In the accompanying design the ar
chitect has followed the idea of giving
to the home builder the greatest

making the house nearly square, but
has taken away the plain effect by adj

This is what is known as chip

yond his means to pay. There are
thousands of home builders who have
secured their homes on the contract
plan, that is, by paying so much a
month, and have found that they
were unable to meet the payments.
Judgment in this respect, as in any
other, should be used.
This little dissertation is not design
ed to discourage the prospective home
builder On the other hand, it is in
tended to warn prospective home
builders about mistakes that some
have made, and which do much to dis
courage others. A well-balanced home
in the respects mentioned is an in
vestment that no one will be sorry for.
The average person who builds
knows little about construction meth
DDS and materials. Also he does not
know how to plan the interior ar

his money. There are, however, in

Upstairs are three bedrooms of good
size and sleeping porch, at the rear
corner of the house, making it more
private. 1t has almost continuous win
dows, which, when fitted with case

The basement extends under all Of
the house proper, and provides room
for the furnace or other type of heat
ing plant, the fuel supply, the laun-
dry and storage room for vegetables
and fruits.
Considered as a whole this is a
most excellent design; one that the
home builder will find economical to
build from, and the house will be a
good, attractive home. 1t may not
have the frills, but it has solid, COM
Portable and substantial appearance.
In considering the plan for the home
that is to be erected, the prospective
builder should take into consideration
the lot on which it is to be built; the
location and his pocketbook. In the
first place it is not good business to
have the lot cost all out of proportion
to the house, nor the reverse. A thou
sand-dollar lot should have house
costing about five times that much.
Should the lot be located in section

LAWN TENNIS OLD GAME.

1t may be said that lawn tennis is
ct least three centuries old, having
been played in 1891, when Queen
Elizabeth was entertained at Elvet-

tells us that "after dinner, about 3
o'clock. ten of his lordship's servants.
all Somersetshire men, in square

.Through experience in building and
by study they know many things about
building that will greatly aid the pro-

them costly mistakes may be avoided,
and the new home will be just what

What it will cost to build from the

consulting these men. Building costs
are dependent on the source of sup

Industrial Conference Begins Its
Efforts to Accomplish a
Tremendous Task
MANY PLANS ARE SUGGESTED
Radical Elements in the Steel Strike
Getting the Worst Of It-British
Railway Strike Ended-S Senate
Deadlock on Peace Treaty
Possible.
By EDWARD w. PICARD.

Alarm over The COnQlJlOn OF 1feSl-
dent Wilson was considerably allayed
by the favorable reports issued last
week by his physicians. He was kept
quiet, in spite OF his protests, and was
the mass of public business awaiting
him. The result of this treatment was
his steady Improvement though he
may not be able to resume his official
duties for some time. The inactivity
irked him greatly and Mrs. Wilson and
the doctors had to exercise their in
genuity to keep him from getting in
communication with public men,.
OF course the president could not
attend the opening of the industrial
conference which he had summoned,
but it began its sessions, in the Pan
American building, with go delegates
present, equally divided among the
public, the employers and labor. Sec
rotary of the Interior Lane was made
permanent chairman and then the del
egates, split into groups, got busy on
the program that should be followed.
Naturally, they were swamped with.
suggestions of all sorts and from all
parts of the country, and the job Of
sitting out the reasonable plans was a
big one. The rules adopted We're de-
signed to prevent the wasting of time
by extremists and cranks who might
wish to talk at length on their theories,
whether radical or reactiOnary.
The somewhat hazy but mighty task
set for this conference is the discovery
Of some method of accomplishing in
dustrial peace, of bringing about an
understanding between employers and
workers, of ending or lessening strikes
and lockouts so that production may be
increased and high costs lowered.
Every group, and probably every indi-
vidual delegate, has more or less def
mite ideas as to how all this may be ac-
complished, and it is to be hoped the
conference can hit on the right ones
and bring about their adoption.
The first plan presented to the con-
ference was for an immediate indus
trial truce to continue three months
which would stop all strikes at once.
This was proposed by Chairman Ba-
ruch Of the public group, and follows
the scheme adopted in France. The
second proposition, m4de by Chairman
Gompers of the labor group, was for
immediate arbitration of the steel
strike by board of six, two to be APP
pointed by each group in the confer
ence; this contemplated the immediate
return of the strikers to work pending
the results of the arbitration. A third
resolution, offered by Gavin McNab
of. San Francisco, of the public group,
was for permanent arbitration board,
of which all living ex-presidents shall
be members.
If Samuel Gompers and the other
conservatives who have dominated,
and presumably still dominate the
American Federation of Labor, are
