1t is surprising, to one who has not
given the matter thought. how many
little points there are connected with
the planning of an up-todate, con-
venient residence that can be gotten
all wrong If the architect is not ex-
ceedingly careful, or doesn't know his
business, and the house resulting be
almost ruined, as far as comfort and
the conveniences of housekeeping are
concerned.
1t has been frequently suggested
that architects doing residence work
should SEX the advice of women con-
corning many points, and find out
from first-hand testimony just how it
is the housekeeper wants to have the
many features, which mean so much
to her, but which mere man knows
very little of. Some Of these points
that have been suggested are as fol-
lows:
What woman would put In laundry
tubs so deep that the luckless worker
who is of short or medium stature is
in constant danger of pitching for
ward upon her head, while the tall
woman can at least reckon upon a
headache or backache as the result
of a few hours work; or who tu; q
man would make the ledge between
the tubs so wide that no ordinary
wringer can be fitted to it? Would
any woman dream of standing a
kitchen range so close to the wall on
the side where the match has to be
applied and the stop cocks regu-
lated that it is by difficult maneuver-
ing with the left hand that the range
can be managed at all?
Nor is there any plausible reason
for so arranging the wall spaces that
the refrigerator must stand next to
the stove, while the closet in the
kitchen, which is to be used as pan
try is as far away from the self-same

tary reasons Then, too, If the de-
mand were insistent enough. manufac-
turers might see fit to market a
washstand so made that a woman's
hair would not inevitably catch upon
the faucet every time she washes her
face.
A clever woman assisting in plan
ming houses or apartments would see
the advantage of plain holdings and

floors and walls. Another feature that
might be easily introduced in the
kitchen, laundry and bathroom floors
is a drain, so that they could be flood
ed with water that would run on
through connections with pipes.
In the more luxurious homes. dish
and clothes washers run by electricity
would help materially to render the
work less disagreeable and to induce
the servant problem to settle itself.

Ffreless cookers now used by not a
few up-to-date housekeepers might
also be built in. Outdoor racks for
garbage cans, with openings into the
kitchen, have at last found their way
into a few Of the better class apart
ment houses, but these as well as
soiled clothes chutes from upper floors
to the laundry should be installed in
every well-appointed private house.
Indoor drying rooms for use on
snowy or rainy wash-days are another
convenience that might easily be pro-
vided for In the cellar but are gen.
orally lacking. These are but few
of the things that woman assistant
could keep before the eyes of an

architect in the domestic branch OF
the work.
In buildings that are TO be rented,
to put in as many permanent features
as possible, such as towel and soap
racks and medicine chests in bath
rooms, utensil shelves and hooks in
kitchen and pantry, as well as cur
tain hooks and portiere poles, in add.
ton to shades and screens for win
dows and doors. For, where it is not
done, each succeeding tenant adds his
mite, to the Disagreement OF walls
and woodwork.
In the design illustrated herewith,
Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1911-10-12

many of these suggestions have been
taken advantage of. We, who make a
speciality of house designing. are bet
ter equipped with these bits of spe-
cial knowledge than are the general
run of architects. This design is Of
fered as embodying a great many of
these desirable features and the la
bor-saving conveniences which the
women appreciate.
In this design there are three
large rooms on the main floor, besides
pantry, downstairs toilet room, ice-box
alcove and back entry. The front of
the house is especially attractive, with
the large living room lighted on three
sides. Broad cased openings connect
the stair hall with the living room on
one side and the dining-room on the
other, making in all very spacious
apartment. The kitchen is conven-
lent to the dinin-room, also to the
front door and the stairs.
The second floor of this house is
small, compared to the first floor
plan, since the living room is a one
story wing with fiat roof. This, how
ever, provides a very nice second-story
balcony opening out of one of the
bedrooms, which can be used very
easily for an outdoor sleeping room in
the summer time. Both of the bed
rooms are of good size and are nicely
arranged for convenience.
This house is designed along strict
ly modern lines, giving the popular &C.
ment stucco outside finish. This
house will cost from $4,000 to $4,000,
depending on the local material and
labor market 1t is design of a good
deal of style and can be recommended
as generally satisfactory.

stove as it is possible to place it
presumably to give the cook some
NEEDED exercise in getting up a meal?
Another idea which should suggest
itself to the woman architect, or archi-
tects's assistant, is the fact that the
toilet room, if there is but one, should
be separate from the bathroom, as
a matter of family convenience; also,
if the bathroom is on the second floor,
an extra toilet and lavatory should
be provided on the first floor.
There is no good reason, either, for
setting a bathtub a few inches above
the floor, thus leaving a space UNI
derneath which is almost inaccessible
and yet must be kept clean for sani-

STATE BANK CASE
STILL FOOLS PEOPLE

Thursday the proceedings of the
State Bank case was enlivened by
some gentlemanly tiffs between the
attorneys. Receiver Wildes was up
on the stand telling what he had
done in the way of collecting mon
ey on many securities that were
held by the bank.
Massey objected to the volubility
of the witness.
Attorney Mack stated that the
witness was testifying just as he
had instructed him TO and then the
court took a hand in the matter.
and stated that he would insist
that the question and nothing else
be answered. Wildes apologized for
his slip of the tongue, and the case
continued.
The books of the historical Bull
lion bank were brought into court
yesterday and brought back memo
ries of the past to the old-timers
who remember the battles that were
fought. There is many a skeleton
in the State Bank closet that has
net had an airing yet, but viii

FIRE DESTROYS PIPE LINE.

A fire near Verdi, where the
Truckee River General Electric
company is operating, destroyed 100
feet of new wooden pipe which
had recently been assembled. The
loss is figured at $4,000 and was
fully insured 1t is believed that
the fire was the work of an in
cendiary. Duplicate pipe has been
ordered to take the place of that
destroyed, as the company hopes to
use its additional power this winter.
