Help For the Man Who Wants to Build
Beauty, Durability
V; Found in Stained
Wooden Shingles
By the Architects' Small
House Service Bureau ot the
United HUhUm, inc.
Shingles Can be one of the most
attractive of building finishes when
properly cttUned in picturesque
oloru. In fact, more variety In ex
terior color effects can be man
aged through tule type of lumber
- than any other, due to the harmony
tf shingles and stain. The stain
sinks into the wood, coloring the
npiB so may re em Die lied veivci.
Properly protected with stain or
paint the well made wooden shingle
is an excellent material for roof
' and aiding, while the addition of
either of these preservatives gives
.a more thau effective appearance.
Since shingles, because of their po
sition on tt dwelling, are exposed
to the destructive forces of wind
an rain, some method of preserva
tion must be employed. Even the
most, durable varieties of -wood,
such as cypress, cedar, the red
woods, etc., are rendered far' au-
'perlor when piotected in this way.
.. Preserve Hidden Farts
In order to be ekven the larsrest
, degree of protection available, shin
gles oeiore Deing applied to a nouse,
. ( should be pie -dipped In a shingle
stain, which penetrates the wood.
Preservation is the chief reason for
this treatment, however. The nat
ural grain of' the wood fa thereby
' emphasized, and a rich quality of
Color ia obtained, exceptional beauty
It afforded the house. i
Prestalned ohlnglea are not apt
(io vcup nor win ineir original posi
.'.tlon become easily disturbed. On
-the' other hand, where the stain is
hot applied until after the shingles
. - nave oeen piacea, tne greatest mea
sure of protection is not obtained
for the hidden .and underparts.
- Stain or paint, the natural pre
servatives of wood, can be depend
ed upon to seal the pores in the
shingles and thereby prevent the
progress- 01 weainering. -ine re
bidt In wearing capacity and gen
eral appearance is greatly en-
' Itancea. The correct application of
' the stain, of course, la essential to
the most effective results, and the
best method of handling is tto dip
' one cout and brudh one coat. The
dipping insures penetration and
even distribution of color, as pre
viously explained, and covers both
sides of the shingles and under
neath the lap for a distance.- The
factory dipped product is recom
mended. ;
. i Reduce Fire Hazard
Many different types of stains
and paints to. be applied to shin
gles are avauaDie to me nome own
" -er. Stains, for Instance, which con-
: tain, creosote are highly valued for
their decay preventing' qualities.
Special fire-resistant paints have
been developed to resist heat and
tc prevent Bh In tries from"cuppIner
or. -developing "fuzziness.". When
- shingles curl at the corners or take
' on a coat of moss, they afford a
. lodging place for burning embers
-1 or sparks flying about. Coated with
' a fire resistant paint, however, the
. fire hazard is very much reduced.

In a variety of different colors. It

an economy house.
The designers have pro
vided five rooms, each of
adequate size, but no more,
and have arranged them
so that the house caa be
built inexpensively. A
The rectangular plan u r
one of the important ways '
that has been used to cut
costs. Something has been .
saved by enclosing the stairway sa
as to minimize millwork. Then the
fireplace, put on an inside wall, ef
fects an additional saving.
uore particularly, economy arises
through good use of the space. The
amount of area needed for hallway
amounts in total to an unusually
small proportion of the plan. Fur
ther economies can be materialized
through omission of the porch.
Yet here is an excellent house of
fine architectural feeling, with &
plan of real convenience. Every
room In the house has cross venttla- :
tion. . There are even windows In '
two of the closets.
The drawings, particularly as to
the plans, do not show how care
fully the details of various kinds
have been worked out. Take the
kitchen, for example. The sink has
been nlaced near the door of th
dining room so that dishes will not Showing a view of the living room with the fireplace on the insldv wait.
have to be carried across the
kitchen. At the side of the sink is
a china and food cabinet A num
ber of shelves extend above fine
working space. Below this are
drawers and bins for food. Beyond
Is dining space. , . - . .
This Is In the form' of a shallow
alcove. That Is, the kitchen table
can be drawn up against a built-in
seat, like a window seat, and chairs
arranged along the other side. If
desired, this alcove can be extended
to the rear sufficiently to include
the standard alcove furniture.
- Near the rear entrance, but still
within the kitchen, is the refrigera
tor, for which outside Icing is pro
vided. There is a closet arranged,
to go over the refrigerator, and the
refrigerator itself ia set on a plat
form to lift it above the level of the
floqrj '' In the rear hallway is ia con

