Plumbing and Wiring
Need Frequent Check-Up

What should be done to the plumb
ing system? The first place to look
for trouble is in each toilet tank, as
the little float valve which shuts off
the water when the tank is full some
times gets out of order and does not
close properly. Take the top off the
tank and see If the valve closes tight
ly; If not, call a plumber-or fix II
yourself.
You may apply modern bathroom
and kitchen plumbing fixtures in an
old house easily quickly and with
economy. They can be attached to the
old pipes with very little labor.
Look over the faucets carefully
those that drip should have new disks
applied. Old-fashioned faucets can be
deftly removed and new ones added
without difficulty.
The electric wire system of the
house should be gone over to see that
it is in good order Old wiring is
sometimes in a dangerous condition
because the insulation has dried up
and dropped off, leaving bare wires
exposed in places.
A modern system of wiring in metal
tubes will safeguard your home.
In most rooms the new wires can be
''fished" in place and thus concealed
in the partitions.

Good Housing Elements
in Modern Building

1t Is not so much the cubic feet of
space In house as the way in which
this space is used, which is important
Is difficult to say what should be the
minimum space required for a family
of given size. The extremely high
ceilings Of few decades ago provided
a lot of space which served no practi-
cal purpose. Modern housekeeping de-
mands compact rooms, planned to
make housekeeping easier.
In most cities combating dust and
SCOT is no small part Of the house
work, and other things being equal,
the smaller the surfaces to be cleaned,
and the easier the particular type Of
surface can be cleaned, the better.
Plenty of closet space in all parts of
the house is a great saver of work in
housekeeping, and reserves important
consideration in selecting a house plan
or in purchasing a house.
Families that are rearing children
ordinarily require three sleeping
rooms. Where there are small chill
dren, many parents prefer to have the
bathroom and one bedroom down
stairs.
Every family wants to have an at
tractive living room; the need for a
dining room is not so essential. Among
the families that are able to afford
only small houses an increasing num-
Der prefer to have large living room,
and to use one end Of it for eating,
with perhaps a breakfast alcove to
be used at the morning meal and occa-
sionally for lunch.
With well-arranged kitchen (and
1t takes plenty of time and study to
develop one) mother can prepare
better food for her children, feel less
fatigued at meal time and have more
time to spend with her children and
for other activities.
"The more sunlight the better" is a
good rule for house. Many small
houses are built nowadays with an
enclosed sun porch, which is valu-
able addition when 1t can be afforded.
Good ventilation in a small house is
not hard to obtain during cold wealth
err, when all that is needed in sin
gle room is to open the window a few
inches.

Second Floor Plan.

The exterior of the home is made
attractive by the wide front porch
which extends the width of the house
and Is eight feet deep, the dormer in
the roof and the exposed rafters of the
porch roof The house is of frame con-
struction and has large basement,
which is of the same dimensions as
the house.
The living room extends across the
front of the house and is unusually
large, 26 feet, inches long, and 13
feet wide. Connected with it by a
double-cased opening is the dining
room, II feet, 6 inches, by II feet, ex-
elusive of the deep bay window. At the
back are the kitchen and washroom,
while off hall reached through the
dining room are two bedrooms, with a
bathroom between.
Upstairs are two good-sized bed
rooms, an alcove room in the dormer
and bathroom.

Wrought Iron Used
More in Decorating

Wrought iron has become increas-
ingly important in home decoration of
late, and not only in the plan of the
modern house itself-in lighting fix
lures, grill doors, etc.-but in the fur
nishings of that home. Whole pieces
of occasional furniture are now being
developed in wrought iron; among
them telephone sets, console tables,
coffee tables and small chairs.
Wrought-iron lamp bases. candeIabra,
smoking stands and plant stands, too,
have refreshing notes to add to mod
ern interiors.

Bathroom and Kitchen
Need Special Attention

Too often, in planning a home, the
bathroom and kitchen are neglected.
Yet these rooms, almost more than
other places, should possess an air Of
refinement and sanitation which will
leave its Impress upon every one who
enters them.
You perhaps have admired and en-
We'd bathrooms and kitchens in the
homes of friends, but did not realize
that equally artistic and practical eff
fects could be secured in your own
home at comparatively little cost.

economic advantage is adding to the
numberfconstantly. The Standard OIL
Co. of New Jersey estimates that two
such trains In operation in New Jer-
sey in the last year have saved them
$37, 900 in the transport of gasoline to
filling stations on the road between
Jersey City and Philadelphia, as COM
pared with what would have been
paid for rail transportation.
Little Loss to Railroads.
These trains consist of a truck and
trailer, each with two tanks. AT
strategic points tanks are dropped on
and left to be emptied while the train
goes on. On the return trip each
empty is picked up in turn. This has
meant no real loss to the railroads,
since short haul freight of this char
acter has produced comparatively IT.
tie net revenue and the rail carriers
have been able to move additional
trains Of more profitable freight.
The roar of the huge merchandise
trucks and trailers through the sub
urban districts has already become a
subject of complaint, and this Is an
other factor which has emphasized
the use Of lighter trucks. Most OF the
latter are equipped with pneumatic
tires and shaft drives and make far
less noise than the Chain-driven, solid
tired vehicles.
OF course, for materials of extreme
weight. the larger trucks cannot be

handling their check to the pace OF

drivers of the Fifth Avenue busses

LIGHT, FAST TRUCK
NOW IS IN DEMAND.
Big vehices Being Forced
From Road by Rules Check
ing Road Congestion.
BY j. c. ROYLE.

