' "Statement to the effect that lumber
prices are rising or are about to rise are
knerely cries of alarmists and pessimists."
raid D. P. Benedict of the firm of Uul
lard, Hoagland at Benedict. "Some people
aUwaya sea things fining. They are not I
the. people that build up a city. There
eetns to be a general Impression abroad
that lumber has risen. There has been
wlda advertisement of the fact that the
forests of tha country are giving out- and
that wa ara via In g up each year much
Mora timber than matures. . ma la a
fact, but still we have not reached the
point whera there Is a dearth sufficient to
flrlva tha prices skyward. There Is still
plenty of timber and there are plenty of
jawmllla at work turning It Into lumber.
' "Tha only difficulty is In getting cars
to transport It to the consumer. Tills Is
a, real difficulty that we have felt and
M feeling. But it has lint resulted In
driving the prices up. The figures bear
this statement out. The lumbers whim
are most used In houae building are. In .
fact, slightly cheaper now than they were J
a year ago. Of course, prices vary slightly I
from time to time, and some woods have
tone up a little. Hut In general thrv
fire woods that are not In general demand.
Take yellow pine, for example. Sev
enty per cent of the lumber that goes Into
the average frame structure Is yellow
pine. It Is used for the siding, for the
Joists, the studding. It forms the back-'
tone of the building. This Is a little hit
Cheaper than It was a year ago. Shingles
are about the same. Other .roods have
(rona up or down very slightly and the in
crease In one is balanced by the decrease
In the price of another.
' "On the whole the lumber situation Is
very encouraging to the man who Is think
Ing of building a home or erecting a house
an Investment He need not draw
bade at all because of a high price in
lumber. And the supply In Omaha at the
present time Is good. A good supply of
yearly every kind of wood on hand and
can be delivered where It Is wanted at
nee."

The atone balcony which adds so much
to the architectural attractiveness of many
European bouses and is especially in evi
dence In Germany and France, is beginning
to appear In Omaha. It has the double
virtue of beauty and utility. It forms a
aurprtalngly beautiful and stately setoff
-wf tha plain walls of a building that la
far superior to a mere atone trimming aet
Into the face of the wall. In addition to
this it gives a balcony where the tenants
of thoee parts of the apartment to which
the balcony is attached may sit and enjoy
the summer evenings. It is usually on
apartment houses that this type of stone
balcony is used in this country, though In
Europe It is in evidence on the great
majority of houses in the heart of the
cltTea. The new apartment house being
erected by Hamilton Bros, at Twenty
fourth and Farnam streets .is being
equipped with balconies of this kind and
the affect la very pretty.
The librtry and den of a new home being
built by a cltlxen of taste on the west
aide has the 'walls finished in embossed
leather. The effect Is extremely pretty and
decidedly desirable for a room of this sort.
The dark color of the leather and Its rich
ness Is restful to the eye and to the
lenses. The leather blends well in its color
and embossing with the bindings of the
books upon the shelves and the soft light
hed over it from the shaded electric
lamps makes the whole room an ideal one
In which to rest after the day's exhaus
tion and in which to fix the mind upon
study or to shut out the world when one
baa a book to read for enjoyment. The
leather has the added virtue of being dur
able and of not showing dirt readily.
Judging by the real estate transactions,

H radius of a mile from the postofflce
hows nearly all of them of tha most
modern construction and they are growing
In number at a surprising rate. They are
all erected with considerable attention to
beauty and sightliness, having ample porch
amd yard space. One building of this kind
which la Just being finished on Twenty
fourth street and Bt. Mary's avenue by
A. Hansen la unique In Ita style of archi
tecture. It la built of vitrified brick with
the red mortar cut back half an inch from
the face 4f the wall. The gable front of
' the building does not slope In straight
lines, but In graceful curves like the old
Dutch houses of two or three centuries
aigo. On tha second floor aome of the
windows are aet deep in the wall and have
email panes. The whole gives the rough,
rugged effect of solid strength and slm
pllclty which is a dominant note In the '
architecture of the present time. The ;

