The layout of this house follows
the Colonial type, with the main first
floor rooms either side of a central
hall and the. kitchen and pantry
placed in an ell that extends to the
rear. The house expresses simplicity
outside and within.
This plan arrangement gives all
rooms good exposure, that is, most of
the rooms have three outside walls
with plenty of large windows, that
afford good light and air.
The large opening between the en-
trance hall and Living Room prac-
tically makes these two spaces one
room.

and then carved crosses ON her
body with penknife. Tine men left
her then, Miss Eric said, and she
went to nearby convent Tor aid,
later returning home. She was re-
ported by friends to have said she
feared a certain secret organization.
A warrant for tho arrest Of Miss
Mildred Erick, said to DO q choir
singer, on a charge of disordcrly con
duct was issued today in municipal
court on complaint of her father as q
result Of her story that two hooded
men had cut crosses oe her body with
a penknife.. III
The young woman, who is twenty
four, said she had recently joined a
Catholic church and that soon there
after she received note signed -Ku
Klux Khan" and threatening I'VE are
going TO get you for leaving your

said he found ten cuts in the form OF

ance of the warrant was chiefly for

take her from a Logging house where
she lives with a trained nurse, to
question her. When the police went
to her home with the warrant, Miss
Erick had disappeared.
