TELLS PLAN TO BAR
EXTRAS IN BUILDING
Home Owners Institute Official
Urges Careful Architectural Su-
pervision of Specifications.
BY ARTHUR BATES LINCOLN,
Home Owners Institute, Inc.

AS soon as man signs contract
with a builder for the construction of
his home his friends rally around him
and counter his optimism on the fine
contract he has just closed with the
dread cry wait until you see the ex-
traS" What are the facts on the ques-
ton of extras?
There are two sides to this question,
Just as there are with every other ques-
tion. There has been much propa-
ganda against the extra" based almost
entirely upon the premise that all
extras are "hold-ups" Where plans are
carelessly drawn and specifications
loosely worded the field is ripe for an
unscrupulouS contractor.
With full knowledge that the house
cannot be built as called for by plans
ana specifications, such man will f1g-
ure how to obtain the contract. Step
BY step as the house goes up the owner
has to pay for this extra item, that
addition and those other essentials TO
the safe construction and proper finish
of his home which were not required
by strict Interpretation of the plans and
will not be added by the contractor
without extra remuneration. The safe
guard against this deplorable prospect
is to build only with plans and specl-
fcations prepared by an experienced
architect.
There is little said about the other
side of the question. but it is an i'm
portaut one for the home owner. The
plans and specifications may be COM
iolete TO the last nail, absolutely assur-
ing the owner a sound investment. "A
home is built to live in, however, and
should incorporate all the convenlences
of living which the owner considers
desirable.
With an inexperienced eye not train
ed IN reading plans and therefore laole
10 r,;sunderStand, the owner may often
think that some feature he wants m
cluded and only learn that 1t IS not
when the construction has reached the
stage when such an item should oe
This is a ticklish stage in the build
ing. but the fair-minded owner VIII
readily appreciate that the builder can
not be expected to add an item requlr-
ing additional cost and labor without
remuneration. 1t is question Tor tne
owner to decide whether the item
worth to him the cost proposed by tne
builder for its inclusion in the house.

Above all else high success re- quires one to have won valuable prize by some personal achieve ment. All America went wild over the achievement of the Ger mans and 1rishman who made the first westward flight across the Atlantic. No American remem- bcred how he felt about a Gel man ten years ago, and there was no possible trace of prejudice against an Irlshman anywhere.
 Prize winning eliminates hatred and prejudice as doe5 nothing else. There is no appreciation like that created by prize winning and no price is too great in dem onstrating appreciation of prize winning.

BOSTON, June 16-The success of young man industrially, com mercially or professionally is a personal achievement more than it was even six years ago. A much larger proportion of those who are to be day laborers will be skilled laborers, and | much larger percentage of those who choose a professional career will be in the upper tenth of their class in high school or college.
 Whoever achieves success must win appreciation, must establish confidence, must attain persona distinction Three words repre- sent these accomplishments. They have come from common origin. They are Praise, Price and Prize
 Whoever wins praise has won the appreciation as an asset in dealing with human nature. A dog knows when he wags his tai he will have a different reception than when he snarls. Smiles have a different value than frown.
 Any talent that can establish it's price is success. A nation is in an entirely different class when it's money is on a gold basis than when it is at a discount. Na one is success in any line of business who has failed to estab fish credit in his market. One must have demonstrated both ability and reliability. That is the price of success.