with heavy roof supported by brick

"The sale of hard woods In Omaha has
Increased with leaps and bounds in the laat
few years and indicates the greater ele
gance with which Omaha home builders
are finishing their houses now," said George
"W. Douglass, of the Omaha Hardwood Lum
ber company. "Take oak for example. Sales
of this popular wood have increased more
than 100 per cent In the last two years.
"It la necessary to carry a stock of many
kinds of wood in Omaha nowadays, whereas
a few years ago there was cull only for a
few civ, the commonest. This Indicates the
fact that people are studying the home
building question here as much as they
atudlod it In the biggest cities a few years
ago. People here get very advanced ideas
from the magaaines published on the sub
ject and they call for some of the very
rarest woods. ;
"W- carry In stock conalaully these
woods for Omaha home builders: Oak, ash,
hickory, maple, birch, basswood, poplar,
cottonwood, elm, 'cypress, gum, cherry, but
ternut, walnut, white holly, rosewood, eb
ony, mahogany, lignum vitae and amaranth.
Mahogany is about the iiiokI expensive of
these and it la one of the most in demand,
which Indicates that the homo builders have
the money to pay for the bel there Is."

"A laige Increase In the proportion of
homes heated by hot water, hot air or
steam has been made during the last sum
nr." said John Hussle of the John liu'ssle
Tin rd ware rompany. "If our business Is any
criterion of this Increase, It Is something
wonderful and shows to what extent the
people of the city are putting permanent Im
provements and the solid comforts Into their
homes."

Uses for Decorative Tile in Modern
The appearance of the floors and walls Is
rn Impci'ant feature In the Interior deeor
Htlon of the home. Costly carpets find
iiKs, net wail paper, hard wood Inl lid
rrmr'- Paneled oak. cherry and mahogany
wl"B'o(i'ie;. arc some of the coverings
mnka tne floors and walls at-
tractive end ornamental. One of the most
recent n'tnrlals to be employed In Ameri
can domestic architecture an a floor cover
ing and wall facing Is the baked clay tile.
H has been used for Centuries in En;Wnd,
France. Germany and other EVropcan
countries, where Inorganic and fireproof
materials are given preference over wood,
and where the ordinary home Is built for
generations rather than for years.
Twenty-five years ago tile was virtually
unknown In this country, where wood was
the usual building material. With the advent
of the modern bath room, the clay tile
made Its first appearance In America as a
covering for its floors and walls, which
were being constantly splashed with water.
The waterproof and germproof qualities of
tiling, toother with the facility with which
a tiled floor can be cleaned, made It espe
cially appropriate as a sanitary floor cov
ering. The tiled bath room, however, was
for a long time regarded as an exrienslve
luxury, to be enjoyed only by the wealthy,
who were able to pay for its sanitary and
decorative qualities. Today a tiled bath
room Is looked upon as such a necessity
as to be required by law In the building
ordinances relating to hotels, tenement
houses and other structures of a seml
publlo character in many of our largest
cities.
It is a strange coincidence that the most
decorative of all floor and wall coverings
should have made Its first appearance In
this country In a room where, decoration Is
not at all essential. Yet, however unin
tentional It may have been, the modern
bath room, with .Its bright open plumbing
fixtures, Its porcelain tub and Its tiled
flloor and wall, has become one of the most
attractive rooms In the house. The bath
room tiling was at first unusually white,
but as the colored glazed and decorative
tile Is Just as sanitary, Just as waterproof
and Just as durable as the plain white. It
was not long before, the American archi
tect followed the example of his European
confrere and took advantage of the orna
mental qualities of tiling. The walla of the
bath room are today often covered with
sea-green and other colored glazed tiling
and the floors are laid In ornamental de
signs executed Jn ceramic mosaic The
colored tile emphasises and shows off to
advantage the extreme wlhteness of the
bath tub and other plumbing fixtures and
by a Judicious use of wall paneling and
floor design the clever architect can cor
rect, wherever necessary, the faulty ap
pearance or lack of symmetry in a bath
room which is too small, too narrow or
otherwise out of proportion with the rest
of the house.
The durable, sanitary and artistic prop
erties of the baked clay product were each
made evident in the bath room tiling, and
each in turn led to the adoption of this
permanent floor and wall covering for other
parte, of the house. The durability, beauty

nome uuilder as an appropriate covering
for the floors and walnscottlng of the vestl

made, can be baked so hard that the steel
nails of the shoe, so destructive of less
permanent flooring materials, cannot
scratch It any more than the steel knife
scratches the ordinary dinner plate. The

traffic through the vestibule and to the

Many tiled floors of the present day present
startling examples of bad taste, both In

fault of the decorator or home builder and
not of the material Itself.

