Planning to Build This Year? These Suggestions Are Worth Cash to' You
an home EQIIiPPEO WITH CONVENIENCES Many Built-in Features Add to Comfort of Newest Houses, ' Aladdin. with his famous lamp, could not summon more labor-saving' devices than can be found in the modem home or apartment. Each year presents to home builders new conveniences and utilities to make the home more complete and useful. The rapidly increasing population with the proportionate rise in real estate values, as well as the desire to place the home on an efficiency basis, have been factors in influencing the use of built-in apartments. The day is almost here, in the opinion of C. J. Prinzler. of the Builders' Department of the Vonneguw Hardware Company, when, -with the exception of a few furnishings and decorations, there will be no extras to buy. The entire appointments of the home will be built into walls or ■kClosets. F A good example of this is the Mur-phy-in-a-Poor bed. which adds another { room without the cost of building it. Actual experience and figures have, j proved this bed is one of the biggest factors in reducing construction costs. Likewise there is a constant saving of time and labor in caring for fewer rooms and the saving in cost of heating, lighting and furnishing of the extra room. Murphy-in-a-Door l>eds are made entirely of metal and are sanitary. They are finished in a variet of enamel and wood finishes. They come in single, double and twin bed styles. The Murphy people also make an ironing board and cabinet built into the wall. It can be installed in old homes as well as in n*'W. OIL BURNER HELPS SOLVEPROBLEMS Automatic Feature Regulates Heat of House, A comparatively new heating im-I-rovement is the Williams Oil-O-Matic I burner. It can be installed in any type furnace or boiler and not only: jwill lengthen the life of the furnace phut will increase its efficiency. With an Oil-O-Matic, according to j W. B. Long of W. B. Long & Cos., j 14-1 E. Ohio St., an even temuerature j can be maintained (lav and night. An | automatic attachment can he set to lower the night temperature and then turn on the extra heat needed to warm the house in the morning. “Another great advantage in the Oii-O-Matic is the fact any kind of J oil, from crude oil to kerosene, can he used with equally good results.” Long said. “The improvement in the gas pilot attachment has practically eliminated gas expense, a big item on many oil burners. “Many builders of new homes, both modest and expensive, excavating only a small space, installing our heater and entirely ignoring sto'rage room for coal. These people are convinced of the efficacy, economy and the satisfaction afforded by the Oil-O-Matic. Another item that mikes it . popular is the cleanliness with which \ it is operated, a thing particularly j appreciated after the smoke and dirt of coal.” Marshall to Address Grads fly Tint's Hperinl LAFAYETTE.

COMMONER NOW POTENTIAL QUEEN (Continued From Pago I) Decorations. festoons. streamers, pennants and flags that made the city along the route to be taken by the bride and groom a bliize of color hung dejectedly in the morning moisture. but the ardor of the thousands could not be dampened. Other hundreds of thousands came pouring to join them with the daylight, until it seemed millions of people must be moving toward the abbey. The long wait throughout the morning for crowds between the palace and Parliament Square was broken by the merriment of street performers who were shooed away nervously shortly before 11 o’clock. At exactly eight minutes past, the big gates before the palace swung open and the King and Queen, accompanied by Prince George, still a younger son than Duke, drove out in a glittering gjass coach, designed that all might see them. Queen Mary sat proudly erect, bowing and smiling in response to the cheers —even though her son was behng married. Five minutes later, amidst a craning of necks that interferred somewhat with the roar of cheers, the crowd saw the bridegroom, tight-lipped and smiling somewhat nervously with heightened color, drive from the gates, his brother best man, the Prince of Woles, grinning broadly at his side. An escort of clattering, red trousered Hussars surrounded their gilt coach in which the Princes rode. The carriage proceeded down the f*° n , mwuas into the hone guards pa-
FLOWERS TO BE STUDIED ' Instructor Appointed at McCormick's , Creek Canyon. Richard Lieber. director of the State conservation department, has arranged with the Nature Study CJult of Indiana for Miss Luci Pitzschler of this city to act as guide and instiuctor in the study of wild flowers at McCormick’s Creek Canyon State Park for a short period this spring. Miss Pitzschler will he at the park for two weeks, beginning April 26. will guide parties through the reservation and will report to Lieber what wild flowers are in bloom. McCormick’s Creek Canyon State Park Is a reservation of 355 acre# situated in Owen County, three miles east of Sp< ucer. , NEW STiiGCO IS PUT ON MARKET Beautiful Results Obtained From Covering Scientic methods of combing ingredients of magnasite mortar with chloride has made a superior “com-plete-in-the-bag" product constituting an exterior practically impervious to weather conditions. This stucco, called Elastica, sold by the Indianapolis Coal Company, was used in the Carl Prinzler home. 3535 Central Ave. It carries a guarantee of ten years against disintegration from natural causes. It is as durable as brick or stone, offers greater variety and beauty in finishes, tones and color schemes, and is less expensive. This company has a display room on the second floor of the Bankers’ Trust building, affording a comparison of the different colored and finished bricks as they appear together with different colored mortnrs. Colored dashes are used with carving effects in the stucco displays. The Indianapolis Coal Company is building a number of Standard Oil stations. These are to be made of ! cherry red brick.
