SLANG TERM OF OLD ORIGIN
AppeIlation "Deadhead" First Came
into Use When Dead City OF
Pompeii Was Flourishing.

Did you ever stop and think why, If
you are SO fortunate as to acquire a
free ticket to something you should
be called a d~eadhead? The reason for
this bit Of slang dates way back to
the days of the ancients. In the ma
tional museum in Naples there is a
case of old theater tickets that the
Pompeiians didn't get a chance to use
before their theater season was
brought TO such an abrupt close by
the eruption of Vesuvius. They are
made in various shapes, each shape
showing which part of that particular
ticket will admit you. You could get
into the peanut gallery only when you
presented the little pigeons, and to
this day that gallery is called the pig
con loft in Italy. Then there were
little skulls modelled Of ivory, and
these were used only by those who
were to be admitted free. Hence.
"deadhead."

the greatest joys of building-plan-
ming just how the home will be after
1t is finished.
Undoubtedly the type of home that
has the greatest appeal TO the sub
urban and small city dweller is the
bungalow. The convenience of the
bungalow arrangement. the elimina-
ton of the back-breaking work of
running up and down stairs, and the
cosiness of having all of the rooms
opening n into the other brought
into immediate popularity the bum
galow.
Great Advance Shown.
Since the beginning of this popu-
larity. however, there has been a
great advance in bungalow designing.
One of the best of these latter de-
signs is shown in the illustration ac-
cempanying this article. This white
bungalow is a new type in home archi-
lecture and is designed for those
whose lots are larger than are ordi-
narily found In the city. 1t might be

NAL house is to the East.
The bungalow is 80 feet wide and
81 feet deep, while the sun porch,
sleeping porch and kitchen porch,
which are ranged along the back, ex-
tend eight feet farther.
The floor plan was designed with
the idea of saving the steps of the
housekeeper. The living room Is typ
ical of a bungalow and has that sra
c~iousness which makes this type of
home so popular. II Is 22ls feet long
and 121h feet wide. One of its attrac-
tons is a large open fireplace, with
bookcases on either side. Opening of
