cult to estimate with any degree OF
accuracy, because so many factors en-
ter into them. There Is the question
of shortage or abundance of the skill
ed labor required to build a home;
there is the great variance of freight
rates on the materials, and the loca-
ton OF the building site in relation
TO the source Of material supply end
labor. For those reasons 1t never
Is safe to say what a home of a GER
tain design will cost. But 1t is an
easy matter to secure estimates Of
cost. The local architect. the con-
tractors who will be asked TO bid on
the building and the material dealers
all can give a pretty good estimate Of
what a home of a certain size or style

and by consulting them the prospec-
tive builder will get reliable figures.
Without a doubt the most satisfac-
tory method Of securing n home is
to build it. by building the owner
gets a home of the right size for his
family; its exterior appearance and
interior arrangement will conform to
his ideas of how a home should be
laid out, and he will be able to keep
his requirements within the range of
his financial ability.
This Is the year of home building
and every man of family who has
paying the high rents now de-

During the last few years one idea
about home building has peer radical
~ changed. That idea is regarding
the size of the house. There was a
time not so many years ago when
practically every one who built a
house had in it a number of ''spare"
rooms. There was a parlOr on the
hrst f0or that was seldom Used I'M
less there vas company. A spare"
bedroom. or two, usually was incor-
p0rated into the plan for the second
floor. Now there are practically no
spare rooms, while in the cities
many homes and nearly all apart
inentS are constructed so that one or
w rooms do double duty-are used
daytimes as n living room or q din
ing room and by the use of concealed
beds become bedrooms at night.
A home that contains sufficient
room for a ~medium-sized family is the
six-room square bungalow, shown in
the accompanying illustration. This
house contains three good-sized bed
rooms on the second floor, so that
a family of four adults easily can be
accommodated, and by doubling up"
there is room for a guest or two to
stay over night. At the same time
this home is small, being only 81 feet
square. At the present cost of build.
Ing more room or a larger house than
the needs Of the family require is
sheer waste of money, and considera-
bic of it.
