Chimney Is Important
Part of New Residence

The matter of flashings is one that
needs careful attention when a per
son is building a house in which he
hopes to be comfortable and free from
petty troubles. most important
place for proper flashing is about the
chimneys. On a stucco home the
chimneys usually are finished in stuc,
co to harmonize with the rest of the
house, but are Of masonry cOnstruc'
ton, lined to conform with the rules
of fire safety.
The stucco should be applied only
after the chimney has been carefully
covered with metal lath Such chin
ney always should have cap of stone
cast concrete or other masonry which
will overhang the metal lath and stuc
co and provide protection against wa
ter seeping in at the joint. Usually
this is accomplished by providing =
generous overhang and growing the
underside of the chimney cap wei
away from the stucco, so that the wa
ter will be carried to the vertical ant
unbroken portions Of the Gimme,
where it can do no damage.

Kitchen


The two bedrooms, with a bathroom
between, are placed at the other side
of the house. These rooms all open
off of a hallway which is reached from
the dining room. Both bedrooms are
provided with closets and that in the
front bedroom is unusually large. A
portion of it might easily be used to
provide a linen closet

A great many people have the mis-
taken idea that the very small house
or cottage cannot be made so attrac-
tive nor so architecturally correct as
a large house, but one glance at the
accompanying picture will prove be-
yond doubt that this is wrong Prob
ably the reason for the growth OF this
idea is the fact that too often the
wrong methods are used in the at
tempt to make the small house at
tractive. That Is, 1t is Ornamented
with many fancy trimmings which
have just the opposite effect from
that which is desired
Simplicity is good rule in all
house design, but it is absolutely es-
sential in the design of the small
house. Lines and materials are the
means which should be used to make
the small house attractive and this
COW little cottage illustrates what
can be done along these lines, 1t is
notable that not one strikingly "Orna-
mental" feature is used.
The house measures "a feet wide by
80 feet deep At the front there is
projecting porch extending only part
way across the house and at the rear
the kitchen projects slightly from the
rectangular form. The roof, which Is
covered with a composition roofing,
extends out in moderately wide caves
and the plain rafter ends are allowed
| TO show. The porch roof forms a
simple gable and is supported by pill
| lars which are broad at the base but
relieved of any heaviness by lighter
construction above.
The walls are covered with a plain
drop siding which extends down to the
grade level with slight spread just
above the ground The effect is to
make the house sit closely downs upon
the lot as though an integral part of
It. Six-paned upper sash are used in
the windows to good effect while a
| window box at the front and trellis
tor training beautiful vine add much
10 the front exposure. Well selected
| paintings about the foundations and
he hanging baskets on the porch add
q homelike air and this liltle home ex'
tands an invitation which is irreslst-
ible.
The front entrance, with windows
Of each side, leads directly into the
living room and from it an arched
doorway gives a view of the dining
room beyond Back of the dining
room is the kitchen. 1t Is small
kitchen, as might be expected, but Is
well arranged so that it afords am
nle and convenient working place
Windows over the sink not only affor'
plenty of light but also make possible
view of the outdoors for whoeve
NAV be doing the kitchen work. Th
refrigerator is placed in recess De
side the back door. 1t could eaSil
be arranged to be served from tn

Sound Waves in Water
Used to Fight Disease

Baltimore, Md.-Dr. R. w. Wood,
professor of experimental physics at
Johns Hopkins university, makes pub
lie the results SO far attained in the
experiments conducted on the estate
of Alfred L. Loomis, a New York
banker. at Tuxedo, N. Y, with treat
ment of diseases by high-freQuency
sound waves sent through water. Mr..
LOOMS assisted in the experiments.
The possibility of applying the dis
covery to medicine is described as be-
ing found in the fact that circulation
is greatly stimulated in any part of
the body which is thrust into water
in which the sound waves have been
introduced.
Doctor Wood said that while the ex-
periments had not gone far enough
for him to claim that cures might be
accomplished, it had been found that
circulation could be tremendously
stimulated and that a method for
stimulating circulation without in
jury was valuable to medicine.

Finds Movies Offer
Field for Organist

New York.-Modern organists have
found their greatest opportunity for
development in place where few
years ago it was least expected to ex-
ist-the American motion picture the
ater-says DR.. Melchiorre Mauro-C Cot
tone, concert Organist and composer.
Many of the finest organs in the
world are in the cinema palaces and
the men who play them, in Doctor
Cottone's opinion, reach larger audi
ences than they have ever had before.
'There was time" he said, when
1t was thought the organ was not very
adaptable to the motion picture thea
ter. But we now know how false this
opinion was. The organ is most elias
tic, even more so than the orchestra,
and in playing for the screen we can
switch instantly from one theme to
another.
Nothing more develops the impro-
visation of an organist. Here we
also play all types of music. In the
church, our range is narrow and there
is little need of improvisation"
