Ample Entry for Water.
Only a brief consideration Of the
matter should be sufficient to convince
the most skeptical that the openings
between the tiles afford ample entry
fer the water-and why should the
water force an entry through the
wallis when the open door is there?
The processes of manufacture do not
permit of a tile with absolutely true
and smooth ends. Pick out two of
the most perfectly-shaped ones and
1t viii be found that one cannot abut
them together without leaving a con-
siderable opening. In the ordinary
run of t%ile-laying an opening of at
least 0~ne.eighth incl is to be expect
ed. This one-eighth inch around the
periphery of, say, six-inch tile, gives
an entrance Of two and one-haif
square inches at each joint. Thus in
eleven jOints-a length of only twelve
feet of six-inch drain-there is an
entrance area equal to the cross-sec-
tional urea of the tile. In a drain of
only moderate length there is likely
TO he available a dozen times more
opening than the interior capacity of
the tile can make use of.
Porosity Not Wanted.
One need not fear that the water
cannot enter the tile. Place them as
close together as possible, turning
them around TO get the closest posi-
BILE fit. There need be no hesitation
in the uSe of hard-burned tile. or, IL
available, sewer pipe with "bell' ends.
Durability and strength are the quail
tiles wanted-net porosity. In fact,
porosity usually res inferiorfty,

Such a situation, of course, is

In the first place, 1t means that a

to order one, IL is certain that he

The only reason he is buying a

"sings' to Victory.
You will recall the drive to

of so many motor-car journeys. On
this particular roadway the motor
lists hopes are either dampened by
series of continued "sputs" or
raised by the accommodating power
Of a faithful motor.
The Buick caused the party a
half hour of spirited conversation.
1t ran so smoothly. Her motor
was so even. The Sing" of her

A rising hope that the Buick would
successfully complete her trip in
high was maintained by the party.
William Emerson, junior member
Of Emerson and Orme. drove the
car in the veteran manner of a sea-
soned expert. Much depends on the
operator of a car. A driver, you
know, can compel you to say your
prayers in a fervent whisper; he
can cause You disgust when he
recklessly drives into danger;
moreover. providing you are ex-
tremely nervous, he can boost the
rolls at ST. Elizabeth's Hospital.
But Mr.. Emerson was of gentle
disposition. He drove as only an
expert can.
The Buick speeded past the towns
Of Gaithersburg, Damascus, Cedar
Grove and Ridgeville and FASTENED
to Frederick. Every grade between
these points was made in high.
The party settled down to full COM
fort. No hill seemed too high for
the Buick She drove over the tops
Of steep hills with noticeable ease.
1t was at Frederick when the
party felt the urgent call Of real
hunger. The Hotel Frederick was
entered. Fried chicken, crisp rolls
and honest-to-goodne homemade
pie quickly disappeared before re-
markable appetites. 1t was the air
and the uninterrupted drive which
made hunger so intense.

Heights mountain-like hills lay
abreast Of the party's destination.
1t must have been four or five
miles of continuous grades. The
Buick gained her complete tri-
umph on these hills. Not once did
she miss in high.
Now for Braddock Heights, the
party thought. As the car hurried
ly crept up the entrance at Brad
dock the party experienced its first
thrill for the Heights. Ten or If

Like the Monument.
Have you ever viewed Washing
ton from the dizzy heights OF the
Monument? You will remember
that you saw nearly all of the city's
beauties as you gazed about. Well
Braddock is something like the
Monument. As the party stood in
the hotel looking from one of the
northward windows some idea of
the beauties of Frederick County
was conceived
Two hours of delight were spent
at Braddock. One view led to one
more remarkable. From Mr.. Gro
gan the party learned that tennis,
a swimming pool and dancing were
some of the attractions at the
Heights. The parts was satisfied.
Now for home, was the next
thought. 1t was that half-tired
tired and happy feeling which the
party experienced when the. Buick
pointed her way homeward.
Rushing over the road to the city,
there lurked in the minds of the
tourists this thought, namely, the

to be. Or. in the words of the cru

In the realm of local motordom,
especially just before the advent Of
the summer touring activities, there
hibernates this innocuous little
question: Can I make the drive to
Brsddoek Heights in high this
year,
Upon this question there hinges
the new sales of motor cars. the

It's the hill climbing stamina Of
