dows, three of them being on each of the
nine-foot sides and four on the long side,
This should be connected with either the
dining room or living room by two wide
sliding glass doors. The floor should be of
tile and the walls SHOULD not be papered,
but tinted with a very rough plaster finish,
The wood work is usually something out
Of the ordinary in finish. A practical ar
rangement for the windows is to have them
slide full length down INTO pockets COM
pletely out of sight, the sape as street
car windows in large cities. Owing to the
windows being large and the sash heavy,
they should be placed on balance weights.
When these windows are entirely out Of
sight, the solarium becomes an open porch.
A very pretty treatment for the wood
work is to use of quarter sawed oak
staine a light copper green. Red oak
treated in this manner produces the best
effect. Light green willow porch furniture
should be used in the rooms in combination
with wood work of this color. A very pretty
combination is obtained by phastering the
room with rough cast cement with a little
lime in the mortar to tighten the color and
leave It unstained. Brick wood work stained
a dark mahogany looks we'll in combination
with this cement interior. The border of
the tile floor should harmonic with the
colors predominating in the room.

The sliding glass doors between the So
larium and the adjoining room should have
glass panels the fill length, the same as
French windows. These should never be
plain, but should, be either divided or art
glass, While some, simple design in loaded
glass looks we'll they could be made, very
attractive by dividing the glass into squares
with loaded bars to simulate a vine trellis.
Then In colored art glass run n leafy vine
up the outside of both glass panels, bring
Ing, them toward the center at the top with
branches laden with grapes, dropping down
for about one-third of the way from the top
Of the door. Leave the balance clear glass.
The combination of the green and brown
leaves and the purple grapes seen against
the strong light of the solarium is very
pleasing, The only object in having these
glass doors is to close the solarium off
from the adjoining room during a few days
in summer when the heat coming from this
room would be somewhat oppressive.
Like everything else in connection with
the construction of homes, solariums vary
in cost according to the size and finish.
Simple solarlums built into. one corner of
the house with two sides, to the sun, can
be had at a very little additional cost, the
question being, m~erely-can the room be
used to better advantage for other pur-
poses. When the solarium is built out
from the house, a pleasing little room
complete with wood floor, simple treatment
inside and out, can be had at an additional
cost Of about $3.50, the cost increasing from
this according to the size and finish. If
you want to plan a duplex house and have
1t appear as a private residence, provide a
porch for the first floor only and provide
on the second floor a solarium built into
one coner of the house. This will have the
appearance of being merely a sleeping porch
from the outside and will remove the tell
tale two-story balcony effect so commonly
used in the planning of duplex houses. To
still further carry out the idea or hav the
duplex appear as a private home, there
should be but one front door opening into a
large entry with private entrances branch
ing off from this. .

Our trees arc fast disappearing and we

BRICKMAKERS HAVE
FORMED ORGANIZATION
safe and Sane Building is Their SlO-
gan - Remedies for Fire
Losses Discussed.

The convention at Plttsburg Of prominent
brick manufacturers from all over the
country has left its mark on those who,
returning to their home cities and daily
tasks, cannot forget the Importance to the
nation of the action there taken to i'm
prove our communities and reduce fire
risks.
Interviews with these men make most in
teresting reading; the bald facts being Of
sufficient force to compel attention.
Government reports in the department
of geological survey. show that we cii-
zens Of the United States burn up buildings
Of almost as much value in a year as
those we construct, and that most Of
them are frame buildings, also, that, unI
fortunately, thousands Of people who never
dream of danger are burned up with them,
on very short notice.
The recorded fire loss Of 1907 was over
$215, OOO,O OO, but that was less than half
what fires cost us, because fire protec-
ton cost us nearly SOC, OC0, 900 and we paid
to the insurance companies almost SAC, 0OO,-
900 more than they paid hack for losses, a
total of $457, 600, 900 net loss.
Besides these appalling figures, more
than half the total loss by fire was not
insured and is a dead loss to the victims
and to our national prosperity.
None of these figures represent the loss
to by interference with business,
wages lost through the hundreds of thou
sands thrown out Of employment and sim
liar disturbance Of the processes of Great
ing wealth.
Still more instructive are the figures
which show that in the cities, where frame
construction is relatively scarce, the loss
on wooden buildings is SO, O00.O 600 greater
than all the losses on more solid construc-
tions, besides beins responsible for most
of the fires which spread beyond the build
ings in which they started; whereas in
smaller towns the loss on wooden buildings
is four and n half times as great as on all
others, totallns some SSS, 10000.
These established facts are enough to
interest any man in the material of the
buildings he lives and works in, and the
brickmakers say that brlck-built Europe
proves that the remedy is in building
America with BRICK instead Of wood.
They point to a comparison of equal pop
u~lations in certain cities of Europe and
America, showing that the European fire
losses are in the proportion Of 81 cents per
capita against SPA per capita in the United
States, whereas the European fire depart
ments cost little to maintain, and insurance
rates are so low as to be relatively negli-
gible.
We burn up 100000 a day-$25,0O every
hour OF every day the year around, and a
lot Of people, too, by our neglect of bricks,

was thoroughly gone over in a recent

air can be distributed Unfortunately
through every part OF tho house, but it is
neither possible, practical or desirable to
have the direct rays Of the sun flooded
through every room, especially in the sum
mer time when the sun is very hot. II is a
splendid thing, however, to have one room
devoted exclusively to the raising of plants
and the admission of the solar rays,
thereby linking fall with spring with a bit
Of indoor summer time.
There are a number Of family uses to
which the solarium can be put. It is a
splendid place for the children to play in
when the ground outside is wet with melt
ing snow or even in the summer time dur
ing rainy weather. The windows can be
opened and 1t provides an ideal play room,
partially protected from the elements. The
gentleman Of the house delights to sit in
the solarium' on Sunday to chat, smoke and
read his papers,, this being one place in the
house in which he can scatter his cigar
ashes and papers without being frowned
upon by the feminine head Of the house.
Every lady who is privileged with the use
of a sun room knows what a convenient
place It Is in which to sit and dry her hair

