0ne-Room Cabin Serves
! As Woodland Hide-ouf

have a second home, no matter how
modest, back-to-nature retreat Sc
cluded from telephones, traffic,
neighbors and other distractions

around in his undershirt II he feels
like it.
The size, shape and convenience
Of such hide-out are usually of
little consequence. A one-room
cabin may serve the purpose.
Such a summer ESTATE" is within
the reach of almost every family.
In fact, Dad rather fancies himself
as a handyman with hammer and
saw, and, under his direction, the
family can do the bulk of the con-
struction work itself.
Your lumber dealer doubtless has
selection of stock plans of simple
summer cottages. After placing the
foundation, which usually consists
OF few low-cost piers, such as con-
crete blocks set in footings, the
framing of building of this kind
is seldom more than two days work
Tor couple of good carpenters.
The rest of the construction is often
simple, hammer-and-saw carpentry.
Inc placing of the siding is. not
dlfflcult; neither is shingling the
roof and laying the floors. Almost
any man handy with tools can finish
the job once it has been framed.

Record Looms Reported
By Savings Associations

When savings, building and loan
associations recorded their April &C
Invites. they found they had loaned
S120 .631 900, more money than at
any time since their records began
to be kept by the month, the United
States Savings and Loan League
reported today. For the first time
in the last II years, 40 per cent of
their loans were for the purchase
of homes, and nearly S50000,000
was disbursed for this purpose.
In comparison with April, 1910,
the gain in loan volume disbursed
for all purposes was lit per cent
and the increase over March this
year was 14.7 per cent. The closest
month in dollar volume in recent
years was August of last year, when
s117000,000 was loaned. April was
the 29th successive month in which
loans volume was greater than the
same month Of the preceding year

If you are annoyed and irritated
every time you step into your house
during the hot weather, the chances
are that it Is fussy looking-that
there is too much of everything
and if you could just sweep it all
out you might be happy.
But don't do it. What it really
needs is just bit of sorting out.

Rail to Link Argentine
And Bolivian Oil Fields

AS soon as treaty signed by
Bolivia and Argentina is ratified
work will begin on a railway which
will link the two countries and
speed the development of an impor-
tart oil region. A pipe line will be
laid between Bermejo and Oran,
and drilling for wells will start in
the Samantha oil fields, it is re-
ported in La Paz, Bolivia. 1t is esti-
mated that within two years the
Yacuiba Santa Cruz-Sucre railway
line will have been carried to a
point only IS miles from the Argen-
tina-Bolivia frontier. 1t is believed
the line will begin paying for it
self as soon as it is opened, as it
will serve an Oil zone through which
at present the oil produced is car
ried by motor transport.

Waterproof Basement
Helps Eliminate
Housing Grief
Suggestions Are Given
On Proper Methods
Of Drainage

Basement waterproofing, vital
factor in the comfort and trouble
free life of a home, depends upon
the climate, the condition of the
soil, disposal of water from the roof,
and the elevation of the building.
If the height of the basement is well
chosen, it will 60 far toward keeping
1t dry. Houses situated in light,
well-drained soil have been known
to require no further protection,
but such houses are the exception.
Houses not provided with wide,
overhanging caves should have gut
tiers and downspouts to carry off
roof drainage. Splash blocks OF
ma sonry or concrete should be pro-
vided at the bottom of each down.
spout. sloped to carry the water
several feet away from the house,
and the slope of the ground should
carry it further. Where the ground
does not slope in the right direction
naturally, underground drain tile
should be extended from the bottom
of the downspout to lower point
on the lot.
Tile Around Foundation Helps.
Provision for drainage of the sub
soil around underground masonry
should also be made. A line of tile
around the outside of the founda-
ton, laid with open joints covered
on top and surrounded by gravel
or cinder fill, is an effective means
of preventing accumulation of water
along the outside of the foundation.
The tile must be sloped from high
point to empty into a dry well,
storm drain or spot lower than
the bottom of foundation footings.
A smooth troweled coat of water
proof cement applied to the wall
from the ground line down to the
footing, covered when dry with
hot brush coat of asphalt, provides
adequate water resistance for the
wall in most cases.
Bed for Floor Suggested.
Basement floors are often laid
directly on the ground. Better in
surance against dampness is gained
by laying them on a bed of gravel
or cinders in which several sloping
lines of open tile have been run,
connected to pass under the footing
and drain away from the house.
The joint between the basement
floor and exterior wall and post
piers should be kept open by in
sorting a piece of oiled, bevel siding
against the wall before placing the
floor, and removed when the floor
has set. The resulting V crack
filled with hot asphalt will fur
nish an effective and elastic seal,
and take up expansion and con-
traction without cracking the floor.

Pipe Price Fight Brings
CITY Water SHORTAGE

Because the Municipal Council
haggled over 5 per cent in the cost
Of steel pipe, Port Elizabeth, South
Africa, Is short Of water. The pipe
was to bring water of Kromme
River 10 miles to the city. The
situation arose primarily from the
torpedoing by U-boat of the Clan
Stuart months ago.
The ship was carrying the needed
pipes, contracted for before the war.
When the manufacturers were
asked to duplicate the shipment
they raised the price 5 per cent
The dispute which resulted went
on until the British government
rationed steel, and Port Elizabeth
could not be supplied at any price.

back to shoot the Bruins into Sc

because of Woody Dumart's knee
injury and showed into Dumart's

to working with his new line

In the extra session, Cain got
