RADFORD ; Mr. William A, Ivadford will Answer questions and sriv« advice FREE OF COSTvon 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, the highest authority on* ill "these subjects. Address all inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 407 South Dearborn Street, Chicago, 111., and only inclose two-cent stamp for reply. Some homes are designed especially for a corner lot, particularly if the lot is narrow in Its extent on one or the other of the streets. For a lot of this character the colonial home is excellent. It may be placed facing either one of the streets because of its design, one end appears to be the front A design for a colonial home that may be built either on a corner lot or an ordinary lot is shown in the accompanying illustration. As will be seen, the sun parlor Is built on one end and faces the street. This plan can be reversed if it is desired. The house is 22 feet wide by 28 feet long. It contains five rooms besides the sun parlor, bath and a sewing room on the second floor, Tl*ie sewing room, it will be noted from the LiWreW A&fcT«'Mo . i•m»«MmC YIfe'Kfe IIODKD floor plans, Is large enough for a small bedroom. This is a""true colonial design both in exterior appearance and the interior arrangement. The entrance doOr Is through an outside passage and leads into a narrow hall out of which runs the stairs to the second floor. As arranged according to the plan shown, the living room is at the left and extitiffo tlfe • wfrole"width Sf- the house, being 21 feet long and IT feet 6 inches wide. In the center of the outside wall of this room is set an open fireplace with french doors leading to the sun parlor on either side. The sun parlor is 19 feet long and 7 feet 6 inches wide and has almost continuous windows, making it a very attractive sunny and airy room. To the right of the entrance hall through a cased opening is the dining room. This is also large, being 11 feet by 12 feet 8 inches. At the back is the kitchen 8 feet by 11 feet. The stairs leading to. the second floor end in a hall at the back off of which open two large bedrooms, sewing room and bathroom. One of the bedrooms is 11 feet by 15 feet, and the other is 11 feet 6 inche^ by 14 feet. The sewing room Is 8 feet by 6 feet 6 Inches. Oft the two large bedrooms are closets of large capacity. It will be noted that these bedrooms are corner rooms and are light and airy. The house is of frame construction with clap-board siding. This following the colonial design so common in New England and making a most attractive house. Another feature that indicates the colonlat»4fce the half fan lights in the end gablts opening into the attic. This is a very attractive and popular home building design. Because its foundation walls are straight and as are also the side walls, It is comparatively inexpensive to build. At the same time It provides five large comfortable rooms and all the conveniences to be found in the modern home. Insulation Saves Coal, Adds Comfort in Summer Thousands of homes throughout the United States prove needlessly uncomfortable in summer and costly to maintain in winter because the builders, in trying to economize, have Ignored one essential Item of proper construction, the unseen but very Important insulation between the walls. G. W. Alder, construction f expert, makes this warning observation for the benefit of home owners In an article published In Home and Field! Magazine. la- many homes from one third to one-half of the heat supplied in winter escapes through the roof and walls, especially the former, It Is estimated. And the same houses in summer permit the sun's rays to penetrate until the heat inside is many degrees higher than it need be. In coal bills alone, such a house costs more than the price of effective Insulation within a few winters, Mr. Alder points out. He advises using any of the popa-' lar Insulating materials as sheathing between Inside and outside walls in homes under construction. The insulating board-type of material and the semirigid quilted kind are perhaps most effective. But the defect of the improperly insulated house can also be remedied by use of a loose, bulk insulating material which is -Injected between the walls , by means of an air hose. "Especial attention should be paid to walls exposed to the cold winds," says the Home & Field expert. "Wind has mjich to do with the rate of heat loss, and if there is an exposed north wall, additional Insulation should be considered for it. The roof is particularly Important. In some cases the heat loss from the roof may exceed the loss from any wall or, In exceptional cases, from all the walla Twice the amount of insulation pat into the walls Is frequently advisable for the roof." Painting Point Paint should be applied only when the surface Is thoroughly dry. All surfaces should be clean, smooth, free from dust, dirt, grease, mortar, loose paint and scales. Most Homes in Need of More Closet Space Most housewives at the first signs of the spring or fall seasons turn their thoughts to the care of the family clothing and to making their houses and rooms more attractive, convenient and orderly. So few give heed to their closets, though, and they so easily can be made Into convenient, attractive places for clothes; with Just a little good thoughtful planning, so much may* be accomplished. There are rooms, even houses, without a closet, but there are always corners where « closet can be easily - and cheaply built, and wall spaces in these rooms are places where broad but shallow closets can be built at* small expense. Closets can so easily be built much like the old wardrobes of the grandmothers or great-grandmothers of some of our readers, with two narrow doors built from the floor to the ceiling, If one chooses. The upper part with well-spaced shelves can hold one's hats, hat boxes and what not. Below the shelves put up a pole for clothes to hang upon. There Is still space at the bottom underneath the clothes for drawers or shelves at one end for shoes. It Is just as the owner desires. This is quite the most perfect type of closet the writer knows of. With the doors tightly fastened, the space Is kept quite free from dust and is not deep like a chest, so one may see at a glance where everything may be reached. Still, if the room boasts of a closet, it is only necessary to utilize the space to the best advantage. There Is generally room to build shelves either at one end or the other; tf not, build them overhead. These shelves can be made as wide or as narrow as the space will permit and the use td which they are to be put demands. Home closets are large enough for a set of deep drawers to be built In, with the shelves above for hats and boxes, etc. A wonderful place for extra bedding and pillows; or, if the bedroom is small with not enough space for dresser or chest there the ttUra room for clothing may be found. Seta Pet Bird's Leg One of the oddest cases tatc«a lit at a big London hospital was that of a pet canary which was given surgical treatment at the Seaman's hospital, Greenwich. "My darling canary has broken Its leg in wlrework of its cage, please do something for it," a woman appealed to the surgeon in charge. The delicate leg of the bird presented unusual difficulties^ but he succeeded in setting it after working for an hour. J .v-.< • Sapphire's Many Shapes Sapphires occur in such Igneous rocks as granites, syenites, rhyolites especially in rocks rich in aluminum, and also in metamorphosed strata associated with tourmaline, spinel and garnets. In the natural state, says Nature Magazine, they may be either double pyramidal hexagons or slxsided, barrel-shaped crystals or waterrolled, rounded pebbles. These gems are, next to the diamond, the hardest of all natural substances. How Toad Reproduces When it feels the urge for reproduction the American toad is drawn by instinct to some pond or lake to mate and deposit its eggs. These are sometimes left free In the water but usually they are attached to water weeds or other objects. It is said that this species of toad may deposit as many as 12,000 eggs at a laying, the number depending somewhat upon the age and size of the individual* - iLOcrtnt-s LAK» - Harry Matthews and sons, Robert and L<yla, were callers at Crystal Lake Saturday.

How to Clean Brick Walla The bureau of standards says that the efflorescence, or whlte-Jooking scum, on brick work is probabiy composed of calcium sulphate, together with some calcium carbonate. The best known method of removing this scum is to wash it with a 10 per cent solution "(by volume) of muriatic acid, followed with a washing with warm water to remove the acid solution. This should be done on a warm, dry day when the acid solution and wash water will evaporate rather than penetrate into the structure, and It will probably be necessary to repeat this procedure several times.
