oider to form a base to which meas
upements can be referred from year
to year, brass plugs are set in the
pavement where readings are desired.
Readings are taken by resting the
bearing plates on the roads surface
and allowing the plunger to rest on
tie base plate of the plug. The in
strument Is plumbed with the aid of
a level and the spanner bar is held
parallel TO the center line of the road.
ether readings may be taken with the
bar at right angles to the center line
OF the road.
An important advantage of this in
strument IS that accurate data can be
Stquired rapidly and without inter-
rapting traffic. The base plate in the
pavement is protected between read

Llugs are readily set in any pavement

This is the season of the year when
those who expect to build home next
spring are studying home building de-
signs. Undoubtedly they have fixed in
their minds about the sort of house
they will build. But the decision will
be influenced by the designs of houses
they see and by the exteriors and in
teriOrS Of the homes of the friends
they visit. Nevertheless, building a
home is an important step, and the
house should not be selected without
a careful study of plans and considera-
ton of what the family needs.
One of the first decisions to be made
is in regard to the materials to be
used. In a great many minds, the
thought of a house brings a picture of
a frame building of wood. To others,
brick will be the material, while some
will consider hollow building tile, or
cement blocks. Each material has its
advantages and disadvantages. But
when arguments for and against the
different materials are summed up, it
finally becomes a matter Of individual
taste.
In practically every city the majority
of houses erected at the present time
are of ,gbrick, either of solid brick or
of brick over frame, or hollow tile.
Brick has a good, substantial appear
ance and has the advantages of pro-
viding home that is warm in winter
and cool in summer. And at present
prices there is little difference in cost
between any of the materials.
Herewith is shown a home building
design that is most popular. 1t is a
five-room brick bungalow that is at
tractive in exterior appearance and has
a room arrangement that is convenient
and will make most comfortable
home. While the rooms are small in
number, they are Of good size, and
will provide accommodations for the
average family.
The attractive feature Of the exte-
rior of this house is the porch. 1t is

IS a decided lack of vibration. Where
there Is no excessive vibration or
where it is reduced to the minimum
the life of the motor is proportion
ateiy increased and the operating ex-
penss consequently decreased.
The Haynes light six motor is re-
garded by its many thousands of
users as being highly developed
motor, with vibration practically elm
mated. The power impulses of the six
cylinder motor overlap to such de-
gree that smooth motion is effected.
TIE motor OF six cylinders is high

nomical. There are, perhaps, to-day
more six-cylinder cars in use than any
other type.
However, there are personal tastes
to be satisfied in the automobile bust
ness the same as in other lines. And
the public has certainly approved the
motor with twelve cylinders. The
Haynes company, in recognition of the
demand for twelve-cylinder cars, will
devote certain part Of the factory to
the manufacture of automobiles of
this type. Every motorist who has
experienced the wonderful qualities of
