NEED ATTACHED GARAGES
FOR MODERN RESIDENCES
Home Builders Appreciate Value
and Convenience of Inhuilt
Space for Auto.

Within the last two or three years
there have been several items in house
planning formerly considered luXuries
which nov become almost necessities.
One OF these to which we must give
careful attention is the household ga

Because automobiles were first housed
in barns, the early garages. in imi-

AT the present time. there is strong

gladioluS is wonderful flower that de-
serves consideration from every home
gardener. Perhaps one trouble is that
the fiNe new varieties are slow to reach
reasonable prices. Some of the new
hybrid forms are exceedingly dainty
and attractive. Above all. there is no
flower easier TO grow

A new problem presents itself with
the attached garage. The fire hazard

Of suburban communities have estab-

These rules usually require that the
garage be separated from the remainder
Of the house by masonry walls, or at
least that fire-resistant material cover
the walls and that all openings from
the other parts OF the house be closed
with metal-covered doors, Windows
must usually be glazed with wire glass.
The ceiling protection is very impor-
tant. A very strict code may require
