MORE DEATHS IN BROOKLYN
Infant Mortality Greater There,
Despite Population

According 20 a statement i1sued yester-
dav bv the Public Service League. az
BROOKLYN. infant mortality is greater In the
Borough Of Kings than in Manhattan This
is considered bad showing. as Brooklyns
birth rate Is one-third lower than that ot
Manhattan and its population one-ihird
less.
The Health Department report for July
shows that 304 children under I'VE years
Of age died in Brooklyn and only 2s+'in
Manhattan. The league asked WY were
there more deaths OF children IN Brooklyn
than IN Manhattan, considering the diner
ence in population and in the birth rate
The league alleged that for July. according
10 the Health Department ia babies Under
one wear OF age died in the city and that q
this number one-half died in Brooklyn.
An official Of the Health Department said
that while Manhattan had numerous phi
vate charities 10 look after poor children
Brooklyn had only a few such organiza-
tons He added that all the deaths 81 m

In the accompanying perspective

adapted to cement stucco construction
"a type of construction which is
forging its way into increasing favor
because of it's pleasing appearance
when appropriately designed, and its
comparative cheapness. This house
Is of the characteristic western bunga-

good-sized rooms are provided, besides

a convenient scheme of further adorn-
ment by the use of flower boxes and
vases. 1t forms not only the main
decorative feature Of the front of the
building, but serves the extremely
practical end of being the outdoor
living room for the family in summer
weather.
Entering the house, we find the en-
tire front portion given up to living
room 16 by II feet, opening directly
into a spacious dining-room, IL by IA
feet, the latter having large mantel
and fireplace, adding much to the
pleasing home-likeness of the interior.
Both of these rooms are nicely light
ed, and provide the accommodations
for the necessary furniture for con-
venient housekeeping. The broad
space in the dining-room near the
kitchen door is just the location which
a built-1n sideboard or buffet should
have to be most convenient and orna'
mentally located
The kitchen connects directly with
the dining-room, giving convenient
service; and the pantry Is also con-
veniently located near the back porch
entrance and the cellar stairway. A
hall leads directly from the living
room back to the bathroom. Doors
open leading into this hallway. afford
ing easy access also from kitchen and
bedrooms to the bathroom.
The bedrooms in this cottage both
lie on the same side Of the house.
Each is twelve and a half by ten feet
and we'll lighted, the closets forming
feature that will be much appreci-
ated by the housewife.
The exterior material for this
bungalow is Portland cement stucco,
which lends itself readily to great
variety of schemes Of ornamentation.
The body of the wall may be either
wood or steel framework, or 1t may

There are many who speak of the
present as the Age of Cement. And
certainly, from the rapidly multiply
ing evidences to be found on every
hand, it would appear as If concrete
had already gone too far to establish
its claims as very serviceable substi-
tute for the old-time stone and brick
and timber-not necessarily driving
these latter out of use In building
comes prohibitive, but lending itself
easily to attractive combination with
them, showing wider adaptability
to varying conditions affecting de-
sign, and having some exclusive ad-
vantages that readily explain the ire

form of building material

Of the old prejudice against this type
of construction. But now that the
manufacture of Portland cement has
been mechanically and scientifically
perfected, and experience has taught
the world absolute safe and reliable
methods Of using it in the mixing and
structural application of concrete,
people everywhere are coming in in
creasing numbers to recognize that
the cement house may be just as at

put in between high two or three-story
dwellings, much to the detriment OF
the typical bungalow style. Much
very peculiar art has been perpetrated
in the name of the bungalow, and il
has to account for many freakish
dwellings for which it is not in any
way to blame.
We have never happened to see a
bungalow-style Office building. nor do
we remember having heard Of one;
STILL what is almost as bad, the bunga-
low style church is quite common
thing in many of our cities and
suburbs. These are uses never con-
templated by the originators of the
bungalow In this country, and should
not be charged up against the style.
The bungalow, rightly understood, is
an artistically designed cottage, and
within that sphere has some exceed
ingly creditable features of work to
show.
The estimated cost of the house
here shown ranges from $1,650 to
$1,800, depending to some extent on
the locality and on local market con-
ditions of material and labor. The
design has that simplicity and direct
ness which are the keynotes charac-
teristic of the bungalow style OF
house. At cost no greater than for
plain, unornamented cottage with
the same accommodations, real
home-like, coy and attractive dwell
ing is secured.
The porch, as can be seen, is
prominent feature adding to the
external appearance-and the same
is true of every typical bungalow. This
one is six feet wide by nineteen and
a half feet long, extending along al
most the entire front Of the dwelling,
supported by massive pillars, and the
coping of the inclosing wall affording

good enough, it is true, for Southern
California or the southern states, such
as Florida and Louisiana, but in the
main not suitable for practical build
ing throughout the country at large.
It has been affirmed that the cost OF
the bungalow style dwelling is far In
excess of that of the ordinary type
two-story house providing the same
accommodations.
The criticism against the bungalow
has been due, not SO much to the real
characteristics Of the style itself, as
to the over-enthusiasm of its devo-
tees. who have advocated it for build
ings for which 1t was never intended
Designed originally for summer cot
tage work and for spacious building
sites, preferably of billy nature,
there have been too many instances
where this type of dwelling has been
squeezed into a narrow city lot and
