HOUSE PLANS FOR HOME PLANNERS

a single door. The plan is ideal for
this type, of house.
In case only two bedrooms are de-
sired, the rear of the house could be
much simplified by emitting the hall
and placing doors on each side of the
living room fireplace, one opening
into each of the two bedrooms; OF
course, the second fireplace would
have to be omitted, as the partition
between the two bedrooms would
come just there. Stove pipe openings
into the chimney would permit the
use in each bedroom of little camp
stove. which adds greatly to morning
and evening comfort in the noun
tains, even in summer.
The logs should be set up on a
stone foundation. This will prevent
them from rotting. If stone is not
convenient, cement or brick will do
as well. In any case, the logs should
not rest directly on the ground. The
floor of the Porch could be of cement,
wood, flag stones or brick as the
owner desires
Since the prices of materials and
I labor vary considerably in differ
ent localities, we do not attempt

to give a definite estimate as to
the cost of building according to
this plan, but suggest that you

detailed information as to build

If the Washington star of so many
fruitless campaigns should get into
the world-Series it would be a fitting
climax to one of the best seasons he
has had. Away back in the Spring
il seemed almost certain that this
would be a Johnson year in the Ma

Johnson has pitched Is victories for
Washington and has lost orly six
games splendid record, if he never

in the early part of the year, and
there We're some who said that he
was as through as a year-old egg
which never saw cold storage. But
suddenly he started to win, and his
detractorS now have nothing to say

Martina. for the first time in his
life. has succeeded in sticking in a
major league up to September. He
has tried before. but heretofore he
has been unable to keep on the pay
roll for full season.
Ogden once was Il pitcher for Phil
adelDhia, but out Of the kindness of
his heart and his desire to make a
winner. Connie Mack talked Ogden to
death. With Washington he turns in
winner every now and then.
Zachary and Zahniser are the only

In the coming battle for the fly

favor the contender, frankie Genaro.
The dope that esta blished the Amer

Pancho Villa, the world champion,

1t will seem strange, under the cir
cumstances, that the present stroke
has been retained as a racing me-
dunn. but Europeans still hold it in
high esteem, despite it's inefficiency,
and as long as it remains an inter-
national competitive fixture we shall
have to foster it.
1t must be impressed on the pro-
spective devotes. however, that it is
most unWiSe to learn the breast
stroke before the crawl has been mas
tered. Quite apart from the consid-
Grafton that the crawl system leads
lot more rapidly to proficiency in
swimming, it should be borne in mind
that when the frog kick has been
acquired it is extremely difficult to
develop an effective crawl thrash.
Many expouents of the breast stroke
never succeed in gaining a perfect
leg drive for the crawl.
Notwithstanding the complicated
laws governing the breast stroke, it's
action has been modified considerably
in recent years. Formerly the arms
drove in a sweeping outward motion,

The kick is started by dropping the
knees a little and bending the lower
legs upward, at the same time flexing
at the ankles and moving the feet a
trifle apart. Then, simultaneously,
the feet are turned the least bit out
ward. and the legs kicked backward
and outward sharply. then brought
energetically together, as a continua-
ton of the Strengthening and opening
movement.
The kick is introduced at the end
of the down and back pull of the
arms. The legs fold very slowly as
the hands are brought together after
said pull and they perform the pro-
pelling act as the arms glide forward
in the recovery.
Between kicks the body should rest
on the water straight and fiat, form

toes. Breathing is effected by inhal-

by lifting it only long enough to take

Comfort, ease and efficiency are de-

good glide after each kick, when the
body is in the position offering min

reduces the effort by allowing the

heels close, then the feet spread wide
and the legs Strengthened and whip
ped together with vigor.
Now the movements advocated by
the worlds foremost authorities are
quite different. The arms press down,
as well as out, making shorter,
deeper drive. The legs do not open
wide in the recovery of the kick, but
bend up, without knees moving much
apart, and straighten outward for the
closing snap.
More in detail: The arms start
from comfortable extension in front,
on surface, hands touching. In be-
ginning the propelling act the hands
turn at slight angle, palms out
ward, and drive at a slant, SO that
they will reach a depth of, roughly,
IS to IS inches. Before they reach
the shoulder line, however, they are
brought inward, retaining pressure
on the water until they meet, before
passing the shoulder line, of course.
Then the hands are turned up, fingers
pointed ahead, palms down and thrust
forward to original position.
