SPANISH DESIGN FOR
HOMES is TENDENCY
By BENJAMIN r. FOX

Home architecture is tending
towards the Spanish and Italian
types. New materials have
great influence on architecture
and also people generally are
Influenced by what they see in
the movies.
In Hollywood and Southern
California, Spanish architecture
is greatly in vogue, and pictures
of homes in this section are fre-
quently shown on the screen.
The widespread use of the cedar
concrete block, recently intro
duced in building, has likewise
had its influence in moulding
the type of homes built.
The tendency in home build
ing is away from excessive or
namentation and heavy over
hangings in favor Of a frank
expression through simple use
of materials available.

Yachts Back Again.

Inlet yachts are back again for
regular service. They made their
first appearance on Easter Sunday
and have since continued to make
sailings. Their presence on sur
rounding waters has given touch
to the landscape that silently re-
minds the visitors of the fast APP
preaching summer. The airplanes
too, have been saved for the sea-
son. thanks TO an insistent group
of civic bodies who deplored the
threatened extinction Of the Cur
tiss hangar at the Inlet by having
the Boardwalk changed to a height
that would prevent ingress and eg-
ress from the building.

Various Examples of Archi-
lecture Demand Different
Finishes
HARMONIZE WITH
PERIOD STYLES
BY BENJAMIN r. FOX.


Modern development of the use
of exterior stuccos has resulted in
the interesting discovery that spec
ial combinations of color and tex
ture were used in each of the his
toric periods of architecture. These
textures and colors may be repro
duced perfectly today. So an en-
tirely correct finish is possible for
a home of any period style, no mat
ter how inexpensive it is.
This does not mean that you
can't exercise any individuality Of
taste in the matter. But you should
know that certain types of finish
go with certain periods.
Strong effects of light and shade
under intense sunlight were pro-
duced by the white, yellow or pink
stucco of Spanish homes. Applied
with coarse brush, the shaggier
spots smoothed down By hand, the
texture of Spanish stucco was
rough and thick. Modern reproduc-
ton requires broad sweeps over
the stucco surface with a wall
brush.
Parallel up and down strokes IN
light gray, cream or white mater
ial are typical of the French cot
tage. This finish is simple FOR the
present-day plasterer to produce
with a stiff brush or broom.
Rough-trowel textures character
ize the English cottage and early
Italian typ-s. On the old half-tim-
bered Eng sh cottage the plasterer
strove for smooth surface. but
seldom rot it. Semi-circular marks
of their crude trowels were left
visible. giving an effect that is part
OF the quaint charm of the house.
This effect can be obtained by
working the trowel at an angle so
that it gouges the surface. Soft
Bluffs, tans and grays are the Eng
lish colors.
White, bluffs. pinks and creams
are typically early Italian. The
right surface can be achieved by
applying the stucco in an uneven
surface, then roughening it rs it
begins to set by dragging the back
of the trowel in short curved
strokes.
Spatter-dash surfaces iii reds,
tans, buffs and yeIlows are typical
of the stucco finishes applied to Cal
ifornia missions by unframed In
dian workers. These textures can
be produced by bringing the stucco
to an even surface, then spattering
it with thinner creamy mix, using |
a long fiber brush or whisk broom.
American colonial homes with
their dignified simplicity called for
finer texture in contrast with the
rough ones just described. When
ever the colonists used stucco, they
finished it with wood float which
left an almost smooth surface re-
sembling fine stipple.
Such examples show how stucco
may be harmonized with period
styles. Desired effects can be OBJ
tanned easily with any stucco fin
ish into which mineral colors are
ground at the factory.

Oily Scum Leads
Swamp Owners TO
Useless Drilling

URBANA, H., May 1S.-Many
an optimistic swamp owner is led
into drilling for oil by appearance
on the water of an oily looking
film, which is really limonite, an
oxide of iron, warns r. S. KNAPP
pen OF the Illinois Geological Sur
Vey.
The geologists made a survey of
an Illinois region after many farm
ers had thought oil lay under their
land. 1t was found that there was
no oil, and those who spent money
in drilling lost it. The iridescent
film which they mistoolS for oil on
swamp waters turned out to be
limonite.
Two simple tests revealed the
truth. The lirnonite film would
not burn, and when disturbed it
broke up into sharp fragments,
which did not reunite as oil film
does.
