Charming Bungalows and Small Houses
 Building Service tor Home Bniders

F you are thinking of building, we have pictures and floor plans of more than hundred modern Face Brick Bungalows and Small Houses all the way from three to eight rooms-that will interest you.
 We have also made arrangements whereby we can get for you at a nominal cost, the complete working drawings and specifications all the plans needed to build these houses and also the masonry quantity estimates.
 These houses are the work of archi- tects who have specialized in home building, and who are experts in building economically Through the use of stock items and standard di- mensions of materials, waste has practically been eliminated.
 Special attention has been given to make these houses attractive = to give them real architectural merit, even though they are small. The interior arrangements are planned to meet present day living conditions, to include modern conveniences, and to utilize the floor space to the best advantage. Take the sN-room bungalow illustrated above. The architect has produced beau tiful, interesting and dignifed exterior with out piling on lot of meaningless ornament. Its architectural merit lies in it's mass and proportion, the pleasing lines and surfaces of the hipped and tiled roof, and the care full attention that has been given to the details. Note especially the attractive en- trance shown in the detail drawing.

The interior of the house is much more spacious than one would think possible. The six rooms are all adequate in size and their arrangement is exceptionally conven- ient and economical. There is not an inch of waste space. The three bed rooms at the back of the house, each with large closet. communicate with the bath by common hall in which are found convenient closets for linen and wraps.
 The kitchen, just back of the dining room and convenient to the front door, is com pact and well appointed It has an enclosed porch from which the stairs to the basement descend. A fine sleeping porch could easily be added at the side of one of the corner bed rooms. The basement has a laundry heater, coal bins and vegetable cellar, be- sides general storage spaces

 Don't be misled by the notion that a Face Brick house is too expensive. It costs very little more than wood house, and the many savings that go with it make a Face Brick house the most economical in the long run.

BIRMINGHAM STEEL. RESALE IS ORDERED.
Price Paid by Shipping Board Held Inadequate by
 Court
Recent sale of the properties of the

Recent sale of tho properties of the Birmingham Steel corporation bank rupt, to the United States Shipping board, has been set aside by Referee in Bankruptcy. Emmett o'Nesl. Ground for ruling IS that the bid was inadequate.
 The property will be again offered for sale April IT.
 The bid at sale to shipping board was s7,0O0 cash and assumption of liens against the company. It Is understood that the current credi- tors of the company and salaries due were not provided for in the bid.
 Next bid will have to be higher than the one made at first sale.
 The plant Is modern structural steel mill with an excellent record both as builder of shapes for ships and later in making structural steel for office and hotel buildings, bridges and the like.
 The plant was located by Leon Britain and associates during the war and was government aided. The operators have consistently claimed that nothing stood in the way of con = tinuance of successful operations ex- cept the tle-up with the government and inability to secure settlement with the chipping board.

Republican Absentecism
(Washin gton Post)

' W WI oSo
The situation in the Senate at this
moment constitutes an indictment of
the good sense of the Republican
party. At this moment, when Con-
gress is under the fire of criticism,
and the record of the Republican
party is under scrutiny, when mil
lions OF voters are making up their
minds on the evidence presented, the
Republicans of the Senate are making
Il record of absenteeism and neglect
Of public business that will surely
return to plague them.
The tariff bill is before the Senate.
1t should either be passed or defeated.
The debate upon the measure is half
hearted on the part of Republicans
and of filibustering character on
the part of Democrats. The Demo-
cratic strategy is to delay the pas
sage of the bill as long as possible,
in order that the Republican party
may not reap any credit at the cleo
ton for the benefits that may have
accrued under the law. Obviously
it should be the strategy of the Re-
publicans, if they believe in the bill.
to push it through to carly enact
ment. SO that the country may feel
the benefits and reward the party by
electing a Republican Congress.

could be gained by prompt action

THE LYNcHlNG DISGRACE

Tho Dyer anti-lynching bill now
before Congress, but which good
authorities declare to be uncorsti-
tutional, would penalize the county
in which the lynching occurs. If this
objection should prevail it might
under some conditions warrant defer
ring the matter altogether for the
present. But those who have tasted
the blood of the lynching as con-
Quoted in the South will not refrain.
Instead, during the past few weeks
they have been defantly active. and
fiendishly brutal.
The details reported respecting
these murders are horrible and show
that the worst feature of the crime,
the brutalizing OF the community in
which it occurs, is developing alarm
ingly. The Boston Transcript urges
that national control and suppression
of this evil are necessary and if
congress is uIldDle 10 ma remedy
there should be an amendment to the
Constitution, which by the way
would, of course, have to be ratified
by three fourths of all the states.
In the light Of the statistics of
lynching could they well refuse?
These show that during the period
1889 to 1918 there were lynched in
this country 1924 human beings of
whom 25o2 were negroes. 80 of them
women. OF this total the North
lynched c19. the West 1885, Alaska and
unidentified localities Il and the
South 1854. Is the South proud of
it? If not may dependence be placed
on Southern states to assist in pass
ing an amendment or would they find
some pretext for opposing it, such
as giving too much power to central
government?
