A home that i s planned with a view to conveni ence and the sav ing of steps is far more desirable than one which necessitates a solving of "the servant problem. Almost any man of average income could build thi3 home without seriously inconvenienc ing himself. And for a small family it is ideally arranged. The living room, is of good size, well lighted, with plenty, of .wall space for pictures and two built-in book cases. At the rear is a largo open porch. The stairway leads up from TO GUIDE .

Innovations are evident in all the various body types shown in this model. Even the Chrysler "70 roadster, which was the lead er of the revived popularity for the open car when it created a sensation on its original presen tation, has its novelties this year In the form of long grained leath er upholstery in striking color combinations to harmonize with body colors, the latter also setting a new style in that body color is used on the running board splash guard. Leather hinged seat backs, which move with the occu pants' bodies and add much to riding ease, offer still another novelty in the roadster. The smart broughan. with its trunk and two door roominess; the fleet new coupe and the two se dans the -graceful Royal and the Crown, "the Finest of the Line" -all the closed cars of the new, finer Chrysler "70" model this year present that swagger air of snappy alertness conferred by the new dilitarr Front and Cadet V sor which has attracted general admiration. Yet with the striking individ uality of the cars, the Chrysler "70" models of this yea,r unite in impressing upon the observer the realization that Chrysler engineers in the body lines of 1927 have achieved, the exact mean in size and balance, line and color distri bution, comfort and compactness, that are and efficiency could de mand.

FAVOR cow MCE IMUILRS "Packing Box" Type of Con struction Being Aban-, doned in America Abandonment of the barren, "packing box" type of architec ture in business buildings will do much to correct the European idea that America is a land without art. it was predicted by Robert Beck, president of the Longacre Engi neering & Construction Co. "Disfavor for building of un pleasant appearance, . has grown considerably in the past few months," said . Mr. Beck. "For some time past, a comparatively small 'intellectual group' has la mented the square, undecorated pafking-box' structures, and this protest movement has now spread to the actual owners and finan ciers of office and loft buildings." It has gained impetus, Mr. Beck pointed out, through the realiza tion that by the use of well cho sen colors and graceful forms in such materials as terra cotta, beauty can be gained, in complete harmony with the principles of good construction and sound busi ness. In the past there have nat urally been weighty reasons for the old square types, he conceded, high costs of space, labor and ma terials being factors, but the new er trend in general building meth ods makes better decoration prac tical. Mr. Beck's conclusion as to the effect of this change upon the for eign idea of America, is based up on observations made during and since a trip to Europe, earlier in the year. "The false theory that the U. S. cares nothing for art or beauty," he says, "has been encouraged by some unfortunate features of our building. "Consider the impression re ceived by the European traveler, first landing in New York. The akxiine itself may awe him at first; none can deny that on the whole it has magnificance. Soon however, the visitor begins to no tice certain details. He finds many square, stark structures, utterly without decoration. . "To be sure, it is unfair to make direct comparisons in this regard, between America and Europe. The. builder in the United States faces higher ground values, higher labor costs, and higher material prices. His total outlay is so great that he cannot afford to spend as much again on decorative effects as is .sometimes done in Europe. But with present day facilities for employing color and graceful ornamentatipn, no exor bitant outlay is necessary. "The effect of the old type of building upon the European visi tor here can be readily under stood. He has come from a, con tinent where beauty in architec ture is centuries old. Suppose be has seen the world famous palaces or cathedrals, of Europe, and the wonderful Delia Robbia terra cot ta groups in Italy. .He contaaste them with the huge bald struc tures here. . . "When the zoning laws took ef fect, the square, packing-box type unfortunately was of ten, replaced by other inartistic structures, .look ing like, toy blocks, pyramided on top of one another. "I do not mean to condemn simplicity,,. That and will con tinue to be the keynote of Ameri can architecture. But simplicity d oo not mean barrenness. "The, skillful use of ornamenta tion and color adds distinction and charm tq simplicity. "In the, construction and plan ning of new buildings, this fact is receiving more and more, atten tion... Owners and prompters and financing organizations are awake to the knowledge that attractive- "jat FUSE By 610 NORTH CAtorOL MORE MOD IEI OPERATORS URGED American Automobile Body Issues Statement From Headquarters WASHINGTON, D. C. Parall eling the introduction of new car models for 1927, the American Automobile association, in a state ness is an important factor in as suring permanent occupancy. "The uninviting building, the structure with the stark, colorless, walls, and the blank outline, is under an unnecessary , handicap. With modern methods ""of design and construction, it is a simple matter to employ color to relieve the monotony of a building. Some simple decorative scheme worked into, a structure with 'setbacks' easily relieves the harsh effect of a series of bare steps leading up to a water tank on the roof. "Business imen everywhere are beginning to look upon the buud ines they occupy in much the same critical manner that they consider their business stationery, or their clpthing. Individuality, dignity and a pleasant appearance are de sired. A "The exercise of good taste in construction will help and proba bly has already begun to correct the European view that America lacks appreciation for art. "When the European traveler finds a skyline of graceful build ings; when hie sees the drab walls along the streets relieved by cheerful color, he will form a higher opinion of Amercia's aes thetic sense.
