Simply Arranged.
BY l.. PORTER MOORE.


President, Home owners Institute, Inc
Gracefully proportioned roof lines and
natural, harmonious grouping of ma
terialS are the basis of pleasing eX-
terror in this small English plan, which,
because Of its skillfully concealed
square shape. is an inexpensive one to
construct II was designed by David
s. Douglass. registered architect. of
Hartford Conn. and contains $3.50
cubic feet The plan number is 3l9-S.
Details Of English architecture which
have proven popular and which are
easily translated in terms of modern
American materials are incorporated in
the exterior design. The stucco and
brick chimney, with its tapering pots,
copDer rain pipes with ornamental cop
per conductor heads. chapel entrance
with forged iron lantern in nightwatch
style. stucco and half-timbered exter-
ior walls and exterior forged iron hard
ware all emphasize the quality.
Roof Is Fireproof
A roof of fireproof shingles iii mot
tied colors and steal easement windows
to simulate the easements of the Eng
lish houses would complete the house
in deft English composition.
The interior is simply arranged in
q grouping of room space which well
permits of labor-saving equipment in
stallation. The kitchen could we'll be
equipped with drainboard sink under
its large window, where working con-
ditions would be at their best. Built
in kitchen cabinets and ventilating fan
could also be installed to advantage
here.
Living Room Is Ample.
Notably good size is given the liv-
ing room by extending 1t across the
entire face of the house, and small
lavatory is conveniently adjacent near
the entrance as is a closet for coats
and wraps. A large open porch at
the other end might well be fioorcd
with tagging. common brick or con-
crete marked off to represent tile.

Statistics Show Increase in Per.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, July 21.--The demand
for apartments in Baltimore is on the
decline rather than on the increase.
as in other large cities, according to
Warren T. King. realty committee Sec
rotary of the Baltimore Association OF
Commerce.
In 1921. the peak years OF the hous-
ing shortage, when many two and
three story dwellings were converted
into apartments, figures show that los
per cent of the population of the city
was housed in apartments and IS per
cent in single-family houses.
In 1927. however. despite the erec-
ton of numerous large apartment
houses following the war, the popula-
ton percentage in apartments dropped
535 This, the figures disclosed. was
due to many persons who lived in two
family apartments moving into single
family homes.