radg and thence via Whitehall to Parliament Square and the Abbey i Along the route, jammed almost motionless, the throngs paid homage to the royal family with hoarst cheers. Then came Lady Elizabeth with her father, the Earl of Strathmore, from their home on Brutom St. The blushing pretty Scotch girl in her gorgeous wedding gown of royal lace was more confused than she might have been when she found she vas to ride in a resplendent state coach of gold and crimson. Being a commoner before the ceremony, it had been planned for her to come to the Abbey in a simple > u riage, but King George, carrying out the < 'inderolla tradition, sent the magnificent equippage designed only for royalty. Appearing somewhat nervous Lady Elizabeth shrank into a comer of the coach and held her father’s hand tightly as the carriage approached the Abbey. But she managed to brave a smile and many friendly nods as she stepped from the coach and entered the church. Outside the Abbey on a temporary grand stand, nobility and society watched the last exterior details of the ceremony, while the people, from positions less advantageous, stood on tip toe for a lat glimpse before the tig carved doors swung to behind the last of the wedding party. Inside the more important guests had been long in their places. The ceremony was brief. It followed the church of England ritual and Lady Elizabeth promised to “love, honor and obey.” The archbishop of Vork performed the ceremony and in a brief address to the wedded couple on what he termed “the crowning day of your lives” said solemnly: Ts the Prince of Wales does not marry, any heir to the union sealed ti-dav will be in lino for the throne of England. The last occasion on which the son of a reigning king of England wedded a commoner in the Abbey was more than six centuries ago, in 1260, when Edmond Crouchbank married Ave line of Lancaster, daughter of the Duke of Albemarle. The Duke and his bride, the former very military in his air service uniform, with the hat like an inverted bowl with a stiff'egret sticking up, over which there has been s*> much discussion; the bride, charming in her wonderful gown of lace that beggared description, were not allowed to escape their friends. They drove to the palace, but over a longer route, along which thousands who had not hitherto caught even a glimpse of the wedding show had waited patiently since day break. This route took them down Whitehall, to the tomb of the Unknown soldier, where the bride laid her bridal bouquet and every one stood silent a moment in tribute to the national hero. . Traffic had been stopped for miles around at 9 a. m. and 7,500 foot police, 200 mounted and 1,000 specials kept the pace for the Duke and his bride. The reception accorded the couple in general throughout the city ex ceeded even that given Princess Mary when she was married last year. Many thousands of Americans and other tourists were well paid for posts of vantage and the spring throngs from the provinces made it irt many ways the greatest holiday London has seen since the last coronation.

