The Winslow public schools
opened last Tuesday with the fol-
lowing enrolment for the week:

week was $50.
AS compared with last year the
enrolment this year is slightly
larger than it was during the first
week of last year. The junior high
school has already a larger enroll
ment than it had any one month
of last year.
In the high school the enroll
ment in the commercial department
is unusually large. To meet the
demand in this department an ex-
ira period of typewriting and of
bookkeeping had to be provided
and all available typewriters and
seats have been taken. A number
of adults who wanted work in the
commercial department had to be
turned away for lack of room and
machines.
The new playground equipment
which was installed at the Wash

school has proved popular and is
in demand both before and after
school and at recesses.

level, over which are arranged cabi-
nets for dishes and food There
is a separate closet for cooking uten-
sls and a place for the ice box in the
entry, close to the service porch. A
roomy pantry, equipped with shelves
from floor to ceiling, is between the
kitchen and the dining nook. Screens
can be arranged to separate the din
ing nook from the dining room if
desired
Upstairs. in addition to large
owners room, there are three bed
rooms and a large bathroom for the
members of the family, and a maids
room with private bath. The arrange
ment of the rooms upstairs shows the
greatest practical use of given space,
the entire plot being cut up as little
as possible with wall spaces. This
makes a simple layout and a conven-
lent one. Every room is abundantly
supplied with closets and there are
also two closets in the hall for linen,
brooms or extra bedding.
The maids room could be used as
sewing room or child's room, in
which case the extra bath could be
done away with and thus the cost of
the house reduced. However, if future
sales are to be considered 1t would
not be a bad investment to install this
second bath, even if 1t were not to be
| used, as a house with two or more
baths is coming to be more and more
desired
The planting around this house
| should be carefully thought out. To
make the most of the whole design
| 1T will need to be a bit formal, as the
character of the house suggests.
The house is 561a feet wide and 43
| feet deep, and VIII need a lot of 70
| feet frontage, at least. \ smaller lot
would dwarf the design entirely and
put its splendid dignity at an unfair
advantage A wooded lot of large pro-
portions is the ideal setting.

an estimate as to costs, but suggest

Practice houses for high schools and
colleges have demonstrated their high
Importance agencies of training

An element of particular interest
connected with the school practice
house of the Penn School is that the
island, which is about Is miles long
and or wide, is populated almost
exclusively by negroes. Possibly SO
whites live on the island, while the
negroes number between 5000 and
5000.
In the 1924 campaign for better
homes on st. Helena Island the house
plans were drawn by one of the
pupils of the Penn School. After COM

dollars of the close estimate which
had been made by the pupils of tho

House With Garage
Profitable Investment
For Large Corner Lot in Country
or Suburb, Has an Imposing
Appearance and Comfort.

We have a new idea in America. A
little house with roses outside and
nothing inside but inconvenience.
The American cottage is well de-
signed. 1t is practical, economical
and convenient. 1t must have a COM
Portable living room with an open
fireplace. bedrooms always Of course,
bath and maids room when a maid
can be afforded or found. We are
weary of villas In this country and
of houses--desolate farm houses. We
want real homes, large or small, and
we want them for everybody.
Short Five Million Homes.
We are short about five million
homes in America. and every man has
his own ideal of a home. Home
building can no longer be an adven-
ture in real estate. 1t is the building
up of something interesting-a good
investment, to be sure. and a delight
full place to live in as a result.
The house shown in the illustration
that accompanies this article was de-
signed to be built in the country, or
at least in a village or town. 1t
would be quite as lovely in city,
not often be had in city lot. 1t
is essentially a house that requires
the ornamentation of flowers and the
association of trees, for it is severely
simple and relies on natures CO.
operation in the matter of finish. The
silhouette is especially fine, for the
house rests upon the earth with a
firm base and yet seems to lift into
the air with a joyous swing. 1t is
symmetrical with plenty of windows
and a pleasing roof line, and yet not
formal enough to be repellent.
Many people like to have a garage
a part of the house proper. To
comply with fire laws, such a house
would have to be built of hollow
tile and stucco or brick. Hollow tile
and Stucco are especially good for
this type of construction. The house
could be built on a corner lot and
entrance to the garage made directly
from the side; or private roadway
could run from the street front, with
enough swing in font of the garage
to admit turning the car.
One can enter the garage from the
porch, and as this passageway is
under cover it would be Of special
benefit to the owner in inclement
weather.
From the hall full view of the
living room and dining room is had
at a glance, and a large arch gives
entrance to the sunroom. This gives
light from three directions. for there
is an abundance of windows through
which the sun will shine cheerily.
The effect of brightness and cheer is
further enhanced by the fireplace.
There is room against the side walls
for piano or book shelves: in fact,
the room lends itself easily to pic
turesque arrangement of furniture.
Housework Made Easy.
A study of the floor plans shows
that the workrooms have been seq
regated with view to making the
housework easy, as we'll as creating
sense of separation between the
working and living quarters of the
house. A doorway at the end of
the large hall opens into the smaller
kitchen hall. The kitchen is roomy.
One entire end is given over to a
sink and working shelves. all on one

