 In the bungalow, more t.Ian in a1y other type of house, there Is the pos sibility of producing effects which will meet the desire of person whose mind Is definitely set upon some novel fea- ture which is to predomiEate through put the scheme of architecture en- ployed In the house design. There is such an endless array 0: little tricks which may be brought into play for the purpose of establishing distinctive ness in each particular bungalow de sign that it is a radical mind which cannot find satisfaction in one of the many combinations of details which are at the disposal of the designer.

Car Shortage Breaks r ecord;
Due to Prosperity Wave

The Railway Age Gazette, in an
editorial in its current issue, publishes
statistics showing that the shortage of
freight cars on the first of October of
this years was the greatest that ever
existed on that date; but from an
alysis of the American Railway Asso-
citation for the last ten years it finds
that the peculiar conditions existing
this year are such as to warrant an
optimistic view of the situation. The
net shortage as reported for September
Both is 6l,030 cars, distributed about
proportionatcly to their numbers
among all classes. The Gazette says;
"a feature which differentiates the
present shortage from those that have
occurred in previous years is brought
out by a comparison of the present
shortage by classes of cars with the
shortage of 1907. On October ., 1917,
there was net shortage of all classes
of freight cars, and the aggregate net
shortage was within 5000 of the ag-
grcgatc net shortage on September 30,
1916. In 1907, however, of a total
shortage of 5S,276 ears, 43, 1876 of the
total were box cars. I'm 1916 the total
net shortage of 81 ,030 ears includes
only 33,Ol6 box cars. The other prin-
cipal component of the total is a net
shortage of 1882 coal cars and gon-
dolas.
