so placed that floor joists in even

! have been saved by a little fore
thought.
1t is always economical in the use
of materials, and is also good con-
struction, to have the partitions and
Orders in the basement exactly under
the bearing partitions of the first
story, and where possible the bearing
partitions on the second floor should
line up exactly with those OF the first
story. There is nothing like having
good backbone in a house in the way
of bearing partitions by having them
lined up straight from foundation TO
roof.
The accompanying design serves as
a good illustration Of these principles.
Although an extremely sensible and
convenient house it's exterior appear
ance is distinctive and artistic. 1t
couldn't be called fussy, yet there IS
enough of ornamentation to escape
monotony The proportions are good
and the material used-cement plas-
fer on metal lath-is the most popular
at the present time for high-grade
residence work.
The interior is arranged very sim

of roomy conveniences. There Is
very large living room, OF the kind SO
popular in modern houses. The din
ing room Is of good size and IS very
conveniently placed with reference 10

Replaces Iron and Wood in Construo
ton of Large Variety of Little
ChiIdren's Playthings.

Steel Is used nowadays not only in
the frames of tall buildings, in rail.
road tracks, in bridges and such large
ways, but also in the manufacture Of
toys. Many toys that were once made
of wood, of cast iron, or of tin, are
now made Of steel.
Steel toys include, for example, toy
carts and wagons stamped out of thin
sheet steel. A toy steel dump cart,
painted in bright colors and provided
with twisted wire handle is made to
retail for five cents. There are larger
toy dump carts and four wheeled toy
wagons of various sizes and sorts, in
GLIDING ice wagons, mail wagons, ex.
press wagons, milk wagons, all dec.
grated in colors, and some without and
some with horses and wagons and
horses all of steel, these larger toys
ranging up to a retail price of IS
cents
Among the steel toys are toy safes
in various styles and sizes and made
in very safelike appearance, and there
are steel toy money banks Of various
designs and toy steel furniture and
horns and flutes. In fact steel toys
are now made in large variety, not
the least interesting thing among
them being the steel toy drum, which
is made not only with its shell and
hoops of steel, but with heads also
of steel, painted to initiate sheepskin.
There is an all steel toy drum that is
retailed for as little as 10 cents.

GOOD lesson in home building may

1bo make a business of building up
ubo1n streets in the suburbs with
houses of medium size for the pur-
nooA of selling the improved property

roIuation of the remaining vacant
property in the neighborhood. These
sooi estate operators have found that

Of course, every house must be sub

This matter of distinctive appearance
is especially important where large
number Of new houses are being put
m at the same time in the same
Deighborhood; for nothing looks quite
so cheap and uninviting as a whole
line of new houses all packed in close
together and all of the same mono
tOnous appearance.
While the average home builder
does not have this exact problem to
contend with, still he should take
warning from such examples and
guard against conditions that may
amount to practically the same thing.
If he builds a house of commonplace
appearance, one that looks just like
a hundred others which have been
built, or may be built in the future,
in the neighborhood, he will find that
there is nothing to distinguish his
house from the rest. 1t will depreci-

This is a family which rose to great
power and eminence both in England
and Scotland.
The name is derived from Confines,
a town of France, near Lille. Robert
Comine, a follower of the Conqueror,
became earl of Northumberland,
when William in 1866, or Whereabouts,
was dealing out lands, manors and
titles, with lavish hand. From Rob-
ert descended William Cumine, lord
chancellor of Scotland, 1924, time OF
David l. The lord chancellor laid the
foundation of this powerful house, one
of the most powerful OF Scotland.
Before the time of Robert. there
was an abbot of Icolmkill in the sixth
century, who was called Cummine,
and in the following century another
