Flint, postmaster Of Los Angeles, de-
livered the first of a series of talks to
business men OF Pasadena today at a
luncheon served in the Maryland hotel,
his subject being What a Business
Man Should Know About the Postal
Service"
Complete addresses, return in five
days" notices, and the address of the
senders on all envelopes are points
which ne urged as of great aid to the
service.
The parcels post he touched on lightly
and did not speak strongly in it's favor.
He did, however, voice his approval of
a local parcels post, to be run on rural
routes from each city, and thought this
plan, which is favored by the postmas-
ter general, would be adopted by the
next congress.
There were about seventy-five men at
the luncheon, which was served from

FISHER ANNEX ON PIER TO

LONG BEACH. Nov. ia compro-

Carter and the city whereby the Fish
er annex on the pier will be given up
by Mr.. Carter. The building will then
be torn down. Carter has been offered
another concession in the shape of
quarters at the northwest corner of

The only hindrance to the compile
ton of the deal seems to be the terms
exacted by A. Marengo, who has a
French restaurant on the lower floor
of the building. Marengo has a lease
from Carter, and refuses to give it up
unless Carter pays him for it.

You can have as many clothes

In designing this little house the
cost has been kept down as much as
possible by making it very plain and
leaving out all unnecessary furbelows
that cost extra without giving proper
tionate returns.
Such houses are very much in de-
mand on large farms. If farmers would
build houses like this and place them
in nice locations near the highways
they would have less difficulty in Sc
curing good farm help. One reason
why men object to farm work is that
their living accommodations usually
are about a hundred years behind the
times. Shis is unnecessary. 1t is
time for farming communities to wake

A small story and a half or cottage
house of five rooms is shown in this
plan. 1t is % feet six inches wide by
80 feet in length, and may be built
with or without a cellar or plumbing
However, at the time of building. a
cellar under small house like this
does not cost great deal and no
modern house these days should be
built without water and gas pipes and
electric wireing.
Gas is being carried in pipes along
thickly settled roads in the country
Almost every village having an enter
prising population has gas plant and
many country homes have private
plants of their own. Improvements in
the manufacture of gas have gone
ahead so rapidly of late that it is not
necessary for any person, no matter
how remote from large cities, to do
without this wonderful modern con-
venience in housekeeping
You can have a good satisfactory
water supply both upstairs and down
by simply putting good force pump
in the well. or cistern, with little
piping and with tank sufficient for a
days supply. You can have a more
elaborate system for more money, but
the point I wish to make is that no one
need do without water supply under
pressure if they really want it.
Such houses as this may be built
for very little money. 1t is difficult to
estimate for different localities be-
cause prices vary more than half, but
l have known just such houses to be
built for $1,000 and finished up in a
way entirely satisfactory to the owner
You can make it as more elaborate as
you want to, but generally the object
in building small house is to make
