Architect Home Owners Institute.
The house which is finished in a
combination of materials on the ex-
terror walls must be very carefully de-
signed. Too many times we see houses
on which apparently little thought has
been given to architectural charm and
the resulting hodge -podge" of mate
rails leads us to wonder if certain mate
rial had run short necesSitating the
substitution of something else.
Every one has heard the statement
that new house should be designed to
fit the site. In crowded suburban COM
munitieS the most important of these
factors to be considered are the houses
on either side. To cite an instance, If
stucco house stands on one side of
your property and brick one on the
other the natural method of tying in
with these two suggests the house with
brick, stucco and siding in combination.
How can these be most pleasantly as
sembled in one house? Brick, because
masonry is the heaviest in weight, in
variably occurs at the base of the
building. The first floor walls, an ex-
terror chimney and a small gable. de-
pending upon design, may be pleasantly

The height of modern commercial

and interior arrangement are gaugec

produce, says the National Association
of Real Estate Boards in bulletin on
the use of urban real estate.
A skyscraper will bring the largest
return to one piece of city ground and
a one-Story hall will bring the largest
return to another; nor will guess work

In looking ahead to determine how
sustained a given use may be for the
land, it must be remembered that the
general wealth of the people in a city
where the property is located will have
a marked influence upon the level of
the values. and that the quantity and
class of its industries will be reflected
in the land val1es The bulletin states
"A city which is progressive will tend
to develop higher and more permanent
values than one which is not so pro-
gressive. Cities differ in their major
activities and their general business
conditions. This creates variations in
the competition for properties, in the
level of values and the demand for

Much Work to Be Done.
gwen after the right kind of build
ing has been determined, there is
much work to be done in arriving at
the highest and best use for CONNER
cial properties. A nationally known
organization was asked to finance the
construction of an Office building on
site near the tremendous Grand Gen.
trail Station in New York City. In de-
termlning the type of building best
suited to this site. it had been aScer-
tanned that the area would support an
office building. but the loaning organ
ization as we'll as the owners desired
to know how tall the structure should
be, what kind of interior arrangement
to follow, and what might be expected
in net income from the project. 1t is
significant that the loaning organiza-
tion had to know these things before
agreeing to finance the undertaking.
A real estate specialist, aided by sew
eral architects, engineers and contrac-
tors, drew up plans for many different
buildings of various design and from 20
to 100 stories high. Then the cost c.
each structure was ascertained and an
analysis made of the income each could
be expected to produce. These experts
finally agreed that this piece of ground
could be developed to its highest and
best use by placing on it a building so
stories high, and the loaning company
reported that it was willing to finance
such building.

surrounding real estate market from the
point OF view of the probable demand
for certain kinds of structures.
Physical Obstruction.
II the structure on a piece of land
Is not for its highest and best use. it
may stand as a physical obstruction in
the way of attaining the best possible
revenues for a number of years. For
example, in an Eastern city an obsolete
oulidlng on a prominent downtown
business location had stood vacant for
the most part of many years. The
changing character of the neighbor-
hood had made this structure a physi-

presented in this durable and pictur-
esque material. The lighter stucco
would serve as a finish for the upper
story of the building. Gable ends and
dormers, and particularly walls over
wide openings, should be lightest in
feeling. Siding is an excellent mate
rial to express this airiness.
If a building plot lies between stone
house on the one hand and frame
dwelling on the other, another happy
combination of materials for the new
house that will tie the three together
into a pleasing unity will be the use of
stone for the lower floor and chimney,
with shingles used above. Use Of white
wash, which washes of on projecting
stones to produce pleasing contrast,
is an effective treatment that makes
possible the use of mediocre grades OF
stone. A stone house because Of its
sturdy appearance may appear cramped
if located on too narrow plot 9

cal obstruction on this site and the
building, therefore, did not represent
the highest and best use of the land.
"A man who understood the prin-
cipleS of the proper use of the land

structure that met the requirements
of the area in its present state. cost

the completed property was appraised
short time later for considerably over

The evidence Is based chiefly upon
crumbly material found In the sands Of

thought to have been pulyerized corn,
which an analysis showed was bone

The culture Of the Mimbres Valley is
believed to have f1ourished 1000 years

are the first evidence Of cremation in
that valley and possibly anywhere, says

Another find deemed important was
a copper bell, use Of which previously
had not been known. A bracelet of 13
shells was found on the arm Of the
skeleton of female.
There were fireplaces and wall bases
OF adobe and stone. Some huts were
constructed Of wood.
The culture, according to anthropolo-

were destroyed has not been learned.
So far as is known the culture never
took root elsewhere.
