Planning to build home now is at
its height. That is, those who are 60
ing to have new house this year are
busily engaged scanning plans of all
kinds, with the desire to select the
sort of nome they will build, so that
the contractor may get it started at
the earliest possible moment.
The selection of the home building
design is one of the most important
steps in securing a home. For upon
the proper picking of the design Of
both the exterior and the interior de-
pends the happiness and comfort of
the family after the new house is oc-
cupied.
There are several things that should
be considered in selecting the design
and securing the plans for new home.
First, how much money is available
Second, how many are there in the
family, and third, the size and loca-
ton of the lot.
A house builder who has a lot can
go ahead with his building plans
through the aid of the local bank, real

FORTUNE FOR SIGN PAINTERS
Engineers Have Searched Long for
Man Believed to Possess Most
Valuable Secret

The living worth of good work is al
ways recognized, even in small things.
Sign painters do not usually achieve
wealth or fame, yet, it is declared,
fortune awaits the man who painted
a sign at Harper's Ferry, on the Bal
timore & Ohio railroad, shortly after
the completion of the line at that
point.
For years the engineers have been
trying to ascertain who mixed the
paint and applied it to the sign, which
was placed in position at the Harper's
Ferry station many years ago. The
summers heat and winters storms
have in no way dimmed the luster of
the paint used to make the words
"Harper's Ferry" They stand out as
boldly as the day they were formed by
the artists brush.
The wood around the letters has
been worn about one-sixteenth of an
inch by sand beaten against it by
fierce winds, but the letters have with
stood the elements.
1t is asserted that no paint manu-
factured nowadays is equal in dura-
bility to that which was applied to
the old sign, and if the person who
mixed it is still living and will take
advantage of the secret he possesses
as to its composition it is said he can,
10y engaging in the paint-manufactur-
ing business, soon accumulate wealth.

estate loan broker, or building asso-
citation without much capital. But the
home should not cost more than four
times the value of the site. No more
room should be planned than that
which will be sufficient to house the
members of the family comfortably.
Extra space works but a few days of
the 1865 in a year, and the cost is all
out of proportion to the benefits de-
rived from it. If the lot is wide and
shallow, the house should be planned
so that it is wider than deep. If the
reverse is the case, the house should
be narrow and extend back the re-
quired distance to get sufficient room
But in no case should the new home
be out of harmony with the neighbor-
ing houses.
The Importance of considering the
points enumerated is that there always
is the possibility that the house will
be for sale in the future, and it can
and should be planned so that it will
be a good investment, as well as a
comfortable home.
One of the most popular bungalow
designs is the white bungalow. OF
course, the color of paint used is op-
tional, but white bungalows are

one, and the family that builds from it
will have a bungalow of which they
may be proud.
Building home is undoubtedly the
most satisfactory way to get a place
in which to live. Not only is the
home a person builds for himself and
family great deal more satisfactory
than the one designed to suit the ideas
of some other builder, but it will con-
form to his financial resources a great
deal better. Fix upon a sum that
can be put into a home, and then Sc
cure a home for that sum. That, in
a sentence, sums up the wise policy of
majority of home builders.
There will be a great amount of
home building this year, and the
quicker the plans are selected and
building started the better.

SOMETHING TO WORK WITH
Young Man Perfectly Willing to Prac-
tice Economy If Old Gentleman
Would Supply Materials.


There is well-known banker
whose only son does not, his father
contends, appreciate the value of a
dollar by about 90 cents. A short time
ago the youth approached the old gen.
tleman with request for a consider
able sum in addition to his regular al
lowance.
Look here. my boy" the father
said severely. "You do not seem to
realize that you spend q great deal of
money-throw it away, in fact. Don't
you think it about time that you be-
gan to economize q bitT'
''Yes, / do, father" the young man
responded earnestly. "Been thinking
just that-fine thing. economy; pro-
vide against rainy day, and all that
sort of rot. I'd love to start right in
economizing, but / can't, because l
haven't cent to economize. If you'll
just pass over that thousand, how
ever, will begin, right away"

Grandma Evidently Didn't Think
Highly of the Doings at Women's
Debating Club.

