POURED HOUSES FOR INDIA.
Suburb Like Virginia Highlands to
Be Built Near Calcutta.

a large equipment of steel forms was
ordered last week for the construction of
a suburb of poured houses near Calcutta,
India.
This new system Of house building was
first developed at Virginia Highlands,
suburb of Washington. and its success
here has been followed by worldwide
adoption. Already developments Of this
sort have been started in England. Mex
leo, Canada, Austria and the first OF
similar development will be started in
February just outside of Paris on the
road to Versailles.
A group of forty fireproof homes has
just been completed for the mine work
ers of the Delaware, Lackawana and
Western Railroad Company at Nanti-
coke Pa. and a contract let for hillside
city of ninety similar homes by a great
steel plant near Pittsburgh. This develop
ment will be of special interest as 1t
will be modelled after the hill cites OF
Italy. The houses being of terrace type,
the roofs will be occupied as gardens for
out ofdoor living.

Attics Need Finishing.

= Attics-Maybe the walls and floor
have never been finished, and it is now
desired to have same for storeroom or
playrOom for the children. Cheap floor
ing and wall board will soon fix the room
up, and attics are not half bad places to
work in during the bad weather.
o. Mirror doors-Nearly every house
built at least five years ago has a place
for a long mirror door. Very we'll, you
can purchase same any size and a little
work and mold.ng will fix up the old
dooA
.. Picture molding-Maybe the house
is to be repapered, and if SO new picture
mold would add to the attractiveness.
You can supply this.
s. Beam ceilngs-These are not SO
hard to put up and make a very attractive
room, and are very much in style at the
present time.

CHILLUM CASTLE HEIGHTS.
John G.. Deichmann Constructing One
of Two New Houses.

With work started this week on two
new houses and with plans for three
more dwellings in the course of prepara-
ton. an active building season is in pros
pect in Chillum Castle Heights. John G.
Deichmann, builder, who recently pur-
chased two lots on Kennedy street near
North Capitol street northwest, is con-
structing one of the two new houses, and
it is said he holds contract to sell the
structure as soon as it is completed. The
other new house is to be built by Ernest
=. Weeks on 1st street northwest near
Kennedy street. and when 1t is finished
it will be sold to y. B. McCanless.
Although the subdivision of Chillun
Castle Heights has been on the market
only a little more than a year. there
are now seven houses either built or
building.
Even though the holiday season usually
is regarded as unfavorable to real estate
operations. the Washington Land and
Mortgage Company. which owns the SUBJ
division, reports that the sales of lots in
the past week have kept up to the usual
average of one transaction every day.

TO SLEEP ON PORCH
Builders Should Construct a
Dormer in Roof.
WIDELY USED IN WINTER
Writer Gives Details of Simple
Method of Build
ing.

''Of course. you will have a sleeping
porch
This is remark which one sometimes
hears when mention of a new house is
made.
And in many cases the builder is in
tereSted in this new idea.
The sleeping porch may be a fad, but
it looks very much like a fixture, says
a writer in builders magazine. In some
of the suburban communities there are
houses specially designed to accommodate
sleeping porches, and those who live
within are not by any means tubercular.
A sleeping porch is provision for
sleeping outdoors in summer at least, and
not few open-air devOtees cling to their
outdoor sleeping quarters throughout the
twelve months, from January to Deem

TO BUILD HENHOUSE
Should Face South and Get
Sun, Writer Says.
ON WELL DRAINED SOIL
Each Fowl Should Have Four to Five
Feet of Floor
Space.

