DEVICE SAVES STEPS
AND THE LIGHT BILL

Winter will soon be here with all
its running up and down the cellar
stairs to see whether the furnace
is functioning properly. This ne
cessitates the switching on and off
of cellar lights by way Of the
switch buttons placed at the head
Of the cellar stairs.
Convenient light switches at the
head Of the cellar stairs so that
the lights below may be lit from
above is a comfort in any house
hold. But even with this the care
less person may leave the lights
burning below for hours at a time.
To guard against such accidents
ingenious man has invented and
placed on the market two useful
reminders that the lamps are sti1I
going in the cellar. One Is the
little red pilot light which burns
when the light IL on. The other is
the Ight-buzzer which sings its
song OF warning as long as lights
remain "a. Little current is con.
sumed by either device.

MODERN HOMES
NEED CLOSED
PORCRES
Superiority Of shut-in Kind.
Over Open Style for AII-Year
Use Is Shown.

Enclosed porches have become
almost a necessity In the modern
home, and their popularity Is JUST
fled.
An open porch is, at best, but
shelter that can be used but snort
time each year. the rest of the year
the porch remains idle, but 1t must
be kept in order and repair, just
the same.
With the enclosed porch we have
what is really another room added
to the house, and, when the win
dows are properly designed, the eX-
posure is delightful, plenty OF sun
shine during the winter months and
plenty of air during the summer.
With an open porch one must re.
treat inside the house during =
storm and also move al OF the Iur-
niture inside, while In the case OF
the enclosed porch It IS Simply
necessary to close the windows on
one or two sides. Temporary sash
and screen enclosures for porchee
are seldom satisfactory, they are not
tight at the Joints, etc, and there
fore the porch cannot he properly
heated, and it is difficult to keep
out the wind and storm on account
of the light flimsy construction
almost always adopted for these
temporary enclosures. The enclos'
ure should be built as a part or the
house and just as substantial IN
every respect.
In the house shown herewith, two
enclosed porches are provided,
large one that opens from the living
roonn. and q smaller one that con-
meets with the dining room-a
breakfast porch.
A door can also be provided from
the breakfast porch to the pantry,
80 that meals can be served in the
porch without disturbing the main
dining room.
THE living room occupies the fun
half of the main house on one side
of the hall, with the dining room
and kitchen in the opposite half.
The pantry and kitchen entry are
placed in the wing at the rear of
the breakfast porch. This arrange
ment gives good relation in the
size and location Of the various
rooms.
On the second floor are three bed
rooms, two bath rooms and plenty
of closets.
Cost about $11.5oo.

Virginia Association Admits
Mrs. Ruby Lee Minar to
Membership.

The Virginia Real Estate Associa-
ton has admitted it's first woman
member. Ruby Lee Minar, Wash
ington real estate woman, was voted
in just prior to the recent State
convention which was held in
Lynchburg, Va.
The decision to admit women on
an equal basis with men was in
recognition Of the important part
women lately have come to have in
the real estate business and was in
line with the progressive policy
adopted by many other State and
local associations.
In the development and sale Of
Lee Heights on the Lee highway,
Mrs. Minar has engaged in a sub
division project on a scale probably
never before undertaken by q worn-
an. Lee Heights comprises about
400 acres in the Country Club Sec
ton of Arlington county and this
great tract is being converted :nro
attractive building sites.
The sales campaign began July
1, and already q number of attrac-
tive homes are in process OF con.
struction or nearing completion,
The restrictions in Lee Heights
contemplate the erection OF homes
costing from $500 to $4,000. The
new development is in a section
of artistic residences and also adj
Joins the Washington Golf and
Country Club. It is the purpose of
Mrs. Minar to have the new homes
conform to the high standard of
the dwellings, already on the prop
erty.
