Glass of the variety that is full
Iof waves and streaks.
A fireplace of ordinary brick,
conventional design.
It can readily be seen that the
idea of these things was to save
money. We wanted to save
money, all right. but we began to
realize then that to save money
is one thing and to build the kind
of home you want is another.
We wanted hardwood floors,
not fir. We wanted oak wood
work in the principal rooms, not
fir with knot holes in 1t. We
wanted a basement and an attic,
and some way of heating the
house. and some plate glass in the
Windows that would show from
the street.
SO we took the matter before
the building superintendent of the
real estate firm that was willing
to sell us our corner lot. Let us

Through all your vagaries, and
who anticipates your wishes, and
thinks of things you forget, and
cuts needless corners of expense,
think yourself lucky. We found
such a man.
We showed the plans to Carter.
"Can we have all the things we
want and stay anywhere near
$2100?" / asked him.
| Carter is careful. He volun-
teered to take the plans home and
think about it over night. Next
day he said:
"You can't build that house for
$4,000. 1t would cost nearer
$4,000. It's too much house to
build for anything less. 1t covers
32x50 feet. You would need 49,
900 shingles for the side walls, to
say nothing of the roof. That's
just an example"

Carter, that you can eliminate
something or change something so
you can cut down the COST"
"I'll try" he volunteered,
hopefully. But you'll find that
it's cheaper to build a two-story
house of moderate size than to
build a bungalow"
He showed me plans for a two
story cottage. l took them home
and showed them to my wife. We
kept right on wanting the bunga-

the outside stone chimney, and
the low, broad roof.
What If we could build the two
story cottage for $4,000? When
you want pie, you want PIE, not
cake.

he could cut off every item of un-
necessary expense and still give us

Lake Tchad, also written Chad and
Tsad, in the Soudan, Africa, lao miles
long, is supposed to have been known
to Ptolemy 283 B. c. and is supposed
to be the Lake Kura of the middle
ages. In modern times it was discov-
cred by an expedition led by Dixon
Denham. an English explorer, Hugh
Clapperton and Quincy, which in 1928,
while exploring northern and central
Africa, came upon this lake. 1t was
subsequently, explored by DR.. Nachtin-

account is published in Narratives
