1 The world has turned from destruction to reconstruction. Increas
i ed activity and improvement in real estate will bring an increased
need for fire insurance. Greatly advanced replacement cost will
call for larger policies. It is well to be prepared for contingencies,
over which you have no control by placing your business with an
agency whose experience has been gained by more than 25 years
of practical experience.

New Telescopic Type of Ward

MORE ROOM AT LESS COST
Device Is Used In Plans for Modern
Five-Room Bungalow, Designed
to Stand on Narrow
Lot.
By W. A. RADFORD.
Mr. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building, for the readers of this
paper. On account of his wide experience
as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he
is, without doubt, the highest authority
on all these subjects. Address all inquiries
to William A. Radford, No. 1827 Prairie
avenue, Chicago, III., and only enclose
three-cent stamp for reply.
In these times of high prices, every
square foot of the modern house has
to be put to its best use, and if any
scheme can be devised for making one
square foot do the work of two, the
home, builder Is the gainer. AVe are
all keen for holding down building
costs as much as possible, yet home
builders won’t stand for any cutting
down or doing without on home con
veniences. Better and more compact
building is what is wanted.
This Is a challenge that has stirred
the creative ingenuity of manufactur
ers of building appliances. They have
tackled the problem with gusto, and
in many instances have devised some
really worth-while improvements.
Consider, for example, wardrobes or
clothes closets. We all know how
fussy the women folks are about hav
ing lots of clothes closet space. It
seems there can never be quite enough,
no matter how large the house or
apartment may be. And when It
comes to the small flat and the bunga
low, the wall that goes up because of
the little, skimpy closets is heard all
over the land.
Closets Take Up Much Room.
Now, ordinary closets take up an
astonishing amount of good space.
Look at some floor plans, and it
seems as if almost half the space is
given over to dark closets. This, of
course, cuts down the size of the
useful rooms.
There is this queer thing about
clothes closets, too. The only part of
them that is used IS the wall space.
ValuaBle squares of floor surface are
fenced off just to provide wall space
for hanging up garments.
The new telescopic type of ward
robe solves this clothes closet prob- j
lem in the logical way. It is an idea'
that is just coming into use in resi
dences, hotels, office buildings, apart
ments, etc. In designing the bunga
low illustrated here, four of these new
telescopic fixture wardrobes are pro
vided for. One is in the front vesti
bule for coats and hats; two double
wardrobes are provided in the front
bedroom, and one double wardrobe in
the rear bedroom. Notice the small
amount of space these require. They
are only 20 inches deep and each sin
gle unit two feet wide; yet each ward
robe containing four square feet of
floor space will accommodate from
eight to sixteen suits or gowns * (if
anyone has that many). An old-style
closet to give the same amount of
hang-up space would require at least
70 lineal feet of inside walls, which
means a closet 4 by 6 feet on the
floor.

how hese wardrobes are arranged. A
metal carrier, nickel-finished, is hong

ordinary closet hook. At the bottom
of each wardrobe is a broad drawer
for shoes, etc. The fixtures required
are inexpensive—can be freely used
in both new and old buildings.
The use of the improved wardrobes
In designing this little bungalow
shows how architects and builders are
helped out of tight places very often
by using these space-saving ward
robes. This bungalow was to go on a
■ narrow city lot and so had to be kept
down to a width of 24 feet. Ample
wardrobe space was required, yet
there was no room for ordinary
clothes closets. The space-saving
wardrobes were provided, and it turns
out that they not only do the work
much better, but actually save from
$200 to $300 in the cost of the house.
Even Old Shoes Have Value.
The old boots and shoes that are
i cast into the dustbin have considera
ble value. They are soaked in water
; to remove the dirt, and all the nails
' and threads are picked out and the
i leather is reduced to a thick pulp,
' from which wall papers, screens, etc.,
are made. The finer the original qual
ity of leather the better it takes the
bronze and old gold of the designs
which make these hangings things of
beauty. Bookbinders and framemak
ers also know the value of this pulp,
and carriage builders press it into
sheets which are invaluable for the
roofs of the most luxurious vehicles.
Quicksilver in Arizona.
The present exceptional demand for
quicksilver in the manufacture of ful
minate gives the domestic deposits of
this metal particular interest. De
posits recently discovered in the south
erly part of the Phoenix mountains,
ten miles northeast of Phoenix, Ariz.,
are described in a short paper pre
pared by F. C. Schrader, published by
the United States geological sOrvey.
The deposits are easy of access, and,
being near the rich agricultural region
of Salt River valley, are otherwise fa
vorably situated for mining. They are
being exploited on six or more proper
ties or groups of claims, which lie in
a belt, about three miles wide.
