This home is of the old steadfast
New England colonial type and al
ways presents substantial appear
ance. 1t demands practically level
plot and must always be built close
to the ground; that is, very little OF
the foundation wall should appear
above the grade. Vines and shrub
berry are almost a necessity to gain
the best effect and large trees form
the keynote Of successful compost
ton.
The porches on either side of the
house give broad, low effect which
is so desirable in this style, they are
enclosed and heated which makes
them disable throughout the entire
year.
The plan is of the center hall type
with living room on one side and din
ing room and kitchen on the other
A vestibule is provided in the hall.
A convenient little toilet room is To-
Gated in the rear Of the hall. A good
size pantry with plenty of cupboard
space and rear entry complete the
first flor plan.
On the second floor are three good
bedrooms and two bath rooms The
two bath rooms on this floor are a
great convenience. There is a good
attic space with a stairway leading
to it and another bed room and bath
could be finished off here.
The side walls of the house are
covered with wide clapboards painted
cream color, The roofs are of shin
giles and very dark brown stain
gives them a rich effect when com
bined with the side walls. and the
apple green shutters Al the wood
work and sash are painted to match
the siding.
The flower box over the entrance
porch adds happy note to the color
scheme.
The laundry, coal bin, furnace, etc,
are located in the cellar.

Fall of Bridge
Continued from Page one)


and five feet wide, was suspended on
steel cables from concrete towers on
each side of the river. In th2 free act,
Harry Mclean saturated his clothing
with gasoline, set it on fire and ran
under the bridge to dive into the
water. AS he passed under the span
the crowd shifted from one side of
the bridge to the other to get better
view. The steel cables broke at one
end Of the span, sliding the specta-
tors off one end and dropping then,
about 20 feet to the river bed.
Work of treating the injured was
quickly organized by physicians from
surrounding mine towns. Governor
Howard NJ. Gore ordered physicians
and nurses of the state health depart
ment to the scene from Charleston by
automobile and he followed later in a
special relief train. AS the governors
special neared Whitesville it met an
other relief train on the way to
Charleston with the most seriously
injured. Physicians and nurses aboard
the governors special as well as the
executive himself transferred the pa
tients to the special train, which re-
turned at once to Charleston.
At the time the bridge crashed, Nc
Lean, his clothing ablaze, was pass
ing under the bridge. Some of the
spectators, sliding off the bridge,
struck him. He stumbled, but jump
ed up quickly and plunged into the
shallow water to extinguish the fire.
He escaped with minor bruises and
burns.
A wire netting at the end of the
bridge caused the spectators to land
headtirst when they fell from the
span. A few of them landed in the
water but most of them fell on the
rocks that lined the river bed.
