The walls are finished with plywood wallboard giving a very handsome paneled efiect. Both bedroolns have large closets.

Separate shower can be furnished in the bathroom if required. White enameled fir plywood will be used for the bathroom walls. Bathroom is furnished with high grade chromium plated fixtures. The kitchen is the kind spent in working on the plans before the demonstration house was built, and before proceeding with the erection of the house the plans were submitted to a number of prominent architects, some of whom pronounced it architecturally perfect," said William F. Hayward, treasurer of the company, to a representative of this paper. "One leading Los Angeles architect who worked two years on plans for a sectional house saw this house the other day and freely admitted his work was wasted, as the house is far ahead of his own ideas for such a structure."

The model house is of the early California or Monterey type, one story,28 by 36 feet, and is of all wood construction. P-M. special vertical Redwood siding is used on the exterior rvalls, which are insulated with Canec. Red Cedar shingles are used on the roof.

Copper screens are used on the windows. The kitchen also contains a cooler. The back porch or laundry has a laundry tub and a roomy closet.

"This house can be built complete in 30 days, ready for. occupancy, and the retail price is $2500 f.o.b. cars Santa Clara," said Mr. Hayward. "Other types will range lower and higher. The type of construction is so flexible that many types can be constructed, using various floor plans and various elevations. There is nothing cheap about the construction of this house. All sections are put together with splines, top, bottom and sides. All roof structural framing is of truss formation and therefore very substantial. All kiln dried lumber is used throughout

"It is our intention to sell this sectional house through the lumber clealer, and if the dealer wishes to working drarvings rvill handle the construction be furnishecl himself.

A Difficult Problem

The friend of the real estate man dropped in for advice.

"You know that corner with the brick building on it, corner Main and Eighteenth Street, John? Well, I want your advice as to what I can do with it."

"IIow much paper is there against it?" asked the real estate man.

"Not a dime," said the other. "It is entirely clear." "Taxes?"

"AIl paid up."

"Goodness !" exclaimed the real estate man. .,That IS a serious situation. Now, if someone had a mortgage on it, or if there urere a lot of taxes piled up against it, you could just make someone take it off your hands. But as it is, I reilly don't know how to advise you.,'

Where Women Are Woefully Wanting

The husband was rushing around looking for his hat, when his wife asked hih what he wanted it for.

"That fellow Smith, across the street, just phoned and asked if I would lend him a corkscrew", replied the husband.

"Well, why should you deliver it? Let him come and get it, or send it over to him by the maid", said his wife.

A look of deep sorrow and dejection spread over his countenance.

"My dear", said he, "that remark of yours sums up in its entirety the weakness of woman's reason. It is because of such reasoning as that that women cannot lead armies, control nations, be President, or take any outstanding part in the affairs of the world."

Do Your Stuff

Do your stuff-an' let 'em beller

Do your best-an' let 'em rap

If you win they'll holler "lucky"

If you lose they'll holler """p".

Let'em help or let 'em hinder

You should worry-do your stuff !

You're the guy you have to live with

Be yourself, an' treat 'em rough.

Croakers

There are many croakers upon the edges of lakes and creeks, where they sit, croaking and croakingi but they are only frogs, after all. And so it is along life's shores, but the croaking men are only frogs of rnen-John Wanamaker.

The Idle Singer

Of Heaven or Hell I have no power to sing, f cannot ease the burden of your fears, Or make quick-coming death a little thing, Or bring again thc pleasure of past years, Nor for my words shall ye forget your tears, Or hope again for aught that I can say, The idle singer of an empty day.

But, rather when aweary of your mirth, From full hearts still unsatisfied ye sigh, And, feeling kindly unto all the earth, Grudge every minute as it passes by Made the more mindful that the sweet days dieRemember me a little then I pray, The idle singer of an empty day.

The heavy trouble, the bewildering care That weighs us down who live and earn our breacl These idle verses have no power to bear: So let me sing of names remembered, Because they, living not, can ne'er be dead,. Or long time take their memory quite away From us poor singers of an empty day.

Dreamer of dreams, born out of my due time, Why should I strive to set the crooked straight? Let it suffice me that rny murmuring rhyme Beats with live wings against the ivory gate. Telling a tale not too importunate

To those who in the sleepy region stay, Lulled by the singer of an empty day.

-By William Morris.

The Character Way

A great corporation with a million capital, elected a new president. The one disideratum in this momentous decision was character-character draws big business. Business goes where they possess character. Character is not reputation-for it is an asset, it has real value. Character is the personification of all that is true and substantial. It takes a lifetime to build a great character, but when built it is as eternal as the heavens.

A thought is an idea in transit.-Pythagoras.
