COMFORTABLE HOUSE is
ONE OF MODERN STYLE

we're designing true to style. They
merely went ahead and built the
best kind of houses to fit the needs
of the day that they could create.
Today, we are conscious Of per
iods' in the history of the past, be-
cause we can place before our
selves the pictures and drawings OF
many buildings erected within any
span of time and note the similar
ity of details. Being style conscious,
we are apt to classify all modern
work according to its similarity to
some past period of architecture
If this similarity is not shown then
one is said to follow the Modern
Style.
1t would be a fine thing if we
could learn to create architecture
without giving a thought TO its
classification. After ALL the thing
which we want is harmony between
all parts, and this is the very eS-
sence of good style.
We should plan a house for a
modern family to live in with the
greatest comfort, using any and all
ideas to produce this condition.
Nothing that was done in the past
should be used, except when it sat-
isfies modern conditions. Just to
insist on architectural and struct-
ural forms because they are histor-
ically correct is wrong. On the
other hand, we have certain parts
to house that we use today which
have always been used, and there is
every reason for using those ideas.
The plan, arrangement. an d
equipment of a house is the first
thing that should be solved Out
OF this should grow the exterior and
the decorations. To reverse the
process and start with a pre-deter-
mined exterior, as with a photo
graph of some old Colonial house,
and then seek to fit a plan to this
exterior is wrong,
True style results as it did in the
past in first building to satisfy hu-
man needs and then making all
parts relate to the whole. In Sc
lecting a house of today, instead
OF inquiring about what style it be-

Owe are building small houses
for investment purposes. We know
that you recommend omittirg the
dining room in very small houses
and using simply dining a,cove.
Is it your experience that houses of
this kind sell readily?
A-Small houses without formal
dining rooms are not a modern in
vention. They have been used for
many years. In the housing work
done by the government during
the war, a large number of houses
were built on this order. Apparent
ly they were well liked. However
it is true that many people seem
to feel the necessity for separate
dining room. Some educational
work and experience will be reces-
sary to change this opinion. A
house with a dining room probably
commands more ready sale than
one without.

Half the Loss Through Walls

The first two losses are of the
same character. but are considered
separately on account of the differ
ent treatment which must be given
the walls and windows to reduce
them. The proportion of loss by
each OF the three channels is not
constant. 1t depends npon many
factors. such as the thickness of
walls and materials used. the fitting
OF doors and windows; whether sin
gle or double glass is used, etc.
In general. it may be said that
about so per cent OF tho loss is
through the walls, 25 per cent
through the windows and 25 per
cent by air leakage. IT is this 30

IS
SAFEGUARD TO
HEAT AND COLD
BY The Architects Small
House Service Bureau of the
United States, Inc.

One of the numerous problems
which confront the home builder is
that of proper protection against
cold 1t is generally thought OF as
q safeguard in cold rather than in
warm climates, although as a matter
OF fact the same principles of con-
struction which serve to keep
buildings warm in cold weather will
also serve to keep them cool in
warm weather. 1t has always been
thought necessary to take some pre-
caution in this direction. but it is
only during the last 10 or Is years
that any special attention has been
given to the production of materials
which are especially adapted to be
put into walls as insulators. This
does not mean that insulation IS a
new art. 1t has been highly de-
veloped in cold storage work, and 1t
was probably the success in this field
that directed particular attention to
its use in the building of homes.
Insulation In Name Only
Naturally since the demand for
insulation is becoming popular, there
are today many materials being sold

really have no claim to that title.
The question is how can the builder
select among the many varieties and
decide to what extent they are nee
essary and whether or not he can
afford TO use them at all. =.
1t might be well here to consider
just why it is that any inSulator can
help to solve the problem. Houses
are always equipped with some sort
of heating plant which the average
individual is apt to look upon as one
of the necessary evils, the size and
cost of which. as well as tho amount
OF fuel it will consume, depending
upon the dimensions OF the house.
As a matter of fact. the size OF al
house does not determine the heat
ing plant, but rather the amount of
heat lost from the building deter
mines it, and this loss is governed
by the construction. IL there were|
not heat losses a heating plantI
would not be necessary at all.
Heat is lost from a building by|
three distinct paths. First, by direct
transmission through walls and roof;
second, by direct transmission
through the glass; and third, by airI
eakage or infiltration. This leakage|
takes place through the cracks
around the doors and windows and|
to a certain extent directly through
the walls.

PARIS, Sept. 4.-French war vet
Grams decided today that if the
United States government does not
soon make the official gesture of in
viting the French veterans to hold
their 1882 annual convention in
Washington, returning the visit OF
the American Legion to Paris in
1927, other plans will be made.
Following the successful conven-
ton Of the American veterans in
Paris, the suggestion was made that
the French meet in America, an
idea which met with instant ap-
proval in France.
Since France had invited the
American Legion, officially it was
necessary for Washington to bid the
French an official welcome.
Congress has voted $4,000 as
preliminary credits toward showing
the French 'Poilus" a good time,
but that is as far as official Wash
ington has gone. President Hoover
is understood TO have turned the
matter over to the state department,
but as far as French war veterans
can learn, the matter has been
pigeon-hQled there.
During his recent visit in Paris,
Major Edward L. White of New
Haven, Conn, past national vice
commander of the American Legion,
promised that the Legion would at
tempt to get a definite decision out
of Washington.
