often the great upper rooms OF the
white house were alive with pillow
fights and with those bedtime
romps which must have left a lasting
impression upon the happy group Of
young children. But the character
istic which was most touching in his
family relationship was his ability
TO continually remind his children
that the spiritual values in life are
those which are really worthwhile.
We all know that the greatest
safeguard for republic is the
founding OF happy homes. There is
no greater danger threatening the
American home today than the alb
sence of the father as an active and
determining force in shaping the

his children. How often we hear
some of our best men remark com
placently: Il leave the training OF
my children entirely 10 my wife. She

and story Of the influence Of good
mothers. and this is we'll. but we
need TO hear just as much Of the in

"ncn you have received your various
estimates and decided which builder YOU
want to manufacture your house YOU
are confronted with the problem of YOUR
contract. Now in the contract az in
other building problems you want to
consult and be guided by your architect.
and also, as in other legal matters, con-
suit and be guided by your lawyer
but there are some questions of policy
which you must decide for yourself.
Remember at the outset that no mat
ter how clever your lawyer and YOUR
architect may be. they cannot write a
contract that is unbreakabe. Contracts,
no matter how carefully drawn, can
DO only two things: prevent mis-
understanding between honest men and
protect the legal rights Of an honest
man in law suit with another who
perhaps is not quite so honest. But as
your present desire is to produce a
house and not to win a law suit, with
Its lnvariable delays and heartaches, it
IS to your advantage to see that your
contract IS based on common sense and
Il degree Of fairness both to yourself
limits set by 'the letter Of the law"
Architect Your Guide
For an owner who is looking for JUS
tice and not pound Of flesh there is
less to be feared in building contra ct
than IN any other kind, for it is COM
mon practice in this section of the
country to make the architect (the
owners agent the sole arbitrator in
case of dispute As to the intent or
meaning Of the plans and specifications
DO not. however, think because of this
fact that you can be as unreasonable as
you like and force your agent to decide
IN your favor. The only reason this
apparently unfair form Of contract has
been permitted to exist is because archi-
tects as a whole realize not only their
duty toward you, but also their moral
duty toward the man who. realizing the
architects financial interests are de-
pendent on your favor. deliberately
places himself in his hands. There are
remarkably few cases on record wherr
the architect has betrayed either trust.
There are three general forms of con-
tract which are used in connection with
house building in this section of the
advantages and likewise its own short
comings. In the vernacular of the trade
these are called the straight contract"
fixed fee" and percentage
Three Contract Forms
The Straight contract is one in
which the contractor agrees for a def
mite sum of money to produce and de-
liver to the owner the building por-
trayed on the plans and described in the
specifications of the architect. This
contract has the advantage of defining
the amount which the owner is to paw
