FELT MATERIAL PROTECTS ROUSE Flaxlinum Lining Keeps Heat, and Cold Out. Because of the higher grade materials now used In home construction more care is given to finishing the interior. The Vonnegut Hardware Company handles all kinds of interior hardware, built in conveniences and other building aids. One product that has had a big sale during the last few months is Flaxlinum. a felted material built into the walls so it seals the house against outside temperature changes. Abrupt changes of temperature make this insutation adaptable to use in this section. This material is used to line cars I carrying perishable goods form the South to the North. Tough, durable and easily handled, it is the tried and proven method of protecting houses against heal, cold or storm. It keeps the house warmer in winter a.nd cool- j er in summer. One-half inch of Flaxlinum is equivalent in heat and cold resistance' to two and one half inches of wood, ! eight inches of brick and mortar or to thirteen inches of concrete.

America has produced only one na- ! tlve type of house, the colonial, and this. In its true or modified form, is j used with increasing artistic possibll- ! lties.

The Heeds live on i the west side of the house faring j Audubon Rd. The comfortable porch with red cement floor so cut as to | simulate tile, forms an inviting ap 11 roach to the great solid colonial door with plate sidelights.

BUILDERS ARE GIVING ATTENTION TO ARCHITECTURE Nelson Tells of Effort to Make Home Beautiful as Well as Useful, More attention is being given to the j style of architecture and the details of , its beauty, according to William F. , Nelson, designer and builder, 4211 Col i lege Ave. "For years too many homes have been constructed without regard to architectural beauty. Modem architecture demands more than the lmpor tant element of beauty, however, for it places emphasis on producing'a dur I able structure as well aa a beautiful j ono. The designer and builder gives careful study to avoid waste of .space I and waste of materials. He avoids 1 using the types of houses with lost space that can not he converted into added comfort. "Never has there been so much building and never has this building been of the high character it is today. Homes are being built to stand an almost unlimited time, a constant source of pleasure and comfort to the owner and a credit to the city. “We find most of our clients are building of brick veneer, due in large part to its durability. There seem to lr> inntit ralde styles of architecture, j a ret h iany follow colonial lines. "We ake care of aii details in con- I struetion of a house. We draw plans, make blue prints. The average person likes to have all of the detail work handled by one firm, because It slmplift sa matters."

PRICE OF LUMBER NEVES WILL DROP TO FORMER LEVEL Dealer Says Costs Are High Because Supply Is Being Exhausted, "The United States is cutting its timber four times as fast as it can !><> produced," says Boss Hill, Jr., of tho Indianapolis Lumber Company. "The result is building areas are being called upon to pay additional money for timber supplies as the result of increased distance from markets. The United States is using 66,000,000,000 feet of lumber a year. Os the 842,000,000 acres of timber in the country twenty-five years ago. more than three-fifths has already been utilized. These facts, together with the fact that ihe South is no longer a ' producing factor for the Northwest, make a great deal of difference in the lumber market. "There is one thing that people should realize, and that Is lumber costs will not go hack to what they were fifteen or twenty years ago. The decrease in the amount of available lumber and the increase in the distance that It must V* shipped prevent this. Figures ahsr the prevailing prices of lumber are now 36.2 per cent lower than during the peak three years ago. This is not true of building commodities in general. “The public is assured it will get just the grade lumber ordered. Under Ihe Dumber Merchants Credit and In- j spoction Bureau, of which our firm is j a member, there is a guarantee there I will he no substitution of inferior | grades. This has always been our policy, and we are glad to be a part of the big - local organization that stands for thesw principles.”
