We thought. In America where thou
sands of these horses came from, that
the British army horse led as pre-

During those FIRST months OF war, when
British army agents were buying
horses in the United States. there were
many who honestly believed the Amer

In that inferno Of shell fire.

RUBBER WATER CONNECTIONS
Il 10 Well to Occasionally Inspect Hose
for Distractions - Vibration
May Cause Break.

When cleaning out the radiator 1t
is we'll to occasionally inspect the con-
dition of the rubber hose connections
in the water circulation system, for
distractions not infrequently develop
at these places. If glycerine anti
freezing mixture has been used, or
any kind of radiator dope. the interior
of these rubber connections Is very
likely to be injured, as many Of these
substances so affect rubber that the in
terror surface Of the connection IL
softened and loosened; and the vibra-
tiOn Of the car is liable to cause pieces
of rubber to break away. When this
occurs the loose pieces lodge at the
narrow points in the passages and seri-
ously diminish the flow of the cooling
water. Whenever one of these rubber
connections feels soft and flabby, or
appears to have breaks In the body Of
the tubing, the connection should be
removed and carefully examined and
at the same time the passage should
be tested to see that the flow of water
is not obstructed.-Scientific Ameri.

ton after decoration. War censorship
allowed only the news of his repeated
victories to reach this country, but
since the armistice wonderful tales of
his daring have come across the ocean.
1t is known he has received the Dis
tinguished Service Cross with four oak
leaves, equivalent to five citations: the
French Croix de Guerre. and the dec
Grafton of the Legion Of Honor. He
may have been honored even further,
but those decorations were officially
reported.
Capt. Rickenbacker enlisted early In
1917. His first work after reaching
France was Job as chauffeur to Gen.
Pershing. That proved too slow for
the daredevil of the speedways and he
secured a transfer to aviation. After
completing his course Of instruction in
April, 1918, he won his title Of lace"
in one month by bringing down five
German planes. Then victories came
so fast that "Rickenbacker downs an
other Hun" was headlined In the
papers every little while.

as watch towers and places to which
to go for safety in time of danger. A
good many Of the towers have the
tops broken down, and those which
show the cone tops intact have mostly
been restored. You will notice that
there is no door on the ground, for the
doors were purpOsely built at about
ten or fifteen feet from the ground and
were reached by ladders. After the
people had climbed inside, they drew
their ladders up after them and thus
were out of reach of the Danes who
frequently invaded the country. The
tiny windows of these towers are far
up toward the top. also. About eighty
round towers remain In Ireland, but
only few of them are perfect. Ac-
cording to one authority. they were
probably built between the ninth and
the thirteenth centuries.
During these centuries learning in
Ireland was far in advance of that
known In most northern countries
England. for instance. was far behind
Ireland in educational matters. Over
Ireland there sprang up little religious
settlements. places where men might
go for quiet study and reflection. A

Americas ace Of aces, Capt. 3D.
ward Victor Rickenbacker. is the au-
tomobile mems great hero of the war.
Rickenbacker Is Americas air cham
pion. In the final summing up Of the
aviation records he was officially cred
tied with bringing down twenty-six
German planes.
One story from "over there" relates
that he fred the last shot of the war.
The story states he was flying over
the German lines at 1859 on the
morning Of Nov. II, and that he kept
his hand on the trigger Of his machine
gun for just sixty seconds, driving
Germans helter-skelter until the min
ute was up and the war ended.
Capt. "Rick" was leader Of the Oath
aero pursuit squadron. In a recent
letter he said that on the day the ar
mistice went into effect his squadron
was transferred from the First army
to the Third army, and was the only
pursuit squadron in the American fly
ing service to accompany the Army of
Occupation. This unit was credited
with bringing down sixty-nine German
planes.

Bungalow Solves Problem.
The bungalow goes far toward solv-
ing the problem of home for the
small family of limited means. But,
what Is most important, a bungalow Is
both a comfortable and attractive
home.
The accompanying illustration shows
an exceptional bungalow, both from ex-
terror appearance and interior arrange
ment.
In building a home, place where
one will live for considerable number
Of years, its exterior appearance is i'm
pOrtant. How will 1t fit In with the
other homes on the street, or how will
1t lend itself to its surroundings? Can
1t be made an outstanding home, one
that will be a source OF pride to its
Ownerf
The illustration answers both Of
these questions in favor Of this bun
galow. 1t Is artistic without being
ginger-bready; 1t is comfortable ap
pearing and Is susceptible to having
Its attractiveness enhanced by flower
beds and flower boxes.
The bungalow Is IS by 30 feet. The
terrace extends across 30 feet Of the
frontage and Is feet deep. The slight
arch in the roof over the front en-
trance door breaks the straight roof
line, adding to the attractiveness OF
the building.
A floor plan of this bungalow also
Il shown In the illustration and a study
Of 1t will bring out many points Of in
terest to those who are considering
what type of home they will build.
Living Room. 10 Large.
The front entrance door opens into
the living room, the room that makes
a bungalow such a favOrite. This
room is 10 by 13 feet. an exceptionally
good size, not being too large to de-
tract from the idea Of coziness and not
30 small that there is feeling Of be-
ing shut in. At one end is an open

