PRODUCTION OF HOME
is MANY-SIDED PROBLEM
Questions of Financing and Plan
ming of Dwelling Are I'm
portant Features.
By ROBERT #. BERESFORD.

The production of a home for Mr..
Average American Citizen is a many
sided problem. The question Of what
IS the most economical way Of financ-
ing the work is one Of vital impor-
tance.
Another matter that should receive
the most careful consideration is the
planning of the house or houses; that
IS, the location of the house on the
lot in the most advantageous posi-
lion, the location of rooms of the
house in relation to such factors as
the best exposure to the sunlight and
the prevailing winds privacy from
the neighboring houses and from
street traffic, and the tying together
IF the rear yard or garden space with
the house to make it most useful
It would be a great advantage to
al prospective home owners If they
could acquire a knowledge of the
fundamentals Of home building; IL
they could understand the difference
between a well planned house and a
carelessly planned house, between a
well constructed house and a poorly
constructed house, and il they could
have firstthand information about the
many other matters in connection
with the building or the maintenance
of a home.

Actual Mobilization.

Nicaragua was also accomplished by
the establishment of neutral zones.
With incredible recklessness, our gov

to involve our country in an oil war
with Mexico. New York workers

To Protect Foreigners.
The Nationalist government
