Where sufficient frontage is avail
able, bungalow of the type shown in
the accompanying perspective view Is
an excellent residence design for the
person who appreciates bungalow ar
chitecturc. The building is one which
Is designed TO have its longest dimen-
sion on the street. 1t would be most
economically placed on corner lot
having width approximately one-half
or its length. In this position the
building has a very pleasing appear
ance on either of the streets. 1t is
rectangular in plan, being broken from
the regular shape only by the two
small bays In the front wall. The ga
bic roof is built with q fairly sharp
slope, with the cornice directly above
the first floor window heads. There IS
second floor space available, however,
the rooms being formed along the CEN
ter of the building where 14-foot
width is available for this purpose. In
addition, there Is q dormer on one side

closet and part of another bedroom.
The foundation walls of the house
are of concrete up to grade and of
face brick to the sills. A belt Of wide
rough clapbOards girts the structure
between the brick and the window
sills. Above this line. the walls are
finished with standard narrow beyel
siding up to the plate. The gables and
the dormer walls are finished with
stained shingles. The rough clap
boards may be painted in some har-
moniZing color which is not too dark
and the trim Is best finished in pure
white, since contrast is needed with
the prevailing dark tones of the walls.
characterization Of the roof consists
in the use of simple open rafter cor
nice and attractive brackets. A spe-
cial characterization feature is the small
balcony at one end of the second floor,
above the front porch. This balcony
is supported by three cantilever beams
which are securely anchored to the

! from the rear porch. Across the wall
| opposite the entrance there IS q shelf
from the chimney to the side wall.
This shelf is high enough so that the
refrigerator sets under 1t. The most
interesting detail Of this Arrangement
II the location of the serving pantry.
This pantry connects the kitchen with
Che dining room. There is a cased
opening from it into the kitchen and
swinging door into the dining room.
A cupboard occupies the wall toward
the rear Of the building. A slide is
provided which extends out under the
window in the hall between the pam
try and the breakfast porch.
The first floor bedrooms are ar.
ranged according to the best modern
practice, which places them side by
side with connecting hall. Each
bedroom closet is fitted with q shelf
and rail all around for clothes hooks.
Most contractors and builders will sug-
geSt that an iron pipe or wood rod be
placed horizontally across the closet
just under the shelf, so that clothes
placed on hangers may be hung there.
greatly increasing the capacity of the
closet and keeping the clothes in
much better condition than if they
were hung against the wall.
The second floor is reached from the
living room, the stair door being d.
rectly In front of the vestibule. The
stairs lead to the sewing room on the
second floor which connects with an
open hall leading to the bedrooms and
toilet. There is linen closet in this
hall handy to the two bedrooms. These
bedrooms are provided with closets
and in the larger one there is also a
shelf just behind the door as it swings
open. The statement has been made
that there is practically no outside
exposure on the walls of the second
floor rooms. This is clearly indicated
on the plan, which shows that there ia
plenty Of storage space provided I'M
der the roof along both sides of the
building. These spaces are reached
from the sewing room and from the
sleeping porch.

When Amethysts Turn White.

A man recently brought back to a
Jewelry store three rings set with
amethysts which had faded to pale
yellow within few months after he
had bought them. He then discovered
that instead of amethysts the gems
were topazes. The latter vary in color
from pale yellow to deep violet and
purple. Under high temperatures
amethysts change color, becoming frs:
yellow, then green and finally entirely
colorless. Under ordinary tempera.
ture, however, genuine emethysts do
not change color.

What One Horse power viii Do.

An astute French mathematician has
found that in certain watches the mo-
tons exceed two hundred million a
year in little equal jumps. In the
same time the outside of the average
balance travels seven thousand five
hundred miles. Yet despite this u.s.
tonishing distance Travelled by the ordi-
nary watch the amount of power con-
sumed is trifling. One horsepower IS
sufficient to run two hundred and sew
enty million watches. This is probG-
bly, all the watches that are in exis-
tence. But If there should be more
there would be enough power left In
the one horsepower to run an addi-
tional thousand watches or so.-Popu-

A Brave Attempt.

Our machines. ever on the watch, saw
their chance and dived suddenly down
into the thick of them. The leader
was among the first. AS he swept in
he heard a grinding crash and. turn
ing his head for moment, saw two
Germans falling TO earth together in q
mass of splintered wreCkage.
That's what comes of getting excit-
ed and crowding," he said as he fired
point blank at an enemy. All round
him was firing. Several machines of
friend and foe fell TO earth past him.
One dropped unpleasantly close to his
tail. Then as suddenly as it began the
battle was over. The Germans had
had enough. They dived toward home,
and French and British followed in hot
pursuit.
But the leader looked at his watch.
"Phew! Five minutes late and no.
where near the lines. What will the
c. o. say?"
He turned at once for home, followed
by the other three. But the fifth ma
chine never returned. 1t must have !

They circled down to the aerodrome
and fell in for inspection. Their Do
