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

paJaMnt gna ts Terr popular for
applying paints aad stains to peb
ble dash and other rough types of
stucco. 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.

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.

under consideration for several
months, the members of the mill
work association will become a
special group within the new

lumber association, to bring se
curity and proit to the Northwest
lumber industry hy co-ordination
of the various manufacturing and
marketing organizations.
The millwork group will be rep
resented on the board of trustees
of the West Coast Lumbermen's
Association by a trustee, who will
also be chairman of the millwork
committee. The committee will
be composed of a member from
each of the association districts.
The services of the various de
partments of the association, in
cluding trade extension, traffic,
grading and inspection, statistics,
and information will be available
to the members of the millwork
group, which is composed of
plants throughout Washington
and Oregon. They will be aided
by the association in working out
special problems of their industry.
The consensus of opinion among
the millwork manufacturers was
that the activities carried on bj

pendent organisation win be de
veloped to greater advantage by
the body in its new entity as a
group in the enlarged association,
