BUNGALDW HAS G000 FERTURES = {Design for a Convenient and Comfortable House. #S INEXPENSIVE TO BUILD Bmall but Attractive Hocme That Will Appeal to Home Builders Who Have Not a Great ul ol H‘; and only tnclose two-cent 'stamp. for Like everything else, the cost of dbuilding has gone up in the last four years, but not in such proportion as & great many other necessities. This increase in the cost of building is_re- sponsible, in a great measure for the fncrease in rents. But the main fac- tor in rental increase is the fact that there are fewer homes than families who want them. Bidding one against the other, most families have found that their landlords are in a receptive mood, and are getting all that théy «an for the houses or apartments ghey own. ; Jt is the latter fact that makes bullding a home of your own an ex- liceptionally good ‘investment at the present time. If property owners can make 10 or 15 per cent on their fnvestments, it i8 a pretty good idea to pay that extmaordinary profit to yourself. And, as it will take at least five years for the country to catch up ip its building needs, at the end of that period the man who builds a Nome will have a good start toward Dhaving It paid for before rents will come down, . Hewever, there are many familles who have not a swu sufficient to bulld n large home. In fact, few- people, egpecially those who live outside the Igrger- citigs, need ns much room as hey have been renting, A smaller 88, arranged so that the rooms are * gomfortable and the work of caring for them can be done conveniently, makes a better home for the average family. Accompanying this article is shown ap exterior, view of q five-room cot- tage af the buagalow type. From the exterior. it s pR artractive little home —the sopt. thag gives the impression af being o real home. The long slope of the roof, the porch, and the beick fireplace and pillars that sup- port the porch columns and at the end of the terrace, all combine to give the exterior an artistic appearance. The dimensions of this house are &0 by 26 feet, with an eight-foot pro- gection for the porch, which is 22|er early in 1912, when the auk was: Ly I (] eoe—— feet wide. As will be seen by the floar plan, the home contains five good rooms and bath. The interior arrange- ment is on the order of a colonlal]ter one of them should happen to dle house, the entrance being into a hall tn the center of the buflding, with ithe living room on one side and the dining room on the other. All of the rooms are of good size. ‘The living Toom is ‘at the left. - It is /12 feet 6 inches by 18 feet, and has ifour attractive casement windows {that open on the terrace. The open @replace Is at the end of the living room. At either side of the fireplace | are windows. . The dining room at the right is 12| ifeet 6 inches by 16 feet, and, being ‘s corner room, with double windows itn each wall, i a cheery place. Back /of the dining room is the kitchen, 8 igeet 9 inches by 10 feet, with a good- i gized pantry off- it. ! . At the rear of the living room is a i door that opens into a short hall i that connects the twe bedrooms, each : of .which is 10 feet 6 inches by 12 feet. . Between the bedrooms and op- “/pnsite the dining room docr 'is the bathroom. It will be noted that plenty of closet space is provided, there being a closet In the entrance hall, and one in cen- nection with each of the bedrooms. The basement extends under the le of the house and provides ade- quate space for the heating plant, fuel storage and rooms for fruits and vege- are stored in the basement. From this description it can readily Be understood that this home is a convenient and comfortable place in which to-live, and, at the same time, it is one of the least expensive of homes to build. While the house shown in the illus- tration is of standard frame construc- tion with clapboard sides, eitherbrick or stucco may be substituted without changing the character of construc- tlon. For stucco any of the patented stucco boards, or metal lath is put on with the stucco over it. Or a wall of a single brick thickness may be used on the outside. . These changes in the design can be made readily by the architect, or the contractor, if he be an experienced and capable one. Whichever method Is used it’1s well to consult an archi- tect, the contractor and the material dealer hefore the material to be used is finally decided on. These men have had long experience in building; are familiar with the costs of materials delivered to the place where the home is to be erected, and can give the best possible advice to the home builder. As was said at the beginning, it is practical economy to build and own your home. The ownership not only insures the family with a comfortable place in which to live; but the owner will. be accumulating the best asset money will purchase., But, aside from the investment standpoint, .owning a' home brings larger dividends in the:| satisfaction and comforts that go hand in hand with owning the home in which you live. Home owners are stable; they are best members of so- clety in any community, and are given both business and social opportunities that are denled to the renmter. It puys in_every way to own a home; andl the best wsy to get the home' yow really, want s to select the plans and bulld #. f ARCTIC WISITOR TO BRITMN: Little Au.l( Frequenily Driven FarIfe- land by Starms and Continued lhn- clement Weather Conditions. « The little auk;. a polar bird famillar:| to all arctic explorers, is an irregular:|| winter visitor to:the British isles from the polar regions;. chiefly arriving on\| the northern sliores;. During the se- vere winter only;. iowever, do these | birds make thein appearance’in large | numbers, being driven. from the coasts< far inland by tlie- violent storms ac--| companied by arotic- weather. In the memorable: winter of 1894-93;. when the temperature fell below zero in various parts of the country, a re-- markable invasion of these little birdss took place along tlie: morthern and! eastern shores of Britain, Another great invasion of these birds took | place during the severe wintry Wweath-- found in abundance: in: various inland! localities. The auk selects: for its nest holes. and crevices in rocks: and cliffs, into. which it creeps a long way, and there: lays its single egg: out of reach: of: its: | enemies, the arctic: floxes. The eggs: ] are of a very delicate, pale greenish-|f like blue color, faindly spotted. Like: the razorbill, guillemot and other spe- cles, the little awk has remarkably small wings, whicl are used finlike te: propel themselves rapidly under wa- ter, Xithough se small, they fly with great speed, with rapid wing-beats.
