Knew There Was Trouble
II had known that there was trouble
! with thc control Of the ship. aud it was
impossible to correct II after II was
discovered.
''The first intimation we had that
there was trouble was when we saw
the nose of the ship down. We went
back TO see what caused 1t and found
the control was not working
."Everything possible was done 10

even keel again. Captain Mabry gave
orders TO shut off all motors. The last
four were shut off The forward motor
was running. 1t is possible that the
engineer was so thrown out of his posi-
tion that he coukl not see the signals
on his dial.
Every effort to get the Roma on an
oven keel proved uAalcsa and she

Captain Reed said that it was n

FARM HOUSE OF
COLONIAL DESIGN
Type Of Home That Brings City
Comforts to the Farm.
ITS SIMPLE DIGNITY APPEALS
Hospitable Character Of Design Like
This Is In Harmony With Rural
surroundings-Has Six Rooms
and Large Porch.
BY WILLIAM A. RApFoRp

Mr.. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building, for the readers of this
paper. On account of his wide experience
as Editor, Author and Manufacturer he
is, without doubt the highest authority
on all these subjects. Address all inquiries
to William A. Radford, No. 1877 Prairie
avenue, Chicago, ILL.,, and only inclose
two-cent stamp for reply.
There are two qualities which we
might say are almost inherent in farm
homes, at least they are always ex-
pected-hospita1ity and informal COM
fort. There are some other qualities,
perhaps not so good, which have been
associated with farm homes for many
years but which, happily, are gradually
losing ground. They are poor water
supply and bathing facilities, lighting
and heating. Thanks to inventive
genius and American progressivism,
running water is now the regular
thing and many farm homes boast Of
electric lighting and heating plants.
But aside from these accessories,
the farm home has always been a
place Of real but unpretentious COM
Vernon Parish Democrat., 1922-05-18

equipped with range, sink, built-in
cupboards and work table. Of course
this house has running water fur
nished by water-supply system. Just
outside the kitchen is a rear hall
through which the workers can enter
the house and wash up in the lavatory
off this hall.
On the second floor are three bed
rooms, one of good size, 13 by "a feet.
The two rear bedrooms are smaller
and each room has the advantage of
windows on two sides. There is a high
attic with windows which can be used
for extra sleeping rooms. These can
be fitted up when needed for little
cost-all that is needed is some wall
board for partitions and ceiling.
The house is 25 feet deep and 35
feet wide, not including the porch,
which is another Z feet. So, you can
see an unusual amount of room and
comfort is really provided in rea-
sonably sized space. The excellent
room arrangement is responsible for
this.
1t is quite apparent why the colonial
type of home should be getting popu-
lar in rural sections. 1t provides what
the farmers need and want in their
homes.
Vernon Parish Democrat., 1922-05-18

sized cellar needed for heating Eaant
fuel, vegetable and fruit storage.
Porch room is one of the essentials
Of the farm home. No real farm is
complete without a large porch. To
satisfy this requirement a large living
porch has been added on to one end
of this home and it has been screened
in to form a delightful lounging place
for the farmer and his family after a
hard days work out in the hot sun.
At night this porch can be used for
outdoor sleeping. This porch is "a by
feet, and is covered by a balcony ac-
cessible to the large master bedroom.
OF course the entrance is one Of the
most pleasing features of the colonial
design and we believe It lives up to
its true traditions in this case. Two
permanent porch seats have been built
alongside the little landing, adding a
hospitable touch that will not be de-
MED. This door opens into a small
vestibule or reception hall which
opens on one side into the living room,
on the other into the dining room.
Stepping into the living room, one
finds himself in a great room, 13 by "a
feet, with big open brick fireplace in
the center of the room, the magnet
which draws on cold and chilly nights.
The room is spacious, emphasizing
those essentials to comfort and happi-
ness-light, cheer and warmth. 1t has
windows on three sides and also has
a door opening into the rear hall. If
you have not noticed it before this it
should be called to your attention.
Note the lightning rod equipment on
the roof, another important piece of
equipment on not only the farm home
but other farm buildings as well.
The dining room is 13 by IL feet,
also quite bright and well lighted 1t
is connected with the kitchen by q
passageway through an intervening
pantry in which an outdoor icing re-
frigerator is installed. The kitchen is
typically modern, in striking contrast
to the usual size Of the farm kitchen.