dences. especially where outdoor living Is
an Important feature, the porch Is a much
used and also a much abused part of the
house. Its floor is subjected to the most
Irving exposure to the elements. Part of
the time it Is covered with rain or snow;
again, it In exposed to the baking rays of
the sun; and at all times when' the house
is occupied it is covered with more or less
street dirt.
I'nlens It is slanted so that the rain or
snow wttr run oft It and unless It is pro
tected by paint and other covering, wood
cannot withstand tills treatment without
soon showing signs of wear. Consequently
about the first part of a new house which
betrays evidences of age and decay Is the
wooden porch floor. And yet, like the vesti
bule, the appearance of the porch Is all the I
more Important because it is seen from the
street, and is unconsciously scrutinized by i
every visitor, while waiting for the door
bell to be answered. A tiled porch Is about
the only one which Is at once decorativo !

J,,8t what th effect of the bank" makln
rule whlch Prev"lted ,h" depositors from
wnnarawing an tneir actual money me last
week will be is a matter of conjecture by
the real estate men. Another situation will
have an Influence on those who have money
to Invest, which tho real estate men count
on. Securities are constantly reported as
"shrinking" and referred to as "watered"
In one way or another. It Is the belief of
leading real estate men that money will be
withdrawn from the banks after the clear
ing house rule Is suspended and Invested in
real estate. The same view of the situa
tion Is taken by real estate men of other
, cities. A number were In Omaha from Cin- j
, coin during the week and they predict big!
things In the real estate world after the!
banks clear up their difficulty. A. B. Bcall
of Sioux City, president of the Dumbarton
Realty company, holders of a large amount
of city property In Iowa, was In Omaha dur
ing the week looking after his Council lilulls
interests. Mr. Beall said: "I must be at
my desk all .next month, aS there will be
plenty of business In the real estate offices.
People are not goiny to put their money In
the sugar bowls. They will not leave it In
, the banks. Though the situation does not
Justify drawing It out in fear of loss, the
investors will buy real estate when it la
all over."
Proposals of various real estate ex
changes throughout the country to organise
a national exchange or association, met
with approval from the Omaha Real Ea- I
tate exchange at its last meeting, and this

' gatlon to any city In the United States for
the purpose of effecting the organization.

of all the cltidi will be more closely bonded
together than they have been.
Omaha Real estate dealers who are large
I holders of South Omaha property, or who
represent the owners of real estate In that
city, are unanimous in expressing the be
lief that all South Omaha real estate will
be increased in value by annexing South
I Omaha to Omaha. Harry Tukey. secretary
I of the Real Estate exchange, said: "I have
talked with a . number of our members.

tered upon the floor and walla. From the
surface of the baked clay tile this can be
removed as easily and as thoroughly as
from an ordinary dinner platter. Con
sequently It is a small matter to keep a
tiled kitchen In as sanitary a condition 4s
a modern hospital. If, however, the floor
Is covered with wood, much of the organic
matter that falls upon It Is absorbed by
the boards or passes Into the cracks be
tween them. Here It decomposes and
breeds germs of all kinds from the simple
"anaerobic" germ of decay, so offensive to
the sense of smell by Its peculiar musty
odor, to other disease germs positively
dangerous to human life. By covering the
wooden floors with a superficial and semi
water proof material the work of keeping
the kitchen looking clean la much lessened,
but much dirt and moisture finds Its way
under the covering, where It 'remains for
months or years until the covering Is re
placed because It has vorn out. By merely
secreting oi covering up this dirt, these
superficial water-proof coverings really add
to the unsanitary condition of the kitchen.
The tile floor la water-proof, germ-proof
and Insect-proof. Huts or mice cannot
make any Imprfctxion upon It. By using
rounded "cove base" tile in the corners
and at the union of the floor and walls, all
.I1Kies and coiners which become the re.
ceptacles of dirt or organic matter are
abollithed. The tiled kitchen can be quite
easlly and safely rinsed out with a few
buckets of water. In comparison with the
laborious scrubbing of wooden floors, this
is a great saving of domestic labor. The
tiled kitchen has the further advantage of
Inducing the domestic servants uncon
sciously to live up to the cleanliness of
their surroundings.
