your building cost even though your
home is small.
How to Save Money.
If you decide to build and do
most of the work yourself you can,
undoubtedly. save money IL you
first protect yourself with complete
and adequately prepared plans
These documents will give you all
the information you require to
completely and satisfactorily finish
the job.
A contractor, either by day labor
or contract, must charge you for
supervision. This item of cost
varies. depending upon the size of
your home and the length of time
required to build it. If your home
is small, 1t is possible that with a
good set of drawings and complete
specifications you can do most of
the supervision yourself, although
in the long run it usually pays and
is better business to put. your
building operation into the hands of
a reliable builder or contractor.

only for the laboring man but
also for the manager. We need a
better understanding of economics
and 1t is necessary for us to re-
member that basiely everybody in
the country is paid for his serv-
ices, be they mental or physical,
with goods and other service and
not with money.
Money is but the medium of
exchange. 1t goes without saying
that the more consumable goods
we can produce with the same
amount of labor the more there Is
in the general pot for distribution
among the producers.
"Of course, our system of pro-
duction and distribution is not
perfect, but II is improving from
year to year. and, as Prof. Selig-
man. of Columbia University. said
in a recent discussion, while the
oapitalistic system of production
Is by no means perfect, 1t con-
tains within itself the opportuni-
ties of its own evolution.
Four Causes of Waste.
"As you will see from the re-
port, the causes of waste may be
generally classified under the
heads of "a low production. ca
interrupted production, (3) re-
stricted production and 90 lost
production. Low production is
caused by faulty material control,
faulty design control, faulty pro-
duction control. lack of cost con-
troll. lack of research, faulty labor
control. ineffective workmanship
and faulty sales policies. Inter-
rupted production is caused by idle
men, idle material and idle plants.
Restricted production comes about
either by restrictions Of the own
ersr or management or by labor.
Lost production is largely due to
i'll health, physical defects and ac-
cidents.
The report suggests many of
the remedies which are applica.
BILE, and the recent conference on
unemployment makes still further
suggestions toward correcting in
terrupted production due to idle
men. Probably of all things. this
is the most vital. 1t is unfor-
tunate that in a country like the
United States we should have idle
men when we have such rich re-
sources and such demands for fin
ished goods. A large portion of
this unemployment is due to
booms and depressions, and, while
We do not thoroughly understand
the causes of these cycles we are
getting nearer and nearer to the
truth, and l believe that we can
look forward to a time when the
peaks and valleys will be nearly
leveled out.
The one thing. to my mind.
that stands in the way Is a
psychological one, and that is that
when we are in a boom period we
fail to realize 1t. imagine condi-
tions are normal, and that the real
boom Is ahead OF us. 1t is only a
few farsighted and sound thinking
men who realize the actual condi-
tion. 1t is incumbent upon own
ers and managers to study this
question thoroughly to see that
information is collected and dis
tributed and to properly interpret
it," he concludes.

URGES WASTE ELIMINATION
TO OADBUIDNG INDUSTRY
Places Fifty Per Cent of Responsibility for
Waste on Heads of Management.

IF you have read the published
report on waste in industry you
will have seen that in assigning
the relative responsibility for
waste. so per cent of this respon-
sibility has been placed at the
door of management and less than
rs per cent at the door of labor"
says Summer Sollitt in the Con-
structor.
In assessing this responsibility
there has been no purpose or de-
sire to place blame upon any in
dividual, group or class. Waste,
like industry itself. is the result
of a slow growth: but undoubtedly
the greatest opportunity today for
correcting II Is in the hands of
management.
by management Is meant all of
those engaged in industry, from
foremen uI to the financial heads
of the concern. The Importance
of management has been shown
by that terrible experiment con-
Quoted in Russia, in which an at
tempt was made to carry on in
dustry by the workman himself.
1t has failed miserably and now
its, protagonists are asking that
technical men come into Russia to
re-establish its industries" he de-
clares.
'In America the importance of
cooperation in industry Is recog-
nized by the worker as well as by
The managerial class. Organized
labor itself frankly says that
management is something on which
it Is not expert, and which pri-
marily it is up to the engineers to
look out for" Sollitt holds.
Labor's Share of Waste.
"Of the relative waste which is
assessed by the committee against
labor. a good deal of it Is in GER
tain Industries in which the proper
relations between management and
labor do not exist, and l believe
that If we can improve our in
dustrial relations, a large part of
these restrictions will disappear

URG ES PLANNING
Haphazard Way of Erection
VIII Easily Absorb
! Finances.

When it comes to actually build
Ing your home there are three ways
Nopen for you to proceed. First. by
employing a general contractor who
assumes responsibility for the en-
tire job at a fixed and agreed upon
price. Alterations and changes will
cost you extra.
Second, by employing day labor.
hich means engaging a contractor
or builder to supervise the work
and supply the materials and labor.
He makes you a cost charge plus a
percentage or lump sum for profit
to himself for his work. II you
can afford 1t. this is an excellent
way to build. There is no dis
position on the part of the builde,
to neglect or slight any of the de-
ytails called for in your plans and
specifications.
Changes Cost Money.
One disadvantage of day labor is
that you are never quite sure what
your total cost will be. You can
estimate 1t in a general way, but
-hine times out of ten It will be
larger than you expect. On the day
labor basis there is a tendency on
tAe, part of owners to change and
alter plans. Don't forget that
thanges cost money.
II you are building a small home,
the contract method is perhaps the
eest to employ for the reason that
you know what you are expected to
pay before the work begins. II you
select a reliable builder. you will
get full value for your dollars.
Third. II your home is small.
three. four or five rooms, you may
decide that with the help of a car
penter or two you can do some of
the work yourself. In this event
You will undoubtedly be on the
job to supervise the work and to
see that your home is built to meet
your satisfaction. A surprisingly
Darge number of homes are built
this way. 1t is what is called the
rule of thumb" method of build
ing because many home builders
proceed to erect dwellings with
only tentative and hurried penciled
drawings, trusting to luck as 10 the
outcome of the house. This is an
expensive method to employ unless
you first provide yourself with a
.ood set of plans and specifications.
