NEWS OF BUILDING IN INDIANAPOLIS

CINDER BLOCK PROVINCVALUE Builders and architects are being, educated to the value of cinder blocks in modern construction and an increasing number of new homes and buildings in which cinder blocks have been used is proof of this fact. The Straub Cinder Block Cos., if Indianapolis has done much to make the use of cinder blocks almost an accepted axiom of modern building. The cinder block is not limited to use in large buildings, but is adapted to small buildings. In the construction of the modern bungalow of brick or stucco cinder blocks produced by this firm are being used, assuring fireproof construction and making more solid and durable the framework. Many contractors say that homes may be made more durable and fire-safe by the use of masonry in-, stead of veneering' over wood frames. Cinder blocks come to the fore by making buildings more insulated to the heat and cold and eliminating dampness. With the use of cinder blacks the “nailability” is greater than masonry, for the wood-trim may ke sawed to fit and nailed directly to the cinder blocks just the same as to timber. In fact, tests have shown that cinder blocks take nails better than many types of wood. Advantages of cinder blocks are light weight, strength, high structural efficiency, fire-resistance, time-proof, insulation, damp-proof; sound insulation; nailability, plas-> tering surface and economy.

Schoen Home Appeals to Heart of Every Woman

m a. ' \ A. -p; mm

Perfection of detail and charm of design make the new residence at 5331 Washington Blvd. a house over which women exclaim with delight. Robert M. Schoen was the architect, but Mrs. Effie Morgan, who is the other half of the Schoen-Mor-gan Company, had a large share in the planning, with the result that a dozen features, at least, that win the feminine heart. Not the least of these are the light fixtures from Goldstein Brothers, artistically planned to harmonize with the room. In the living room, at each side of the fireplace, there are torche fixtures tipped with amber bulbs, and each bulb is shielded by a filigree bronze disk, through which the light shows, and, at the same time, is reflected upon the cream stippled paneiled walls of the room. This type of fixture has been used all over the living room. In the hall, tucked away in two recessed niches on the stairs, are lantern-type lights of bronze. Lights in the bedroom are in wrought iron in polychrome finish, the predominating color being that used on the stippled walls, while in the breakfast room there is a drop light decorated with a painted par-

TITLES MUST BE INSURED “Many people in Indianapolis rapidly are becoming educated to the point where they refuse to accept title to real estate or loan money on a mortgage without a title insurance policy,” said J. E. Morrison, director of sales of the title insurance department of the Union Title Company. “People in great cities and in communities adjoining the same, knowing as they do the security that title insurance affords them, would no more think of being without a title insurance policy on their real estate than they would of being without a fire insurance policy or. the buildings on their property. “Title insurance means ready real estate sales, quick assets for loans, absolutely secure possession and peace of mind to the property owner. Many of the largest life insurance companies in the world are now using title policies on all their loans in communities where such insurance is obtainable. “Air- effective effort is now being made by the Union Title Company to inform the public of the merits of this protection, and as soon as it learns what the special investigators of the leadng insurance companies have already learned, title insurance will become as popular as life or fire insurance.”
