This Is the season Of the year when
those who expect to build a home next
spring are studying home building de-
signs. Undoubtedly they have fixed In
kheir minds about the sort Of house
they will build. But the decision will
be influenced by the designs Of houses
they see and by the exteriors and In
teriors of the homes of the friends
hey visit. Nevertheless, building a
nome Is an important step, and the
house should not be selected without
8 careful study Of plans and considera-
ton Of what the family needs.
One Of the first decisions to be made
Is in regard to the materials to be
used. In a great many minds, the
thought of a house brings a picture of
a frame building of wood. To others,
brick will be the material. while some
will consider hollow building tile, or
cement blocks. Each material has its
advantages and disadvantages. But.
when arguments for and against the
different materials are summed up. IL
fnally becomes a matter of individual
taste.
In practically every city the majority
Of houses erected at the present time
are of brick. either Of solid brick or
Of brick over frame, or hollow tile.
Brick has a good, substantial appear
snce and has the advantages of pro-
viding a home that is warm In winter
and cool In summer. And at presen,
prices there is little difference in cos:
between any of the materials.
Herewith Is shown a home building
design that is most popular. 1t Is a
tfve-room brick bungalow that is at
~tractive in exterior appearance and has
a room arrangement that Is convenient
and will make a most comfortable
home. While the Vol are small in
number, they are Of good size, and
will provide accommodations for the
average family.
The attractive feature OF the exte-
cior OF this house is the porch. 1t Is
26 by 10 feet In dimensions, which is a

LARGE BANKS
WILL PROBABLY
CONSOLIDATE

While Harvey D. Gibson and Sc
ward Presser, Presidents of the Lib
erty National Bank of New York, and
the Bankers Trust Company, also OF
New York, respectively, confirm the
rumors that there has been much dis
cussion concerning the consolidation
of the banks, both deny the report
that any tangible results have been
obtained.
THE matter of the merger Of the
Bankers Trust Company and the
Liberty National Bank has been the
subject of informal discussions for
some time. The matter has not
reached point where it could be re-
ferred to the board of directors" said
Mr.. Gibson.
Wall Street financiers are watch
ing and waiting patiently for any
move which may be made, for the
consolidation would mean that the
combined institution would be the
third largest banking house in the
country, tagging behind the Nationa
City Bank Of New York and the
Guaranty Trust Company of the same
city. It is suspicioned that the new
institution would make great leap:
for fame in international banking
circles because of its resources which
are needed greatly at the presen
time.
The capital of the merger wouIt
be s25,000,000, and the surplus $25.

LACK OF CARS
rs HANDICAP TO
STEEL BUSINESS

Producers of iron and steel pro-
ducts are having extreme difficulty in
keeping their plants on a steady man
ufacturing basis as result of con-
tinued shortage of railway equipment
with which to remove finished pro-
ducts from mills. Although amend
ments to original orders Of the Inter
state Commerce Commission have re-
moved some of the worst features of
the situation, the extension FOR 80
days from July 81 of the open top car
order is expected to prolong the
troubles of the industry. Such is the
chief feature of the iron and steel in
dustry this week, according to
weekly trade reviews.
'HThe day to day car supply says

lates iron and steel operations, as
this represents a widely huctuating

to keep their plants on steady man

the situation grows worse each week

of the continuing partial stagnation.

THE HUIKS.

The hulk or prison ship was first
used as a place of confinement for
criminals on July Is, 1776, when
party of convicts were imprisoned on
board one of the Thames hulks and
put to work dredging the river. The
hulks were usually old disabled men
of-war though a few ships were con-
structed especially for the purpose
Of serving as floating prisons. After
continuing for many years this form
Of punishment for prisoners was
finally abolished. A convict sent to
the hulks was consigned to living
hell. He was forced to work IL
hours a day and fed with refuse. He
was clad in rags and was very seldom
or never permitted to see visitors or
receive gifts of any kind. Many
desperate battles took place in the
Thames hulks between the prisoners
and their guards but few of the
convicts ever effected their escape
from their floating hell.
