HOMES OF DETACHED TYPE
BEING BUILT IN SUBURBS
Many Bungalows and Two-Story and Attic
Houses Being Completed in Readiness
for the Spring Market.

jority of the homes in this development
are to be of the bungalow type, the build
ers report.
Horace G. Smithy has an interesting
development under way on the south
side of Farragut street between 18th
and 18th streets, in Saul's Addition. The
houses in this group include four two
story -and-attic homes and two bunga-
lows. Each occupies lot having
frontage of so feet. Two of the homes
are of rough-texture brick, two are of
ordinary hollow-tile construction, and
two are built of new kind of tile that
has recently made it's appearance in
homes in this section. The face OF the tile
is finished like brick. When laid in
wall it is practically impossible to dis
tinguish the tile from brick. Houses
ing features of tile and the rich colors
that may be obtained in brick con-
struction. Each house has a large
sleeping porch and concrete veranda.
They range in size from eight to ten
rooms.

& Luchs are building two homes of the
modified bungalow type and two semi
detached homes. They are Of frame
construction with shingled exteriors.
The shingles are stained green and the
trimmings are white, making pleas

features of the houses. Four windows
in dormer in the roofs of the bun
galows insure well lighted and venti-
lated bedrooms on the second floor.
The interiors of the houses now are in
the lathing and plastering stage.
On Montague street west of Colorado
avenue, and about a square or so north
of the terminus Of the 18th street car
line, finishing touches are being given
four homes of the modified bungalow
type which have been erected by
Charles W. Russell. They are of the
eight-room type, with two baths. The
houses have a frontage of thirty feet

Spring of 1916 has found more de-
tached homes under construction in
the suburbs of Washington than at
any season for several years. The de-
tached home. which has always been
popular in this section, is more in evil
dence now than ever before.
The erection of homes of this type is
being carried on both by individual
home builders and by those wko make
q business of building houses. In one
section the construction of more than
thirty houses is under way by fndi-
vidual home builders. according to a
count made during the past week by a
suburban real estate operator. In an
other section a firm of speculative
builders is at work on fourteen houses,
which constitute the beginning of a
development of more than ninety
homes
The home of the modified bungalow
type still maintains a front rank place
in home building operations, a large

ton being OF this character. This type
of house provides the majority of the
rooms on one floor, with from one to
three rooms on the second floor, ac-
cording to the size of the building. 1t
does away with an objection raised by
some persons to the out-and- out
bungalow, the absence of an up

ONE VIEW OF N0RTHCLIFFE.
Revolution Wrought in British
Journalism by the Daily Mail,

SYDNEY Brooks. in the North American Review.
Lord Northciffe has been power in
British journalism for now nearly
twenty years. 1t was May I, 1895 that
the first Issue of the Daily Mail was
sold in the streets Of London. It's ad-
vent marked a revolution in the press
not merely Of the metropolis but of the
whole kingdom.
Up till then a certain ponderosity had
been the hall mark of most British
newspapers. They were extremely re-
spectacle, weighty and dull. They had,
one might have said, a temperamental
distrust of liveliness as something
dangerous and ensnaring. Verbatim
reports Of everything reportable, long
winded and eminently sententious edi-
tor1als and stodgy columns of parlia-
mentary debates. filled their pages.
Occasionally some journal of unusual
enterprise would send a special cor
respondent out to Persia or Afghanis-
tan. would dive deeply into the pro-
fundities of European politics, would
open subscription list for some semi
public object or produce a new scheme
OF army reform. 1t was a decent press
and we'll informed press. 1t was
wealthy, pontf1cal, respected and lit
erary.' But 1t had an extraordinarily
limited range. From the everyday in
terests of normal men and women it
stood serenely apart 1t made no effort
to reach the mass of the people who
had grown to maturity since the set
ting up of national system of educa-
ton. 1t was curiously out of touch
with the commercial life of the coun-
try. In general the appeal of the
British press in those days was mainly
to the educated and the fastidious.
Into this easy-going and self-satis-.
fed world there burst nineteen years
ago the Daily Mail. Alfred Harms
worth. as he then was, it's originator
and chief proprietor, had already
shown as producer OF newspapers
that he had ideas, keenness, courage
and initiative. But this was by far
the biggest venture he had yet essay
ed. Over s2,50O,000 was spent on the
initial cost Of founding the Daily Mail;
two solid years were devoted to the
preparatory work: and the paper was
issued daily, complete in every respect,
for nearly three months before
single copy was sold to the public. Its
success was Immediate. Small where

daily circulation at the end OF the
