no frilIs about this architectural de-
sign, but the house has the air of
solidity, the convenience of arrange
ment and the graceful exterior that
everyone wants in this type of a
home.

is unique. There is one large bed
room ii by II feet, over a portion of
both the living and dining room. This
has three windows at the end and is
a delightful sleeping and sitting room.
Large closets on either side Of the
room will appeal to the housekeeper.
The hall leads directly to this large
room and off it is a bedroom at the
front and another at the rear Of the
house. The bathroom opens off the
end of the hall.
While a description of the arrange
ment of house and the dimensions
of the rooms does not always give
O very good idea of it's interior, the
floor plan visualizes 1t much better.
A careful study of the first and sec
ond floor plans given herewith will
reveal to the reader how many are the
fine features of this brick house.
Home Is Good Investment.
Owning a home of this character is
as great an asset as being the owner
of Liberty bonds. Both are the best
investment any man can make. The
former provides a place for the fam
lily to live in the years to come and
the latter provide the wherewithal to
maintain it, Prosperity begets pros
perity and there is no place more pros
porous than a community that is made
up Of home-owners and not renters.
The quicker a man gets into the former
class, the better citizen he becomes
and the better chance he has to be
prosperous.
The principal reason why the mod
ern American head Of family does
not own his home is that he feels
that assuming the responsibility OF
paying for it is not worth the effOrt
A talk with any home-Owner will soon
dissipate this idea. The banks are
filled with money that the prosperity
of the country has brought and they
are looking for sound investments.
And there is no investment bank
would rather make than loaning
money to a man who wants to build
a home. A small percentage of the
cost is all that is needed to get a
home; the balance can be paid in
place of the rent that the tenant pays
to his landlord.
With the government urging build
ing, just as it urged everyone to buy
Liberty bonds, there is added to the
investment in home the feeling that
he who builds is good patriot
Build home" this spring and next
spring see how much happier you are
and, what is better, how happy your
family will be.

COST NEED NOT BE LARGE
BY WILLIAM A. RADFoRD.


Mr.. William A. Radford will answer
Questions and give advice FREE OF

subject of building. for the readers Of this
paper. On account of his wide experience
as Editor, Author and Manufactures, he
is without doubt. the highest authority

! Everyone who lives or has lived in
a small town knows or can remember
''the brick house." The owner usually
was the most affluent member of the
community. Not that the brick house
cost so much more than the others,
but just the word "brick" conveyed
the thought of stability.
Bricks and brick houses are almost
as old as civilization. True, the bricks
Of centuries ago did not compare with
the bricks of today, but the ancients
fashioned blocks Of clay in the warmer
climates, allowed them to bake in the
sun and constructed houses of them.
And they lasted and supplied a home
for generation after generation.
These are the reasons that brick
houses are popular. They give an air
of stability, because they are stable
themselves. The man who builds a
brick house builds not only for him
self and his family, but for genera
tiOns to come.
In the era of home building that is
opening this spring, there will be
erected homes of all types. There

The dining room is also of good

Square Appearance Removed.


! While the front porch and the gable
above it have taken away the effect,
the house itself is practically square.
There are no angles to the walls,
which makes for economy in construc-
ton. However, by the additions noted,
the square appearance has been taken
away and an economical, solid and
attractive home has been designed.
The dimensions of the house, eX-
elusive of the porch projections, are
20 feet inches by 26 feet 5 inches.
The front porch is of good size and
with the broad door opening makes

The house contains six rooms, a

Downstairs are living and dining
rooms, reception hall and kitchen, and
upstairs are three bedrooms and the

 Little Rock, Jan. 3.-A plan for the awarding of high school credits for outside musical study under private instruction has been issued by the Arkansas State Music Teachers As sociation, and copies have been sent to over TO high school superintend- ents and principals in the state.
 The. plan adopted by the assocla- ton is based on that used in the Pitts burg schools, which has the endorse ment of the Bureau of Education at Washington, with some changes ne- cessary to suit local conditions.
 The association has asked the heads of the schools to consider the plan and hopes to have a uniform method adopted in the high schools of the state. Tn 25 states there is at least one high school, and in some states several, giving credits for outside music study. Arkansas should be added to this list. Those who are interested are asked to write Il. D. Tovey of Fayetteville, Dean of Music in the State University, and presi- dent of the association.

majority of them ever owned at one time. And they pay cash for the stuff, too. But some are clad in cost ly raiment, the women especially.
 The white men and the white wom- en among the whiskey toters are a sorry looking lot. White men are rather numerous in the business, but there are not many white women or white boys and girls. But the negro boys and girls are numerous.
 Of course Washington being dry, all the stuff carried on these trains is supposed to be for personal use. But is is hard to imagine anyone be- inp able to consume dozen bottles of whiskey in day or two and still having such a thirst that he has to make another trip for more booze. Some of these whiskey toters make a trip every day in the week, yet no one ever hears of them being arrested.
 Senator Shepperd of Texas, who has been fighting for nationwide pro- hibition for years, proposes to put a stop to this whiskey toting from Bal timore to Washington, by making 1t a felony to bring whiskey into the District of Columbia. His amend ment was adopted by the senate.
