Floor plans that accompany tho
exterior view of the home, show how
the rooms are arranged, and their
sizes. Aside from the rooms men­
tioned, there Is a good-sized living
room and an extra large dining room.
Thus the large family U provided with
plenty of room.
One exceptionally good feature of
this home Is the artistic and attractive
manner in which the plantings of
shruhs and flowers have been made.

Common Brick Defies
Draw Shades Half Way
Exposure to Elements
to Keep Tone of Room
There are probably few If any of
the ancient buildings that so effec­
tively stir the Imagination of the mod­
ern reader as does the fatuous old
Colosaeum of Home. It ha* stood for
centuries as a monument to the qual­
ity of building and of the materials
that were u*ed In ancient days. Trav­
elers returning from Borne have re­
ported that bricks were being taken
from this great theater of tho rulers
of the ancient Roman empire to be
used In the construction of new home«.
It Is pleasing to lesm that the dic­
tator, Mussolini, has passed a decree
forbidding the Italian people to dis­
turb any part of thk Colosseum. The
bricks In that building are more than
2,000 years old, and are In such good
condition that they can still he used
after all these centuries. There was
a grave danger that the structure In
which early Christian martyrs were
sacrificed to the lions and where the
•Id gladiatorial combats were held
would be destroyed. Whatever we
may think of Mussolini's policies, we
must certainly commend him lu the
stand which he has taken.
The use of these 2,000 year-old
bricks is of particular Interest at this
time, when an much street la being
placed on permanent const ruction.
They were manufactured of the same
materials and under practically the
same methods that are used In the
manufacture of present day common-
burned day brick«. It la possible that
2.U0U years hence some equally ruth­
less despoilera srtU be tearing down
eur old landuvarka to build bousee out
ef the present day bricks.

Too much daylight Is us trying on
the eyes as the glare of artificial
lights.
Not only for beauty nnd restfulnesa
In a room but for acluul and practi­
cal use day light should be localized.
Rather It should he controlled nnd
directed by shades to secure the most
light where light Is needed and to ex­
clude the glare and shine of light com­
ing from above the eyes.
Most people crave barren glaring
windows, then wonder why, after nn
hour of reading in a room flooded with
white light, their eyes are heavy and
their nerves Irritated.
One of the bitterest mistakes of
modern builders Is the use of a strong
Inverted tight against the ceiling
which attracts ihe eye upward. The
gaze Is “pulled” up when naturally
It should rest upon and he attracted

This pulling results unconsciously

The half-drawn shade Is physically as
well as artistically to be desired.
KRmlnatlng the glare and producing
a soft mellow light Is one of the great­
est merits of a tinted cambric shade.
