NEW SEMI-DETACHED HOMES
MODELS OF SOLID COMFORT
Modern Construction, Plenty Of Room and
Ample Yards Make New Style of Houses
Attractive to Prospective Owners.

Besides these points, most men. and
women as we'll, like an opportunity to

few rose bushes or the like, TO plant
and tend a vegetable garden, even II 1t
is no more than vest pocket size. To do
any of these things necessitates having
a home where there is at least pocket
handkerchief sized yard. Hence the
modernized double house" which is an
adaptation of the solid row idea, com
bined with the individual house plan,
the whole being called 'two-family
residences or any other name of SINH
lar meaning which the fancy of the de-
signer or the builder may evolve.
Excellent examples of this style of
building are to be seen in operation
on Gallatin street. in the section known
as Fourteenth Street Terrace, just
north of s:aul's addition and near the
mi-detached homes has been com
bined with the compa ctness of the solid

In these Gallatin street homes" said
the builder, we hav We not included foot
warmers, curling irons or any of the
folderols used by so many builders as
1aits to catch the inexperienced. Rather,
we have tried to include in the homes
every feature OF solid comfort possible
in houses that are to be real and per
manent homes. Seven big rooms. well
lighted: two modern baths with plenty
of luxurious roomiuess, commodious
Easements, hot water heat. electric
lighting as well as gas, broad porches
big sleeping porches that may be
screened at small cost or left open if
the owner isn't an outdoor sleeper.
And-something that appeals to every
prospective homo oWner-a big open
fireplace in the living room of each
house. fireplace in which one can
have a log nr" or in which may be
placed a CRATE o. basket for a coal
fire. These are the things we have
'ried to put into the homes. besides
binding them on lots that afford room
for flower gardening, lawns and the
Ike. And people certainly do seem to
like them
Semi-sub urban operations are some
what new in the business of these
builders, who heretofore have confined
their attention to strictly city PROPOSE
tions. That the new departure has
been a satisfactory one is evidenced by
the fact that further extensive opera
lions along the same lines are planned
by the firm, TO be started in the i'm
mediate future.

Builders of the better class of resi-
dence properties in Washington, prac-
tically without exception. are coming
to an understanding of the fact-be-
cause it is a fact-that people nova
days are seeking something more than
a shell that occupies every foot of space
on the lot on which it is built, said
shell being cut up into a greater or
smaller number of pIgeonholes, with
more or less light and air.
In recent years the quantity of print
ed matter that has come from the
presses in regard to the Importance of
light, ventilation, plenty of air and a
fighting chance for a least an occa
sional glimpse of the open sky and the
sun, would. if gathered together. make
very extensive library. Matter of
this kind isn't printed unless there is a
distinct demand for it, and such q de-
mand doesn't exist and cannot be
created until people have given CON
sideration to the propositions advanced
and the questions discussed in the So
called 'fresh-air cranks propa ga nda."
OF course. long as people continue
TO live in cities there will be congested
districts, and there will be rows of
houses solidly built up. Economy of
valuable ground space. economy of
building costs, relative convenience and
closeness to localities Of employment
these are only few of the factors that
enter into the problem of supplying
homes. The ready-made home occupies
a field Of its own and supplies dis
tinct need, else ready made homes
wouldn't exist. But in recent years
people have given consideration to
other matters; they have taken thought

Broadens Own Outlook.

While all such matters may not be
directly 'grist to the MILL yet 1t is in
disputable that the architect who does
study such problems and takes part in
their discussion is both broadening his
outlook and ideals. and emphasizing
the importance of his profession In a
way that must ultimately work to his
hetterm ent-there are still far too many
people possessed of the fancy that the
architect is mere maker of pictures
The city needs the architects help
in the development of a right civic
ideal just as much as it needs the help
of the engineer. social worker or
banker. and the architect must give
this help even a the risk Of being out
of favor with the powers that be, If
he would secure for his profession the
respect due 1t from his fellow citizens"

ARCHITECTS To AID
IN CITY PLANNING
Their Services Are Needed in De-
velopment of Civic Ideals, Says
William W. Emmart.

William w. Emmart, writing in the
National Architect on THE Architect
and the Community" says:
"All things seem to move in circles
yet the interval of occurrences may at
times be so long that the movements
are not readily seen. For centuries all
social effort has been more or less pro-
nouncedly individualistic but today we
are in measure turning back to the
principles of the times of the patri-
archs. Under such conditions the gov
eminent of the city must become
something more than a restraining and
protecting force, for cities are no long
err sovereign states and do not wage
war one against the other. Their
functions are limited to conserving the
health, morals and commercial interests
of the people. City government is no
longer military in spirit. but a central
lied social force, and since the nation
has also passed from the early con-
structive stages when the laWmaker
was the all-important factor. so have
we also come to the time when the
lawyer should In great measure give
way to the constructive expert.
