Floor Plan.

from the low-price class when the amount of useful space provided in it's interior is considered. The illustra- tion shows a bungalow of the Western type which we might say strikes an average as far as the structural decor ation is concerned.
 It is far more important to hold closely to high-grade construction than 1t is to spend money in decoration, if a limitation IS available capital exists. Of course, there is value in appear anee both from the personal satisfac- ton which it gives the owner and also from the effect which it has OR the stability of the property. A certain amount is necessary in any style of residence. However, the kind of orna- mentation which Is called for may be
The Pulaskian., 1917-09-07

expensive or otherwise, and the man of limited means should guard against the selection of house which requires an excess expenditure for this pur. pose. Most bungalows may be suffi- ciently decorated by the use of ex. posed rafter ends and perhaps false purlin ends or purlin brackets on the roof. These things do not represent an objectionable increase in cost and they are very effective. Artistic case ment windows may be used to produce a most effective appearance without excess cost. If the material which he selects for the walls of his house is brick, he should not use special bonds Let the wall decoration consist of a soldier course of brick entirely around the house at grade or such course above the windows. Avoid decoration which requires excess labor and is likely to incur loss of materials due to cutting the building units into ir- regular shapes or sizes. The architect or the contractor who Is familiar with the design of residences is fully ac- quainted with the matter of inexpen- sive yet effective house decoration and he knows how to design the house so that this sort of decoration is all that is needed to round out the appearance of the house into what is artistlcally pleasing.
 Coming again to a consideration of the bungalow which is illustrated here and which we have selected as repre- senting the average of the Western type in the matter of decoration, con sider, first, the exterior design of this residence. The walls of this attrae- tive bungalow are made of pure white stucco which can be placed on either wood or metal lath. This method of construction is becoming more popular all the time and it has many good fea- lures that will recommend it to the home builder.
 The front of the house is particu- larly ornate because of a happy com- bination of details including the att tractive entrance, the easement win dows, the French doors, louvre ventila- tors and roof lines. The porch is built with no roof and is made very invit- ing by the broad door, flanked by windows. The projecting roof with It's
The Pulaskian., 1917-09-07

false purlin ends is typical of bunga keeping with this particular design. The dark finish of the roof and front door provide a pleasing contrast with the white walls of the building. The effect is carried out by the dark fin- ish of the window sash and the face brick coping used on the porch rail. The small brick panels set in the wall surface furnish novel means of re- lieving the monotony of unbroken wall surfaces. Another unusual decorative feature is the balcony with it's orna- mental iron railing in front of the French doors.
 The floor plan shows room arrange ment that is very pleasing-the living room especially is just the sort of a room that one would expect to find in a home with such an artistic exterior. This room is entered directly from the front porch and it's large size presents a pleasing aspect. It is 20 by 15 feet and large fireplace is located in the center of the outside wall with double easement windows on each side. This room is connected to the dining room by double French doors.
 The dining room is well lighted by three easement windows. Opposite these is a built-in buffet that will add to the usefulness and convenience of this room. The kitchen is almost a model for a house of this sizes It is small and compact and is arranged to cut the work that must be done to a minimum. The pantry contains the refrigerator which is of the type which can be iced from the rear entry, a small door being built into the pantry wall for this purpose. The bedroom arrangement, having the bath placed on the hall connecting the two bed rooms is excellent. The entire ar rangement is simple but it's conven- fence could hardly be improved upon.

bank of a river, on the shores of lake or in the woods. The "diction- ary bungalow" is decidedly hot cli- mate building.
 The modern American bungalow may be and usually is constructed with as much care and contains as high a grade of materials as would be used in the largest residences. The use of poor materials and the tolera- lion of poor workmanship is false econ- omY in this smaller building just as 1t Is in any other building. A warning might be extended to those who have selected the bungalow style but do not nave a great deal of money to invest In their home: Do not be misled by fhe belief that it is necessary to load down the bungalow with elaborate or hamentation in order to obtain an at tractive home. The Western bungalow is often quite elaborate in its decora- tive treatment and is, therefore, far

Bridge Case Appealed.

The case of J. F. Mullins against the mayor and City Council of Little Rock, in which it is sought to enjoin the defendants from creating the Broadway Bridge Improvement Dis. trict, was appealed to the Supreme Court. The case originated in the Pulaski Chancery Court. where Null. lins' petition was denied. He con tends that the building of the bridge is county and not local improve ment; also that the collection each year on the assessment of benefits to property in the proposed district would exceed one-half of one per cent of the value of property assessed by the county assessor for taxation sur poses. The constitution prohibits any county from leying a tax of more than one-half of one per cent for all pur- poses. It is expected that when the Supreme Court meets September IT it will be asked to advance the case as matter of public interest, that an early decision may be reached.

That Faulkner county will soon be ready to announce that a hard sur faced road from the west line of the county at Gleason to the southeast corner at Cato will be built as link in the proposed Ozark cutoff of the Jefferson highway, is the belief of those who attended the meeting of the Conway Commercial Club. at which the project was discussed The meeting was addressed by Judge Jor- dan Sellers of Morrilton, who explain ed the details of the proposition.
 Every county in the state through which the proposed highway is to run, except Conway and Faulkner counties. Judge Sellers said, had made provisions for building it's link. If was decided to adopt the route from Conway to Cato, since eight miles os hard surfaced road will be built this year This will leave only six miles 10 be built, from Gleason to Conway and practically all the road now in use is that of the old railway bed and without much expenditure the road can be put into splendid condition

 According to a report issued by the United States Department of Agricul- ture, conditions are excellent for all crops in Arkansas, excepting that there was too much rain for cotton in a few places Cotton is still im- proving in the northern half of the state. In the southern half it is good in most places; but reports from sev- eral districts says that moisture is excessiye; that cotton is shedding. and that the boil weeyil is doing con siderable damage.
 Corn is excellent in north and northwest portions, and very good elsewhere. It is maturing about the usual time, and is safe from frost in the South now. In 20 days it will be safe in the central portions, and ill northern portions will be safe in a month.
 Rice is in excellent condition ex- eept it some portions 1t is late be- cause of late flooding, making it a lit- tie doubtful whether all of 1t will rip en before frost. Rice harvest is ex- pected to begin in about 30 days. Meadows, sweet potatoes, truck, mel ons, peanuts and sorghum are in fine condition. Late potatoes are coming up nicely, due to the rains Peaches are about gathered and apples are fairly good the latter being inferior in several localities because of in- jury by hail.

A little known bit of Civil war his- tory is given recently by Capt S. F. Dide, a Confederate veteran of Cam den. which has to do with the death of brave man who used bad jndg- ment.

The work of architects and build- CTS on the western coast of this coun- try in establishing the bungalow type of residence as a distinct style of architecture, is having its effect in the general adoption of this style, with various notifications, in practically every part of the country. It is most adaptable style; in fact, the applica- tion of the style has been extended
 over such a wide range of buildings that the meaning of the word, ''bunga- low," has almost been lost. That is,
 the meaning which has been given it by adoption of the word to designate the style of building found in it's orig ina1 type in California particularly. The dictionary meaning" of the word could hardly apply to the home of a modern American, unless, perhaps, it might be his summer home along the
