On the crest of the hill of East
Silver avenue which commands q
sweeping view of the Rio Grande
valley is. a little Spanish adobe
"casa" of red tiled roof, cream
adobe walls and iron balustrades
that should be the inspiration of
every home builder in Albuquer-
que. Howard Gruehl, the owner,
and Clyde Morgan, the architect,
have achieved a hpodel small house
of type and material appropriate
to the country, having at the same
time an exceptionally artistic APP
pearance both within ana without.
The house has n southern ex-
posture which allows the winter sun
to stream across tho floor of the
living room through the low
French doors which open on the
balustrades on the front of the
house. The sleeping porch Is or
the north in the west corner of the
house, SO that the early summer
sun cannot disturb the most de-
lectable hours of rest.
The Spanish style of architecture
is carried out in the interior of
the house as well as the exterior.
The big living room which eX-
tends across the entire breadth of
the house. has beamed ceiling.

arched book alcove and curtained

1t also has an arched china alcove
and ceiling beams to match those
Of the living room.
The woodwork Is finished In q
soft grey green of antiquated tone
which is obtained by an acid stain
on soft pine. The ceiling beams
are square with carved ends. The
walls of rough finish plaster are
tinted with warm lavender gray
with ceilings of the same color.
Curtains OF natural colored pongee
hang at the windows. The floors
are of natural oak stain with Nav

The fireplace with its high plas.

ture of the living rooms. The fire
pot Is comparatively small, its
curved arch faced with red brick.

model to hold the logs. Beautiful

AL BUQUERQUE BECOMES
CENTRAL POSTAL CITY
FOR ACCOUNTING WORK

According to orders received re-
Gently by Postmaster Berthold
Spitz, the Albuquerque postoffice
will become a central accounting
office for the entire state, and will
assume the position of state head
quarters for all postal work. The
new system ordered in the postal
departments dispatch will be in
stalled shortly after4the first of the
year.
Postmaster General Will H. Hays
issued the order from his depart
ment, and it is intended to eliminate
much "red tape:"
The order will mean that the Al
buquerque postoffice Will pay
claims on lost or damaged mail and
money orders, settle difficulties OF
other postoffices in the state, estap-
fish a dead letter office, and serve
as n headquarters for all postoffice
supplies.
The new ruling will mean a ire
mendous amount of extra work Tor
the local force, Postmaster Spitz
said today. The local office Is now
a central point in the state LOT
stamps, but the new ruling, VIII
mean that it will be a central ac-
counting station for all divisions or
the department.
4, At. present claims presented IN
Hthe various postoffices in the state
have to- be taken up with the oftlce
Al washington, thus causing delay.
. The local office, after the order be-
comes effective, will need to refer
questions to washington only when
there is a doubt as to what course
to pursue.
MI. Spitz said that he believed
that the new step would greatly I'M
prove the efficiency and accuracy
Of the postal work in the city and
etafn
