and convenience come first They are
essentials. After these we have tried
to study economy in every detail and
arrangement
You will find the range back of the
living room fireplace and the sink
close to the bathroom-these are real
economies. There is a little porch
that protects the kitchen, and the ice
box is so placed that the feweSt pos
sible steps are needed to fill 1t with
ice or use for the kitchen service.
Again, it is worth considering that
even with the strict economy there
is living porch. The American peo-
pie are growing more and more to
desire outdoor living every month in
the year. You will notice, too, a
window between the bedrooms and
porch-this could be cut down into a
French door If desired.
In so small a house as this it is
wise to keep one general color scheme
running through the rooms. For in
stance, make the woodwork in living
room and bedrooms and the little hall
all light French gray-or white
enamel would give a sense of space,
or chestnut treated to make it very
light would be good, or pine left its
notes in the curtains and rugs to suit
your personal tastes.
Detailed information as to building
costs can be supplied by any local

BUSINESS BODIES OF u. S.

Active Co=Operation Sought in Effort to Reach
25,OOO,OOO Americans and Assure Sue
cessful Week, MayII=IS.

The active cooperation Of every
chamber of commerce in the United
States is sought for the better homes
in America movement
Better homes in America, now or
ganized on permanent and purely
/, non-commercial basis, in its cam
paigns' in the past two years has re-
ceived much help from chambers of
commerce in the many hundreds of
communities where better homes
have been demonstrated. An organ
lied effort Is now being made to
reach every one of the. 25,00O,00O
American families in the United
States to help make their homes
more comfortable, more beautiful.
and easier and cheaper to manage
and maintain. For this reason every
local chamber of commerce in Amer
lea is urged to put it's shoulder to
the wheel for this important work
been organized on a permanent basis
as a public service organization, and
has been Incorporated under the laws
OF the state of Delaware
Success in Every State.
In 1928 the better homes campaign
was successful in every state, and
nearly twice as many communities a q
IN 1922 conducted demonstrations. In
each state in the Union small villages
and rural communities, as well as
large cities, held demonstrations. The
total attendance amounted to more
than 100000 people.
Il believe the local chamber of COM
merce has in this movement a unique
opportunity to elevate the whole
plane of our home life," Herbert
Hoover stated in a letter to Elliott
n. Goodwin, vice president of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
states. Chambers of commerce sup
porting the better homes demonstra-
tions were more numerous in 1928
than in 1922, and this appeal is made
to you in the hope that you will ac-
lively cooperate in the 1924 cam
paign. Those participating found
that both industry and commerce
were benefited by the general stand
ard Of citizenship. 1t served to unite
men and women and the commercial
and civic forces in common purpose,
and because of it's popular appeal
gained support for the organizations
sponsoring it.
May II to Is has been designated
as 'Better-homes week for 1924. We

trust that you will apply your ener-
sles In securing a demonstration for
your community by volunteering to
ACT as secretary of the committee and
by cooperating with the COMMITTEE
Wherever 1t may need your help. We
nope, also. that you Will use your in
nuence whenever called upon to keen
the movement free from domination
Dy special interests. The emphasis
should not be on houses or furnish

these may be, but on the improve
ment of the quality of the home For
this is essentially a civic movement
If you do this, the chairman will
feel encouraged in accepting and you
will help to assure the success of the
demonstration"

WARN AGAINST MISUSE
of MISSION FURNITURE

Mission furniture was first used in
a little frame church in California
AS a reaction to some of the ornate,
Enthusiastically carved light old furni-
ture that was then commonplace, il
really seemed, with its innocent SIM
plicity. to claim a certain beauty
and was entirely suitable in its west
ern environment.
When mission furniture is used, no
attempt at daintiness should be made.
Window hangings should be of firm
weave and not transparent. Accom-
panying colorS should be coarse. Do
mestic rugs are more suitable than
orientals, which are rather related
with the past and have nothing in
common with strictly western modern
equipment.

HOUSE PLANS FOR HOME PLANNERS
A Distinctive Design With
Convenient Floor Plan
The Wee Little House of
Your Dreams

The tiny home, with it's many re-
strictions. is perhaps the hardest
problem the architect has to solve.
Proportions that combine well in the
larger house to make beautiful lines
become entirely out of the question
in the smaller house. So, many small
houses are box-like and without those
pleasing lines that make it "a little
different" We have tried in this
house to clothe an unusually con-
venient interior with a bit more
dignified exterior than the average
With proper landscaping you will
find this a most attractive home.
1t is of stucco on frame, with
metal lath, and there is slight half
timber construction of chestnut in
troduced. 1t would be interesting to
make this stucco a delicate cream
color with the half timber of
tobacco brown, extended to the win
dow and porch supports: the win
dow frames the same tone, or a
dull Holland blue, with the small
panes of glass pure white or pale
yellow. The roof, of shingles, could
be delicate green and brown, which
would give an interesting sense of
ltAIul the lIeliISeS up eaCn
side of She porch could be painted
Holland blue if the window frames
are blue, or white if the frames are
tobacco brown.
The floor plan has been simpIiHed
to the last degree for economy For
this reason the living and dining
room are one. But to avoid confusion
in the combination, a large pantry is
shown, with cupboardS and the ice
box, and doorways to shut away the
kitchen. 1t would be possible to con-
vert this pantry into little break
fast alcove, but in the long run the
pantry would be more useful, both
to the kitchen and to the living and
dining room space.
Although planned to be inexpensive
it is noteworthy that many of the
conveniences of the larger house have
been safeguarded in this small plan
You will notice that, small as it is,
there is a large fireplace, a vestibule
which shuts the entrance door away
from the living room tfor privacy and
cleanliness) and a big closet for
coats, umbrellas, etc. Again, the hall,
though small, shuts away the bed
rooms from the living and dining
room. and the bath is still farther
away, at the extreme end of the little
hall.
In many of the less expensive
houses the front door opens right into
the living room, bedrooms open into
the kitchen and living room and the
living room is given the smallest
space in the house, without fireplace
or proper lighting. Here comfort
