On March l, 1918, 1920 nurses hal
been enrolled Nv the Red Cross. OF
these 5,73j were engaged in active
nursing service at home and abroad;
I 300 were doing teaching AID com

were enrolled with snecial units for
immediate service. The present ave.
rage rate Of enrolment is 1000 nurses

alone during the present year mad the
Allies arc depending on us to supple
ment their nursing service
The Red Cross is making anearnest
effort to meet this demand. 1t will
meet It, But to do it will have to
have the whole hearted support of
every one who can find a place for
self sacrifice. Will you help! Surely

A great helper to gladness is a happy

er singly or in combination so as to
produce an artistic effect as well as
being of practical use in covering the
building.
Perhaps an open fireplace is desired
in some room. 1t can be built partly
inside and partly outside of the wall,
where it can be made a very pictur-
esque part of the exterior design.
To preserve the house from the
weather good roof is essential. The
existing roof may be in bad state,
and the best thing to do is to put on a
new roof, and this also can be made an
artistic feature, adding greatly to the
appearance of the house.
Even very plain building can be
made rather attractive by the simple
adding to 1t of a little Ornamental
few well-made pieces of lattice work,
a little cornice, etc., will give 1t an ar
tistic look that it lacked before.
A very neat, cheap and satisfactory
way of overcoating building is by US
ing the chipped-slate asphalt roofing
that can be bought In strips by the
roll, usually 80 inches wide and 4S
feet long. Red and a grayish green
seem to be the most common colors.
The St. Charles herald. [volume] (Hahnville, La.) 1873-1993, 1918-12-28

agonally, Is just little touch that
adds to the attractiveness of this de-
sign, as it is in harmony with the
timbered-work effect. The window also
serves very practical purpose, as
when it is opened in the summertime
it allows the air to circulate and keeps
the house cooler.
In this particular house the siding
was placed rough side out and stained
light brown, as were also the root
shingles. Green Clipped slate roofing
was used, and all the strips and other
trim were painted white, and it Ger.
tainly made a very wonderful change
In the appearance of the little home,
and, best of all, it was so much warm
er in the winter, as besides being COW
cred with another thickness of ma.
terial number of closed air spaces
were made. While the expense of the
improvement was nominal, it added
several hundred dollars to the value
Of the house.
The same sort of an Improvement
can be applied to number of little
homes, adding greatly to ones comfort
and pride. OF course, different ma.
terials may be made use of and tIH
design carried out differently.
The St. Charles herald. [volume] (Hahnville, La.) 1873-1993, 1918-12-28

and corner boards were pried Off SO
when they were nailed back in place
again.
The wood strips are Of 1-by-4-inch
dressed finishing lumber. At the bot
tom between the panel strips and win
dow castings pieces of B-inch quar-
ter round are inserted to finish it of
neatly and cover the tacks at the bot
tom edge of the roofing.
Below the belt course 6-inch bevel
siding, Tapped inches, has to be used,
and it will be noticed that the bevel
siding goes down near to the ground
and it was Tapped over the foundation
wall. Mailing 1-by-2-inch Turing
strips securely to the drop siding, with
here and there q spike through the
strips into the foundation walls, made
secure mailing surface for the bevel
siding.
The old porch rail and columns were
removed and the siding continued out
being nailed to framework of studs
The top rail is a piece of finished 2 by
inch and the columns plain by
inch, with a little inferred molding al
the top and 5s-inch quarter round at
the bottom. This was more in keep
ing with the design than the round
columns if they were cut off. To give
the inside of the porch a finished APP
pearance, the siding was continued
around the inside as well.

house may be damaged and need re-
placing, etc.
The exterior appearance of the
house may be changed in many differ
ent ways. If more room is desired an
extension Of some sort may be added.
This may be on any side Of the house
desired that space permits. An addi-
tional story may be added or rooms
placed in the attic by getting extra room
there by means of adding a dOrmer;
or If it is low roof it may be raised
and an additional story sandwiched
In between.
The appearance of the entire build
ing Is sometimes altered by slight
change in roof design-a little more
overhang or hipped end changed to
a gable end, etc.
A new porch can be added, and this
will largely change the exterior ap-
pearance of the house; or a portion
of the old porch can be glassed in for
sun parlor. A sleeping porch can be
added or part of the walls removed
and additional windows put in to make
the sleeping porch, etc.
The body of the house itself can be
altered in appearance and at the same
time preserved by recovering the out
side. The old shingles, clapboards,
ETC., may be in bad condition, and
these may be removed and a new COW
ering put, on Of wide or narrow clap
boards, shingles, stucco, brick veneer,
etc. These materials may be used eith-

It Is useful in producing half-timberec
effects in gables, at but slight expense
and even at Il close view it is taken fol
StuScO work.
A very interesting example where
this material has been used for sidins
is shown in the Illustrations of a little
cottage which was first built as eco
nOmically as possible without sheath
ing, but having building paper under
the drop Siding and against the studs
This little cottage looked very neat
as the owner kept it we'll painted, bU'
it was not what one would call artistic
and 1t was rather cold in winter. y
was changed as shown in the secon(
picture and one would hardly know il
was the same house. Nothing on thu
inside was changed, as that exactly
suited the needs of the occupants.
The changes to the outside Vert
made as follows: First, piece of tai
paper was tucked over the drop siding
to height just little above the win
dow sills, then piece of 2-by-2-inct
finishing lumber was nailed as a bell
course on the drop siding at the same
height as the window stills, and in real
ity forming continuation of them
also continuing as the porch rail.
Above this belt-course strip the
ready roofing was applied directly
nailed on the drop siding, and as the
material is thick and watherproof, il
certainly keeps out the wind. Care
must be taken to break the points Sc
that they would all be covered with
the wood strips. The window casing
