To secure both comfort and con-
venence in a small house or apart
ment il is necessary to make use OF
every foot Of space to the best ad.
vantage. There are many ways OF
doing this. All that is needed is to
make full use of your wall space as
we'll as your floor space Wall space
is seldom used TO it's fullest extent in
small room. and valuable corners
are almost always overlooked when
considering ways and means OF utiliZ-
ing space. There are a few people,
however. who know how to manage
with small space, as. for instance, the
man who built his bookcases clear to
the ceiling. and some men have been
known to cover an entire wall with
bookshelves when the house did not
afford a separate room to use as IL
braly.
In Washington, whore we have
hundreds of small apartments and
houses. 1t is especially important to
know how to use to advantage all
space. The accompanying sketch
shows a simple way to make good
use OF a corner in the living room or
bedroom. Such a corner could be
used by adults for reading or sewing.
or it could be a study corner for the
children. The window seat and the
shaped end piece. to which are fitted
useful little flap table and hanging
book shelves, are simple designs,
which any carpenter would construct
at a moderate charge. They would

DEMAND INCREASING
FOR CHEAPER HOMES
Hiram s. Cody Of Chicago Points
to Lesson Learned From
Survey.

Hiram S. Cody Of Chicago, treas
urer of the National Association OF
Rea! Estate Boards and vice presi
dent of the Chicago Trust Co.. has
pointed out from the findings of a
Chicago survey a tendency to greater
demand for cheaper houses and a
demand for a roomy type OF lot. No
subdividing OF lots under 80 feet In
width is going on In the Chicago
region, he said.
Cheap money rates for the home
buyer and the opening up OF the in
stallment payment plan for the pur-
chase of automobiles have together
greatly accelerated the spread OF pop
ulation to the suburbs" Mr.. Cody
said Housing loan companies are
now looking to the suburbs as their
principal field, Frank Lincoln OF Chi
cago, chairman Of the division, point
ed out.

in constant use, as the covers can be
lifted up easily when on hinges.
Any type Of window will serve the
purpose IL it is near a corner OF the
room, as many windows are. Even
an ordinary pattern, such as the one
shown in the accompanying sketch,
can be made to form a distinctive fea-
ture in any room. The curtains
should be made of net or some other
transparent material so as not to OBJ
struct the light. The little extension
table would hold a student lamp or
n small vase OF flowers, and the book
shelves would hold school books or
other books in constant use. A maya
zine stand could be used in place Of
the fancy pedestal shown at one side
of the sketch. The magazine stand
would be much more useful if not
quite as ornamental as the pedestal.
Such a corner would cost little in
time or money to construct, but
would count big in usefulness and
pleasure.

The almost universal mistake IN.
Cured by novices who seek to become
fast swimmers is to practice at top
pace always They defeat their own
aim by SO doing, for it is impossible
TO either perfect the stroke or ade-
quately train the muscles to the action
when thrashing along wildly and
heedlessly.
The only way to develop speed is
to avoid fast swimming altogether
during the novitiate and cover in
creasingly long stretches at slow
gait, devoting close attention to every
part Of the stroke in turn.
In following such a course the
muscles gradually will become accus-
toned to the unfamiliar movements
and form steadily will be improved
at the same time, so that the result
will be full exploitation of individual
strength and stamina by the time pro-
| f1ciency is gained.
Another wrong impression among
novices is that the crawl requires a
| quick stroke. In matter or fact 1t IS
essential to give the muscles a chance
to rest between efforts, and the only
| way to do this is to effect slow
recovery, as already stated.
The greatest sprinters the world has
known used and use slow arm mo.
tons, which affords conclusive evil
dence that even in swimming the
shortest distances rapid action is det-
| rimental, not conducive, to speed.
1t will readily be seen, too, that if
! energy is wasted in making swiftly
the negative movements of recovery
there will be proportionately less
power available to execute the posi-
tive acts of propulsion.
This retarding of the arm recovery
is the more necessary in that the
action Of crawl must be continuous,
without stoppage at any point. Arms
and legs work INCREASINGLY and the
only opportunity to recuperate is
gained by relaxing completely when
they are not driving.
OF course. a quicker stroke must be
used for sprinting than for middle
and long distances. but this makes
the more important an eNaggeratedly
slow recovery at practice. so that the
proportionate timing of the move
ments will be retained when the action
is raised.
Developing swimmers must be eau
toned against OVERRIDING things. After
| proficiency has been gained, the crawl
virtually is eff, tless; but an ineXperi-
enced swimmer labors heavily and too
much work may cause strain, besides

who begged off from this meet on &C.
count of being over Golfed during the

open title and his hard contest to
capture the national open recently at
columbus. Jones felt he had need of
rest before defending his title as ma
tional amateur champion. Bill Mel
horn of Chicago. who Won the event
two years ago. was not expected to
compete because of an injured hand.
While probably most Of the record
field had little chance of attaining the
title. recent years have shown that
from the ranks of the unlikely con-
tenders have risen some of the brill
liant stars of golf. and officers of the
Western Golf Association have left
the door open for all aspirants. To
permit such a large field to play. only
IS holes are played the first day and a
like number on the second day by the
whole field.
The "a players who have the best
scores at the end of the second day.
with those who tie for siXty-fourth
place survive for 80 holes on the final
day to complete the 72-hole contest.
Elaborate plans have been made by
Indianapolis golfers for the event
which is the first large tournament
held in the 1ioosier capital. which has
been a hotbed OF golf for many years.
