They leave he impression that todny's houses are not well built, tlint our modern reethods could very well give place to the slower and more costly method- of the past. It is undoubtedly true that there shoddy construction today, and tbit some builders turn out an infer ior product in a nice packnge. There re poorly built automobiles, poorly wide hose and poorly wovrn enr fti.

Wide choice of color effect is of fered in tho various shades of stucco available to the builder. The brick trim on the concrete porch also af fords an opportunity for effective treatment. The roof should be stained in harmony with the balance of the composition. The arrangement of Ibe rooms has all the convenience of a much larger house. The living room is amply spacious and has plenty of wall spnee fur furniture placement. The fire place, if properly constructed, will bo a great aid in heating a house of this size. Modern kitchen equipment makes the dining nook a feasible and appro priate feature of borne design. Jf desired, the nook saown in this plan may be separated by a low partition from the balance of the kitchen. Both bedrooms are of ample size and each is favored with cross ven tilntion. Closet space will serve all ordinary needs. The central ball ties all rooms nicely and allows 'space for telephone installation. This cottage , will fit nicely upon a 0xl00-foot site and will prove an asset to any neighborhood. Floor nrea is 840 square feet. "Good merchandise, well shown, is half sold." Upon this modern proverb Mar shall Field has built, the largest de partment store organization in the world. And by the same virtue, deal era who are alert to effective mer chandising processes are discovering the truth that is hidden jn btese few words. As - a consequence, these dealers are enjoying considerably more prosperity than their brethren to whom "what was good for grand father is good enough for inc." lleywood-Wakefield, one of Amer ica's foremost manufacturers of fur nitu:e and baby 'carriages, is a firm believer in the value of window ad vertising. "Next to newspaper ad vertising, window advertising is the bent merchandising medium is the axiom of Iiaymond Heed, the adver tising manager. Therefore, Hoy-wood-Wakefield is conducting a nation-wide window ' display contest from April 1 to May 1 for its host of dealers throughout the United States, The solo purpose underlying the contest is to stimulate dealer in terest in one of the most valuable forms of merchandising advertising at the point of sale. , Heywood-Wakefield offers $1000 ! in prizes for the most attractive dis- j plays of its merchandise during the ; period of the contest.. The first j prize is $150; second prize, 5100; two third prizes. $73 each; four fourth prizes, $30 each, and many smaller awards will be made. The rules of the contest are sim ple. Judging will be done from pho tographs of the window displays sub. milted by the dealers. The judge1 will be well-known merchandising j and advertising authorities.

Defective chimneys, flues and fireplaces rank next to carelessness in the use of matches and in sniokiuj in point of fire loss. They are also the mnin structural cause of dwell ing house fire losses. Such losses in th United States amount to from $l.VOOO.HK to $20,000,000 a yr. Very few dwelling house chimney are so erected and insulated or fire stopped as to he without fire has nrd; yet nn additional cost of about $15 a chimney should effectually abolish all risk of chimney-originating firejj. The architects and engineers of the National Lumber Manufacturers' association, after a careful study ex tending over a number of years, have formulated definite specifications in regard to the construction and insul ation of chimneys. Plan Explained All chimneys should be built from tho ground up ami should be placed on foundations carrying all their weighr and t least 1U inches widr all around thin the chimnev aud well below the frost line. All wood members of building should be sep arated from the chimney and not allowed to come In contact with any part of it. Not only that but ample spar should be provided to permit of insertion nf fire-stopping mater ials to prevent, radiated host from affrt?ting woodwork, and also to pro tect the strurlure against, possible settlement nf the chimney. It is reromm-vidd that no wooden beams, join, or rifterfl, hould lie placed within 2 inches of the outside face of any chimney, and that the space between the chimney, wooden joists, or beams should be filled with loose cinders, loose mortar refuse, gypsum block, or other porous incombustible material formng a firestop, whlih should be supported by. strips of sheet metal or metal lath. No wooden studding, furring, or lathing should be placed ngainat any chimney. In ordinary masonry wall construction it is usual to imbed nailing strips of wood in the joints between courses of brick work to which furring atrips, or trim, are nailed. This practice should be abol ished. Flustering should be directly on the masonry or tn incombustible: lathing and furring material. Furring strips nround chimneys when used to support base or other trim should be Insulated from the masonry by the use of asbestos paper, or equivalent material at least ft inch thick.

' 153 E. 10th Street Attention the floor Jolats. Such construction develops a very serious fire hasard as the shrinkage of the lumber members probably will not be the same as the settling of the masonry chimney, mid It is almcat certain that the chimney joints will open up and furnish opportunity for the pas sage of flame and sparks In the spaces between the joints. Chimneys should never rest upon or be carried by lumber-built floors, beams or brackets, or ba hung from anv lumber-built construction what ever: neither should they bo support ed on iron brackets or 'stirrup at tached to lumber-built coustructiox up matter how carefully devised. REAL ESTATE SALE After passing through a season which, compared with the phenome nal activity of has been some what dull, tho real estate market is entering with renewed vigor into the season of 1!L'5. according to the re ports received from two hundred and fifty-nine cities by the National As sociation of Heal Estate Hoards in its fifth semi-annual survey of the real estate market.