The campaign for better homes.
which ended with Better Homes
week, May IL to Is last, saw more
than 1,500 communities having dem
onstrations or programs in one form
or another Cities, towns and rural
communities all took part in the ,most
successful campaign for better homes
throughout the 4S States than has
yet been witnessed.
In awarding prizes for the best
demonstrations there were several
classes considered. Among the cities
kalamazoo, Mich, received the first
award, with a demonstration house
which was especially built for the
purpose and a comprehensive pro-
gram of lectures, contests and ex-
hibits. The home was demonstrated
throughout the week by a committee
headed by DR.. Caroline Bartlett Crane.
The first prize in this classification
was cash award of $500. This was
the second successive year that a
Michigan demonstration was found to
be the best by the committee of
judges, Port Huron having won the
first award in 1923.
In a later article I shall deal more
at length with the excellent features
of some of the prize winning demon
strations.
Second Prize to Atlanta.
The second prize among the city
demonstrations went to the commit
tee in Atlanta, Ga, which was headed
by Mrs. Newton G. Wing. Mrs
Wings committee decided to demon
strate three houses. One cost more
than the committee of judges cared
to consider the second cost $4,000
and the third, which wa. designed as

1925 Changes Forecast.

Drastic changes in the North At
lantic States are to be found in in
dustrial building, which promises to
be considerably less in 1925, and in
office building, which indicates a con-
siderahly greater activity. In the
Southeastern States most building
types are comparatively the same
except churches, where greater
activity is promised. and in the small
dwelling field, which evidently is to
be more active.

Hotel Erection Drops.

The interest in hotel building in
both the Southeastern and South
western States has diminished con-
siderably. While in the Southeastern
States school building is evidently to
be less, it will be considerably greater
in the Southwestern States. On the
other hand, in the Southeastern States
there will be more residential build
ing than last year.

Legislatures in IS States are now
considering various bills affecting
real estate, besides proposed meas
ures in the National Congress affect
ing Washington, according to re-
cent investigation by the Nationai
Association of Real Estate Boards.
Besides the rent-Control bill for the
District now before Congress, the
measures considered in the States in
clude proposals for the reform or con-
troll of taxation, the equalizinS OF tax
assessments and the licensing law.
The licensing law proposed for Wash
tngton and effective in IS States is
now being considered by five State
legislatures.
r In a review of the Legislative situa-
tion outside the Capital the national
association says:
Minnesota Control Bill.
Minnesota will have before it the
adoption of a plan for State control
of tax expenditure similar to the plan
which has been found advantageous
in Indiana, where a State tax commits
sion has the power of veto over all
State and local tax levies and bond
issues.
AN amendment to the constitution
of Missouri to permit the enactment
of mortgage recording tax law and
of a secured debts tax law will come
before the Missouri Legislature. The
proposed amendment would provide
that the Legislature may make sep
arate class or classes of intangible
personal property. and may provide
for taxing il at rates different from
those applying to other personal
property: that all real estate and
tangible personal property subject to
taxation should be taxed in proper
tion to its value. and that local spe-
cial taxes may be levied for road and
bridge purposes.
Realtors of Oklahoma, through the
Oklahoma Real Estate Association
are asking the present State Legisla-
ture for tax reviSions and new laws
as follows:
Revision of Income Tax Inv.
"A revision of the State income tax
law, the State inheritance tax law
and the cash hand tax law; pro-
vision for quicker recovery on real
estate mortgages; for law putting
the tax assessor on straight salary
and abolishing the office of tax ferret,
and for new landlord-tenant law,
so that the tenants property in stor-
age on the premises shall be liable
for unpaid rent or damages to prop
erty.
AN amendment for the classifica-
ton OF property and a bill to do away
with double taxation of real estate
mortgages will come before the West
virginia Legislature. The legislation
Is expected to release money from tax
exempt securities and to bring it back
into circulation for mortgages
Further continuance of the emer-
Eency housing laws for Massa chusetts
Is opposed by the Massa chusetts AS
sociation of Real Estate Boards. The
association holds that present housing
conditions do not warrant a continu-
ance of the laws.
Zoning Proposal I'm Florida.
Enactment Of an enabling act to
permit communities to adopt zoning
ordinances is asked of the Florida
Legislature by the Florida Associa-
ton of Real Estate Boards.

PRICE FOR
LAMBS IS PAID
TO LOCAL FIRM

What is believed to be among the
best prices yet received this year
on lambs and old ewes was made last
when the contract was sign
ed for the sale of the Rasmussen
Sheep Company lambs at IL Y cents
per pound. The Andy Nelson and
also contracted their lambs
for IL " cents and their old ewes at
81 per head. The price of 81 for
old ewes is also much better than has
been received for man years. Eve
lambs are being held at 13 cents per
pound and it is very probable that
this price will be received.
The Rasmussen Sheep company
called for delivery on Octo-
Der 5th.
Although prices have held up very
well all during the season, the buy
ers have been forced to boost their
prices in order to supply the demand
that is pressing at the present time.
However. practically all wether
lambs raised in this section have now
been sold.
