Expert Advice Always De-
sirable Because 1t Saves
Useless Expenditures.
PLAN FROM BEGINNING
Have Everything Accord
ing to Specifications and
Avoid Costly Errors.
BY JAMES r. NJ. MORRISON.

Home building may be the most
fascinating thing in the world. or it
may be actual misery, depending upon
the home builder, upon the compe-
tence of the architect and the con-
tractor who are responsible for carry
ing out the builders ideas. To get
the real joy out Ga building ones home
and to achieve the best results, a
certain amount of knowledge of the
methods of building is necessary. The
architect is always surprised when he
finds how little the owner actually
knows about the building of his con-
templated home. In many instances
he cannot understand the drawings,
and is not able to visualize the fin.
ished building. Yet there should be
infinite pleasure in the building Of
ones own home, as there is in the
creation of any other thing. Each
home should be not only beautiful but
should have a certain amount of per-
sonality of the owner and builder.
Site Is Important.
The selection of the site is always
an important thing. The most de-
sirable house, if it is badly placed,
will be an unsuccessful home. l do
not necessarily mean by badly placed
that it need face in any one particular
direction, but that it should be situated
in the most desirable place for the
family which are to live in it. For ex-
ample, house situated long way
from schools and churches, as well as
the owners place of business, would
be badly placed, no matter how beau
tiful the situation might be. One must
consider good water, safe sewerage
disposal, good schools, the availability
of gas and electricity, and good streets
and l might add, good neighbors.
After the location is decided upon,
firSncing the building is the next step
to be considered. and it is wise to
have a third of the cost before begin
ming. Be sure that you have a clear
title to the property and be sure that
your arrangements for the payments
on your building have been completed.
Selecting the Architect.
The next step is the selection of an
architect. Here it pays to be cautious
The services of a capable man are
worth much more than he charges
you. The services of poor architect
are absolutely worthless.
An architect must make all draw

Recent price reductions and an

hesitation on the part of buyers, but
buyins ability and inclination still
I. exists and all indications pont TO a
[ good fall and winter and fine spring
l trade, according TO statements by the
leading automobile manufacturers OF
1.-THE country. In fact, good general
business conditions and automotiye
prosperity are seen by practically
| everyone connected with the motor
car industry.
Summing the results of an exhaus-
live investigation of conditions in the
automobile industry and prospects for
( future business, Motor Age, one OF
the leading trade periodicals. says:
"Only the brightest prospects are
before the automobile dealers for the
| fall and winter.
The spring of 1924 should bring
even a greater movement in automo-
| biles than in 1928.
I so say a representative number OF
presidents of automobile manufacture
ing concerns.
!. Optimism Is General.
aThis optimistic view of the deal
er's future is plainly stated in let
tiers to Motor Age from these factory
| executives. The letters are in an
swer to an inquiry sent to them by
Motor Age, asking this information
| on behalf of the dealers of the coun
| try.
"A surprising feature of this cor
respondence is the proportion of presi
dents who did not seek this oppor
tunity for mere boom publicity. A
large proportion asked that the letter:
| be treated confidential.
"0ne interesting point made in one
of the letters is why the pessimistiC
opinions held early in 1923 did no
materialize. One of the executives
! says that he was then doubtful of thu
future because he feared high prices
of raw materials and necessary ad
vance of finished products. This, h
said, did not materialize. thanks t.
the foresight of manufacturers Wit
refused TO bid against each other TO
raw materials.
This foresight and determination
on the part of the manufacturer ha
averted a repetition of the 1920 sit

