I The variety of type and construction In the houses pictured and
described in the beautiful new Statesmaa-C. S. Hamilton home plan
book, now available to prospective home builders. Is one of the mart
appealing features of the publication. Not only, does the book present
some of the most up-to-date deshjns of leading western architects, but
Its plans cover the range of building wishes from frame to stucco.
Frame, of course; has long been a preferred building material in Ore
gon, but in the last few years stucco has been proved to be of extra
ordinary beauty and durability,, while brick has been standard for
'many years' in the construction, of comfortable,' attractive homes. The
Statesman -C. H. Hamilton plan book shows a number of highly at
tractive brick homes, designed so tJtU one or more will appeal to
every building budget. Herewith it pictures one of the substantial
brick residence types. One of its most attractive features is its large
porch. The exterior walls are laid up in buff brick veneer and a beau-
tirui, soit erreci nas oeen securea. ui course, tne construction mater
ial might readily be changed to meet the particular desires of indi
vidua! builders. Further information about this plan or others pictured
in the new plan book may be. had at the Statesman office or at the
Hamilton store. .ww -

hoping to discover old chests of
drawers and four poster beds.
An acquaintance of mine not
long ago inherited a perfect old
mahogany four poster with a test
er top, and determined at once to
give it the right setting. She lived
fortunately, in a somewhat old-
fashioned, high celllnged house, in
which the bedrooms were large
enough to accommodate the hand

The walls were painted a soft
Cream tone, hooked rugs were
used on the floor, and some com
plementary pieces of furniture
were found. a Sleepy Hollow
rocker, a high chest of drawers
and an old spinet turned into a
dressing table. . ' .
A great deal-of thought and
?are was eiren to the most Import
ant choice of all the decorative
fabrics. After hesitating between
1 piquant old-fashioned chinti and
nn early American print in tones
of mauve and amaranth on ivory,
the latter was finally decided up
on. The design shows early Col.

on handsome steeds . . v or prom

but this sum was cut down to
$300,000. Senator McNary then
introduced an emergency meas
ure calling for an expenditure ot

ment to meet needs In federal

passage of this measure means the
additional money for Salem", Far
