simple ornamental ventilatOrs to break
the expanse of the fl ont roof.
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 IL
feet, with a 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 it bright
and cheerful room.
No less attractive is the dining room
with it's outlook upon the terrace,
while still beyond there is break
fast room lighted by windows on two
sides. This room might well be used
for any one of several purposes If the
family requirements made it 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 a door opening into a
vestibule, which in turn has a rear
door opening onto a 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 a 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 1t possible
to have full use of this living room al
all times without disturbance to those
in other parts of the house, feature
which Is not often found in the one
story dwelling.

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 VIDE
experience as editor, author and man
ufacturer he is, without doubt, the
highest authority on the subject. Ad-

Nothing is more ordinary in appear
ance than a poorly designed bungalow
or One-story house, but when such a
home is properly designed there is
particular charm about it which can
not be denied. Nor is it necessary to
make such a house ornate or over
decorated to give it 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 a large
house and, especially from the direct
front, seems quite small, but its COM
pact design makes available an un-
usual amount of space for the comfort
and convenience of it's owners,
From the outside the simple brick
,undation, 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 a porch a terrace or pergola be-
ing substituted in some cases, but
here we have all three, covered
porch, a pergola over the driveway
and back of the porch, a terrace Of
the Cining room. Another exterior
feature which attracts is the use OF

SMITH AND MILLS
 PLAY EACH OTHER
(Continued from First Page)

gation rests with the city authorities, then Governor Smith must protect the producers of milk, Ogden L. Mills, republican gubernatorial can didate, declared in an address here last night.
 Explaining that the democratic platform gave a pledge to the farmers to enforce rigidly pure food laws and strengthen the supervision of distribution and marketing of food products, Representative Mills said he did not concede the "valid- ity' of Governor Smiths answer that tho city administration was re- sponsiblc.
 Let us assume, however, 1t Is an answer" Mir. Mills said. "I now ask the governor of the state what he proposes to do to protect the producers, and that question cannot be brushed aside with the conven- uonal assertion that Jimmy Walker is doing all he can, and if the gover- nor of the state does not propose to do anything to protect the producers, then what in the name of common sense does the plank in the demo- cratic platform mean?"

CHALIAPIN IN HARTFORD

Feodor Chaliapin. the greatest of all singing actors," together with
 his entire oporatic company and or chestra, has been engaged to appear in Hartford on Sunday afternoon.
 November 7, at the Capitol Theatre. This announcement was made by Jo-
 seph Listro, of 1929 Main street. Hartford. who is planning a unique series of concerts for the coming season. Each concert will have only the leading artists of the world in their particular class, and will be different from the regular concerts which music lovers here have heard in the past.
 The Chaliapin concert will be in the form of an "opera- concert" and will have a complete chorus. a symphony orchestra, scenic effects and the customary equipment which usually goes with a regular operatic production. The great Russian artist will sing various arias from his greatest performances, and will be assisted by a group of prominent singers including the lovely Elvira de Hidalgo. of the Metropolitan
 Opera Company and several other noted singers.
 This will be the first and only appearance of this noted company
 in this vicinity as the great Chalia-
 pin only recently completed his sen-
 sational engagement with the Metro
 politan Opera Company and is now abroad.
