the walls are built of hollow cement
blocks, which afford a free circula-

of solid stone or brick walls coated

within the wall provides insulation
against dampness. the cold of Winter
or the extreme heat of Summer.
All danger of structural cracks IN
the walls due to settling was elimi-
mated by the precaution taken to make
the concrete footings unusually wide

INDIA is GIVEN CREDIT
FOR BUNGALOWS ORIGIN
Modern Structure, However, Bears
Little Resemblance to Resi-
dence of East.

The origin of the modern bungalow
has been attributed by some aen-
thusiasts to India, where it is pne-
story residence with a veranda and a
projecting roof, but now about the
only relation our one-story house bears
to India is it's name.
Certainly the idea of a. one.story
house has not been restricted to East
ern lands, for we have countless ex-
amples of this type Of home in Eng
land, France and other European
countries. In England and France
they are. called cottages. In fact, until
recent years we called our own small
houses cottages.
One-story houses have attained
great popularity in this country,
thanks principally to the work of
skillfuI architects on the Pacific Coast.
They have borrowed from Old World
small houses many different bits of
architecture These exteriors have
been adapted to our use with plans
that supply all the modern demands
of our American style of living.

HAVE MODERN FLAVOR.
American Homes Possess Unity of
Plan and Accommodation.

What is modern American? If we
were going to be exact about it, we
would say that practically all the
houses being built these days in this
country are modern American.
They differ from one another princi-
pally by the kind of external dress we
give them. Often these notifications
are borrowed from countries of the Old
World, and some of them come from
the buildings of our Colonial fore
fathers.
But fundamentally as to plan, ac-
commodations and methods Of. con-
struction, the whole system of things
by which the house is achieved, they
are modern in their physical makeup
and American in their flavor.

Two very vital features Of a mod
ern, well planned home of today-the
heating plant and the plumbing sys-
tem-are being installed this week in
The Star model home which is being
erected at 2910 Fortyfourth place,
Wesley Heights.
Prospective home owners thus are
afforded an excellent opportunity to
study these phases of the building of
a house while it is under construction.
The public is invited by the builders
of the Wesley Heights home. w. G. &
A. II. Miller, to inspect the building at
this stage and see the type of heating
and plumbing equipment used and the
methods employed in their installation.
Poor or inadequate heating or
plumbing fixtures, it is pointed out,
may cause an untold amount of dis
satisfaction to home owner. And
not only should standard. high-grade
equipment be selected, but special at
tention also should be paid to the in
stallation of such fixtures to insure
satisfactory service.

The heating plant is of the hot
water variety, and radiators were de-
signed for each room to provide the
needed amount of heat at minimum
cost The radiators in most cases are
set beneath the windows, where the
heat from them will counteract the
cold air from the out-of- doors in the
