Small House Simply Designed in Both Interior and Exterior Proves Pleasing Home for Average Family

No matter what may be said to the credit of big houses, or how- much one may elaborate on their beauty, no one can deny that after all it is the small house that is the most vitally interesting to the average person. A small house, built for comfort and charm, Is that belonging to Roscoe Clark, of the E. B. Knight Advertising Agency, at 6122 Carrollton Ave. This neighborhood seems to reflect a happy cordiality with its new, small, but artistic houses. Built of wide siding painted white*, the Clark’s bungalow-cottage depends on an attractive stucco-brick porch, and simple lines of construction for

STABILITY IDEA IS INCORPORATED IN MODEM(DOMES Builders Realize Homes Must Do More Than Just Merely 'Sell,’ BUILDING ON INCREASE Architects Specializing in Specific Designs and Forms of Construction, A short trip over the city will soon convince one to what tremendous pro- # portions building has grown this season. Homes, apartments, office and factory buildings are going up every ! where. No section of Indianapolis is , without building operations of some ! description. An unusual feature is seen in the type of homes going tip. There seems to be an effort to have every, one surpass the other in beauty convenience, color, design and landscaping. A drive west beyond Eagle Creek, Emerichsville and the Speedw y, east past once suburban Irvington and even to Cumberland, south far past what a few years ago meant a trip to a park in the country; Garfield Park and past University Heights; north through Broad Ripple past streets numbered in the seventies and even to Nora shows home building everywhere. There seems to be no end and one gains a slight impression of what the future Indianapolis is destined to be. All these homes are of the best workmanship and planning. They are built to stand the test of years and service, as permanent and beautiful landmarks of the progress of this “No Mean City.” In the past many homes were built “to sell” and in many cases w r ere built cheaply for that purpose. But as Is always the case, there was a reaction and companies doing business along those lines were sure to fail. Today construction companies building homes to sell when completed are putting in them everything known to modern building and are getting area sonable price for real values. Several companies in Indianapolis are specializing in homes running net less than twenty thousand. In commenting on the home building situation here Fermor S. Cannon, architect, 21 Virginia Ave., designer cf some of the cities most beautiful homes said, “People are using more intelligence today in building. Everyone is anxious to own a home and it seemed a few years ago that to have a home was all there was to it. If it was to be built It was Just ordered built. If It was bought it was looked at and if it pleased the eye it was bought. Today prospective builders and home buyers are interested in what goes into the construction of a home and how well It Is built, arranged and located. Price Is no longer the main object. The days of skimping a nail here and putting in a two by four instead of a two by six there to save a few dollars have passed. Permancy seems to be the thought. Indianapolis is building on a solid foundation. “There has been an earnest effort to Impress upon prospective home builders to consult a reliable architect first. This is being done in almost every

instance and has saved money and trouble. Every home builder has been planning and dreaming for years of conveniences and arrangement of their homes. Often we are confronted with the job of discouraging ideas our clients have that would practically ruin the finished house and be a regret forever. But as a rule our advice is taken, though we are sometimes compelled to go ahead against our better judgment. "It is an architect’s business to give everything possible to his clients consistent with the laws of good building, and often we are able to solve what apparently Is a very complicated idea in a simple, satisfactory and attractive manner. "The Herman Deupree home, which was shown on this page last week, Is one of our latest Jobs and is a monument to what can result from earnest and sensible planning. We now are not only building many houses in Indianapolis but have furnished a great number of plans for homes in other towns, which proves the home building movement is State wide. Indianapolis homes are attracting Statewide attention. Unjeea something unforeseen happens we will experience a contlnuanace of fyealthy building and expansion that Will cover an era of several years.

