Architects Spring New Plan for
Space Saving In Modern
Apartment House.

One by one we have watched IA
miIiar rooms formerly considered es-
sentiaI, travel the road to oblivion.
Concealed wall beds are threatening
to make the bedroom a memory.
pantries have been eliminated by
kitchen cabinets. dining rooms are
rapidly losing their Identity. and now
comes the day that marks the begin
ming OF the passing of the old familiar
kitchen. Not so many years ago IL
was one OF the large rooms OF the
house with a great deal or waste
space that only Increased the burdens
OF the house wife. With the advance
In building ideas this large kitchen
was replaced by a smaller. more com
pact one with all the features, but a
great saving In space and energy.
Then In this interesting evolution
OF the modern apartment came the
kitchenette, a combination dining
room and Kitchen all In one. The old
six room apartment with TWO bed
rooms. dining room. and Kitchen had
been cut down to two rooms. the liv-
ing room and kitchenette. With each
passing year space has become more
precious--housing Is so scare that
more ways and means must be de-
vised to accommodate more people in
the same amount OF space. The
apartment hotel was the outgrowth
of this development. It's popularity
and efficiency are unquestioned, for
IL has proved a most lucrative ar
rangement as well as very satisfac-
tory from the standpoint OF the ten
ants.
But the demand for more saving.
more convenience, will not be downed
and now we have the last word In
space efficiency, the kitchenette ready
built to be installed where the archi-
tect sees fit. 1t combines the equip
ment and functions of room: in
short, 1t contains a condensed pantry
with tea, coffee and spice jars. -four
bin, table, refuse service where the
garbage can be placed and removed
from the outside by the janitor. parcel
service through which groceries, meat
and milk can be delivered from the
outside without tracking up the
kitchen, and removed in front by the
tenant, work table. rs by 40 inches.
with white steel refrigerator with
icing arrangement on the outside,
capacious shelving, bread board, one
linen drawer, and many other utility
compartments that are included In
the complete kitchen and pantry.
This kitchenette is placed against
the wall between the apartment and
service corridor so that the various
receivers can be opened from the out
side.
The floor plan gives an. excellent
idea OF the layout of an apartment
with the kitchenette installed. The
dining room and kitchen are included
in one room separated by two cases
about four feet high, which hide the
view OF the kitchen from the dining
settee, but also allows full ventila-
tion through the window above the
dining room table.

THEN ASKS TO BE
PLACED IN JAIL

Especial Moune SerVlce.t
Frank Martin, colored, OF 332
Eleventh street, East Moline, beat
his wife last night and then called
at police headquarters and asked to
be locked up. He was accommo-
dated, and this morning his wife,
limping as result of the beating,
visited Magistrate A. A. Niles and
had a warrant sworn out against
her husband charging assault and
battery. The charge, however, is
likely to be changed to that Of as
sault with a deadly weapon.
The woman declared that her
husband had assaulted her with i
revolver and a knife, and that only
by putting up a desperate fight was
she able to prevent the enraged
man from cutting her. The trial
will probably be held tomorrow
morning.
