BE CAREFUL OF HOME PLANS
Don't Forget That Slight Details, Now
Overlooked, May Cause Much
Dissatisfaction Later On.

When planning the new house, as
much attention should be given to the
things which should not be done as to
those which should be done. Unless
thought is given to many details ap-
parently slight, but which may cause
much trouble and annoyance later, if
not properly planned at the start, dis
satisfaction is sure to result when the
home is completed and occupied.
Some of the things which should not
be done. if future convenience is de-
sired, may be avoided by carefully OBJ
serving the following -"don'ts:"
Don't set your house too low. Better
have 1t a foot high than an inch too
low. The street grade may be raised
at any time, and if the house sets low
this will make it look squatty.
Don't fail to provide proper drain
age under the cellar wall and through
the center of the cellar, under the CON
crete floor. This may easily be ac-
complished by constructing dry drain
or trenches filed with small stone. If
this precaution is omitted, damp
cellar will be the result In nine cases
out of ten, unless there is very
abrupt slope to the land on which the
house stands.

M HELPS
FIELD STONES FOR BUILDINGS
These RowIders Are Used Extensively
In Constructing Homes in Many
Sections Of California.

Cobblestones combined with cement
are used extensively in the West fol
all kinds of ornamental and utilitarian
construction. From ornamental urns
and corner markers to foundations,
bandstands, bridges, and even such
large structures as two-story houses
churches, and even an observatory
may all be found in California, built
of the cobbles that are removed in
clearing.
The resulting edifices are of remark.
ably artistic appearance. The econ
omy of this type of building is well
shown by the fact that in the citrus
belt near Los Angeles thousands of
tons of cobblestOnes are dug up by
the Hindu laborers and piled in great
heaps between the groves. These cob
BILE piles are often fifteen feet high
and twenty feet broad, and extend for
many rods between the cleared fields.
They are literally cheaper than dirt.
It is but natural that many Of the
best specimens of cobble construction
are found in that district. The round
ed stones merely >encumber the ground,
and most owners are willing to help
pay for their removal to a building
ute.
In the citrus section may be found
an observatory in the grounds of PO-
mona college, which is a splendid bit
of architecture.
Near by is one of the most attractive
homes in the West, great, rambling
bungalow of field stones which has for
it's main interior feature sun parlOr
or glass-rOOfed patio. This is a most
attractive detail of a charming home,
with ferns and flowers growing as in
a conservatory, but in temperature
suited for its use as a general living
room.
In Azuza may be found decidedly
artistic cobblestone church, with only
few roughly squared stones used in
connection with the natural-shaped
powders and field stones. San Diego
has two large twO-story houses formed
of this material, and the suggestion of
permanence as well as rustic charm
is made by the utilization of the big
pebbles.
In the larger cities there are count
less specimens of public as well as pri-
vate construction formed of this
rOugh-and-ready material. The parks
contain splendid examples Of the deco
rative possibilities of cobblestones. The
bridge In Ganesha park is far more in
keeping with its surroundings of trees
and shrubs than a more formal struc-
ture would be, and this applies to the
bandstand in the same park and to
the drinking fountain in Eastlake
park, Los Angeles.-Popular Science