Comfort and convenience, combined with artistry of design and teauty of furnishings, make the Carl J. Prinzler home. 3535 Central Ave., one of unusual charm. The architect. Frank K. Hunter, designed the house after the modern English ’ style, and it has been developed in gray-white stucco with deeper gray wood trim, green asphalt shingle roof, and dull red brick and cement porch floor and entrance way. A welcoming atmosphere is given by *tho friendly porch n hich extends across the entire front with a short railing surounding the second floor entension. The main entrance, which is on tiesouth side, is an unique and interest ing detail of the exterior. The door of English pattern is heavily studded with wood nail heads and is equipped with a heavy silver knocker. A Dutch lantern stands near to light the night guest. Hallway Is Spacions A spacious hall does away with the dark. uninteresting effect often given by halls. Here ono first meets the. gray color scheme that characterizes the Interior. Silver tone<i tapestry paper and rose taupe carpet form a delightful color harftiony; French gray woodwork and silver lighting fixtures add to the color agreement. From the entrance a low step leads to the first floor proper. From here the hall stretches back to the dining room. A largo living room is on the left. The kitchen and adjoining breakfast room are on the right. The living room is characterized by the comfort of a heavy rose-taupe velour overstuffed davenport with large foot pillow; by a cheerful fireplace .artistically constructed of putty colored cement that Is so designed as to simulate boulders, and by a- number of rose-shaded wall lights that furnish light when the sun has sunk too low to send its light through four sets of casement windows. The doorway between the living room and hall has re ceived a most delightful treatment In gray, sheen-giving drapes that cover only the upper half of the arched doorway. The gray is relieved by the

FURNACE CHANGE CUES DOWN COST Cast Iron Instead of Steel Is Being Used, Heating plants constitute a major item in the upkeep of a home. The initial coat is a small part of ,the expense, for furnace costs continue as long as the home is maintained, and in many instances the yearly cost increase. For this reason the person w ho intends to install a furnace should realise that, like a watch, “the inside is more important than the outside.” Furnace manufacturers of Indianapolis have been active in making Improvements that have added to efficiency: service and longevity have been greatly Increased. Hyman Escol of the Ideal Heating Company, pioneer In the furnace manufacturing business here, has made an Improvement in the furnace that hears his name, that promises to add to its life and service. This improvement has been in the form of a reinforcement in the portion of the radiator exposed to the greatest degree of heat, this inset being of cast iron. When the whole radiator was made of steel the portion exposed to the most intense heat burned out more quickly than the pari less exposed, resulting In a smoky furnace. Since the cast Iron has mbre fire resistance than steel, this improvement will largely overcome this trouble. FURNITURE IS STOLEN Two Men Haul Bed and C hairs From Home.

ARCHITECT KIUST STUDY HIS WORK ERi ALL SIDES Satisfying Owner and Constructing Artistic Building Is Problem, All is not sunshine apd flowers In the life of an architect, ever, if the public pictures him with a flowing tie, a far-away look, a gold pencil and an ivory rule, says F. S. Cannon, 21 Virginia Ave. “There are so many angles from which an architect must work,” he said. “He must plan the house to meet the approval of the owner. He must do it economically, yet he must keep it in the bounds of proper and artistic construction. The trouble with so many cases is the builder loses sight of the big things in an attempt to get in some detail, thereby losing the proper perspective. “There is a keen pleasure for the , architect in a satisfactory job, both from his standpoint and from the view point of the owner. Especially Is this true if the owner grows more satisfied' with his home after he has lived in It for several months. “We are doing considerable commercial designing and in a way this Is most interesting. The processes em ployed ip a plant must be studied and the building designed to take care of them. The ability of a scientific engiI neer must be coupled with his architect’s sense of what Is right. The J. F. Wild Bank has been an interesting building from this angle.. LUMBER LEADING IN HOMEBUILDING Notwithstanding the number of stucco, brick and stone houses being constructed, the home built of lumber leads with a runaway margin. According to A. Coburn of the Michigan Lumber Company, nine out of every ten houses being built in Indianapolis are constructed of lumber. “The average home is built of yellow pine from the South: the rest of the lumber comes largely from the West coast,” Coburn said. “In building a house of lumber different efi sects can he achieved in arrangement |of materials. No longer need the ; heuse be square with plain siding ' Artistic homes can be achieved as easily with lumber as with any other material. The increase In lumber prices has j been less than that in any other ms- | terial or in labor. Prices are as low 'as they will be, as far as can he j determined, and spring is the natural j time to build.”
