al privacy is one OF the fea-
Atures OF the home pictured
here.
Homes OF brick and stucco of
this storv-and-haR. or semi-bun-
galow, type are popular in many
sections of the United States be-
cause of the combination of prac-
tical features with comparative
economy Of construction.
The height of the first floor
above the ground line insures an
exceptionally light and airy base
ment. Notice that the entry door
is on the ground level. and that
the first floor is gained by means
Of short flight OF stairs in the
entry hall
This entryway gives access to
the living room. the dining room
and the stairs to the second floor.
Both the living room and dining
room are Of comfortable dimen-
sions. The size Of the living room
is augmented both in appearance
and utility by the large sun porch.
The large opening between the
two makes them virtually one
large room. The fireplace is a
feature which few homebuilders
will be willing to do without.
The dining room is well lighted
and OF pleasing rectangular pro-
portions, and the kitchen is

Venience to the housewife. Note
that provision is made for icing
the refrigerator from the outside
and that the pantry is well lighted.
The first floor bedroom is a fea-
ture which will appeal 20 many
families. The two chambers on
the second floor are of good size
and have roomy closets.
The cost Of this home may be
between $500 and $4,000, depend
ing on choice OF materials, the
distance of its location from
sources of material supply and
the condition of the local labor
market. In many sections of the

PLUMBING MUST
Be DEPENDABLE
Poorly Installed Fixtures Are
Health Menace,

The services of competent archl-
tects and plumbing dealers are es-
sential to success in building, say
Hayes Brothers. Inc, plumbing sup
ply dealers. Without the aid of an
architects expert advice in planning
and building, it is an easy matter
to make errors, the cost Of correct
ing which may amount to more than
the architects fee. Your plumbing
also should be awarded a reliable
dealer to insure satisfaction.
Cheap plumbing fixtures, poorly
installed, are not only source OF
constant annoyance. but a menace
TO health. This company advises
builders OF homes to eliminate
chance by availing themselves OF
their experience and personal atten-
ton In the matter of materials and

Dreary Days Best

"Well, there are at least two big
reasons" was the reply. I'm the first
place it's case of psychology. AL
most every one waits for a pleasant
day to look at house. Hence the real
estate business Is likely to be slow if
the sun goes under cloud and the

tions, go into explanations carefully.

All Houses Not Homes.
This Writer Declares

Do you live in a house, or do you
live in home?
This is the pertinent question asked
by Better Homes In America, the re-
Gently Incorporated national educa.
tional institution which has President
Coolidge for chairman Of its advisory
council; Herbert Hoover, secretary of
the Department of Commerce, for its
president, and DR.. James Ford for its
executive director.
One great trouble with the United
States today, 1t points out, is that too
many people live in houses, rather
than in homes. Take a straight and
honest look at your abode right now,
and make up your mind whether it is
a home. or merely a house. If it is
only the latter, you are being cheated
out OF the best thing life has to offer,
and the best advice that can be given
you is to exchange all that you have
for q home.
A house Is permanent enough to
qualify as home when it belongs to
the family whose members live in 1t.
But when is it sufficiently worthy to
be considered a home? Better Homes
in America answers, in effect, at least,
that home is worthy when 1t is of
such a type that its possession gives
satisfaction and content to every men,
Der Of the family circle. 1t must be a
conveniently arranged house, in which
there are c0ntrivances for reducing
household drudgery to its minimum, so
that time is left over from the work of
housekeeping for the more important
work Of homemaking.
A well arranged kitchen leaves a
mother leisure to cultivate companion
ship with her children. A comfortably
and tremendously furnished living
room Is place in which spirits as we'll
as bodies may be at peace. A home
pervaded by dignity and simplicity
goes long way toward producing lives
permeated by the same qualities.
The worthy home need not have over
stuffed chairs and imported rugs. but 1t
will have good books and music. and
the parents will devote time to play
with their children, since these things
are Of the spirit, and worthy home
ministers first of all to the spirit. High
ideals are as essential as comfort or
efficiency In home.
When is a house attractive enough
to be home? Better Homes in Ameri-
ca says that it is when 1t possesses the
priceless attributes Of appropriateness
and harmony and beauty, no matter
how modest its furnishings and deco
rations may be.-Blanche Brace in the
Chicago American.

Proper Fire Insurance
for the American Home

The rate Of fire insurance placed
upon house may depend upon the
materials used in building, the fire
protection afforded in construction and
the location of the house, but it is
rarely as much as half of l per cent
of the value Of the house, according to
the United States Department Of Com
MERGE, bureau of building and housing
Insurance is necessary not only to
protect the mortgage holder, but also
the equity of the owner. It is always
required by the bank. trust company
or building association making the
mortgage loan.

URGE PROGRAM
ON HEALTH IN
FOUR CITIES

I Proposals will be made to furnish
funds of the international Health
Board, a branch of the Rockefeller
Foundation, to at least four counties
in the state to aid in creating full
time health staffs. DR.. p. w. Cow
ington, representative of the Health
Board, is now in the state, having
presented his proposals in Bismarck
Saturday night. He will visit James
town, Devils Lake and Minot.
The International Health Board
and DR.. A. A. Whittemore, state
health officer, are anxious to try
out the full-time staff plan in two
or three counties of the state The
plan already is widespread in states
to the south, DR.. Whittemore said.
The basis of the proposal is that
with a full-time health staff many
ills which now lead to death or dis
ability may be avoided. Hundreds
of lives are lost in the state each
year from ills which might have been
prevented and there is great econom-
ic loss arising from Interpretation
through preventable illness, it is
added.
The proposal made for Burleigh
county was that the International
Health Board would advance $4,000
to match the $4,000 now spent by the
city, county and $. hool officials, pro-
viding full-timc health Staff of
one health officer and two nurses.

Grand Forks, March 25.-Applca-
ton of three motor truck lines for
licenses was protested by the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific rail
roads at hearing held here before

The Great Northern declared grant
ing of the licenses would cause UNI

Chicago, Mar. 25.-Frcsh liuuida-

To Test Novel Idea
In Air Warfare

Dayton, O., March 25.--Yhe airShip
RS-l which, when completed, will be
more than three times as large as
any sem-rigid balloon now in the
army service, will be delivered at
Scott Field, Belleville, Ill.,, June /.
Shortly thereafter the balloon will
be taken to McCook Field for trials.
The RS-l, of 100000 cubic feet gas
capacity, will have as one Of its new
features the aerial hook which was
developed at McCook Field This
hook is fixed under the bag and will
permit of AN airplane, to which cor
responding device is attached to
hook onto the balloon and ride with
it. The plane can leave at the will of
the pilot.
This operation proved success
with smaller devices several months
ago when the Sperry messenger plane
attached itself Ito small balloon,
rode for a while, and then returned
to the field independent Of the bal
loon.
In time Of war, it is believed a
great gas bag could haul large num-
Der of small fighting planes over
enemy territory. The planes then
could do their work and return to
the balloon for ferry back to cen
trial station. The idea is novel, bat
practical, army officials say, because
small fighting planes have only a
limited cruising radius occasioncd by
the small amount of gasoline they
are capable of carrying.
The RS-l will be housed at Scott
Field because there is no army han
gar elsewhere capable Of covering it,
but the tests will be conducted large
ly at Wilbur Wright Field.
