HE old mission style of architecture has given the designers of todajr wonderful oppor tunities for display of their skill, mainly for the reason jthat it lends itself so readily top!ain surfaces and to color schemes. V- - ' l ': : - In this well studied -design "the white stucco! walls. 'the; red. tile roof and the entrance with its round-top openings all suggest this style, which is typical of moat mission work. The plan and arrangement of the rooms, are in keeping, with the design... While it is not large house, being only 2$x30, it is large enough for a family of average sie. The ' bouse contains a good size kitchen, a living-room and dining-room combined, one bedroom, sleeping-porch and bath. Good closets are provided, and there is a coat-closet at the rear of the hall. A laundry is placed on the porch at the. rear. The fireplace, with bookcases at either side, in the ' living room Is a feature of the home, while ample wall space for furniture and pictures is allowed. If necessary, one could build a small basement; and by extending the kitchen flue into the basement a furnace could be installed. CHESTER E.

Yam ' - hilL ' Hltla- boro, Hn- I New Type- of Construction I Exhibited at Big Con vention m Chicago A . substantial, fire-safe brick wall, that can be built at a cost lower, than any other masonry wall now in use, was introduced in Chicago on Feb'. 10 to the brick manufacturers of the country. "... The wal - is the " invention , of William Carver,' architect of The Common Brick Manufacturers' as sociation -of America,, and will be shown for the first time at the annual meeting of .that; Associa tion, at Hotel Drake, the week on Feb. ' 9. The new wall is to be known as, the economy jvall, and as compared with the solid .8 inch wall, which requires 13 brick to a square foot of wall surface,, the economy wall uses only 7 brick to a square foot. ' The wall is particularly design ed to displace ; the unsubstantial brick veneer construction which is used in some parts of the country as a makeshift between all frame and masonry construction. , A veneer wall is -unsound. It con sUts of a 4 inch brick wall tied with thin metal strips to frame studding and sheathing. Veneer forms one of the worst fire haz ards possible in residential build ing, because the firemen cannot tell by exterior appearance that It is a sham and often enter the building in case of fire believing that the walls are self-supporting brick construction, only to be crushed by the falling of the thin veneer walls. ' The economy wall is, in the main., a four inch brick wall, but with 4 inch pilasters at frequent intervals bonded Into the 4 inch wall so that it becomes self-sustaining and. substantial.' -This wall has been tested, j and even though the' whole interior ; of a bouse might burn, these walls will stand secure. The wall also is so planned as to, give unusual pro tection around window; and door openings, and to provide a sub stantial masonry bearing for sec ond floor joists and roof timbers. For small dwellings, garages, and other buildings of light occupancy, the new economy wall will have advantage over any - other- con struction in use today.. Its -cost is approximately that of cheapest frame construction; is, much low er than brick veneer, and. far be low the cost of any waU built with hollow pre-cast units, j It also af fords a much warmer and drier wall than anything yet devised in masonry , costing less i than the olid brick wall. i Building Activities for Months of January Shown , The bulletin of the Chamber of Commerce carries a good story about building operations of Salem for January during the past six years and of the start that the city has towards a good record in 1925. i BuUding permits . issued for homes In Salem during the month of January are as follows: No. of .Total of Tear Homes " Permits 1920 6 ...?14,400 1921 3 .......... 8,600 1922 10. 28.200 1923 13 w9a 3 S J9 5 1924 ' 20 .......... 57.800 1925 24 60.300 FEEBLE MINDED CARES FOR EIGHT HUNDRED (Con tinned from pgt 1. put 2) at least an occasional ray of sun shine. ; ' . V : v:;:i ' ' -. Regular classes are attended daily, by those of the children who are able to attend, and they are taught to sing and read a little, and occasionally write a. word or two. This work. must, of course, be very elementary, and even then many of the inmates are not cap able of learning, while many' oth ers are confined to thefr beds.. Be sides the regular class room work, basket .weaving, book end" making and sewing Is taught. Social Life There, Too : - The social life of the inmates is not neglected... - Dances ' are held quite often, and picture, shows help to lift the monotony of their existence.: Every "public day for celebration or commemoration is observed by. the inmates, with some kind of a festivity The in mates take keen enjoyment in these activities. ' "A Productive Farm1'; s The institution bas a farm .con sisting of 640 acres, .upon which many of the Inmates work. From this farm all of the vegetables con sumed by 802 patients at the hos If - I r ' r, - f f I Since the earliest dawn of civilization brick has served the world well. Time has proved it to be the- one imperish able building material, supreme through all the ages. . Europe has ben a: land otlbrick houses for hundreds of years, and America; lis now emerging from the ''wood age" and leadership! in tremendous fire losses. Throughout Europe are magnificent brik buildings hundreds of years old, but still a substantial jand even more beautiful than , when ihey werfc built. 'jBridk is preserving the landmarks of our own history. The Old South Church in Boston, Faneuil Hall Jin the same city, Independence Hall in PhiladelphlaJ the Betsy Rosa house, and a host of other historic buildings, jail built of brick, are standing as firm ' ly as on the ay theyj were finished; , It is Just as im portant that the homesof today should be built perma nently. Askjajny mother 'w hether she, would like to have her home so b.uilt that j her children might return to it as long as they jkve and renew their childhood memories.

Last year 1200 galldns of pears, were .used by the institution,! anf still there were many; gallons sold, about $2200 'worth of ; melt, 50 tons of hay, and .82000; worth of oats were raised, above consump tion, last year, j A fine dairy herd is maintained at the Institution farm. - j ! : ; ;,"' J ; . , Ter Capita Cost Low f , . -The per. capita- allowed $y . the state Is only $15.65, which 3s less than that received - at j, either of the other state hospitals. Al though the farm goes a lonjg way toward the support 6f the institu tion, it can not fentirely Jdo so, and the scant appropriation!, f rain the state Is not sufficient to meet all the needs of the hospital. V Moore Room Needed f , Dr. J. N.

It . Is Dr. j Smith' hope that this legislature wilt grnt 'the institution enotlgh money ti build a much nee'ded cottage," and do some other repair work. There are 10 cottages and the adminis tration building at the institution at present, and; there is not room for many people Who ; should be in the Institution.

The boy sent to the institution is. liable to be very low in mentality. On account of the workings of the sterilization law, passed two years ago, inmates that could not possibly be paroled otherwise are Constantly being sent . home. The operations of this law will grad ually make a great difference in keeping down the number of in mates of this 'institution, and in weeding out the unfit of Oregon gradually. .
