ment. This combination is designed
for those who recognize the wisdom IN
open air sleeping but who do not care
to undergo the discomfort of dressing
in a cold room during the cold wealth
er. The sleeping porch is entirely
open on one side and has window
in the opposite wall, so that ventiia-
ton is certain. The bedroom may be
used, then, simply as a dressing room
and may be kept warm for that pur-
pose. French doors are placed be-
tween the bedroom and porch and
small windows are placed on each side
of the doors, in the full length OF the
doors. Although this bedroom has no
windows in an outside wall, there is no
possibility of it's being dark and1f the
doors are opened between it and the
screened porch, the room will be thor
oughly ventilated. When the combina-
ton is used in the first method sug-
gested, however, this is a most excel
lent feature.
Everyone will easily recognize the
good qualities of house of this type
and, as has been already said, it there
were more of these houses carefully
built and well taken care of in almost
any of the towns in the country, 1t
would result in a very much improved
appearance of the communities at
fected.

By WILLIAM A. RADFoRD.

When the growth of towns and small
cities is discussed with reference to
building activity, sooner or later the
multi-family house will be mentioned.
1t is natural to associate the fiat or
apartment building with thickly-set-
tied community, the type being, at first
thought, one of necessity rather than
ever, that there are cOnveniences in
apartment life which appeal to many
people. An example of the eagerness
with which apartment rentals are TAX
en- up is found in a recent occurrence
ia a city of about 10000 population in
northern Illinois. This city, despite
its size, has very few apartment build
ingS. Last year one of the real es-
tate firms announced it's intention to
build a modern IMPAIRMENT building
on a very well located piece of land,
nine blocks from the center of the
main business district. Rentals varied
from $45 to $65 per month. Before a
shovel of dirt had been turned the
firm had signed leases for every inch
Of space in the building.
Many cities considerably smaller
than this one have numerous apart
uent buildings which have proved to
be satisfactory investments to their
owners. These buildings are expensive
to build and their construction is sell
dom attempted unless the investor is
safe In assuming that the demand for
them exists. For this reason, the apart
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1917-06-08

ment building is a product of thlckly
settled communities.
The fiat building precedes the apart
ment with respect to the growth OF the
municipality for the reason that it is
cheaper to maintain. In the fiat build
lag the renter provides his own heat,
while in the apartment, janitor service
is provided by the owner. This, OF
course, increases the rent which must
be asked for the apartments. Some
people, living IN small cities or towns,
do not care for the conventional fiat
building in which each floor is occu-
pied by a separate family. For this
reason, there is nearly always a de-
mand for two-family houses in which
both families occupy ground floor.
space, or in which the two-story build
ing is divided after the manner of the
duplex apartment, each family having
space on two floors.
1t would seem logical to suppose that
q building of this kind would be popu-
lar in almost any small city or town,
even in rather small towns, in case
there is any demand for houses TO
rent. This type of double house may
be made very artistic, as the example
which we will presently describe will
show. There is an independence in
the two parts of such building which
compares very favorably with private
houses built on the average lots OF
growing communities. A few of these
houses in a well-kept town are impress
sive and give the appearance of pro-
gressiveness which is always noticed
by strangers, especially those who
have in mind the investment of their
capital in industrial or other business
projects.
Perhaps the greatest value of this
type of double house In the small town
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1917-06-08

Is found when two branches OF q fam
lily occupy the opposite sides. By shar-
ing in the expense of construction,
each family obtains home which is
considerably better from every stand
point than either could build alone
for the same amount. This type OF
house of necessity requires wide Lot
which makes it's use more Or less lin
tied in cities where land values are
high. On the other hand, the wide
lot, when it can be obtained for rea-
sonable amount, is one of the real vir-
tres of the home. 1t offers the pos
sibility of utilizing natures decora-
tons, and, what is more important at
this time, it gives the residents an OPP
portunity to grow at least part of
the vegetables required for their
tables.
The accompanying perspective view
and floor plan is sufficient to adequate
ly establish the beauty and convenience
which may be obtained in this double
house type The basic virtue is found
in the arrangement of the house as
whole The floor plan shows that a
U-shape is followed in the general lay
out. BY this means the two parts of
the house are sufficiently separated to
provide for privacy and lack Of disturb
ing transmission of sound from one
part to the other of the house. This
arrangement also facilitates the ven
tilation of bedrooms which face on the
court.
The beauty of the exterior is plainly
evident. Walls are finished with shin
giles having a wide exposure to the
weather The roof design is dlstinc-
tive, following somewhat after the lines
of the English matched effect. This
roof could be made even more effec-
tive by the use of the Americanized
thatch-effect roof construction now be-
ing introduced by leading manufacture
ers Of stained wood shingles and COM
position shingles. The colonial inf1u-
ence is found in the design of windows
and in the shutters. An effective meth
cd of finishing this house would be to
stain the walls pure white and paint
the shutters green.
There are several features of the
interior of this design which should be
noticed The arrangement is SYM
metrical about the center line of the
house. There is a large living room,
dining room and kitchen with pantry
along the outer part of each side of
the house, from front to back. Two
bedrooms and a screened porch form
the inner part of each side of the
house, facing the center court. The
front porch is built under the main
roof of the house and is used by both
families. Small reception halls at the
ends of this porch form the entrance
to the two living rooms.
Attention is called to the connecting
bedroom and screened porch arrange

HEADS RED CROSS WAR COUNCIL

To re-enforce the present organi-
cation of the American National Red
Cross, to broaden the scope of its ac-
tivities and thereby make it a more
efficient instrument in the carrying on
of the war to which the country stands
committed, President Wilson has Gre
ated Red Cross war council and has
placed at it's head Henry P. Dawson,
of J. P. Morgan & Co. The council
merely supplements the present organ
ization of the Red Cross.
The organization of the council by
Mr.. Dawson, is now under way. In
speaking of its work the distinguished
6nancier says:
"The Red Cross can be not only an
agency for the alienation of suffering
on the battlefield, but it can exert
great psychological influence and can
increase the man power of the allies.
In other words, the re-enforcements of
the organization which we have in
mind, if supported by the public, will

HILO, January loving 10 the ne
