POINTERS ON HOME BUILDING
Comprehensive Study Of Various De-
signs viii Be Found Helpful to
Prospective Home owners.

The collecting Of clippings from the
real-estate section Of newspapers and
magazines Is a practice recommended
by architects for persons contemplating
building a home. The prospective
home builder can obtain many valu-
able pointers as to the relative style
of house which he prefers and Is able
to compare the advantages of different
designs. He Is then able to explain to
the architect what he wants and the
architect can draw up plans In accord
ance with his wishes.
When saving clippings the client Is
apt to accumulate a lot Of ~irrecOncila-
BILE details which he wants In his house,
but the architect can adapt the prin-
ciples desired to better effect II he
knows what styles and designs are In
the owners mind. The clipping habit
Is usually acquired some time before
the time to build and In the meanwhile
the selective process Is continuing. BY
the time the owner Is financially ready
to build he has made up his mind as
to the details he would like to have
and the things he would rather do
without.
The illustrations In newspapers and
architectural magazines ire valuable
in determining the style of house de.
sired, while the homebuilders' sections
contain many suggestions Of use to
possible builders. The saving Of these
illustrations and suggestions will en-
able one to get a good idea Of what
other builders are doing and keep in
touch with recent developments of In
terest.

In spite of the fact that many peo-
pie are fond Of cats, Il number of
charges are made against this unre-
sponsive domestic animal. II has been
pointed out that they nre carriers of
disease germs and enemies of bird life,
In addition to the old allegation that
they draw the breath Of infants from
the later's lungs.
A new count has been added to the
Indictment. Cats may have been re-
sponsible for fires supposed to be In

GREATLY REDUCES FIRE RISK
Advantage Of Standardizina Fire-Hose
Couplings Quickly Perceived BY
Up-To-0ate Communities

An association was formed In an
Ohio city recently with the idea OF
standardizlng the frehoSe couplings In
the district, and 1t was found that
some OF The odd-Size hose couplings
could be changed to standard at small
expense by means Of taps and dies
furnished free by the inspection bu-
reau. reports Country Gentleman. 1t
also was %ascertained that by means OF
adapters couplings In other cities
could be made; but in some towns the
size was p%rohibitive. Now other CO.
operative associations are being FORM
ed that are reaching out into Penn
~sylyania, Kentucky, Indiana and West
Virginia, and demands for the taps
and dies have come from Texas and
New Jersey.
The cooperative idea not only takes
in the waterworks towns, but also the
smaller places, and the chiefs OF the
several cooperative units have can
vassed their districts so that now they
know not only what equipment to
send in case Of urgent call. but the
available water supply, the state OF the
roads and the construction and char.
acter Of the buildings to be worked up
on. AS most Of the Ohio equipment Is
now motorized, remarkable time Is
made in getting to towns where there
is no fire-fighting equipment ut all but
where a powerful combination chem
zeal truck could handle a blaze salts
factorily. Many Of the chiefs of vol
unteer organizations are now visiting
the headquarters Of the city depart
ments and gaining practical expert
ence at f1rst-hand in actually fighting
fire, in discipline and In care of equip
ment. Towns finding that they can
not have assistance, by reason OF
odd-size couplings, are ordering all
new standard equipment and are, OF
course, changing their MIGRANTS to con-
form to the standard code.
The value Of the city and interurban
cooperative, wheel-within-a-wheel Idea
Is that In many cases the town or rural
equipment would master the fire; but
II it could not, the next nearest large
place could rush the proper parapher
MALTA to the scene, either over good
roads or by special train, either steam
or electric. The idea Of interurban ono
rural protection Is about to take an
other leap forward, and the plan IL
this: Ohio and many other states are
spiderwebbed with trolley lines. suit
able tank cars, carrying chemical
equipment, pumps and 1000 Or more
feet Of hose could be- held In reserve
at terminal points and rushed, day q
night, to the nearest point TO q Are. II
a fire a second lost may make fo'
eternity.

U. S. GIVES OUT
Preferred LIST
OF COAL USERS
Government. Domestic Con-
sumers and War Plants
Will Come First.

WASHINGTON. d. c., June IA
Fuel Administrator Garfield promul-
gated today the plan for coal distribu-
tlon to preferred consumers.
Under this system coal will be sup
piled to meet the full requirements
OF governmental agencies. womestic
consumers and industries essential to
the conduct OF the war, but less es-
sential industries will be compelled
to curtail consumption to the extent
Of the prospective shortage. The pref.
erence classification of consumers fol.
lows:
(a) Railroads.
(b) Army and navy. together with
other departments Of the federal gov.
eminent.
(c) State and county departments
and institutions.
(d) Public utilities.
(e) Retail dealers.
Q) Manufacturing plants on war in.
dustries boards preference list.
tg) Manufacturing plants not on
war industries Boards preference list
Gives State Agents Power.
This plan is designed to define the
responsibility and authority vested in
the Stdlo Iuel administrators LOT the
distribution Of the coal allotted to
their respective states, subject to gen
eral instructions issued from time to
time from Washington" DR.. Garfield
said.
"The war industries board will de-
eide what consumers shall have pref
erence In securing coal; but the
United States fuel administration has
been asked to assist in the compila-
ton OF complete preference lists by
obtaining reports and recommends
tions on individual firms from the
state and local fuel administrators.
THE crux of the new distribution
plan lies in the compilation of these
preference lists. The first six classes
will be given preference in coal ship
ments, in cooperation with the plants
of the war industries board. The dis
tribution OF coal to consumers in the
first two classes will be handled from
Washington. Washington will also SUI
pervise shipments to few vitality i'm.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 12.-Spirited racing and fast time marked the open ing day of the Grand Circuit meeting at the Belmont Driving clubs track at Narberth today. The quality of racing thoroughly satisfied the crowd.
 Two of the three events resulted in split heat races and Tommy Murphy added two first moneys to his win nings with Dlrectum J, and ChilcOOt, but was distanced with ZOmbrino in the 2:07 pace when the black stallion cut himself severely while acting bad ly. Walter Cox won this event with Betsy Hamlin. Flo Stately broke down after finishing second in the first heat and was drawn.
 The 2:04 pace furnished the feature. Murphy landed the first and third heats. Baxter Lou took the second heat and led to the half in the third. but the pace was too fact and Direc- tum won the heat from Hal Boy fin 2:O3 S-4 The 2:O7 trot was a process sion for ChilcOOt.
