This pleasingly designed small home
was built in Circleville, Ohio, with the
assistance of S4,500 mortgage insured
by the Federal Housing Administration.
The second floor is unusually well sup
piled with natural light and ventilation
by means of well-placed dormers and
adequate side windows. Another feature
worthy of comment is the closet space
provided for each room. The living room
has a high degree of privacy. 1t is not
necessary to pass through the living
room to get to any other part of the
house, an arrangement not altogether
usual in a small house. Fanlight above

 He has had outstanding success in his coaching of cross country, his teams winning The Farrell Trophy in the Harvard Intercollegiates in 1892 for being three times winner of the runs.
 In competitive gymnastics Spring field has always had a strong team meeting the best men in the country from Navy, Dartmouth and other eastern colleges.
 His work has always been pro- gressive as evidenced by the adop- tion of dances for men as arranged by Ted Shawn.
 Anyone attending an exhibition presented by Coach Judd should witness the best exhibition of mod ern gymnastics in the country.

Unbeaten Borough Boys at Wilby Gym Tonight;
 Fans Excited

Naugatuck, Jan. 9 - The Naug- atuck High school hoop team will go to Waterbury tonight. with the strong determination of making Wilby High it's tenth straight vic- tim, but the members of the team and their supporters believe it will be no easy task.
 It is recalled here that top-notch Garnet teams in the past have often been upset while playing the Wilby gym and as consequence, there is no over-confidence on the part of the Foleymen.
 Although the records of the two teams would make Naugatuck fav- orite, there always has been a keen rivalry between basketball teams of Wilby and Naugatuck and a close contest is anticipated locally.
 There is little doubt but that a large contingent from the borough will make the trip.

 AS soon as it was over everyone filed into the streets to discuss it. NSr was the weeping confined to women; grizzled coal miners brushed back tears.
 Results of the rounds were con-
