Ship ping figures also bear definite wit- nous of the tremendous volume of lumber moving out of the North west via the water route. By Jane Stewart Buying or building a house, for most people, is not an everyday occurrence. Usually it is the out come of years of planning and sav ing. Sometimes it is the result of a sudden decision or impulse But at all times it is considered a serious venture something from which they should get their money's worth. It is important that a house should be practical as well as beautiful. Where stucco has been selected for the surface, it must not be ta ken for granted that this finish is sufficient unto itself. Like a great many other building materials it service is increased through the application of paint, which pre vents the penetration of moisture at the same time preserving the texture of the original surface. Houses which are surfaced with stucco are more or less porous and may present water absorptive sur faces. During the rainy season a great deal of water might be ab sorbed, resulting in a spotted sur face. Or, if the moisture absorbed has a chance to freeze, the expand ing of the ice gradually spreads the sire of each little pore or crack, these cracks becoming larg er year by year. Too, moisture entering the surface sometimes af fects the underlying structure and makes the house damp. The application of oil paint to a stucco surface can eliminate all such possibilities, while producing a smooth film which will not be a catch-all for dirt. Ordinarily, cin ders and soot adhere to a rough surface, and once lodged In a stuc co house cannot be removed. A painted surface, however, is nnaf tMst IB M sttfrJeatt.

It saves a great deal of labor cost and gets .the Job done in less time, coating from three to five times as much surface per dav as can be done by one man using a brush. And where three coats would be required for bru?w work, two are sometimes suffic ient when sprayod on. The 6pra finish is smooth and durable and slightly thicker than that of hand work. In painting a house, careful consideration should be given to the selection of colors. With a little advance thought and care it is Just as easy to select attract!- f colors as unattractive ones, and stucco houses offer unlimited pos sibilities for fresh and original schemes. It must be kept in mind, though, that the ones selected should suit the type of architect ure ctf the building, and altogeth er, be in harmony with surround ings. For example, a dwelling. It alian in design, might be very at tractive and suggestive of a Med iterranean villa, painted a soft pink, with the rool stained -a me dium golden brown. A more con servative house would be lovelyi painted light gray, using darker gray off the trim, and a tile-red root, ii a nouse oeiongs to no particular period, the appropriate combinations are endless cream and dark tan; stone gray and green; ivory and medium blue. All things considered, paint does a great deal for a stucco house Plain stucco quickly be comes drab looking, while running the risk of deterioration in qualit? from exposure. On the other I hand, if it is painted, its looks are not only improved, but its service qualities are increased beyond comparison. Five Plann Narrow I PLAN No. 534 CBAHML iJ4J CMJKt. I ' jovzt p.

No residence lot should be of smaller dimensions, especially in O 1 1 I J oaiein, wnere grounu is cheap and climatic con ditions are favorable to growth of lawns and shrubbery. The honse is well planned to afford comfort to the average family. The porch across the front is attractive, and may be used to excellent advant- fLGOF- TUB age during the summer months. If the house faces the west the porch will serve to shelter the living room from afternoon sun. The front entrance is convenient to the stairway and is well located relative to the privacy of the living room. The fireplace is of course indispensable and the tiling should be selected with studied care, considering the abundance of light from the front windows. The two downstairs bedrooms are large, and provided with plenty of window space. Tendency to use the front bedroom as a hallway may prove awkward, and if the size of the family permits it would be a decided advantage to utilize this space as a sewing room or children's playroom. Two chambers may be finished upstairs. The dining room is large and cheery, and the kitchen, with its adjoining breakfast nook, is well equipped. The plan fcr the enclosed back porch may be altered to af ford space for a refrigerator and a small cupboard. Floor area totals 1144 square feet. Spaulding Logging Co.
