TIIE SUNDAY ORECOXIAN PORTLAND. OCTOBER 1, 1922 STEEP GABLED ROOF OF CEMENT STUCCO HOUSE GIVES RELIEF FROM HOT SUMMER Prepare for the Long Win ter Indoors Buy a Vlctrola Bruoswick Heywood Wakefield-Librola , When you consider that nearly eight months of the year are "indoor months," which means that we all spend the greater portion of our lives inside oar homes, you have one of the principle reasons why we should make indoor life comfortable. With a phonograph every member, of the family will take a great deal of pleasure listening to the world's greatest artists, and all the new musical numbers of the day. As a Special Number This Week, We Offer . $90 Heywood Wakefield Phonographs at Arched Openings at Either End of Home Make Attractively-balanced Front Exposure Central Fire place Dominates All in Living Room Upper Floor Conveniently Arranged.

Htory-and-a-half bungalow with a flat-pitched roof will appreciate the relief from the stifling hea of mid Bummer afforded by the teep gabled roof of this cement stucco house. Homes of the type pictured here are found In certain parts of northern France, and many are being built in Californa and other states. It is safe to say that as their comfort and livable qualities become better known in this country, houses of this type will be much in vogue every where. Arched openings at either end of the house make an attractively bal anced front exposure The one at the right hand leads to a shelter ing recessed entrance porch, and thence Into the'large entrance hall, which really is part of the 12 by 19 foot living room adjoining. A con venient clothes closet might well be placed at the far end of the hall under the stairs. The other arched opening is one of three which make a most pictur esque terrace perch, connected with and adjoining tha opposite end of the living room. Screened in and fitted up with a coucJi hammock and a smoker's stand or sewing machine accessories, it is a most delightful place to enjoy a summer afternoon. Glazed, it adds another room to the house in winter, suitable for a chil dren's play room and one which will assist materially in keeping the re mainder of the house comfortably warm. In the living room itself a central fireplace dominates all. Just be hind, to one ide, is the dining room. In one corner of which is a built-in colonial cabinet, the design of which date back to an early period. Such cabinets may now be had from the j u X , , . KUOOR.

A built-in pantry case and kitchen cabinet combined, and a closet for the broom, garbage can and what-not are deftly ar ranged so as to be material step savers. Probably a better place than inside the kitchen for the refrigera tor would be a small covered closet placed on the back porch. Just out side the door. It should be well in sulated from the heat of the sun. The kitchen door might be moved to one wide and thus provide space in the corner for a small table. A conveniently arranged and roomy upper floor is found at the head of the stairs. Each of two large bedrooms has two clothes clos ets. The other has one. The bath room and linen closet are also found here. Two or more wide opening casement windows provide good ven tilation for each bedroom. The attic up above also nsures a comfortable temperature. The house has been designed to be built of sand-floated, cream-colored cement, plaster on plain tile. Cement plaster on metal lath is used on the wall back of the kitchen range and for the basement ceiling over-the heating plant and coal stor age, which we are told, are vulner able to fire. i There is a basement under the rear portion of the house provided with a concrete floor and walls which Insure dryness. and protection against rata and vermin. This make it especially suitable for storage of food supplies and as a place to do up the family washing. For the exterior color scheme we have, contrasted against the cream- colored stucco, bottle-green window blinds, white trim. and a variegated shingle roof. Most favorable results are effected if'the house be located so as to front LIFE ON SLEEPERS IS GAY AS ENGINEER TAKES DETOUR When Car Hits Bump, Man in Berth Below Comes Up and Strikes Passenger Smartly Through Mattress. THIS really won't be much of a sleeping car story because there Isn't any snoring in it. That's how you tell about sleep ing car stories. lou are never quite sure where the scenes are laid till somebody snores. then everybody snores, and you know, sure enough, that it's about a sleeping car. But I toured the White moun tains (which, as the guide book tells you, are older than any other American mountains, geologically Hpeakdng, and are singularly beau tiful, although not so altitudinous as the Sierras and the mountains of Oregon, Alaska and Alberta), in an upper berth, and I know every dip, spur and angle of the trip. I know this because we had a trick engineer who seemed to think that stunt running could be done just as well in a cab as in the fusil age or whatever the headquarters of an airship is called, and who seemed to be perfectly right. Also there was some comment by the- passengers, but this all related to the engineei, so they are not entitled to any special credit, and will receive none from me. I took the upper berth for the reason that all people take upper berths because the sleeping car