adding wide porch they also have
the attractive appearance of homes
that cost great deal more.
In the accompanying design the ar
chltect has followed the idea of giving
to the home builder the greatest
amount of space for his money by
making the house nearly square, but
has taken away the plain effect by adj
ding the broad porch. This house Is
of frame construction set on con-
crete foundation. It's dimensions are
only 20 by % feet, exclusive of the
porch projections.
This is what is known as hip

dormer window making Its appear
ance good But 1t is the interior ar
rangement that makes this design out
of the ordinary. Inside, every inch of
space has been utilized, while all the
conveniences that make modern homes
so comfortable have been included.
The floor plans show seven rooms,
three on the first floor and four on the

framed In open pillars, colonial In
style. On the left and right wings are
small balconies for promenaders who
can get views of the wonderful fres-
Goes.
The auditorium, from which the
steps of the grand stairway lead up
ward, is unique, and the foyer is
equally attractive, built in semi-cir-
cular lines and extending the entire
length of the facade. The ceiling is
formed in high and low graded arches,
with paintings by Charlemont. An in
teresting room just off one Of the side
corridors is used as picture gallery;
1t has a collection of water colors and
oil paintings Of the leading actors and
actresses from the year 1850.
Ex-Emperor's City Palace.
Just off the Ringstrasse lies the Hof'
burg, or city palace Of the ex-emperor
of Austria. Passing through massive
DOrlc columns, which were constructed
by Peter Won Hobfle in 1924, admis-
sion is gained to the "Place Of He
roes," outside the castle ward. A new
wing was here added in 18S7-94, COM
pleted as late as 1907. Further on to-
ward the eastern side Of the grounds
is the Heldenplat, where two exquisite
monuments stand, the largest in the
capital. That on the left is Of Prince
Eugene. The base of the statue is
of white marble, and the middle sec
ton is carved in inches, with four
black marble inscribed slabs between.
Above is the figure of Prince Eugene
on a rearing horse. Beneath are sup
porting figures of women holding gar
lands, with crowns upon their heads.
The equestrian monument of Arch
duke Charles stands opposite. This Is
tribute to the man who defeated
Napoleon at Aspern, and his dress Is
strongly significant of that period. A
large flag is clenched in the hands of
the archduke and shields and wreaths
of iron form footstool beneath.
Ascending a winding, massive white
stoop, the visitor Is led to the interior
of a section of the palace set aside for
visitors. After gaining entrance to the
lobby, guards approach with slippers
made of carpet material, and each
person is expected to protect the floors
of the imperial Hofburg by wearing
the same over his shoes.
This large room Is rich in simplicity
and lighted by a chandelier of rare
value, which drops very low from the
ceiling, suspended by bronze chains
attacked to protruding claws, while the
lights of singular and innumerable
electric candles are held in place by
the hands of angels. Low chairs In
bench form with rose colored velvet
seats and guided backs hug the walls
In circular fashion.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
When a horse falls in harness he al
most Immediately struggles to regain
his feet. A strong, healthy horse will
not remain down voluntarily, but in
his efforts to rise he may become
frightened. If the driver will give
tie right kind of first aid he can pre-
vent serious injury to the animal.
Held down by the harness the horse
seldom has sufficient freedom to rise
to his feet, though enough to struggle
and injure himself by pounding his
head on the ground. Accordingly the
driver should calm the horse first by
speaking in reassuring tone and, by
placing his knees upon the animars
neck just back of the ears, endeavor
to prevent injury from struggling or
from bruising his head. An intelligent
horse quickly learns to place great
confidence in the voice Of a good
driver.
The traces and breeding straps
should be unfastened and the vehicle
rolled back from the fallen animal. IL
the horse is in double hitch, the traces
and yoke strap should be unfastened
and the pole, vehicle, and working
mate moved short distance away.
An injured horse will then regain his
feet readily If he has suitable footing.
In case the ground is icy, scatter some
fine sand, sawdust, or straw under
and in front of him. If nothing of this
kind is available, spread blanket or
burlap bagging on the pavement to
give him better footing as he attempts
to stand.
In case the horse needs more help
and encouragement, and especially II
he lies broadside, roll him on to his
chest, with the hind legs under the
belly. Then work both front legs for
ward until the feet are firmly on the
ground and knees flexed, If after re-
peated efforts and good footing he
continues to fall back upon the ground
there is possibly some injury to the
hind parts, such as a fracture of the
hip or leg, which should be examined
by a qualified veterinarian.
In all efforts to assist fallen

his feet he raises the head and fore

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, 1t Is in
tended to warn prospective home

have made, and which do much to dis
courage others. A well-balanced home

Upstairs are three bedrooms Of good

The basement extends under all of

dry and storage room for vegetables

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 1t has a 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 1t 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 a house
costing about FIVE times that much.
Should the lot be located in section
of the city where the homes are elab-
crate, a small plain house is out of
place. And above all things the build
err should not try to build house be-

" y JENNA is reduced by the
W peace treaty to the capital of
" a small, weak nation, but 1t
retains the many features that
in years past have proved attractive
to tourists Not the least of these are
its imperial playhouses and palaces.
Occupying full square block on the
famous Ringstrasse in Vienna stands
the Imperial opera house. Two bronze
figures, symbolic of music, adorn the
left and right wings Of the building.
These and the ornamental candelabrae
at the entrance were designed by Fritz
Zenitsch.
The opera house, erected in 1S61-69,
is four stories high, with five front en-
frances and six side ones, built en-
tirely of white stone. 1t is Of Vene-
tian style, principally of the Renais-
sance period. with mixture of French
architecture of the Same time.
Directly on the main avenue is a
balcony above the entrance over which
are FIVE arches, each having a static
of renowned musician. At the ex-
IRENE sides, slightly higher, are two
Imposing bronze figures seated upon
horses.
Scenes depicted from 1.-THE Magic
Flute" form frescoes In the loggia.
The foyer Is respondent in a color
scheme of red and gold. Many heavy
bronze doors lead into the foyer, some
being draped with red plush curtains.
An old marble mantelpiece stands at
one end, with a carved and gilded
grating.
The ceiling is ornamented by rare
paintings; at the sides are busts of
composers. The walls are enriched
with wreaths of flowers and fruit CHS
eled in stone, making decidedly bril-
liant showing against black marble
background.
The auditorium, one Of the finest
anywhere abroad, was finished by
Bltterlich, while the drop curtain used
in gay operas was painted by Lauf-
berger, that for tragic purposes, being
designed by Rail-. The imperial box Is
located in the center, with seating
capacity of two dozen persons, for the
royal family and guests of nobility.
It protrudes slightly beyond the other
loges, and bears the Austrian seal and
flag.
Magnificent imperial Theater.
The Imperial Theater, on the Lowell
baster section of the Ringstrasse, is
equally magnificent. The exterior has
statues Of Phaedra, Don Juan, Falstaff
and Hanswurst. The surrounding
inches contain the busts of poets.
A feature Of singular note Is the
grand staircase of 100 steps. Tall
lamps at the base and head illuminate
