which carry the entire structure of
the house. These steel beams support
the first-fioor joists of the house. and
from these beams solid Georgia pine

ture of the house. extend clear to the
roof. A roof structure of permanence
is thus assured. There can be NO
sagging in the roof or cracking of the
plaster walls from settling. Such
details as these, while not seen after
the house is done. are items which
lend permanency to construction.

lustrous finish is secured which is
very smooth and has great wearing
qualities. The paint can be easily
cleaned and therefore repainting is
not necessary. Formerly it was nee
essary to paint the interior Of the
house periodically if one desired to
keep 1t looking fresh. However. with
the "Duco" finish the paint can be
kept freshlooking for years.
The large ma ster s bedroom on the
second floor has been tastefully deco
rated in a colonial-pattern paper. This
particular room has its private bath
and private dressing room. A unique
feature of this room is the large cedar
closet which ii contains. This cedar

closet opens off the dressing room and
affords "A convenient and roomy space
for the keeping of clothing free from
moths. Another one of these large
closets opens off another bedroom.
Two Tiled Baths.
The two baths on the second floor
have been tiled in the soft shades or
green and pink tile and they are very
attractive for this reason. FROM the

The roof of the entire house is
covered with a Vermont green and

This type of slate harmonizes par

Rear Perspective Attractive.
The perspective of this home from
the rear. that is on the Hemlock street
side is every bit as attractive as the
front. In fact the modern detached
homes should be designed so that the

of the home adds to this attractive
ness. This garden can be entered
from the door at the end of the main
hall, which opens onto a small con-
crete porch thanked with colonial iron
rails. From this porch a brick walk
leads to the garden. Likewise, access
can be had to the garage from the
garden by pair of rustic stone steps
built into the side of the terrace. The
garage, of course, can also be reach
ed through the basement of the house.
The garage is entirely fireproof, and,
being under the broad veranda at the
side of the house. it is concealed and
out of the way, yet easily accessible.
The entire lot has been inclosed
with an artistic stone wall. The main
entrance is likewise of stone and the
walkway to the house from the street
is made of flagstones laid with very
wide joints. F'lagstone walks also
are used around and about the house

New York, Jan. 4 despite pessimjs-
tic reports Of the last few days as to The
outcome Of the negotiations for a settle
ment Of the anthracite miners strike,
observers who have been forecastinq an
early agreement continued today to hold
strongly 10 such opinions. They believe
that when the niaeIs and operators lead
ers resume their peace parleys and there
after, a way Will be found to effect a
compromise on Wh8t is now the chief
issue, the question Of arbitration.
There can be no doubt that the miners
are prepared to contest to the utmost
any plan for compulsory or binding ar
bitrati0n. But whether they can be in
GUced TO accept sCme form of modified
arbitration, not binding them upreser-
vedjy to the decisions Of third parties
while at the same time Offering better
guarantees against interrupted proGuc-
ton is a source of a cheerier hue. Al
ready the operators have shown a dis
position to modify their original demand
for arbitration which would be binding
on al sides. There is a belief they may
be willing to go still further in the inter
est of settling the strike and saving
what remains Of the industry's fast
|dwindling markets.
Final plans for the operators p%artici-
patton in the forthcoming parleys were
scheduled to be made today at a meeting

Any doubt of New York's intention to

began to creep around that brush pile.
II he had been walking on eggs, he
couldn't have put his feet down any
more carefully. Continually he tested
the wind. His eyes were Axed just
ahead. He looked neither to right nor
left The nearer he got, the more
slowly he moved, but the more eager
he became. He almost trembled with
eawerness. His hindfeet were ready
to send him through the air on o
great Jump the instant opportunity
offered.
Now he could see around that pile
of brush Sure enough, there was Mr..
Grouse! He was close to that little
pile of brush, and Reddy hadn't a
doubt in the world that Mrs. Grouse
was underneath 1t. The back of Mr..
Grouse was toward Reddy. Reddy
crouched., He drew his hindfeet under
spring. At that very instant Chat.
terer, the Red Squirrel, looking down
from the safety of a tree close by,
shrieked at the top of his lungs.
"Reddy Fox! Reddy Fox! Reddy Fox.
At the first note from Chatterer's
throat two things happened. They
happened right together. Reddy Fox
jumped and Mr.. Grouse jumped.
Reddy Fox landed right exactly where
Mr.. Grouse had been. and at the same
time that Reddy landed there Mr..
Grouse landed on the branch OF tree
far out of Reddy's reach. Such a
bitter disappointment! Reddy had
been so sure of Mr.. Grouse, and 1t
hadn't seemed possible to him that he
could fail to catch him. But In a
flash some of the bitterness disap.
peared. and he thought that anyway
he would have Mrs. Grouse. She
couldn't fly and therefore she must
be hiding under that pile Of brush.
