resented and modern American archi-
tects are not without material for their
inspiration and guidance. no matter
what sort of roof they wish to use. 1t
is noticeable. however. that particular
ly among the larger modern colonial
house designs, the box cornice roof is
given preference. Houses following
this style are being built from all of
the modern building materials.
The smaller colonial houses Of today
are largely of a type similar to that
shown in the accompanying perspec-
tive view. Wide clapboards, originally
used as a matter Of economic neces-
sity, are now produced for their
artistic effect. The many-paned win
dows with their shutters are still ad.
hered to in this style, although the 1T
tings used are very different from those
found on the early houses. The out
side chimney. carried up wide at the
bottom to provide for fireplace and
narrowed down near the second floor,
Is q favorable feature. These houses
are practically always finished In white
with dark green shutters, when built
of wood. The contrast Of the shutters
and the chimney with the white walls
Of the house Is always pleasing.
In this design. the front entrance
leads into a reception hall from which
the stairway leads to the second floor.
Cased openings lead into the living
room and library. near the front Of the
house, and into the dining room farther
back. A door at the end Of the hall
opens into the passage through the
pantry.
The living room contains the FIRE
place. and the ceiling is furnished with
exposed timbers. The library or den
is very attractive room with Its
built-in book cases. The dining room
ceiling Is paneled and buffet sets into
the wall between this room and the
den. The rear entrance into the house
IL through an entry in which the re-
frige-ator Is placed. A small lavatory
Is provided of Of the entry. The
kitchen is handily arranged and we'll
lighted. The serving pantry Is an i'm
portant feature Of convenience Two
large bedrooms and two inclosed sleep
Ing porches. a sewing room and bath
are provided on the second floor.
The arrangement Of this house Is
typical Of the smaller modern colonial
style houses. the scheme being to ar
range all of the rooms on both floors
around q central hall. Maximum con-
venience. Independence Of rooms and
the best lighting facilities are OBJ
tanned in this way.

ing the phase Of the classic revival In
England which took place during the
reign Of Queen Anne. The principal
difference between this colonial style
and that from which II was adopted
was In the use Of wood rather than
stone as q building material. The resi-
denceS in the various colonies each had
characteristics peculiar to the tastes
Of the people In these colonies, but the
basic features Of all were traceable to
an origin in Old World ideas. The rich
English subjects, especially In Mary
land and Virginia, alone. built Of brick.
Their estates were modelled after those
found in England at that time. Their
manor hOnses were surrounded with
extensive grounds bordered with high
brick walls In which elaborate gates
were built. The high-ceilinged rooms
Of these southern colonial manor
houses were deliberately decorated.

those found during the reign Of Eliza

COSTLY CHIMES FOR CADETS

The cadet chapel is Of stone, quarried
from rock found on the military

a million dollars. Its commanding pO-

bells. and the patriotic airs from the

than that, a great many early colonial
houses were actually partially built in
England. the parts being sent over the
ocean bodily to be framed into the
house on this side.
1t was nearly a century after the
successful colonization Of America had
begun that attention became directed
to architectural development. The be-
ginnings Of American architecture date
back to the early part Of the eighteenth
century. The early English colOnists
held closely to frame construction. but
some brick houses were built in the
southern and Dutch colonies.
In the period Of so years immedi-
ately preceding the revolution, the so
called colonial style Of architecture
was developed. 1t was based largely
upon ideas prevalent In England dur

corners and on either side Of the en-

were often finished with just as much
skill and In just as elaborate a man

manor houses. Perhaps the most In
teresting thing which may be observed
In the work of those who designed and
built these early American colonial

houses Is the skill with which details
were adopted from stone in wood.
The modern adaptation Of the colo
NAL style is largely Influenced by de-
velopments which took place after the
revolution and If the general outline Of
the house and perhaps the window ar
rangement are followed. this is consid-
cred sufficient to characterize the
structure as a colonial style house. The
roof design is one particular which de-
signers use to advantage in varying the
appearance of their colonial houses. II

COMPTON SEMINARY
OPENS FOR SEASON
VERY AUSPICIOUSLY
Opening Exercises Were Especially
Impressive and Outlook for Com
ing Year Is Very Bright

The opening day at Loulie Compton
seminary is an event to which the
friends of that institution always look
the one of last Wednesday proved no
exception.
The chapel was crowded with visi-
tors, mothers with their daughters, for
mer students, old girls and new, faculty
members, old and new, and browning
all the gracious presence of the prin-
cipal, Miss Hattie Morton.
The exercises of the morning will
long be remembered The devotional
Mccoy, whose inspiring words are al
ways helpful, especially to young
women, whose needs she so we'll un-
derstands. These were followed by a
strong talk by DR.. George Stuart of the
First Methodist church on "Womans
Opportunity Today"
DIR. Dickinson of the First Baptist
church followed with a short talk on
How to Read" presenting in schol-
arly manner the broader phase of this
important subject
After the devotional part of the ex-
ercises a short programme was pre-
scented by the members of the faculty,
consisting of a beautiful solo by Miss
Beach, IT will lift up mine eyes unto
the hills" a violin solo, Canzonetta,
by Friend, by Mrs. Marson, accompanied
by Miss Margaret Tutwiler and read
ing, Francois Andre" by Miss Rogue
more.
The friends of the seminary will be
delighted to learn that in spite of war
conditions, strikes and increased cost
of living, the school is beginning The
new year with bright prospects. The
boarding department is full to over
flowing, with a creditable waiting list,
while the day school has larger at
tendance than usual, with more stu
dents coming in every day.
The faculty will be the same as last
year, with the following exceptions:
Mrs. Aphra NJ Lyons in the department
of history; Miss Gladys Clark, ohme
economics Miss Corinne Davis. pri-
mary department, and Madame Marie
Cockrille. French.
A great future for this institution
seems assured, and its many friends
are already looking forward to the next
session, when in the beautiful new
buildings, with enlarged facilities in
all directions, the seminary will con-
tinue to be, as 1T has been In the past,
one of Birminghams best agencies for
uplift and advancement.

NEGRO KILLED IN
RAILROAD WRECK
Freight Train Derailed and Six Cars
Are Demolished-Two Men
Injured

Tom Oliver was almost instantly killed
and Early Davidson was fatally injured
when a freight train upon which they
are alleged to have been riding was de-
rallied at Fourteenth street and Railroad
avenue last night about 5 o'clock. Da-
wilson is at St. Vincent's hospital in
critical condition.
Six loaded cars were completely
smashed and tossed to the right hand
side of the track by the derailment. The
train. an incoming freight, was heavily
loaded with foodstuffs, which were scat
tered over the adjacent tracks.
Neither Oliver nor Davidson worked
for the Louisville and Nashville rail-
road, whose train it was derailed. Both
negroes were rushed to st. Vincent's in
Davenport & Harris ambulance. Oliver
died before reaching the hospital.
At an early hour this morning little
hope was held out for the recovery of
Davidson. One leg and one arm had
to be amputated, while he was also Sc
riously bruised about the face and body.
Wrecking crews cleared the track The
wreck occurred on the main line and
blocked traffic until near midnight.