NEW YORK. October 26-"Rules
of the road" are revolutionizing the
truck industry and truck traffic
Trucks must now keep up with the
procession. This has become Obliga-
tory because of the demand for speedy
transportation of goods and as a
measure of safety affecting motorists
OF all kinds. AS result there has
come a sudden and imperative de-
nand for lighter trucks, with more
engine f1eXibility and greater ease in
handling in heavy traffic.
Roads are becoming more and more
congested, both with freight and pas
senger travel. State, county and
municipal authorities are speeding up
the pace. 1t is as much an error of
driving today to run slower than the
traffic stream as to run at reckless
speed. The motor cycle officer, who
draws up alongside car on a we'll
travelled road. is as likely to shout
Step on it" or Keep moving" as
to hand out a sumomnS for exceeding
the speed limit.
Trucks Block Roads.
Trucks have not been keeping the
road pace. AS a result long lines of
cars have been blocked. Traffic au-
thorities have found that out of 10
accidents of the road occur as a re-
suit Of cars attempting to pass slow
moving vehicles in the face of
stream of traffic in the opposite di-
reCtion.
Many truck manufacturers, there
fore, believe the heavy four and i've
ton trucks are passing, both for in
terurban and urban traffic. Trans
porters Of freight by motor are sub
stituting lighter vehicles of more
speed and fleXibility, which can keep
the pace" 1t is significant that the
cost of operation does not seem to
count in comparison with speed. Com
panies operating lines Of freight
trucks between cities say they would
rather be able to offer speedy delivery
than cheap delivery. NJ. J. O'Mera,
one of the executives of the White
Motor Co., says it is this tendency
which has brought about the devel-
oprnent Of the siX-cylinder bus now 60
ing into quantity production.
1T is now acknowledged" said Mr..
O'Mera. that the saturation point in
automobile bus and truck sales is the
saturation point of the highways and
streets Of this country. Consequently,
everything possible must be done by
motor manufacturers to extend the
capacity of the highways. Speed,
t1eXibility, and careful, but expert
driving, are working to that end"
The development Of truck trains
with a motor truck and one, two or
more trailers. is emphasizing the de-
mand for maintenance Of pace. The
roads of New York, Connecticut, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania and Ohio are
roaring to the rumble of these trains,
which it is difficult to pass. Their

THE BUSINESS OF GETTING
AHEAD.
Legitimate Objectives of Thrift.

Some individuals deprive themselves
of current luXurieS and save money
hecause they crave the social prestige
of being wealthy. Others are eco
nomical because they helghten thelf
self esteem by being thrifty. Ordl-
rarily these psychological motives TOT
savings are overlooked by students or
folk ways in the realm OF finance, but
they are none the less real.
Young people who are beginning to
Law out their financial schedules
should save for specific objectives.
rather than for vague goals. Saving
To get enough to get married to girl
ho has already chosen Is one or the
common motives which starts young
man on the road to financial 1nde-
rendence. Such a clear, tangible pur-
nose, reinforced by strong emotion.
is infinitely more effective than alb
stract preachments.
What other human goals ought TO
determine the investment program OF
the ordinary individual? What OBJ
iect;yes are legitimate and justify the
sacrifice that thrift entails?
Many Human Motives.
No single list can include the in
finite varieties of human motive. How
ever. a few Of the leading consdera-
tionS. which are likely to be of uni1
yersal appeal, may be enumerated.
First: The building up Of fund to
finance retirement is a common OBJ
ieCtive of investors.
Second: A thrift fund should also be
available to take care of emergencies,
such as sickness. operations, unem-
plovment Of the head of the family
and his dependents. or premature
death. Savings might we'll be supple
mented by the carrying of health, ac-
cjdent and life insurance policies.
Third: An investment structure is
frequently planned to provide the
means for education and travel. either
for the saver or for close relatives.
Fourth: An investment fund Is
sometimes created out Of savings
from salaries of employees. who have
an ambition later to so into business
on their own.
Saving for the Home.
Fifth: Saving enough for the first
navment on a home is a common mo-
tive in economic life. Similar influ
ences induce thrift to make possible
an automobile, a piano or other high
nrjced articles for home use. Even
If these commodities are purchased
on the installment plan. substantial
first pavment must be made. How
ever. when goods are purchased on
the partial payment plan. the bulk of
the saving must be done after the
commodity has been acquired.
Sixth: Prudent men also build UP
an estate as a. reserve against specula-
