EXPLAINS ESSENTIALS
Of THE SMALL GARAGE
Plenty of Windows, Running Water
and Work Bench Should Be
Provided, Says Writer.

The automobile. aside from it's vari-
Gus uses as a vehicle of pleasure and
a revolutionizer Of transportation, has
become such necessity to mankind as
to convice him that 1T is here to stay,
and now provision must be made for its
keeping, says a writer in the Philadel-
phta Public Ledger. Ten years ago not
more than per cent of the suburban
properties contained stable, and there
were many of them costing around the
100000 mark. Today the owners of
houses costing from $4,000 up are often
the proud possessors of automobiles.
and to make provision for their keep
is indeed almost as important as the
housing of the family.
With the necessary space on the rear
of the lot and sufficient width for a
driveway the problem of building a ga
rage is by no means a very serious
one. First of all the best type of ga
rage Is fireproof, which can be built Of
hollow tile and be made very effective
by plastering the exterior walls. The
windows. etc, in this case should be
metal. glazed with wire glass. This type
of construction. of course, means con-
siderable expense.
Where an inexpensive garage il re-
quired the cheapest and most satisfac-
tory construction is frame. The price
is, of course, a variable quantity and
depends principally on the size and
type Of the same.

Things are that way sometimes. They
are so surprising that 1t doesn't seem
that they can be true. Just ask Peter
Rabbit, or little Mrs. Peter. Either one
will tell you that they had hard work
to believe what their eyes saw. YoN see
it was this way: Peter knew that some
where near the dear Old Brier Patch was
the home of Bob White. Anyway. Bob
had said that 1t was near there, and he
himself was never very far away. So
Peter didn't doubt that Bob White had
told him the truth. No one would stay

Many Windows Desirable.

Do not be afraid of putting plenty of
windows in your garage, for light is
very essential. and no matter how
much of it you have you will usually
hnd that the part of the machinery
that needs most attention is in a nice
dark corner. Again the windows should
be run as high up as possible. where
the light will not be INSTRUCTED by the
man at work or the car. The electric
lighting shoult for convenience sake
be controlled from the house as well as
in the garage. Also make provision
for plugs for portable lights, which
you will find absolutely necessary.
The gasoline tank should be placed
underground and at least thirty feet
from the garage. and should be of at
least two-barrel capacity, and provided
with a measuring pump, Of which there
are many good types in the market.
In hitting up the interior do not for
get good stout workbench, with a top
made OF three-tnch oak or yellow pine
A good sized closet for tools. etc. is
also great convenience.
Heating the garage Is another prob
lem. II you cannot carry the service
from the house. then a separate walled
in compartment is the best for safet!
and convenience.
There, are hundreds of other things
In connection with the building of a
garage. but those mentioned are the
essentials. and we hope will help you
IN the construction Of your proposed
building.

Many Designs Available.

There are SO many designs used, from
the portable to the garage that costs as
much as a well furnished house. that it
would be impossible to decide On any
one type as being the correct design
to be used
There are, of course, a number of I'M
portant things to remember in the con-
struction OF any type, viz: the floor
should be cement and the top coat. in
order to prevent cracking, should be
not less than one and one-half inches
thick, and this floor should be laid on
a bed Of four inches of concrete. If
the garage Is of frame construction
the cement floor should be turned up
around the side to the height of six
inches. This will virtually make a
cement pan for holding the water. An
other important point in the construc-
ton Of the floor is to see that the slope
is SUFFICIENT to carry the water to the
drain. which should be located in the
center of the garage. The drain should
be provided with a special garage trap.
which makes cleaning easy and pre-
vents the oil. etc. from filling up the
drain.
A hydrant should be used for the
water supply. which will prevent freez-

Old Registration System.

The papyri OF the Roman period have
conclusively proved that registration
of land already existed in q highly
elaborate form. and that It was iusti-
tuted not only in the interests Of the
state, but also-some think even pri-
marily-in the interests Of private In
dividuals. That point comes out clear
" in an important edict OF q first-cen-
fury project, who ordains that con-
tracts affecting real property were not
to be drawn up without due authorize
ton from the keepers Of the public
archives. These officials had to keep
the registers up to date. entering in
them all mortgages and other charges,
as well as changes Of ownership, and
they were thus enabled to protect an
intending purchaser from oversights
and frauds.-New York Press.

r HE new lingerie blouses and those
j of crepe chiffon. georgette crepe,
crepe de chine and plain or figured
chiffon reflect the ideas embodied In
early French importations. These
early blouses were palmer in design
than we have had for some seasons,
returning to the shirt waist type In
many particulars.
On lingerie waists hand embroidery
is sparingly used, in small, dainty
patterns. Fine tucking and hem.
stitching are featured, long sleeves are
universal, and necks are either high
or opened in "V" at the front, with
small sailor collars or flaring turn
over collars. Sleeves are finished with
cuffs.

in finishing them, that is wonderfully

close-fitting sleeves are nearly always
set in with hem.stitching or open
needlework Of some kind. Small pearl
buttons or crochet buttons fasten
these waists down the front. In q
few models the raglan sleeve is in
evidence. Pique collars and cuffs.

fitting variety, turned back, provide
