Many troublesome problems confront
the prospective house owner and builder
in the selection of his plot and the
Placing of his buildings on it. The
cost of the plot, the general locality,
the natural surroundings, the proximity
OF friends and schools, the convenience
o. transportation to and from his bust
ness, etc.-all these are obvious and
will be settled upon by the individual
with view to his particular require
nscnts and preferences.
There are other factors entering into
the problem, however, which are not so
apparent and which are easily over
looked under the spell of the enthusi-
astic and convincing salesman.
If there is rock underlying the pro-
POSED site. If there is natural drainage
j. the conditions of the soil are such
that it readily absorbs or drains off
ground waterfall these are OF primary
Importance to the man who proposes to
build and affect not only his comfort
and satisfaction, but his pocketbook.
Also these are matters which mean
little to the inexperienced owner until
he has had his lesson.
Bought n Rock for Home Site
A case comes to mind of an owner
who planned an attractive home on a
riot which cost very little money, but
when the house was located and started
the cellar had to be carved out of solid
rock at cost which exceeded the
original price Of the lot.
Loose rock is an asset when it can
be used to advantage for the founda-
ton walls, as rubble stone walls are
considerably cheaper than concrete or
brick. but bedrock means extra cost
and delay.
Choose the site carefully with regard
TO the natural drainage. Remember
that it is much easier to lead the
water away than to keep it out, and a
little additional expense for tile pipe
to drain the cellar walls sometimes
built in nearby suburb on plots which
sloped sharply away from the house to-
ward the street. When occupied all
developed wet cellars. A great deal
of unnecessary annoyance and ex-
pense for interpreting could have
been avoided by some drain pipe
to lead the water away, which could
have been installed at small expense
while the work was in progress, but in

times over, finally, to cure the trouble
In building as in everything else
Fan ounce of prevention is worth q
pound of cure"
Sewage Disposal Important
The question of sanitary drainage is
solved, as every one knows, when sew
ers are to be had, but a large proper
ton of suburban territory available
for the home builder is not served by
sewers, and cannot be for many years.
This brings up the question of sewage
disposal, which is at best a trouble
some one.
Wherever possible the most salts
factory solution of this is some system
of septic tanks and drainage fields.
But there are many cases, and espe-
cially in connection with the small
house and small plot, where this is i'm
possible, or inadvisable, because of lack
OF space, soil conditions and cost. The
common substitute for a septic sys-
tenn is the teaching cesspool, which is
deep we'll, varying in size and depth
upon the population of the house and

A Dangerous Weapon.

A man sitting on the top of a Fifth

his newspaper. The seat beside him
was vacant. Soon a large, lapless
woman got aboard and seated herself
in the empty place. In her arms she
held a baby. What 1t lacked In beau