1t is not necessary to have eXpen-
sive henhouses and give poultry ones
entire attention, but there are certain
things in the way of buildings and atten-
ton which are essential to successful
poultry business. The modern poultry
house should be a compromise between
two extremes in poultry house construc-
tion-between the open shed shelter, on
one hand, which is too open, and the
large double-boarded tight house, which
is too close, according to a writer in the
Carpenter and Builder.
In the former the fowls suffer from
cold, in the latter they suffer from the
lack of fresh air. The modern house is
the composite OF the successes of GEN.
turtles and the result of the elimination
of many mistakes. The house must be.
first of all, cheerful. healthful comfort
able, convenient, inexpensive and dura-
BILE
Size Of the Flock.
The size of the flock would determine
the size of the poultry house. The amount
of space required per hen is a disputed
question and depends upon number Of
things, such as the location. as to wheth-
er it is protected or exposed to strong
winds, as to whether the fowls are al
lowed to run out on range a large part
Of the time and also as to the size Of
the breed. 1t is. however. now generally
considered that each fowl should have
four to five feet of floor space.
The location Of the poultry house is
very important. and the following factors
must be considered:
Should Face the South.
It should face the south If possible, to
get the largest benefit from the sun: be
protected from prevailing winds by hills
trees or other buildings: should be- To-
Gated on well drained soil. so as to in
sure dryness: should be so placed as
would be possible to have trees for shade
and good pasturage during the summer
months.
It should not be placed in a low place,
where the cold air settles. Such loca-
tions are often colder than high and more
exposed places. AS to the shape and
construction of the house. there is al
most an endless variety to select from.
This is only important in SO far as 1t en-
ables the including Of the essential prin-
ciples Of construction.

HOW TO KEEP BUSY
Suggestions Made for Car

ATTICS NEED FINISHING OFF

How to keep busy during the winter is
no doubt the question with many car
penters. especially in small towns, where
1t Is seldom that there is enough inside
work to keep force busy. However, the
man who wants work will be agreeably
surprised if he will look around, as there
are many ways in which he can keep
the money coming" and at very agreeable
work, too. Here are a few pointers:
l. There is hardly a housekeeper but
would like an attractive plate rail around
the dining ROOM and the carpenter can
buy this cheap and can make it still
cheaper yet. The mission designs are
Let the people know that you in po
sition to make designs to order and that
you will put same in place, and if handy
with the brush it can easily be stained
and finished to match the rest of the fin
ish.
Orders for Screens.
9. Screens-Take orders for screens dur
ing the winter. Buy screen wire by the
roll (you can do this at saving Of about
80 per cent?, and let your trade know
that they can save money in placing their
screen orders with you during the winter
and that you will fit and hang them.
3. Shirt waist boxes. flower stands,
porch seats. swings. etc, are always in
demand, and call among your friends
and neighbors suggesting that you are
in position to make up anything in this
line will undoubtedly result in many an
odd job with a neat profit
4. CupbOards and china cIosets-There
is many a house that could use cup
board to advantage that does not have
one now, or maybe the lady of the house
wants another 1t might be that the old
one has panel doors and glass doors are
preferred. You can easily cut out the
panels and put i'm lights of glass. May
be there is a nook in the dining room
not the right size for china closet one
would buy from the dealer; IL SO. one
could be made to order and finished and
will be more attractive perhaps than the
one taken from the store

way most of the crowd summed
up the decision. Certain it is that
he was the first of the men on his
feet. In fact, Wolgast, after be-
ing carried to his corner, would
have toppled from the ring if his
seconds had not supported him.
1t would have been hard to
pick the winner on points earned
during the thirteen rounds the
fight lasted. Rivers was the ag-
gressor in the first half dozen
frames, and had Wolgast in dis
tress. He appeared to rest from
then to finish, trying to wear the
champion down, and then de-.
liver a Knockout punch. VOL
CAST regained most of the ground
he lost in the early rounds, but he
plainly received the heavier pun
ishment. His ruggedness was the
only thing than enabled him to
withstand the punches Rivers
smashed to his head and kidneys.
The end of the fight was I'm
satisfactory. Wolgast was the
winner, according to the referees
verdict, but it was not the kind
of-verdict that lends any prestige
to a champions reputation. An
other battle is a certainty.
