style" Any architect who has the
requisite skill may produce house
which embodies an architectural style
of his own conception, but it is hardly
possible for any man to so design a
house that it does not show the ten
dency of some style already estab-
Hshed. Perhaps the efforts of mex
perienced architects to produce some
thing original is accountable for some
of the houses lacking beauty, charac-
ter and the evidence of common sense,
which may be seen in almost any COM
munity.
The recognized architectural styles
are used with varying degrees of modi-
fication, in house design.
In the final analysis, it is the degree
to which sunlight, the gift of nature
which makes life possible, is utilized
which determines the beauty Of the
house. Sunlight makes it possible for
us to utilize color in the Identification
of the home. Sunlight casts the shad-

wide. The small house may be de-
signed to follow this STYLE however, in
such manner that it will appear well
on a lot very much more narrow than
this. 1t requires freedom in following
the style and extreme simplicity of out
line. The example shown in the illus
trations is not a true Colonial type,
but it is in the class of small houses
designed for a fairly narrow lot and
suggesting the Colonial style in it's outz
line and arrangement. The exterior of
the house is finished in simple man.
ner, with wide clapboard siding, large
porch with turned columns across the
front and heavy outside chimney at the
side.
Clapboards were originally made
wide because of the difficulty in cutting
them out Of the logs, fewer being re-
CURED to cover given surface when
cut wide. At the present time wide
clapboards may be obtained and are
used to reproduce the appearance OF
these earlier siding boards, especially
in the Colonial style house where their
use is most appropriate.
The large chimney is Of brick and
tapers slightly above the first floor. No
porch rail is used, which makes it pos
sible to easily inclose the porch en-
tirely with screens or storm sash. The
hooded windows with their shutters
form a distinctive feature Of the ex-
terror.
True to the typical Colonial arrange
ment, hall runs back through the
way. Cased openings lead from this
hall to the living room and the dining
room: The living room is vefy pleas
ant room extending back from the
front along the side of the house. A
fireplace is built into the outer wall
near the center of the room. The din
ing room, kitchen and pantry are situ-
ated along the other side OF the house.
There is. a buffet in the dining room
and the pantry is fitted with shelves
and a work table. The refrigerator is
placed on the back porch, but it is ar
ranged SO that it opens from the pan
try. The stair leading to the basement
is entered from passage between the
kitchen and the porch.
The second floor is pleasantly ar
ranged. One large bedroom above the
living room is especially pleasant.
There is fireplace in this room. The
closet is lighted by front window.
Two other bedrooms are provided on
this floor The bath is large and is tit
ted with a built-in medicine case. A

homes contained parts which were

BERLIN. Feb, 2S.-(Via Wire
less to the United Press THE first
editorial comment of the German
newspapers on the sinking or the
Cunard liner Laconia justified this
latest example of Germany's sub
marine warfare and suggested that
it was merely carrying out the Ger
man warming that hospital ships
would be torpedoed.
The Taghsche Rundschau calls at
tention to the practice of the British
ships.
'sThe Laconia,' the editorial as
serted, was on the British list of
war cruisers in 1916. If she was
and has now met her fate in the pas
many where the English admiralty
used ships fitted tor war hospitals
at one time, then as warships. then
as passenger ships and then as hos
pital ships, Whether this was done
for practical advantage or as the re-
suit OF shortage Of ships we do not
know. This is typical case of the
German order regarding hospital
ships"
The paper was the first to make
editorial comment on the Laconia
case.
