1. The living room is at once comfortable and beautiful.

Distinctively different is the newly constructed house of Mr. and Mrs. Frank J. boulevard. Low. rambling lines of the exterior are indeed very interesting especially when contrasted with the ordinary square-plan house. The house Is constructed of dark colored brick with a distinct blue tinge standing out in relief against the more subdueti reds and browns: cream trim is used effectively. A cement drive leads from the street past the south side of the bouse to a double garage at the rear and in direct connection with the house. A deep green awning shades the patio porch with red blocked cement floor. Gable windows add to the architectural beauty of the house while artistic landscaping affords a delightful setting.

BUY GOOD LUMBER IN FIRST PUCE; COSTNOGREATER Indianapolis Lumber Company Official Advises Wood for Home Purposes. Whether or not you build with good lumber, you will pay the price of good lumber Is a Ifact that has been proved over and over until the builder of today realizing this buys first quality of lumber In the beginning, thereby letting the first cost be the large cost—while if he had bought an inferior quality of lumber his first cost would have been increased by the repair and upkeep coat until within a very short time his house, still an inferior Job, always the source of dissatisfaction, would have cost as much as if he had built of first quality lumber in the first place. Realizing that few people outside of the lumber business really know the differences in the standard grades of lumber or how to compute the footage of the same, the lumber company from which he is buying must protect him and see that he gets just what he ordered. The Lumber Merchants Credit and Inspection Bureau Is doing considerable work along this line and the companies under this bureau give the customer in absolute guarantee that the lumber purchased of them is of the count and grade purchased. According to Ross Hill, Jr., of the Indianapolis Lumber Company, wood not only meets all structural and durability requirements for building, but offers many advantages as well. One of the largest costs in building is the labor, and because of the simplicity of construction a house con-, structed ot wood is built in much lesii time than that constructed of anything else, and for this reason the labor bill Is correspondingly less. Then, too, wood Is a non-conductor of heat, Is free from dampness and warmer In winter and cooler In summer. Another great thing in the favor of wood as a building material Is that a building of wood can easily be remodeled, and with the addition of new paint will not be different in appearance from the rest of the house—this cannot be said of any other kind of construction material. furnaces and Is also prepared to take care of the repair work on all makes of steel or cast furnaces. He urges all heating plant owners to be sure their furnace pipes are well covered as It has been scientifically proved that properly covered pipes save at least one-tenth of the furnace cost In that, they will conserve that much more heat, tMIMI

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

2. The exterior of the Lee residence shows the long, low, rambling

From the porch one enters a most delightful sun room which stretches across the front of the house. This room is cheerfully furnished with frosted wicker upholstered in mulberry colored tapestry. The whole atmosphere of the room seems to be that of homeliness. French doors open from the sun room into the living room, which is a large long room with a fireplace in the south end. From the northwest corner of the room a single door leads to a den, quietly furnished. As one enters the living room attention is arrested by the beauty of the solid mahogany wood work, the ceiling beveling with a narrow moulding a few inches Inside this. The great solid doors, the mantel all are of the same lustrous wood, the richness of which is unparalled. Rose taupe overstuffed mohair Is

Ragsdale Lumber Cos. Has Brisk Business. It is of vital consideration when one is planning to build a home that he should see that only the very best grade of mill work Is used. Much depends on the interior finish, the window and door frames, the cabinet wrk, etc., when the last satisfaction of the house is considered. No matter how well planned the house may be, nor how much care was given to the selection of the siding, flooring. etc., if the details mentioned above have not been properly conridered the house will be a very mediocre Job at best. Specializing in built-in cabinets, window and door frames, and other interior finishings, the Ragsdale I.umber Company, 2132-64 N. Sherman drive. Is very well equipped to take care of large orders ,since they have moved into their new and much enlarged quarters. New machinery necessary to Interior finishing has teen installed and this machinery now occupies two floors in the main plant. The yard space Is sufficient for storing at least a million feet of lumber. Charles W. Ragsdale, president of the company, reports a very brisk business. It Is the policy of the company to guarantee all Its products and work to be entirely satisfactory to the customer. “Our work is turned out so that it will be satisfactory as long as the house stands. Our customers know that we give individual attention to all orders and nothing but the highest grade of material and workmanship leaves our plant.

