Today's building costs will seem

Alfred Shaw of Chicago, director of
the American Institute of Archi-

velopments erected now-if prop
erly planned and spaced-will

'"The housing program" said Mr..

Accurate List Of Dates.
When you have made complete
study of your present coverage make
sure that you have an accurate list
of their expiration dates. Be sure
to see that all your policies are
properly countersigned by the in
surance agent.
You are now ready to revise your
present insurance so that you will
build a perfect protection plan for
your home at the lowest possible
cost. You must know how to shop
for this-just as you do for beds,
linens or shoes. You must know
certain fundamentals before you can
shop intelligently. In this case they
are simple, and only two. You must
know what you have to insure. You
must know what policies are avail
able to give you proper protection.

or neighbors, businessmen and serv-
ants.
2. Then your house, protection for
your home and its contents. Take
complete inventory of the con-
tents Of your house, from cellar to
attic, and base your estimate on
that. If you have ever refurnished
a house for any reason, you will
remember that you take for granted

usual coverage is $4,000 for injuries
to one person (on or because of your
property. This limit may or may
not be sufficient, depending upon
your means Injured parties will
sue you according to your obvious
wealth rather than the extent of
their injury. If your bank account
or the elegance" of your home is
sufficient to impress a sob-sister
jury, follow the advice of your in
Surance man and raise the limits of
your liability high enough for your
protection. Find out from him how
expensive the bites of your dog are
likely to be on and off your premises,
and what liability you have for
servants and Workmen on your
place. An ordinary residence liza
bility policy does not cover against
injury to servants while pursuing
their duties in your house. Make
sure that you fully understand about
this.
Three Burglary assurances.
There are three types of burglary
insurance, and it is amazing how
often you do not happen to have
the right kind. These are resi-
dence burglary, theft and larceny
insurance. The first-the broad
form, covers all your valuables in
a lump. The second insures only
specifically named items. The third
is combination policy that covers
specifically named items in one por-
ton of the policy such as jewelry
and furs, and general personal be-
longingS such as clothing, money
and furnitures in another. The
chances are you have the first,
broad form. Most people buy it
though it is usually the most ex-
pensive. Ask the insurance man if
you are getting the best protection
this way or if you could save money
on the combination policy and still
get protection. And-just a thought
does your burglary insurance cover
your summer home? Have you per-
sonal "hold-up" insurance?
Then there are all sorts of special
types of insurance which cover ex-
pensive cameras, musical instru-
ments, fine arts or personal jewelry,
insurance on your heating plant or
other valuable installation Are
these properly covered and-just as
important-are you paying for over
tapping policies? For instance-we
will assume that you have fire ana
burglary insurance on the contents
OF your home. Furthermore, you
have jewelry and fur "all-risk"
policy. This protects your jewelrv

GureIing and Dripping
Pipes Can Be Cured

The sound of waste water CUR
Cling through the soil pipes be-
tween the partitions is Objectionable
to most home owners and need not
be tolerated.
The noise is overcome by insulat-
ing the soil pipes with a pipe COW
ering.
Sweating pipes in the basement
sometimes prevent use OF that space
as recreation room. workshop or
laundry. Cold-water lines covered
with non-sweat insulation will not
drip. Soil pipe insulation has to be
done before walls are closed and
plastered, but dripping pipes are
easily reached and can be corrected.

Rail Urged for Safety
On Cellar Stairs

Cellar stairs deserve more consid-
Grafton than they have been receiv-
ing. Despite the fact that cellar
stairs bear more heavy loads than
other stairs in the house, they are
frequently constructed in a careless
manner.
While cellar stairs need not be
finished as we'll as the main stairs,
they should be given as much con-
sideration as far as safety and use
are concerned. A railing and ade-
quate head room are the two main
factors to remember.
