There Is a floor plan showing tha space for Im plements amt machines, which is ap proximately 30 feet by 34 feet. At one end Is the stable floor which has been divided in tj a feed room, stalls tai Modern farms have two sources of power— the tractor and horses. Trac tors and the machinery and Imple ments which they haul cost money ami the investment In this equipment on most farms is considerable. However a great many farmers desire to sup pleinent their mechanical power with horses. Both have to be housed. In the accompanying illustration is shown a design tot » combination horse barn and machinery shed with a second or mow floor for the storage o f roughage for the horses and for other live stock on the farm. This is a most unusual farm build ing. However, the idea used by the architect who designed this building will appeal to' a great many farmers whose equipment is extensive and who also maintain a few head o f horses. The details o f the interior o f the first Concrete Floor Will Not Warp or Settle Although It Is subjected to more and harder usage than any other struc tural part o f the house, the first floor usually gets a minimum o f attention. As long as it holds up and the sur face remains reasonably Intact, It Is given little or no thought by the house owner. Not that a floor should be a con stant care— far from It But. unlesa it ia a good, sound affair It may easily become a hazard and a source o f vari ous kinds o f trouble. A floor has two purposes. First, It must provide a strong, non-squeak ing surface fo r walking feet and for furniture; if it Is also beautiful, so much the better. Second, a good floor serves to tie the fram e o f a house securely together, adding strength to resist high winds and to minimize the evils o f warping a n j settling— evils which ruin the hang o f doors and windows. A third function has recently been added to the other two. The modern floor must protect the occupants and furnishings o f the house from the haz ards o. fire. A large proportion •1 residence fires originate In basements, in the vicinity o f the furnace, fuel stores, laundry atovea and heaps o f “ odds und ends" which, almost inevitably, accumulate below stairs. A pile o f old aod oily four horses and a harness room. A cross-sectional view o f this barn will give those fam iliar with building, a good idea of how it Is constructed and o f the types and dimensions o f the ma terials used. There also is a cross- section o f one o f the stalls. There is an old saying that more farm machinery rusts out than wears out. There is one good way to keep it from rusting out and that Is to clean it thoroughly, grease the polished steel or iron parts, and put it away where It la safe from the weather when It Is not in use. That is the idea o f this building— to provide a safe weather proof Louse fo r the machinery and also a place where it can be cleaned and cared for. rags can be the source o f a fire with out any outside assistance. And a fire, once started, tenda to work its way upward. I f there Is a definite flre-stop, a barrier beyond which fire cannot climb, the home is given an initial and vital protection from fire Recent experience on the part of progressive home builders has shown that the principle o f tne concrete floor, is used in commercial buildings such as hotels, hospitals and skyscrapers, can be applied with great success and economy to the small Louse. Such floors perform all the func tions o f the perfect floor. They are structurally strong, thereby ellmlnat Ing costly warping and sagging— not to mention squeaking. The upper sur face may be finished in any desired fashion. Conventional wood flooring may be placed over them snugly and without danger o f distortion. T ile or linoleum has been used repeatedly. In some cases the upper surface o f the con crete Itself hag been stained and pol ished to produce a truly beautiful color. And the concrete Is fire safe, n dis tinct asset from every point o f view. But, however the modem first floor is built. It should be considerably more Important than a mere surfnee for walking or one from which the rugs may be rolled when there's music and somebody waiting to dance. Store Heat in Water; No Season in Building Try to Cut Fuel Cost Game in These Years By storing up heat in water, engi neers o f a Milwaukee company hope to provide a way without great ex pense for warming homes. Their plan is to heat the water by electricity In highly Insulated tanks at night and keep the temperature at a useful height during the day by a small amount o f current. The hot wa ter would he made to circulate through the house In much the same way that It does in an ordinary furnace-heating system. The value o f electricity as a heating agent Is recognized, hut in daytime, when current consumption Is great and capacity ia taxed at peak hoars, suf- flclent electricity for heating purposea could not be delivered without the ex- pense o f erecting additional plunts. It Is hoped that by the water-stor age plan, no extra generators will be needed and the equipment used at night w ill be available for aervlce dur ing the day. The Idea Is to he tested out in competition with an ordinary furnace. Builders used to he like hears and groundhogs— they hibernated In the winter But now they realize that winter construction means they can continue their work without a gap straight through the year and spread overhead expense over 12 months instead o f 8, as formerly. Especially In concrete work, which makes up a large part o f construc tion, winter construction has proved not only practical an.1 economical, bat really desirable. Only a few simple precautions are necessary to keep the concrete from freezing while harden ing, and while this adds slightly to the cost o f construction, the difference Is more than made up In several ways» Steel Clamps Steel clamp* fo r builders' nse need he well made as they are subject to hard usnre.

Irresistibly drawn by the currents o f Joy that surged through' the shabby parsonage. Helen kissed her sister rapturously and Horace Langley, flinging peda gogical dignity to Bie winds, clasped her in a boisterous embrace. “ Th is is my sister Helen—and Pro fessor Langley. Helen, this la— every body,“ M arjory introduced, almost In coherently. “ Where are the girls? Where's fath er!” “ Angels." cried Eddy Jackson, gas ing suddenly up to the curve o f the circular staircase. “ Or are the god desses coming down from Olympus to gaze upon, and envy, Beauty?" He pointed dramatically to the stairs where (linger Ella, with Miriam fast on her heels, crouched In quivering ex dtem ent, the wedding gown forgotten forgotten, too, the veiling cnrtaln, the canvas gloves, the flappy mules. “ Ginger—ru n !" cried Miriam, In sickening realization. But Ginger, trapped, was not one to fly before confusion. She proceeded calmly down the stairs, even strut ting a little, “ 1 didn't hurt It a bit, Helen," she reassured her sister. “ It s— oh. Just a — a rehearsal.” “ Why. It's little Cinderella— Just got a fall from her pumpkin," chortled Eddy Jackson, and a ukulele caught its cue and whined Into the wedding march. But Ginger turned away from them, scornfully, a bit too scornfully, for one o f the flapping males, too large for her, slid from her slender fo o t Gin ger, as she felt it slipping. In sudden consternation, hesitated for the barest fraction o f a second It was too long Eddy Jackson aaw and seized It. and ran to kneel mockingly at her nnsllp pered fo o t “ Cinderella, the prince returns yoor glass slipper.” In the midst o f tbetr merry langh ter, the ukulele's sudden bush silenced them. “ See here, somebody ought to Intro duce me.” protested the player, plain lively. “ Yon forget I’m a stranger— I wasn't even Invited."