fireplace, another important bungalow
feature, and on either side of 1t are
low bookcases. with windows above.
Opening of the living room through
wide space between cOlOnnades, Is
the dining room, also Of good size and
equally attractive in its arrangement.
The room is IA by II feet, with an
alcove by 51a feet. the end wall of
which Is formed by windows. How at
tractive this nook may be made can be
imagined by the woman with artistic
tastes. Between the alcOve and the
wall at the rear of the dining room Is
a seat with windows above.
The kitchen, the wOrkroom Of the
home. is designed with view to effi-
cheney. 1t Is 12 by 10 feet, but large
pantry, 6 by 6 feet adds to its con-
venience. In the latter Is work ta-
BILE, five shelves, and space for the ice
box, the latter having an opening to
the back porch so that 1t may be
iced without coming indoors. The
basement stairs open off one corner of
the kitchen.
A T-shaped hall connects the dining
room and the two bedrooms. The front
bedroom is 1914 by 13 feet and has two
windows opening to the terrace and
one at the side, allowing for excellent
ventilation. The rear bedroom has
similar windows, but Is slightly larger
than the front room, being 14a by 10
feet. Between is an unusually large
bathroom for this size house.
Much Closet Space.
Closet space always is feature that
appeals to the hOusekeeper. In this
bungalow, 1t will be noticed, are three
large closets, one off the living room
and one off each Of the bedrooms. The
bathroom, too, has considerable space
that can be so used.
In the hands Of an experienced build
err this design may be changed to suit
the exposure of the house, or to suit
the ideas Of the owner. For instance,
1t will be an easy matter to transpOse
the bedrooms and bath and the living
and dining rooms and kitchen. If the
bungalow should face SO this arrange
ment would be more desirable.
For either city. town or country, a
bungalow of this type will be found
to make a comfortable home, one that
will grow on the owner the longer he
lives in 1t. How cOzy will be the liv-
ing room with the open fire in the win.
ter, and how much comfort can be de-
can easily be imagined.

Bungalows have had an increasing
popularity among home builders dur
ing the last few years. Now, when
there will be large number of new
homes planned and started throughout
the country, they will be exceedingly
popular, for the one good reason that
the owner gets more for his money In
this style of architecture than in the
older type Of twO-stOry houses.
OF course. there are bungalows and
bungalows. Whether they be homes Of
as few as three rooms or those con-
tanning us many as ten. or even more,
they are bungalows just the same. The
word to most minds, however, means
small, conveniently arranged house Of
four or five rooms, six ut the most, all
on the one floor.
Home building has been at stand
still during the last couple Of years,
and the time has come when finding
place in which to live in almost every
community is considerable Of task.
and an expensive proposition, too.
Rents have advanced, and because OF
the law of supply and demand are
rapidly being further increased. The
resumption of building at once, there
fore, Is important, as the demand now
is greater than the supply and the

KEEP HOOD FINISH BRIGHT
About Only Way Of Eliminating Dull
Condition 10 to Line With
Sheet Asbestos.

Many car owners have had the ex.
perience Of having the finish of the
hoods Of their new cars suddenly be-
come dull, while the rest of the car Is
still glistening in its newness. When
the hood finish once gets dull 1t is al.
most impossible to bring back the shine
without reflnishing 1t. The dullness
comes, of course, from the engine heat.
Some owners make the mistake of
washing the hood while 1t is hot, and
this increases the dull effect. About
the only way Of eliminating this con-
dition is to line the hood with sheet
asbestos, which is comparatively cheap.
The work is not difficult and can be
carried out by the owner himself.

It Is possible to cut the little wood

tery BY means Of one Of the trimming
boards that almost any office has. This
board comprises a knife with a ham
die, the forward end Of the knife be-
Ing riveted to the board, SO that 1t

accuracy can be achieved in cutting the
thin slivers of board with this device.
