today is to get value for your money.
1t Is very easy TO have plans drawn

A close inspection OF the construc-

likes the design.
It Is built of hollow tile backing
with an attractive stucco finish. In
localities where tile is hard to obtain
or more expensive than other backing
material, common brick or frame can
be used just as we'll. The walls are
thick and strong and the foundation
Is solid concrete with q good, high,
weli-lighted basement for housing the
heating plant, laundry, general stor-
age room, food storage cellar and
workshop.
The arrangement and number OF

The old saying tells us that you
ear drive a horse to water, but you
cannot make him drink" There is
striking analogy In the a of the
prospective home-owner who now Oc-
cHpies the unenvied position Of rent
payer to his lordship, the landlord.
Many of these tenants have been
driven through desperation and self
preservation to the point where they
are interested in building a home of
their own. The problem Is to get them
over the final barrier-dehnite decision.
If things had gone along as they were
before the war, many of these people
would never think about owning q
home; renting was too easy. They
did not care to assume the respOn-
sibility. But now they think differ
emily and n of the most convincing
arguments to get them to make this
tfnai decision Is to show them a home
design that is so appealing that they
annot resist.

GOOD SPORT IN FAR NORTH
Chasing and happening the
Fierce Polar Bear.

Possibly no other sport gives as
much of q thrill as h%arpooning polar
bears In Alaskan waters. Certainly
not many sports present such an OPP
portunity for excitement.
When summer comes and the frozen
waters are broken up into floating Ice
cakes the polar bear cannot go about
In his accustomed manner. Being a
good swimmer. however, he takes to
the water In order to satisfy the wan
derlust In his system.
When floating he Is at a disad-
vantage, and Ii Is while he assumes
such a position that Uncle Sans
Eskimo wards proceed to hunt him
In any kind of craft they car procure.
They could shoot him If they chose.
But If they did he would sink. So in
stead of using a firearm they spear
him with the harpoon, to which a rope
Is attached. This o p prevents the
bear from sinking below the surface
of the water. Is is said the polar bears
put up a fierce fight.

"At any rate. IT isn't nay fault" said

said.

And yet he never gets up at seven
