The steamer Adella Shores. up.

known that the boat went to pieces.
The Shores was owned by Cleve-

was 1875 feet long with 81 foot
beam. The boat carried crew of
thirteen men, besides a number of
passengers, and all of these are
thought to have been lost when the
boat went down. The recent storm

Note-For several Sundays questions on
home building will be answered in these
columns.
Omaha daily bee., 1909-06-20

SOtuiAiAl1
ouestion-would you advise going to the
expense OF building a brick house for a
moderate sized home? II saves painting,
but isn't the original cost very high3
Answer-when one comes to compare the
actual difference in cost between a brick
walled house with the old style Of frame
construction, 1t is surprising what little
difference OF cost exists between them and
when one comes to consider the saving Of
repairs, the feeling of security, the beauty
gained. and durability OF a brick house,
to say nothing OF the saving in heat and
insurance, one should stop and think twice
before building q frame house at the pres
ent time.
Most houses nowadays are built on
thrlftless principles Of economy. The pros
pective home builder loses sight Of the
fact that for a slight increase in cost and
more care in construction. the life Of a
house can be greatly prolonged and that
the saving in repairs alone will more than
offset the additional expense. A brick
house viii greatly increase the value OF the
property on which IT stands and the prop
erty around it. To build a brick house, is
to build q house which your children and
tneir children can enjoy. Fire proof, d
thing of beauty to them as It will be to
you, to say nothing of the added security,
the appearance of substantially and ready
salableness. The additional cost is nomtnal.
Q~uestion-Piease give some detailed in
structions as to doors, how many hinges
for each. the best size. etc.
Answer-For sliding doors, use door
hangers that Sre held to the tracks and
can not jump off. Use three strong hinges
on outside door, and two hinges for in
terror doors. Have your hardware IN har-
mony with finish and design Of entrance,
and other doors and windows Cylinder
locks are the best. veneered doors are
better than solid doors II made right and
a better grain OF wood can not be obtained.
Make side and top styles to panel doors
five inches: bottom rail the height of base
board: muntlns between panels not less
than three and a half inches. In wide doors
having considerable glass. top and side
styles should be six inches for strength.
Thickness fof vensered doors. two and y
quarter inches, solid doors inch ana three
quarters thick Provide pantry doors with
ball bearing swinging hinges and metal
push plates on both sides. 1t is preferable
TO make the pantry doors an inch thick.
In the average house. the best width for
front doors is three feet to three feet six
tnchssi for interior doors two feet six
inches TO three rect. Keep castings at the
top OF doors on a line with top window
castings, Usual height for interior doors is
seven feet, but can vary. All doors on
one floor, however, should be made the
same height. Bed room and closet doors
are sometimes two feet six inches by six
feet SIX inches. Height of entrance door
varies with the design, but It is best when
possible, TO make them the same height as
the interior doors.

Solving the Home Building Problem
Arthur O. Causs. Architect

Answer-The answer to the preceding
question will answer your question in part.
There is as much difference in plans as
there is in dress goods. You can get
calico or silk according to you taste and
willingness to pay a reasonable price for
a good article. II you needed the services
Of a lawyer it would pay you to engage
one that would win your case. II you
needed the services of a doctor you would
try to get one that would make you we'll.
So 1t is in every profession. II you need
an architect 1t would pay to get a capable,
enthusiastic man that would design for
you a home In an artistic but at the sans
time an economical manner. II you car

Answer-Dormers in a group are some
times given considerable prominence. This
is especially true Of that type of houses
which rave a long slope of roof carried
continuously over the porch. This form of
roof construction gives a cottage appear
ance to the home, does not interfere with
the vertical walls of the second story and
gives a splendid opportunity for a dormer
effect. Groups Of dormers look well on
the cottage typo Of house. For dormers
extending over the porch. their exact 10
cation can be found as follows: This also
pertains to most dormers Having decided
on the pitch of the roof, the dormer should
be placed just where the window sill will
be thirty inches Tor less IL desired from
the floor inside inc three inches from the
rooS at front Of dormer outside. Dormers
are grouped In many way often using
three dormeFs In a row and occasionally
we see two dormers of similar design
placed some distance apart and the space
between filled in with a supplementary
dormer made by extending the face OF the
dormers across, filling up the gap between
placing several windows in II and putting
a penthouse roof on the middle part, thus
making IT practically all one dormer. A
penthouse roof is the same as a shed roof;
one slant from front to rear. Hip or gable
windows in a row should always rave the
same pitch roof. When there are three in
dependent dormers in a row. the middls
one should be a trile larger than the
other two. unless they are far apart. II
II is made the same size in reality 1t will
look smaller to the eye.
ouestion-Why is it that architects
prices vary so?

On the witness stand Green admit

He said Smith had the booze in

Biloxi Commercial Club Latest to

The campaign to secure the enact

session eXempting from taxation all
money loaned at six per cent or less
is attracting widespread attention,
and is being given an enthusiastic
backing, especially by the commercial

been stifled in the committee rooms.
