Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1916-08-25

there are a great many bungalow de-
signs which would entirely lose their
charm if not dressed in an exterior
finish of brickwork. Further than the
pleasing appearance which is obtained
when the house is just finished, the
fact that this appearance will remain
a permanent part of the house for an
indefinitely long time with very little
attention being paid to it, is an as
surance which means great deal to
it's owner. This is one of the great
est recommendation which brick used
for house construction can find. When
once properly laid a brick wall is a
finished and permanent structure in
itself, without anything being added to
1t. The owner of a little bungalow
built of brick does not have to think

the wrong part of the room. The liv-
ing room of this little brick bungalow
is sure to be inviting at all times.
A colonnade and cased opening is
built between the living room and the
dining room. The latter is pleasant
square room fitted with a buffet set
into a nook in the center wall of the
building. A swinging door leads to the
kitchen, which is a special feature of
this house. The outside wall of the
kitchen has a bench built along it's
entire length with the sink placed di-
rectly below the two windows. Two
cases are set into the corners at either
end of this bench. Across the room
is the cupboard in one corner and the
stove in the other. This kitchen is so
well arranged that no pantry is neces-
sary. The refrigerator is placed in
the rear entry where it is easily iced,
being only step from the rear door.
A storage room is provided which is
entered from the rear entry. Stairs
into the basement also lead from this
room. -
The other side of the hous contains
two bedrooms with a bath between
them. Each bedroom has large
closet and is lighted with two win
dows. In the passage between the bed
rooms is a linen closet. The bath
room is entered from this passage. The
bath is fitted out in accordance with
modern practice,
"A large storage space is furnished
in the attic Which is lighted through
narrow paneled windows. The base
ment may also be used to advantage
in furnishing a place for the various
articles which accumulate in every
house. The usual handy arrangement
of basement rooms is furnished, sup
plying accommodations for the laun-
dry, furnace, coal storage and Yege-
table storage. BY the use of proper
precautions in the construction of the
walls and floor, the basement may be
made dry, increasing it's usefulness ma
terially.
A home of this type is an invest
ment in pleasure and comfort which
will pay dividends during the life of
it's owner and still stand a welcome in
heritance to the younger generation.

manent material when once they have
tried the long-lived construction.
A five-room bungalow which has
many distinctive features in addition
to it's permanency is illustrated here.
The white trim of the woodwork fur
nished a good contrast to the brick
and its maintenance will require the
expenditure of very little money and
energy. The peculiar method of porch
roof support adds a note of distinction
to the front of the house which is
carried out to greater degree by the
exceptional expanse of wall taken up
by windows. The porch has low
rail around it except at the corners,
where solid brick columns run higher
up to receive the wooden columns and
braces of the roof support. The con-
crete floor of the porch is drained
through two unique little arched open
ings on either side of the steps. The
low dormer placed in the center with
three paneled windows running near
ly across the. front of it.
The arrangement of rooms is very
convenient and great many special
devices are employed to make the
home as coy and inviting as possible.
A very useful little reception hall is
entered from the front porch. This
hall has a seat built into the end to
the left Of the door. At one end of
this seat a closet is provided for wraps.
A large window at the other end of
the seat allows plenty of light to en-
ter. A cased opening leads into
hallway which is really part of the
living room.
One end of the living room is taken
up across its entire length by mass
i've brick fireplace and mantel on
either side of which is a Duilt-in book
case set beneath small window. The
front wall of the living room is prac-
tically all given up to the large win
dow seen from the street. This room
is large enough to permit the use of
some carefully selected furniture
which will harmonizeS with the fire
place and other architectural details of
the room. With proper wall finish and
furniture the living room should be
very pleasant both during the day and
throughout the evening. Living rooms
are quite often especially attractive
at night with fireplace. CRATE covered
with glowing Goals, but during the day
the pleasing effect is lost because Of
insufficient light or light directed into

Wen drink Grant and Sherman and to the subs
To Thomas Meade and Sheridan dhese in apro-
weiI toast them all with gobets full at Benny Ha-
vens, Oh!
Early in 1866 Gen. Winfield Scott died. For him
this verse appeared:
Another star has faded we miss its brilliant glow.
For the veteran Scott has ceased to be soldier here
And the country which he honored feels heart
As o os toast his name in reverence at Benny Ravens
During the last year of Bennys life came the
stunning news that Custer and his men had fought
their last fight James e. Porter Harrington and
Others lieutenants and West Pointers ALL persisted
with that gallant band. Not until Benny had died
did these verses appear in memory of Custer and
his command
So swift to death brave Custer; amid the battles
Death caied-and crowned he went to join the friends
To the land Of Peace where he dwes with
Benny Ravens. Oh!
Well drop tear for Harrington and his comrades.
Who fell with none TO see the deeds that glorifed
May their memory live with glories
They've noby earned the right to dwell with Benny
Ravens, Oh!
Some of the other verses fraught with the
magic spirit of West Point-that spirit that is best
summed up in the words, DUTY Honor, Country,
West Point" which are part of the motto of the
academy.
Nowadays at West Point every cadet memories
the first three verses of Benny Ravens, OH" The
first has already been given; the other two are as
follows:
To kind old Alma Mater rock bound Highland
May we cast back many fond regret Ger LIES
Until on our last battlefield lights
Wen never fail to drink to her and Benny Havens
Oh!
May the army be augmented, promotion be less slow
May country in the hour of need be ready for
May we ind soldiers resting place beneath sol
dier's blow.

Wherever duty has led them West Pointers have
sung Benny Ravens, OH" Since Benny's death
these verses have appeared in commemoraton Of
the deeds of West Pointers in all parts of this
country:
Their blood has watered Western plains and Northern
winds of snow
Has stained sierras highest peaks, where piercing
winds blow;
Has dyed deep red the Everglades and deeper STILL

It is the old, old story Of West Point and they
who know il well love best to tell it. It will never

Hudson as the academy itself.

The value of brick as building ma
terial has been established and, dur
ing recent years, a great deal has been
done to promote the possibilities of
beauty in this type of construction.
Decorative brick of many tints blend
ed together to produce a pleasing eff
feet when used in the construction of
the proper kind of house may now
be obtained in almost any brickyard.
The various color schemes used are
greatly aided by the effect produced
in roughening the surface of the brick.
A very soft-appearing finish may be
obtained, the old, monotonous, fiat col
ored walls of the earlier brick houses
being no longer a necessity in brick
construction.
The original bungalow idea seemed
to imply the use of some form of dis
tinctive wooden siding, but this idea
has long since passed out of exist
ence and the modern bungalow is just
as attractive with a permanent type
of construction and a great deal less
expensive in the long run. In fact,
