Parsees Hold Secrets
of Physical Culture

The parsees have recovered from
their ancient past some marvellous
secrets Of physical culture, equally
available for both old and young, it
was indicated by remarkable exhibit
ton given at bombay before the lead
ers of the Parsee sect by small
group which calls itself the Zoarastri-
an Health league.
A slim young schoolgirl, dressed in
native costume, but with her sleeves
pinned back to free her arms, lifted
heavy army saber-the kind that
a cavaIryman would exert himself to
handle-and began, first slowly, then
more rapidly. swinging and flashing 1t
through the air and around her head.
She swayed toward It, pulled by its
weight and she retreated staggering
before 1t as it pressed solid momen-
tum against her, but she controlled
1t, and, with slowing swing finally
brought 1t to dead stop before her
and dropped 1t to the floor. The
Parsees cheered and the schoolgirl
skipped to the wings.
Then some schoolhoys gave a wrig-
Cling. lightninglike exhibition OF
wrestling-a sort of compromise be-
tween native Indian wrestling and a
kind of Parsee jiu-jitsu. Small boys
flashed wriggling and kicking In the
air and dropped with thud on the
great mat only to be up in second
tossing their late tormentors similarly
or perhaps even more adroitly. 1t
was great contrast to the heavy
western sty,e of wrestling where two
men grunt In a deadlock from which
neither can bulge The Indian Parsee
version Is more like japanese tum-
bling except that the tumblers seek to

BY WILLIAM A. RApFoRp

Mr. william A Radford will answer
questions and give ADVICE FREE OF
COST on all problems pertaining to the
subject of building, for the readers of
this paper. On account OF his wide
experience as editor. author and man
ufacturer. he is, without doubt. the
highest authority on the subject Ad-
dress all inquiries to William A. Rad
ford. No. 1927 Prairie avenue. Chicago,
Ill, and only inclose two-cent stamp
for reply.
Nothing is more ordinary In appear
ance than poorly designed bungalow
or oneistory house. but when such
home is properly designed there is a
particular charm about 1t which can
not be denied Nor is 1t necessary to
make such a house ornate or over
decorated to give 1t individuality. In
fact simplicity, as In all architectural
design, is highly desirable. 1t is good
design which should be the aim, not
ornamentation.
When good design is achieved, then
individuality accompanies it, as Is wit
messed by the house shown in the
illustration. This house would stand
out anywhere, not as being conspicu-
Gus, but as possessing that much
desired individuality. 1t is not large
house and, especially from the direct
front. seems quite small, but its COM
pact design makes available an I'M
usual amount of space for the comfort
and convenience of its owners.
From the outside the simple brick
foundation, bases for pillars and win
dow flower boxes Immediately catch
the eye. These provisions for flowers
under each of the front windows are
most unusual in treatment and charm
ing in effect.
Many houses today are built with
out porch, terrace or pergola be-
ing substituted in some cases, but
here we have all three, a covered
porch, a pergola over the driveway
and back of the porch, terrace off
the dining room. Another exterior
feature which attracts is the use OF

simple ornamental ventilators to break

Entrances are provided from the
porch into the living room and from
the terrace into the dining room. The
former room Is large, % feet by ID
feet, with big fireplace at the end.
There are built-in bookcases at each
side of the fireplace with windows
above and these, together with the
large front windows, make II bright
and cheerful room.
No less attractive is the dining room
with its outlook upon the terrace,
while still beyond there is a break
fast room lighted by windows on two
sides. This room might well be used
for any one of several purposes II the
family requirements made 1t desir-
able, as a sewing room or study. for
example. Also to the rear of the din
ing room and next to this breakfast
room, is the kitchen. 1t is small but
we'll arranged to simplify the house
work and has door opening into a
vestibule, which in turn has rear
door opening onto second terrace.
At the other side of the house are
two bedrooms with the bathroom be-
tween. These are of equal size, we'll
lighted and airy and provided with
ample closets. In the small hallway,
off which these two rooms open, is
found the basement stairway and
here, too, Is clothes chute, which
will save many steps for the house
keeper.
All Of the rooms, except the living
room, are grouped about this small
hallway In a most compact manner.
The living room, on the other hand, Is
rather separated, in way which
seems highly desirable, and Is reached
only from the front porch and the
dining room. This makes it possible
to have full use of this living room at
all times without disturbance to those
in other parts of the house, a feature
which is not oftens found in the one.

Well-Chosen Pictures
Make Home Brighter

How to hang a picture SO that it
will be in harmony with the walls
and furniture of room is an impor-
tant thing to know. The entire room
should compose" well, that Is, 1t
should give a well-balanced appear
ance in the matter of placing furniture
and wall decorating.
1t is a fact that very few people
who hang pictures on the walls of
their homes realize the Importance
of the correct relationship between
picture and furniture. Often a large
picture is hung over a small piece
of furniture, in which case there Is
an Unconscious feeling that the small
stand or table beneath that large
picture is in imminent danger of be-
ing crushed, should the picture ever
fall.

is completely lost. Such an arrange

should be about one-half or two-thirds
of the width of the piece of furni-

Protect Trees Which
Beautify Your Home

1t is known fact that trees and
shrubbery enhance the beauty of al
most any ordinary-sized building, yet
it is surprising to see the utter lack
of appreciation of this fact displayed
by great many contractors
When working on job they made
absolutely no effort to prevent grow
ing things from being killed. with the
result that there Is not live tree left
on the place when the job is done
Trees are very easily killed by piling
rubbish about them or by knocking
off the bark. If the builder will take
care to see these things are not done
he will leave the premises in such a
condition that the trees will continue
20 bloom.

Refrigerators Should
Be Vanished Annually

Even In a well-made refrigerator 1t
is almost impossible to prevent
sweating" 1t is quite impossible to
prevent difference in temperature
between the outside casing and that
of the room. Consequently any mois-
ture held in the room atmosphere is
bound to condense on the outside of
the box. If the refrigerator is kept
well finished with varnish or shellac,
this moisture is prevented from seep-
ing into the box, causing the panels
to warp, seams to open, wood to rot.
This condition offers germs an oppor-
tunity to develop and causes ice to
melt more rapidly
