Should Limit Dormers.

A very common mistake in the design
ing of homes is either too many or too
large dormers upon the roof. All roofs,
except those of the low gambrel-roofed
cottage type, should have dorners upon
them to relieve the monotony and give
finished appearance. The dormers
should not be 50 closely built and in such
numbers as to suggest a small village of
dog houses upon the roof. neither should
single dorners he built of such size as
to suggest small house ON top of a
house.
There is a certain proportion. for which
rules cannot be laid down. since it varies
according to the style and size of each
home. When properly designed, proper
toned and located, dormers add consid-
erably to the attractiveness of the eX-
terror, we4l adding light and air to
the attic, but when they are poorly de-
signed. or as is often the case, not de-
signed at all, but left to the crude taste
of some carpenter, vino may be a good
workman, but no artist. the entire ap-
pearance of home from an attractive
standpoint is often ruined.
In the southern parts, where the climate
is warm, building compactly has no eff
feet upon the heating. but in northern
climates, where the cost of fuel is quite
an item of expense each year. the saving
in the fuel bill by building compactly is
considerable.

SAYS CURVES INCREASE
COST OF HOME BUILDING
Architect Explains Ways of Lessen
ing Expenditures and Improv-
ing Design.

Whether YOU are building a bungalow,
cottage or large two-story home. there is
economy in compactnesS. Few people
realize that turning corners costs money,
and that every projection from the main
wall on a home represents a greater in
crease in cost than is at first apparent,
says Arthur {, Clausen in the Omaha
World-Herald
When projecting d wing out from rhe
side of house. one not only adds the
expense of the additional material and
the ordinary labor required to put in that
certain amount Of material but there is
a waste of material and abor in cutting
and fitting around the corners. especially
if the projection is in the form of a bay
window There is also a considerable
extra amount of material and la Dor used
in the roof for the shaping of hips and
valleys. not only requiring more labor
and waste of material in the roof raft
ers and straight roof work, but the addi-
tional hips and valleys must be very
carefully made to keep out the weather
successfully. and work requiring special
care requires extra time. which means
extra expense.
Curves on any part of building.
whether in the form of bay, tower or
curved parts to porches, are also very
expensive. Most of the millwork, both
inside and out. to such curves, espe-
cally if they are of small radius. has
to be shaped by the various different
processes of the mill. and brought to the
building exactly to fit. Sometimes an eX-
act fit is not made the first time. and GER
tain parts of the millwork have to be
made over. The glass in windows on
curves is very expensive, and, altogether,
anything with curves in home building
proves a luxury. which few can afford
and which all can dispense with and
save the money to use to better ad-
vantage

| When a man can afford to start out
and build a home which will meet his
ideas in every respect. regardless of what
| it may cost, there is no objection to how
many wings projections. bays. orioles.
| towers. and the curves that he may use,
provided they are designed in harmony
with the entire exterior. The average
man, however. can little afford to pay for
many things not absolutely necessary to
his pleasure and comfort in the building
of home. and it is therefore best for
him to keep it simple as possible and
be contented with two bay windows as
relief to what might otherwise be a plain
exterior
The rectangular house, or what we often
term as a square house. whether square
or not, has the least number of corners
possible, and the least possible number
of breaks in the roof. This applies to
bungalows as we'll as two-story houses.
This is not plea to make buildings
bald. plain and still in appearance but
not to make them unnecessarily expensive
and not bit more attractive by the addi-
ton of too many fussy bays, orioles. tow
ers, turrets and other things so commonly
seen on houses built without proper
guidance.
It is the common experience of most
architects that clients. when bringing
their first tentative sketch as a basis on
which the architect is to shape up the
house that will best suit their tastes and
needs, they find upon the sketch all the
little twists and turns to be found in the

time. The young mans mother
was called at a late hour Of the
night to assist in the moving Of
her wounded son to her home,
The doctor was summond, but
it was too late.
1t seems that these parties
went to this place drinking,
when a quarrel occurred between
Arthur Hadley and Will McGill,
then Arthur ordered the rest OF
the parties to leave the house
Tom Hadley replied that he was
not going to leave until he got
ready, whereupon Arthur Had

shots at Tom, one shot taking
