WOBBLlNG WHEELS.

1t is wise to make an occasional eX-
animation of the front wheels to see
whether they are webbing. This may
be done by lacking up each wheel and
revolving it and walking away a few
feet to see if it wobbles as it revolvcs,
BY having someone else drive the car
the owner can very quickly see If the
wheels are shaking by taking his stand
q short distance down the street
Sometimes the wheel itself may run
true, but the rim and tire may be in
correctly mounted so as to give the
impression that the whole wheel is
webbing.

u. S. CONsULS SHOULD
. KNOW FOREIGN TRADE
Make Them Commercial Am
bassadors,' Says Detroit
Salesman, If We Are to Els
tablish Ourselves in Foreign
Lands"
Commercialize the consulates.

Commercialize the consulates.
r. G. Willems, of Detroit, who has
visited practically every country on the
face of the earth in the interests OF
large manufacturers, makes this sug-
gestion as one of The most important
steps toward Il great and permanent
extension of Americas foreign trade
AT first glance the phrase, COM
mel cialize the consulates' may seem
somewhat harsh said Mr. Wilems
but, as analysis should prove, the un :
DERIVING thought can hardly be re-
garded as offensive even to the most
sensitive mind-at any rate not to /,
mind interested in establishing mar
kcts for United States goods abroad.
My idea is that Americas foreign
consuls should be selected with as
much consideration for their ability to
handle affairs of commerce as for theli
ability to handle formal affairs OF
state. They should, in fact, be re-
garded as commercial ambassadors.
The salaries paid such consuls
should be sufficient to attract more
men of business ability. men interest
ed at heart in Americas tremendous
opportunity to establish herself more
securely in the foreign markets. Sufti-
cient funds should be provided tho
consulates to enable them to procure
more detailed data and disseminate
information which would strengthen
our position with foreign buyers. There
are many good men in the consulates
today but they are handicapped"
Mr. Willems, who is foreign sales
representative of Dodge Brothers, also
lays great emphasis on the necessity
for some tangible governmental pro
gram for the merchant marine.
There has been a splendid begin
ming" he said, "and we now have more
ships than ever before. But the ques-
tor of manning our fleets and operat-
ing them in competition with the fleets
of other nations is most important
one. | am wondering how We shall
compete successfully against the So
called cody crews with their wages
of keep and a few cents a day We
must maintain our great fleet, and we
must pay our crews, but we must also
be able to offer cargo space at rea-
sonable rate. 1t appears highly prob
able that a government subsidy will be
necessary to put this competition on
a reasonable basis.
IT am greatly encouraged by the at
titude of some of our largest American
banking institutions. Our success
abroad will always be limited until we
have American banking facilities III
every foreign market center. Judging
from present indications we have every
reason to look forward to this as a
reality rather than a vague nope OF
the far distant future"
Compulsory teaching of Spanish IN
the public schools, Mr.. Willems be
lieVes would be an ideal method of
training the younger generation to car
nv on the broader foreign relations
now being undertaken by the Amerl-
can people.
spanish is not at all difficult to
learn" he said, and after it has beer
mastered, French comes with com
narrative ease. Children should be I'm
messed with the fact that their whole
destiny may lie in knowledge %

LEAKS IN FLOAT

An excellent way to locate suspected
leaks in the carburetor float is to i'm
merse the part in hot water. In this
way any gasoline in the interior will be
vaporized and will force its way out of
the hole, which may be located by
watching for the bubbles to rise. The
float should, of course, be removed
from the water the instant the bubbles
cease rising.

Bungalows have had an increasing
popularity among home builders dur
ing the last few years. Now, when
there will be a 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

as few as three rooms or those con-

they are bungalows just the same. The

the ideas of the owner For instance
it 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 comfortable home, one that
will grow on the owner the longer he
lives in it. How coy will be the liv-
ing room with the open fire in the win
ter, and how much comfort can be de-
rived from the terrace in the summer
can easily be imagined.
A bungalow home, built from this
design will meet the needs of the fam
lily that wants pretty, comfortable,
convenient house-one that will not be
very costly to build. And when it is
finished and the owner has moved in
the family will feel justifably proud of
their new bungalow >home-''a home Of
our own"

line, adding to the attractiveness of
the building
A floor plan of this bungalow also
is shown in the illustration and a study
of it will bring out many points of in
tereSt to those who are considering
what type of home they will build.
Living Room Is Large.
The front entrance door opens into
the living room, the room that makes
a bungalow such a favorite. This
room is 10 by Ii feet, an exceptionally
good size, not being too large to de-
tract from the idea of coziness and not
so 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 it are
low bookcases with windows above.
Opening off the living room through
a wide space between colonnades, is
the dining room, also of good size and
equally attractive in it's arrangement.
The room is IA by IL feet, with an
alcove 4 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
seat with windows above.
The kitchen, the workroOm of the
home, is designed with a view to eff
cheney. It is II by 10 feet, but large
pantry, by 6 feet adds to it's con-
venience. In the latter is work ia
bic, i've shelves, and space for the ice
box, the latter having an opening to
the back porch so that it may be
iced without coming indoors. The
basement stairs open off one corner OF
the Kitchen.
A Tshaped hall connects the dining
room and the two bedrooms. The front
bedroom is 1912 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 1414 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, it 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

Bungalow Solves Problem
The bungalow goes far toward solv-
ing the problem of a 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 home, a place where
one will live for considerable number
of years, it's exterior appearance is i'm
portant. How will it fit in with the
other homes on the street, or how will
it lend itself to it's surroundings? Can
it be made an outstanding home, one
that will be a source of pride to it's
owner?
The illustration answers both Of
these questions in favor of this bum
galow. 1t is artistic without being
ginger-bready; it is comfortable ap-
pearing and is susceptible to having
it's attractiveness enhanced by flower
beds and flower boxes.
The bungalow is 35 by SO feet. The
terrace extends across 80 feet of the
frontage and is Z feet deep. The slight

trance door breaks the straight roof
