PICTURESQUE New England is destined to become

Mayor Curley. Of Boston, predicted at ceremonies
which marked first excavation for a new 1300-room

England long has needed" said Mayor Curley. "As
Tor Boston, the chief obstacle in the path Of its
becoming the leading convention city of America
has been the lack Of adequate hotel accommodations"
Boston was surprised at the speed with which
Dwight P. Robinson & Co., the builders. started
work on the new Statler. On the same day that the
contract was announced in Boston excavation began
with Mayor Curley at the levers which controlled

Small Stone House
Will Last Forever
Beauty, Durability, Econ
omy and Comfort Char
acterize This Fine Design.

When the early settlers came to
New England they built their homes
of stone because 1t was near at hand
and because it was strong to resist
the elements. Stone as a building
material not only insures durability
but grows handsomer with age. In
mbining these two qualities our
forefathers were very wise, for no
piece of work can give lasting pleas
ure without them. Beauty rests
upon necessity" in architecture as
well as in everything else.
Beauty is never achieved by apply
ing ornament. but through grace Of
line and proportion-the silhouette of
the building. 1t cannot be gained as
an afterthought, but must be an in
tegral part of the structure itself
From a good floor plan should rise a
beautiful exterior. There is no
other building material that has such
q sense of being in harmony with all
nature as stone. A stone house looks
as though ii were a part of the land
scape. The elements with seeming
magic soften and mellow the exqui-
site colors of the stones. and each
passing year brings to us a, new
sense of loveliness. new sense of
satisfaction, new inspiration to go
on with our attainment-until we find
the stone house that we built merg-
ing into the home of our dreams,
and every new flower or vine or shrub,
every bit of beauty connected with 1t,
becomes a part of the growth of our
lives.
Rooms Well Planned.

LUMBER TRADE HOLDS
FIRM DESPITE WEATHER
Some ouickening Reported by
American Lumberman-Reta
Dealers Conservative.

Considering the restrictive inhu-
ence which adverse weather is hav-
Ing on the lumber market in various
important consuming sections, the
trade is Of good volume, and is in
fact showing some quickening, ac-
cording to the American Lumberman,
Chicago. Mill stocks as a rule are
low and broken, order files adequate
and prices firm. AS Spring ap-
proaches, with its excellent building
prospects. retail lumber dealers are
beginning to show real interest in
the market and to buy on a some
what larger scale for stock purposes
However, they are still conservative,
and are not likely to stock to any,
thing like normal extent, but will
rather postpone their buying until
they have orders actually in hand
This has been their policy for the
last few years, and they will prob
ably continue 1t, at least so long as
the transportation situation remains
as favorable as 1t was during 1924.
Industrial demand, meanwhile. re-
mains considerable. The railroads are
still buying large quantities of both

Southern oil fields are the source of
good business, and the FIR mills are

Upstairs there are two bedrooms
with closets, a bath and a sewing
room. Windows are so arranged
that cross draft is obtained and
thus perfect ventilation Is assured.
If need be. the sewing room could
be used for another bedroom or a
child's play room; or IL the storage
space and sewing room were thrown
into one, 1t would serve as an excel
lent den or study.
The house is 40 feet in width and
301a feet deep; therefore. the rdesira-
BILE lot would be at least 75 feet
across the front. To select lot for
this design without old trees on 1T
would be a mistake; this type house
invites setting as sturdy as itself,
and such a lot is the only one that
would be in keeping with this de-
sign.
Added landscaping should be a bit
formal and dignified, as suggested in
the cut /, Interior decorations should
be simple and In harmony with such
an exterior. Many ways of decorat-
ing might suggest themselves from
the antique to the very modern bright
coloring Whichever your taste die
| tates, let the keynote be simplicity.
Since the prices Of material and la
Dor vary SO materially in different
localities. we do not attempt to give
an estimate as to cost, but suggest
that you consult your local builder

Hoover Looks for No Change In
General Situation.

States Department of Commerce Sec
retary Herbert Hoover forecasts that
there doubtless will be no charge in
housing demands and home building
during 1925, as follows:
The construction work of the
country has maintained high activ-
ity. While the shortage, particularly
OF housing and business buildin gs,
due TO the cessation of construction
during the war, has been to a large
degree overcome, yet continued high
real wages and general prosperity
create a demand in excess of that due
only to increasing population, be-
cause OF the insistence of a popu-
tion of rising standards of living, for

and shelves for dishes are close by,

of energy A closet for kitchen
dishes is on the inner wall. close to
the range. The refrigerator is near
the door leading to the porch so it
can be iced from the outside-at least
there need be no tracking across the
kitchen floor
The outside wall of the little serv-
ice porch is of stone with a little
circular Ventilating window. By
building this wall. the apparent size
of the house is increased and the

pealing She shows flashes of fire
in moments of spirit, when her Nore--

scenes are done with finesse.
The story, as everyone knows, con-
| Germs the love of the handsome young
West Point officer Trumbull, portray
ed by Edmund Lowe, who visits the
Frietchie home and falls in love with
| Barbara. The great conflict of hearts

provides ample material from which

The film closes impressively with a
fadeout of Abraham Lincoln, done
by the inimitable George Billings, and
quotation from the Gettysburg ad-
dress. Others in the cast are En-
nett King, Charles Delaney and Joe

The scene on the front porch where
Barbara hangs out the Union flag Is
picturesque and realistic. The language
