HOUSE OF
CONCRETE
A House Without a Chimney is
Heated by Steam.
ELECTRICITY FOR EVERY USE
The Style of Architecture is of the
Plain Substantial Mission Type
This Idea is Carried Throughout
the Interior as Well
, A house of concrete!
A house without a chimney!
A house with plenty of artificial
light and heat yet without a bit of fire
No coal; no ashes; no soot; no dang
erous gases.
Such is the ideal Twentieth-Century
Home which Mr. F. M. Sinsa
baugh has just completed for his com
fort at Carrollton, Illinois While
this wonderful residence is now the
first of its kind in the world, it is,
perhaps, a good example of what the
average American home will be in a
few years from now when both wood
and coal have become too expensive
for common use. Wood is now too
scarce and high in price for common
use. Wood is now too scarce and
high in price for common building
materials and the time is already
here when, for economy's sake, ar
chitects and contractors are figuring
to construct all buildings of steel and
concrete. As the supply of coal di
minishes the cost is advancing so that
everything possible is being done to
husband the supply and see that
none of the precious stored heat is
wasted. Electricity, generated by
water power, is even now taking the
place of coal as a source of power
and the time is surely coming when
it will rank first as a soace of heat.
Mr. Sinsabaugh's Model Twentieth-Century
Home is 34 x 30 feet,
two stories high, with attic and base
ment and has eight rooms on the two
main floors. While Edison's idea of
a concrete house to be poured in one
big mould was not carried out, yet
the principal building , material was
concrete. The foundation and walls
are of concrete blocks. The concrete
was mixed and moulded into the
building blocks as required. There
was no waste of building material.
The floors are of wood and the inter
ior is finished in plaster and oak.
wood The style of architecture is
of the plain, substantial mission type.
This idea is carried throughout the
interior as well. The building is
fronted by a large porch 8 x 32 feet.
This concrete and wood finished
house cost less than $3,500.
The interior is roomy and comfort
able. On the left of the entrance hall
is the parlor, and on the right the lib-

rary; back of the latter is located the
dining room, connected by a pantry
to the kitchen. The chandeliers and
lighting fixtures are of hard wood
and stained glass, producing a very
beautiful effect
Ferhaps the most novel feature
about this wonderful residence is the
fact that it is heated by steam from
a central station. There is no noisy,
dusty furnace in the basement de
manding daily attention and tender
care all the long winter months.
Instead, the steam which usually goes
to waste about small electric light
plants is carried to the house by un
derground pipes. This steam pipe
enters the house in the basement and
the steam is carried to the rooms just
the same as from an ordinary furnace.
The rooms are heated with steam
radiators. Of course some special
arrangement had to be supplied to
furnish hot water for the bath room.
Near the ceiling in the bath room is
located a water tank which is kept
constantly hot by a number of small
pipes through which a continual flow
of hot steam is maintained. This
tank supplies hot water for the bath
and to the wash bowls located in two
of the upstairs bed rooms. The
house is also wired for electric heat
in case anything should happen to the
steam heating system. ,
When it is remembered that there
are no fires about this modern dwel
ling the visitor begins to wonder
how the meals are cooked. No steel
range is visible in the neat and roomy
kitchen. No sooty gas stove glares
black and threatening from the side
walls. The principal article of furni
ture seems to be an oak sideboard
or something that looks as though it
might be a sideboard. This "side
board" is nothing more or less than
one of the new General Electric
stoves. The back of the wooden cab
inet is a small switchboard and all the
utensils arranged on the stove are
connected to this switchboard with
suitable wires and plugs. A turn of
a switch and the electric tea-kettle is
singing over invisible heat. With
the same ease the frying pan, cereal
cooker, griddle, broiler, vegetable
cooker, etc., are made ready to do
their share of the work of preparing
a meal. Beside the cabinet sits the
electric oven wherein the heat is so
economized and concentrated that the
choicest roast can be prepared in less
time than it usually takes to start a
slow coal fire. The other electrical
kitchen devices, including the electric
flatiron, are used in the same clean,
simple and economical manner. There
is no sweltering heat in the kitchen,
no soot, no ashes, no dirt, no hot fires
for ironing days; no lugging of heavy
scuttles of coal from the basement.
In fact so easily and conveniently
are the meals cooked that the coffee,
tea and toast are prepared right on
I he dining room table. The electric
coffee percolator, at the turn of a
switch , prepares the coffee while
the ecrcal is being eaten and the toast
is ready with the coffee. The cost of
cooking the meals by electricity in
this home is estimated at less than
$3.50 a month for a family of five
persons.
By utilzing the waste steam from
the electric light plant the cost of
heating the house in cold weather is
reduced to a minimum. Besides it
saves caring for a dirty furnace and
handling coal and ashes. The room
that a furnace and coal bin ordinar
ily take up can be used for other pur
poses. With special meter rates for
electric heating the cost of cooking
the various meals is no more than it
would be if coal or gas were used and
the cleanliness, convenience and
health fulness of electricity is worth
more than money can buy.
The greatest inventor and genius
in the world has predicted that the
house of the near future will be made
entirely of concrete, cast in a mould.
Scientists have predicted that the
home of the future will have no chim
ney or flue. These ideas are all incor
porated in Mr. Sinsabaugh's Tweni.

