How About Costs ?
Little Study of Costs One Room of the Modern House

There are rails for cloths and rack for the tooth
brushes. The interior of the room is finished in
marble or finished to resemble marble Dirt can
hardly collect The floor is Of tile, perhaps, offer
ing no spaces In which filth may accumulate or
disease breed. Just think of these things when
you go to ask the plumber what it will cost to
have the bath room equipped, and remember also
that practically every piece of material entering
into bath room equipment today is better made
and better installed and better looking than it was
in the bath room which was put in twenty or ten
or even five years ago. And. Of course, you
would not think of building fine home today
without having as good equipment in the bath
room you can have.
A house which cost ten thousand dollars ten
years ago may cost ten thousand dollars today
but today ten thousand dollar house will have
equipment much better than the house had ten
years ago.
1t pays. Of course, to have good equipment, not
alone for the comfort and convenience the good
equipment carries with it. but because good
equipment is less apt to break or get out of order
1t might pay to do little thinking along these
lines. And then consult the plumber
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1922-08-07

Costs are down. That goes without saying.
They may go up later, but they are down now.
But when you build and equip that new bath
room, for instance, don't think that prices are
high merely because today's bath room costs
more to equip than the bath room of several years
ago. Just do little thinking.
The modern bath room is not like the old one.
The old one had bath tub standing on four legs.
Dirt could get underneath. The tub was prob
ably short The faucets were good for the old
days but poor according to today's standards.
The wash bowl was good for those times but looks
queer along side of the modern bowl. Other
equipment may have been good for those old
times but they would be inferior now
Today bath tub is built in. It's much better
tub-and it costs little more, perhaps. 1t has
modern little devices to make for proper santa
ton and convenience. 1t has space under it to
attract dirt 1t is highly enameled with enamel
which will not crack or break off. The wash
bowl is piece of art, while it serves practically.
1t has much better faucets than did the old one.
1t has plate glass mirror above it instead of no
mirror or single-strength looking glass. There
IS medicine chest In the room. There is a beau
tiful rack for towels, instead of nails or hooks.

sent the price back to $.64.
While most financial experts agree
that the balancing OF Great Britain's
budget and the steady improvement
n her foreign trade balance make a
comparatively early return to the par
rate Inevitable. the rapidity of the re-
cent rise created a great deal OF nys-
terry as TO how It had been brought
about. News dispatches from abroad
hinted at special operations" and ru'
mors were current hat h upward
movement was the result Of British
manipulation in order TO
facilitate the funding, and payment
of interest on Britain's debt TO this
coury, but no official explanation was
forthcoming.
The rise in sterling, which made Its
depreciation from par less than 8 per
ont, automatically resulted IN I'M

MEMS COSTUMES
OF 18TH CENTURY
HAVE BEEN FOUND

Copenhagen-Men's costumes of the
l 18th and 14th centuries have been
found in Greenland. They. are in an
excellent. state Of preservation. and re-
semble the clothes worn by Dante in
the published pictures of the Italian
poet. They are not yet open to pub
lie view; but may be exhibited at some
future date.
These interesting finds were made
by DR.. Noerlund, a Danish scientist.
while excavating in ancient buriai
grounds in the Northwestern part of
Greenland. They are the only exist
ing specimens in the world of gar
ments worn by men. in the 18th and
14th centuries. Being: deposited in
the frozen earth for about 500 years
has preserved them from, destruction
by moth and age. The garments, are
nov in Copenhagen and deposited in
the Danish collection in the Museum
housed in the ,Prinsen's Palace.
Dr.. Noerlund has found also several
old wooden crosses in the frozen
earth. They are covered with in
scriptions in the Gothic rune script,
and are considered by 3~scieniststto he.
Of great historic value.
