I was ready to admit right then and
there that you can teach an old dog new
smoke-tricks. When the train pulled in
at the station, l bought me tidy red tin
of P. A. for myself. Since then, I've
thrown away enough empties to make a
fair-sized tin garage.
Maybe you think that you are all set
on smoke-program. l just want to
leave this thought with you: until you
have smoked P. A., you have no idea
of how that old pipe of yours can per-
form with real tobacco. Give Prince
Albert chance in your jimmy.pipe.

wa q
revelation
to me !!

FOR long time, | wouldn't admit that
anybody could tell me anything about
tobacco. I was satisfied with the brand
I Twas smoking. At lease,,I thought | was.
And then one day, I borrowed pipe
load of Prince Albert from a fellow
passenger in the stnoking-car.
To make long story short, that ex-
perience revised all my previous notions
about tobacco. The very first puff told
me that I had been missing something
good up till that moment. 1t was cool
and refreshing as a breath of mountain
air. It was sweet and fragrant.

Concrete Tile Is Good
Support for Partitions

Concrete tile is being used more ex-
tensively every year for backup walls
and partitions. They can be effective
~ tied into the masonry Of the fac
ing wall, making an exceptionally
strong. fre-resistant wall.
Thousands of independent, profit
able businesses are being built up all
over the United States to supply con-
crete masonry products. All that is re-
quired Ia plentiful supply Of good
clean sand and gravel, the necessary
cement and molding equipment suited
to local needs. Many builders require
q sufficient supply Of masonry prod.
ucts to make It profitable to have
their own equipment for block and
tile making.
Concrete products Of today are far
stronger and more uniform than those
Of even a decade ago. Much has been
learned in regard to the selection Of
proper materials, the proportions to
use, the proper mixing and curing.
Precast units which are made from
concrete carefully mixed, nodded and
cured by experienced concrete work
ers are nearly always superior In
quality to monolithic concrete poured
on the job.

First Floor Plan.

The design is characterized by sim
plicity throughout, simplicity which
is almost severe but leaves no dis
agreeable taste because Of the excel
lent valance and lines. The construc-
ton is completely in harmony with the
design. Full frame construction with
wide siding and wooden shingles
seems the only appropriate thing for
this house and the stone, already men,
toned, effectively ties 1t to the ground,
Of which 1t seems q part.

is an attractive feature all too infre-
Quently seen In the present-day houses

Architecture Is Now
Essential Profession

1t 10 all very well for the United
States to lead the world in athletics,
In industry, and in many other ways |;
but when all is said and done, these
hOnOrs are passing; they are tempo
rary at best, and In another hundred
years or less viii perhaps have been
forgotten as some newer and more
vigorous nation FORCES to the front.
But there are other and more perma-
nent monuments to the genius Of the
American nation, and one Of the most
important Of these 10 our architecture.
Few people except those in the pro-
fession itself, or In professions closely
allied to 1t, realize what great strides
our architecture has made In recent
years. So rapid and 30 excellent has
our progress been that today we are
virtually leading the world in archi-
lecture. Not, perhaps, that we can
compare ourselves with the golden
age Of the cathedrals Of England or
the chateaux OF France, but today we
are far and away, when 1t comes to
building, the most energetic and pro-
gressive of nations. Our public build
ings, our skyscrapers, our churches,
and, lastly, our homes, are improving
each year.
