areas. Also, when you try to save
q penny, watch out for dormer win
dows, abutting roofs, bay windows
and porches with all the complica-
tions Of caves. flashing, drainage and
similar details that take precision,
care and time-and consequently
money.
Just Warning.
This does not mean that you must
build your house like q box and
eschew all the datails which will
make you happy in your new home.
It does mean that you understand
something Of costs and savings and
not be fooled into getting them
mixed, so that In the finished prod
uct you have the things that you
have always wanted at the price
you intended to pay. 1t is seldom
wise to defer until later date any
of the structural changes which you
cannot now afford. 1t will be ex-
pensive and destructive to the gen.
eral plan If it means tearing down
to construct. Outside appendages
may wait, such as garages, wings,
ellis, grading and planting. But plan
in one operation all the general
structural plan to go under your
roof.
If you have always wanted q
paneled room but cannot exc 1t out
Of the first cost, that may come at
a later date and you may settle for
colorful wall board for the present
which will act later as insulation
and backing for the paneling.
Buy Plumbing Carefully.
Plywood and wall board are ex-
cellent for walls. but they are not
not inexpensive If painted or fin
ished, as other labor charges bring
them up to the cost of standard
wall finishes. However, if you want
to stain, or paint, or use these tenn
porarily las is"-they may be fin-
ished at a later period.
Save on plumbing by moderation

All of us love to practice our little
economies, and some Of us love to
indulge In great extravaganceS. but
few of us are able to tell, every time.
just where one stops and the other
begins. Many of our exciting bar
gains become luxuries in installation,
upkeep or operation, and many Of
the purchases that it took all the
courage and soup diet to justify
at first cost pay dividends through
the years. In house remodeling and
construction this is ever true.
One of the most glaring and costly
mistakes many of us make is in try
ing to make new materials look old,
or refinish old materials to look new.
In nine cases out of 10 we are
licked before we start. The finished
job has neither the charm of the
old nor the efficiency of the new.
If you want brick house. consider
your wishes and the costs at the
same time. You may get used brick
at about a quarter of the price of
best new brick Laid up carefully
and treated against absorption on
the inside, it will save you money
and give you a very gratifying
variegated rosy color that cannot
be acquired in new brick. But If
you want it to look new and paint
it, your extra labor and extra ma
terial will bring it up to the cost
of new brick. You will also be dis
appointed if you lay your house up
in new brick and then try to sand
blast it to get the antique effect, as
there will continue to be a uniform
color and newness in spite of your
effort to soften it. If you want the
trim newness and efficiency of brick,
buy new brick and achieve your
desire in one operation. If you want
little house in the traditional style
OF the 18th century with plan and
location that is suited, used brick
will fall right into the whole idea
very nicely and be wise economy.
Be Wise in Used Lumber.
1t is possible to save as much as
so per cent on the lumber bill which
becomes almost per cent saving

lection of used lumber but 1t

must be wise. There Is the great
advantage of getting seasoned ma
terials that will not shrink, but
again it must be selection that fits
into the plans Of your house. The
purchase of doors, panelling, stair
rails and fireplace facings. no mat
ter how lovely, that are out Of scale
and period with your plans, will
rise up to smite you every time you
come in the door. However, good
used structural timber is a wise
investment and the use Of panelling
and detail that fits into the interior
plan of your house has an aesthetic
value that may not be measured,
and charm difficult to obtain with
new materials.
You may make substantial saw
ings on your house by planning the
size of rooms to utilize standard
lengths in lumber. Lumber comes
in lengths Of an even number Of
feet. A 12-foot joist gives a room
II feet inches wide, 14-foot stick
13-feet 4-inch width. A 6-inch lower
ceiling saves in cost Of walls, plas-
ter, stairs, heating and plumbing.
This is a substantial saving If by
so doing you may still get the effect
that you want.

DECORATION DAY

(From International Molders' JournaD
Decoration Day is day set aside to
pay homage to those defenders of our
nation who have passed to peaceful
rest, some as a result of natural
causes, others through wounds re-
ceived on the field of battle.
1t is also day on which we can pay
a tribute to those in the industrial
army who have answered the roll call
and gone to their celestial home. This
vast army of workers, who through
their integrity to the cause of labor
made it possible for us to enjoy some
of the privileges that in their day
were only for a selected group, should
never be forgotten.
Sometime during Decoration Day,
if you can do so, make trip to the
grave of one of our deceased mem
bers and lay thereon a small flower
or flag as token of remembrance. If
you cannot do this, then pause brief
moment and offer up a silent prayer
of thankfulness for the part he played
in labor's march. You will feel better
after doing so.

House Kills Changes
In Wage-HOurs Act

Washington, d. C.-The House killed
for this session any legislation to
amend the Wages and Hours Act
when it voted, 2O5 to IT'S, to recon-
nit the original labor committee bill,
which had proposed mild changes in
the law.
This coup de grace was admins
tered after the House had first killed
by vote of 211 to III substitute
bill which had been amended virtually
out of recognition. Another substi-
tute, which had been similarly treated,
previously had been rejected.
The House action was distinct
victory for the American Federation
of Labor which opposed any amend
ment of the Wage-Hour Act at this
session.