Tiny Timothy had to be very quiet
on certain days in the week. Sunday
mornings were bad because then ia
ther had to study his lesson for the
afternoon Sunday school. Tuesday
evenings he had to tiptoe around
while brother John studied his lodge
ritual. Friday evenings sister Nellie
went to debating club and it was
often preceded by the last look at her
part in the debates.
Then one day mother announced
that she had been invited to join a
bridge club. Every one was anxious
for her to join but little Timothy,
who sighed: "Oh, mother, now will
you have to study, too, before you go
there? What do they recite at your
club?"
Everybody smiled but dear old
grandmother, who did not approve of
bridge clubs. ooh, she won't have to
study much," she retorted tartly.

owner the satisfaction of knowing
that he has an exceptionally attractive
home.
This house is nearly square, having
a frontage of SO feet 6 inches, and
depth of 81 feet. The hip roof, the di-
vided windows, the porch set into the
corner, and the pergola at the end
over the drive to the garage all are
good features. The bungalow is OF
frame construction set on a concrete
foundation below grade and brick
foundation of about two and one-half
feet above grade.
How the rooms are arranged and
their dimensions are shown by the floor
plan that accompanies the perspec-
tive. The entrance off the porch leads
into the living room, which extends
across the front of the house. This
room is II feet wide and 20 feet 6
inches long. An open fireplace at the
end of the room and the three extra
| long windows will make this a CHEEKY
sitting room.
A second entrance from The porch
leads to the dining room, which is con-
nected with the living room by a
double cased opening. The dining
room also is of good size-12 by 1e
feet-and has three large windows.
Back of the dining room is the kitch-
en-, IL feet 6 inches by IL feet, and
off the kitchen are a pantry and a
breakfast nook The latter is a con-
venience that all housewives like, as
it saves many steps and much early
morning work. The breakfast nook,
as here designed, is unusually good,
as it has windows on two sides, and
is a cheerful place for the least at.
tractive meal of the day.
A second door from the dining room
leads to a short hall, out of which
opens the bathroom and the two bed.
rooms. The bathroom is so located
that it is convenient to all the rooms
of the bungalow. One of the bed.
rooms is a corner room, II feet G
inches by 9 feet 6 inches; the other is
slightly larger, II feet 6 inches by 1C
feet.
The. basement extends under the
whole house and provides space fol-

dry, and other storage.
Considered from the several stand
points of comfort, beauty and cost, this

CHINESE GODDESS OF MERCY
Legend Popular in the Yellow Land
Because 1t illustrates Quality
of FiliaI Piety.

The Chinese tell an interesting story
relating to their Goddess of Mercy"
who was the third daughter of the
king Mas Tsong. Her two elder sis
ters were married early, and when
her turn came the third refused to
merry, having already given up the
temporal pleasures and devoted her
entire devotion to preparation for the
next life. The king then sent his
daughter to the temple, where she
was asked to draw water and cook
dinner for 500 monks. But this
seemed to be an easy task, for when
she went to cook, she found every
thing ready for her, dragon being
sent from heaven to help her.
The king was angered and ordered
the temple to be burned but the prin-
cess spat blood into heaven and a
new temple fell down to earth. This
angered the king still more and he
ordered his daughter killed and that
her body be eaten by the tigers. AS

time went on, the king was afflicted
with leprosy, none of the doctors be-
ing able to cure him. A beggar monk
later came and told the king he could
cure him. Upon being given d trial
the monk said that the disease could
only be cured by the ash of the
burned hand and eye of person who
was on a certain mountain.
When the desired hand and eye was
finally found, the queen recognized
them as her daughters. The king was
cured by the ashes of this hand and
eye, which made the people honor the
name of the princess as the Goddess
of Mercy" for her untold sufferings
and her filial piety to her cruel father.
