4 GOOD PLACE TO PUT THE TILE
Vestibule Should Be Floored with a
Durable Material.
SWINGING WINDOWS ARE USEFUL
NotHIr In A Summer rnttnse Pre
ii(rA a Practice! Idea for
I In Hume (on
Irirllnn. "The rrt of a house which, will naturally
rwolvf tl f Front est wear ought to b mad
the most substantial," enlil F. M. Hamllnr,
the tile man. "The part which usually
shows wear first la the vestibule of the
front floor. Thin ought, by all means, to
b floored with tile, for 1t Is the material
Whlrh will last longest nnJ look hest. It
cost very little more than wood and has
Tin paint to wear off, and to make the
house look shabby it the place where
peojile observe It the moat."
"Those swinging windows are really the
'only thing' to have on a hour-"," said
Alvln Bloom, one of the owners of a rot
tajs "1 the Rod and Oun club grounds at
Courtland beach. The Hloom rnttajre Is
equipped with very wide windows, which
open toward the InHlde on hinges Instead
of movlns; up end down as the ordinary
window Mr. Bloom profw-ded to ehichlnte
the advantapes of this tvpe of window. It
appears to have every advantaae over the
common or garden variety of push up and
pull down window It gives Just twire the
open space that the latter doe, because
when It Is open the whole window fram.
Is empty, while with the common window
only half the frame can be thrown open.
If alloms a window to be built close up
against the roof, because no room need
be left for pushing the window up. It Is
the easiest window In the world to wash,
because both sides are equally accessible."
"I think the people of Omaha are coming
to have good taste and a competent realisa
tion of the possibilities which nature stands
constantly ready to offer them 1n the
beaut ifytng of their homes," aald a mem
ber of the park commission. "I notice an
Increasing number of hedges. iand they are
trimmed with very good taste and with
resard to the best growth of this beautiful
type of fence. The hedge should not be
planted too thick, for It spreads greatly
after it has been started, and Its branches
will interlock and Intertwine. If It la

' The people are planting more and more
trees of a slow growing but substantial
type tind they are gofnir to make this city
-ne of the prettiest In the matter of homes.
It seems strange that a mnn will think
nothing of paying Jinn for some Improve

hand of man. and yet never thinks of get

In their effect, to say the leaBt. Take
holly trees, for example, they can be
bought for about $1 50 for a tree three feet
high, or 1 fi for a tree five feet high, and
what could be prettier or more desirable
than one of these pretty arboreal decora
tlnns In a yard. They lend an air of sub

summer. On the completion of this sec

middle section of the old buildings will
be torn out, only to be replaced at once
with a section eight stories In height.
Finally the viaduct frontage will be re
moved and a new structure will rise In
Its place. There may he an Interval be

As stated In our last Issue, we Illustrate
for our readers this week a duplex house.
This design, while Inexpensive to build,
has a distinctive charm that Is often lack
ing In houses of this character. The good
return which an Investment of this charac
ter yields warrants your careful study be
fore deciding Just what description of a
house you will build.
The comparatively small extra outlay
which is necessary to build a house of this
kind and the lessening of the household
duties by having all rooms on one floor
are the reasons that have Increased the
popularity of these houses within the last
few years.
The large porch opens direct Into a re
ception hall, from which the stairs start to
second floor. Entering the door to our right
we pass Into a fine well lighted living
room, which is connected by an arch with
the dining room. Sliding doors could b
provided here at a small expense. If pre
ferred. The kitchen Is connected direct and a fine
double cupboard substituted for a pantry.

