HomeTown PEOPLE ARE BUILDING HOMES That There Is a Steady Gain in That Direction Is Shown by Recently .Published Figures.It is a matter of Importance that the scope of howe-bullding operations in this country ls attalning large proportions.Statistics show a steady gain In this department of the bullding industry and indications are at present that, as the spring and summer advance, there will be still greater activities of this nature.Home ownership not only encourages saving but it has a pronounced sta- billzing effect on the churacter, habits and mental processes of the owner.To him particularly might be applied the words of Theodore Roosevelt, who sald: \u201cThe habit of saving money while it stiffens the will also brightens the energles.If you would be sure that you are beginning right, begin to save.\u201d Much has been sald and about the housing shortage in this country and the menace which has thus been fostered.Many evils both economic and soclal are resulting from the overcrowded conditions, part{cular- ly in the larger citles of the country.Many people are compelled to find existence In quarters which represent a step backward in thelr standard of living.This Is contrary to the fundamentals of human nature, for munkind.has always insisted upon progressing toward better living standards.STATE IS RETRIEVING ERROR Towns and Villages Throughout Penn sylvania Busily at Work Replacing Destroyed Trees.\u201cIn the past 22 years the state of Pennsylvania has planted 34,000,000 trees throughout the commonwealth and has 16,000,000 in nurseries awaiting the opportune moment for planting,\u201d snid a prominent Philadelphia official.\u201cPennsylvania is hard at work trying to bring back the state to its original condition of forestry, in so far as forests can be maintained in the present-day scale of living.It is true that Pennsylvania will never have the luxurious growth existing when Willlam Penn first arrived.It perhaps does not need so many trees as once flourished throughout the state, but it does need trees, and it is out to get them.\u201cWhat Pennsylvania is now doing, other states will do.Also, what fs being done in Pennsylvania shows the foollshness of destroying trees merely for the sake of cutting them down.There was never need for stripping the towns and villages of the state of their follage, but that was done, and today the people are paying the penalty for the sins of some of our pioneers.Even at the rate of planting which is now golng on, it would take 200 years or more to get Pennsylvania back to the condition of only half a century ago.\u201d written Earth and Trees Contrast.Look out of your window and view | your own and your neighbor's lawns.They are so nice and level, and you like them that way.But nature doesn't, for look at your trees.Your lawn is horizontal, yet your trees rise in the opposite direction, vertically straight up into the air, Doesn't it seem that nature insists upon contrast?It does and, in fact, contrast is one of her principles in landscape building, And with that we have learned another principle the master landscape architect follows In his work.Coolies Are Odd Thieves.Odd cases of offense by Chinese found In the records of the international settlement of Shanghai, Including the theft of a steamroller, and in another case that of a sawmill, have been surpassed by three coolles recently charged with stealing 15 tons of sand and 30 tons of gravel, 30 tons of granite blocks and 25,000 tiles.It was alleged that all the materia; had been removed surreptitiously from a contractor\u2019s yard, but the court held that there was not sufficient evi dence to convict and the defendants were discharged.Building.If you are thinking of building a home, here's a tip: Experts estimate that the average usable life of a frame building is twenty-five years.A brick building lasts thirty-five years.A stone or concrete building 1s good for 50 or 100 years, Divide the cost af the kind of home you are going to build by the number of years It'll last as shown nbove, ang ; you know how much the value shrinks yearly.Speed of Train Limited.A high-grade passenger locomotive can be run at the rate of 112 miles an hour on a heavy rall, straight track, if ballasted by a train hehind it to keep it from jumping the track.The heavier the engine and train, the more smoothly they ride.In actual practice.on account of curves and switches, the hig coal consumption at high speed and the frictional wear on the equipment, a speed of 50 miles an hour is not often exceeded over any considerable distance.Expense and danger forbid a greater speed.PLANNING HOME REQUIRES CARE Contractor and Building Material Man Can Be Helpful.HOUSE OF PLEASING DESIGN Frame and Stucco Home Made Attractive by Unusual Porch\u2014Looks Like Elaborate Structure, but is Not Expensive.By WILLIAM A.RADFORD Mr.Willlam A.Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of 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 all these subjects.Address all inuiries to William A.Radford, No.1827 Prairie avenue, Chicago, Ill, and only inclose two-cent stamp for reply.Hote builders are preparing for a busy season.Prospective home owners are actively engaged selecting thé plans for their new homes.This year promises to be one of the greatest from au building standpoint, as the prices of materials have come down considera bly from the cminence they have occu- picd for a number of years and in many sources.Some feature lun each\u2019 of the hues of friends may appeul to the prospective builder.Plans of other | signed, or that the contractor has erected way be Just what ia wanted if some minor changes are nade, It is us a suggestion to prospective \u2019 home buflders that the house shown In the accompanying illustration Is presented, At first glunce this house will | appear to be an elaborate structure, | But It is not.It is really a square | house, 28 feet wide aud 80 feet deep.| But the plensing appearance I8 secured , by the gable in the roof at the pro and.by the porch, Before studying the exterior appearance tuke a look at the floor plans that also are shown.The ! heavy lines denote the foundation, It will rendily be seen thut the foundation walls are straight\u2014there are no | angles that increaxe the cost of the Luilding constderably, The house is of standard frame con- | struetion, set on a concrete foundation, : Up to the second floor the exterior walls are covered with stucco, Above, | ordinary clapboard siding is used.The stucco may be applied over either wood or metal lath, or the patented stucco bases that all material dealers | handle.The contrast between the, stuccoed walls and the clupboards above the second floor gives this louse a most attractive appearance.Also\u201d the stuccoed porch walls and pillars and the turn of the steps are good features of this design, The house contuins seven rooms, three on the first floor and four on the 14:0O%15:0\" nany places the skilled labor required 8 accepting lower wages, Planning and bullding n home is not a step that can be taken hurriedly.The selectlon of the plans requires much thought.How many are in the family;
