The Pulaskian. (Pulaski Heights [Little Rock], Ark.) 1915-1929, 1918-08-16
BY WILLIAM A. RApFoRp.

When the nest egg put in the bank
some years back by Prudence, twin
sister TO Thrift, has grown to fair pro-
portions, it's mighty pleasant to con-
template building a home of ones own.
So with pencil and paper Mr.. Home
builder sits down to figure out what
he can get for his money. At length,
after much effort and with great deal
of personal satisfaction, he views his
estimated cost for the nest that is to
shelter Mrs. Homebuilder and all the
little Homebuilders. He has kept the
estimate within the amount he can af-
ford, SO he tells his contractor to build
house not to exceed such and such an
amount.
Well pass over the intervening Pc
Rod and meet Mr.. HomebuiIder again,
when his house is completed and he
has been handed the bills His house
is all right-perfectly satisfactory, but
here's the rub--it cost very much
more than he had figured on. It's the
old story. Estimating is quite a mat
ter of guess work to the average per-
son.
A few suggestions on this subject
will be very helpful.
Bear in mind that a small house
costs more proportionately than a large
one. Heating, lighting, and plumbing
The Pulaskian. (Pulaski Heights [Little Rock], Ark.) 1915-1929, 1918-08-16

usually figured at 81 per outlet for
electricity and from 81 to $3.50 per
outlet for gas.
An ordinary bathroom should have
three fixtures, the approximate cost of
which should total about $15C. Plac-
ing the cost of the kitchen sink and
laundry tray at $100 more, the cost
may be safely computed at $3.50 for
the ordinary home. Additional bath
rooms may be estimated at $3.50 plus
the cost of extra piping. Running
water in bedrooms is figured at so
much per fixture plus the cost of addi-
tional piping. The price of plumbing
fixtures vary considerably. 1t will
always be found advisable to buy guar
anteed supplies made plainly and sub
stantially. All useless ornamentation
should be avoided, as one soon tires of
such fixtures and the decorative fea-
lures usually do not resist hard serv-
ice.
Doors and Windows Costly.
The price per door or window should
prevent the home builder from request
ing additional openings except where
it Is very advisable. Doors cost from
$40 upward, and every window from
So to SIS. Screens, blinds, shades,
storm windows and doors all increase
the cost. Any opening additional to
the architects preliminary plans is
usually figured at $40 or more.
In everything, the home builder
should aim for substantial constrrc-
ton. Flimsy houses are a poor in
vestment. No matter how plain the
house or how elegant, it should not be
marred by false economy. 1t Is far
better to economic on interior trim
than on 'clapboards, building paper,
sheathing, double floors, shingles, etc.
Painting is another thing where to
spare expense is to invite future repair
bills. BY all means build "for keeps
The strain on the bank account may be
somewhat more than you planned to
have it stand but the avoidance of ex-
ira heating expense, extra repairs,
etc., in the years to come will be a
source of self-congratulation.

feet, the number of square feet can
be obtained by multiplying the length
by the width. On basis of So to So
the house would cost anywhere
from $3,120 to $500. The diff
ference In price is due to interior
equipment and finish, the number of
windows, porches, and ornamental
work. If we estimate the height
Of the house at 80 feet from the bot
tom of the cellar to little over the
top of the roof-which is done to allow
for the overhang of porches, caves,
and bay windows-we find the con-
tents to be $1,000 cubic feet. AT
the minimum price of 10 cents, the
cost would be $500 and at 10 cents,
$5,616.
The cost Of building may be boost
ed by excessive ornamentation and it
may be kept down by skimping. Either
policy is bad. The woodwork of any
home should be kept in harmony with
the character and purpose of the
house. This refers especially to col
umns, porches, dormer windows, cor
,ices and interior trim. With hard
wood trim in fast favor 1t is the usual
The Pulaskian. (Pulaski Heights [Little Rock], Ark.) 1915-1929, 1918-08-16

thing to use hardwood throughout the
first floor. Appropriate woods are oak,
ash, or birch. Soft woods among which
are cypress, chestnut, whitewood, pine
and cedar all make nice finishes. Hard
woods should never be painted or
enameled.
Double floors are a necessity If the
house is to he easily heated. Plenty
of building paper should also be pro-
vided. To skimp in these particulars
is poor economy, for building for
warmth means big saving in many
years. fuel bills.
Generous provision should be made
to keep the house warm enough in any
weather condition. Whether hot air,
steam or hot water be used plant Of
ample size should be installed. 1t is
said on good authority that a large
heating plant run moderately will heat
home better and more economically
than a smaller heating plant running
full blast. 1t is certain that from the
Standpoint of economy and fire proven
ton one should not attempt to over
crowd the heating apparatus.
In figuring the cost of various heat
ing equipments, small house with
nine or ten registers for hot air heat

