POINTERS ON HOME BUILDING
signs Will Be Found Helpful to
Prospective Home Owners.

The collecting Of clippings from the
magazines is a practice recommended
by architects for persons contemplating
building 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 lot of irreConclla-
Bile details which he wants in his house,
but the architect can adapt the prin-
ciples desired to better effect If 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 az
to the details he would like to have
and the things he would rather DO
without.
The Illustrations in newspapers and
architectural magazines are valuable
in determining the style Of house de-
sired while the homebuldors' sections
contain many suggestions of use to
possible builders. The saving Of these
Illustrations and suggestions wilP EN-,
able one to get a good idea of What
other builders are doing and keep in
touch with recent developments of In
terest.

GREATLY REDUCES FIRE RISK
Advantage of Standardizing Fire-Hose
Couplings Quickly Perceived by
Up-To-Date Communities.

An association was formed in an
Ohio city recently with the idea OF
standardizing the firehOse couplings in
the district, and it 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. II
also was ascertained that by means OF
adapters couplings in other cities
could be made; but in some towns the
size was prohibitive. Now other Co
operative associations are being form
ed that are reaching out into Penn
sylvania, 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-fghting equipment at all but
where powerful combination chem
ical 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 frst-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 hydrants to con-
| form to the standard code.
The value of the city and interurban
cooperative, wheel ithin-a-wheel idea
| Is that in many cases the town or rural
equipment would master the fire; but
if 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 and
rural protection is about to take an
other leap forward, and the plan Is
this: Ohio and many other states are
spiderwebbed with trolley lines, Suit
able tank ears, carrying chemical
equipment, pumps ana 1000 or more
feet of hose could he held in reserve
at terminal points and rushed, day or
night, to the nearest point to fire. In
a fire a second lost may make for
eternity.

Can Overcome camoufaae.

An American physicist believes that
the advantages of camOufage-or at
least certain kinds of camOuhage-
can be overcome by an opposing army
by providing its airmen and other
scouts With colored glasses or screens
Of contrasting colors to use with field
glasses, states Popular Mechanics Mag
aZine. When the cOlors of these
screen are properly selected uniforms
and other objects may be made to ap-
pear in contrast, instead of in har-
mony, with their surroundings, he
claims. Camou6age as practlced in
many cases is accomplished largely by
the use of paint objects being given
shades that blend with the landscape.
In spite of certain difficulties that
would arise, it Is believed that such
efforts at concealment could be render
ed quite Intellectual by the means
stated.

how to make comfort kits and other
