Mediun-P Priced Houses Declared Leading in Re-
Average Home
Cost Today
IsS4,300
Building, Loan Group
Sees No Change
Since 1885

CHICAGO, April 3.-That the
cottage type of home, averaging
between $4,000 and $4,000 cubic
feet with four or five rooms, has
been the dominant factor in the
home building revival Of the past
two years was pointed out today
by the home building committee
of the United States Building and
loan League.
Clarence T. Rice, Of Kansas
City. Kans.. member of the com
mittee, indicated q study Of one
family homes built in all cities
with more than 10000 population
shows that the modest dwelling
costing between $4,100 and $4,350
is in the center of the upward
swing today, and that the ma
tional average cost per cubic foot
is between % and "a cents, though
it varies widely according to To-
cality.
Small Houses Financed
Savings, building and loan as
ISOLATION financing for newly con-
structed homes in the tWo-year
period has averaged $3.50 per
house, the committee reported.
According to traditional practice
of these institutions the bulk
of their new mortgage business
has been with the home which is
definitely of the small" classifi-
cation. in many cases the home of
less than $4,000 cubic feet content
as well as the average-siZed new
home of 1900 to 10000 shown in
the committees analysis of home
building during the past two years.
There has been little change in
the average homes built in 1896
from that in 1885, as to size, Of
actual accommodations provided,
Rice said. The average home built
in 1885 cost $4,128 and the aver
age built in 1886 cost $4,367, a
$3.50 or ST. per cent increase.
Building Costs Rise
Figures on the rise in building
cost between January and Deem
Der, 1886, however, show that this
$239 was not spent to provide an
other thousand cubic feet of space
in the home, but to provide the
same general type of home at the
higher cost, according to Rice,
whose opinion is challenged by
many authorities who say building
costs account for only a portion
of the higher price per dwelling.
The committee surveyed the
Federal Home Loan Bank Boards
findings on the status of building
costs in 81 cities and found that
S per cent increase in cubic foot
costs was shown in this period,
exactly corresponding to the rise
in price for the average home
built in 1886 as compared with
the previous year, although other
authoritative figures show a rise
of only 3 per cent in building costs.
1924 Prices Prevail
The accommodations afforded
by the average new house, and the

a lovely soft sheen.
The fourth wall-the window

be placed-is painted. a soft
green tint selected because it Is
particularly easy on the eyes.
The ceiling is cream color and
the furniture is Of very light

There are pine bookshelves be-
side a desk, built the right size
to accommodate stock books and
a stamp safe which protects the
rarest treasures against the haz-
ard of fire. The main well dec.

with silk threads from each
country to representative stamps
arranged around the border.

there are innumerable appurte-

room, Miss Jones declares.

AIR CONDITIONING

Real air conditioning Tor my
home? Incredible. some house
holders would think. Yet efficient
devices of many kinds, produced
by several manufacturers, are now
available for air conditioning one
room or small house. as we'll as
large theaters and stores.
Warning is given, however, that
the term "air conditioning" is
used in several different ways. A
machine merely washing the air
but not cooling or heating or
hunnidifying its called sn "air
conditioner" and so are other ma
chimes which may fulfill only one
or two Of the several possible func
tons.
After a family has made up It's
mind as to what it wants, and
most families want heating, cool
ing. washing and humidifying II
they are to invest In air condition

MIRRORS

Glass manufacturers are now
adays talking proudly-and with
reaSon-about the increasing use
and usefulness of mirrors, in
stores, theaters and restaurants as
well as in privaye homes.
Introduction OF odern e"
trends from Europe started archi-
tectS to thinking about the beauty
and utility of mirrors, so that in
many Of the latest home designs
the old-fashioned looking glass;
which had out one purposes
augmented by a dozen devices.
One Of the cleverest adapta.
lions Of mirrors is in small rooms,
where glass around the walls
serves as reflector and gives all
atmosphere of SpaciouSness. En-.
tire side walls made of mirrors are
now established as an integral
part Of the design in powder
rooms, Railways, bedrooms, bath
rooms and even dining rooms and
living rooms. In some cases, only
a part of the wall is mirrored.
Another attribute of this lavish
use of reflectors is the saving OF
electric light current at night and
the better distribution of sunlight
during the day. On the other
hand, large mirrors have often
been built into interior walls prin
cipally for their decorative posi-
bilities.

flooring materials.
If existing floors are Of good
quality and need only a little care
to keep them looking well, fire.
quent waxing will protect them
and vent scratches. If
scratches develop on vanished
floors, however, it is wise to re-

and then put another coat of
Varnlsh over the entire surface.
New floors are of every con.
celVable variety, some intended
for use in definite rooms and
some suitable for almost every
part of the house. Many of the
latest flooringS are of shiny. easily
cleaned substances and capable of
being laid much more quickly and
efficiently than older types.
Besides the various kinds OF
linoleum, now available in de
