However, prices remain firm at previous quota- tions, no recession in holders' demands being noticeable. It is stated that asking prices in some localities have been advanced in the face of the slowing up of sales. HEATING UNIT IMPORTANT The installation of the heating unit should be carefully investigated and the upkeep figured as of prime importance. No matter whether oil or coal is considered as fuel the heating plant installed should be selected through its economy of maintenance, and past per- formance is the one great factor which stamps its efficiency.

Sun Porch Essential Woman Writer Says A sunroom today is almost an es- sential in every home, in the opinion of Hazel H. Adler, home decoration editor of Needlecraft magazine. Mrs. Adler says, "It is the connect- ing link between indoors and outdoors, providing a comfortable outdoor liv ing-room in warm weather, a delight ful indoor living room for all year round, and in addition a suitable place for the children to play. "Practically all newly built homes have a sunroom provided for, while in homes where a sunroom is lacking a little ingenuity will provide a sub- stitute offering practically all of the many desirable qualities of an espe- cially built room. An open porch may be inclosed with glass or a room on the southern or western side of the house may be converted into a sun- room by the addition of windows." Mrs. Adler's article gives many val- uable hints for decorating a sunroom. Among other things, she says: "Composition floors in tile effect are the ideal selection for a sunroom. The same effect, however, may be obtained in rubber tiling or block-pattern lino- leums. One may select a pattern in black and green, black and terra cotta, solid green, brick tones or star- tling black and white. The color of the floor should, of course, be repeated in some of the other furnishing items of the room. Sunroom walls may be finished with rough plaster tinted a pleasant color. painted or papered. Matting, grass or fiber rugs are most appropriate. The furnishings should be preferably of porch character to preserve an informal out-of-door at- mosphere."

Mr. MacChesney is a graduate of the class of 1902 of Northwestern uni- versity and is a member of the law firm of MacChesney, Evans & Robin- son. He prepared the volume at the request of the joint commission on real estate education, representing the Institute for Research in Land Eco- nomics and Public Utilities, the Y, M. C. A. schools and the National Association of Real Estate Boards, for which he is legal counsel. Dr. Richard T. Ely of Northwestern university in a preface points out that the book deals with that which is bed rock in real estate and land economics. Rough Plaster Makes Rooms Look Smaller Rough plaster makes a small room appear smaller. In a large room, how- ever, the uneven surface of the plaster has an interesting texture, each little crevice casting its own shadow, giving a constant play of light and shade. The surface can be painted, giving the wall any desired tone. A rough wall fits in well with Eng- lish oak chairs and tables, worsted tapestries and East Indian and Nava- jo rugs. A plain-surfaced wall is more consistent with mahogany and walnut furniture, and the lighter furnishings which are appropriate for the less spa- cious type of rooms. Good Equipment Gives Many Homes Quick Sale A building operation on one side of the street will fairly sprout "sold" signs overnight. . . . . Across the way houses which seem to the casual ob- server like peas out of the same pod stand empty. How does" it happen? How can it happen? Is it all just luck? They may have used the same brick and stone and lumber; the same type roof and size of lot, and even a similar floor plan. But they differ on one all-import- ant point--the loser made a mistake in the equipment he bought. His houses are built of "just as good" ma- terials. WILMETTE BUILDING PERMITS Eleven building permits totalling $138,265 were issued in Wilmette during the month of August. were for new residences costing $36,- 000; two were for commercial purposes and totaled $91,000; eleven were for re- modelling jobs amounting to $6,550 and fourteen were for garages costing $4,715 USE WOOD FOR INTERIORS Wood, now more in vogue than the ornate marble of a decade or two ago for the interiors of elaborate offices and fine homes, has been used for in- terior finish for centuries. The early Romans almost entirely neglected the exteriors of their palaces, lavishing attention upon the interiors. Painted plasters, marble veneer and wood pan- eling were the principal materials used for beautifying the inside walls.
