The porch is largely an American
invention. Though the Englishman is
proverbially lover of outdoor life. the
typical British house has no porch
This was also true of the first period
of our own Colonial.
This feature Of the house developed
in American building until, in the
third period of the Colonial, we meet
with the great porch, two stories in
height, with heavy entablature, sup
ported by massive columns.
With the passing of the great
house" of the squire and planter our
porches began to assume many forms
and varying positions. Some have not
been altogether happy Many were
inaccurate from an architectural point
of view
In general way we may distinguish
four classes that are recognized as
correct, if properly designed as to de-
tail: Those that are incorporated as
a part Of the house, those included I'M
der the main roof, others that are
built on, and still others that are an
annex to the house itself.
Nationality and the Porch
The American has been inclined to
place his porch on the front of the
house. The Englishman, if he has q
porch, puts it at the rear, as he is
more interested in his garden than in
the street. 1t is a happy compromis
to place the porch at the side of the
house, affording degree of privacy.
Wherever placed, the porch should
add to the appearance of the house. II

Here is where the skill of the archi-

the porch problem. To the trained OBJ.
server the faults of the poorly designed
porch are apparent. Even the unframed
eye senses its unfitness. Often we see
grotesque effects in the porches in oul
towns and cities. We see small house
submerged under massive and over
shadowing porch; or a modest, simple
house striving vulgarly for effect beside

Low Porch Best
The porch should be low, as indeed
the whole house should be. 1t must be
but step or two above the lawn. The
low-lying porch is restful.
Great posts, altogether too heavy fol
the weight of the roof, are an extrava
ganc4 besides being in poor taste. The
details of the porch must give it char
acter dignity and grace.

porch may be used in various ways te

$5O000OO0O Lost to american Home Building Industry
Epe1y Year by Unemployment, TASTE and Other Evils

Half billion dollars year in wages
is being lost in the building industry
through unemployment it is asserted
IN report made public by the COM
mlttee on elimination of waste in in
dustry of the American Engineering
Council, appointed by Herbert Hoover.
Lack of work is declared to be the
outstanding fact in this industry.
whose critical condition following the
war is attributed primarily to high
costs Of construction.
waste, it is said, is causing huge
losses in building which, including all
trades and common labor incidental TO
IT, ranks second among the industries
and contributes to the wealth of the
nation more than $4,000, 100000 YEARLY.
Yearly averages for the past six years
show that 80 per cent Of the activities
of the industry, which employ some
o.o00,O OO mechanics and laborers in a
single year. are devoted to residential
buildings and Is per cent to industrial
buildings, "miscellaneous" covering the
rest.
The chief sources of waste in the
building industry are, according to the
report, irregular employment, ineffi-
cicnt management and wastcful labor
regulations
"The building trade workman" as
serts the report, "is busy on the aver
, age about 100 days in the year, or two
thirds of his time. A few contractors,
individually or associated, are attack
inG this problem with effective results.
The public also must be educated to
the need Of sensible distribution

demands and requirements Idleness,
however, is not due entirely to sea-
sonal demands; strikes and lockouts
are appreciate causes
"Haphazard management in planning
and controlling work and lack of stand
ards, which often double the labor
cost. characterize most construction I'M
dertakings.
Union regulations in the past have
produced enormous losses, through d-
rect or indirect restriction of OUTPUT.
Workmen and contractors, however, are
beginning to appreciate that reduced
output reacts in tremendous fashion
upon themselves.
Cooperation Is Essential
"Greater cooperation between work
men and the employers is an absolute
essential. This cooperation must be
attained before we can approach the
elimination of labor difficulties Such
cooperation, however, is impossible
without the removal Of causes of frc-
ton and the working out of plans to
/ this end.
"A striking fact about the building
industry is that inasmuch as small
buildings require so little capital or
credit, and apparently so little tcchni-
cal ability, the field is full of small
contractors, many Of whom operate for
a few years and then fail.
"Thc war necessitated the calling
into the ranks of unskillcd workers
and into the foreman class men unfit
ted by character or training for their
jobs. The demand continued to exceed
the supply, resulting in bidding for
: men and boosting Of wages. The speed

outs.
Inefficient management is blamed on
failure to furnish continuity of en-
ployment; failure to plan work in suf
ficient detail; lack of proper SEIZED
ules to allow proper coordination Of
scheduling, purchasing. delivery with
Job requirements; lack of standa I'd S
and adequate cost methods as a means
of checking production, high labor
turnover, failure to use proper amount
or type of equipment, general failure
TO develop and use a greater amount of
mechanical equipment and waste of
material through careless handling and
improper plant operations
Where Waste Is Great
Wasteful labor regulations, accord
ing to the report, consist of rcouir-
ing skilled men to do work that could
be performed by unskilled restrict
ing individual incentive through re-
curing uniform wages, limiting the
number of apprentices, excessive re-
duction Of working hours, restricting
output by prohibiting the use of labor
saving devices, and jurisdictional reg
ulations
Large fluctuations in the number of
men employed by representative con-
tractors, indicating also the great
huctuatlon in the volume of business
carried on, are reported. Assuming
that the figures for unemployment, due
TO all causes in the building trades in

unemployment could have been elimi-

between them being equal to their

top provide a place for vines to grow
over.
Garden fences and garden gates of
fascinating STYLES can be made by
combining sawed balusters, lattice,
brackets, drop ornaments. with newels
and ton and bottom rail like those used
on your porch.

How to Select Material
The points that you should watch
for in selecting material for porches
and exterior use may be listed as
follows:
/. The material should be woods that
will withstand weather and take paint
we'll
2. Miters and joints should be true
and clean-cut
3. No crude hammer marks should
appear on finished surfaces.
4. Nails should be carefully set; that
is. their heads driven beneath the sur
face of the wood.
5. White lead and oil should be ap-
piled to all joints.
6. lemons should be left on ends Of
brackets, to give the carpenter means
of securing the brackets to the plates.
Z. All turning" should be clean-cut
and uniform.
8. The material should be clean and
bright.