Q -Aftr heavy rains walla
are wet. Sometimes the damp
riesa is ar a window, but not
utwuyt. It is usually damp
ubout the fireplace and above
It In the second story. Is it be
cause the stucco Is too thin?
It is on cinder blocks.
AThtn stucco Is not likely to be
the cause,, nor is It the fault of the
cinder blocks. Jt may be that the
mortar Joint was not interrupted aa
It rhould hftve been. More likely,
water is getting in around the win
dow frames between the wood and
the nii-aoiii-y. They should be prop
erly calke 1. Get in touch with some
calking concern In yuur locality.
Then Install a product particularly
devised to do this work. Have your'
chimney Inspected. The flashings
may not be tight. Probably the
coplug at the top is not waterproof.
Q The man who set the fur
' nu.ee did not put asbestos paper
. ou the pipes. He says that It is
not necessary, but it seems to
me that It cheapens the job.
A Your furnace man js right.
More heat is lost across common
asbestos paper than across bright
tin. If you cover your piped with
cellular asbestos that would be a
different thing,
Q We had a fire. The con
tract for repairs called for
everything to be "as good as or
' better than formerly." They re- -laid
a good deal of the old
floors that had been water
soaked. . Now there are cracks
between the boards. They
squeak and some patching was
necessary. Is this living up to
the contract?
A We do not know what the con
Oltions of your floors wore formerly,
but floors laid as you describe are !
not good floors. Have them In- I
npccled by an architect or by a
competent builder. Employ an at
torney If necessary to conserve your
imprests.
. Q In a basement wall that
was plastered the plaster falls
off and we find the wall to be
very damp. Can you advise
what to use in replastering?
A We recommend that the scarce
of dampness be searched ouV and
eliminated, that the wall be painted
with hot tar or asphalt or other
standard waterproofing compound,
that wood furring bo applied, then
lath and plaster. Thla will give you
a warm, dry wall. . , , .
. " Q Wo are planning a house
of Ule and would like to know
whether It can be plastered dl
lectly on both sides. . -:
A It can be If the mortar Joint
Is broken. If this Is not done, water
will be carried along the mortar
bed. This Is true , of all walls of
masonry. For regions of severe
winters It Is undoubtedly Kworth
while to furr exterior walla of ma
sonry. -'-. : ,
Q Is" It ' practical to paint V
- a basement concrete floor? If
so,: what is the formula for the
material to be used?
A It la quite practical to paint
such, floors. For this purpose we
recommend - pafnta particularly
made for this purpose. Do not
try to mix them yourself. Apply
them according to the directions
of the manufacturer We send

CARTER'S LSI PILLS
(By Mary Crolncr.)
"Wonder Water" a mineral con
coction that Is wiid to be ablo to
euro everything frojn bunions to
insomnia, has been discovered up
Elk creek, according to H. H. Cady,
.who brought a container ot it Into
the Chamber ot Commerce head
quarters yesterday.
Wonder water -so called because
after one drink of it one wonders
why he did it. It's terrible what
that water does to .tho aesthetic
appreciation. But then there are
diseases that It Is alleged to cure.
According to Mr. Cady, one week
liquid
will not only cure callouses, corns,
bunions, Ingrowing toenails " and
other ailments of the pedal extrem
ities, but wil reduce tho tcct to
one-half their regular size. . He
claims to have seen it done.
Think what the Elk creek crea
tion could do toward hurrying on
the civilization of China! One hun
dred tanks of it shipped to tho
Orient and the old-fashioned Chi
nese wonln would have such a
binding affection for America that
they'd stop worrying about their
feet and concentrate on politics.
'And what a solution to the Amer
ican problem of reducing the un
welcome avoirdupois that has be
come such a burden to tho club
room t, , ; V
