Advantages Shown
Such an acquisition, rumors OF
which have been persistent In GER

people control of some of the most

that the builder pay only part of
the estimated cost at installation
and the rest monthly. or according

indianapolis is reducing her auto

With the year three-quarters gone
there have been only thirty-eight
fatal accidents thus far in 1925 as
compared with seventy-nine for the
entire year 1924. At this time last
year fifty.four persons had been
killed.
If accidents continue at the pres
ent rate the total fatality figure for
1925 will be at least 10 Ter cent under
the 1924 figure.
In 1924, automobiles killed twenty
persons out of every 100000 ropula-
ton in indianapolis. This was a
6record. In 1923 the death rate was
about fifteen person for every
100000.
Thus far in 1925, automobiles have
KILLED 1913 persons throughout the
United States, as compared with
1892 during all of 1924, according
to a Times dispatch from Washing

House Builder
SholId Remember to
Make Place for Volumes
May Conform to Archi-
tecturaI Plans.
BY Molly Elliott

l. A10 AAASOhAOOo p Oo POObA y
house builder has the happy
faculty of thinking of every de-
tail of his problem before he
begins the actual building Of
his house. He is the one who
prevents til at bewildering
problem of where to put the
books, after the last dust and
shaving is brushed away and
the family eagerly awaits the
arranging of the furniture in
"the new house. "
A little shamefacedly we Will have
to admit that the average american
home has so few books mat the
problem Is rarely ever a grave one.
But what books there are should be
provided for so that they will at
once be accessible and serve as an
added attraction to the room itself.
A bookroom, or library solely for
the purpose of shelving the books
and reading, is, of course, the ideal
arrangement. But as we are not
considering the type OF house that is
built for the housing of books alone.
We are forced to use ingenuity in
building-in cases that will accommo-
date our volumes as well as c, ere
q n,ncYnhnrA nf the
room and prove ar addition al hi
tecturally speaking.
Things TO Observe
Two things we must observe first
and foremost First, that the book
cases or shel/es must be built into
the walls; second, they must be car
ried to the ceiling, or nearly so.
Cases that are built only half way
up and are not built into the wall
serve to cut the room in half and
produce a lack Of uniformity that is
unnecessarily annoying. The cases
may be ornamental to a large degree
and may be designed to conform to
the architectural treatment OF the
room Again simple, unadorned
shelving without decorative treat
ment Of any kind Is safe and always
in good taste.
Most happily the corners Of the
room may be used to advantage in
many instances. BY taking ad-
vantage Of the corners floor space is
not lost and the difficulty Of fur
nishing the corners is done away
with.
French Treatment
An excellent arrangement is the
rather French treatment in which
the cases are solidly built-in at one
end of the room serving as a frame
for a group OF two windows in a
bay. These provide an interesting
manner of concealing the radiators
directly beneath them. The spaces
at either side of the chimney place
filled to the ceiling with brightly
colored books always add the needed
note Of color and hospitality to the
living room and when properly
treated pr oduce a delightful atmos-
phere. Unexpected hooks and inches.
just below small window or be-
tween two door frames filled with
books are an entertaining and in
teresting diversion to the eye and in.
dictate charming individuality.
There is "a certain charm about a
recessed book nook that fairly
breathes an invitation. Beside a
window or Ranking n window seat It
offers infinite possibilities for the
placement OF comfortable gay chintz
arm chairs and cushions that do
their bit In making comfortable the
