planned this little house with an en-
trance hall, sitting room. kitchen and
laundry downstairs and two bed
rooms. bath, hall and cozy nook on
the second floor. The little nook can
be used for a child's sleeping room
or could serve just as an alcove with
the main room. There are closets in
each room and the windows are so
arranged that cross drafts can be had
and thus perfect ventilation secured.
In all houses the kitchen. is an i'm
portant room and for this reason
we have made II quite large, roomy
enough to be used for a breakfast
room as we'll If the owner wished
to use the parlor for dining room
a door could be cut through the wall
close to the range.
In order to prevent the boxlike
appearance which is the general fail
ing of the small house, the roof has
been sloped back and dormer win
dows introduced. Thus a graceful
line has been gained with no loss
of room space. This little house is
only 26x22 feet in size. A very mar
row lot could be used, therefore.
Any one planning to build a num-
ber of small houses for renting will
find this design most practical. Archi-
tects who have made out community
plans Tor groups OF WOFklngmen cot
tages have found that IL is cheaper
to build a great many houses alike
than to have each one different Tim
bers can be cut and material ordered
wholesale when many houses are TO

likes the idea of living in a row of
duplicate houses, so variety has been
gained by painting the houses differ
ent colors, facing them at different
angles OF the compass, changing the
shape OF the porches, giving one a
trellised doorway, anothr a trellised
window and still another window

out monotony many times in a few
blocks by the use of just such de-
vices.
Since the prices of material and
labor vary so materially in different

BY JAMES FORD,
Executive Director,
Better Homes in America.

The builder of new home or the
purchaser of a finished house may
safely Judge many of the factors of
construction and design for himself.
But 1t is wise to test his own con-
cIusions by consulting a disinterested
builder or architect The valuable
guidance received is well worth the
small fee involved.
Not many houses will have all of
the good points desired by the pros
pective home owner. Often in the
choice of the house, as in the choice
of the site. there will have to be a
compromise. Generally speaking,
once the site Of the future home is
determined upon. the quality of con-
Struction- of. the house and. the ar
rangement- of rooms for the needs of
the family to occupy it should be the
first consideration. The following
suggestions are offered, drawn chief
ly from How to own Your Home"
pamphlet written by DR.. John NJ.
Cries and James S. Taylor and sold
at cost by Better Homes in America.
Consider Daily Needs.
Before agreeing to buy a house
and before building one, the arrange
ment of the rooms should receive
very careful attention. Not all houses
are arranged for the convenience of
those who are going to live in them
For instance, there are houses in
which the kitchen and dining room
are separated by a room other than
a service pantry. This arrangement
is inconvenient, causing many un-
necessary steps.
The living room will be the one
most used by the family, and should
receive careful consideration. It
Sh of he ted al
should be large enough for the fam
iIy's needs. The front door may open
directly into the living room. This
means the danger of drafts, and may
make it impossible to heat the living
room adequately unless a storm door
for winter use is possible.
The dining room may be considered
the most expensive room in the house.

Design for a Single
Two-Family House
Small House, Suitable for a
Workingman's Home or
Summer Cottage.

Many persons prefer to invest in a
building which provides not only a
home for themselves-->but an income
from rent as wen. Any one of that
desire, possessing. n good sized lot
could erect this double house upon 1t
and add more beauty to the street
than many twofamily houses succeed
in doing.
In scientific community planning for
the working man, builders have inz
sisted. upon an abundance of fresh air.
in the houses, upon windows that will
let in the sunshine. water piped to
the sink and lights that are instantly
switched on; paved streets, good
churches, amusement halls, conven-
lent markets-in fact, all of the mod
ern improvements that create physi-
cal comfort. But in their enthusiasm
for perfect sanitation and household
convenience, they have often to a
great extent overlooked peoples need
of beauty.
An animals need is satisfied if he
is well fed and has a comfortable
nest or den, but a man needs the
stimulus of beauty and his soul can
not expand without it. Therefore
beauty must be in the scheme of any
thing provided for the well-b being of
man. Houses may be standardized
as far as component units and struc-
tural elements are concerned but il
Is impossible to standardize beauty;
and most fortunate thing that is,
for variety is the chief charm of sub
urban streets. If all he houses were
exactly alike, no matter how beauti-
full the model the street, the street
would present a most monotonous and
unfnteresting appearance
The house shown this week is
planned for the family of modest
means, but large ideals of beauty
1t is the smallest possible kind of
house, and because it is overy small
it has been difficult to give it salts
factory sense of proportion How
ever, il embodies the colonial lines
made dear to US through tradition and
the house somehow carries the at
mosphere of home.
This house has been so designed
that it can be doubled and thus con-
verted into a two-family house
merely by duplicating the unit. The
design will be all the better for the
doubling, because the lines will then
be longer and the expense of building
two houses lessened. Many families
like to have such two-family house
when they build to provide for mar
ried children or secure source of
income as well as a home for them
selves with a single investment.
Every one who has studied the
question of building knows that it is
cheaper to erect a house of a given
number of rooms two stories in height
than one of the same number of
rooms all on one floor. 4 bungalow,
which is d house on one floor without
stairs, is more convenient, perhaps,
than a two-story building with the
same number of rooms, but the cost
is considerab bly, greater. The chief
expense of building a house may be
found in the roof and the foundation,
and. naturally, with a sixroom house,
for instance. IL three rooms were on
the first floor and three on the Sec
ond the roof expense and the founda-
tion would be much less than IL all
six rooms were on one floor.
Desiring to show the cheapest pos
sible house that still provides a sense
of comfort and beauty,-Twe have

Kitchen Most Important.
1t is only recently that the kitchen

It is entitled. Approximately nine

their own cooking and house work.
There are many factors of convent

The location of the sink. drainboa rdS

to the natural and artificial lighting
of the kitchen are important matters.

stant use. Convenient cupboards and
closets are necessary also.
Provide Ample Closets.
1t is not essential that bedrooms he

that they should have plenty OF air
and light. They should be so ar
ranged that beds, dressers, chairs and
chests of drawers may be placed
without interfering with the lighting,

ventilation is highly desirable Also.
it is best that bedrooms should open
from a hall or passage. not directly
from the living room. Ample clothes
closets are an absolute necessity.
This is truer of the small house than
the large one. where there may be
sufficient room for storage.

and ventilation. 1t is very bad

Meanwhile the juriSfiictional fight
has resulted in the tying up, from
time to time, of millions of dollars
worth of construction because OF the
refusal of other building crafts to
work with the carpenters brother
hood. Efforts of the executive coun-
Gil of the American Federation of
Labor TO adjust the controversy have
failed, and pressure is being brought
to bear on the council to have the
new carpenters union Recognized in
the event the brotherhood fails to
abide by the decisions of the National
Board of Jurisdictional Awards.

RS and plasterers' union, which tied
up more than s20,000,0O0 worth of

ity of the controversy extendin &
