Proper Ventilation in Bane inent Will l)o Away With Sueh Inconveniences Dampness in the basement and un desirable odors resulting from damp ness normally can be eliminated through proper ventilation. Basement windows often must be placed partially or almost entirely below the ground level and outside areaways used to obtain the desir ed natural night and ventilation. Areaways for basement windows are often made too small. To pro vide effective light and ventilation, the width of the area should be at least equal to its depth Its length should not be less than the width of the masonry opening of the window. The bottom of the area should be about six inches below the top of the masonry sill of the window. The use of deep areas from which leaves and snow cannot be readily removed should he avoided.' Brick, poured concrete, concrete blocks and corrugated galvanized iron sheets may be used for area way walls. When built of masonry, -area-walls should be eight inches thick. When concrete is used, the walls may be six inches thick. The \ walls should rest on firm ground, and to prevent damage due to frost action the bottom of the walls should be carried below the frost 4evd ex perienced in the locality. Efficient drainage of the areaway is important. Good drainage may be obtained by covering the area bot tom with a layer of cinders, broken stone or gravel, or with brick laid in ; ifend and with open joints. When the | soil is porous no other special pro vision for drainage will bo needed. If the soil is of a type that does not permit rapid drainage, it is advis able to provide for positive drainage of the areaway by use of a pipe in stalled to carry water away from the building r. Good Designing Ls Also Necessary In Low-Cost Building Good designing in home construe tion should not be limited to dwell ings of the expensive type but sfeould play a substantial part in the development of the low-cost field as well. Since elements of deterioration are more likely to get a foothold in less expensive homes, increased care should be exercised in construction of homes in the lower-priced classes. Principles of plan efficiency, judi cious use of materials, and proper equipment, important in any class of dwellings, become of paramount importance-m the design and crea tion of the modern small home. On these features, to a large extent, rests the market-ability of the property. Fundamental choice of materials and the determination of structural design of homes should be made with a view to produce a house which is structurally sound, durable and reasonably resistant to use and wea ther. No dwelling, no matter how large or small, can make a satisfactory home which provides merely for the mechanics of living In any house there must exist a sense of comfort in \t< appointments and a feeling nf charm in its appearance and setting. The designing, the planning, and the building of a home by a family becomes a special art. ?Constant watchfulness nn the part of the home owner will aid in large measure the protection of his in vestment. Consistent vigilance will also safeguard him against the dauger of accidents occurring on his premises. -..; -?? _ Adequate inspections .should be made periodically to prevent casual ties that may result through falling of bricks, stone trimmings, and oth- I er materials loosened through age j and weathering. Reasonable precautions, in the na ture of repair work, will aid in the maintenance of property in a satis factory condition. ?. * GOOD PLUMBING! ? ? ? The heart of a home is its plumb ing.
