I With Omaha's bank clearings (oaring, real
j estate, values rifling steadily, more homes
being built than ever before and still no
vacant houses, the steady and substantial
growth of the city Is very evident Thi
report of the bulldlno- Inspector shows that
for the present mrnth the building; permits
taken out agarcgate more than $400,(f'O.
which Is nearly twice as great as the
amount for the same period last year. The
permits show a great preponderance In
homes costing- from tJ.&oo to l6.ono, that Is.
I of the homes of the great middle class of
j moderately well-to-do Americans who form
the backbone of the population In any
I community..
A home beinV tullt In the West Farniun
district shows the profitable use of wrought
Iron hinges of Gothic pattern; Thi-sn look
particularly well on heavy tlmtwrod doors
of the old style. The hinges are wrought
' Into all kinds of fantastic patterns, some
of them running out Into branches half
, way over the surface of the floor.
"Simplicity," said an Omaha architect
who has designed a number of handsome
homes during the last year, "Is the key
note along which people are building now
aday. There Is also a marked return to
the day of our forefathers. The style of
100 or more years ago prevails In every
thing, even to furniture. The number of
house built In recent years, for example,
with large, roomy living rooms with
raftered ceilings, ample window space, fire
place, hlghbacked benches and furniture
In keeping with all this, is rather greater,
I should say, than the houses built In the
modern style with plastered walls or Il
luminated ceilings.
"It Is a good style from both the stand
point of taste and economy. Once a
raftered and paneled celling Is built there
Is no wear out to It and If a good quality
of wood Is used It gathers value with the
passing year. And certainly, from the
standpoint also of comfort a room of this
kind Is bettor than a room of the modern
style with all tho trapping of the age and
the expensive man-made contrivances for
o-called beautifying and ornamenting.
"Furniture Is taking a turn In the samV
direction. Mission furniture which was
rather odd and unique a few years ago Is
now the rule. Wa are having a renaissance
of the a'mple, a reversion to the type of
of furnishings which our grandparents
made in the days before the whlpsaw and
the turning lathe had been Invented to
'paint the rose' as it were and to try to
make more beautiful the woods which 11a
tur has made."
The purchase by Jeff W. Bedford of a
tract west of Miller park to be used or
suburban home of a certain quality only,
how the protection which builder are
taking against undesirable buildings. TMh
I a plan very well known In the east and
In all large cities where men may seek to
Invade a neighborhood of good homes with
Inferior dwellinga. By so doing the un
scrupulous builder reaps an advantage to
hlnrself In a
report a great increase In their business
during the last year. Taul W. Kuhns,
speaking before the Commercial club last
week, said the Conservative company, of
which' he Is secretary, Increased it loans
fur the erection of new homes more than
33 per cent during the last year. Tho men
Interested In the local companies declare
there is a large field for the formation of
other companies for the same line of worV.
The demand for money for home building
Is so great that the cash could be Invested
with advantage to the company and also
to the builders. At the present time some
outside money Is used for this purpose be
cause the Omaha building associations are
not able to handle the full volume of the
business.
"Farquetry floors are growing In popu
larity In Omaha homes," said J. F. Bloom
of the J. F. Bloom company. "These floor,
which are made of wood of different colors,
exhibit the acme of the Joiner's art and
they are a thing beautiful as well a won
derful to see. The different color of wood
used are woven Into pattern of vaiious
kind with excellent effect.'

