 20 feet 6 inches b. 38 feet and has a basement of th< same dimensions. The bathroom oi the second floor is located so that i | is of easy access, while a lavatory a | the end of the hall downstairs is i convenience.

J Staircase Can Be Made Beautiful, Expert Sayi Stairs are useful, they may also !>■ beautiful, but surely they must alway I be safe. The combination can be ob tqlned. and If ft slightly higher cost 1 made necessary, it Is worth while froi. tiie security, utility and beauty tha this piece f furniture offers in th home. Proportion of the stair is essentia! Architects have found a simple rul that applies very well to stairs ii homes. It goes like this: “Take twice the height of the rise ’ plus the width of the tread, from not ing to posing, and the result must 11< ! between 24 and 25.” Thus, for a seven-inch riser, we ge I 14 ns the first result and this deducte< 1 from 25 leaves 11 as the preferre i width of tread. If a ten-inch tread i • wanted, then 25 minus 10 equals If and 15 divided by two equals seve and a half; n ten-inch tread and i seven and a half inch riser is a goo< ' combination. Where there is need for mountin quickly’, as perhaps in the attic stair; an eight or nine inch riser is desirabh i Then the tread should be nine-iuch o I seven-inch, respectively. Have th tread and the risers all of the sam width and height throughout the flight as there is chance of accident. Winding stairs are another source o missteps and accidents. Another poin to consider th building the stairswhich incidentally should be bttilt con pletely like a piece of furniture an then put in place—is the head rooti Not every one has a high hat, bu on the head of a six-foot man it make a fine test of the clear space nbov him as he goes up or down-the stain Even if he can get by bare-heade-I without striking his head on the stal wall, that restricted place ought n< to give him the sense of a low bridg | It Is better to have a few feet les closet space or hallway in the secon story than the feeling every time yo come down the stairs that you turnduck your head. Gray Makes Room Large A warm gray color may be used f< the walls In order to make a rooi appear as large as possible. Thi gray, made from Chinese blue an Venetian red, combines a warm ove tone with the peaceful character < gray. If that is used the woodwor should be dark cream and the ceilin light gray. Paneling is very good I a room of this snrL
