BY WILLIAM A. RADFoRD.

We must give the Pacific coast credit
for much of the virility Of modern
home architecture in America. Ideas
originally carried out in light summer
cottage construction out West have
been adapted by architects who have
specialized along this line to the sew
erui needs of our Northern and Eastern
climates; and a modified type Of
bungalow has resulted, that is 100 per
cent o. X.
1t is really remarkable, what a diff
ference there is between amateur
planned houses and those designed by
experienced architects. / do not deny
that a good many very artistic homes
have been planned by the owner, or
more likely by his wife, but these are
rare. The great majority show a pa
thetic lack of knowledge of the funda-
mentals of building construction and
of the principles of art.
Not long ago, n Of u prominent
architects made some suggestions for
the guidance of the wne OF building

WITTY AMID FALLING SHELLS
irishman Within al Inch of Death An
swered Superior's Fool Question
With Ready Humor.

AS Private Mulligan Of the
tn Irish was leaning against the
sandbag parapet, dividing his period
of guard between nervous glances
through the battered p%eriscope and
day-dreams of the little colleen back
in the Emerald isle, a noisy shell of
the 80 pattern insinuated its braZen
nasal organ into the earth about two
feet In front of Pats parapet, thereby
making a far different channel of
thought for the Irishman.
After the smoke had cleared a little
and the confusion subsidized a subaltern
In action for the first time protruded
his startled vision from a nearby dug
out, and gazed in horror on the only
visible portion of Patrick that be-
ing his head, and in q voice Of plain
tive inquiry asked:
'Er-er-Mulligan, was that a
SHELF"
For a moment Pat looked innumer-
able things at his superior, and then,
remembering who he was, answered,
keeping the sarcasm as much to him
self as possible:

piosive bullet, sorr!"

"And save Miss Kennedy somehow

Already the horizon was black with
yapor on the three seward sides. The
shore lay about two miles to port. The
anchor was hoisted, and soon the F-55
was making rapid surface Roadway In
the direction Of the Belgian coast.
"Its blowing up pretty thick, sir"
said Davies, looking out through the
port at the dense clouds Of murky
hydrogen that rolled under the cumu-
lus clouds.

He snatched his glasses and put
them to his eyes. look. Davies" he

water covered her bow. her stern.
Donald went to the mirror of the peri
scope. which, fixed because there was
no one to start the motor, afforded
him q vision Of less than q right angle.
But he saw only the thickening
clouds, and presently these blotted
everything out. The mirror was black
as ink. He turned away. A groan es-
capped his lips. He clenched his hands
and prayed that the plan might not
miscarry.

work of an architect Is not q group OF
walls, it is a unified structure with
Uniform design.
The manner in which he attempts to
ornament q house betrays the amateur
quicker than anything else. No orna-
ment should be put on which does
not have a meaning. Ornaments are
mostly sensibly employed when their
effect is to strengthen the proportion,
unity or stability. impressions which
every well-designed structure must
have. For instance, big pillars,
though mechanically unnecessary. as
sure the onlooker that the weight
above is supported.
Cornices and copings of uniform
pattern may be used to make oil parts
of the building appear as parts of the
whole. Wall bands frequently divide
unproportionate walls into proportion
ate sections. Experts occasionally
carry out imitation schemes, repre-
sensations, for instance, of flowing wa
ter plants, trees and men. But such
embellishments would look ridiculous
on any simple building which our lay
man friends might design. In any
case, not more than kind would be
used. Never add an ornament be-
cause "that place looks bare"
Utility is less a matter of art. But
the architects experience enables him
to provide for the maximum Of conve-
nience with a minimum of expense.
He knows how much sunlight can get
through a window Of given size In a
given position. He knows how to
place the heating and plumbing ap-
paratuses where they are least apt to
give trouble and will serve best.
The architects familiarity with the
cost and nature Of materials, enable
him to tell his client how elaborate a
structure can be built with a given
amount Of money, and how best that
amount can be expended. The archi.
tect who starts a client building q
$4,000 structure with only $4,000 is
not under ordinary circumstances
worthy of his calling. / say "ordl'
nary times" because soaring war
prices have fooled the best of us.
If, with all the multiplicity of cir.
cumstances to be taken into account
the layman can on paper lay out q
building which, when completed, will
satisfy all the requirements of proper,
ton, simplicity, unity, utility and econ

Surely it Is worth while to design
every detail correctly. The appear.
ance Of the buildings in which are our
homes or u places of business is q
most important detail in the environ.
ment which makes u lives happy or
unhappy. The pocketbook has a word
to say. also. When time comes to sell
or to rent, how the building looks, not
how much it costs, determines its value

else, be sure you are right, then 60

mite rules Of harmony In shapes just
rs well as In tones.
But the architect does not follow
rules when he composes a plan. The
musician has the "tune In his head; )"
the architect has the design in his
eye. Both are written records, the
one with notes, the other with blue
prints.
Thus, the architect gives the roof
