based on the floor space provided. The

BILE. Simplicity is made the keynote
of the design and the clean-cut lines
and balanced effects brought out in
the windows, which are usually equip
ped with shutters and have their sash
broken up into large number Of small
panes, is pleasing to a great many
people who have tired of elaborate
decorative effects.
The multi-gabled house, however,
carries somewhat more elaborate
treatment, at the same time preserving
the strong characteristics of this type
of architecture. The window treat
ment is usually similar to that of the
simple gable roof house, as far as the
sash are concerned, but the balancing
of second floor windows against those
of the lower floor and the prevalence
of symmetry in the design cannot be
carried out. There is q difference in

BY WILLIAM A. RADFoRD.

There are few people who do not
appreciate neat appearance as one of
the characteristics Of house design.
There are few types Of house designs
which can supply this characteristic
TO n greater extent than can the Dutch
COlouial type. Associated with this
Characteristic, the Dutch Colonial type
Of house design, when properly han
died, may be followed TO produce
dwellings which, even in the smaller
sizes, possess n decidedly distinguish
ed appearance. 1t is noticeable that
n well designed Dutch Colonial house
placed on lot of proper size and hav-
ing the proper treatment of exterior
walls and surrounding lawn, catches
and holds the average persons eye to
the exclusion of notice in a block Of
houses equally high grade construc-
ton but of another equally common
type of design.
There are two rough classificatiOns
into which houses Of this type can be
thrown. These are the plain gable
roof house and the multi-gable roof
house. The former is, generally speak
ing, the cheaper of the two houses,
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1917-11-30

suits from the fact that the first men
toned finds its appeal in simplicity
while the second must rely upon har-
mOny between its parts.
Fundamentally, the roof, which is
very noticeable feature of this kind of
a Dutch Colonial house, must be very
carefully designed If the appearance
is to be satisfactory from every angle.
AS a matter of fact, the multi-gabled
design offers the very advantage that
it is capable of being made attractive
when viewed from any angle. There
is not the necessity of resorting to
special methods of breaking up large,
expanses of roof area. The dormers,
If any are used, must be small and
rather unobtruslve. The slope of the
roof is necessarily quite steep. This
is necessitated by the fact that the
outer walls of the building are not car
ried up to the ceiling line Of the second
floor rooms since to do this would give
the building a clumsy appearance due
to excessive wall surface and height.
Furthermore, proportionally large
quantity of material is saved by drop
ping the caves down below the ceiling
line and narrowing the second floor
rooms to obtain full room height. OF
course, the sleeper the roof slope can
be made, without excessive use of ma
terIals and unsatisfactory appearance,
the less the rooms must be reduced in
size in order that they may have full
height. The matter of lighting and
ventilating second floor rooms offers
the only structural difficulty and there
are numerous ways of solving this
problem. Windows In the main walls

Cause Of seasIokness.

The nausea of seasicknes is due to
the fact that the nerves from the laby-
rinth run through the lower brain into
the spinal cord just where the motor
nerves that govern the stomach have
their rise. There is a direct nervous
route from the semicircular canals to
the stomach. 1t Is true that impress
sions received through other senses
play part in seaslckness, nasty
smells and sights, for instance. But
these "are as a rule the last straw in
breaking down the cerebral attempt to
keep from vomiting, by increasing the
nausea.~

TO the second floor go up from the YES
thule.
The living room is very uttractively
arranged. In the front are four case
ment windows and on the side there
are four more of these windows. The
windows on the side are placed In pairs
On each side of the brick fireplace.
With so many windows, this room Is
more like a sun parlOr than anything
else. The dining room has two case
ment windows in the front and two on
the side. Because the windows are a
scheme used in the exterior design, it
is a characteristic of this type of
house that the rooms are very well
lighted.
In the back part of the house there
are two bedrooms, a bath and the
kitchen. A hall connects these rooms.
The second floor plan calls for three
bedrooms and bath, all entered from
the hall. Two of the bedrooms are
generous in size and have q large
number of windows distributed in two
walls of the rooms. The third bed
oOm, while not so large and not so
well lighted as the others, is still
very pleasant bedroom and is well
planned to the furniture which will be
placed in it,

can only be obtained In gable ends. II
II is necessary TO have windows In
two walls OF a second floor room over
which one gable section of the roof
extends, there must be either dormer
built out from the roof surface or
section of the roof surface must be
taken out in the design and the inte-
lior wall continued across this section
down TO balcony across the front of
which railing is built in line with
the main wall of the building. In the
smaller houses the latter solution Is
seldom used since It is difficult to OBJ
tain n satisfactory appearance.

The windows are full length Of the
easement type. All the windows in
the dining room and living room are
az this kind and are very attractive.
The windows are divided into small
panas which, aside from the fact that
it presents a more distinguished APP
pearnnce than solid plain window, is
more economical because, in case of
breakage, several of the smaller panes
are cheaper and easier to replace than
one large one.
The dormers, decorations over doors
and windows, wide shingles, entry way
and white face brick chimney are all
in keeping with the Dutch Colonial
style Of architecture used in this
house. 1t is very well balanced de-
