Those Wanting Something Different' 7^ Find Appeal in Bungalow Plan By W. A. RADFORD Mr. William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to practical home building, for the readers of this paper. On account of his •wide experience as editor/author and manufacturer, he'Is, without doubt, thw highest authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to William A. 'Radford, No. 407 South Dearborn treet, Chicago, 111.; and only inclose t stamp for" rfeply. ; ' Practically every orie who builds a •home,-except those who put up houses to sell, wants and seeks individuality. Few people erect homes with any other expectation than that they will live in them many years. For this reason, they select designs that are different from those in the neighborhood, for that is what lends distinction to the new home; It reflects the "individuality" of the owners. Nothing is so inartistic as a^row of houses that all present the same , appearance. Undoubtedly the reader has cast his eye along a street In which the homes were all built at the same time, by the same builder. There may be slight changes in the roof lines of the different houses; the porches may be larger or smaller, and placed at different points; but the general effect has a "sameness" that leads to the thought that "here is a neighborhood of a(j people who have no ideas, or, rather, no ideas different from their neighbors, when it comes to building a home." I To meet this desire for something different from the general rim, architects have racked their brains, called "on their experience and education and have evolved from their minds so many different home designs that there fs little if any excuse for the prospective builder to have anything but a bouse,that is distinctive. Of course, in following this idea no one 4 right of the hall through a cased open ing Is the living room, which Is unusually large for this type of house-r 13 by 22 feet. At one end Is a fireplace, which may be fitted with a gas grate, wher«r;gas is obtainable, and on either side of the fireplace are bookcases. Over each bookcase is a window, while at the other end of the room are four windows. These windows, coupled -with the double, folding french doors leading to the sun parlor, make the room .light and airy. Th« sun parlor is of exceptionally good size, bei'n^ 10 feet wide and 15 -feet long. These two rooms may be thrown together, making both available for entertainments. Also, what will appeal to the housewife Is the opportunity for artistic furnishings, and arrangement of them, that this robin arrangement affords. / To the rear is the dining -room, an other large room, 12 by 15 feet in dimensions,! while at the rear is the kitchen, 7 by 11 feet 3 Inches. A door leading out of the dining room connects with a short hall. At either end of this hall are two bedrooms, each the same size, 10 feet 3 Inches by 12 feet 6 Inches. Between the bedrooms and direjctly opposite the door into the dining room is the bathroom. A goodsized closet iSjj connected with each bedroom. Another feature of this btingalow is the fact that its roof arrangement provides for a good-sized attic, the dormer windows on either side making it practical to partition oft rooms that may be used when necessary for bedroouts, or for playrooms for the children, or for any other purpose the housekeeper may desire. A basement extends under the whole of the house, providing space for storage and for the heating plant and for the laundry equipment. The dimensions of the house are*26 By 48 feet,,with a 10;f6ot extension at the front for the sun parlor. Considered from the viewpoint of unusualnesji/ combined with comfort that^c-omes from lar^e, well-lighted rooms- and the convenience of the compact arrangement, this bungalow design will be found very desirable b.v the.home builder who wants a house that has "individuality." A report of the state department of public health states that during the week .October 11-17 there was a 28 per cent julmp ih the prevalence of diphtheria arid a 42 per cent drop .in infantile paralysis- The state prison commission, among other things, recommends the formation of a new board of pardons and paroles, with each member paid a good salary an<f prohibited from engaging in any other business. In a unanimous opinion, on October 20, the Illinois supreme court held the prevailing wage law unconstitutional. The court's decision opens the way for resumption of work on many millions of dollars of public construction work throughout Illinois. P. O. Address; Route 3 WM. M.

Also, any of the -different home building materials may be used in its construction. This gives a chance for a row of bungalows <• to be very dissimilar and still give harmony to the appearance of a street or neighborhood. Such a bungalow is shown In the accompanying, illustration. A study of thfi exterior lines will tjhOw how distinctive It l*t ThfePe are lew straight lirlt?!*, but the angles and corners are graceful antl, as a whole, it Is harmonious. This home, of course, will c< st more than the average bungalow of simple design, but for those who want to put a little extra money into a home, It is a design that can be highly recommended. The sun parlor, with its five sides, in each of which there Is a window, orj windows, and the brick pillars that apparently support It, ,1s unusual. So are the roof lines and the entrance door at the side. ^ To realize how much room It hast and its good size and convenient arrangement all that is needed is to study the floor plans that accompany the exterior view. Two steps up lead to a small pltaform and to the exterior door. Inside is a small vestibule, out of which 'up three steps lead into a hall, through french doors. To the Leaded Glass Available for Use in Small House Liaded glass in the old English manner, with medallions or heraldic crests suitable in feeling and cost to the small home, is now available In rectangles or diamonds for as little as $1.25 a square foot in either domestic clear or colored glass. Medallions or centerpieces range from $4 upward. Installation costs vary according to "locatloij. Here Is news that will be really. Interesting to owners of small homes. Much of the charm and individuality of early English. Georgian arid Colonial houses was due to the use of leaded glass In their window openings. Along Vrith a growing appreciation of these old-time homes has come 'a revival of interest in leaded glass such as was used in,th<tai. Leaded panes are so much more interesting than mere sheets of glass and give a room such a cozy. Inviting appearance--at the same time adding a note of smartness to the exterior--that a tyuise Is materially Improved, and its resale value Is Increased through their dse. And now, thanks to the owner of one studio, the twenty-eighth generation of workers In stained glass, leaded glass wln jows are ob^inable >t a reasonable cost. Tha olden-i|>»ife feeling that things made during the period when good craftsmanship was the rule is one of the most appealing things about these leaded windows. Color is another. A bit of color judiciously Introduced in living room, dining room or stairway window brightens the Interior and make! f«r charm and Interest. The Illinois Agricultural association has declared, that hog cholera has broken out in almost every county of the state. A -statement of the U. S,.

The total tonnage for the week in Illinois was 892,000 tons, an increase of 137,000 net tons,-over the preceding week. Secretary of State William J. Strat-. ton recently called attention of Illinois track operators to th© reduction in their motor vehicle fees under an act of the last General Assembly- Truck fees will continue to be based on combined weight of the vehicle and the maximum load. However, the legislature reduced tile minimum fee from $12.00 to $10.00 thereby affecting considerable saving to small truck operators. Secretary Stratton . suggests that all truck operators carefully follow the schedule of weights and fees printed on the reverse side of trtock ,application forms in making oat their applications and submitting their fees* -h " V* VAite Sugar Sweeter Uncrose is the sweetening agent hi OTgar, White granulated sugar fg 90 per cent sucrose, while brown sugar If between 96-99 per cent sucrose.