FUNDS FOR CHILD" SAVING
Dr. Clark Reports Having; Nearly ae

Rev. A. W. Clark, who ha been engaged
since late In the summer In raising money
needed for the Child Saving Institute, re
ports his work progressing very slowly.
When he wa summoned to take hold after
Dr. Slsson was stricken by Illness he found
a debt of 2.P00 that had to be taken care
of Immediately and at least IZOoif more
needed to carry the Institute through to
tb end of the fiscal year, which close on
Thursday next. Those sums he has raised
within MOO and he expects to secure that
amount.
Dr. Clark says he looked upon the matter
a almost hopulosa when he started, but Is
now greatly encouraged by the assistance
the Omaha people have given him.
BITULITHIC GETS JUDGMENT
ravlar Company la Awarded Verdict
Against City for In of
Ita riant.
Judge Day Saturday morning gave the
Nebraska Bltulithic company Judgment
against the city of Omaha for and in
terest, for the use of the Bitullthio com
pany' paving plant In the repair of street
during Jhe ummer of 190S. The city coun
cil entered Into a contract with the plaintiff
for the use of '.he plant without asking for
bids and the city attorney contended the
contract was Hit gal. The company con
tended even If tho contract was bad It
should be paid the fair value of the use
of Its property, a the city had been acting
within It power when It provided for the
repair of the streets. Suit wa brought for
$840 and Interest, but Judge Day reduced
the amount to tfl-IO.
Pries

T 18 a peculiar fact that, al
though a home Is primarily
considered a woman's kingdom,
most homes particularly those
built to rent are built without
consulting a woman. As men
are not familiar with housework, the result
Is that most houses do not rnake house
work aa easy as they might, with hardly
any or very little extra cost.
To begin with, the kitchen, where the
heaviest housework Is done, is the room
generally neglected In planning a house.
Frequently parlor, dining room, library,
etc.. are planned first. What space Is left
is allotted to the kitchen. That Is why so
many houses have kitchens awkward In
ihape; generally 'too long, or too wide, or
too narrow, or ill ventilated, or encumbered
with awkward projections and corners.
Whether the housewife does her own
cooking or employs help Is Immaterial here.
She will do her work with less fatigue, or
will be able to procure and retain help
better, if the kitchen Is treated and built,
not as a room merely, but as a workshop
where food is prepared. That the latter
task Is by no means a light one can bo
shown by a few figures. For example, at
three meals a day, a housewife must pre
pare about 1,100 meals a year. If In serving
these she must walk only twenty-five feet
from the range to the dining room table
and back, making only two trips to and
fro for each meal, It means a walk of S00
miles a year equal to the distance between
New York and Baltimore! And that Is a
very conservative estimate.
In order to save steps the kitchen should
be laid out. as a square room rather than
oblong, and not too large, so that all parts
may be reached with few steps. The sink
should be In about the center of one wall;
the range adjoining, either In a straight
line or, preferably, at a right angle. Either
on the other side of the sink or within
easy reach at a right angle should be the
kitchen pantry or closet if there Is one.
It is possible to greatly improve on the
latter without any extra expense. Leave
It ovt altogether. Instead place around the
walls on two sides (the other two being
given up to lnk, gas stove and range) two
or thred parallel rows of drawer and com
partmentssimilar to a kitchen cabinet, but
without the stoop-compelling lower com
partments. They should be placed neither
too high for convenient reach nor too low
to necessitate stooping, both of which are
Injurious to women. These shelving should

uffer by the transaction. In the tract
bought by Mr. Bedford no lots will be sold
to persons who do not agree to build houses
f a certain minimum value.
An evidence of the growing metropoll
tanlsm of Omaha Is found in the rapid mul
tiplication of apartment houses. Two of
tho largest of this type of dwelling In
Omaha are being duplicated at the present
time by their owners. These are the "Ma
jestic" on Sherman avenue and the Hamil
ton flat at Twenty-fourth and Farnam
street. Both of these are built on the
generoua roomy line characteristic and
typical of the west. Every Inch of possi
ble space I ultlllsed, however. The apart
ments look out on broad stretches of green
sward with tree, shrubbery and flower
bed.
The demand for these apartments Is
great and they are rarely vacant This,
too. In spite of the fact that they rent at
a figure which give the landlord a very
generous profit on the Investment The
advantage of the apartment ar many.
They give tha convenience of a hotel with
out the publicity. There la a Janitor and
tnan-or-all-work and furnace man, so that
th householder finds tha burden upon
himself considerably lighter than in the
separate dwelling.
The plain common or garden variety Is
also springing Into uch favor in Omaha
that the builder are not able to keep up
with the demand. These really form a
very comfortable dwelling, resembling in
no way the flat of the large eastern cities
which I set flush with th sidewalk line
and with little or no room between the
house, and so little room at th back that
th clothe have, to be hung on the roof.
Th flat of Omaha la provided with a nice
little bit of lawn In front and generally
haa rather an expansive backyard. In
practically every case there Is a roomy
porch.