NEW PREPARATION DEALS QUICK END 10 HOUSE FLIES Fly-o-Cide Is Harmless to Humans, but Deathly . Poison to Pests, Anew preparation to be used in fighting house flies and mosquitoes has Just been placed on sale by Albert O. Maas, 31 Virginia Ave., dealer in janitors’ supplies and manufacturer of a line of insecticides known all over the United States. The new preparation is known as Fly-O-Cide and meets a long felt need for a non-polsonous, clean, hut effective, weapon against flies .and mosquitoes. The chemicals used are harmless to human beings, and, according to Mr. Maas, are really beneficial when inhaled In cases of catarrhal or throat afflictions. Wlntergreen, used freely in the formula for making Fly-O-Cide, gives a very pleasant odor. "We have long conducted experiments to discover something to take the place of ineffective, dangerous poisons and sticky papers,” said Mr. Maas, “and we believe Fly-O-Cide to be the last word. Heretofore other preparations have been made to draw the fly to them. Fly-O-Clde seeks the fly and kills it. Two or three sprays in large rooms fill the atmosphere for six to eight hours and not only kills every fly and mosquito within, but the pests will not enter, for to breathe air in which this preparation has been used means instant death. We iecommend and are selling Fly-O-Cide especially to restaurants and hotels over all the State. “One interesting test was made with a wire box Into which flies were lured in swarms. A tiny spray of Fly-O-Cide was sent through the box and instantly the Insects did veritable tall spins and in a few seconds all were dead.” Mr. Maas for years before opening his present business in 1912, was In the drug business amd is a registered pharmacist. Roachs Last Meal and Barium Carbonate Rat and Mouse Exterminator are also manufactured by Mr. Maas. Watch and Revolver Taken George Hazzard, 901 Fayette St., reported today a thief broke open a trunk in his house while he was away Wednesday night. A gold watch, a revolver, and a gold chain, valued at

the dining room, is the kitchen with breakfast alcove. The cabinets, drawers, and closets are so arranged as to eliminate all unnecessary steps and to give compactness. Felted linoleum covers the floor. A tiny back porch accommodates an ice chest, while the basement provides plenty of room for the heating plant and other items usually Included in a basement. On the north side of the house are two bedrooms with bath between. Both bedrooms are equipped with full mirrored doors, a roomy closet and ample window space. Dainty paper in delicate colors is used In the bedrooms.

while the furnishings and appointments are restful. Although very small, the bathroom is a study in convenience. The floor is tiled and the side wail tiled part of the way to the top. All fixtures are designed simply, are full size and well placed. A shower, medicine chest and wall lights are conveniences that have not been overlooked In planning this bathroom.

AOTO PLAYS PART IN BUILDING OF SUBURBAN DOMES Builders Construction Company Busy With Residential Projects. The automobile has helped speed the : growth of cities all over the country, and Indianapolie, having approximately one auto to every eight Inhabitants, has grown and profited as the sales of machines increased. People with a desire to leave the congested districts after working hours and live and enjoy the fresh air and beauty of the wonderful suburban dlsrtlcts surrounding Indianapolis, have been able to realize this desire. This has been made doubly easy by the network of paved roads and traction lines by which the city is served. Owen Mothershead of the Builders Construction Company Is one of the first to recognize this "live out” desire. “This company specializes in high-class homes,” said Mr. Mothershead. “and we have built them usually In the residential suburban districts. “The most notable proposition in which we have ever been interested is the erection of homes on Golden Hill for members and prospective members of the Woodstock Club. The beautiful club and Us grounds are known far and wide and many who are able to enjoy them are anxious to have a home nearby. “I cannot help but experience a little thrill when I think of starting the erection of my own home there. At present we are putting up three houses of a type of architecture that fits admirably Irfto the surroundings. Other homes will be started as soon as these are Completed. "Building conditions In general are very good,” continued Mr. Mothershead, "while we have made no special effort to get other contracts there seem to be more than there are skilled workers to fulfill. Practically the only building our company is doing outside of our Golden Hill homes is the erection of quite a number of attractive gasoline stations for the National Refining Company. “There is at present a severe shortage of skilled labor that has hampered many concerns in the city in tak'ng care of repair work especially. Home owners who headed the advice of builders last year through the press and attended to repair work before the building season opened can ne thankful! as it is nearly impossible to handle that sort of work at present. “Taking care of that sort of work in the late fall, winter and early spring when it is possible will not only help business conditions in general, but will help keep our skilled workers in Indianapolis.” COMMUNITY CHEST PLANS Preliminary plans for the coming Community Chest campaign will be discussed at a meeting of the budget committee of the chest Tuesday at 11 a. m. at the Fletcher American National Bank. Chairmen of the subcommittees to pass upon requests from affiliating agencies will be named. All requests will be filed by Aug. 16, it is believed. Homer Borst, executive secretary, said the chest will attempt to raise about the same amount as last year.
