Another view of the Keed-Bosart house is pictured this week with the side occupied by Mr. and Mrs. R. S. Rosart receiving emphasis. Contrary to appearances, the formal entrance is not from the front on Lowell Ave., as it appears from the photograph, hut on the east, where a Colonial door opens into an attractive hall. The living room lies to the left of the hall, the dining room to tho right and the kitchen south of the dining room. The stairway, finished in ivory with mahogany trim, as its fill the woodwork in this side of the house, goes up from the hall.

UNSIGHTLY FLOORS SERVE TO SPOIL 001 APPEARANCE i C. B, Wooster Evolves New Way to Clean and Polish Surfaces, Nothing better affords proper setting for beautiful furniture and furnishings than an attractive floor. No matter how expensive furnishings may be their beauty of detail will be lost if they are placed in a room where an unsightly floor furnishes the background. A satisfactory method of resurfacing floors so they will ha smooth, well grained and resplendent Is employed by C. B. Wooster, floor surfacing contractor, 1232 Ashland Ave. Wooster uses the American Universal floor surfacing machine. which has a drum around which is placed a sheet of sand paper. This drum is driven by an electric motor and a vacuum cleaner automatically catches dust and dirt, leaving the floors clean and beautiful. Work is done uniformly and quickly, as one machine will accomplish as much as five or six men in the same length of time. This machine cleans out the dirt, ground in for a long time, takes off the stains, removes old wax, paint or varnish, smooths out worn spots and makes the floor like new. Many people who arc building new homes are employing this method of surfacing floors, to bring out the, natural grain of the wood. The average home builder realizes and appreciates the necessity of having beautiful floors in his home, and the success of this method makes it seem the logical one to use.

Brick Veneer Has Strong Appeal for Permanency Variegated Colors Used in Construction of Some Homes With Pleasing Effect —gost of Upkeep Low,

For the man who seeks to build a house that will he beautiful when completed and grow more beautiful as time goes on; a house that will bo as inhabitable in the days of the grandchildren as in the present generation, one of brick veneer holds a strong appeal. The bricks of the present building ago are not one dull rod, but range in color from light huff to the dull reds in shades of tan and brown. A variegated effect is obtained by using bricks of different colors, W. W. Wise, brick contractor, 206 j Indiana Trust building, says much '

PROPER HEAT IS HOME PROBLEM Varying Climate Causes Need for Steady System, In building anew home the question of proper heating is of paramount importance, for in this climate it is necessary to have a plant that will permit varying heat-giving qualities. The fuel that is burned has .just so many heat ttroducing units, and th" question is to burn this in a medium that, will turn these units into heat and distribute throughout th house. Sunbeam furnace, sold by Daufel Bros., 1133 Hoefgen St., provides a heating system, a ventilating system and air moistening system all In one. This furnace is constructed of furnace iron of remarkable strength and durability and will resist the severest, testa of tiring that are given them through years of constant service. The fact that this furnace gives off fresh, warm, moist, circulating air makes it the healthiest of ail heats, because it warms the air directly,, just as the sun does. A single heating plant in the basement provides ample heat for the whole bouse. The convenient wall regulator easily adjusts the heat to the desired temperature. The Sunbeam furnaces come in the pipe or pipeless typos—some houses can be better equipped witu one than with the other. Daufel Bros, also make a specialty of making all kinds of "sheet metal work to order. Average depth of the Indian Ocean is 12,880 feet and its greatest depth is 22,968 feet.

Checked gingham is used for curtaining and table cloths in harmonizing colors are used in the breakfast alcove. The porch at the rear affords ’•oom for ice chest. Built-in cabinets with ample drawer space facilitates the kitchen work. The upstairs includes two bedrooms, a living room and bath. The bedroom on the east is decorate*! In rose for the daughter of the house. The living room is finished In reed with striped upholstering and has a convenient desk. Shelves of books recessed in one corner make the room comfortably homey. Pastel shades are used in the paper and decorations of the large

depends ~n the mortar in obtaining an artistic effect. The best brick should be used in the construction of a house, Wise said. “It takos longer to lay cheaper grades of brick; they are not so attractive and the building will not. stand up as well as the better grades. "A great many homes are being built of the yellow' or tan shades of brick, as these are adaptable for certain styles of architecture. There is now a brick for every purpose. "A brick house possesses great fireresisting qualities, another item in its favor, as is the low cost of the up keep.”

ARCHITECT’S JOB IS DIFFICULT ONE Client Must Be Pleased and Cost Kept Low, The duties of an architect are multitudinous, according to Fermor S. I Cannon, 21 Virginia Ave. It is his business to arrange various ; parts of the building in proper rela- ; tion to each other and do it in such ! a way people who are to occupy it will find it useful and comfortable, j and yet keep the cost within bounds lof economy. Another thing the architect must plan is the element of beauty—every architect realizes the house must have this essential. “To obtain the best results it is necessary for the architect and the contractor to work together. The former knows how to incorporate the principles of usefulness and beauty in his plans and the contractor knows bow to execute them—and if harmony is realized when the house is completed it will credit both. In turn j the owner reaps the benefit obtained I through cooperation. “Living in a home for several I months after its completion is the acid test of the architect’s success. “It is difficult sometimes to make a client understand just why it ts impossible to use all the details he wishes in the house, for often these interfere with some working principle that must be observed. There ha.--been great improvement in the type of homes constructed here within the last few years, as the average person is trusting his plans to someone who has given years to this study and whose knowledge and experience qualify him fjr the jo^

bedroom, which with its large window space on the north and east seems much like a sunroom. 'The bathroom is finished in blue and white; the tiling enables it to be kept spotlessly clean. As was noted in the description of the exterior last week, the plan does away with any appearance of a double. The creamy buff trim against the varied colored bricks causes the house to show in relief against its setting of Shrubbery’ already on the lot is something few new homes affords; age old apple trees stand close to the bouse and furnish shade in the

PROPER PLUMBING VERY IMPORTANT ' -Value of Sanitation Set Out by E, M, Hardin, Dissatisfaction that often ;u - ises from a situation comes from the fact only one side of the case has received any emphasis—this is not true in the case of E. M. Mardin, 322(1 E. Michigan St., a licensed plumber handling plumbing supplies direct to the consumer. “My experience as a builder and designer of homes and buildings previous to the time when I made a speciality of plumbing fixtures haa given me an accurate working knowledge few plumbing people possess. I know just how plumbing should be installed to give the best satisfaction and can supervise this work so the carpenter saves time and money. “Our plumbing supplies and fixtures range from modest prices to those of fine finish and expensive ones. Another feature of our place is the showroom where we have plumbing actually installed so the customer can get a comprehensive idea of what, sort of plumbing is best suited to his own needs. “Very' few jobs are contracted for j by us that we do not personally super- j vise. We realize the necessity • of j proper Installation, for plumbing, no j matter how expensive, will not give j satisfaction If improperly put in. Good I plumbing, properly installed, is the greatest tiling in the present building age—it is the convenience of first im-1 portance.”