Th ravage of th dread "whit plague"

an arrangement would not only muke
storing and handling utensils much more
convenient, but also more sanitary, and
would be easier to keep clean. Being well
above the floor and covered from above,
dust and dirt would not be so apt to find
access.
Don't say there would be no room for
these shelvca on account of the windows
for I advocate that the windows be made
smaller in height, but greater in width,
and that thoy be placed all alnno- th -,n

tutes in the shape of waterproof wall paper
that can easily be kept clean with a damp
rag. The wooden wainscoting, with Its
many grooves and interstices, offers too
many lodging placos for dust, dirt and
germs.
All dust catching corners and openings
should be avoided a much as possible.
This appllea particularly to moldings along
walls and doors. Frequently fancy mold
ings are put on with aa many grooves aa
possible. Each one of them la a dust trap.
The same principle applies to wooden base
. strips.
Climbing steps as often as a housewife
finds it necessary Is not conducive to good
health, If the risers are higher than six
Inches. In many houses they are, In order
to save a little space. It is also much bet
ter for the housewife's health to have a
landing between each .pair of floors, rather
than a steep, straight stairway. Nor will
this require much sacrifice in the way of
space or expense. Stairways not equipped
with banisters should be fitted with a ban J
rail, which often offers welcome help to a
woman carrying up a load. Stair climbing
for such purposes should be avoided alto
gether. This can easily bo, accomplished by
the Installation of a suitable (strong and
roomy) dumb waiter at least, from the
cellar to the kitchen, If not to all th floors.
The cost of such an Installation Is surpris
ingly small; particularly In consideration
of the saving of steps and the protection
to furniture or interior woodwork from
scratches when heavy articles are carried
through the rooms. Think how convenient
such a little "hoist" would be for fetching
coal, wood, and eatables from the cellar!
The location of the windows seems, In
every case, to be decided upon solely for
their effect upon the exterior appearance
of tho building; no matter how much the
wall space will be cut by them. As a con
sequence, many rooms, quite large so far as
floor space is concerned, offer ' very little
wall space to place ' furniture without
obstructing or obscuring one or more win
dows. Designers of homes sin In this par
ticular, especially In the case of bedrooms.
Windows are placed In bedroom walls, for
example, without considering the dimen
sions of bedsteads. A double bedstead 1
about six feet long by five feet Wide. Yet
how often do we find bed room where
there Is no wall space long enough to place-
such a bed along the wall without run
ning right against a window. How many
bed rooms have two windows In one side,
cutting the wall Into three spaces, neither
of which 1 wide enough to permit placing
the head of a bedstead against It The
same applies to couches, dressers, chiffo
niers, etc
It is well not to have so many windows
of the style now In vogue In a room as to
destroy most of the wall space for the
disposition of the furniture. Transom and
high oriel windows, In addition to perhaps
one or two of the common style, will give
as much light and air as desired without
exposing the Interior to the public gaze.
Such window also offer the advantage of
Improved ventilation. It will be possible
to keep one or two of them open during the
night without having the wind constantly
sway tlje window shade to and fro, beat
ing a disturbing tattoo. By controlling
a set screw and a
sliding rod, reaching down well within a
woman' height, their regulation Is easily
accomplished. They should also admit of
being readily' lifted out of their frame
for cleaning purposes.
The same applies to the other window.
If they cannot bo easily so arranged, they
should be made to swing around two
pivots, so as to have either side of the
pane accessible from the Interior. This
will make window washing considerably
less of a horror and danger than the
present clumsy form of windows, Which,
for cleaning, require more or less climbing
on the outside of the house.
Bedrooms should have communicating
doors, even where there I a hallway.
