Architectural Club competition
was the above by Ebert j. Rich
mOnd, Waterbury, Conn. MIR.
Richmond was winner of the third
prize in this competition.
The walls are of concrete ma

stuccO finish.
C. e. Cutler, one OF the judges
in the contest, says, "a point
often overlooked by persons who
contemplate building a home is
that none of the continental styles,
except the Swiss chalet, can be
expressed in wood. Concrete ma
sOnry in the form of cement block
is an excellent material for small
house construction, but the design
must be expressed in stuccO.
"Of the various StuccOs, port
land cement stuccO is the only one
lending itself to every form of
artistci treatment. In the hands
OF experienced and sympathetic
craftsmen results with portland
cement stucco are simply wonder
full. It should preferably be used
on a masonry background, and
concrete blocks offer the ideal
foundation for portland cement
stuccO."

Shine Gets 30 Days in Jail for Aiding Escape
FOUND KEYS ON FLOOR
Story of Escape Told in Court-Im, portant League Game Today Watcrtown Indies Here Tomorrow Church Notices.

Church Notices.
 No trace has yet been found of the three New Britain men who es- caped from the local jail Friday night after having been arrested for breach of the peace and drunken nes. The fourth member of the party. George Shine of LaSale street 1 New Britain. who stayed in the cell when the othcre made their get away, was tried yesterday afternoon before Justice NJ. o. Ryder. He was foun guilty Of aiding in the break and sentenced 10 30 days in jail. while he was fined $I and costs Of about S2c for breach Of the peace. 1 He was also charged with driving while under the influence of liquor
 hut this charge was not pressed, there being no testimony that he had , been driving. since his auto had broken down before the police were called in.
 The true story of how the men made their escape came out at the trial. During the rough-and-tumble scuffle between Constable Fred Cal l len and Shine in the lookup. the off csr's keys fell from the hook on his belt to which they were attached. In the mix-up he did not hear them drop and left without knowing of his loss. About an hour and a half
 later Joseph Lipski. one Of those who escaped kicked something which
 was lying on the floor and this prov
 ed 10 be a bunch of keys. Thinking
 that one of them might open the coll door. he had Shine, whose hand is small, try ano key after another
 until the right one was found and the three made hurried exit. Shine stayed because his car was in custody
 Cauen missed his keys about 1:15
 and hastcncd back to the jail. but
