The "Stucco" House
It is not generally reali.odUint fully
!Hlr'r of the houses, public and private, in
countries of Continental Kuropo are fin
ished in stucco.
This material is composed of cement
and sand in ahout the proportion used
in making sidewalks.
American adaptibility has devised a
system by which old frame houses may
be converted at small cost into the ex
ternal appearance of stone by the use of
stucco on expanded metal lath. This
makes them warmer in winter and cooler
in summer. Saves paint and fuel.
The Stucco house is now the ac
cepted fashion in house architecture.
Any good plasterer can do the work.
An architect should be consulted.

HE only difference between liv
ing In a duplex house or a
bungalow 1 the fact that In one
case you must go to the second
story for your bungalow, or If
living on the first story, stand
whatever noise or confusion that may be
transmitted through the floor from the
second floor tenant. In other respects the
bungalow and a duplex flat is Identical. The
rooms are all on one floor, connected In the
ame way as In a bungalow and have light
and air from all sides. This is the principal
point, In which they differ from regular fiat
buildings, since In the latter, light and air
Is seldom obtained from more than two
and never more than three sides.
The latest thing in the way of bungalow
flats Is a rather large building of four or
five stories high, accommodating as many
tenants as possible, each floor being a com
plete bungalow flat. When the building Is
three stories In height the tenants are ma.le
to walk to the third floor, the same as In
flat buildings, but when the building is
four stories or more In height, an elevator
Is provided. Buildings of the latter style
are seldom built separately, being built In
groups of from two to five, with a central
heating plant separate from the buildings,
furnishing the power for the elevator and
using the exhaust steam for the heating.
Whether putting up bungalow In tiers,
five or more stories In height, Ilka the
abode of th cliff-dwellers will prove a
practical investment in the long run, but
hat not been fully determined, since this Is
a new stunt In the building line. The experi
ence of living in bungalow one hundred
foet In the air must be a novel one. While
It takes a little longer to get to them, It

In living in a ky-craper home, fr.om the
fact that It brings one abov the annoy
ance o Insect and the noise and dust from
the street. In the summer time ther Is al
ways a cool breeie and the outlook I
In most cases an Interesting one.
Th average small Investor, however,
will always look to the two-tory du
plex house as about his siie for a small
profitable Investment. A small additional
expense and making the building three
stories high thereby dividing tha cot of
the roof, foundation and lot between the
three flats instead of two would mean to In
crease the return from the rent to a
greater proportion to the amount Invested.
For a building containing three bungalow
flats it would not be advisable to have sep
arate heating plants since the third floor
tenant would object seriously to traveling
up and down so many flight of stairs In
order to take care of his heating plant.
The most profitable way when making an
Investment of this kind would be to erect
two buildings side by side each containing
three flats, each flat being a complete
bungalow In its floor plan and heating all
six flat from one heating plant located in
the basement of one of the buildings. In
this way the cost of operation would be di
vided among six flats, the same a in a
six flat flat building, but through offering
more attractive home would mean much
higher rents for each flat than can be ob
tained from an ordinary six flat building.
While a bungalow flat ran have any
number of rooms it la advisable to not pro
vide more than two bedroom with possibly
a small servant's room. In addition to th
parlor, dinning room, kitchen, pantry and
bathroom. Flat buildings are not Intended
to accommodate large families of children
and It is a well known fact among real es
tate men that a five or six room flat will
rent as easily and for as much rent as one
containing several more room. . The rent
In all cases depending to a large extent
upon how conveniently It is arranged, how
well finished and especially upon the loca
tion of the building, both as to It being
In a desirable neighborhood and its prox
imity to a car line. Flat building half a
block from a car Una are more desirable
than those right on the car line. By all
means never build a good houae or build
ing, either as a private home or a an In
vestment In a neighborhood of cheap
lots. Looked at purely from an Investment
standpoint It Is far better to pay a little
more for th lot and a little It-ss for the
house or building than to economize on the
price of the IM. when it means a sacrifice
of desirability as to location.
MUCH SAVING IN FIREPROOF
CONSTRUCTION IS APPARENT
Delusion of Insurance shovrn by
Brief Calculation mm to
Probabilities.
With regard to Innurance, let u Fee how
it really works. Here Is a concrete exam
ple. Three years agi a man put up a $100.
00t store building. Me d'dn't think It nec
essary to make it fireproof, because he got
a rate of only $1.60 per $100 on the f jll value
of that building. Outside of repair, etc..
that wrr nut In-ured against, tiie total cost
of that building. Including the IiiKiiiance
premiums f r thrte yens, was $104,500. The
building burned a wnile at;o, and some of
Ills friends congratulated lilin upon receiv
ing virtually the full amount of insurance.
There was some little salvage In founda
tions, some brick, etc., but let ns assume
that h got back the entire $100,000. He
didn't get back the premiums. There is a
loss of $4 S00. It will be five months before
he will have gotten in'.o a temporary build
ing, with new stock and his buMuens going
along normally, so that $10.0U Is the least
h can count upon losing In profits that he
should have made during that time. He
count a still further loss of $-'.000 by not
being able to make a good purchases as on
null of 111 stock he had. One thousand
dollar more goe In the Io.-h of records of
Order, account.", etc. The rent of quartcis
he will occupy while rebuilding will be
$.1009 more. Moving Into that new building
will be at least $1,000 more. So that he f.g
ure a straight lots of (Jl.TM). not to men
tion lone due to old cu-tomer getting
away from him and audi incidental tnat
cannot be well rxpresHrd In dollar and
cents. He certainly must now realize that
he would have been $.'0,000 better off had
he had a fireproof building Kitspa 1 1 ii k in
Holland .

"I don't think that It is any of the gov
ernment business what my age Is" i the
fiequeut reply that women make to the
cfiimiH enumerator.
"Well, then, t will have to put It down ac
cording to my Judgment, and of course I
do not want to make you older than you
really are."
"Well, then, If you have got to know, I
was born such and tiucni a year, but it I
none of your business, anyhow, and Just
wun't tell you the date of my birth. So
there."
"I have been niariicd Wve times" said one
woman to aji enumerator In th Third
ward, "and 1 have not had very good luck
this marriage, but I'm going to keep trying
until I can get the risht kind of a man."
"I don't like to be bothered with your
fool questions," said one woman In the
West r amain dlbti lct to an enumerator.
"I am buy now and you will ftav to come
around some other time or go down to the
stoie and my husband. He know more
aboi,t II. me iriiNU paper thn I do."
"At least 'i per cent of the people that I
have enumerated," ald one enumerator
from the north part t,t the city, "do not
I know where their parents were born. And
I It Is umoug the more intelligent people that
' this Ignorance Is mot prevalent."
j "We I un acro.s bom m enc in ojr

noying." said another enumerator. "I had
a ca?e this morning where in order to get
Into the house J had to go around by way
of th kitchen. The mother was sick In
bed, with nothing to eat in the house. A
year old child was rolling around In filth
on the floor. There was no fire in the
house and the baby was crying of hunger.
The mother said that her husband left
her a week or more ago and she had heard
nothing from him. I don't know Just how
we are going to enumerate that case."
Some trouble Is being experienced with
the Third ward census enumrrato' among
the Chinamen. They are a little suspicious
about answering and pretend they cannot
understand the questions. But when the
enumerator flashes his badge ihey Keiier

answers to the schedule question. Fiv

Impossible to find an enumerator who
