put up partitions throw on roof and
call the thing a "house."
But building home Is an entirely
different matter.
Your home means more to you than
everything else in life, for you work
each day that you may enjoy its COM
forts at night as you work each day
that YOU may deserve it. Because
home is such a closely related part of
you-your constant compartment
should be attractive, cozy, comfort
able and a place that you look for
ward with pleasure to going to- It
should be place that you are proud
to point out as your home and an as
set to your community.
Such home that will meet all these
requirements is shown in the accom-
panying illustration. Here is an at
tractive two-story eight-room house de-
signed along bungalow lines with a
substantial appearance and can be
built very reasonably.
Because building conditions vary in
different localities 1t IS Impossible TO
say exactly what this home will cost,
but your local contractor, architect or
professional builder can quote you
estimates which should make it quite
economical, as the materials used are
all of the regular type, there being no
odd or freak designs in the plans.
Thoroughly American in architec-
ture and distinct in its every detail,
the exterior gives the general effect Of
erclusiveness and beauty that is so
lard to get and so seldom seen in ordi-
nary homes. Its features are not COM
posed of novelties that come and go,
but are made up of the careful touches
that have stood the test with home
builders for many years.
Particularly attractive and inviting
is the arye rrnnt porch, and the Shia-

Cling of the columns has given II dis
tinctive appearance that forms pleas
ing combination with the other out
side woodwork. The roof and porch
are decided characteristics Of this
home and the lines of both create en-
excellent effect.
In planning home, the housewife.
besides giving deep thought to the ex-
terror appearance, takes a greater in
terest still in the interior arrangement.
and this home in that respect is ideal.
The arrangement is convenient and
comfortable, minimizing housework.
The house is 80 feet wide and 40
feet long and can be erected on com
paratively narrow lot. From the
porch one enters the living room which
is 13 by IL feet. 1t is well lighted
with a window opening On the porch
and one at the side. Directly ahead
is the dining room with three windows
and three entrances. 1t is large and

dining room opens into the kitchen,
and also the hall. A screened porch
Is located at the rear Of this side OF
the house, as are the steps leading to
the cellar.
On the other side Of the first floor
are two bedrooms and pantry. The
bedroom at the front Of the house is
entered from the living room and could
be converted into an excellent library,

Three bedrooms, two 10 by II feet and

DISTRICT TSCHOOLBOYS PLAY COLE,
USING OLD TIN. CANS FOR HOLES

Not TO be outdone by their fathers,
who now let the supper go cold to
play golf, the schoolboys of Wash
ington have taken up the ancient
Scottish pastime
But, like true American boys, they
have revamped the game to suit
themselves and have given their ver-
sion of the game the democratic
name of "tin-can golf"
The interesting story of how "tin-
can golf" came into existence is re-
lated in the annual report of Mrs.
Susie Root Rhodes, supervisor of
Fairgrounds And she Is authority
for. the statement that it has taken
the boys of Washington by storm.
Some time ago for a period of six
weeks the Fairgrounds were unable
to obtain base balls. The boys stood
around in groups under trees and at
tempted to satisfy themselves by dis
cussing the relative abilities of Babe
Ruth, Ty Cobb and other stars.
Golf was the rage. so the directors
set out to devise a game of golf
without equipment.
One of the directors sank six tin
cans into the ground. placed at ran
dom around the field and christened
1t "tin-can golf"
The first games were played with
rubber balls, but they proved to be
