City Lighting Matter
of First Importance
An ornamental street-lighting system
that affords adequate illumlnaton
at night, and also Is inconspicuous la
the daytime, harmonizing closely with
the general scheme ef architecture In
the various parts of the city, is a
source of great municipal pride. A
city may have many beautiful thoroughfares,
but their beauty Is not tppatent
at nlg|it unless they are properly
Illuminated.
Proper lighting Implies that the tn=
tensity of Illumination should be
,t? varied to meet the requirements of the
re different sections of the city. 8treets
q. and avenues In the business districts
B where the traffic Is heavier, for Ing
stance, require more light than those
In the residential districts. Just the
>u right amount of Illumination Is as
necessary for effective street lighting
as is the right method of Illumination.
t. The Inafalloflnn a# a mrr\r\A Kirhtln#
aiic iiiawmuvu vi m ?wu n^uitu^
system Is something that demands
considerable thought and planning.
Not. alone the street-lighting system,
but also the ornamental posts, the
>d kind and shape of glassware, and the
proper placing of the posts must be
" given careful study,
j There are many streets and driveways
which are beautifully lighted at
night but which lose all of their pleas"
Ing appearance by day. This may; be
e> explained by studying the lamp posts.
>r It wUf be found that the posts Ine
stalled are huge and clumsy, poorly
located, and do not harmonise at jail
e- with their surroundings. The posts.
In fact, have marred the entire aspect
a of the street by day. ?

Since the day when the Assyrians

genius of man has wrought great Itng
provements la brick. Nowadays It
la turned out of the kiln In nearly
a every color and shade, In every degree
of coarseness and fineness. It dams

mere was onc4 a time when tM
mortar joints wars rafarded as aa
nnwelcome necessity, bat that time la
past Modem art has shown that
mortar can be made a nUnable ally In
attaining the ultimate object?beauty.
With their unlta of many colors, the
architect and the clever brick worker
create a surface which has the lookj
of a skillfully worm fabric, thus the
bonding together of brick permits
varied effects In what the architects
call "texture." Brick baa such a quality
of humanity aa clings to no other
substance that goes lata the making
of a house.
There Is always the knowledge that
here Is the work of human hands?
that every piece was wade by man
and put Into place by loan. The effect,

of lasting vitality.

Home-Owner's Value
.i The lose of one potential home owner
eventually means the loaa of Incalculable
wealth to the community.
This was the opinion of Howard W.
Elmore, vice president ?f the Chicago
real estate (ward and now chairman
of the committee of administration of
the sixth annual "Own Tour Homo"
exposition.
"When a community falls down on
' the Job of securing even one family
as permanent residents, It not only
leeee the sale of a house and lot, but
It loses the "upkeep" en that family
for a long period of yeaira," he said.
"One family may hare many children

By WILLIAM A. RADFORD i
Itr. William A. Radford will answer i
questions and give ADVICE FREE OF
COST on all problems pertaining to the
subject of building, for the readers of 1
this paper. On account of; his wide i
1 experience as editor, author and man- |
ufaoturer, he Is. without doubt, the .
highest authority on the subject. Addross
all Inquiries to William A. Rad- 1
ford. No. 1117 Prairie avenue; Chicago, |
111, and only lnolose two-cent stamp i
for reply. f
Almost universal ownership of ad- <
temeblles makes the garage an lmpor- i
tant consideration in the planning of
the present-day home. By far the j
meat common arrangement is a small I
separate building, to combine the r
garage with the house and thereby t
sail a such additional convenience as <
the acceeelblllty of the garage from f
the house without going out of doors <
When such a design Isj properly <
V'fJ It la highly desirable] but care 1
should ho taken to avoid making the <
garage appear to be an addition merely
"stuck en to" the house proper |
sad also to subordinate It so that It
doss not appear as too conspicuous a
of the whole design.
This problem baa been well handled J
la the house which la shown with the
aid of a moat attractive gateway t
vfclab admits to the service entrance I
t? the house and also to tbe garage, s
The stMM walls, on frame construe- t
Htli lend themselves very satisfactory?
to this treatment, and the shin- i
gtod porttoa at the living-room end la \
Tostlvely blended with them. Bite- \
(tor ernament Is strictly limited and <
simple la character. The gateway, al- |
ready mentioned, a well designed entrance,
the small-paned windows, \
tolshwmh at the top of the chimney t
and a panel effect la the gable, are j
the aam total of the ornamentation. <
Thy loor plan shows a most onMHl
and practical arrangement of <
the aaasntlal rooms. From the ter- '
raaa porch, entrance la made into a '
inception and stair hall, and from '
this directly Into the large living '
reom. Baek of the living room Is the <
?ti?teg room and. In tbe corner of the 1
bull Cleg, a ton porch. These living <
rooms are all well separated from the
kitchen and first-floor bedroom as well
aa from the garage. The living room
is provided with a large fireplace In
- -- -? - ?iL i?I,. I
the NBtir ot tne mm wau, uuiu-u
bookcases at one end and French
doors opening Into dining room and
a porch.
From the reception hall one passes
Into a hallway which gives access to
the basement stairs, a hall closet, and
a convenient lavatory. Beyond Is the
door which la used as a service en
trance and which opens from the
entry which, also serves the garage. '
flack of this hallway Is the kitchen
from which another' door opens Into
a small rear hall. From this there
arn doors opening to a second stair- 1
way to the second floor, the dining ]
i room and a" pantry with service win- <
dew Into the dining room. Still an- j
t otter door reveals a bedroom wuji 11

i most convenient arrangement of

On ascending to the opper floor we
find two large bedrooma and oaa
smaller one. The large rooms, placed
aver the living portion of the first
floor, are practically Identical, and
each Is provided with ah unusually
large closet, with shelves at both*ends.
The smaller bedroom has a smaller
but ample closet, and there are large
closets In the hall and off the bathroom.
The bathroom is conveniently
alaeed at the head of the stairs wlthn
a few feet of all the bedroom doers.
There Is a large storage space under
he roof adjacent to the garage struc:nre,
and a large balcony opening
from the smaller bedroom. This balcony
is decked with canvas and conld
easily be adapted to nse as a sleeping
aorch. It U entirely hidden from the
street side of the house.
Concrete Block for
Partitions Adviied
Basement partitions of concrete
slock or tile are recommended fer car-ylng
the weight of the floere and Inferior
partitions as prefsrsbls ts
seams and columns, although tor wide
ipans and heavy structures the latter
ire obviously necessary.
The rigid support afforded by latelor
masonry walls lnsnres that there
will be practically no settling of
loors or Interior partitions %nd reasejuently
little If any cracking of pUser
or loosening of Interior trhn.
Such walls afford fireproof lncloew
for heating equipment and fuel, online
steam, moisture and. odors and
provide isolation for fruit, vegetables
>r other perishables.
Concrete block and tils see much

ire used for. load bearing walla, wUl*
special units from four to alz lndhas
:hlck are often used for partition

Wider Flooring
Present styles of architecture demand
wide plank flooring for use with
the early Kngllsh, early French and
DoiOnlal hwe. Due to lumber having
a tendency alternately to take oa
extensive moisture and dry ont, one
manufacturer of flooring is producing
these wide planks, after lumber has
teen thoroughly kiln dried, of a veneered
or laminated construction, to
prevent shrinking, cupping, warping,
etc.
Stucco for Beauty
Stucco la one of the most attractive
types of construction and costs less
