herd of Elks began TO gather their
victims for todays festivities, and
before 9 o'clock every convenient

that the line Of march was taken
up.
In the cavalcade were many cages
housing the victims who were com
relled to perform circus stunts for the
benefit of the gaping populace, and
gave their friends the first opportu
nifty they ever had of witnessing
their versatility, this was a feature
Of the days festivities that was
thoroughly enjoyed by the huge
crowds that witnessed the outdoor
part Of the arrangements.
Returning to headquarters the can
didates were taken over the hurdle.
and from the sound emitting from
the hall it was evident that nothing
was overlooked to make the proper
impression on the candidates as to thu

tect has specified to be covered with
prepared canvas deck cloth, making
the floors less noisy and more easily
kept clean. Each of the bedrooms has
series Of closets adjoining 1t. These
closets are to be equipped with space
saving clothes-hangers, which save a
great deal of closet space and keep the
clothes In excellent condition.
The basement extends under the
whole of the building proper. Here
are located separate rooms for the
heating plant the fuel storage, cold
storage of fruits and vegetables, and
space for the storage Of tools and 9TH
er garden and lawn utensils.
One of the strongest attractions of
this design is that 1t can be built at
comparatively low figure. The
shape of the house lends itself to eco
nomical construction; the dimensions
are not large considering the number
and sizes of the rooms, and the mate
rails are medium priced.
One of the first questions that home
builders, or rather those expecting
to build, ask nowadays when they look
at a home design is: "What will II
COST" Building costs are not stable;
they are more In one location than In
another, depending on the labor stu
alton, the distance from the source OF
material supply and other local condi-
lions. 1t is an easy matter, however,
to get fair estimate Of cost from the
local architect, contractor and mate
rial dealer. All of these men are In
touch with market prices Of materials
and labor. and can give a pretty &C
curate estimate, IL they are convinced
that the inquirer Is in earnest.
In this connection 1t win be found
that the Dutch Colonial type Of home
IL one Of the least expensive types OF
homes to build. Also the Dutch Co
lonial, to the writer's way Of thinking.
is one Of the best, both from exterior
appearance and interior arrangement
In other words, they give the home
builder the very best In comfort, con-
yenience and satisfaction.

No type of home architecture Is more
popular with present-day home build
ers than the Dutch Colonial house.
While the name, Dutch Colonial, sug-
gests architecture of a couple of ceA-
turtles ago, modern architects have TAX
en the beauty of the old design and
added to 1t the comforts and conven-
fences of the twentieth century. =
Exterior balance that denotes the CO.
lonlal and the, roof lines of the Dutch
architectural school, are about all that
is left of the two types of houses from
which the name is secured. But this
sort Of home is popular, and many hun

IustratiOn. In this design the colonial
balance is maintained both In the ex-
terror and interior. It will be noted
by comparing the exterior view and
the floor plan, that accompanies It
that the entrance hall Is placed In the
center Of the building; that the win
dows on either side are duplicates, and
that there is similar open porch at
either end. This same balance Is car
ried out on the second floor. The
gambrel cut of the roof, and the long
sweep that the roof makes to the Sec

together this is a mighty handsome

This house is of standard frame con-
