House Designs Today
' . Planned by Architect
5 Instead of Carpenter

“The greatest change in American architecture
in the last few years," said Prof. Harry 8. Bill
when asked recently about the improvement in
the design of houses in the United States, “is
the recognition on the part of the builder that
he must employ the services of an architect.
Up until ten years ago. or even five years ago,
when a man wished to build a house. he went
to a cnxpenter and asked hiin to draw the plans.
If he wanted a suit of clothes that he expected
to last him six or eight months he went to an
expert and had it made, but if he were building
a house, which would last a lifetime, he did not
consult an expert.”

The attention of such magazines as the Ladies
Home Journal, Good Housekeeping, and others
to the problems of house-planning largely
brought the home-builder to the realization that
he needs the services of an architect, Mr. Bill
thinks. .

“As to the prevailing style in architecture.
it can be no better than the prevailing popular
taste," Mr. Bill conthtued. “The architect must
be guided by the preferences of the persons for
wbom he designs. Formerly the kitchen was the
most neglected part of the house in the plan-
ning. This was partly because women
more conservative than men, partly because wom-
en hatr housework, and what they hate they
refuse to give much thought to.

“The one specification about the kitchen used

amount of floor space. Now that servants are
hard t_9 get and women must do their own

@-

 

uarters are provided for the servants.

“The large dining-room is no longer necessary.
If you entertain at dinner, you usually hs've two
couples, besides youralres, making six persons to
be seated. If you have more, you take them to
the club or restaurant. It is much easier. And
people can well afford to do it, for heretofore
they were paying rental on space that was used
but three or four times a 'year. Another reason
is that families are smaller—-the family of four
is considered large.

“Indeed the dining-room is often being elim-
inated today. In the typical apartment in New

"As to materials,” Hr. Bill said, “houses are
now built of more durable materials, because of

T the usirg up of the good soft pine. Brick and

tile have taken the place of it. Columbia is un-
usually fortunate for a town of its size in this
respect. Good brick building material is made
here and hollow tile. There is a good grade of
building stone. Columbia could be self-support
ing so far as building msteriss go. .

“In the matter of interiors, never before was
it possible to get as good, as beautiful, furniture
as‘ now. And it is cheap. The period from 1860

Especially. Most of this period was the ‘golden
oak’ age.

“The tendency is to do away with the base-
ment as much as possible. In city houses, often
the basement includes nothing more than the
oil burner. You see articles sometimes urging

*DIFFICULTIES or CHICKEN-
RAISING ARE DISCUSSED

“A chickenh life is one continual fight against
disease and parasites from the time of its birth
until it dies,” said Dr. Andrew Uren. instructor
in veterinary science in the University, who is
also in charge of diagnosing poultry diseases.

During the last year 450 cases of poultry dis-
ease were diagnosed and post-mortem examina-
tions held on chickens sent from all parts of Mis-
souri by Dr. Uren. The service is offered free
to fsrmersland poultry raiser: in the state and
while every, case is not run completely down, due
to the prohibitive cost, the most common diseases
are discovered and a course of treatment is rec-
ommended iby the"poultry department.

Last y A . Uren made 10.000 tests on
chickens’ blood samples co determine the preval-
ence of bacillary white diarrhoea which is the
most common and destructive enemy of chickens,
not only in this state, but other poultry raising
states. Whine diarrhoea will kill from fifty to
one hundred per cent of a flock as it attacks the
young chicks while they are still in the egg and
the one infected chick may infest the rest of the
brood a few days after hatching. White diarr-
hoea is one of the few poultry diseases that -are
passed from the adult hen to the chick through
infected eggs. Young chicks may also become
infected with it by beiu placed in infected
lg:-:o‘od;ors and it is a chronic disease among adult

l . l

The only cure for bacillaty white diarrhoea.
according to Dr. tires, is the elimination

infected birds from the flock by blood tests. The '

infected birds may be disposed of by selling them
on the market, for, like other poultry diseases,

Many women in these days of taxicabs will

tunic shaped like an umbrella of Irish lace.

Missouri flocks was mistaken for the European
