It was known that the building
totals for the ten months were in
the battery of windows beside
the kitchen, , with an in
closed pantry to the left
as you enter. The ar-

both ideal with both rear
and basement entries so
placed as to be entirely
out of the field of culinary '
activities. The rear
porch is not inclosed but
might easily be so built.
On the second floor are
, three bedrooms, all amply
large and one especially '
.. roomy. The bath1 is at
the left of the stairway

Better v building: of small homes
and the elimination of the "jerry
builder" will be supported nation
ally during 1927 by the expendi
ture of approximately f Its. million
dollars, in educational newspaper
and magazine advertising. L. Por
ter Moore, of New York, presi
dent of the Home .Owners" Ser
vice Institute, informed members
of the American Construction
Council here today at the closing
session of its fifth annual conven
tion, with Vice-president D. Knick-
erbacker Boyd. A. I. A., of Phila
delphia, presiding in the absence
of its president, the Hon. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt. .
"This will be an increase of
about one million dollars for ad
vertising 'over . the expenditures
for. the current year in this field',
Mr. Moore declared, "and the in
creased expenditures will be made
largely in newspaper advertising'.
"Figures already compiled indi
cate that 1926 will be the biggest
year in the history of the con
struction industry. While it is an
ticipated that there will be a de
cline in large building projects
during the coming year, the de
mands for medium and moderate
cost small homes and their conse
quent construction at peak will
continue," he predicted. "But the
small homes must be better built.
and educational advertising must
be used to that end.
That the building materials and
construction industries are awake
to this need for- educational ad
vertising to produce better homes
was indicated by the report of the
Home Owners' Service Institute
that 34 leading associations and
manufacturers have, for the first
time cooperatively, this year com
bined for this purpose with the
building of model demonstration
homes throughout the United
States, supported by newspaper
and magazine advertising, and the
local aid of the National associa
tion of real estate boards, the
American Gas association and the
National Electric Light associa
tion. .' The associations in the building
materials field include the Copper
and .Brass Research association.
Common Brick Manufacturers' as
sociation and Wallpaper Manufac
turers association supporting the
campaign.
In 1927 this cooperating group
Js planning to spend 8225.000 for
Lbetter homes : advertising, Mr
Moore stated, 8150,000 in news
paper advertising and 875,000 in
magazine advertising, largely in
trade papers. "The trend is -decidedly
toward newspaper adver
tising," he said. "With our news
papers today taking the leader
ship in. advocating better homes
and educating the everyday read
er on the subject of better build
ing and home ownership for bet
ter citizenship, sponsoring model
homes and 'Own Your Home' 'and
building materials expositions, the
manufacturer is finding that new
paper advertising pays. Our coop
erative ' organization will spend
twice as much in newspapers next
year than in magazines."
: A report of the Better Building
Committee of the American Con
struction Council, through v its
chairman,' Rudolph P. Miller, and
president of the National Fire
Protection association, of New
York City,' pointed out that "many
houses recently built are so care
lessly constructed that within ten
yearstlme, sometimes less., they
will be practically valueless." The
American Construction Council
advocates correcting this by- na
tional advertising and educational
publicity.

A modern, up-to-the-minute J.
C. Penney store is the way manag
er R. H. Smith describes what the
Penney store on North Liberty
street will be like when its pro
jected 820,000 extension and re
modeling is complete. Work on the
store Improvement was begun last
week with. the removal of a "large
tree in the rear of the store where
the 60-foot extension Is to be
made. ' .- -v;r .: '.. v -
'Besides the extension, the J.'C.
Penney company is planning to re
model the whole exterior- and
equip the store' with new and
modern fixtures. An ol burning
heating system will be installed
in place of the present wood burn
ing outfit.
In the extension will be a bal
cony which will accomodate the
ladies ready-to-wear and millinery
department. The interior, said
Mr. Smith, when complete will be
a typical J. C. Penney store, mod
eled after the type used through
out the J. C. Penney chain, which
comprises 745 stores located in
practically every state of the
union.
J. M. Dolan of the New York
office is here to supervise the
work, and all the construction will
be done by the construction and
real estate department of the com
pany. In regard to the inconvenience
to be caused the stage company,
which parks its busses in the rear
of the Penney store, by the ex
tension Mr. Smith stated that the
stage people had been allowed to
turn their busses and park them
in the store's backyard without
rental. He stated as his opinion
that the alley behind the store,
now used by the coming and going
of the stages, is too congested and
should be made a one-way alley
by an order of the city council.

BUILDING COSTS
LOW IN OCTOBER
Average Wage in Construc
tion Trades Also Less,
Statistics Show
WASHINGTON (Special
Construction costs decreased
slightly during October giving
emphasis to a gradual downward
tendency they have been observ
ing during the past three years.
The decrease last month was due
to a slight lowering of the average
Of : wages in the building trades
and to a decline in the average
prices paid by contractors for
building materials, according to
statistics compiled by the Associ
ated General Contractors of 'Amer
ica. . x .
Since May, 1923. construction
costs have been moving slowly but
consistently toward lower levels.
Mainly this. has been the result of
a very apparent drop in the prices
of the principal building, mater
ials. The effect of these reduced
prices upon the ultimate costs of
construction has been somewhat
offset by the tendency of wages
to hold to levels high above those
occupied at the beginning of 1923.
A study of the changes in the
average of wages since May, 1923,
shows 10 increases and 4 decreas
eswith a net increase of 12 points
from 213 to the present figure of
225 on a scale which has the 1913
average as its basis for 100. "A