Silva net with heavy silver fringe is used for the curtains, with overdrapes of gold thread tapestry In colors that blend with the other furnishings of the room. Tapestry paper is used in the dining room and these attractive walls with the harmoniously blended colors of a Kirmanshaw rug furnish a very delightful setting for the mahogany furniture that is used In this room. The kitchen is very well arranged and its shelves and cabinets occupying the whole east side of the *room furnish ample storage room for all kitchen needs.

GUESSWORK ABOUT NOT AIR BEATING IS UNNECESSARY Century Heating Company Wil! Furnish Scientific Explanations, Grea< strides have been made In hot air heating during the past two or three years. Previous to that time two main objections had been raised to this manner of heating, one was that the heat was not uniform —in oertain places the house was too cold for comfort, while in other parts the house was entirely too hot—the second objection was that hot air heat was too dirty—there was too much smoke and soot. Proper Installation. Various experimental stations over the country at Colleges where professors have maintained a bureau of sclPAINT SUGGESTED AS INVESTMENT J, H, Berger Extends LongTerm Credit to Customers, There is a great deal of property for sale in various parts of Indianapolis and much depends upon the appearance of the property as to how soon the transfer wijl be made and how satisfactory the price will be. There is nothing that improves the apearance of property at as small a cost as paint does, and for this reason the mttn who owns property should not neglect this very important detail. J. H. Berger, 17 S. Senate Ave., uses the very best of materials on his jobs and also guarantees the workmanship to be of the very highest order: he has a payment plan whereby a customer may have his house painted and take as long as ten months to pay for it. This is a great boon to the man who realizes that the depreciation of his property is mounting higher and higher and who may not have ready cash. He can stop depreciation of his property and enhance its actual value and greatly increase Its turnover possibility and pay for the painting over a period of time. “Our painting is guaranteed, our satisfied customers are our best boosters. We feel that our payment plan has been a great help to many for they have had the benefit of the work anfl have not had to pay interest on the Ast of the account.”

4. The sun parlor affords comfort and cheer throughout the entire season.

which extends from the living room I to the rear of the house, there are two bedrooms and a bath. The bedroom just off the living room is lovely with the rose drapes and lamps con- ; trast the dignity of the rich mahog- ! any. The bathroom and other bedroom are commodious in size and invitingly ' comfortable in furnishings and equipment. There is nothing stereotyped- in the whole house, either in furnishing or in planning—the house reflects the personality of Mrs. Lee. who really planned it. abetted by suggestions from an architect incorporating her plana into the construction. The delightful informality that one feels because of the rather rambling plan of the house is altogether hospitable and pleasing.

entitle research in connection with the problems of heating and ventilating have proved that these two objections to hot air heat may be entirely overcome with the proper Installation of a furnace. The day when It was all right for a furnace man to tell you that your house would take a furnace with a ten-inch pipe or a twelve-inch pipe Just because he "thought" it needed that has passed. Today there Is no excuse for guessing as to the needed capacity of a furnace, for it can be accurately determined Just how much heat is needed to heat the house, how big a furnace It wiy take to carry this heat, so that a comparatively large volume rather than small volume of hot air will be thrown out, and In addition it can be accurately determined exactly how much of this heat will be lost through contact with colder air through wall radiation, etc. Advice Freely Given All that any one who is contemplating the Installation of a furnace in his home has to do in order to determine Just how that furnace should he installed is to write to A. W. Williams, secretary of the Warm Air Heat and Ventilating Association, Columbus, Ohio, and a national code for the installation of warm air furnaces will bo sent. The Century Heating Company, 3236 W. Tenth St., will send out a series of workable tables that will simplify the standard code regulating the installation of warm air furnaces upon request. TWO SUSPECTS ARRESTED Mem Charged With Stealing Trunk Held in Cincinnati.