ing will average $50 to $40 per regis
ter. Steam heat will run about S45
per radiator for the small house, and
as high as SIS for the large house
with large rooms. Hot water systems
cost about 20 per cent more than
steam.
One can devote a great deal Of
thought to the lighting of building.
Economy in wiring means much,
though to have home inadequately
lighted is poor policy. Since modern
ideas have suggested wall lights, base
plugs for table lights, pantry and
closet lights, etc.. it is well to fig
ure out where you want your fixtures
and switches placed and what kind of
fixtures you need. Lighting fixtures
range widely in cost, but it is better
to economize on fancy fixtures and in
sure plenty of convenient lights and
switches. Estimates on lighting are
The Pulaskian. (Pulaski Heights [Little Rock], Ark.) 1915-1929, 1918-08-16

cost little more for a large house
than small one. The number and
proportions of the rooms have di-
rect relation to the cost. Unusually
large rooms or many small ones are
to be avoided. Large rooms mean ex-
ira large lengths of timber; small ones
mean extra partitions. It is also bet
ter to have a few large, convenient
closets than many small ones.
Estimating the Cost.
The approximate estimate of cost
may be obtained by computing the cost
per square foot or the cost per cubic
foot. The cost of a moderate sized
frame building ranges from So to So per
square foot or 10 to 1S cents per cubic
foot. If the architects sketches show
a width of 20 feet and length of 40

Housekeepers have been serving

wives as well as many hotel-keepers
pledged themselves to serve no wheat

wheatless bread that could be kent in

the pledge.

Food Waste From Rats.

In all parts of the country there Is
serious economic drain in the de-
struction by rats and mice of mer-
chandise held for sale by dealers. Not
only foodstuffs and forage, but tex
tiles, clothing and leather goods are
often ruined. This loss is due mainly
to the faulty buildings in which the
stores are kept. Often 1t would be
measure of economy to tear down the
old structures and replace them by
new ones. However, even the old
buildings may often be repaired SO as
to make them practically rat-proof;
and foodstuffs, as flour, seeds, ana
meats, may always be protected IN
wire cages at slight, expense. The
public should be protected from in
sanitary stores by a system Of rigld
inspection.
Similar care should be exercised 10
the home to protect household sup
plies from mice and rats. Little prog
ress in Kidding the premises of these
animals can be made SO long as they
have access to supplies of food. GEL
lars, kitchens and pantries often fur
nish subsistence not only to rats thal
inhabit the dwelling, but to many tnat
come from outside. Food supplies
may always be kept from rats ana
mice If placed in inexpensive rat-prooI
containers covered with wire netting
Sometimes all that is needed to pre-
vent serious waste is the application
Of concrete to holes in the basement
wall or the slight repair of defective
part of the building.
The necessity of cooperation anu
organization in the work Of rat de-
struction is of the utmost Importance
To destroy all the animals on tne
premises of a single farmer in con-
munity has little permanent vaiue,
since they are soon replaced from
nearby farms. If, however, the fafin-
ers Of an entire township or county
unite in efforts to get rid of rats, mucn
more lasting results may be attalheu'
If continued from year to year, such
organized efforts are very effective

Arkansas must raise $4,000, 900
more In pledges to complete its quo
to of $35.000000 which the govern
ment is expecting this state to raise
by the sale of War Savings Stamps.
A general campaign has been made
and reports show that pledges to date
aggregate only sa5. 200. Some coun-
ties have pledged more than their
quotas. but others have fallen short.
State Director Moorhead Wright of
Little Rock has decided that every
county can be put over the top by a
vigorous follow-up campaign, organ
lied SO as to reach every individual
wherever he may be, who has not
pledged UP to his full means, and no
has organized flying squadron of
trained men, including the field work
ers who we're active in the recent w.
s. S. campaign, and several chairmen
who have raised the quotas for their
own counties.
This force will be placed at the dis
posal of each group director for as
signment to work in the counties or
parts of counties In the group that
may be delinquent, the local work to
be under the more direct supervision
of the county chairman. Where it Is
necessary the county chairman may
make new apportionment or the
or school districts, increasing them
when the wealth of the population
permits and decreasing them where
the people are not able to meet their
quotas.
This follow up and readjustment
plan has been tried out successfully
in several counties with remarkable
success. In one county, which has a
quota of s554,000, only $145,000 was
pledged in the June 2Sth drive. Later
one of Director Wright's field men
and the county chairman worked out
a plan for reapportionment of the
school district quotas, made whirl-
wind campaign of the delinquent dis
tricts and the re-canvass put the
county over the top. This the plan
now to be followed in all other coun-
ties.
The flying squadron started out
Monday for a "mopping up" campaign
in Group No 2, under the supervision
of Group Director Charles G. Henry
of Newport. This group is composed
of Baxter, Clebourne, Fulton, Inde-
pendence, lizard, Jackson. Lawrence,

the efficient work done by them in
their own counties.
After completing the work in Group
No. the flying squadron will be as
signed to some other group and the
follow-up plan will be carried in to ev-
cry county until the states full quota
of $35,000,000 is raised and the
