Iron and Steel Review

Cleveland, September 4-(Special) Diminished importance is ascribed to labor factor in iron and steel trade con- dllons as result of weeks develop ments while at no time has rank and file of producers or consumers permit ted themselves to entertain serious mis- glvlngs over general strike threats acute stage for even partial dislocation of output is believed to have been passed manifestly. the more radical elements in union circles have been forced to yield to wiser counsel, after having attempted to paint for public consumption some absurd and untruth- full pictures of working conditions in the industry. Plant operations as re- spects labor disturbances are more nearly normal than they have been in weeks. Producers nevertheless are being bothered in some degree by a shortage around 70 to so per cent be- ing held down by the sluggish mar ket in railroad materials and plates

Mr.. William A. Radford will answer

The mar who builds Il home for
himself and his family does not build
a house that twill do" Ordinarily the
house he puts up will provide him and
the other members of his family with
n home for Il great many years. OF
course, the fOreslghted man Will not
build such an out-of-the-ordinary house
that 1t will not be readily salable, but
he will put into his home the conven-
fences and comforts that he wants.
Because of these facts the selection
of the design for the new home Is an
important matter. 1t Is one of the
things that should be given careful
thought and everything that bears on
II siiouiu NC, Soiioiu'itu btioit the Ut
sign finally is liked upon. And right
here let 1t be said that the local archi-
tect, the contractor and the material
man all can give valuable advice at
this stage of the project. They have
had a great deal Of experience In de-
signing and building homes and they
know the mistakes others have made
and how to avoid them.
To many men a garage is an essen
tial building. They want places where

the house being through the latter.
The porch is IA by 10 feet, and the
sun parlor the same size.
On the first floor are four rooms, liv-
ing room, dining room, kitchen and
den, the latter being on the same cor
ner Of the house as the garage. The
living room is Of the size and shape
that is popular with present-day home
builders. Its dimensions r 80 by 10
feet, and is a light and pleasant room.
II is open on three sides and Is plen-
tifully supplied with wspdows. while
at the end is a large open fireplace.

arated from the front room by a hall
out Of which opens the stairs to the
basement. The dining Is 20 by

from the floor plan that all the rooms

before. Rents have been advanced
materially. At the same time the cost
Of building has not kept pace with the
Increase I'm incomes and rents. These
are causes that have determined many
thousands to build homes of their own.
Economically home owning Is a great
asset. The man who owns his home
Is looked upon as n stable, prosperous
and thrifty member OF the community.
To him cOmes opportunities that pass
by the man who rents. With all other
things equal. the astute employer nj
ways gives preference to the home
owner when m opportunity for adj
vancement m He knows that the
man who owns his home Will stay, ana
Is not so sure OF the other fellow who
has no ties TO keep him on the Job.
Aside from the patriotic motives that
the government Is urging to Induce
people to build homes so as to furnish
employment for labor, there Is every
selfish reason why everyone who pos
sibly can should build a home this
year. They are the persons who will
profit In the end.

An extension conference travelling in
automobiles Is an idea from the West.
At the close of the annual meeting
of the California experiment station at
Davis and the agricultural college at
Berkeley, the agents from "a counties
and the assistant agents, the county
agent leader and his assistants were
Joined by 81 farmer delegates repre-
senting the county farm bureaus of
the state. The entire party, compris-
ing 151 people, spent seven days trav-
cling by automobile from Berkeley to
Riverside. The delegation passed
through IL counties, 8 of which have
farm bureaus and 8 Of which have
resident county agents. In counties
having agents. the agents occupied the
leading car and conducted the party
to interesting demonstration work.
Short stops were made at which the
county agent or the farmer on whose
ranch the demonstration was being
conducted. explained the method and
results.
Some Things Seen.
Noteworthy things seer were poul-
try and bee demonstration work at
Santa Cruz, stock judging at Salinas
and Lankershim, the Jim Jeffries and
Lucky" Baldwin ranches In Los An
geles county, fire-fighting apparatus at
Santa Paula, seed-bed preparation at
the Camarillo ranch. pruning of april
cot trees, citrus pruning. the artesian
well and drainage project in Orange
county. spraying demonstration in wal
nut orchard, ci%trus-bud selection, and
poultry culling.
Meetings were held each night at the
farm bureau center I'm the county the
party was visiting. The resident coun-
ty agent explained in detail the work
under way in the county and farm
bureau members discussed subjects

they can house their automobiles,
where they will be available at all
times and where they can do such
work on the machines as Is necessary
to keep them in good running order.
Home With Garage.
The home shown In the accompany
Ing design combines the modern home
with a modern garage. 1t is a seven
room stuccO house, with an exception
ally attractive exterior and an Interior
room arrangement that Will appeal to
everyone who wants the many conven-
fences and comforts the modern home
contains.
The dimensions of this house are "a
by 40 feet @ inches, exclusive Of the
front porch and sur parlor projection.
The artistic sweep Of roof on the house
itself, the dormer window projection
which breaks the roof line and the
pergola-like ROOF over the porch and
sun parlor all combine to give this
house an unusual and attractive exte-
rior appearance. The same architec-
tural design is carried out In the ga
rage, which is 10 by IL feet, attached
to a rear corner OF the house.

In which they were interested. The
delegates considered the ACCESSIBILITY OF
IA state farm bureau federation and
recommended to the county farm bu-
reaus that such an organization be
formed at a later date.
The party was entertained by the

ence.
Benefits From Trip.
The farmers participating were
unanimous In approval of the plan.
The automobile cost was met by the
college Of agriculture and the farmer
delegates paid their own subsistence
expenses or 1t was met by their farm
bureaus. Aside from the practical val
ne of the demonstrations and farm
practices observed the whole tone Of
county agent work in the state was
improved. Farm bureau officials re-
turned home with an enlarged outlook.
the county agents say demonstrations
and organizations work under a va
riety Of conditions, and the people
Of the counties visited were given an
enlarged vision of the state and ma
tional extent of the work.
While such an extended trip Is pos
sible only where roads are highly I'M
proved, the idea seems to be an excel
lent one, department of agriculture Of

planned In a number Of the states with

Automobile owners have learned that

Of the house itself this is done With

The pergOla roof of the garage and
the roof of the side balcony are over

Under the whole Of the house proper
is a basement with concrete floor and

IRON OUT FENDER DENTS

The greatest care must be
taken In Strengthening out dents
in the tenders, II the parts are
not to assume a battered ap-
pearance. The only satisfactory
method is to remove the fender
and get 1t on the bench. Be
meath 1t should be placed a block
Of wood cut to fit snugly the
curve of the fender. Then the
dents al be pounded out with
comparatively little Injury to the
finish and general appearance
Of the parts. Incidentally It Is
a good plan to use a leather NM
let for this work or to cover the
head of an ordinary hammer
with a number Of thicknesses Of
cloth.

TO FIND CARBURETOR LEAKS
Excellent Plan ls to immense Suspect
ed Part In Hot Water and Watch
for Bubbles.

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 bub-
bles appear.
