Radford, No. 1K27 Prairie avenue, Chicago, HL, and only enclose three-cent stamp Cor reply. ,ea-. 4 IK: 4/ » -*■ ■■■ *~in the era of home building that is here there will be, more than ever, qjuch individuality shown in the design accepted, because those who are building homes now have the advantage of many different styles of jjrchltecture §nd hgme jjesigns that have proven best through 35?. The home builder usually builds but once, In a lifetime and when he builds be erects the type of home that meets his needs, suits his ideas of exterior Jpbearance and Is arranged to his taste’. t - - , Accompanying this article is shown the exterior view and floor plan of an exceptionally attractive brick house, with a garage of the same style of architecture. This house will appeal Immediately to the automobile owner, while the Interior arrangement will challenge the attention of every housekeeper. There are thousands of home builders to whom brick houses have an especial appeal. Brick is the oldest of building materials, having been used, in some form or other, thousands of years before civilisation began. This may be the reason for the preference, but there is no denying that brick homes are attractive and have a very substantial air. The design shown herewith is of the bungalow type of a story and a half house. The exterior wall in the gables

18 covered with stucco, which adds to Its appearance. The graceful lines of both the house and garage, the living porch projection of the house, with an entrance on either side; the brick porch pillars, and the window projections combine to make this house and garage of extraordinary exterior beauty. It is the Interior arrangement, however, that the feminine members of the family will examine with interest. The house contains eight rooms, inCludlng the living porch and bath. It it set on concrete foundations and has a cement basement under the whole structure, including the living porch. The dimensions of the house are 81 feet 10 Inches by 39 feet 10 Inches,

with the living porch projecting 10 feet. The living porch is 18 feet by 8 feet 6 inches, which is a good-sized room. The entrances on both sides lead into the living porch, which is connected with the living room by double glass doors. The entrance to the right on the automobile drive is intended as a convenience for motorists, while the other entrance is at the end off a sidewalk and is for pedestrians. The living room Is 18 feet by 13 feet. On the Interior end wall is the place, with bookcases on either side. At the other end is a set of three windows, In a bay. The living room Is •omMeted with K large dining room.

13 by 11 feet, by a colonnade, which extends nearly across the side of the room, making them practically one large room. Back of the dining room is the kitchen, 18 by 10 feet, the side entrance near the garage and the basement stairway. On the other side are two bedrooms, 11 feet 6 inches by 13 feet, with the- bathroom between. A hall leading off the dining room connects the two bedrooms and bath. Out of thia same han are the stairs leading to the three rooms of the second floor. Upstairs are two large bedrooms sod a sewing room. The bedroom to the right of the building is 18 feet 6 inches by 11 feet, and the one to the left is 12 by 11 feet. The sewing room is in the rear gable, 13 feet by 9 feet. All three rooms and a toilet open off a center hall. There are numerous little features of this house that will please the housekeeper. It will be noted that there is an abundance of closets —four downstairs and three upstairs. It also

will be seen that built into the living and dining room and kitchen are many features that will iflake the work of caring for the home more easy. There is a built-in buffet in the dining room, while the worktable, shelves and pantry in the kitchen are so arranged as to save steps. In considering the erection of a home this year the prospective builder will closely study many home designs. What will suit one will not suit another. But for the person who wants a rather large modern brick house of extraordinary architectural beauty this design will be suited.

The cost of building now is higher than it was before the war. This is because the cost of producing the materials and of the labor that goes into the building is higher. But the percentage of increase in the cost of building is nowhere near that of other necessities. Prices of materials have been stabilized for the year—there is the positive assurance that they will not be higher, neither will they be lower. And every Indication is that they will go higher in 1920. Thus does the prospective home builder have the assurance that it will cost no more to build now than a year or a few years from now, while by building at once he will have the use of his home and will save just that much rent. Owning a home and living in it, however, has many advantages over renting. When a home is paid for it is a great asset in a financial way. The family that lives in their own home have many advantages in a social way. And there is the satisfaction of having a home planned as you want it and of the size you want; decorated to suit your taste —in fact, a home of your own.

London Is a-Jazz.

Jazz halls are springing up like mushrooms all over London. For popularity they rival the movies. Women who have an hour to spare while on a shopping trip or between tea and dinner engagements, now pass the time pleasantly jazzing. A syndicate of American business men is snapping up every available 'building. It is puzzling to know how decorators, electricians and bands are requisitioned so quickly. Buildings which a few days ago stood drearily empty and sadly out of repair, today are rose painted, pink shaded halls filled with laughing dancers. The jazz germ is as rampant as was the “flu” bug some months ago.

Records by the Ton.

Records of the selective service now in the hands of the adjutant general of the army at Washington, if stacked end to end, would .make a line of filing cases seven miles long, four feet high and 14 inches wide. Twenty acres of floor space will be required to house the papers, officials say, and a force of between 4,000 and 5,000 will be necessary to sort, file and index them.

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

The Hara and Easter.

The Egyptian “un” meant not only -hare" and “open." but •‘period,” and for this reason the hare became the type of periodicity, both human and lunar, and the character of opener was associated with the opening of the new year at Easter, as well as with the beginning of the new life In the youth and maiden. Hence the hare became connected in the popular mind with the paschal eggs, broken to signify the opening of the year, nature's year, when the buds burst and the creatures of forest and air all mate. The hare was also one of the forty-eight nnricnt constellations of Ptolemy, situated in the southern hemisphere. And again, is one of the figures of the Chinese zodiac. The hare myth penetrated to England, and it Is written: “In W«fr wlckshlre, at Coleshill, if the young men of the parish can catch a hare and bring it to the parson before 10 o’clock in the morning of Easter Monday (the moonday), he Is bound to give them a cnlFs head, 100 eggs and a groat, the calf's head being probably a survival of the worship of Baal or the sun as the golden calf.”

Sought President Johnson's Life.

On the eveqfng of February 10, 1800, an insane woman, armed, sought to see President Johnson. The woman said, “I am the arm of Him who sent me; war Is this day declared and I have been delegated by God Almighty 0 kill the president of the United Stares." Under her shawl was found a fully loaded double-barreled plstoL It appeared that she had purchased a house In Washington on a tax sale in order to provide a home far her parents, whom she brought from Ireland. That morning the original owner had appeared and demanded possession, which unbalanced her mind with •‘the result of her visit to the White House.

He Was Making That Ball.

Charlie was just old enough to begin to take an interest in games at school, and one evening he was busily engaged In making and covering a yarn ball when his grown-up sister ventured to offer some suggestions In Its construction. Looking up from his work h'e said with the most profound seriousness: “Sis, I don’t want to be told ’bout rankin' this ball, ’cause I’m makln’ it in my own image.”

Properly Classified.

Our neighbor’s little girl came over to tell me about her two aunts who have been visiting them. “I think,” she said, "my two aunts are the differentest persons in the world. Aunt Carrie is the most agreeing pers<A and Aunt Sarah is the most disagreeing person.”—Chicago Tribune.

If you have anything to spare that you think someone might use, please leave It at the local market place at Ed Herath’s gasoline station and thus lend a helping hand to your neighbors.—Advt.
