Although building costs are ris-

ing in the U. s. it is still possible to build a staunch and comfortable small home on a limited budget if rensonnlble care is exercised in the preparation of the plan and choice of materials, according to a. bulle- tin issued by Howard Leland Smith, chief architect of the Fed- eral Housing Administration.

Here are the seven rules he of-

Old Bath Room

Through Inodemizetion, 1. small square bath room became a. colour- ful place and the pride of the household. Walls were tiled a. lit- tle more than half wary up. White tile was used with e. wide black border et the wp. Washable paper covered the remainder with a design of turquoise, yellow, orange and brovm.AIB`a»ck linoleum was used as floor covering.

Indirect lighting fixtures were

placed at either side of the medl- cine cabinet, affording adequate light for make up or shaving. Two nearby outlets provided current for curling irons or other equipment.

Waterproof curtains were pur-

chased ror the window and shower. An orange chenille rug with brown and white tones covered the floor and yellow towels with brown md white, stripes hung from the glass towel racks.

Funds for remodeling bathrooms

may be obtained from any bank under the Horns Improvement Plan, which is being sponsored by the Dominion Government.

fixtures become stained o greenish gray it means they are becoming affected by age and dampness, which causes the plating to disap-

neath to corrode. The stains ca
