which provides for government life
insurance for soldiers and sailors has
now been in operation a little more
than a month. The secretary of the
treasury announced on November 1 7
that up to that date 64,168 applica-
lions under the new law had been
received, representing insurance in
the sum of $552,093,OO0. From
four to six thousand applications are
received each day at the treasury de-
partment, the amount of insurance
applied for sometimes reaching q
total of $50,O00,0OO in a single day.
The law provides that soldiers,
sailors, marines and nurses in active
service may obtain from the govern
ment life insurance in amounts not
exceeding $4,000 at premium rates
from IS cents months at the age
of twenty-one years to $1.20 a month
at the age Of fifty-one years, for each
81 900 of insurance.
One of the primary objects of this
law is to lessen the tremendous bur-
den of pensions which has followed
as a consequence of all American
wars.
1t is evident that the administra-
ton of this new branch of govern
ment work is big business in itself.
But this is only one of many gov
eminent activities incident to the
war which are adding great numbers
of clerks, stenographers, and other
servants to Uncle Sans payroll. Lit
orally thousands of stenographers
and typewriters have been appointed

Perhaps the greatest capacity per
square foot of ground within the foun-
dalton walls is possible with the So
called square type of house. a
house of this type is very easily di-
vidCd up into rooms without necessary
loss of useful space. Furthermore.
the appearance Of the square house is
altogether pleasing, as may be seen
from study OF the accompanying per-
spective view.
In the design illustrated, the walls
of the house proper are finished with
Stucco, while the sun parlOr. porch,
chimney and foundation wall above
the grade are built of brick. In a house
of this size the combination of Stucco
and brick is striking. The color and
texture of the brick surfaces may be
selected with the object of producing
the effect which is most pleasing TO
the owner, and the StucCo Is capable Of
various treatments TO bring out the
desired effect.
The rooms are arranged in a very
pleasing manner. In the large recep-
ton hall an open staircase is built.
Double doors lead off to the living
rooms. In the main living room a
brick fireplace and two bookcases are
the most attractive features. Glass
doors having an ornamental window on
each side are placed between the main
living room and the sun parlOr. These
two rooms give the house splendid
basis upon which model home may
be founded.
The dining room and kitchen are
connected by pantry built out from
the rear wall of the house between
these two rooms. The Arrangement
is very convenient.
-Four bedrooms and bath are pro-
vided on the second floor. Every room
is we'll lighted. of good size and full
height. There Is a balcony above the
porch, the roof being covered with
deck cloth and waterproofed.
