Most countries hare developed -bne architectural style,' one material, suited in their needs and adhered to them with but slight variation. America, on the Other band, has i liot only? developed architectural ctyles of its own, but has 'taken those of other countries and adapted 'them to her require ments. And these styles have , not - been confined to their original materials, but have been expressed ia all of the . many materials in use today. ' . ; :;" ; i ' Few of the materials in Use to day are the products of this coun try's ingenuity for most of them : have been used for centuries.. In thts latter classification is port , land cement stucco. In crude j forms, as natured fashioned it in -her furnaces, stucco was used by ' the Greeks, the Romans and even j Older peoples. All through the history of home building : stucco Is, found. Professor Alphonse Ian tnelli, of the Chicago Art Institute, 1 after an ; exhaustive reeeareh 1 Into ; stucco as a home building materi r al. recently said: "Nearly every 'great. period of architecture and ' interior ! decoration has had its own characteristic effects in tex tured wall surfaces. These wall j surfaces are Just as characteristic of the various periods as are the different floor plane, roofs, win dows and other details. For ex ample, while the typical Spanish ; wall texture used a stucco with a ; heavy 'palm f lnfeh,' the represent 'utive plastering of an early Eng- .? lish -cottage had a sort of crude i trowel-texture." j Old homes ' whose . walls and structural parts hare finally set- tied .but whose, exteriors have giv- en away before " the ravages of time and the elements are afford- log an ever growings and more j profitable field for the stucco Plasterer. Today's practice favors ; nailing metal' lath directly over ; the old exterior and applying the stucco to the lath. Such a method affords an economical method for beautifying the house, giving it permanent coloring, and making it highly fire-resistive. The field is only scratched as yet but skill full handling "of such work by atacco plasters is making this an increasing source of work. , ' i While stucco has indeed enjoy ' ed phenomenal . growth; Jits use i i i M Formal 9 Suburban Opportunity (C3 n n - . - -.:. f '' $2,500 $2,500 17 . . 1 . 5 Acres 5 Acres waits the Suburban : Iloweseeker in tliis new addition. $875 t 16 2iJ ; Acres Ideal location $875 15 2H Acres Close to Fairgrounds $875 14 2H Acres "d car line. $O0 13 v - Y 2 H Acres lVircd : highway.

Sratonliorst a Co. r. otitp BTTfrrrr ; rifteen Years of Successful Set-rice to the Public has only begun. Day by day archi tects, and craftsmen - are finding new uses, new colors, new tex tures for stucco. ; Methods ; and practices have been bettered and made more uniform to the ad vancement of the American home Plasterers are making themselves more and more proficient in the Use of tbie popular material and bringing to its application the very old skill of their craft. To their skill in plastics is due much of the artistic textures secured by use of the trowel, the float, the covered block and the hands. Stucco is the plasterers contribu tion to more beautiful, better American homes. Stucco practices are Changing year by year and becoming bet ter. Most plaaterers are adapting themselves to the latest develop ments; all are anxious to learn of these developments. This article serves as an Introduction to a series of articles dealing with' the latest developments in use of color in stucco, tucco textures, ap proved methods ' of application. mixing, and perhaps, some others.

SAXTA BARBARA DISASTER STUDIED BY EXPERTS : . Brickwork has just gone thru the acid test and : comes out with laurels that must ceruinly in crease the favor of this type of construction In iAmerica. i . The lesson of the earthquake in Santa Barbara is that good, honest brickwork will withstand even a very severe tremor without damage. Early; reports from Santa Barbara were j .misleading, and naturally so, because it appeared that many brick buildings had been wreckedl H V. Perhaps no disaster -has been more thoroughly land carefully in vestigated by j experts than hafs that at Santa j Barbara, and from these investigations ! there comes unanimously this lesson. Good construction of practically every kind withstood. the shock. Inferior construction, j regardless of the materials used j ti. unsuited to earthquake zones. In th'e very heart of , the business section of Santa Barbara, where the greatest damage was , done, there stands today solid brick " wall . structures that are wholly undamaged. .

" FOR "CXDER- Negotiations have been com pleted for what ' is to be the world's largest office building on the entire block bounded by Lex ington Avenue" and Depew Place, Forty-third and Forty-fourth streets. New York. Seven com plete stories of the building will be entirely underground, thus establishing a new record for an "underground skyscraper." The underground building will stand in a gigantic cavern torn from the solid granite of Manhattan Is land in what will be one of the world s most notable engineering feats. ; . ' " The new structure will rise 30 stories above the street level and will cost 119,000,000. v It will be financed by S. W. Strauss & Co.; whffhave agreed to underwrite an issue of 110,000,000 first mort gage serial gold bonds secured by the building and a 63-year lease hold obtained from the New York Central Railway.

The bond Issue will .probably not be brought out be fore November one, - although worn on the building will begin immediately and.it will be com pleted March 1, 1927. - The structure will contain 21.- C00.000 cubic feet; and 1,350,000 square feet of rentable space. making it slightly larger than the Equitable Building in New York and the General Motors Buildine in Detroit. i Carrier Pigeons Employed to Carry News in Orient TOKYO While Uiere are 19 daily newspapers in; "Tokyo, , and hun dreds of others throughout the empire, the gathering of news in Japan is somewhat more difficult than it is in.- America and other countries. The reason is that the telephone and telegraph services are exceedingly! primitive and al most worthless for the rapid transmission of news. The tardy wife service, however Is overcome to some extent by the use of carrier pigeons. Every news agency and large newspaper has its owned specially trained birds which daily are sent by train to the various correspondents. The pigeons, when j released with - the thinnest of "copy" sheets attached to them, make rapid time back to the editorial rooms. mm I its last honors to William Jenninjpt Presbyterian rburvh, three "blocks front j Building Permits Issued for' Four New Dwellings Four building permits totaling $11,830 were issued last week for new dwellings, ah average of nearly $4000 each.

Hartman, chaplain of St. Anthony's orphanage, has found what he believes to be one of the most important art discoveries of America or Europe In recent years' a life-size talntlnr of Christ in a Catholic mission church at the In dian pueblo of Isleta, near here. Father Hratman has seen the most noted paintings of Christ all over the world, and he- considers the work in the mission .church the most perfect he has studied. The picture is partly in relief, and the color harmony is remarkable. He believe the painting to be of the Byzantine era, preceding any of the European schools. The name of the artist Is not known Father Hartman is of the opinion that the painting was brought to the Isleta mission by .early padros who accompanied Spanish con quistadores on their trips of con quest through New Mexico. The mission church is about 300 years old. ! v The picture has been temporar ily removed from the .churchy 'be cause 01 Its great value, until per manent arrangements for its .safe keeping can be made. - i ' :1 "Apparently what the needs are a few publicity ; Vorld gentle- men."

The small brick units, with their mortar joints be tween, tend to emphasize the lowness of the structure and add interest and color to the wall surface. This house was designed for a corner lot. or one having a frontage of 60 feet or more. On a corner lot a garage could be placed at the dining room end of the house, with a covered wall leading to it that would balance the porch on the other end of the house. The interior is planned to give the appearance of a large house, with the principal rooms on either side of the hall. The downstairs rooms are of ample size and in good proportion, with S ample windows to provide plenty of light and ventilation. - " The principal bedroom is an exceptionally cheerful room with windows on three sides and a fireplace. Note also the number of closets on the second floor. The kitchen is conveniently arranged and connects with the dining room by a pantry. The space at the left of the kitchen would make a cozy little breakfast nook.
