Rv WILLIAM A. RApFoRp.

One of the great problems now con-
fronting the large manufacturing in
stitutions of the country is the proper
and adequate housing Of the workmen
employed at the different plants. Sat
isfact0ry home building at a reason
able cost has become the vital concern
of the nations business, just as it al
ways has been of the individual home
seeker. SO now the most expert men
obtainable are employed to develop
plans for houses that will furnish max
imum accommodations and at the same
time be moderate in cost.
The logical and most practical solu-
ton to this problem is to analyze the
old plan of housing, take advantage of
the mistakes that have been made and
get down to the modern basis of eff
cheney and economy Of space.
Not SO many years ago real estate
sold by the acre instead of by the foot
and building materials could be pur-
chased at a very low price. Every
family had large house and garden !;
and very little thought was given to
economy either in building construc-
ton or in housework.
Surrounded by such conditions, we
formed the extravaganza habit of build
ing houses just about twice the size
necessary in order to have two CONS
plete sets of rooms, one to occupy at
night and the other to occupy during

Racdad,s "cornse ship.v

Nothing in the land of strange
things strikes the European visitor
so strangely as the corpse Ship in
Bagdad. 1t is a huge barge piled
high with native corpses, many OF
them several years old, which are be-
ing carried down the river to rest in
a cemetery near the whitened bones
Of the prophet.
The bodies are piled on deck, packed
in straw cases, on top Of which the
Arab attendants sit nonchalantly and
play native game resembling DOM
inoes. Some Of the corpses are COM
paratively new, others old. 1t all de-
ponds on how long it took the family OF
the deceased to save enough money
to pay the cost of transportation.

What Flowers Mean to Mankind.

Eight hundred years before Christ a
man on the plains Of Assyria wrote
this prophecy: "And the desert shala
bloom like the rose, and the waists
places shall be made green, and theirs
shall be no lion there, nor any raven
Gus beast, but sorrow and signing shall
flee away" Twenty-seven hundred
years have come and gone since that
prophecy was written, but now the
dream is coming true.
Never in al history has there been
such an interest in gardening as there
is today. And we are gardening moi
only for the sake of the fruits and
flowers but because we wish to raise
better men and better women.-Her
bert Hubbard.

other room. In other words, you are
| investing your money where it earns
dividends only one third of the time.
The modern builder builds for eff
cheney. He makes every room work
"a hours every day. This is accom-
plished by the use of the concealed
bed, which eliminates the necessity of
the bedroom.
The concealed bed has changed the
whole idea of what home should be.
Tt is not folding bed, but a full-size,
aIl-metal bed, standard in every dimen-
sion, so constructed that during the
day when it is not needed it is swung
into clothes closet and concealed
behind a door only 3 feet wide. When
night comes in ten seconds time and
with scarcely any effort, the bed is
swung out of the closet and lowered
for use in the adjoining room. Any
living room or dining room can be al
most instantly converted into a sleep
ing room. Instead of sleeping in small
crowded bedrooms, the largest, best
ventilated rooms in the house are used
for sleeping purposes at night, when
they are no longer needed as living
rooms.
Study the accompanying plan for a
moment. Here is a four-room house
with six-room accommodations. Two
concealed beds are used in this house
and one regular bedroom is provided.
Even in such a small house there is
no feeling of being overcroWded, all
on account of the arrangement. This
house with six-room efficiency is only
81 feet, 6 inches wide and Is feet, 6
inches long, yet it furnishes perfect
sleeping accommodations for six PEG
pie without overcroWding.
The saving in construction between
this house and one of five rooms makes
it worthy Of much consideration.
The concealed bed is no longer an
experiment. It, is a pronounced sue
cess and is in general use today in
every section of the country. No 9TH
er one idea has been so instrumental
in reducing construction cost and fur
nishing maximum accommodations in
a minimum space.

the cost of construction must be re-

The solution lies in the elimination

Economy Now Necessary.
Today modern economic conditions
have forced us to abandon our extrav-
agant ideas and figure out how we can
build more economically without sac
rificing comfort or convenience. La
Dor and materials are very scarce and
must be conserved to meet the govern
ment requirements. Houses must be
built in the minimum space of time to
accommodate the vast influx of work
