Harmony of outline is the first e1e-
ment in the design Of a. house, and not
every one realizes that the lines should
conform to the location and surround
ings. We frequently hear the remark
that a certain we'll designed house
looks as though it grew on the spot
and seems to form an integral part of
the landscape. The reasons are possibly
obvious-that the architect studied the
situation and designed the house to
suit the location.
Many owners do not understand this
feature of design, and fond2y imagine
that any design which may strike their
fancy may be ccntorted by the archi-
tect to fit their particular location.
In fact, this is generally the way peo-
pie start to build their houses-they
look around and select some particular
house or illustration from a magazine

Having developed an appropriate
plan from the studying of the site, the
exterior design should then be work ed
out to fit into the landscape, with such
lines as seem to take feeling Of home
like repose. 1t may be mentioned here
that simplicity of forms is more apt
to produce the best results.
Materials play an important part in
the resultant effect, and should har-
monize with the landscape. One of the
lecture results from the use of neigh
borhood materials. SO that the houses
seem part of their native element
such materials cannot be inappropriate.
AS an example of the idea we wish
to convey, reference is made to the il
lustration herewith. from The Western
Architect. The house seems exactly
fitted to it's location. and has digni-
fed simplicity and homelike atmos-
phere of comfort-the house seems

There is a better way, which We may
briefly outline.
Let US start with as free a mind as
possible, unhampered by what Mr.. So
and-So has in his house, at least for
the time being. The architect and
owner should then carefully study the
site, first to develop the plan, which is
the foundation of the design. If you
try to follow the outline of some other
house you may discover that the rela-
ton of the rooms on your lot is all
wrong; therefore, lay out your plans to
suit the exposures, outlooks, etc, of

Disclosure Regarding Dis

Further light on health and sanitary
conditions in the Army camps and can

Senator Sutherland of West Virginia
read into the record a letter telling
of the death of Wheeling. W. Va. boy

Christmas day.
Death was due to mastoiditis. 1t was
not until January that the body
reached home. The body had been
sent collect" AS the family was
poor, the local undertaken advanced the
necessary $45. The coffin was described
in the letter as cheap"
The clergyman who signed the letter
wrote '1f all the boys are sent home

want to know"
Let me have that letter." said Sur

Questioned about hospital ships. Gen.
Gorgas said the question had been
taken up by him seven or eight months
ago and that he was expecting a de-
cision every day. He had been told 1t
was decided that the Navy should con-
troll these ships. 1t will take from two
to three months, he said, to reft a
transport SO that it could be used for a
hospital ship.
The general described the extensive
plans being made for Army hospitals
outside the camps. 1t is hoped, he
said. to provide 100000 beds and es-
tablished hospitals have offered the de-
pa rtment as many as 10000 beds be-

on the other foot" as Army doctors
might be called upon to do the work
of civilians.
OF the new psychological board which

and men, the general said he had little
confidence in the system when first
undertaken, but now regarded it as a
really efficient asset to the department.

FIRM STAND ON WAR
BY BRITISH LABOR
Organization Declares. the
World Must Be Rid of Gag

NOTTINGHAM, England, January 2S.
The British labor party has closed
the most important convention in its
history The outstanding fact of the
three days proceedings is the firm
stand taken on the war British labor
emphatical1y reasserted that "the world
must be completely and finally rid of
aggressive militarism"
The pacifist element in the confer
ence. although demonstrative, was
beaten decisively on every occasion its
proposals reached the voting stage, For
three years the question of the con-
duct of the war has been the principal
preoccupation of this annual conference
and each time labor has decided to go
on, but 1t never before has spoken in
SO emphatic and specific a manner as
this year, nor with such unanimity
President Wilson Indorsed.
For the American public one of tho
main points of interest is the party's
unequivocal acceptance of President
Wilson as it's own prophet. Not single
resolution or declaration was made
during the conference on the subject
Of war or peace omitted an indorse-
ment of Wilson's war aims and atti-

and President Poincare was not men,
toned, but not even speakers repre-
senting the disaffected fringes of the
party spoke disparaging word on the
attitude of the American President and
people.
Revolutionists Get scant COURTESY.
During the course of the convention
there were occasional outbursts of
revolutionary sentiment from irrespon-
sible delegates. but Arthur Henderson.
as head of the party, disposed of them
with scant courtesy.
Revolution is a word of evil omen. y
said Mr. Henderson, land no respon-
s1ble person can contemplate such a
possibility without horror to the BRIT
ish people: especially are such pros
poets wholly without appeal to the
