(Ity Charles It. Miller)
Tho building of n home of your
own will develop in you an added
interest in your family, your com
munity and your country such as
perhaps ou have never felt be
fore. Since tho beginning of hbttory,
protection from Iho elements, was
made in a cave among the rocks.
;l mud hut. iglo. wigwam, tent or
cabin, and these shelters were
known among the people as home.
even today among the savages,
each family bias a place of abode,
and the history of civilization
proves, that in the home-owning
aspirations of lis citizens lie the
hopes of the nation. And no nation
i'an be enduringly gn at whose ma
jority does not consist of home
owners. There is an old legend
that we all learned when youngs-
s In school that K;iid. "The mag
rights of property turned Hol
land's Siiud lo gold." It is 4 11 nd
economics 10 assert that t Ih-hc
home owning dreams furnish the
most solid foundation for a nation's
credit,
Ho Sure of Slur.
Inasmuch as a home is produced
by the combined use of land,
money, labor and materials, the
first step for home builder to
take Is to seek an adequate site
ami consider tl from ull viewpoints,
economical, social and aesthetic,
for the choice of local Ion is of
great importance.
No person should commence tho
building of a home without having
adopted a well and fully matured
plan, including oil the d tails of
its internal arrangement, the size
and situation of the various rooms,
halls, closets, etc.. and the exact
location of the stairs, chimneys,
doors and windows. If these de
tails are not followed carefully, se
rious and expensive mistakes are
almost sure lo hi' made ami money
wasted In needless alterations nnd
changes. If you do not know what
you want, you are not prepared to
build. Adopt no plan hastily, it
should bo carefully studied, exam
ined in every way and looked at
from every viewpoint.
Miany Things to Consider
In the first place your house
must be adapted to the site you
have chosen, for a plan may be ad
mirable for Itself, and yet very nn
suiled for every site. If the plan
Is adopted first, tho site must be
selected in accordance with the
plan.
Consider first what accommodn-t
tions are needed and essentiul to
your comfort, land then study the
conveniences and appliances you
can afford to add to tho plan. At
the same time you must realize
that the three elements which en
ter any building problem are cost,
dimensions and materral. You can
fix upon any I wo and tho third
will determine, itself.
Plan with a cbnscleiitlous re
gard for the proper aspect of the
various rooms, nnd for the con
servation of steps, which in the
; functioning of housekeeping means
domestic contentment and bodily
i economy, avoid peculiarities in
plan and nnsymmet rieal rooms,
1 study the location of tho windows
and doors. In conjunction with the
'positions of furniture.
The law of fitness applies to all
the details of tho house ns well as
its general form- Jn spile of tho
different types of homes, und there
are a great many types. he good
examples all manifest the same
characteristics. Hie pimple mass of
the exterior. Materials exercise an
immediate and strong influence on
typts of buildings.
Every house if possible, should
have grounds surrounding it, und
(hey should correspond In extent to
the size of the house, for the
grounds are the setting of the home
and the base of the monument ot
every man's dream. The interior
and the exterior of every hume i.4f
a natural reflection of Its oecu-
ints, ami should be I horoughly
.Miudh'd before (he plans have been
put Into execution.
