fireproof has, 1t Is reported, been
built in Connecticut. 1t has attract
ed much attention from engineers
and insurance men. because of the
fact that it contains not a scrap OF

Another unique feature of this
building Is that it possesses not a

and arc solid masses Of concrete and
iron work. Tho walls arc Of con-
crete and in no case exceed eight
inches in thickness. The doors are
made of ireproof composition and
the doors, window sills and framee
are OF metal
There is still another remarkable
feature Of tho building-namely, its
wearing qualities, as nothing in 1t
can wear out, except perhaps the
hinges on the doors. or something of
that order. In the opinion Of archi-
tects who have inspected 1t, the struc-
ture should stand and be useful un-

Contracts Should Be in
Writing and in Duplicate

When you sign a contract for the
purchase Of home, the building of
IA home or a preliminary agreement
for purchase, you should demand a
copy of the contract and insist that
you receive one.
This not only protects you from
any change in the contract if deal
ing with a dishonest contractor or
broker, but it also is protection
against misunderstanding.
The safe method Of doing BUSH
ness is by giving copy of the con-
tract to every person signing it; this
should be done in every instance. Do
your business along safe business lines
and you will have no cause for COM
plant.
Many times In dealing with a real
estate broker, one whom you have
had considerable dealings with in the
past, you are inclined to sign the con-
tract and tell him to complete it or
fill it In later when he gets time.
This is poor business, and one which
sooner or later will result in very
serious situation. The broker may be
absolutely honest, but through a mis-
understanding make very radical
error for which you may be held strict
~ in account.
All agreements, contracts or business
transactions should be in writing,
signed in duplicate and complete. Do
not under any condition leave any
detail to verbal agreement.

You May Have House, but
Have You a Real Home?

Do you live in house, or do you live
in a home?
This is the pertinent question that is
asked by Better Homes in America, ma
tional educational institution which has
President Calvin Coolidge for chairman
of it's advisory council, Herbert Hoover,
secretary of the Department Of Com
merce, for its president, and DR.. James
Ford for it's executive director.
One great trouble with the United
States today, it 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 house. II 1t is only
the latter, you are being cheated out of
the best thing that life has to offer, and
the best advice that can be given you
is to exchange all that you have for a
home.
There is an important distinction be-
tween houses and homes. A millionaire
who owns a score of houses may not
have one in the whole number that
qualities as home. On the other
hand, almost every American family,
no matter how small their income may
be, provided that they go at it in the
right way, can afford home. No one
should be satisfied to live in house in
stead of home.
4 "Better Homes in America" is the
only organization of it's kind in the
United States. It. places It's chief en-
phasis upon the spiritual aspect Of the
home, the qualities that make a home
out of a house. In the second place,
It's chief interest is in the problems of
the small home owner, the making Of
worthy homes for families with little
money to spend.
When is a house home? Perhaps
President Coolidge answers the ques-
tion fully in his letter accepting the
craftsmanship Of the advisory council
of Better Homes in America when he
says that homes should be attractive,
worthy and permanent" the kind of
places Gin which home life can reach
it's finest levels, and in which can be
reared happy children and upright
citizens"
A house is permanent enough to
qualify as home when it belongs to
the family whose members live in 1t
and when its possession gives salts
faction and content to every member
Of the family circle. It must be con-
veniently arranged and have contriv-
ances for reducing household drudgery
to It's minimum, so that time is left
over from the work of housekeeping
for the more important work of home
making.
A well-arranged kitchen leaves a
mother leisure to cultivate companion
ship with her children. A comfortably
and tremendously furnished living room
is a place in which spirits as well as
bodies may be at peace.
The worthy home need not have
costly furniture 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 a worthy home ministers first Of
all to the spirit. High ideals are as
essential as comfort or efficiency in
home.
A house is attractive enough to be
home when 1t possesses the priceless
attributes of appropriateness and har-
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1924-07-24


mony and beauty, no matter how
modest its Furnishings and decorations
All the furniture in home may come
under the thousand dollar mark, and
yet it may have these Invaluable quail
ties. Another house may be furnished
with real antiques and expensive tap
estries and priceless pictures, and yet
come nearer to being museum than
a home.
Care should be taken in choosing
colors in furnishings and decorations.
Pictures are another crucial matter.
As for ornaments they often decrease
in value as they increase in number.
In general, it may be said that a
home is attractive only when it pos
sesses thorough harmony, in it's inner
as well as in It's outer aspects
