room home shown at the right is estimated te auit our present spaco- saving postwar conditions.
This modern little house consists of a fire-resistant roof, nabestos shingle siding, full-thick Areproof mineral wool insulation in walls and above the ceiling, tiled bath, Venetian blinds, kitchen range, refrigerator and plumbing connections for a washing machine (if desir ed).
The house foundation and floor consist of a 27ft by 25ft concrete slab, finished with asphalt-tile-in every room.-
Provision for pleasant out- door living is made by using JL carport instead of il garage, the concrete floor of the carport serving as out- door terrace. If desired, an extra room can be added here at any future date. In fact, rooms can be added at either side of the house without damaging the architectural lines merely by continuing the gabled roof.
Gracious living in small space Is achieved in this home by put- ting living-dining room and kil- ehen together in an urea slightly larger than 11ft, by 24ft. Cooking facilities and kitchen cabinets are concealed from the Eving room by a partial partition.
The plan of the house makes provision for ampl, closet room, there being a closet just inside the front entrance, two in the hall connecting bedrooms and bath, and one in each bedroom. An unusual amount of wall space
is included in the plan to make
it possible for the home-maker
to place large pieces of furniture
conveniently and attractively.
Planned for buliding with minimum space this houve answers our modern needs. It can be bulls with a flat roof to suit the local climate without changing the basic construction plan. The carport-terrace is especially recommendable.

so few children of reason school age help at home is the prevalling philosophy so widely expounded, that the child should not be required to do anything he doesn't feel like doing, but that home chores should ha made so attractive that the child' can't be kept from doing them, We observed that a good many parents are growing disillusioned and know that this philosophy won't work.
