SPACE Conserved
| IN MODERN HOMES
compactness and Simplicity
Are Main Factors in Pres
ent Construction.

The day of the big house for the
man Of moderate circumstances is
gone. The whole tendency in pres
ent-day home planning is toward
compactness. simplicity, labor-saving
in construction and housekeeping and
Standardization in building opera
tions. All these things are obtain
able In a well-designed home without
Aacriflcing home comforts. canven-
ience or beauty.
For example. bedrooms are smaller
than In grandma's time. but In the
modern home more thought is given
to ventilation, cross circulation OF air
and plenty OF air Kitchens are
smaller and are planned scientifically
to save steps and labor; living rooms
are opened up and are larger.
Dining Room1 Eliminated.
In many small homes the lower
floor, with the exception of the kitch-
en-which Is considered>&hew workshop
of the home and therefore requires
separation-is opened up into what
appears like one large living area.
Even though the home is small. such
treatment lends an atmosphere OF
spaciousness.
In many small homes dining rooms
are eliminated. Breakfast rooms are
popular and arc taking their place.
A dining room occupies large
amount of space for the amount Of
time 1t is used each day. Some small
homes provide living room large
enough so that one end can be used
for dining room purposes.
In present-day home planning
floor space Is divided up on the basis OF
the amount of service rooms provtd-
ed, as compared with what they cost
to build and maintain. For instance,
the one-time. popular den has almost
passed. Its upkeep and overhead ex-
pense is considered too great for the
amount Of service it gives and the
space occupied In a small home.
Ceilings Are Lower.
Ceiling heights are lower than for
merly. This means a saving in heat
ing expense. Built-ln furniture is
popular and practical. Bullets. book
cases, china closets. kitchen cabinets,
inglenooks and seats are permanent
and harmonize with the architectural
character of the simpliied home
They do not require moving In order
to sweep and clean. They are prac-
tically dirt and dust proof They
make housekeeping less tiresome..
Simplicity and compactness. whicn
permit comforts. convenience and
beauty at lowered cost. are the MOD
ern tendency in home building.

EFFICIENCY IN HOME LIGHTING
AS URGENT AS ATTRACTION

Efficient iliuminationsshould always
be the guiding principle in lighting
the home. Plenty of light where 1t
is most likely to be needed should be
the aim. Handsome and decorative
lightning fixtures lend attractiveness,
but appearance should never be given
preference over utility.
Too much thought cannot be given
the subject Of lighting a home, since
actually the comfort and convenience
OF the family depends in large meas
ure upon the lighting system. More
over. certain cases OF eye strain are
due to poorly lighted rooms
No doubt. you have at some time or
other entered rooms where the light
came from beautifully shaded lamps.
But when you wanted to find some:
thing YOU fumbled and STUN bled
around In the dim half-light; when
you tried to read you strained your
eyes. Then, again, perhaps you re-
member other rooms where the glar-
ing light was asunsoftened as In a
store display window; where you felt
1t mercilessly picking out every de-
feet In the room and in your own
face and dress. Naturally. the ideal
illumination falls between these two
extremes.
Charm In Right Lighting.
The right lights can make your
rooms into charming pictures: can
create an atmosphere of rest and calm
and repose. And it need cost very
little to do it. But. at the same time.
In choosing and placing your electric
fixtures make sure they will really
give the illumination you should have.
The chief source OF artificial light
In most rooms is generally the CEN
trail lighting fixture. In the living
room, this central fixture should H.
illuminate the entire room. not merely
throw a circle of light beneath it.
and leave the rest Of the room in
shadow. What is called the semi
indirect lighting fixtures are designed
to do this. The light in the translu-
cent bowl is reflected to the ceiling,
which In turn reflects it back down.
ward throughout the room. SO as to
produce a soft, agreeably diffused
light.
Any central lighting in the living
room should be supplemented by table
lamps, for readipg or sewing. and to
give that warm. home!ike look to a
room that only lamps can give.
In the dining room. II II is desired

will do this. 1t is question. how
ever. whether such result ls deSir-
able from the standpoint of adequate
illumination. Uniform lighting of the
dining room adds cileerfulness to that
room as well as to others. Indirect
lighting has its place in the dining room
as well as the living room.
There are such attractive fixtures
designed today for bedrooms that
about the only difficulty is to make a
choice between them. Brackets and
wall fixtures. colored delicately to

are decorative. and at the same time
give proper illumination.

COMMISSION AT
 WORK ON PACT

SANTA FEE, N. NJ, Nov. 13.-To- days session of the Colorado river commission meeting at Bishops lodge, near here, was devoted to a discus sion of technical questions including acreage and the estimated flow of the river and when the commission finished it's work to night, Herbert Hoover. its chairman announced pro- gress had been made. The commis- sion is meeting in executive session. Details of discussions were not made public.
 The commission held two meetings today, a morning and an afternoon session. Members are devoting them selves entirely to the task of formu- 1ating a pact and have declined many invitations to banquets and other entertainments. Sessions are last ing from two to three hours twice day and are devoted exclusively to discussions relative to the pact.
 The commission is probably one of the hardest bodies of it's kind that has convened in recent years. Each member fully appreciates the big task before the commission and is bend ing every effort to reach an agree ment.
 CHdiI ndn dOONer tOnlSnC pOlnLeu out that the position of the Imperial valley of California made it impera- tive that pact be reached at the earliest possible moment to guarantee flood protection to that district
 The people of the Imperial valley must have quick help to protect them from serious flood conditions" de clared MT. Hoover
 MT. Hoover said he was confident the commission would be able to formulate satisfactory agreement Other commissioners also were well satisfied with the progress already | made. No statements were avail able as to how long the sessions would extend

u. S. COURT TO OOPEN IN PHOENIX MONDAY BUT
 MAY BE POSTPONED

PHOENIX. Nov. 1.-The Novem- Der session of the United States dis trict court will open in Phoenix next Monday, but whether any cases will come before the court remains un- certain, as D. N. Willetts, chief de putty United States marshal, has been instructed to adjourn the session in case no federal judge is present.
 Judge William H. Sawtelle, ac- companied by Paul Dickerson, de- putty clerk of the court, left Tucson late Sunday for Globe, where the fall term was opened yesterday A very heavy docket must be disposed of at Globe before the court can be adjourned and it is thought likely by local federal officials that this will necessitate a pbstponement of the Phoenix term.
 A total of 63 prohibition law vio- kations cases will be brought before the session of the court in the min ing city, together with a large num- Der of other indictments, according to F. H. Bernard, district attorney, who, with Francis D. Crable, deputy district attorney, will prosecute the cases.
 Judge Sawte4le has intimated that he would like to have some disposi= ton made of the cases on the pres ent Globe court calendar and, if his desire is carried out, it is thought that the term here will not be ushered in much before the second week m December.
