are in the state many thousands of these
houses In a condition really unfit for habi-
tation and too good to pull down. Were no
alternative at hand the remedy would in
volve their demolition and new construction
from other material at an enormous ag-
gregate expense.
Happily, through a course of evolution
which brought a supply of cheap cement
and a suitable form of metal lath, IL is
now possible to cover the exteriors of
frame houses with cement mortar in such
a way as TO greatly improve their ap-
pearance. increase their comfort, both in
winter and summer. and so long as a tight
roof is maintained. extend their life in
definitely. The cost will not be great and
the annual saving in fuel, paint and repairs
it is said will be equal to from 10 to 20 per
cent on the money invested.
The cement sidewalk affords a demon
stration of the durability of the material
under hard usage and climatic exposures
and the contractors for that work could
easily execute the new undertaking.. In aid
OF the movement is the fact that the "stuc-
coed house." as It is frequently called, is
decidedly the fashion and when the cover

No story of the settlement of Nebraska
would be complete without a testimonial
to the useful part played by the frame
house as q cheap and for the period, an
efficient shelter for man and beast, but
the time has come for its disappearance,
ut least from sight. The pioneers were
compelled TO live in log cabins, sod houses
and dug-outs because there were no means
of obtaining a supply Of lumber. but later

This unseasoned wood was freely used In
building houses, which for several years
were fairly comfortable, but the hot winds
OF the summers. combined with a dry atmo-
sphere caused shrinkage and numerous
cracks, enabling the wintry blasts to pene-

Solving the Home Building Problem
Arthur c. cuausen.A Architect

For several Sundays answers will BIO
given in this department to questions of
general interest to home builders
Q~uestion-If a detailed description of
how to plan a stairway Is Of general inter-
est to your readers. can you give some ad-
vice on the proper designing of this diff
cult feature?
Answer-one OF the important things to
consider in the planning OF n home is the
proper location and plan of the main stair
way. There are a great many ways in
which this prominent feature that is the
first to greet you as you enter the home,
can be designed. and It is to be regretted
that there are more failures in the build
ing of stairways, from the standpoint Of
convenience and beauty. than there is In
any other part of the house. One of the
principal defects encountered in the build
ing of a stairway is In trying to get II into
too small a space. II matters little whether
a house costs 5000 or $4,000, the stairway
takes up about the same amount of room.
1t requires as many steps to ascend the
second floor, and there is very little diff
ference in the width between the stairwavs
W ih'NI'h'ANN oAh NNRNlioANN piilt i'

lures within the home that lends it charac-
ter-the other being the fireplace. and as

important that the main stairway in the
reception hall should he we'll designed.
The more &C. keeps TO a simple design
In the construction of the stairway, the
easier the problem. TIL defect often
comes in trying to make It appear too
elaborate. Square. simple. newell posts and
plain belusters about an inch and a quar-
ter square. with the corners rounded, are
much to be preferred to the huge creations
OF the mill often turned out as ornamental

balusters, one so often sees. To say moth
ing of the appearance. they are very hard

OF each baluster, the same as one would
dust any piece of furniture.
1t is always best to have at least one
landing In a stairway, for a continuous run
from floor to floor without a landing be-
tween on which to pause and rest. makes
the ascent too tiresome, especially for the
older members of the houehold. 1t is also
quite important that the rise OF each step
should not be too great. one-quarter of
an inch in the difference of the height of
steps makes a wonderful difference in the
ease of ascending a stairs. The rise OF
each step should be as near seven and
one-quarter inches as possible. A good
width for each tread is eleven inches, while
twelve inches makes a splendid tread where
the space can be taken.
The matter of hand rail should also re-
ceive serious consideration. No stair:
should be built without a hand rail ex.
tending its full length. Many a slip and
fall by children or convalescent invalidi
has been saved from serious consequences
through having a han rail handy for i'm

stairs and the attic stairs should, when
possible, follow the same general rules
that apply to the main stairway. Cellar
stairs are often made uncomfortably steep
when there is no reason for 1t. Because
ones guests do not climb up and down the
cellar stairs is no reason for not giving
careful attention to a correct proportion
of tread and riser. Many steps are taken
up and down the cellar stairs each day
and the ascent should be made comfortable
QUESTIONABLE there any set rules in re-
gard to the location of doors?
Answer-In locating a door in any par
tition, one should always consider the fact
that the door must swing open and not
place the door in a position that when
swung open it would spoil a good wall
surface which could be used for the piano,
davenport, bed, bureau or other wall fur
niture. Wall lights should never be placed
where a door will strike them in opening If
swung clear back. The front door, or in
fact all outside doors, should have a wall
space against which to stand when open.
A very common mistake in the planning of
the entrance hall is to so locate the front
door than when 1t stands open, 1t stands
across the opening to the parlor, or as is
sometimes the case, ii laps over a window.
Little mistakes like these, which are very
annoying. could have been easily rem
edied had the plans been studied more care
fully. Bedroom doors should never be
made less than two feet eight inches wide,
for many bureaus are too wide to pass
through a smaller opening. Never place
fancy grill work in a large opening to the
parlor. 1t is considered poor taste. never

President Roberts met the Freshman
class Immediately after chapel Tues
day morning and made plain to them
his ideas on hazing. He informed them

told them that they must conduct
themselves like men and do nothing
to cause any feeling among the Soph-
onIores. He urged them to help him
by refraining from all hazing during
the coming year. The class took no
action on the matter, but it is expect
ed that a meeting will be called in the
near future and the matter will be con-
Sidered. 1t is an accepted fact that the
class respects the wishes of the presi-
dent and the college in this matter
large number of the class have ex-
pressed their personal opinions and the
vote will be unanimous. for the COM
plete end of hazing in Colby.
Secret practice will be followed by
the football team for the remainder
at work and will be in first-class con.
dition for the game Saturday. Colby
came out of the Bates game in good
shape and every man is doing his best.
Coach McDevitt is determined that his
men shall lie in condition Saturday to
meet Bowdoin in what is considered by
many to be the decisive game of the
championship series. The game viii:
he the best of the season and will draw
large crowds from all sections of the
State.
The meetings of the two Christian
associations of the college were hello
last evening with a good attendance
and interesting talks by the leaders.
