pretty much alike = but when you start pound

Here Is 4 statement from an
architect that bears directly on
heme building and which, IL car
ried out, win give the home build
or many hours Of pleasure and
profit.
.Do you want to have some fun
about your home building? I can
tell YOU way I discovered III plan
ming to build my own home.
AS It happens, am an architect.
But building D home for myself 81
exactly the same kind OF experience
for me as II Ii for you. The same
hopes and fears 80 10 how things
are going to turn out are Just as
keen In my mind as they are with
you, and since there Is no absolute
solution to the problem, building
my own home Ii almost as diff
cult to me as though ! had never
other peoples houses.
Where the Fun Comes In
Perhaps you think that All the
little devices now being nnanufac-
tured TO make houses more inter
esting and more beautiful would
be known to me, but ] must con-
Tess they are not. Some OF them
do know, Il Is true, but manufac-
turers are steadily offering new
products. Now the only way /
can keep Ia touch with them II
through the manufacturers them
selves. / knew I would want some
Of them in my home, and this Ii
where the fun came IN.
"All during this past year, when
an interesting catalogue came
across my desk, have put Il Id my
drawer. Now the drawer u over
crowded and another Ii being
filled. There are stories on water
heaters. Here is one on special
wall finishes and new types Of
metal lath. Here Is another show
ing methods OF staining floors, and
still another on plank floors that
are beautiful beyond words.
know my family win be interested
In this gorgeous showing Of sinks
and dish washing machines. 9th
ers illustrating slate and shingle
roofs are going to give me 4 tre-
mendous struggle. Both are 20
beautiful that do not know which
to use.
which Ones Are worthy
sOf course an architect does
have little advantage over the
home builder In that he can choose
between publications that he would
save and those he would discard.
Some simply do not relate to any
problem we have, and q few 9TH
ers offer shoddy and inadequate
materials, designed for show and
not for service.
You can get any number OF
handsome catalogues by writing
the manufacturers for them
want to warn you though not to
take for granted everything you
read. There are plenty Of honest
manufacturers and honest products.
When you get your catalogues to-
gether, find b technically trained
man and ask him to help You de-
eide which are the worthy ones.
tIf you do not want TO be en-
ticed, do not follow this scheme.
You viii see more beauttfuI ana
luxurious things for the home than
YOU thought could exist. Many
win Sc beyond your means, and
eo YOU will have to weigh and
choose, but II ii d way to spend
many happy hour with your home
building dreams, giving them ma
terial quality that IL even better
than one which is wholly OF the
castle ii the air type. hope
you win enjoy IL. = Copyright 1928

QWhat can be done 70 IN

A--Have ali the loose mortar
rafed out and then have them re-
pointed with good portland cement
mortar. II you wish to plaster the
walls, first rake out the loose NOR
tar and brush off loose stone work.
If stones are generally soft and
crumbIlng, we recommend you run
q light wire reinforcing over them
before plastering.
Kindly INFORM me If it II
entirely practical to have q
basement under only part of the
house. Also, what are the
comparative merits Of the So
called pipeless furnace with

basement YOU can probably make
better loan and undoubtedly
have better property for resale.
As to the furnace types, IL IS clear
that one with q pipe to each room
is B more complete installation, in-
suring enuaIized distribution Of the
heat and getting & to all Of the
pipe1ess furnace it is necessary to
install transorns over doors and
vents IN the bottoms Of doors, and
to have some form Of auxiliary
heater or . special pipe for the
bathroom.
QThe down spcuta from
our house are simply run down
into the ground about = foot
deep with elbows at the hOtkom
for about six feet Every time
It rains there Is . large area
around the end Of the pipe
that gets swampy. There r.
bad hole in the ground, and
that corner Of the basement
wall is wet What is the cor
rect way Of taking care Of
down spOuts2
A-Such down spOuts as you de-
scribe are sure to be source Of
trouble. For one thing they win
rust out I'm d comparatively short
time. Then you win have more
trouble; probably water win
come through the basement wall.
The permanent correction il to
connect them to tile drains and
carry them to the sewer. A cheap
er method is to set an elbow ct the
base Of the down spout 20 that Il
turns out above the ground and
empties onto q splash block that
carries the water away from the
wall.
Q-Can you get the most
room for your Investment by
building on one floor or two?
Are cinder blocks practical
when used above ground with
stucco used on the outside and
plastered directly on the inside?
When trains 70 through this
community practically everyone
notices the vibration. Would It
be practical to build 3 house Of
stuccO, brick or stone, or would
this vibration in time cause
crumbling Of the mortar2
A--A two story house Is usually
less expensive than bungalow, all
other things being equal. You can
plaster and stucco directly on cin-
der blocks provided the mortar
Joint is broken. II there Is any
question about this, the inside walls
should be furred for plaster. The
vibration you speak Of would have
no practical effect on q well built

u Choice E Of Plans.
From the Same
Exterior

|uERE Is an example Of two ex-
II tremely fine plans with an
equally fine exterior, with adjust
ment In the plans to meet the spe-
cial requirements Of certain home
builders. Both are good.
In the plan at the right there are
three bedrooms In q five-roon1
bungalow. That means the dining
accommodations had to be cut
down. One of the interesting mer-
its Of this plan Is that the front
bedroom, with ready access from
the entry without going through the
rest Of the house, and with its own
plumbing fixtures, could be rented
without inconvenience. This would
provide some extra revenue for the
time being and later on the inner
rear bedroom could be converted
into q dining room.
Construction: Working drawings
provide for both hollow tile exterior
walls with exterior finish Of stucco.
and wood frame walls with stucco
on metal lath. Root of tile.
Designed for south or east facing.
May be reversed for other facings.
Size of lot: Approximately so feet.

Three herds of performing ele-

Jumbo is able to follow the music

Trainers had a difficult task in
breaking in an act in which a prize
tiger rides on the back of the ele
plant Clara, as these two animals
are natural enemies, and the en-
nifty goes back thousands of years.
Six months training twice daily,
was necessary before the elephant
would allow the tiger to mount on
her back, and even now she is not
pleased about having the cat ami
nal ride around the steel arena in
a howdah.
The three herds of elephants
are not only worked in the rings
but they must assist in putting up

the heavy wagons, especially the
