THE RED CROSS MOVEMENT

Berea is glad to be a part of this
great movement. There is now no
excuse for anyone not helping in
the great war for freedom. The
work Of the Red Cross should appeal
tn everyone having the personal
comfort and interest of our soldiers
at heart.
Madison County has assumed the
responsibility of raising siO.OOO.OO
and has divided itself into districts
allotlng certain amounts for such
divisions. Berea has assumed the
obligation of si,OOO.OO. A vigorous
campaign will be on soon to raise
this sum. Don't hesitate to give
that large amount you know you
should give as your part when wait
ed upon by the committe.

SERIOUS AUTO ACCIDENT

A very serious accident occurred
on Main Street in front Of the Print
ing Office Saturday afternoon when
Miss Bonnie Marcum in an automo-
bile ran down James Little on a
bicycle. Mr.. Little was violently
thrown and his skull was fractured.
For sometime il was thot that he
could not possibly recover. but after
careful treatment at the Robinson
Hospital he is resting well. Miss
Marcum was thrown thru the wind
shield and badly cut. From the
circumstances the incident seems TO
have been purely accidental. That
it did not result more seriously Is
indeed fortunate.

dows with their shutters are still adj
hered TO in this style, although the fit
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 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.s The library or den
is very attractive room with its
bult-in book cases. The dining room
ceiling is paneled and a buffet sets into
the wall between this room and the
den. The rear entrance into the house
is through an entry In which the re-
frigerator is placed. A small lavatory
is provided off of the entry. The
kitchen is handily arranged and we'll
lighted. The serving pantry is an inn
portant feature of convenience. Two
large bedrooms and two inclosed sleep
ing porches, a sewing room and q 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 a central hall. Maximum con-
venience. independence of rooms and
the best lighting facilities are OBJ
tanned in this way.

First-Fioor Plan.

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 1t was adopted
was in the use of wood rather than
stone as a building material. The resi-
denees in the various colonies each had
characteristics peculiar TO the tastes
of the people in these colonies, but the
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 houses 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.
Large fireplaces were used, similar to
those found during the reign of Eliza
beth in England.
Even the finest of the New England
houses were built of wood. Because they
were less extensive in their arrange
ment. they did not possess the dignified
appearance of the houses built in the
southern colonies, but they were, new
ertheless, picturesque. The type, which
is familiar to all, was that of the large,
rectangular house having many-paned
windows placed symmetricaliy and one
move the other. fitted with shutters,
with the entrance directly in the cen
ter of the building and heavy pilasters
carried from foundation to roof at the
corners and on either side of the en-
trance. The interiors of these houses
were often finished with just as much
skill and In just as elaborate man.
per as those of the southern colonial
manor houses. Perhaps the most in
