English Norman Style Resi-

demonstration of the value of care

ton methods. as we'll as of the many
benefits of home ownership, when
The Star model home in Rock Creek
Park Estates viii be thrown open for
one month Of free public inspection.
Construction of this house, located
on Orchid street about one block
north Of Kalmia road. was completed
during the past week, fully equipped
and furnished throughout and having
the appearance of a home occupied
Tor some time. 1t is q house of mod
crate size, containing seven main
rooms, and is an illustration of a
rural type dwelling fashioned along
the most interesting and best lines
found in the English and Norman
country house styles. 1t is of a COM
bination of stone, brick and stucco
construction.
Public Is Invited.
A cordial invitation is extended to
householders. prospective home own
ers and all others interested to visit
the home today or any day during
the ensuing month to inspect the

until about $50 pm. daily, and rep
resentative of the firm of Edison w.
Briggs. builder of the home, will be
on hand to receive all visitors, who
will be permitted to roam about the
place at will.
This is the third of the four demon
Etration houses sponsored this year by
The Star and the Home Owners
Institute.
The Estates" model home is stu
ated on a commanding site on the
great knoll rising to the north of
Kalmia road, and is reached via the
sweeping curve of Orchid street, which
affords a changing perspective of the
place as one approaches the house.
Located thus on a plot of outstanding
prominence, the silhouette of the whole
building was given careful study, that
1t might fit well into its setting, and
the result was the selection OF a type
that would give rather low and
rambling effect with the solidity of
the design emphasized by the broad
base of the masonry walls and the
united feeling of the roof lines.
The effect of the house from close
inspection is one of simplicity. The
texture of the exterior walls adds to
this effect as do also the shape Of the
windows. the family perceptible pat
tern work in the soft-toned brick of the
walls, the quiet color of the outside
woodwork and the roofing. The archi-
tectural style suggests the blending of
the English and Norman country
house types without being literal
copies of either of these historic mo-
tives. The grounds of the place were

sentative was last. Only first place
counts in the series, however.
The boats today covered a trlangu-
lar course of six miles. Merenneito
led from the start The poor showing
of Lea was partly due to a mistake
at the starting line. The Dutch boat
was recalled for crossing the line too
soon. and Corny Shields, American
skipper, misinterpreted the command
as applying to his boat.

TIMELY HINTS FOR HOUSEWIFE

Spots on soft felt hats may be easily
removed by rubbing with fine emery
paper.
Salads are no longer considered lux
uries. At least one salad should be
included in every days menu.
There's nothing like lemon Juice,
salt and sunlight for getting rid of
rust stains on the household linen.
An inch or so of adhesive tape on
each corner of the bed springs is like
ly to save many tears in the corners
of the sheets.
A good way to clean mirrors Is to
wash with cloth or newspaper mois-
tened in alcohol. Use care not to let
the alcohol run under the frame.

tables at home to sell unless they can

if it is badly soied, dip the cloth in a

Michigan leading all the others with
100000 for the first five games in the

their three games-against Ohio,

Western League Is Gold
Mine for the Railroads

Every player who followed one of
the eight Western league clubs around
the circuit during the season recently
ended travelled more than 1880
miles, or half the distance around the
world.
The league is spread over six of the
largest states in the Union-Texas,
Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa
and Colorado. The distance by rail
between Des Moines, Iowa, and ANA
rillo, Texas, the extreme ends of the
baseball battle ground, is 969 miles.
'The Western league is great as
set to the railroads." remarked Dale
Gear, the leagues president, as he
scanned the reports on transportation
expenses received at his office.
More than $4,000 was spent for
train and sleeping car fare by the
eight clubs.
