questions and give advice FREE OF

subject of building, for the readers of this
paper. On account of his wide experience
as Editor Author and Manufacturer, he

An attractive design for a six
roomed house of one and half sto-
ries. comprising many desirable feat
ures, is shown in the accompanying
perspective and plans. 1t is not very
large; but fortunately, small low-cost
houses often have advantages over
larger ones Three of these advan-
tages are light, sunshine, and air. In
a small house, opposite windows are
necessarily near together; and the
light from one often crosses that of,
another, although they may be in dill
ferent rooms. Sunshine, of course,
carries light, and it carries life-giving
properties besides. Light, airy houses
are almost always healthful and cheer
full. In crowded cities, houses offer
ing such advantages are always Occur
pied, while dark, dismal houses often
go begging for tenants. In this design
there are three rooms downstairs and
three rooms upstairs, and they are
arranged to provide a great deal of
comfort and convenience
When a man starts to build house,
he usually has some particular ideas
in mind that he wishes to have
worked into the plan. Very often
these are not practical. They have
| been extracted, as q general thing,
from some other plan, and cannot well
be grated into the new design with
out spelling the symmetry. You can
not have everything in one house, no
matter what its size or the amount OF
money it costs. There are natural ad-
vantages that go with the environ
ment, which cannot be successfully
transplanted. This is one of the prin-
cipal reasons why architects are nee
essary. One of the most difficult prob-
lens an architect runs up against ls
to prevent owners from injecting into
house plans ideas that are not fitting
or practical under existing conditions
One man insisted on having porte
cochere at the side of his house, when
the lot was not wide enough to &C

START THE CHILDREN RIGHT
Early Training In Matters Concerning
Rural Improvement Would Mean
Much In a Few Years.

To train children in rural improve
ment ideas means to train children to
see, to observe the beautiful In ma
ture, to become interested in plant
life. 1t means to awaken in the child
mind a desire to have plant, tree,
or garden Of his very own, where
he can study out the mystery Of "how
to make things grow" When we have
interested the individual child in the
individual plant we have formed nu-
cleus for improvement ideas which
may unfold into an association for
creating beautiful homes" In the
neighborhood, the town or the rural
community.
Our public schools are doing a
great deal with their nature studies
to interest children in improvements,
but to the parent should the child be
Indebted for its first lessons in the
industry of tree planting. Children
naturally love to do things, but they
do not love drudgery. How many boys
have been driven away from the home
because their fathers insisted on work
Ing them, instead of allowing them to
work How much better II parents
would lure their children to industry
by companionship and pleasant sto-
ries, especially about plant, animal
and insect life found everywhere about
them. No parent is so we'll posted
but he may learn much about these
things while instructing the children

POWER IN HANDS OF BOARD
City of Cleveland Has Scheme Which
ls Largely Copy Of Methods
In Vogue In Europe.

The charter commission has pro-
vided for a city planning board for
Cleveland under the new form of gov
eminent. Its exact authority remains
probably to be bestowed by legisla-
ton, though its utility in a modern
metropolitan community Is unques-
toned. A city planning confereNce
has Just been held in Chicago. Among
those in attendance was a German
expert who told how the cities In his
country, and In particular how Ber-
lin, controlled urban development SO
as to avoid some of the evils too ia
miliar In the United States. Berlin
was divided into sections or zones and
strict regulations established as to the
height and character of the buildings
which might be erected in each. Some
things endured by the people OF Ger
man cities might not be so acceptance
In this country, but the general policy
of more rigidly regulating the manifes-
tations of growth could be copied prof.
itably. American cities have grown
haphazard. The skyscraper fad has
run riot in New York. The tenement
house evil might have been prevented
in large part had government as
sumed more control over the utiliza-
ton of private property. Narrow,
crooked streets are menace and
reproach. Cleveland takes a step for
ward in providing the machinery for
city planning. The city has accom-
plished much already in this direction,
but the further possibilities are unlim-
tied.

house that fits the lot, the family, and
the mans bank account. As rule,
men are influenced by their more
prosperous neighbors to build more
expensive houses than they can af-
ford. This often comes about from
selecting lot in high-priced neigh
borhood. Then a man feels under
obligation to build house in keeping
with the street and with the ideas Of
his neighbors. He cannot go against
popular opinion without losing caste.
