D0NT'S' FOR HOME BUILDERS
Serious Thought Should Be Given to
Things That Should Be Omitted
From New Building.

If you are intending to build a home,
as doubtless you are, don't in planning
devote all your energies to the things
you need in the building, but rather
give serious thought to the things that
can well be omitted, thereby saving
you expense and future trouble and
annoyance. Some Of these are briefly
outlined in the following "don'ts y

get that there is just one best layout
for the house on any plot, and that lay
out a be determined only through
long, patient and careful study Of all
the surrounding conditions.
Don't forget that the unsightly radi-
ator may be successfully concealed by
grilles. There are to be had special
grille designs, suited to the various
orders Of decoration.
Don't, when laying out the lighting
system of the new house, fail to plan
for adequate switch control. This is
one of the most important features In
the well-equipped modern home.
Don't, If you wish to give an air Of
spaciousness to the rooms, fail to
eliminate all unnecessary details.
Don't plan your new home without
taking into consideration the posi-
bilities of the grounds. In these days
of ~out-of-door living, the garden, the
pergola, the sun-room, the arbor and
the tea-room are all really extensions
of the house itself.

OLD AGE BECOMING TO BRICK
Tones Bleach Out and Grow Soft 40
Years Go 6y-House OF This Ma.
teriaI Should Be OF Simple Design.

Brick houses grow old beautifully
Brick, if it is good in color and texture
takes on age beconingly. Brick tones
bleach out and grow soft as years &c
by, giving that happy effect of fitness
SO prevalent In nature. "Brund-new.
ness' wears off quickly and a brick
building soon sinks into harmony with
the trees and flowers surrounding it.
Brick is Of every tone and hue, from
light buff to purplish black. Some
shades are beautiful and some are not,
so the same discriminating taste must
be displayed in selecting brick that is
used in selecting any other house ma
terial. In considering brick, remember,
first, that there is no such thing as
style" in architecture. That Is to say,
style in the sense that this type or that
type is in style or out Of style and &C.
cordingly should not be used.
Brick houses can be built Of any
shape or size, but brickwork deserves
some consideration as to the former,
Do not build your brick house the
same shape you would a frame house,
for brick is a very different material
from lumber. Generally speaking,
brick houses should be Of simple rec.
tangular form, with here and there
a plain bay window or wing. 1t Is diff.
ficult to build brickwork when the out.
line of a building is too complex, and
for that reason the most practical de.
signs for brick houses are somewhat
in character.
Brickwork is excellent when com.
bined with cement plaster. This is a
type Of design in England
where country houses are remarkably
successful, and where the compost
tons seem to harmonize so well with
beautiful landscape conditions.

meeting is TO lay out a practical and

The aim OF the Standardization Is
for the better welfare OF patients.
These are questions TO be answered
How can the profession Of medicine
provide through hospitals the best
scientific care to patients at a mini
mum cost? In what hospitals is com.
petent and honest service provided
for all patients?
The investigation will extend over
a period OF at least ten years. Il will
deal with such practical problems as
the unnecessary surgical operation
the incompetent surgical operation
the division of fees the training OF
nurses and of internes the equipment
and use Of clinical laboratories and
the keeping OF case.records.
AS the investigation proceeds the
college will publish from time to time
reports Of its work for wide distribu
ton. Il viii also publish lists of hos
pitfalls which are entitled to the conf
dence and good will Of the public
/ Hospitals which are placed upor
these lists are those in which all pa
tients are given thorough. competent
and honest service. The investigation
is backed by more than $4,000 con
tributed by the Fellows.
During the past year a general sur
vey OF existing conditions IN hos
pitfalls has been made. In this survey
two significant facts developed: First
