Help for the Man Who Wants to Build
Modern Kitchen
- Require Planning
For Electricity
- By tks Architect.' Small
; . Hoiue Service Bureau of the
:; United State, loo.
In the modern kitchen we have
an ever Increasing number of de
vice which need electricity. Toast
era, percolatore, beaten, grille, waf
fle Irons, cookere and heaters are
. a few of the everyday pieces of
equipment. Then there are tne
tat-sAr nleeas. devices such aa
ranges, refrigerators, ventilators
and mixers. Day by day are added
new. devices run by electric power
for making home work more en
joyable,, more Interesting. : These
' clearly demand that as home mak
ers we must siuuy our jcucnens
from mnnv standnolnts when we
ere planning them. We need to be
rar signtea ana pian not jusi. iur
the present but for the future also.
- - Mgbtlng Comes First
The first consideration la the
lighting. Proper lighting is a true
hand maiden to the housekeeper. It
Is much less expensive to have the
necessary outlets put In when the
original wiring Is done than after
wards. One light clOBe to the cell
ing with a globe of a type which
does not throw shadows Is often
all that l necessary for a small
kitchen. ' A 78 watt lamp at least
should be used In this place. A re
flector which fits close and does
not allow dust and gnats to ac
cumulate Inside Is most desirable.
In a small kitchen that Is longer
than It is wide, one central light
might bo sufficient. It is always
better to be safe than sorry, how
ever, and the extra expense of in
stalling lights at special vantage
points Is not great. If the range
. Is off In a corner, a light Is de
sirable here.' Pluce it, If possible,
so it will at least partially illumi
nate the oven. Either a bracket
light or a dropllght over the sink
Is of great value.,
Next to be considered are the
number of service outlets necessary
for equipment We must plan the
handiest places to Install them, and
for greater flexibility we should use
the modern duplex convenience out
lets which permit two attachments
at once. A duplex outlet will be
useful near the breakfast table for
the percolator, toaster, grill, waffle
iron, or whatever combination of
two devices, ons wishes to use at the
same time. Have It placed on the
wall, high enough so that one can
reach it easily, while seated at the
Uble.
Service Outlets Needed .
Kltchen-ald and electrla cookers
may be attached to lamp sockets.
but It Is better to provide the pro-J
per sore or ouueis, ana it is jar
more convenient to use them. A
duplex outlet may be placed on the
wall Just above the end of the right
hand dralnboard for this equipment,
and another may be installed with
the lamp for illumlnatnlg the oven.
' A ventilator IS m boon ' In ','- any
kitchen, winter or summer. It not
only keeps odors from, tho living
part of the house, but drives out
fumes and gases carrying particles
of grease and smoke, which would
ordinarily accumulate on the walls,
to say nothing of the added comfort
' that comes from increased circula
tion of air. Ah outlet , should be
provided for' this, 'and placed In
accordance with the recommenda
tions of the manufacturer.
The electrla refrigerator, though
It may not be In the kitchen proper,
Is very close ally and should be
considered. It. requires wiring do
signed to carry the load, and like
the electrlo range should be In
stalled as directed by the manu
facturer. Copyright 1928. The

you will not be able to find a
mucn oetter plan than this
one or a more beautiful
handling of the exterior.
This plan, No. 6-A-M, naa
been tested and found satis
factory by thousands of home
builders satisfactory because of Ita
convenience and the straightfor
ward simplicity of Its planning and
because of the beautiful effects that
are obtained both inside and out
side the house.
The many things about the plana
which the home owner will not
miss are the vestibule, coat closet,
fireplace, the open or enolosed
porch, the dining alcove and broom
closet in the kitchen, and the grade
entrance to rear and basement. .
It will not take much Imagina
tion to visualise the fine spacious
ness of living room, hall and din
ing room thrown together by large
cased openings, though, if desired,
the dining room may be shut oft
by French doors.
The bedrooms In the seoond
story have been sltllfully arranged
so as to give them about equal
Importance.- They have lonsr wall
spaces for twin beds, capacious clos
ets and, of course, cross ventilation
as Doa rooms snould nave. An at
tlo stairway may be arranged over
the main stairs, giving; access to
lurge storage space.
The exterior with its beautifully
vaulted stoop at the entrance and
Its gracefully arched porch gives a
louon or uisunction without extravagance.

What You May -

About Building
Questions addressed to this pa
per twill be answered by thexArchi
tectaf Small House Service Bureau
of the United State, Inc. Enclose
a stamped addressed envelope.
Q I am contemplating
building a home this fall. I am '
undecided as to which would '.t
be better, hollow' tile or cinder
block. Which has the best
Insulating quality? Which
holds stucco the best?
A. Both hollow tile and cinder
block make good walls. Stucco
will adhere well to either of them.
It appears that their Insulating
value depends not so much upon
whether the block Is of cinders or
clay as to whether or hot the mor
tar joint Ib broken. Use either
of these materials with confidence,
whichever costs the least. But, If
provision for breaking the horizon
tal joint' Is not made, paint Inner
surfaces with asphaltio paint, cover
with tar paper, then furr and lath
as.. usual. . . .... .
Q In a recent question and '.
answer In this column you said .'
when 'someone- - asked about
wall board, that it should be
stripped. Is this true also of '
gypsum wall boaru? .
A. No. Manufacturers of gyp
sum wall board have designed a ce
mented joint reinforced with fab
ric which is adequate, needs no
stripping.
. '. What can be done to .
keep water out of cellar? "' In
July and August It Is; dry. but "
when the rains come it fills up
to about four feet. , .
A. Only an Inspection will
bring out the facts. It will proba
bly be necessary to Install drains
Inside and possibly also - outside
The basement floor and walls will
have to be waterproofed. Take
your question to a contractor who
is accustomed to building bouses
in your neighborhood. Build In
accordance with the method used
for adjoining houses where base
ments are dry. :.!.
Q The walls of our house
have been papered a number
of lmes, but the paper re
peatedly falls off in some
places. Tell me the way to
treat walls before papering so
as to eliminate this trouble.
A. Probably there are too many
courses of paper on the wall and
should now be scraped off. A
high grade paper hanger' will tell
you just what procedure to fol
low. It may be advantageous to
canvas the wall. . .
Q. My basement floor ' Is
wet. It does not come through
the floor for It has rained two
days now and the floor is per- '
fectly dry. - On nice days it
- is often wet. It has not been
in-very long. Can this be the
trouble? . , ,.
A. The new construction would
not be the "reuse. - It in nrnhnhi
that your, floor is cold and attracts
moisture. , r- Close the basement
windows on hot,, muggy days and
see what happens. If the floor
continues damp, you will have to
find the leak and block it off. -. .. -. .
CJ. Please give - suggestions .
for formal .entrances on a large, -
square, -whlto house with green .
blinds; 1 ' ,; '
A.- Adding an entrance to an 'old
house can .only be done with hope
of success if the conditions are
known .the' design of the house,
the desires of tho people who live
In It. Tour fine old house may
be ruined by a new entrance unless
it is carefully worked out. un
the other hand an ugly house may
be Improved by a good entrance.
We suggest you have -an architect
make drawings for you after he has)
seen the house.
