zoo people. Direction of European az
fairs will be carried on from this side
Of the water on completion Of the re-
organization. The orders are that as
far as possible only Americans are TO

the confusion resulting from this
duplication.

acting under the express authority of

RUNAWAY BOY
BACK HOME FOR
. BIRTHDAY CAKE
Wagner Decides to Pass
Natal Anniversary at
Fireside.

BALTIMORE, Sept. divisions OF
q huge birthday cake with thirteen
candles was too much for William
Wagner. thirteen-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. John Wagner, 1885 Barclay
street, and he once again is under the
parental roof, wiser lad and sure
that 13 is his lucky number.
Last Tuesday. the 18th, William
kissed his mother good-by and started
for school. Thirteen cents weighed
heavily in his pocket and he was
stricken with a sudden attack Of wan
derlust. On q corner was a man ad.
justing the carbureter Of motor
truck. Bill nosed In on the Job and
soon was speeding northward with a
job as helper" to the owner Of the
truck.
When he did not appear for supper
his parents became worried. Later they
notified the police Of his disappear
ance.
Yesterday morning. bright and
CHEEKY, Bill walked in and proudly
threw $13 on the dining room table.
He had been to the Stewartstown, Pa,
fair, where he had earned enough
money to pay his return fare by rail
and to donate to the family exchequer.
oh, just made II in wages and
tips" said Bill. But he remembered
that today was his birthday, and the
thought OF that cake with the thir.
teen candles would not down. Hence
Bill 10 home.
Thirteen sure is lucky for me-" he
says.

in case the design e an expensive
one, and IL the owner appears TO be
exceptionally particular and fussy In
his taste, they add little more.
This also applies to the contractor.
Consequently, when the bids are re-
turned to the architect. they vary in
most casese, where there have been
three or four contractors figure on

The client finds the contract runs

fications in order to reduce the cost.

tions a good appliance to heat his hot
water supply, he decides to omit this
and try to heat the hot water from an
ordinary pipe coil In his furnace, which
under most conditions consumes much
more fuel, is unsatisfactory and con-
tinually kills the fire In his furnace.
In this climate. where the tempera-
ture fuctuates so rapidly and Is mild
a greater part Of the day, he will get
no hot water unless the furnace Is

Would Save Money.
He will soon discover that he would

have installed a modern, up-to-date
hot water heater, Of which there are
a few on the market that will pay for
themselves In o few years.
Going further. he may substitute

mates proper drainage around the
cellar in most locations.
By cutting out Of the specifications
the things he most desires to make
the new residence really a home. he
finds at the end of the first year that
he cannot have comfort and conven.
ience, because to try to keep within

architect was informed Of the approx
