One Meter Penalty
for False Starts in
Olympics

A new rule which will be eff
fective at the Olympic games
for the first time next month at
Paris provides for a penalty for
a false start in the sprints.
This should benefit the Ameri-
can sprinters. who are better
drilled in starting than the
sprinters Of many Of the foreign
nations. At past Olympic
games American sprinters have
suffered in competition because
others beat the gun" and were
not penalized. Rector, the Vir-
ginia sprinter, always believed
that his defeat was due to a bad
start, and Murchison had the
same experience in Antwerp
four years ago. The new Olym-
pic rule provides a penalty of.
one meter for every false start.

GROUP BUILDING
OF BUNGALOW
ECONOMY
Central Court Plan Means
Saying IN Land and Con-
structlon Price

Perhaps no more artistic way Of
placing . bungalow can be evolved
than to make it one Of 4 group Of
bungalows built on one side Of 4
street or arranged in some form
Of q court.
There IL more to be gained from
such . placing Of bungalows than
mere beauty. as there Is also q con.
siderable saving on the amount Of
ground required. for in most cases,
more houses can bO built on q cer-
tain plot than would be possible
where each has tts own separate
lot and street frontage.
Economy in Building.
This IL moro often true In cases
where the property has considerable
depth a. then the court idea can be
worked out on rather an elaborate
landscaping scale ana stiIl effect q
large saving in the cost Of the
property, as this IL usually sold at
30 much per front foot.
Usually. when the court idea is
worked out all the houses can be
built at one time which. Of course,
means economy in construction.
In cases where the bungalows are
not put up for speculation but built
for Individual parties, It Il some.
times possible for builder to In
terest q group Of friends In forming
such a bungalow court as he can
offer them the inducement. Of a
lower price. when the order for the
houses are all given at one time.
This means only one handling Of
equipment to produce q number Of
houses ana these can be supervised
and accounted for just as easily as
one. The builder can easily reason
the advantage Of this proposition
with his prospective clients. Every.
body knows that buying In quantity
gets the best price.
Saving I'm Labor.
AS an aid in this direction, we
know OF no better way than to
make q small model Of the entire
development. Cardboard models are
inexpensive and a. they ara. made
exactly to scale they can be fas-
tened to q boafd. laid out to scale
on which the whole parking plan
Is painted. This win give the pros
pective owners q good idea az to
just how the bungalow court IL
going to look.

Of houses in courts or groups,
means q large saving In labor due

PRODUCTION OF
! BRICK HOLDS
EVENPACE
Quantity Moved Shows In
crease as Better Weather
Aids Industry !

Figures on common brick pro-
duction and shipments for the last
month reveal normal seasonal
condition. While the unburned
brick on hand remains about the
same during the thirty.day period
and there. has been q slight reduc.
ton Of burned brick on hand. the
quantity Of brick moved from the
yards has greatly increased.
The February report showed
that 45,762.0O0 brick were moved
from the yards during the previous
thirty days, while the current re.
port shows 104.e6S.oO0 brick were
moved during the last thirty days
This is the result unquestionahly
Of better weather and resumption
Of work In the larger cities.
The Illinois, Indiana and Wiscon.
sin district contributed largely to
this increase in shipments. while in.
creases are also shown from the
Southeastern States Of Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina and
Georgia; and q slight Increase from
Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi.
Alabama, Arkansas and Louisiana.
California also shows q gain in
shipments.
The orders on the books did not
increase last month and stand with.
In about 100000 brick Of the
point reported thirty days ago.
Chicago continues to break all
records in brick consumption. In
1923 1900, 900, 900 brick were con.
sumed in the Chicago district, and
the deliveries for January, Feb.
ruary and March thus far have
even exceeded the high mark set
up in the corresponding months q
year ago.
The brick manufacturers Of the
Atlantic seaboard still have one eye
at least open TOR the foreign brick
situation. Authentic reports Gov.
ering the receipts Of brick in 102S
proved that there was much exag.
geraffon In earlier estimates OF
quantities received. Not more than
100000 brick were received alto
gether from foreign ports, and
much OF this, in fact, was not brick
at all but q substitute made out OF
sand and lime. This material moved
slowly and in fact some Of It Is still
in the hands OF the dealers.
