Logs in Camp-Or
Shingles in Town
Charm, Convenience and
Economy of Space and
Money Characterize
This Plan.

This little house was designed es-
pecially to be built in the country,
upon the bank of small stream or
on hill from which a fine view may
be had. For the sake of the view the
porch has been designed in a rather
unusual way.
We have imagined this house with
the porch side toward the view and
have cut off the corners of the porch
and made the steps approach 1t from
the two corners instead of the ends,
to do away with the corner posts.
This plan enables any one sitting in
the living room to have an unob-
structed view through the door or
windows of the room. The windows
are so placed that any one sitting at
them will not have the view lnterfered
with by the pillars of the porch. BY
making it octagonal little more in
terest has been added to the exterior
of the house.
We have suggested that this house
be made of shiplap lumber merely be-
cause this is a cheap form OF CON
struction, but the house may easily
be made of logs, because the dimen-
sions have been made with possible
use of logs in mind
AS may be seen by studying the
plan, the living quarters and the
sleeping rooms are distinctly separ
ated by the hall or paSsageway, there
by allowing either unit to be used in
dependently, which assures the utmost
privacy for both. Space is left at the
back of the chimney for a little seat
and there is a large fireplace with
seats at one end of the living room.

With every prospect Of a record

than kept pace with the increase in
construction throughout the country.
Starting off the first Of the year with
permits amounting to the unusual
total of more than 81 100000 per

until last week the permits lowered

These cities are New York, Chicago,

now is shown and a porch built along
that end of the kitchen. BY extending
this porch TO the end of the bedroom

There is a small storage space at

anything not in use in the living

Because this house will probably be
built among trees it should be as un-
obtrusive in color as possible. We
suggest that the wood used on the
side walls and the shingles be dipped
in creoSote. This not only preserves
the wood, but gives it a warm, pleas
ant tone. The roof could be brown or
moss green as preferred, and the win

the end of the living room, with its
deep fireplace and wide windows, the
closet for dishes, the narrow passage

little kitchen-all make for unusual
comfort in small space.
This house, which is 36la by 42h
feet in size, would accommodate a
small family comfortably as Sum
mer home, and a house built on the
same floor plan, but a little more sub
stantially, would make a pleasant
year-round home for small family.
If this house were to be built
roughly as camp, the chimney might
be made to include an outdoor fire.

air fire at night-a plan which is
steadily growing in favor, evolved
from the regular camp fire and the
days of roughed camping. If the
camp idea were carried out, the most
ideal material for this design would
be logs, of course, for then it would
seem entirely at home standing among
the trees, and at the same time be
warm and substantial. Small houses.

NEW MUSIC MEMORY CONTEST
ROnping Around
the
Radio Dial
BY Listener-In

Another chapter in the history OF
the development of radio broadcast
ing will be written tomorrow abou-
noon, when for the first time, radio
waves will carry the Inauguration
of President of the United States.
Radio historians have been kept
busy during the past year writing
new chapters for their romantic
and thrilling book.
When broadcasting was first
started by KDKA in Pittsburgh,
about five years ago. promoters
were satisfied il the listeners heard
few scattered words, or were able
to distinguish the tune Of mus
ical recital At that time most Of
the music originated from p1ono.

But times. have changed. Within
the past year presidential speeches
Of great import presidential nom-
mating conventions, election re-
turns, championship prize fights,
world series games and grand
opera have all been broadcast sue
cessfully to millions Of listeners.
Tomorrow at noon more people
will actually hear the Presidents in
augural address than there were cIti-
George Washington made a similar
address. And ii the broadcastil.g
were done at night, there would be
several times as many listeners.
Rarely have we ever found so
much beautiful music in the air as
we heard last night. Every niche
on the dial had its own type of mel
ody, and famous musicians were
crowding each other for space on
the air.
OF all the various orchestras, jazz
and classic, and of all the Vocalists
we heard, three programs stood out
from all the rest for their sheer
beauty. In their respective spheres,
the A. and p. Gypsies, from WCAP
and WEAF; the Waldorf-Astoria
dance orchestra from WIZ and a
group of harmony singers" from
WEAR, Cleveland, were supreme
The instruments used by the
Gypsies are particularly well adapt
ed to transmission by radio. Rarely
has the small audience grouped
around our loud speaker been 80
unanimous in its applause of a pro-
gram.
The Waldorf-Astoria music easily
topped other dance programs, at.
least for us, because of its softness
and the prominence it placed on
stringed instruments rather than on
the horns and trumpets. 1t remind
ed us of our own rival orchestras,
the LIE Paradis and La Java organ.
izations.
On the local program were two
features which used to be regulars
on the local programs, but which
have almost become lost in the
rush. They were the Hawaiian Mel
ody Boys and the Three C's.''
The Hawaiian Melody Boys, Mel
vim Henderson, Clinton Rollins and
Edmond Pringle have always ap.
pealed to us as leaders in their
type Of music. Instead of playing
so many unfamiliar and Wierd
Hawaiian and south sea tunes, the
local boys predominant with famil-
lar pieces and get some real mel
ody, of different style, out of
them.
The Three C's," Lillian, Earl and
Bob Carbauh, pianist, baritone and
xylophonist, respectively used to
come before WCAP's microphone
regularly about a year ago, espe
cially during some of Rob" Law
rence's programs. 1t is an unusual
ly talented family and we welcome
them back.