sary. You may feel that you wish tt
go to builder and have him build
your house. If you do this, be quite
sure of the fact that little money, il
any, will be saved, because a builder
must have plans to work from and he
will be obliged to have them made and
you, of course. will have to pay him
for having it done. After you have Sc
lected your plans. you will send them
our to several builders, doubtless, and
will accept the lowest estimate. You
should not send the plans to any
builder to whom you are not willing
to give the JOB if the price is salts
factory, remembering, always, that IT
costs a builder a considerable sum o:
money to make such an estimate.
About Your Contract.
You should never sign contract
with builder unless you have perfer.
confidence that he is able to carry
through the construction of the house
There are two sides to- each contract
and when you have signed one, re-
member that if you expect the con-
tractor to live up to his, you, too, have
agreed to certain things, and unless
you live up to your part of the con-
tract. you cannot expect him to abide
by his.
One thing which an owner should
always remember is that every change
after the building is started, means an
additional cost. To change the posi-
ton of door, window, or the cleo
trical outlets, costs money and should
it seem imperative to make these
changes, it should be talked over with
your architect. and >the cost decided
upon before the work is done. One
thing the home builder should never
do, and that is to give individual in
structions to the workmen on the job.
The workman is not working for you
but for the contractor, and the order
should come directly from him. Every
architect and contractor expects and
desires the owner to visit the building
while in course of construction. but
resents constant interference with the
work. The best-liked clients, or the
one the architect and contractor pre-
fers to work with. is the one who
understands his plans. reads the speci.
fications, knows what the contractor
has agreed TODD, and insists upon his
doing it. But he does resent the owner
asking to have something done he
has not agreed TO do, unless he isl
willing to cheerfully pay the costA

AMERICAN CARS OF
OPEN TYPE ARE IN
GREATEST DEMAND
Prospective Buyers Abroad
Mainly Influenced by
Price.

Prospective buyers of automobiles
are chiefly influenced by price. Their
preference is for American cars Of
open models. Sport models with six
cylinders and special equipment are in
demand. Magnetic ignition is required,
likewise right-hand drive as the chauf-
feur is usually accompanied by foot
man. Horsepower, color, passenger
capacity and gasoline consumption do
not appear to be taken into considera-
ton by buyers. A light American
truck leads in sales and is followed
by the Benz, Opel and dag.
Martinique:
The six cars which have had the
largest sale are American. There is
no market for the high-priced cars.
The open touring car is used almost
exclusively. Left-hand drive and bat.
terry ignition are most common. There
is little demand for special equip
ment. Trucks over two and one-half
ton capacity are not allowed on the
island. Those most widely used are u
one TO two and half-ton capacity.
Nicaragua:
Roads are poor and billy, and pow.
err is the chief requisite for ear in
Nicaragua. The market is small-es-
Inmates indicating about 80 cars in
operation. American low and medium
priced cars having the largest sales.
The Fiat is the only European car
represented and its sales are negIi-
gible. Five-Dassenger, open models
with lefthand drive are preferred.
There are not more than three or four
closed ears in the country. Trucks
are little used except in the cities.
Heavy ones are seldom seen.
Paraguay
A low-priced American car is the
only one sold in Paraguay through
local agent. Other than about 43j
Of this make there arc probably not
more than ten or twelve automobiles
in the country. Lack of roads makes
the use of motor trucks impossible
outside of the city Of Asuncion, where
there are at present in operation five
or six one-ton trucks of a low-priced
American make. The poor pavements
of the city make the use of heavy
trucks impracticable.'

NO "TOP CROP"
Dewitt Farmers Start Fight on Wee
wills by Flowing Stalks Under.

Cuero. Tex. Oct. 13.-All hopes OF
a fall production of cotton. ordinarily
referred TO as stop crop have been
dispelled by the appearance in large
numbers of boil weevils.
The dry hot summer checked the
boil weevil activities and permitted
fair crop to be made, but the rainy
spell starting the last of August and
running nearly through September,
followed by cooler temperatures gave
the weevils chance for second
start. and farmers are Fastening now
TO get up with their work and start
turning stalks under ground as a
means of protecting themselves from
boil weevil depredations next year.

uation when prices on everything, au-
tomobiles included, scared TO the point
that brought the buyers strike with
its serious consequences.
In Position to Know.
"These letters are evidence that
manufacturers are human and that
they have the same differences of
opinion as TO methods as have deal
ers-that some of them believe in new
models and some do not. This is ex-
actly the same difference of opinion
that exists among dealers.
This, we believe. adds Importance
to the unanimity of opinion among
the leaders in the industry that the
prospect for late 1923 and early 1924
business is good.
Manufacturing executives have op-
portunity for a broad outlook. They
have time to make the study, for it is
part of their business. As aides in
this study they have special expert OBJ.
servers and many business reports.
But more important than these, they
have the opinions of their dealer or.
CARNATIONS.
at is hardly conceivable that any
of these executives would be as op.
timistic as they are, if their dealer
organizations did not, in the main
hold optimistic vews."
