FOR BATHROOM
PACE TWELVE
A home with poise, that In many
of Its features will reflect definitely
the personality of Its owner and
which will Include a number of de
tails that are entirely new In the
known art of homebuildlng, Is now
under construction In Salem
HelRhts for Mr. and Mrs. 3. T.
Hushes.
Located on a broad natural ter
race on a point of ground to the
east of the intersection of the Pa
cific highway and Liberty road, the
homeslte Itself Is one or unusual
possibilities, with a large portion
of the eastern section of Salem
and the agricultural district on the
valley floor receding into the hills
to the east, spread before It in
panoramic splendor.
Prom the north front, a vista of
the north wall of the living room
of red brick and gray stone facing
of the fireplace flues rising to the
second story, set off oy coral Brown
wood walls of the view or sun room
of the cast and the same material
in the exterior walls of the dining
room to the west, give pleasing im
pression of a brick central struc
ture to which has been added well
balanced wings of wooden construc
tion. The remaining walls of the
lower exterior are of 10 Inch cedar
boards, while the panelled gables
of the second story will be finished
In cream terra cotta.
The roof Is of extra heavy cedar
shingles, hand-stained m tan and
brown especially for the Hughes
home, laid In staggered effect. The
steep pitch, together with the
quality of the materials, Mr.
Hughes believes, will give the roof
lifetime of 33 years at the least.
Eight master rooms are Included
In the building, four of them on
the first floor and four upstairs.
From a plaza which will be
floored probably In red tile, with
low walls either of gray stone or
red brick, one enters the hallway
which extends through the width
of the house, separating the living
room and sun porch or view room,
(the term depending upon the
pleasure of the occupant) from the
dining room, nook and kitchen. To
the immediate left Is the spacious
dining room which will Include an
alcove effect secured by bullt-ln
china cupboards along the north
wall on either side of the large
window group.
Toward the rear left, from the
hall, one enters the breakfast nook,
and on beyond, the kitchen, which
of course will contain the usual
built-in fealures of a home of this
type. In between the dining rcoin
entranoe and the nook entrance,
will be a semi-closet for conts, hata
and the like, and to the real- of
this, a lavatory.
To the right of the hall Is the
stairway leading to the upper
chambers, while to the Immediate
right Is the entrance to the living
room. This Is a spacious room,
with fireplace along the north wall,
a built-in mirror four by four
feet directly opposite in the south
wall, and an alcove effect to the
east of the fireplace.
Mr. Hughes has not decided how
the mantel will be finished, al
though It Is likely some tile design
may be used. A recess In the brick
work facing one side of the alcove
of the living room, with Its semi
arched effect, will give the room
an Informal studio atmosphere.
All floors are to be of hardwood,
either maple or oak.
To the east of this room Is the
sun room, with large windows on
three sides. A door on the south
opens onto another tiled terrace
which will probably be surrounded
by low brick walls.
On the second floor, the master's
chamber la directly above the liv
ing room. An alcove leads Into It
from the hall. A small, white tiled
fireplace will afford heat for the
room. In addition to the hot air
heating plant that Is to be In
stalled. In the bathroom, with bullt-ln
tub and shower, finished In tile.
Mr. Hughes Incorporates another
idea, entirely his own.
Tlie tub will be set out from the
Hall for enough so that a seat the
full ltngth and It or 17 Inches In
with will drain Into the tub and
at the same time will permit the
Battier to sit down beneath the
shower or to recline upon the
shelving In any desired position.
This recessed shower Idea- will
eliminate the overflow onto the
bathroom floor, which Is common

to many showers In private dwel
lings.
Three bedroom will occupy the
west end of the upstairs, the most
spacious being the son's room in
the northwest comer, which will
Include a large window seat flank
ed by boodle shelves and cases.
A lull, concrete basement lor
fuel storage, heating plant and
laundry, and concrete fruit room is
completed except for the floor. On
the first landing leading to tne
bas omen t, just off the hall, a built- I
in shoe shining stand will be con
structed for use of the occupants
or the home. It will fold up out or
siRht when not In use.
Mr. Hughes estimates the pri-1
mary cost of the house, which is
being built mostly by day labor, at
$10,000. Gradual develpoment of
the landscape will be undertaken,
rather than immediate completion
of this feature of the home.
A two car garage has been com
pleted at the rear of the kitchen
wing. It haa been given a "home
ly" rural touch by the addition of
tin outside stairway at the rear
lending to tlie attic or studio room
above.

While losses on the stock market
1 paper In Salem have consider-
able inquiry reveals that there are
chances of a healthy reaction in
another direction which may prove
materially beneficial to the city
and that is a tendency to get back
to real e&tate as an investment.
That such is the case has been In- -
dlcated by some few Inquiries re
ported directly along these lines -by
realtors in the past few days.
One leading realtor reported that
within the past few days a man who
has played around with the stock
market more or less came in and
evinced an Interest in real estate.
"I am through" this potential real
estate buyer is quoted as saying.
"1 have taken some fliers in the '
market and a good bumping along
with -them. Prom now on I am go
ing to get hooked up to some in
come property and let it bring back
a little of what I have dropped."
While there has been some act- -lvily
it is true that downtown real
estate has seen the fewest sparks of -activity
this fall and summer that
It has seen for a number of year
but those who have been watching
say that a revival Is bound to come
and they expect at no great distant
future.
