AT A HOSPITAL

Her Mother Had Followed
Similar Practice, Adopt

Atlanta. Ga. Feb. l4.-Alrs. Eva May
Swain. daughter of Mrs. Alice South,
has admitted to representatives OF the
Georgia board of public welfare IN
Jacksonville that she followed the eX-
ample of her mother in adopting a
number of children as her own and that
she obtained them from some one IN
Atlanta, according to- an announcement
made here to-day by officials OF the
board
Her admission, it was said, followed
the statement Saturday OF Mrs. South
that the children were obtained from
the ST. Mary's maternity hospital, OPP
Grated by Mrs. NJ. T. Mitchell, where
the Atlanta woman herself obtained u
babies, including two pairs OF twins
and "tripIets" that she aided her
daughter in her scheme and that the ia
Their was not aware of the fact that the
children were not his own
Willis H. Swain, husband OF the
daughter of Mrs. South, asserted That
he had always been under the impress
sion the children were their own,
Mrs. Swain, in tears, refused TO dis
cuss the matter" he said. i have not
questioned her closely and while ! can
hardly bring myself to believe she
has deceived me. il makes little differ
ence. as | believe that whatever she did
she did believing it was right.
Mrs. Swain was reticent regarding
the adoption of the children, which she
il said to have obtained ON several oc.
casions during extended visits TO her
mother here. II have notified the Chill
drens Home society of Florida, and
have given them the names OF the chill
dren, where they were born and VINO
their parents are, she said.
When shown messages concerning her
daughters secret addition of children,
Mrs. South said
"Wer. it's every bit true and it's an
other story of mother love; my daugh-
ter grew tired Of lavishing her atfee-
tion- on a house full Of poodle dogs,
and helped her to secretly obtain her
babies and give birth to them in my
home.
Mrs. Swain is the only daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. South and now Is "a
years old, just Is years years younger
than her mother.
In 1905 Mrs. Swain was married to
George Pew, a machinist, of Richmond,
Va, Mrs South said.
"Their marriage was an utter IAN
IRE and after four years they seParat-
ed No children had blessed their
home" the mother continued.
Eva May promptly obtained d.
vorce and one year later, in 1914. she
became the wife of Willis II. Swain of
jacksonville. He was an electrician
for q construction engineering com
panv and had good job. Their mar
ried life was happy from the start and
their little home was one of the most
delightful spots in the whole world
But two wears passed and no children
came. and Eva May was bitterly disap-
pointed.
Like myself, she had a great desire
for children. But through it all, she
loved her husband devotedly Just as

.turn to the left" on the "road Of
trouble"
Do not jump to the conclusion that
these three or four men whom YOU
have SO carefully selected do not know
their business and invite additional fig
ures from Jerry builders" whom you
refused to consider at the outset.
Make up your mind that you have tried
TO- build too much house for your pock-
etbook and go over the plans and speci-
flcations with an idea of determining
what you can do without for the pres
ent.
Rule No. s. DO not reduce the st7uc-
tarct quality Of youg house to fit the
price tow con afford to pay.
You might better do without your
sleeping porch for a year or soxsapon' Il
undermine the soundness of yS6r in !
vcstment by reducing the solid struc-
ture of. your home. A poorly built
mouse Is not an investment, but liza
bility.
There is just one more common error
wish to caution you against in this
connection. Builders are human. ali
reports to the contrary, and it is very
possible that one of the men whom
you have asked to figure will make an
error. Now, if this error is in making
his bid too high, he will automatically
eliminate himsel1 from your considera-
tIon and no harm will be done, but if
ne IS too low, be sure you are fair with
yourself and with him. If he is a
reputable builder and has the neccs-
sary means he will complete the con-
tract even though it entails a loss to
hlmseH;s but men are not marked
strictly. honest" "honest" and "dis-
honest" at birth, and they are hard
to classify afterward. Most men arc
honest by instinct, but there are few
VINO play losing game gracefully.
Mistakes Are Possible
You have asked the opinion of three
OF four experts what the cost of your
house should be. It is fair to pre-
sumo that the average of those opin-
Ions is as near fair cost of the house
as you can get. When any contractor
presents a figure 25 or so per cent
lower than the average it is safe to
assume that he has made an error, and
IN letting the contract to him you are
within the law" but knowingly tax
ing advantage of what you have sufi-
cicnt evidence to prove in his error.
You are outside the Golden Rule
Fairness begets fairness. If the con-
tractor feels that you have taken ad-
vantage of him at the outset there are
many places later on in the construc-
tion where he, also within the law, can
square the account.
Rules No. s. Choose man svhon, uo,.
believe to Be fair to do your building and
be fair s0ith him.
Ii you pursue this course in conpec
ton with the preliminaries to the
erection of your, house you are in
fair way to get the house you want
without the unpleasantncss you have
heard about.