connects the bathroom and chambers give

Proper Paint and
When a house Is erected. It Is not com
plete until the painter has finished his
work. Especially is this so where the bulk
of the building material Is wood.
faint Is needed not only to beautify the
structure, but to protect It. Paint Is really
the life of a wood building, preserving It
from decay. In Its best form, paint l a
thin casing of metal-lead one of the few
materials which will not oxidize or rust
on exposure to moisture.
The Importance of good paint, and. more
over, a good painter to mix It right and
apply it right, can, therefore, be scarcely
over-estimated. Oood paint, properly mixed
for the surface which it Is Intended to pro
tact and conscientiously and skilfully ap
plied, will last a number of years and
will save constunt bills of expense. Poor
paint cracks and scales off In a short time,
often in less than a year.
In selecting paint material. It Is gener
ally safe to rely upon an experienced
painter whose work Is found to be uni
formly satisfactory to his old customers.
Ton cannot tell anything about the dur
ability of a paint when It Is first put on.
Oood and poor paints may look exactly
alike when first spread.
A house owner should not make the mis
take of asking for competitive bids from a
number of painters and accepting the low
est bid unless a specific nisterlsl has been
previously specified. It Is not enouuh to
specify simply "pure white lead and oil"
or "best materials " Even some good
painters, who would use the best wh'te
lead and best linseed oil If left to their
own choice, will use an adulterated or
cheap white lead (so called! If they know
they are In a close competition and must
name a very low price to secure the Job.
Name a standard biand f white lead al
ways and If possible a certain brand o
linseed oil also.
After a standard brand of white had
and pure linseed oil have been sre.Mflcj
and bid upon, the property owner owes i
to himself to see that he gets the n aterlal
he larstalns for Architects Insist on hav
ing the white lead and linseed oil brought
to the premises In the original packages
mid nixed there. This la a good plan to
prevent substitution and Is a good plan for
the private house owner to follow.
Hut how shall I know good paint ma
teria!?' the house owner asks. It 1s reully
a problem sometimes. I'nfortunately one
can t depend on the words "pure white
lead" on a k -g. In most of our states, sll
kinds of mixtures, some containing none
lit all. ar- sold as "pure white lead." For
yesrs this abuse was allowed to continue,
until two years ago the North Pakotx food
end da ry commissioner started an agita
tion which resulted In the pasaf of the
now famous North Imkota pure psint law.
It re'iuues paint packages to be honestly
lahehd. This ear several other states
have followed North Iakota's lead.

others ranged from 10 per tent adultera

Is, no white lead at alVi.
Ready prepared paints were also exam
ined and were found to contain other solids
beside white lead, and other liquids besid"
linseed oil, water being a favorite substi
tute tor the oil.
To label a package "white lead" or any
thing elae when it Is not that material,
seems to the ordinary citizen a plain case
of fraud.
The makers of adulterated white lead
claim, however, that it Is a trat'e custom
and that the lower price at whl- h the mix
ture sells should be a warning to the hu i r
.bat he Is not getting pine white lead; that
when metallic lead uhe raw material from
which pure white lead Is madei, is selling
at $6.36 pet" l1 pounds, anybody wit'i com
mon sense shoud know he was not getting
pure white lend when he paid only V rf
10 pounds for It.
That Is all true enough, but at the same
time It does not excuse lying labels. If a
package claims to contain a thing, it should
contain that and nothing ele. ThHt Is the
principle upon which the pure paint agita
tion Is based. In this it follows the very
successful agitation for a general pure
food law.

stead of builds. If a man buys a house
already built he is more or less at the
mercy of the seller In regard to the
painting. Even if it Is newly painted, there
Is no certainty that he will not have to
paint again within a year. There Is one
precaution which can be found, however
ask to aee the painting speciflcationa. If
a brand of white lead which Is known to
be pure is named in the specifications you
may breathe somewhat easier than If they
merely called for "pure white lead and oil"
or "best materials."
The security which this gives Is not
absolute, as the builder may not have been
watchful to see that the specifications were
carried out; or, as Is often done, there
may have been a tacit understanding with
the contractor that the specifications need
not be literally adhered to. Nevertheless,
a little curiosity on the part of the buyer
of a built-to-sell house will sometimes
reveal Information important to his pocket
book. Men ho frequently buy property for in
vestment never think of buying a house
without looking at the specifications, not
only for the painting work, but the
masonry, the carpentry and the plumbing
as well. It Is a good plan.
