INDIAN ARCHITECTURE
COPIED IN BUNGALOWS
Expense Lessened by Elimination of
''Knicknacks and Gin
cracks"

An innovation in the construction
and architecture of the modern bun
galow has made its appearance in
southern California. 1t is the adapta-
tion of the old Pueblo Indian style of
architecture brought down 800 years.
modernized and applied to pretty little
homes in southern California. The re-
suit of this first experiment tried in a
real practical way in San Diego has
created no end of interest, both in Los
Angeles and San Diego. says the Los
Angeles Tribune.
When the Pueblo Indians first de-
signed their homes they were fairly
well civilized. and built with mud and
rocks up one. two. three and some
times four stories of various heights.
These queer homes ON the desert of
Arizona and New Mexico and in the
new made towns of this fast develop
ing desert section are a curiosity even
20 this day. They were built to with
stand the elements, to be cool and
comfortable in the summer and shell
ter much better than the wigwam af-
forded against the winter rains. They
were built along straight, square lines,
unknowingly artistic and without
thought that some day they were to
become the feature of California's lat
est idea in home designs.
Seen by Fasteners.
The easterner, coming to California
today over the low altitude route
through this desert section that lies
the other side of the Sierras. first sees
and marveIs at these Indian pueblos
nestled in odd groups on the desert,
and then in beholding the charms of
southern California sees this same type
of dwelling adapted for the modern
American family because il produces
home that is convenient, cool. lght ana
airy. az well as attractive.
In the new pueblo bungalows re-
Gently built on Cabrillo terrace in San
Diego the interior of the modern Cali
fornia bungalow has been retained, but
the exterior is pure adaptation of the
Pueblo Indian style of architecture
Contrasted with the typical California
bungalow there is much in favor of
the new design. The exterior ''knick-
nacks and 'gimcracks' that run into
expense have been eliminated and the
money saved diverted to the i'm
provement of the interior finish. This
is accomplished without sighting the
exterior of the house. as is too often
the case in modern home building.
Exterior Made Beautiful.
Climbing vines and flowers planted
around the base of the walls of these
homes in California climate xill soon
develop a beautiful exterior that can
be colored to suit the taste of the oc
cupant in the flowers he may choose
and plant.
The large living room with three
beautiful exposures extends across the
entire front of the house. The interior
finish of these homes is in curly birch,
beautifully finished in rich tan with
other decorations to match. Designed
TO fit their location on a side hill they
vary in height from one to three stories
in each home, and are so arranged TO
fit the particular needs of each in
dividual owner. The cost of these three
homes totals S21.000. according to es-
Inmates OF the owners, including the
purchase price of a lot in each case.

Finishing touches are being given an
attractive residence of the colonial type
of architecture, which has been erected
for D. ]. kaufman on a wooded knoll
at the end of Macomb street, about a
square east of Connecticut avenue from
plans prepared by Frederic B. Pyle, ar
chitect. Practically all of the interior
work has been completed and as soon as
the installation of fixtures is finished the
house will be ready for occupancy.
The construction of the residence for
Mr.. Kaufman marks the beginning of the
improvement of the picturesque rolling
country lying to the East of Connecticut
avenue about opposite to Cleveland Park.
A few houses have been erected on Ma
comb street close to Connecticut avenue,
but Mr.. Kaufman's new home is the only
improvement between there and the west
boundary of Rock Creek Park.
On Wooded Knoll.
The house is constructed of tapestry
brick and the roof is of slate. 1t is To-
Gated on the top of an irregular shaped
knoll and is surrounded by about eight
acres of ground. which is thickly wooded
with stately chestnut and oak trees and
adjoins the park property. The house
faces southeast and is reached by
winding roadway.
Across the front of the house there is
a wide covered porch with floor of red
tile. Within the front entrance is a large
living room with wanscotted walls and
beamed ceiling Of fumed oak. At one end
of the room there is massive fireplace
of tapestry brick arranged in an attrac-
tive design. Across the opposite end of
the room there is balcony extending to
the foot of the main stairway

vacant properties as promptly as pos
siDle, agree to or recommend to the own
er the making of sucn repairs as would
be equally fair to owner and tenant and
make contracts therefor with at least
as careful regard to economy as if the
property were his own. He should make
prompt collections and remittances at reg
u!ar intervals and ever keep in mind that
the exercise of patience and courtesy,
while discussing with the tenants affairs
relating to the property. will not only
increase his own popularity, but will
usually enhance the interests of the
owner.
$. The agent should guard the reputa-
ton of both the client and his property
by declining under any and all circum-
stances to rent the premises to persons
desiring to occupy the same for immoral
purposes. and should any owner wish him
to do otherwise it is his duty to the
owner. as well as to himself to decline
to accede to those wishes. even at the
risk of the property being withdrawn
from his agency.
Elevating the Business.
,. The agent or broker is in duty bound
both to his present and prospective
clients TO embrace every possible oppor-
tunity, through reading study, attending
lectures, inquiry, discussion, observation
affiliating himself with helpful organiza-
tons or in any other manner. to increase
his knowledge of matters perainng to or
in any degree connected with his busi-
ness. including systems of assessment
and taxation, insurance, customs and
usases relating to the making of munich
pal improvements, sanitation and the
laws and ordinances providing therefor
and regulating the samoa knowledge
of these matters and many others akin
thereto being absolutely essential to the
equipment of the man who aspires to so
faithfully and efficiently perform his
duties to deal justly with his clients.
and to aid in elevating the real estate
business to the dignity of profession.
10. When appealed to by client for
, advice. the agent or broker should never
turn the applicant away with ill-consid-
cred suggestions, merely to save himself
time and trouble. He should either de-
cline to advise or take time to famiiarize
himself with all the essential details of
the case. SO that he may intelligently
guide the applicant to his advantage
rather than to his detriment He should
especially avoid giving advice upon legal
points with which he is not thoroughly
familiar by reason of practical expert
ence but should instead earnestly rec
ommeud that his client promptly consult
a lawyer regarding such matters.

published in these columns next Satur-
day.

4. 1t is also a duty of the agent or
broker To suggest to owners in an appro-

to warrant, the making of such repairs or
improvements to buildings or premises

believes will make the property more at

ally cannot honorably speculate for his
client AS a general rule he would do
best to make sales directly for the ac-
count of the owner. deducting only the
usual commission However. in some To-
calities. especially in the far west. in the
marketing of large tracts of land it is
customary for owners to make net

being mutually advantageous.
6. 1t is doubtless Il duty of broker
strongly to encourage his client to eX-
press in the deed the real consideration
for which a sale is made, for the sake OF
the moral effect thereof upon all con-
cerned to aid in preventing fraudulent
practices as well as for the sake of the
great advantage which should accrue TO
property holders in general by reason OF
the improved opportunities afforded as
SCISSORS to arrive at fair and equitable
basis for taxation. In rare cases circum-
stances may appear to justify the enter
ing of a merely nominal consideration,

has been in progress for month, to
speedy conclusion.
The Germans, although they have
brought heavy reinforcements from
Germany and can now use at least
part of the troops which partici-
pated in the siege OF Antwerp, are
known to have withdrawn many
troops from their front along the
Aisne to reinforce the right wing,
where they have been striking hard
at the allies left
These attacks apparently have met
with little success, for the Frenh
claim to have made marked progress
between Arras and Albert. AT the
same time the withdrawal from the
center of the German troops engaged
has enabled the allies to make adj
vances in the Barry-au-Bac district,
to the northwest of Rheims. and also
toward Souain, west OF the Algonne
and north of Malancourt, between
the Argonne and the Meuse.