Construction Cost Feature
Of 1ribune's House Designs
Dwellings That Can Be Built for From $1,000 4
$4,000 Specially Planned to Help Solve Prob.
lems Of Those Who Would Erect Own Home

The Tribune presents to-day on this
page the first Of series Of fifty-twc
original designs fer suburban homes
which have been prepared for publica-
tion by William John Cherry, architect
10 East Forty-ffth Street, New York.
It is the purpose Of The Tribune to
present one Of these designs each Sum
day during the coming year, and each
design will be accompanied by def
mite estimate Of cost. carefully pre-
pared by Tucker & Lewis and Smith &
Leo, general contract6rs. These esti-
mates Of cost will apply on construc-
stion Of the houses presented in the ter
ritory within radius Of twenty-five
miles Of New York City, and the esti-
mates will be good for period Of
thirty days following the date Of pub
lication.
representing these fifty-two designs
it as the purpose of The Tribune to
stimulate interest in home ownership
and construction. Most men know COM
parativcly little about building, and it
probably is because of such lack of un-
derstanding that few can be induced
to undertake operations. Because of
their own lack of understanding most
men would be inclined to leave the So
luton of the home building problem
to architects and contractors, and they
would fear the outcome.
E Most Interesting Event in Life
Home building is not fearful thing,
but, rather, when properly done, one
of the most interesting incidents in
the average mans life. Generally,
when home building operations result
unsatisfactory It is uue TO lack. of un-
derstanding, and might easily be
avoided If an owner would but take the
same time and trouble to study the
subject as he does when he buys an
automobile or makes any other consid-
cradle investment.
With the idea of placing in pos
session of its readers the kind of in
formation that will be helpful in solv-
ing home-building problems, The Trib-
une has asked the assistance of experts
from the various departments of build
ing who have agreed to give through
the columns of its paper from time to

Good Architect and Reliable Builder
Make Home Building Joyous Experience

administer the investment of large
amount of money.
Any owner would laugh at the firm
that lets the Office boy do the purchas.
ing in order to save a purcha sing
agents salary, but the same owner
with the smile still on his face, will
permit the difference of two or three
hundred dollars to influence him in
selecting the man to guide. him in the
investment of twenty or thirty thous-
and dollars.
Rule No. 1. Be sure you are not
penny acise and pound foolish in the
selection Of your architect.
Candor with Architect
After the selection of the architcc,
the owner should make sure that he is
sincere with himself and his architec,
in determining his needs and just how
elaborate q home he can afford. Many
men go to-~an architect and say tha,
they just want simple little home of
eight rooms and bath, absolutely the
plainest of everything, and ask the
architects opinion of the cost of such
house. This opinion they use as
their budget. Then the architect pre-
pares sketches and presents them ia
the owner for his approval. The owner
being human, is afraid to say that he
does not understand, so he looks at the
plans, forms picture in his mind OF
what he thinks the plans mean and
assumes that that is the house that is
going to be produced. This very often
is an entirely different house from the
one the architect has represented on
mis- plans.
Rule No. 9. Be sure you understand
everything on the architects plans be-
fore you O X them. Do not be afraid to
ask questions.
From the plans the owner and archi-
tcct proceed to the specifications and
to these the owner usually adds a num-
Der OF embellishments such =; double
floors, wood wainscotting, bookcases,
special cabinets and special electric
light treatment. In most cases the
owner does not ask the architects
opinion of the cost of these additions
and fails to make any mental addition
to the architects opinion of the cost
OF the simplest kind Of house."
Changes Affect Cost
Do not fool yourself as to the ap-
proximate cost of your house. When
you make change in the specifications
ask your architect what in his opinion
this change will add to or deduct from
the cost, and add or deduct the amount
from the approximation already given.
Many sad chapters in the history of
house building are written because the

prospective owner fooled himself in the
belief that he could GET 100 per cent
house for 80 per cent Of the cost. In
building as in everything else, this
cannot be done.
Remember that architecture Is a pro
ffession with many sides to it, and it is
Impossible for an architect to keep
himself SO we'll posted in building costs
that he can tell you exactly what price
builder will want to guarantee the
production of the building. The archi-
tects estimate is merely his profes-
slonal opinion of what the building
shouldfcost.
The average architect does not claim
to be able to guess the cost of build
ing within 10 or Is per cent, so be sure
that you reserve that factor of safety
when you fit the house you want into
what you can afford to pay.
Rule No. 3. Do not try to build more
house than you can afford.
Selecting the Contractor
The plans and specifications having
been determined upon, the next uues-
ton for consideration is the selection
of contractor, which is second only in
Importance to the selection of the
architect. The first step in this situa-
tlon is selecting the man whom you de-
sire to figure on this work. This list
is too often made up of the names Of a
number of firms that have reputation
for being Cheap" This is absolutely
the wrong way to 60 at this problem.
This type Of contractor should be
avoided just as religiously as the sensi-
1T is essential for the owners best
interest that there be absolute coop
Grafton between his architect and build
er. The owner in most cases is not
competent to Judge which builders arc
best qualified to build his house. He
should be guided by his architect in his
selection of the list of bidders. If he
has not confidence enough to trust to
the architects Judgment in this matter,
he should stop and change his archi-
tect, even should his action entail the
paying of an additional architectural
fee.
Rutc No. .4 BE surc you hapc man,
1cIlo kno1cs builders select your list Of
bidders.
Not alone is lit necessary to avoid
the dishonest contractor, but it is also
essential to select the builder fitted
for the operation you have in mind. In
other words, avoid having an "over-
all manufacturer" figure on your
dress Clothes" and, while it is not as
dangerous to the investment, it is folly
to have "dress clothes manufacturers
figure on your "overalls."
The Road to Trouble
Even when the. foregoing precautions.
have all been taken it often happens,
through some popularity in the market
at the time of taking bids, that the pro-
posals you receive from the bidder run
over or too close to the dead line" set
by your financial limitations. This is
the cross-road at which many men
