In striving for something different"
some people are led into strange situa-
tons quite often. This is a thing to be
avoided by the average man in plan
ming his home. He must have charac-
ter In his house, but let that character
be something which will endure to be
admired many years after it was orig
mated. Freak O"rnamentatiOn is all
right in its place, but its purpose
Should be to attract attention not to
stimulate admiration.
Because the bungalow type of house
Is especially adapted to it, there may
be more ornamentation worked into its
design than could safely be used on
some of the other types Of houses.
Furthermore, COMMON practice has es-
tablished the ornamented bungalow as
a structure which Is seen wherever
there are bungalows. The warning
should consist not so much in the ma
ture of a denunciatiOn of ornamental
ton in general as it should be a rec
ommendation of the simple methods of
OrnamentatiOn.
Occasionally the searcher. after
fancy effects Is startled to find that
the most simple designs have the
strongest appeal. There is really moth
ing strange about this fact, for it Is
true of almost every matter in which
general popular taste has an influence.
The evidence Of quality, expressed in
simple dignity, is the strongest and
most lasting manner in which to build
character into any structure.
The matter of cost is one which the |
average man must give careful con-

and the requisite repair shops. A con-
siderable number Of men qualified as
foremen in and superintendent of
shops are needed by the army as truck
masters with motor companies. A large
number of chauffeurs and mechanics
must be listed. The s. A. Il. members,
from their wide and intimate connec.
tion with the automobile industry, will
be able to provide from men employed
by them, or of whom they know, ade.
quate lists Of the last-named -four
classes of men.
In general, the s. A. f. members will
serve as authorities in the design of
engines, in metallurgy, electrical en-.
cheering, development of starting and
lighting systems for |aeronautic work,
searchlight signaling, adaptation of
wireless equipment to a%irplanes, and
conducting supply depots and parts
service stations. Prompt movement of
truck trains, without delay caused by
a single breakdown, Is essential in mil.
itary transport.

in order that his work may live to
serve its full purpose, that he take con-
sideratiOn of two things: first, that he
insist upon a degree of quality mate
rails and workmanship which will as
sure the length Of life which he wishes
to obtain for the structure; second.
that he insists upon an architectural
style In the design of the structure
which will be as nearly as possible in
keeping with prevailing practice dur
ing this period of utility of the struc-
ture.
The first of these two requirements
may be fulfilled by his stating definite
ly his desires in the matter Of speci-
fications to the architect and by the
careful selection of a contractor to do
the work, who has established a repu-
tation for high-quality work. The Sec
ond requirement is largely up to the
architect, but he may be greatly aided
by his client If the latter has formed
q workable idea as to the general char
acteristics of the building he desires.

load and low air pressure means rim
cutting and excessive action to the rub
Der and fabrics. The solution of this
problem should receive the careful
thought of every car owner. Before
he can handle it with efficiency and sat
isfactiOn, he must be equipped to com
mand the pressure he wants and to
know what he has, Where the owner
has to depend on a hand pump, his
tires are usually neglected. This year
with the high price of brass, most of
the hand-pumps are made Of steel tub
ing, which retains the heat of compress
sion, gives greater friction to the leath-
ers, and will not last as well al the
brass pumps of two years ago.
1t is real economy, to say nothing of
the convenience, to be. equipped with a
motor-driven tire pump. Not only will

True Tact.

True tact requires keen sympathy I;
a ready appreciation of the other fell
lows point of view; an intuitive read
ing of human nature; a well-controlled
temper; a mouth like a clam. These
virtues are not picked off every hedge
row, but are part of the golden fruit
which grows in the garden of disci-
pline, watered by experience, and
brought to perfection by se%lf-control.-

a $40 motor-tire pump outlast $40
worth of hand-pumps, but it makes it
so convenient to get air when you
need it, that n does not neglect the
r of his tires. Tire value is gagged
by the number of miles the tire runs.
The number of miles depends largely
on the air pressure.
A properly inflated tire is almost de-
void of action except where it strikes
an obstruction in the road, then the
resilient air throughout the tire swal-
lows the shock as in Fig. l..

Rouohaue for Cow.

Under most circumstances the COW
should be fed all the roughage she
will eat up clean, adjusting the grain
ration to the milk production. Only
when the COW tends to become overfat
should the quantity of roughage be
cut down.

Wireless Phone for Autos.

1t is now possible for motorists
contemplating trips far from human
habitation to journey so equipped that
they may call for help in time of trou-

their calls will be heard, according to
a writer in the current number of
American Motorist. This can be ac-
complished by use of a wireless tele-
phone invented for use on automo-
biles, and which al be operated while
the car is at a standstill or travelling
or so miles an hour.

Chains Cut Down MILEAGE.

A pair of tires on the rear of the
car, run with chains on them, will de-
liver less mileage. 1t is almost safe to
say that a tire will only deliver half
the mileage it should, if operated with
chains to any great extent.
