THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 4, 1920 . - G{UNRE HOUSES LEAST EXPENSHE a'l'l!ls Design Is Attractive and _ Comfortable. 'RIGHT FOR AVERAGE FAMILY Architect Here Gives Home Bullder Greatest Amount of ‘Space for Hie Money—Rooms Conveniently ! Arranged. By WM. A. RADFORD. Mr. William A. Radford -‘nd~|vo»u':rm'l¥ll! There was'a time before elaborate ‘and comfortable porches were attach- .ed to homes that u gquare house was not particularly attractive from the exterior. Square houses were and are the least expensive to build, but by adding a wide porch they also have the attractive appearance of homes that cost a great deal more. In the accompanying design the ar- chitect has followed the idea of giving to the home builder the greatest amount of space for his money by making the house nearly squaré, but has taken away the plain effect by ad- ding the broad perch. .This house is <;.6f frame construction set on a con- ".“crete foundation. Its dimensiofs are . only 26 by 28 feet, exclusive of the “# -, porch projections. This is what is known as a “hip- - poof” house, the. overhang of the roof on the houseitself, the porch and the dormer window making its appear: . ‘ance good. But. it is the interior ar- rangement that makes this design out’ of the ordinary. Inside, every inch of space has been utilized, while all the ' conveniences that make modern homes 80 comfortable have-been included. The floor plans show seven rooms, three on the first floor and four on the 4 o AVING ROOU i First Floor Plan, wecond, and bathroom. The front en- trance door opens into one end of the itving room—the: .end -out of which leads the stairway to the second floor, The living room is large—23 feet long and 18 feet 8 inches wide—and at ome end is a large, open fireplace, the kind that on cold winter nights at- tracts every member of the family. Side by side, back of the living room, are the dining room and kitchen. The former also is a good-sized room, its dimensions being 13 feet 3 inches by 13 feet 3 inches, and has a bay win- dow with a seat. It has a double opening from the living: room, which adds- to’the appearance of spacious- ness of both rooms. The kitchen is 11 feet 8 inches by 13 feet 3 inches, and its fixtures have been arranged so as to save steps. Adjoining the kitchen 18 a good-sized pantry, and an entry way. The back porch is 5 feet € inches by 11 feet. X Upstairs are three bedrooms of good sise and a sleeping porch, at the rear corner of the house, making it more private. It has almost. continuous win- dows, which, when fitted with case- ment sashes, make it a Hght and airy place to sleep. The basement extends under all of the house proper, and provides room for the furnace or other type of heat- ing plant, the fuel supply, the laun- and fruite, - C SR “ Considéred as a ‘whole this is a most excellent design; one that the home builder will find economical to build from, and the house will be & good, attractive hal ‘It ‘may. not Riyé the trills, but it has a solld, cote- fortable and substa pearance. - In'cong r'thé Hiome d take in t is'to mfldé'r sho! e inf lot on which it i& 'to. location and his pockethook. In the first ‘place”it ‘18 not ‘good ‘business to have the lot cost all out of proportion to the house, nor the reverse. A thou- sand-dollar lot should have a house Should the lot be located in a séction of the city where the homes are elab- orate, a small plain house is out of place. And above all things the build- er should not try to build a house be- yond his means to pay. There are F | thousands of home builders who have secured their homes on' the contract plan, that is, by paying so much a month, and have- found that they weré unable to meet the payments. Judgment in this respect, us in any other, should be used. This little disscertation is not design- ed to discourage the prospective home builder. On the other hand, it is in- tended to warn prospective home builders about mistakes that some have made, and which do much to dis- courage others. A well-balanced home in the respects mentioned is an in- vestment that no one will be sorry for. The average person who builds knows little about construction meth- ods and materjals. Also he does not know how to plan the interior ar- rangement so that he will get “the most in comfort and satisfaction for his money. There are, however, in ‘every place men who do know, because 1t is “their business to know. They are the architetts, contractors and ma- terial dealers. It is economy to con- sult these men before building. Through * experience in building and by study they know many things about building that will greatly aid the pro- spective home builder. By consulting them costly mistakes may be avoided, and the new home will be just what its name implies. What it will cost to build from the design shown also may be learned by consulting these men. Building costs are dependent on the source of sup-- Second Floor Plan. ply of materials and the labor situa- tion. - By consulting any of the men mentioned, it will be an easy matter to find out what this home will cost, and then the home builder can add to or take from the design, as it suits his ability to pay. Beautiful Place Names. Robert Louls Stevenson always con- tended that the most beautiful place names in the world are those of North America. E “The names of the states and terri- tories,” he declared, “form themselves into a chorus of sweet and romanti¢ vocables: Deleware, Ohio, Indiana, Florida, Dakota, Iowa, Wyoming, Minnesota and the Carolinas. There are few poems with a nobler music to the ear; a songful, tuneful land; and if a new Homer shall arise from the western continent his verse will be enriched, his pages sing spontaneously with the names of states and cities that would strike the fancy in & busi- ness circular.” Fashion Note.

COLLEGES ASK FOR MILLIONS Nearly. 75 Institutions of Learn- " ing in the Country Now Seek Funds. { LARGEST SUM IS $25,000,000 Northwestern Wants $10,000,000 for Buildings Alone—Higher Pay for Professors Promised by All Campaign Committees. New York.—Nearly seventy-five col- leges throughout-the country are con- ducting cumpaigns for endowment funds to increase the pay of their pro- fessors and to provide new buildings and facilitiés. It is estimated that the total sought is more than $200,000,000. Five of the largest institutions In the country—Harvard, Princeton, Cor- nell, Northwestern and New York uni- versity—are engaged In campaigns, and the total sought by these five uni- versities alone is $70,700,000. North- western seeks $25,000,000. Harvard already has promises of $12,000,000, toward her desired fund of $15,250,- 000. Cornell’s goal is $10,000,000. Princeton desires $14,000,000, and New York university has set $6,450,000 as her minimum. in a campaign to be inunched late this month. Pittsburgh Wants $16,000,000. Other large sums sought by some of the smaller colleges carry the total above $100,000,000 before the first ten campaigns are enumerated. Boston university also wants $10,000,000. The University of * Pittsburgh intends to raise $16,000,000 in the next five years. Oberlin college of Ohio is to raise $5.285,000, and ten other colleges are campaigning for individual funds of $3,000.000 éach. Although Columbia university here has announced no plans for a cam- paign for funds, her president, Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, has intimated that money might be sought for the completion of the institution's building programs. Two of Columbia’s assocl- ated institutions, Barnard college and Teachers’ college, are appealing for funds. Teachers’ college seeks $3,000,- 000, $1,500,000 of which is to be used for a new library building, and the alumnae committee of Barnard asks $500,000 to complete the $1.000,000 en- dowment fund. All of the large eastern colleges have committees at work in this city, and Hunter College for Women and New York university intend to push their campaign for funds in the guer- rilla warfare way because most . of their graduates live in the city.” Hun- ter college is seeking $150,000 for an alumnae hall, and is running its cam- paign as part of the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of its foundation. Organizations of graduates of the va- rious colleges have been requested to subscribe certain quotas, and the cam- paign has been carried directly to the purse of each graduate.
