$ Any Landlord Can
Improve His Property
By wirinj his house for electric light.
Tenants are demanding this modern con
venience more and more and premises
which do not have it are out of date. We
are furnishing the G.E. MAZDA lamps
to our customers who thus save money
. and get better light. We will give you
all the information you need.

HERE In pntmbly no country In
the world which contains' a
renter variety In the style of its
homes than our. While tome
localities Iran mors to a certain
styl than others, on the princi
pal rcsldonoe str??t In nvjst ny large city
can be found examples of domestic archi
tecture from nearly every civilised coun
try In the world, together wth many hybrid
styles, which usually ome from trying:
to combine thn attractive frutuns of differ
ent homes Into one; regardless of any har
monious results. The reason for th!j Is
plainly apparent. Ziigwe'.l In hla famous
play by that n-sme has referred to our
country as the great ' Mflting Pot," In
which are amalgamated thu races of the
earth.
When a man thinks of home, there la
always associated In his mind the kind of
home he was familiar with when a boy.
When he migrates to a new country he
carries with him Ideais of a home formed
during his youth, and It la quite natural
that In building his new home In the "land
of opportunity," he should decide to e;n
bixly In It the characteristics of ths domes
tic architecture of his fatherland. This
explains why we have homes of Colonial,
KiirIIhIi, German, Swiss Chalet and bun
galows, which are distant descendants of
the Japanese pagoda. Any of these can
be called typical American, If they fulfill
the American Idea with reference to plan
arrangement and convenience.
The porch, for example, Is distinctly
American. The porch or veranda, which
we consider Indispensable on a private
home, la seldom seen In any part of Eu
rope and Is unknown In the Oriental coun
tries. In some parts of Europe, Venice
being a good example. Is fou-nd the nearest
approach to the porch, which are Open re
cesses in the wall, known as loggias. These
afford no better outlet than a room with
a large window and are not as airy aa our
modern sun room with the windows open.
Our country has auch a variety of cli
mate, and climate always has a consid
erable Influence upon the arrangement of
a home, that no style or plan could be
considered as distinctly typical of the
entire1 country. In the New England states
the colonial style, an adaptation of the
Georgian style of England, Is always the
favorite, and this may be considered the
moBt popular style of domestic architecture
In this country, the reason for this being the
fact that a great many of the early set
tlers In the various parts of the western

country were born and raised In New Eng
land and took with them to their new
homes the Impression of old ones as nat
urally as & foreigner coming Into our land.
The colonial style Is also very popular In
most of the southern states, but undergoes
a decided change In plan, the more preten
tious colonial homes being a group of semi
detached buildings rather than one com
pact building which becomes more prac
tical In order to economize on the heat in
the northern states. The central states re
ceive the Influence of both the east and
west, with the colonial style predominating,
clossly followed tn popularity by the Eng
lish half timbered style. In the extreme
western part of ths country a marked
change la noticeable In the predominating
styles. Here the homes are built low,
spreading, and many of them almost rustic
In appearance; In fact so popular have
these semt-rustlc homes become that the
term "studied rusticity" has been coined
as descriptive -of them. In the extreme
southwestern part of the country, the do
mestic styles show the Influence of the se
verest plain square mud brick houses of
the Pueblo Indians and Mexicans, while In
the mountainous countriea are found many
examples of Swiss chalet style with their
enormous peaked roofs, suggesting the
peaks end crags with which they are sur
rounded. Zangwell's prophesy that out of this mul
titude of races will grow a greater Ameri
can race with Its own characteristics In
harmony with our Independanee and In
dustry may also result In the gradual de
velopment by slow evolution of the dis
tinctly American style of domestic archl
tecture, but until that Mm comes any
home which Is pleasing to look upon, home
like and convenient, Is typical American.