but what they hud before and the
lose were clear losses.
Returns from 1.2(H) townships of
the state arc incomplete and it is not
possible to state with exactness how
many saloons will close their doors
30 days hence as a result of yester
day's balloting. The figures avail
able place the number at over 1,01X1,
being for the most part in towns
which had from five to 25 saloons

NEW CABINET FORMATION
Herbert Asquith gone to Biarritz to
Consult With King Edward.
LONDON. April 8.-Herbert As
quith who has gone to Biarritz to
see King Edward with reference to
tthe formation of a new cabinet, will
not return to London until next Sat
urday. The Daily Chronicle which
may be regarded as a good authority,
gives the following forecast of the
possible changes in the cabinet:
II. II. Asquith, prime minister and
first lord of the treasury.
David Lloyd George, Chancellor
of the Exchequer.
Lord Tweedmouth, president of the
Council. , .
Earl of Crew, Secretary of State
for the Colonies.
Reginald McKenna First Lord of
the Admirality.
Winston Spencer Churchill, Presi
dent of the Board of Trade.
Walter Runciman, President of the
Board of Education.
WILL GO TO PUGET SOUND
CONTEST A DRAW.
CHICAGO, April 8.-Thc great
liquor contest in Illinois has resulted
in a drawn battle, with the saloons
winning decisively in most of the
larger cities, but losing in scores of
smaller ones, 1,014 saloons being
voted out of existence.
The returns as collected by town
ships are even more impressive from
the prohibition view point, 828 town
ships, or more than three fourths of
the total number 1012 being closed
to the saloon.
Only by winning in the larger cities
did the liquor interest save them
selves from complete route.
Where the "grog-shop" was not an
economic asset in city government
the prohibitionists had the advantage.
Where financial questions entered
largely they lost.
Although they did not chase the
"demon rum" from the state they
profess satisfaction with the results.
They were the aggressors and where
they win it is clear gain,
The saloons were on the defensive.
Where they win they have nothing
Preparations Will Then be Made for
the Fleet to Sail From San Fran
cisco For Honolulu on Tuesday,
July 7th or Thereabouts.
WASHINGTON, April 8.-A pro
gram lor the movements of the At
lantic fleet, after the review by Sec
retary Metcalf, in San Francisco Hay,
on May 8, was made public at the
Navy Department today. The licet
will leave San Francisco May 18, and
on arriving at Puget Sound, May 21,
four ships will visit Port Angeles,
eight will visit Bcllingham Bay and
three will go to Port Townscml. One
ships will proceed at once to Bremer
ton to be docked.
On Saturday, May 23, all the ships
of the fleet, with the exception of the
one in dock at Bremerton, will ren
dezvous in the vicinity of Port Town-
send and proceed to an anchorage i
the vicinity of Seattle.
On Tuesday, May 26, 12 ships will
leave their anchorage near Seattle
and will go to Tacoma, so that the
people in that vicinity may have a
view of the fleet. Thence, without
anchoring, eight ships will sail for
San Francisco, leaving four ships at
anchor near Tacoma for a visit of
three days, when those vessels will
go to Bremerton for docking,
It is expected that the eight vessels
wil arrive at San Francisco on Fri
day, 'May 29th, where they will be
docked in succession.
The ships docking at Bremerton
will sail for San Francisco as soon as
practicable, the last one not to arrive
until July 3.
Preparation will then be made for
the fleet to sail from San Francisco
for Honolulu, on Tuesday, July 7.
This date, however, is only tentative
and may possibly be advanced if the
docking is completed sooner than ex
pected.
After the grand review in San
Francisco Ray on May 8, the Pacific
fleet will leave the next day for the
South to carry out a program of
drills and exercises.
ELKINS RESOLUTION.
Lawyers Face the Real Question in
Congress.
WASHINGTON, April 8.-Law-yers
of congress confess they have
run upon a real question in the reso
lution introduced by Senator Elkins
to suspend until Jan. 1. 1910, the pen
alties attached to the commodities
clause of the railroad rate bill. Mem
bers of the Senate judiciary commit
tee have investigated the Klkins res
olution and say that if it were adopt
ed in advance of May 1 it would vio
late the commodity clause so that the
supreme court of the U, S. would
decline to take cognizance of test
suits. If passed after that date all
of the railroads of the country which
transported, maintained or manu
factured articles which they owned
wholly or in part, would be liable to
the $5,000 a day fine. An effort is
now being made to re-draft the reso
lution so that it will meet the pecu
liar situation but the task is not prov
ing easy.
