A large and lanky recruit drifted into
the National Guard armory to give his
service to his country. After he had
gone through the necessary examina-
ton as to his age, parents, constitu-
tional ability to walk through seas of
mud. the color of his hair and eyes and
locality of tattoo marks and other pre-
liminaries to a military career, the ex-
aiming surgeon took up a stethoscope
and began listening to the recruit s
heart. lungs, etc.
This was new experience for the
boy. He had never seen a man with a
stethoscope before, and had the i'm
preston the doctor was deaf and that
the stethoscope was a pair of ear
trumpets
Consequently. when the medical man
said:
Ever have any consumption In your
family?' the rookie picked up the end
of the stethoscope dangling in front of
the physician, and yelled into it as
loud as he could: No"
The doctor jumped foot. A stetho-
scope Is extremely delicate. and a roar
like that nearly splits the ear drums

Exact knowledge Possible.
When man sets out to buy scent
loaf of bread he gets loaf of bread
for ) cents. When he sets out to build
good reasons why he should not be
a ble to build it for that amount.
The man who is going to build
should definitely know two things:
First: Exactly what he is going to
get for the price he expects to pay.
Second: The outside limit of cost for
the completed structure.
To demand these safeguards is per-
fectly fair and natural. In every phase
of business today, except building, one
knows in advance just what the cost
of any specified piece of work will be.
In a building operation. as ordinarily
conducted. no one participant is in a
position to guarantee the work of all
participants. The responsibility of the
various contractors who execute diff
ferent portions of the work is individ-
ual: the. responsibility of each ends
no one of them is in a position to guar
antee anything beyond his own share
or detail of the whole operation.
Overlooks Adequate Guarantee.
Usually the owner proceeds without
adequate guarantee of the limit cost;
he does not protect himself against err
rors in plans, specifications and esti-
mates. If the discovery of errors ne
cessitates extra charge later he must
pay them; if such errors go undetected
his building may be defective and he
may suffer for its diminished plans and
specifications are sighted in execution;
if mismanagement occurs, if the build
ing is not ready to earn income when
expected. he must suffer loss.
watch. an automobile, an engine
or printing press consist of hundreds
of parts, assembled. adjusted and har
moniZed, by a single responsibility, to
produce the finest unit. the maximum
of effectiveness in every phase at the
minimum of cost. 1t is the same with
building. All the separate
branches and processes of build
ing operation require similar assem-
bling, adjustment and harmoniZing. A
building is to be considered build
ing. in its truest sense, only when it is
complete in every detail, ready for oc-
cupancy. in perfect order to answer all
the needs and to fulfil perfectly the
purposes for which it was designed. A
building operation may be considered
successful when seven essential ele-
mentS join to that end in perfect har-
mony.
The all important units which COM
bine to constitute the total of a magic

furnishing. appearance, cost, stability

chitectual plans is merely the first step
the construction is second; equipment

final unity. They must he considered
together in the beginning. prior to the
time of actual work
Nothing concerning a contemplated
building should be definitely decided
until all things concerning it are ready

pendlture on one part and adequate ex-
pendfture on another work should not
be begun until all features are brought
into proper relation.
