By WILLIAM A. RADFORD
William A. Had ford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subject* pertaining to the
eubject of building, for the readers of this
paper. On account oi his wide experience
aa Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he
la, without doubt, the highest authority
on all these subjects. Address all Inquiries
to William A. Radford. No. 1827 Prairie
avenue, Chicago, 111., and only lncloae
two-cent stamp for reply.
A home is more than four walls and
a door. It Is n mirror of the occu-
pant's ambitions, character and accom-
all of the regular type, there being no
odd or freak designs in the plans.
Thoroughly American In architec-
ture and distinct In Its every detail,
the exterior gives the general effect of
excluslveness and beauty that la so
hard to get and so seldom seen In ordi-
nary homes.
Particularly attractive and Inviting
is the large front porch, and the shin-
gling of the columns lias given It a dis-
tinctive appearance that forms a pleHS-
Ing combination with the other out-
side woodwork. The roof and [Kirch
are decided characteristics of this
home, and the lines of both create an
excellent effect.
In plunnlng a home, the housewife,
besides giving deep thought to the ex-
terior appearance, takes a greater In-
terest still In the Interior arrangement,
and this homt In that respect Is Ideal.
The arrangement Is convenient and
comfortable, minimizing housework.
The bouse Is 80 feet wide and 42
feet long and can be erected on a com-
paratively narrow lot. From the
porch one enters the living room which
Is 13 by 17 feet. It is well lighted
with a window opening on the porch
and one at the side. Directly ahead
Is the dining room with three windows
and three entrances. It Is large and
comfortable, being 17 by 15 feet. ,The
dining room opens into the kitchen.

pllshments. It Is a refuge from the
trials and struggles of the outer world
Anyone can tack four walls together,
put up partitions, throw on a roof and
call the thing a "house."
But building a home Is an entirely
different matter.
Your home means more to you than
everything else In life, for you work
each day that you may enjoy Its com-
forts at night as you work each day
and also the hall. A screened porch
Is located at the rear of this side of
the house, as are the steps leading to
the cellar.
On the other side of the first floor
are two bedrooms and a pantry. The
bedroom at the front of the house Is
entered from the living room and could
be converted into an excellent library,
office or sewing room. It Is 13 by 11
feet 0 inches and lias one large closet
that you may deserve it. Because
home Is such a closely related part of
you^-your constant companion—It
should be attractive, cozy, comfort-
able and a place that you look for-
ward with pleasure to going to. It
should be a place that you are proud
to point out as your home and an as-
Bet to your community.
Such a home that will meet all these
and two windows, one facing on the
porch. From the living room you go
through the hall to enter the second
bedroom which is 10 by 11 feet 6
Inches, and has one closet and two
windows, permitting excellent ventila-
tion. There is also an additional
closet In the hall that might be used
for keeping linen or whatever else the
housewife might wish to use It for.

Because building conditions vary in
different localities it is impossible to
say exactly what this home will cost,
bat your loCal contractor, architect or
professional builder can quote you
estimates which should make It quite
economical, aa the materials used are
The stairs leading to the second
floor are in the hall and are located
between the two first-floor bedrooms.
They lead on to another hall upstairs.
Three bedrooms, two 13 by 12 feet and
one 14 by 18 feet and the bath, occupy
this second floor.
For the builder who is seeking a
home with plenty of room but wishes
a bungalow style of architecture, this
house Is ideally suited for him.

REAL COURAGE
"To be feared of a thing and yet do It.
to what makea the prettiest kind of a
man."—Robert Louis Stevenson.
TF rou have read "Kidnaped" you
remember the quotation. It was
spoken by Alan Breck, after the boy,
r>avld, had stood for a minute terrified,
on the brink of a roaring torrent, and
then, still sick with the fear of It,
leaped across. _
To Alan Breck. the leap meant little.
It required no courage for him to
make It, for he knew very little fear.
But for the boy, who did the thing he
ft'ared as he feared death. It was a
real act of heroism.
The only real courage consists In
doing the thing we are afraid to do.
The hulking prize-fighter of the John
Sullivan type, who has as much Imag-
ination as a grizzly bear, Is not brave.
He Is sure he Is going to win. It takes
no courage to go Into a winning fight.
The bully is never brave. In fact
lie Is always a coward. Feeling sure
that his superior size will carry him
through, he picks quarrels as a pleas-
ant method of passing his time.
Put this same bully Into the ring
with a large hungry tiger, face him
with a man who looks -«s if he enjoya
shooting bullies as much as the bully
enjoys thrashing his physical Inferiors,
and all the courage oozes out of the
bully.
You will never know whether you
are brave or not till you find yourself
In a position wher$ you are afraid to
do something that ought to be done.
If you do It, you have courage.. If
you quit you have not.
Never mistake it physical willing-
ness to take a chance, to attempt somo
dangerous thing, for the kind of cour-
age that counts.
It is not a brave but very foolish
man who walks a tight rope over
Niagara falls. It is a brave man, who
not wanting to die, and knowing that
an operation may send him out of the
world, cheerfully goes to the table, to
take the one chance that may mean his
continued support of his wife or his
dependents.
Often the timid school boy, who
fears to quarrel, and tries his best to
keep bis peace with his fellows, gets
the name of coward. But when this
same boy has to fight for what he
thinks Is his honor, or to save a little
boy from a bully, he becomes a very
dangerous fighter.
Real courage is not daunted by pain.
The boy or the man who fights when
he is afraid to, Btops being afraid of
anything, pain or a black eye, or pun-
ishment. He fights because he has
courage, and he usually wins.
There is more real courage In this
world than you fancy. It Is behind aJI
great achievement. If you have ft
you are fortunate. But don't be sure,
either that you have or that you
haven't it till you have done or refused
to do something you were afraid to do.

HELLO, POPl
HIS photograph! Our Joy and
pride—
The picture of our boy who died!
I seem to hear, 'midst teurs that
drop
Upon Its face, his loving call
Con>e ringing down the darkened halt
To give me greeting: "Hello, Pop!"
It seems but yesterday he died—
But yesterday we stood beside
Ills bed and watched his eyelids
drop
To sleep und wake In endless Jay—
But yesterday 1 heard him say
With dying accents: "(Jood-by,
Pop I"
Last night I dreamed he stood again
With face pressed to the window pane
And watched to see my motor stop;
That when he heard me at the loor
He quickly toddled 'cross the floor.
And met me, shouting: "Hello. Popl"
Sometimes, when daylight fades to
gloom
And ghostly shadows fill the room
I feel again the swelling Joy;
For, from the shadows around about,
I hear once more bis Joyful shout
In boyish tones: "I'm papa's boy!"
When, after death's cold, ch'lly hands
Have loosed the last of earthly bands
And caused life's weary load to drop,
I'll feel it Is supremest Joy
To meet, at heaven's gate, my boy
And hear his welcome: "Hello, Pop!"

THE ROAD TO FAME
tJOW often In your dream& have
you passed over this hard-worn,
densely packed road, reached the goal
and stood there in pride listening to
the enthusiastic cheer of the admiring
throngs around you!
In your youthful days, when new
visions, like beautiful flowers, were
born over night; when hope had not
yet become familiar with dejection;
when to picture an achievement was
to realize Its full accomplishment, you
soared to the hilltops on the sure,
swift wings of an eagle, commanding
the world to kneel at your exalted
presence and do your bidding.

You lifted up your voice and thou-

You girded on your armor and

Every youth has had such dreams.
Every boy has felt himself a king and
ever girl has been his queen!
The dream of honor, glory and fame
Is the dream of every humah being
possessed of high spirit and lofty aim.
It is to this dream some of us turn
