What d4,you consider necessary Is there any plan of placing these and any advantages to be galrd? A This matter nsualiy receives scan attention. It Should b carefully cpni nide red by the) owner, , with the purpose of providing electric connections where they- will be most convenient Thr should be outlets for floor lamps In the living room ; for bell and grill In the dining room; for grill and Iron in the kitchen; for floor lamp and vibrator i 14 bedrooms: in ihall. outlets for vacuum cleaner. All should be located so as to fit in with probable positions of furnhf ture. There Should be power outlets in the basement. All of these are in iad4 dttlon to the outlets for general illumtna-! tion. Study your: housekeeping; have an electric outlet Installed wherever ! It win make housework easier and livinC mors comfortable. i . '. . Q Do you recommend linoleum or for paving bathrooms and kitchens? A Ws. recommend ceramic tile bathroom as toelnr more in keeping With tbe fixture. We recommend linoleum for kitchens, for the reason that it is mere readily cleaned and because it Is easier to walki on than ceramie tile. 2 Please advise me about the color scheme of our kitchen. The room fades north and west. Ws desire to paint the walls and prefer a color scheme as light as possible. Dp you recommend an abso lute whits treatment throughout; . A Sclentifiol experiments mads ;by paint manufacturers havs ' proven that the various shades and tone of color are Important factors In reflecting light from the walls and thereby Increasing illumination in your noma. A well paint ed pure whit n flat tone gives you 7 per' cent reflection, whereas the same wall painted in bright sage green gives 43 per cent reflection. Suppose you paint your kitchen aj color known as forest green. Tour reflective value would be only 21 per cent, whereas, if you painted your kitchen in ivory, you would get T2 per cent reflection jTae difference between these two paints and their light reflective possibilities would not only have a tendency to decrease the apparent else of your room, but it might make all the difference la the world in the cheery. bright appearance so desirable in your kitchen, whereas by the use of a dark color there is a possibility your kitchen work will be don with less speed and more fatigue.- Color Is a very Important factor from both a health and happiness point of view. Investigate It carefully, not only the kind of color, but the re flective percentage.;:; ! . j f Q Are there1 any simple roles which a lavman can use to raid him in the matter of good taste In. horn furnish ing T - iu A When it comes to actually consid ering the arrangement of your borne. there are four important things to keep In mind. First; each room should have! center of Interest.' Second, the furnH tors should be arranged with utmost care. Third, empty space should be bal anced with pictures or hangings.: Fourth, each room shoud be harmonious in color. Take your living room for an example. In Quite the sam way that a theme; forms a dominant i and recurring note' in a composition, a well arranged room! has a, center pf dominant Interest to which all other! furnishings In the rooms are subordinate or related. In your liv ing room perhaps ; this dominant Inter est -would be the 'fireplace, a beautiful piece of furniture, a piano, a good paint-i ing, bookshelves, or window overlooking the garden. Whatever it may be. the room should suggest as you enter It a, dignity of proportion: and beauty due to nice relationship between the furnish- ngs and the open and plain spaces, the doors, windowsj, ete. Perhaps you have entered the rooms that appear to tip; forward or sideways, This is du toj crowding or massing a number of pieces of furniture Into a corner or against ga aids wall. The width.' height and style of your living room win determin to a certain aegr the type ox furnltur yon will select. Each plec of furniture, each object in the rom should be m study In color, form, height and purpose in order to secure what! decorators call balance. Keep in mind that your home furnishing ts a matter or balance. ; Groups of ob jects a table, painting, candlestick and ifle may be balanced by a rather plain wan space opposite. j There are ; many helpful books ob home furnishing.

Central ia promises to be one of the cleanest cities in the Northwest if the plans of !W. F. Walker. ; painter, work out Already Walker has secured 20 Centralia business poultry Industry, There are two -ways to arrive : at the estimated cost of your new home.:: First, Is the "cubage estimate." This means figuring the cubic contents of your home and multiplying it by a cubic foot cost. This cubic foot cost varies in different localities. A reliable estimator or one actively engaged . in home build ins can tea you whatyour local cost should be. To arrive at the cubic content of your home, figure the height from basement floor line,, half way through the attic Count the .porches . at ; one-half their cubic -' contents. ;r When porches . are glased count them at full content. Suppose your - home contains .15.000 cubic feet and your local cubage cost is 30 cants per cubic . foot. ' The total cost of , your home complete. Including beating, Usrhtlng, plumbing, painting, would be $4500. I - TAKIJfG BIDS FB.03T COSTTBACTOBS Cubic foot estimates vary according to the Current prices of labor material and equipment. At best, on residence work, a cubic foot estimate Is only ap proximate. It is more accurate on larger buildings. The second way to obtain an estimate is to submit your plans, specifications, working drawings and bill of materials t three or four reliable contractors or builders. These men will offerto erect your home at a stipulated price, with the understanding that the plans and specifications are not altered. If you prefer, you can asx was irom a general contractor, or can take separ ate bids from masons, plumbers, carpen ters, electricians, : steamfitters. , By ad ding up the lowest bid for each trade you can find out what the total cost will amount to. It Isn't necessary to let your house to the lowest bidder, although it is cus tomary If the contractor la a man of reliable reputation. Bids submitted to contractors vary. Contractors may make mistakes In figuring your list of ma terials. Others require a larger per centage of profit HIGHEST T.:. LOWEST BIDDER If you provide well prepared spec! fications, they should Inclade this clause : : The owner reserves the right to reject any and all bids." Contractors and builders understand that the lowest bidder may not be selected. If you let the entire work to a builder, he wlU provide the working materials for the erection of your nome com plete with plumbing, heating, electric work, etc Tou have a single Indi vidual to deal with, responsible for the entire job. If anything roes wrong. you can get at the difficulty Quickly When separate contracts are let,: some one must see that the various tradesmen gt onto the lob quickly. Delays may occur which will cost two or threel weeks' time. Letting a single contract may up" your building operation and you of much worry and endless detail. The surest way to protect yourself against increased building cost and to arrive at an absolute and accurate understanding as to how much you must pay for your complete heme is first to provide yourself with a complete and detailed set ot plans and specifica tions. : ji FINEBATHJH are important in a new home, whether you are baild ingr it to sell or for, yourself to live in and enjoy.