company, always greedy for gain, had sold all the lower berths, which, paradoxically, command higher prices, before I got to the station. I might not have got into it so early, and thereby missed some of the scenery, if anybody in the smoking room had listened to me. But they were all busy talking about golf scores and when I chipped in a modest word or two about mine, they looked at me with raised eyebrows a second, then continued their conversation just as if il wasn't there. Well, after that. V all intents and purposes, I wasn't there, or if 1 was there 1 was so imperceptible as to- be negligible. When one man looks at you with raised eyebrows you can ask him who the deuce he thinks he is looking at or make some other such crushing retort. But when six men look at you with twelve raised eyebrows, and then all suddenly resume the conversa tion you interrupted with your "On the fifth hole at the Bretton Woods course" you sort of fade out. I got Into my upper berth with out the aid of the porter's ladder ( incidentally evoking a low growl from the occupant of the lower whom I inadvertently kicked in the small of the back on the way up), and begun to tour. As might be expected, the road out of the White mountains goes down hill. But ft doesn't go straight down hill, and it doesn't go steadily down hill. There are zig-zags in it and there are bumps in it. The engineer knows in advance where an inese are. ne must . nave a road map or something. He sneaked up on the first bump as if to take it by surprise, and when he got within striking dis tance he yanked out the throttle and leaped for it. But the bump knew he was coming and merely arched its back and waited. I don't know what happened to the engine, but the bump never budged. When our car hit it the man in the berth below me came up, till occupying the horizontal position and hit me smartly through the mattress. I took up the leap, in the manner of a relay race, and htt the rail over my head and we both landed bark where we came from at about the uie time. Contemporaneously a lady In the berth oppisite me cried out: "Merciful heavens! Where is Egbert?" I identified Egbert almost im mediately as the little child who had somehow or other filtered Into my berth over the curtain rail. Kgbert was"a sullen child. He seemed to think I ; was trying to kidnap him, and as soon as he re gained his breath began shrieking to his mother that a bad man had got him. Seizing him by the collar of his little blue pajamas I lowered him to the floor and he dived out of sight like a rabbit in a burrow, but his homing sense was not true and he dreadfully frightened a perfectly strange spinster in the berth next to the one out of ' which the en gineer, when bumping the bump, had, shaken him. By and by his mother-came and got him, and all was well till the engineer, who had been stalking a zig-zag. flnaHy overtook It and twisted the train about it with a corkscrew motion . that set us all oscillating on our shelves like the tails of very friendly dogs. Two more bumps and two more zig-zags followed, neither being tn j the least surprised by the engineer, and then a curious thing happened, i The engineer took a detour. j I wouldn't have believed before that time that railroad trains ever ! took detours, but this one was un mistakably doing so. Almost at right angles we turned off. and then began a succession of little ascents and descents and sud den stoppings such as occur when a car gets mired down in a deep road, or sinks into the mud on one side. - It became evident very soon that the engineer's judgment was bad. He shouldn't have taken this de tour. Far better for- him and for us had he waited till' the road was repaired or driven on ahead and taken his chances with It as it was. Sometimes we stopped altogether while the engine sent out a series of staccato but futile puffs which got us nothing but a slight forward impulse now and then. When this happened there would be a long wait, presumably to en able the train crew to get out and put on the chains. Then we would labor heavily up out of the morass into which we had sunk, pose on the brink of the next rise, and violently shoot for what appeared to be miles and miles dowji a steep declivity. At the end of one of these we struck the track again crosswise and a number of people got out of their .berths,, not, by design, but because they just naturally kept on going while the train stopped. It took fliite a while and a great number of screams to restore them to their proper places. When this was done the engineer and his as sistants . had - jacked the train up and got it on the regular track. He avoided detours therafter, but was unable to .see a bump ahead without making a long nose dive for it, with the result that I saw considerably more of little Kgbert than I wanted to see. Curiously enough everybody seemed fairly normal the next min ute, except Egbrt. who was sul lenly engaged in stropping a large jacknife xn hia shoe, which made me rather glad we were out of the White mountains. "Sort of rough weather last night!" 1 said to - the conductor when he came through to say that we all would have to change cars at the next station. "Cudn't be," said the conductor. J'Staha was shinin' all night, bright as buttons." (fopyriirht. 102-, by BM PvthI irate.
