WORK ON ADDITION
TO START AT ONCE
Twelve Homes To be Constructed
on Forty-Acre Plot At Brooks
and Chautauqua.
Twelve houses, with a minimum
cost of $8,000, will be constructed on
the 40-acre plot of ground at Chau-
tauqua and Brooks street, taken over
by the University Home Builders'
association, was announced by offi-
cials Saturday.
Grading and opening Brooks street
will begin some time this week
This will place the addition within 1
block of the campus.
The district will be highly restrict-
ed both as to class of homes built
and to the class of people who are
allowed to buy lots in the addition,
according to the plan.
Only those who are approved by
the corporation may buy lots in the
addition. Faculty members will be
encouraged to buy and families from
towns distant from the university
who wish to move to Norman also
will be favored in the granting of
house building privileges.
Walks will be laid'and the addition
plotted. No grading on the property
will be needed as the land is level.
The site chosen for the new addition
is the highest in Norman and com-
mands a view of the river and of the
university, E. R. Kraettli, a member
of the corporation, said.
J. L. Lindsey, treasurer of the cor-
poration, L. B. Nice, and A. C. Par-
sons, are members of the building
committee and are preparing to sign
up contracts today for several
houses on the plot.
Richard Clody is secretary of the
corporation and A. C. Parsons, presi-
dent.
The corporation was capitalized
Thursday at $100,000 to build homes.
No house may be built in the ad-
dition costing less than $8000 and the
consent of the corporation must be
secured before land will be sold.
Members of the university faculty
and parents of children in the univer-
sity will be cetered to by the cor-
poration, Kraettli said.

THE TICK OF THE TOWN
The man who holds city vacant
property for a raise in not a city

munity like a tick operates on a cow
—living off her substance. The
builder is the fellow who takes a
vacant lot and puts it t ouse. One j
of his kind is worth more to a town
than ten millionaires of the other |
kind.

A Contented Woman Is the
Home's Greatest Treasurer
Remove the drudgery, the worriment over the help
problem, add ease, comfort and cleanliness in the home
and you have a contented woman.
The power to do that is largely a matter of electrical
power directed through these modern, efficient, easily op-
erated electrical appliances for the home. Irons, vacuum
leaners, washers, percolators, chafing dishes toasters all
make work in the home easier, quicker and cleaner. You'll
find it much easier to keep help and you'll find it much eas-
ier to do without help with these things installed in your
home.
