Home building now is in full swing.
The chug-chue of the concrete mixer;
as 1t mixes the materials for the foun-
dation walls, and the staccato noise
of the carpenters hammers on the
nails are heard throughout the coun-
try. Thousands of happy families will
have moved into their new homes be-
fore many months have passed, while
other thousands will view the spick-
and-span houses with enviQus eyes.
However, with the coming of spring
there still is plenty of time to decide
to build new home, select the plans,
engage q contractor and get the house
finished. 1t does not take very long
to complete the home Of average size,
after the work is begun. 1t Is making
the decision to build and picking 4he
right type of home that requires con-
siderable time ON the part of most
families.
For the family of average size, say
three or four persons, no type of struc-
ture makes a more comfortable and
attractive dwelling house than bum
galow. While all the rooms are on
the main floor, except where a high
attic is built, there is such wide
range of architectural design in the
bungalow that all tastes and adj purses
can be satisfied.
The, home illustrated here is one
that makes strong appeal to the av-
erage home builder. It Is a frame
bungalow, with the exterior walls
succeed and made to look more sub
stantial by the use of face brick for
the sun parlor pillars.
Irregular in sharpe this home looks
a great deal larger than it really is.
This irregularity, too, makes the ex-
terror one of the MOST attractive.
By studying the exterior view and
the floor plan, which accompanies it,
the reader will get an idea of what
an artistic home design this is. The
entrance Is near the center of the
house, the end to the right being de.
voted to large living rosln, 13 feet
inches by % feet, with an enclosed
sun parlor, or living porch adjoining

fine material for binder, and con-
tinue the rolling until. the stones cease
to sink and creep In front Of the
roller.
s. Spread the second course and roll
1t with the addition of binder and
water until the whole surface is hard
and smooth, carefully filing with
stone any depressions that may ap-
pear; then finish the whole with a
course of three-quarter-inch stone and
screenings. This must be soaked with
water and rolled until the surface Is
hard and unyielding. Always be care
full to commence the rolling at the
sides and gradually work toward the
center; by so doing the crown of the
road will be preserved. If this work
is well and thoroughly done the result
will be road that is smooth, hard and
convenient for travel at all seasons of
Of macadam road, with layers OF
stone compacted in place.
For farming community the width
Of macadam need not be greater thar
10 or II feet. The width of stone sur.
face should be sufficient to take care
of all the travel on the road; but OIL
the other hand It should not be so
great as to require unnecessary ex-
pense In the construction or main
tenance Of the road.
When water has to be conveyed
from one side of road to the other 1t
should be taken under the road by
means of culvert. A stone culvert
is, Of course, the best. but vitrified
tile pipe or a corrugated metal culvert
may be used.
Lastly, give the road good coat Of
suitable road oil to prevent dust and
retard much damage to automobiles.

1t. The latter is almost as long as
the living room, and slightly more than
half as wide. In the other part of
the house are dining room. kitchen,
two bedrooms and bathroom.
This arrangement makes both the
living and dining rooms light and
CHEEKY rooms. The latter is on the
front Of the house and is 13 feet 9
inches, by 16 feet. Adjoining is the
kitchen, IL feet inches by II feet.
Back of the dining room Is a short
hall, at the end of which is the bath
room. Opening off the hall are two
bedrooms, one, corner room, being
of an exceptionally large size, II feet
8 inches by 20 feet. The other, at the
end Of the hail, is IL feet 6 inches
by IL feet inches.
This brief description gives a good
idea Of the interior arrangement of
this bungalow and calls attention to
the good size of the various rooms.
And yet the whole house is only 81
feet long and 80 feet wide.
Indicated on the plan are number
of good features. In the living room
is an open fireplace while the large
square bay window adds to the attrac-
tiveness Of the dining room. Closets,
also, are numerous, there being one in
the entrance hall, and large one In
each of the bedrooms.
While they are not shown on the
plan, the attic Is high enough to per
NIT the finishing on Of at least two
additional sleeping rooms on the sec
ond floor. This space may be utilized
for storage, or for playro0ms.
The basement extends under the
whole house, with the possible excep-
ton of the living porch. This makes
a basement Of exceptionally good size
and provides room for the heating
plant, a laundry and the equipment
| that now is installed In most home
laundries; the fuel storage and cold
storage room where fruits and vege
| tables are kept.
This bungalow is the sort Of home
that will make every one who hal
given thought to the subject want t.
build. It is not expensive, compare
lively, to erect. neither will its upkeeE
