THE man who builds a borne In
these times of high cost of
everything, particularly rents,
wants to know that be Is getting
the last possible penny of value for
bis money. The bouse here shown
gives biaa that value, with extras.
Not counting projections and
porches, the bouse I square In
plan, 30 feet each way; and a
square building Is the cheapest of
all to construct and to beat The
broad porch runs almost across tbe
front of the dwelling. A little to
one side of the center Is a door
way leading Into a hall. 12 feet by
13 feet. inches. At the back of
thl hall are the stair leading to
tbe upper floor, and immediately
behind them, the step to the base
ment A short passage before these
sta'rs connects ball and kitchen.
At the right of the haU I the
living room, 17 feet by 16, with a
fireplace In tbe middle ot tbe aide
wall. Tbls room is lighted by two
big plate glass windows opening on
the porch and two smaller ones at
the sides of tbe fireplace. Back of
the llviflg room is tbe dining room,
12 teet by 14 feet. ( inches. At
the right, aa you enter from the
living room, Is a splendid window
group which floods tbe room with
light; directly in front of you Is an
other window looking on garden.
The kitchen, reached through a
butler' pantry. Is 12 feet by 10
feet. ( Inches. Besides the pantry,
there is a large store closet, and
plenty of space for tb usual
kitchen furniture. At the back Is
service entry way, containing the
ice box.
Upstairs are four good sized bed
rooms, enough to accommodate
Urge family. Every bedroom has
windows on two sides, and is sup
plied with a closet There are also
two hall closets and large bath
room; and over ail Is an attie
which gives additional storage
space.
So fine a bouse should be built
to last, and this baa been done.
The walls are of hollow tile,
covered with stucco, tbe gypsum
plaster of the interior is laid on
metal lath, and the roof Is of as
phalt shingles.
This bouse Is a good Investment
at any time, and especially good In
these days of cl'mbing rents. The
first cost is practically the same as
tbat of a frame bouse, but " there
the two types ot construction part
company. Tbe hollow tile house
depreciates very slowly. Is cheap to
maintaij. cheap to heat, impossible
to destroy by Are.
If your contractor Is not familiar
with this type of construction,
write to the Permanent Building
Bureau, in the Chamber of Com
merce, Chicago, and get informa
tion and help.

It Is refreshing In these days of high

Its accompaniments at a low figure.
The place Is China Tenpsohow, In the
province of Shantung. There. In the
mission school, a girl may have three
inenls a day for $18 a year.
The menu sounds strange to the
school girl of the western world, but
to the Chinese student It Is highly sat

raw turnips that have been kept In

pose the regulation breakfast almost

Washington. The sixty sixth con
gress convened at noon Monday for
Its third and final session. The out
standing events were the attendance
Monday at the senate session of President-elect'
Harding and the presenta
tion on Tuesday of President Wilson'
annual message.
The final session ot the present con
gress opened with only three months
. of alloted official life, ending Just be- .
tore the Inauguration of President
Harding, on March 4 and with an
extra session soon afterward In pros
pect. Appropriation bills will consti
tute the principal business at this
session.
President-elect Harding waa ur
rounded immediately by a crowd ot
senators wben he entered, who shook
his hand and clapped him on the back.
Tho president-elect welcomed his ad
mirers with a broad smile.
Another peace time estimate of
nearly - $5,000,000,000 tor the govern
ment's expenses during the fiscal year
1922 faced congress when it reas
sembled. The exact figures as trans
mitted by Secretary Houston were $4,
653,856,759, an Increase ot nearly $1,
000,000,000 over the appropriations for
the current year, but $211,000,000 less
than the estimates submitted a year
ago.
A tentative program ot legislation
In addition to the appropriation bills Is
expected to be determined this week
by republican leaders In conferences .
among themselves and with President
elect Harding.
Republican leaders predict that con-
gress will be forced to work steadily
to complete the appropriation bills by
March 4. In addition, there may be
other legislation for relief ot farmers
and probably a few other emergency
bills. Committees, however were pre
pared to work generally on matters
to be considered at the extra session.
