CAUTIOUS INVESTING
IN HOME ADVOCATED
Design From Housewives View
Important as Well as Char
acter of Materials.

A small house is generally built
from hard earned savings, and every
cent invested in it should be made to
count for some useful purpose. A
home should be durable and efficient
from the point of view of the house
wife.
The different varieties of lumber,
for instance, availa BILE in each section
of the United States have special uses.
The weatherproofing should be such
in northern climates that bills FOR
heating will not be excessive. Room
dimensions should be such as to
utilize the full lengths of. standard
sizes of lumber, and door and window
frames should be of stock sizes.
Fire hazards should be minimized
by proper protection around furnaces
and stoves. In so large an investment
as a home there is no excuse for
neglect of simple precautions against
fire. A house that is pleasing to the
eye and adapted to it's surroundings
is more readily Salable and, there
fore. more valuable.
Under the head of comfort a house
should have the windows properly
arranged to allow the maximum of
outdoor lighting. Windows. particu-
larly in bedrooms, should allow for
the ventilation essential to comfert.
Many houses are much noisier than
they need 0e, and the noisiest house
is not always the cheapest.
Housekeepers are only beginning
TO realize how their work may be
reduced by built-in furniture and by
well planned kitchens, which have
been shown to save about a third of
the steps required to prepare meal.

Does Not Rnow Needs.
"As I have epitomized the situation
in the building industry II would be
bad enough, but it is made worse by
the fact that. the assembler Of the
of each of the 200 competitive prod
ucts is best suited to his needs;
and, moreover even II he does know
exactly what he wants, frequently
he does not know where to get il
if il is manufa ctured, or how to
which mean the same thing to the
manufa cturer as to himself. There
is no common or standard terTninology.
Under the circumstances, the push
ana pull IN the law OF supply anu
demand is exerted by the producers
and not by consumers. The question
which many a producer of any part
of a building asks himself (whether
the question clearly formulates itself
in his mind or noD when contem
plating the inauguration of a new
line, is not, SIS there a demand for
this thing?' but, Can l get away
with IL, can l create a demand for
il, what will the creation of the
demand cost. and will I be successful
in charging that cost through to the
consumer
"In any and every case the entire
cost Of production and of selling any
commodity. including building mate
rials, is charged to the consumer.
The consumer even pays the price Of
the 2-cent stamp which brings him
the bill for the materials delivered
The cost of unsuccessful efforts to
sell is included in the price charged
for the product that is sold.

petition, degenerates into the law Of

Real Estate Men
Make More Use
OF erm 'Realtor'

Realtors of the National Capital
are increasing strongly the use here
of the term "realtor," a letter to the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards from the Washington Real
Estate Board states.
Practice of clipping all advertise
ments of members where neither the
term "realtor" nor the phrase, Mem
ber of the Washington Real Estate
Board appears, and of sending the
clipping with n letter drawing atten-
ton to the omission, has been adopt
ed to secure 100 per cent co-opera-
ton in the placing of the meaning of
"realtor" before the public.
Consistent use of the terms by mem
berS benefits both the members so
advertising and the board. the board
points out in the letter which its
vigilance committee is using.
The Tulsa Real Estate Board is
among the boards urging constant
use of 'realtor" in newspaper adver-
tising. letter heads. signs and bill
boards
Capitalize your profession" is the
Tulsa slogan.

Competition Held Big Factor
In Increased Building Costs
Ne'c York Expert Says Standardization
Necessary to Rid Industry
of Big EuH.

The building industry can never
De operated economically, says Sui
ltvan Jones, state architect of New
York, until there is basic standard
ization and a maintained balance be-
tween supply and demand. Neither
Standardization nor a balance be-
tween supply and demand can be
had without ALLEGATION of production,
pooling OF the product and price
Our difficulties of high costs and
nigh prices are due" says Mr.. Jones.
TO the very general, and ] might
say almost universal adherence to
the unsound doctrine of competition
and unco-ord;nated Individual initia-
tive. Those in public office have al
ways capitalized for political ends
the public's belief in competition and
individual initiative as the. dynamos
ington who know that competition
must ultimately lead either to chaos
or to monopoly; who know that the
so-called antitrust laws operate to
create monopolies; but who are
afraid to light a new torch of leader
ship.
Il have made what sounds like a
radical suggestion. AS matter of
fact j merely suggested that we ap-
ply to the whole building industry
the same operating principles as are
now, without exception, applied to
the operation of single factory
producing any useful commodity.
Gives Illustration.
"A very simple example will serve
TO illustrate what | meant by the diff
ference between our operation OF the
building industry and the operation
of q plant.
Suppose We are operating a plant
manufacturing pencils. There are
four parts to the finished product:
the lead. the wood casing. the brass
Zip to take rubber and the rubber.
Each part is turned out by a machine
process. the detils Of which do not
concern us. The plant is so designed
and equipped that when il is in full
operation the four processes turn out
precisely the same number OF their
respective parts in a unit Of time
so that when the pencils are assem-
bled there will be enough of each
and none left over. The quantities
of each of the four parts which COM
prise the finished product are fixed
by determining how many finished
pencils per hour shall be produced
This determination is an arbitrary
one. 1t might be established sci
entifcally on the basis OF demand.