Sun rooms are divided into two classes.
One is sometimes called q solarium or sun
parlor, the other is a conservatory. A con-
s%eryatory, properly speaking, should have
glass not only on the sides but on the top
as we'll, and is intended to be used ex-
clusively for the raising Of plants. A
solarium is a room sometimes placed in
one corner of the house with windows on
two sides, but more often projecting from
the house with windows on three sides hav-
ing a roof over it with curtains on the
windows and only a few choice plants set
on "a or brackets in appropriate
places.

the fact that the law creating the
park required him to protect its ma
tural curiosities and wonders" and TO
retain them i'm their natural condi-
ton. Mr.. Hitchcock remained un-
shaken in his position, and no pro-
gress was made.
Nothing more was done until Mr..
Hitchcock retired and Mr.. Garfield
came into office. Then the city asked
for a rehearing, which was granted,
and in 1908 Secretary Garfield author
lied the city to proceed along certain
very carefully specified lines. The
grant authorized the city to proceed at
once to create a storage basin at Lake
Eleanor, on the northeastern border OF
the park. But SAN francisco wanted
more than this to carry out it's plans.
and consequently 1t decided to take
another tact. The city purchased
about seven hundred acres of privately
owned land within the reservation and
offered to exchange this for a larger
area of government land occupying the
site desired for the great storage res
ervoir. The offer was considered at
the last session of Congress. but the
opposition prevented any favorable
action being taken. The final onslaught
to have the offer accepted will be
made at the Congress now in ses-
sion.

Francisco to acquire rights i'm the

sources Of supply might be obtained

the national reservation Those most
hostile to the city's plans alege that

ject carries with it water power rights
OF incalculable value not to be found

ply of pure water adequate to the
citys future needs can be obtained

port of the movement which is ex-
pected to eliminate i'm a monster rally

behind the movement is that the
history of the world is moving in such
a way as TO open the door to mis-
sions, and that II the opportunity is
not seized at once no such favorable
opening may again be offered. A cam
paign of education on a national scale

ment of the Foreign Missionary Boards
of America. The movement is not
connected with any church, and is

of the objects of the campaign is to

purpose of Christianizing the world.

TO FIGHT FOR
WATER SUPPLY
San Francisco May Clash With
Government Over Immense
Water Project.
Big BOND ELECTION TODAY
Accomplishment of San Francisco's s
Plan to Get Adequate Supply May
Destroy Beauty of Projected
National Park at Sierra.

San Francisco. Cal, Jan. 14.-Not
only the city and county of San Fran
cisco but the entire nation is inter
ested in the special election here to-
day to decide upon the proposed bond
issue for the purchase of the Spring
Valley Water Company's plant and
the development of the Lake Eleanor
Tuolumne dam and connections to
bring the water from the Sierra TO
San Francisco. The proposition calls
for the issue of $45,OOO,OOO in bonds for
the Lake Eleanor -Tuolomne system
and SS5,OOO,OOO for the purchase of the
Spring Valley property.
The election is the most important
step yet taken i'm the eight years
LATHE waged by the city of San Fran
cisco To obtain an adequate supply OF
pure water and at the same tine free
Itself from the alleged extortion of
the Spr ng Valley Water comrany. a
private corporation which for years
has controlled the water supply. Dur
ing all this time a bitter hostility has
existed between the city and the
water company and every effort made
by the municipality to purchase or
otherwise obtain control of the water
company has proved futile. Recently,
however, when ii became apparent TO
everyone that the city was in earnest
in its determination to control the
water supply, the corporation was
hrOnoht 10 90
sell its plants and rights to the city
for $35.000,000. This is one of the
two propositions to be decided by to-
days election.
But still greater obstacles remain
to be overcome before the present pro-
ject for the municipal water supply
can become an accomplished fact.
San Francisco demands that its
new water supply shall be drawn from
the famous Hetch Hetchy region.
which has been set aside by the Fed
eral government as national park.
The scenic beauty of Hetch Hetchy
has been pronounced TO be greater than
that of any other section of the coun-
try, and ii was but natural, therefore,
that the proposal of the city of San
Francisco to construct dams and res
ervoirs within the park should meet
with vigorous protests. Congress was
persuaded to pass a measure author
izing the Secretary of the Interior to
grant rcvocabe rights for certain
specified purposes, among them res
ervoirs for domestic supply works, on
public reservations and lands. and the
three national parks in California
were specifically named i'm the act as
being amenable to its provisions.
Mr.. Hitchcock. then Secretary of the
Interior, declined to make the grant
on the ground that it would not be
compatible with the public interest to
do so. The city then appealed to
President Roosevelt. who. wishing to
give the city every opportunity to
make out n case. urged Secretary
Hitchcock to reconsider. In his reply
to the President the Secretary point
ed out that i'm the first place no public
necessity appeared to exist which
would call for so great surrender of
