IS SPLENDID
STRUCTURE

A great many favorable comments
are being heard regarding the new
building which Louis Heintz and Fred
Heintz are erecting on North Holman
street
The heighth of the building, four
stories. makes it stand out prominent
ly among the other buildings in the
business district. In fact, it makes the
business district look much larger than
1t ever did before
Thomas Ricketts,, the contractor, is
making good I>ogress with the work
and expects to have the structure ready
for occupancy within the next week or
ten days.
The walls have already been erected
and the roof is on. There yet remains
the work of finishing the interior of
the building. For three days following
its completion it will be used for the
Elks' bazaar and then it will be con-
verted into an automobile sales room
and garage.

WHAT KIND
Of HOUSE
To BUILD

The kind of a home to build foc an
investment, and with the expectation
of selling, is the home which will not
cost in excess of $4,000 and which
might be bought as low as $1,000.
Inquiry among the real estate deal
ers of the city reveals the fact that
they have a great demand at the pre-
sent time for houses that may be pur-
chased all of the way from $1,000 to
$4,000.
1t is safe to say that if there were
100 of these houses in Hammond today
that they could all be sold. Every
day some on comes into town who
does not want mansion, but who
would purchase a cottage at a reason
able figure.
Flats are a good investment, but
they are hard to sell. The only flats
that are readily marketable are the
twelve to twenty apartments which
looked upon with favor by the
large investor Small houses are in
good demand. and they can readily be
disposed of If they are up-to- date.

ME- GAMING
Of WORD
BUNGALOW

The term bungalow" says a writer
in a current magazine, provides curl
Gus example of how Americans over
work word that is euphonious and
the meaning of which, because of the
worlds comparatively recent asimila-
ton into the language, is somewhere
uncertain. One hears nearly every type
of country or suburban home called a
bungalow, provided only that the house
is somewhat informal or picturesque in
its lines. Someone has facetiously re-
marked that in the new dictionaries a
bungalow should be defined as "a
house that looks as If it had been built
for less money than it actually cost"
Authorities say a bungalow is "a
Bengalese house." but it is not the
typical natives home in India These
are of an entirely different type from
our conception of the word. The only
bungalows to be seen in India are the
rest houses" erected by the English
government along the main roads OF
travel. In these rest houses the bed
rooms are in another adjoining struc-
ture. always long low building with
the bed chambers opening upon a
straight corridor. A low. rambling
mass with wide verandas. overhanging
caves. floors of stone or concrete and
single-story construction. are the char
acteristics of the true Indian bunga-
low. There is never a second story,
never dormer windows to break to
break the long, simple rof planes that
appear to come down, particularly at
the ends of corners. nearly to the
ground.
Adapting the Type.
In adapting this type of building
to our own needs we realize at the
working against the adoption of the
true bungalow characteristics. One of
these is the element of cost; a building
with all its rooms upon the ground floor
is the most expensive kind to build.
There is more wall surface and roof
area in proportion to the inclosed space
than in a building of two or more
stories. Then, too there is a common
prejudice against having our bedrooms
on the ground level, particularly since
we do not have to contend with the
burning heat OF India. There the deep
air space inclosed in the roof above low
ceilings is necessary protection
against the sun. With US the air space
above even the second story rooms is
sufficient for protective purposes, this
being about six or eight feet high in
a bungalow that is 25 80 feet wide.
When we meet the problem of light
ing and ventllating these bedrooms,
however. the main difficulty of adapt
ing the bungalow type becomes ap-
parent. With the addition of dormer
windows the attractive simplicity Of
the roof is at once spoiled. To secure
head room in the bedrooms the whole
roof must be raised. and with this
| change the building loses at once its
similarity to the real bungalow. So
II we are to be free to call our summer
home a bungalow it should have all
| of its rooms on the ground floor.

POINTS OUT
The DEMAND

Martin Finneran, one of the pro-
motors of the West Hammond Realty
company. stated today that there seems
to be a good demand for the lots which
this company holds in West Hammond.
Chas. Atkin, the jeweler, has pur-
chased the corner of state line and
Condit streets and expects to erect a
building on this property Immediately.
In all twelve other lots have been
sold in the past two weeks. and the
demand for this property seems to
graow daily. 1t is expected that the
bulk of this subdivision will be dis
posed of before winter.

ADVICE OF BANKER
Hammond Financier Points
Out Folly Of Biting at
Unknown Investments.

Speaking of investments, leading
Hammond banker said today, Il cannot
understand why it is that so many
Hammond people will bite at wildcat
stock and fake interurban projects
when Hammond is so in need of new
homes and when a new home is such
a good investment.
Then there Is property as an in
vestment. There may be talk of hard
times. and, of course, it is hard to tell
just when they will come. but 1t is safe
to say that an investment in Ham
mond realty, providing 1T is made con-
servatively. is as good as gold.
Even if a panic should come he
continued, 'in the face of many indi-
cations to the contrary there are
enough projects in Hammond that are
certain of development some time or
another to make this one of the great
est cities in the state and this all
means an increase in crafty values.
Buy property and your money is
safe. Buy property and build a home
| for youself." is the advice that is CIV
| en- those who can afford to do so.
