themselves woefully short on houses
for the workingmen who are being
called in by the sudden growth Of
some local plant or factory. The war
activity is reaching out into surprising
places. All over the country we get
reports Of this town needing 50 new
houses. that town requiring 30. another
town IS, another 100. and so it goes.

radical features that are likely to cause
disapproval. Yet each house Is dis
tinctive and attractive.
The floor plans Of each Of the houses
are somewhat similar because this par
ticular arrangement has been found
to be the most practical. The arrange
ments differ Of course In various little
things. but in a general way they are
much the same.
The opportunity for harmonious con-
trast lies almost altogether in the ex-
terror treatment. and this Is where
these houses differ from each other.
In arranging for the building Of
these group houses, the lots are gen.
orally made fairly narrow so all these
designs are made narrow enough 20
60 on q small lot. The widest IL Is
feet and the narrowest Ii q feet. which
II small enough to 60 on any lot: As
they are seldom made narrower than
Is feet and are generally a little wider
than this.
Several factors enter into the selec-
ton and arrangement Of the rooms.
The main object to be accomplished
in the design Of a small house is the
utilization Of all the room possible,
consistent with convenience and aces
sibility and also cost. Very often the
latter item can be affected by altering
the sizes Of the rooms q little 20 as to
enable the use of stock lumber. This
reduces the amount Of cutting that is
necessary and thus reduces the cost
often to q marked degree. II also en-
ables the builder to do faster work,
which may be an important factor At
times.
Frame construction Is used for the
designs shown here. which are Of the
bungalow type. The foundations Of
these and also Of the other designs
are made Of concrete up to the grade
line The walls are Of typical 2 BY 4

which are spaced 10 Inches On centers.
