House ‘Sent’
To College By Owner
Tennessee Home Planned By Vanderbilt University Class.
NEW YORK, June 10.—(NEA)— Set down on an old plantation in Tennessee is the first house that ever went to college. Owned by Mrs. Louise Burr Jacobs, it matriculated at George Peabody College for Teachers, a graduate school affiliated with Vanderbilt University, last year, and has just been graduated, a perfect picture of the Old South. Never before was a house built as this one, and it is comfortable and convenient—as modern as this morning’s newspaper. Mrs. Jacobs has been for years an enthusiast on the subjects of the Old Southern home and Tennessee architecture. Two years ago -ehe enrolled as a special student in a home-planning course. During a Sunday afterncon pienic at which she entertained a class of 26 students on the wooded land of her Harpeth River estate, 13 miles from Nashville, she conceived the idea of turning the construction of her home over to the class in homeplanning. : “We've talked theory,” she said, “but here’s a chance to put our knowledge into real action. I'll sit only as a member of the class until the time comes when. a decision is made with which I don't agree. Then I'll speak up, because after all, I have to live in the house. But I'll be open-minded, and with the combined judgment of the class, I think we can make this the perfect Tennessee home.” So the class went to work. The students did the surveying. Drawings and blueprints were drawn up, discussed and voted upon. Materials were studied, lumber yards were visited, bids were collected and contracts let—all after discussions by the entire class on every point.
Took Fireplace Research
From the asphalt shingle roof, tinted a beautiful green to blend with the foliage that shelters the
‘| home, down to the sturdy stone
foundation, no piece of material that definitely was not the best went into this unique ‘‘thesis” of stone and lumber. Daily, there were conferences with contractor and foremen as the Southern pine exterior, stained to bring out the greens, yellows and browns of the landscape, took shape. Then came a problem. “I want a real old double construction Southern fireplace,” said Mrs. Jacobs one morning. Such a fireplace was used for cooking outside as well as inside. In the summer especially, when the old fashioned Southern barbeques were all the rage, it was necessary to have come place outside to cook, because it was too hot to do it inside. The search started. But in all the countryside, not a single such relic of the slave days could be
came the material. the only ‘double construction fireplace df authentic lines in Tennessee. The inside of the house is a dglightful study in modernism and antiquity. There is a huge studio living room, in the front (no rooms over it, the ceiling goes right up to the roof). The back is a two-story affair, with dining room and kitchen below, and bedrooms and bath upstairs. :
Made Rugs Herself
It is furnished with old Southern antiques with the exception of .the bathrooms and kitchen. Beautiful hooked rugs, made by Mrs. Jacobs herself, are used throughout the whole house. The walls are light nut: brown. Dark, unfinished wood ceilings are being left to age, and in a few years will take on a light brown. The kitchen is entirely electric, with built-in cabinets. There are two baths, one upstairs and one down, which are also completely modern. There are no ceiling or wall fixtures. The whole house is wired for separate fixtures operated by switches on the wall, rather than on the lamps.

Methodist Hospital Babies to Be Listed

By MARJORIE BINFORD WOODS
Methodist Hospital White Cross Guild officers are in a quandary. They frankly don’t know the answer to this vital question: “Who was the first baby born in the Methodist Hospital?”
The question was occasioned by the establishment of a newly decorated “Hall of Fame” or baby board, by the guild’s social service department. It has been installed in the waiting room on the maternity floor and on it are to be inscribed. the names of babies born in the hospital. Since grown-up “babies,” as well as newly born babies, can have their names placed there, the question is —who will have the distinction of being first on the list?
Two Contend for First
There are two contenders, it seems. One lives in Indianapolis. The other is a foreign missionary, whose whereabouts are unknown, but Dr. G. B. Jackson, and other hospital staff members recall that ’'way back in 1906 or 1907, when the hospital was new, the woman missionary came to Indianapolis so that her baby might be the first to be born in the hospital. Hospital records had not been established at that time. Memory is the only evidence hospital authorities have. -
Claims Local Youth First
Mrs. John E. Rehm, 2011 N. New
Jersey St. is of the firm conviction that her son, John E. Rehm Jr. born Aug. 7, 1908, had the distinction of being the first child to arrive at the Methodist Hospital. So the question remains unsolved to date. Until some enterprising person delves into the Indianapolis Health Board birth records of the

Real Life
early 1900's for proof, guild members will continue to scratch their heads. One local mother has placed the name of her 19-year-old son on the “Hall of Fame” list. The name of Byron Lee Baker, 2-weeks-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Carl L. Baker, 504 W. Drive, Woodruff Place, is one of the most recent additions to the board.

pital by the White Cross Guild. Her two-weeks-old son, Byron Lee, is to be among the first to be listed.
Charles T. Coy, department chairman, announced. : The guild’s next step is to provide the waiting room, where the board hangs, with entertainment facilities for nervous * fathers and | anxious grandfathers. “We need magazines that can be picked up and put down frequently,” Mrs. Coy said. “Prospective fathers waiting for news are in no mood for concentration on heavy literature.”
