on Firesafe Home
to Transform It
“Block Fort’’ Vi ill Become!
Handsome Residence in
r Few Weeks, Build
er Says.
One who pops out to look at the
Ideal Firesafe Home w hile jo its pres
ent stage will probably say it is
about the. homllest looking home lie
ever saw.
A concrete masonry home, while it
has the appearance of solidity and
promises to he comfortable, looks
like nothing but a block fort before
that final touch of stucco work is
done.
Carl Palm proVr.ises a complete
transformation with his Konkrete
stucco. Carl was so strong with hi*
statement about how completely he
• was going to change the appearance
of this home that we must have
looked a trifle doubtful. So he dug
down in his desk and brought out his
pet set of before and after pictures.
Moyer Home Cited.
It was the home of C. Louis Meyer
at Happy Hollow boulevard and Chl
lAgo streets. Before Balm went out
•s^with his trusty crew of workmen it
loked like a block fort, set out there
to withstand warfare. But tlie after
photograph depicts one of the finest
residences in tlie city.
Konkr"te is a ready mixed, Port
land cement stucco. Palm manufac
tures it In a modern stucco plant at
Twenty-sixth and Oak streets from a
formula that gives it CO per cent
more strength than the standard spe
cifications.
Six Shades.
It is thoroughly waterproofed and
Is made in white, cream, huff, pink,
light drab and pearl gray. The
colors are mixed by machinery and
all the workman on the job has to
do is to mix it with water in order
to have it ready to apply.
The Konkrete Exterior Stucco com
pany guarantees it to lie permanent,
whether applied on concrete walls,
brick, tile nr wood. In applying on
wooden houses ;y steel lath is used.

Ilrating ( onlrttcfor «»» The Ideal Fireside
Hume.
Many people have asked me why I
so strongly in favor of h»,t
water or steam or vapor radiation as
compared to a good hot air plant.
Furnace or hot air heat is often
very efficient, but I do not believe
that it can ever be said to be as ef
ficient or as economical in operation
a« a radiation plant. It's first cost,
of courso, is lower.
'l*o shut off the heat from a hot ait
plant from any room, one simply
slides shut the shutter of the register.
But not one has ever found a means
of coaxing heat into that room in
case the wind is from the wrong di
rent ion. There is always more or less
dust and dirt from a hot air furnace
plant.
The big consideration is that the air
from a furnace is liable to become*
devitalized, and this half dead air is
of little real value in heating a
robm, as compared to fresh air.

Doorway Is Artificial Stone

The front entrance of the Ideal Firesnfe Hume was constructed of ccruent

Rood ventilation, as is possible with
labial ion, means less fuel consump

These arc the reasons why I pre
fer radiation heat and why, in spile
of the fact, that it costs a little more
to install, I consider it the most eco
nomical in the long run.

Firesafe Home
Has Kernerator
Electric Incinerator Will Dis
pose of Trash; Difference
in Machines Explained.
I« a Kelvinator the same thing as
a Kernerator, and do they do thei
same thing?
That's what one of our readers
wants to know. The answer to both
questions Is “no."
“Kelvinator" is the trade name for
an electric refrigerator. A neat little
machine goes into a. regular "Icebox”
and instead of buying Ice every day
or two the silent workman in the
light plug furnishes what Is declared
to he almost perfect refrigeration.
A Kernerator, however, is some
thing different. It is the trade name
for a very efficient incinerator, the
new and modern way of taking care
of trash and garbage in cities. The
Kernerator installed in the Idea!
Firesafe Home will burn up every
bit of it, and a handy door right at
the kitchen makes it even more use
ful to the housewife.
Mighty schools and colleges
throughout the country have In
stalled Kernerators during the last
few months, says George H. Alwine,
the Kernerator man. These inciner
ators have proven to be worth far
metre than their cost of installation
for such public buildings.

ment, Rehearsals
Indicate.
Rehearsals of “The Enchantei j
Cottage,” by Arthur Wing Pinero

week under direction of firegory
Foley and the actors have attained
extraordinary grasp upon their parts,
those who have witnessed the re
hearsals say.
Dorothy Brando and D. C. Hawley,
in the leading parts, put over their
tragically beautiful and triumphant
story in most convincing fashion.
Mark Levings and Lucy Updike,
as the pompous gentry; Ann John
stone and Richard Mallory as the
comedy clergyman and his wife;
flrace Lennon Conklin, as Mrs.
Minnett and Harry Cooper ar the
blind Major Hillgrove, all give most
convincing interpretations. The play
is real entertainment with plenty of
comedy interspersing Its lines. In
the second act the "dream” of the
oddly-mated principles gives oppor
tunity for s4c dances given by pupils
' of Miss Cooper,
The play will he the first given In
the Mary F. Cooper studio theater,
which Is nearing completion at 4ni2
Farnam street. It will also be the
first actual play presented by the
