A NEW DESIGN - FOR AN ATTRACTIVE SMALL HOME 'i 1 - i' A Three Room Bungalow That May Be Built with. More Rooms, or to Form Bungalow i Courts Having the Double- Advantages- of Apartments and Separate Homes. , An important factor in apart ment ho.ise construction In Cali fornia cities of recent years Las been the development of the Tun gsiow coiirts. Ti ese bungalow courts possess all of the advan tages of apartments, with the ad ded advantages of separate homes. The bungalows are group ed around a central court aud range in size from three or fonr room units to more pretentious dwellings. They are in great de mand and command attractive is the small alcove which contains a hidden dresser and an extra door bed in a ventilated closetj. This latter 1 a convenience, as frequently every family finds oc casion for additional sleeping ac commodations. After replacing -the bed In the closet, the alcove becomes a dressing space. v. A coat closet is conveniently placed In the small hall opposite the bath! The bath room, with its tile floor and .built-in tub is easily -kept clean and shining. It -i ft-. n , . .v . iJUA ,lin . V-V. ?y&kz.,-i "The j Highland: INY LIVES LOST IFJ Ml Coal Industry Takes 1 950 Lives During Year -Loss Increases rentals, and are therefore becom ing more and more an attractive form of investment. " "The Highland," Illustrated on this page, would be an excellent plan for a unit of construction in one of these courts, or would be equally attractive for a small pleasant home by itself. To one desiring an attractive, comfort ably arranged home at a modest price, this . plan should appeal with particular force. The loadwbearing walls could be constructed pf burnt-clay com mon brick or burnt-clay hollow, building tile, and faced with a rough textured red burnt-clay brick. Burnt-clay ware 'does not disintegrate with time nor can it be ' destroyed by the elements. Furthermore, the colors will not fade nor run, as on imitation bTick, artificially colored. The rough texture of the rug briek softens the appearance of the walls. ' ' i The Arrangement The plan provides for a con genial living room and dining room arrangement, a light, airy kitchen, and a 'bedroom and bath. A particularly interesting feature f is also equipped with, a medicine cabinet and towel closet. The kitchen, is a good size large enough, without' being too large. A cupboard at TTone end does away with the ne4d for a pantry.' This cupboard, as well as the hanging china closet tin the dining room, is standardized mill work and can be secured out of stock. The ice box, placed In the rear entry, is , readily accessible and can be filled without enter ing Into the kitchen. ' . The fuel bin is equipped with an Indestructible metal coal chute which does away with the usual broken and damaged condi tion of an ordinary basement win dow. For a small, inexpensive home "The Highland" offers many cov eted qualities. The plans and specifications for "The Highland" came with the July, 1921, number of "The Per manent Builder," the only build ing magazine devoted, exclusively to permanent building materials and methods. The Salem Brick end Tile company has a fairly complete file and would be glad to show the magazines to aiy de siring to see them. Hackett, L. V., ditching, putting in tile, etc... Park, W.

Re ports received by tne: trnlted States Bureau of Mines from state mine inspectors indicate that 1950 fatalities wag the toll of human lives exacted in the coal industry during 1922. This Is a tentative figure based on actual reports cov ering 11 months 'and an estimate for December based .upon the probable output of coal for the month. The estimate represents a reduction of. 23 fatalities' from the total for'1921, but will not rep resent a -lowering qf -, the death rate. In relation' to . the quantity of -coal produced ,the accident rate will be actually higher than for the previous year, the report said. ' ' . , ; MincN Shut Down In a summarization, of the year's record, bureau statisticians point out that from the first of April to the last of August a large part of the' industry was closed down on account of a . miners strike; the production -of , fresh mined anthracite was -copletely stopped; and the output of soft coal was cut in half. This stop page naturally eliminated "1 he ac cidents that would have occurred had the mines been in operation. The net results therefore, was that the fivej-month peri d of the strike showed an abnormally low number of fatal" accidents, and this" reduction will, of course, be reflected in the total number of fatalaties for the year. ! ' The reduction f in loss of life, despite the striker shut-down, was not as large as it might have been (because of the , large number of lives lot during the year by mine explosions. The outstanding fea ture of the mine year was what the bureau olficials call "major" disasters, accidents In which at least five lives were lost. There were 13 -of these during the year, 11 of which wre explosions which together cost the lives of 261 men. During lt 21 there were only five major accidents, with a loss of 34 lives. Only three of these were mine explosions and they resulted In only 21 deaths. The largest killed 11 . men; the largest during past year exacted 87 lives, while another took 77. Explosions Studied On the basis of number of fatal ities per million tons of coal mined the death rate from gas and dust explosions in 1 9 2 1 was .only . 2 3 3 , while for the first 11 months of 1922 it was .731, more than three times the. rate for the previous year. The records of the past six or seven years had furnished grounds for the hope that' the' coal mining Industry wasr no longer to. expert ence the terrible explosions of . gas and dust which formed so distress ing a1 pari Of j the . Indtu try's Tec ord In earlier years, the statisti cians declared. For many years the bureau - of . mines j fcnd other agencies have Been ' investigating the causes of these explosions-and have been endeavoring to find ways, not only to stop them alto gether, but also when j they occur to stop them from traveling through the entire mine, desti-joy-ing everything in their path. ; Proper ventilation to prevent dangerous accumulation of gas1; wetting the mine to allay dust; the use of rock-dust to obstruct the progress of explosions; ; and other safety, measures i have been investigated and devised. - Yet in the face of What would seem to be adequate knowledge of the' sub ject, and sometimes, apparently In spite of intelligent recautions, an explosion occurs, causing the loss of many " lives and bringing de struction to property.'; Rock . Falls Rig Cause However, the grave loss of lives1 in ( the mines is not ' entirely at tributable to explosions, it was declared".' ; Less than 10 per cent of the fatalities are caused by ex plosions; nearly 50; per cent re sult from rock and; coal falls. The. carelessness of ' the miners themselves and their j disinclina tion to give time to ; take precau tions against the falls; are given as the reasons for that fact. Such accidents usually claim: their vic tims one or two - at aj time and they are attended by none" of the spectacular features that charac terize a large explosion. But It is found at the end of . the year that if falls of rock, and coal could have- been eliminated .nearly half of the lives lost in mine accidents could have been saved.' . t . The loss during the 11 months of 1922 resulted in 787 deaths, or at a rate of 1930 per million tons, as compared with! a rate of 2.012 for 1921; An examination of mining records over a long period discloses" little If any im provement in the record of this class of mine accidents..
