~ TUCCO is one of the most favored materials for home ~ building and today's design - shows the effective use of this material in home construction. Stucco. however, should never be used dead white but should be sdighkly cream colored or tinted with some harmonizing shade to soften the effect to the eye and to make the house less glaring and conspicuous. As @nown here, this very practical eig.,t room house is constructed of frame with brick veneer to window sill course. Above that is the cement stucco. The roof is shingied and can be stained either M moss green or a dull red, prefer ably the latter shade if the stucco is to be made a delicate ivory or cream color-
 The first floor of this house is one of the most attractfvely and prac- tioally arranged plans that has been designed. For instance, picture the glassed in sun porch full of blocni- ing flowers, plants and feathery ferns. then think how attractive would be the view through the dim ing room, furnished in rich mahog- any, to the sun porch abfoom with flowers and gay with bright colored chintz hangings and furniture to the visitor upon entering the living room.

 Sleeve'' Slayer

Chicago.-PoIice and detectives to- day are securing Oak Park and ad- jacent suburban territory for shirt sleeve slayer" who entered the home of Orvil Watkins, killed Thelma Watkins six months old, as she lay asleep in her crib, and then set fire to the house.
 A man in shirt sleeves was seen to enter the house a few minutes after Mrs. Watkins had departed for a real estate office a block away to pay the rent. A child watching at the win dow of a neighboring house saw the man run out of the house shortly after and a moment later there came an explosion and the house burst into flames.
 Bremen entered and took the baby from the crib, but found it dead with a deep. gash showing on its skull The only explanation offered is that the man who committed the deed was insane.
