Ins. THERE are plans without number for fire and six room bungalows, but two particular arrange ments have the atrongcst appeal, especially where economies are in order. In one of these arrange merits the living: quarters of the house are separated from the sleeping quarters and bath room by the wall that runs down the center from front and back. Thus living room, dining room and kitchen are ar ranged on one side, with bed room, bath and second bed room on the other. The other scheme Is to have living room, dining room, kitchen In front and two bed rooms in the rear. Both of these are old, well established plans that have been found satisfactory by thousands of home builders. The design shown here, 5-D-35, is the second of the two schemes described above, but its arrangements comply with that formula only in the most general way. Changing the direction- of the living room, for example, is a variation which seems to make a completely new plan scheme. The arrangement Is !ound. There is the separation between living quar ters and the morel private quarters of the house, which should be possessed by every bungalow. Tfodoubtedlv fhe most distinguishing feature ef thla design la tie living room with its high cell ing. This has sometimes been called a. "studio" type room. The rafters form part ef the ceiling. This makes possible the use of a, large window In ihe front wall and adds a sense of luxury and spaciousness at very nominal expense.

These were all upon an 8-inch concrete foundation wall to the Joints. The only differences with other types of foundation wall were due to the costs of the foun dation construction. Common brick, walls were not included In the surrey. The near struction of a $6,000 one-story est approach was a common brick bungalow in Denver as determined! wall stuccled. The stucco added by a cost survey of small home' $222 to Its cost which aggregated SL316. Deducting: this stucco by the Architects Small House Service Bureau of the United States. The survey wss made with the cooperation of the Port land Cement association, the Den ver Retail Lumbermen's asaocia- of tlon and the Colorado Clay Prod ucts association. It was very complete and its findings were approved by each of the material associations named. Prevailing wage scales with the building trades at the time were ras follows: Bricklayers $12. s day; tile setters $13; plasterers imimers fiv, carpenters 99 and hod carriers $7.

The resolution also advocated the use of wood for all purposes for which it la most suitable, pointing out that when Letter utilization is coupled with effective steps for bringing about the growth of new forests It would be of great public benefit. Great progress has - been made in reforestation In many parts of the country. It was brought out at the meeting, both In changed forest taxation and In fire pre vention. The public has become aware of the fire hazard as a vi tal problem and is co-operating In helping keep fires out of the woods. Fire protection is devel oping steadily. . Tax legislation favorable to reforestation also Is increasing, 130 laws and , amend ments having to do with forest tax ation and forest growing having been passed in the United States during 1927. An increasing num ber of lumber: companies are r re foresting their logged-oft land and regulating their cut with the aim of operating on a sustained yield. PORTLAND, Ore., Jsn. 11. The 1927 cut of all soft woods in the fir districts of Oregon and Wsshington totaled nearly 11 billion feet of lumber, which, ac cording to the annual surveys of the 4L organization, is 5 per cent less than the 1926 cut of 12 bil lion feet in the same districts. Says the current issue of the Four L Lumber News: "In the pine territory east of the Cascades the 1927 cut of near ly 3 billion feet is 10 per cent less than the 1926 cut "The total cut of all soft woods In both the fir and pine districts of Oregon, Washington and Idaho was one billion feet under the 1926 cut, or 7 per cent less than the 1926 total of slightly more than 15 billion feet. Seventy-six per cent of the lumber produced during 1927 in the fir districts was cut by 155 major operations, while 24 per cent was cut by more than 1000 smaller mills of capacities rang ing from 5000 to 100,000 feet per shift. The reduction of more than 250 million feet cut by Group 1 fir sawmills (the major group) as compared with the 1926 cut of this group, is accounted for by the fact that a number of Group 1 mills, active during 1926, were in active throughout 1927, while still others were closed for six months or more. These included the Stout Lumber Co. and Coos- Bay, the Mlckle and Peninsula plants in Portland, the west mill on Grays Harbor, the Dempsey plant In Ta coma, and others. "A comparison of extra shifts operated during 1927 in all dis tricts, both fir and pine, with those cutting in. 1926, shows little change . A review of 1927 curtail ment shows that there was a no ticeable reduction of output In sev eral districts, both east and west of the Cascades, but in the fir ter ritory the reduction was largely offset by increased production In two or three districts. "The actual number of major operations in both fir and pine territory has not changed mater tally since a year ago. Plants that were suspended, dismantled or de stroyed by fire during the past year have been replaced by others oz practically equal total capac ity. The small sawmill operations of both fir and pine- territory show a decrease In number. The trend ap pears to be toward fewer and larg er operations, with the heaviest 'mortality during the past two years in the Group 4 class, those sawmills cutting 25 thousands feet and less per shift. "The smallest cut for 1927 re ported by any fir mill is a run of three days cutting 10,780 foot feet b. m., while the largest produc tion shows 987 day and night shifts with a total cut of 422 mil lion feet."

Attention Is called to the fact that special work will be done on body rebuilding and fender repair. According! to the present plans the company will offer $10,000 in stock and as rspldly as the stock is sold the service for the share holder will be Inaugurated. This planj of cooperative service for ; automobiles and its fulfill ment In Salem by the organiza tion of the Willamette Auto Sup ply! company came about through the general economic trend in the business world today.

In the general com petition for business it has be come evident that people are un willing to pay the bill of the pri vate warfare. Even In view of the general trend toward some elim ination the price of service is high As a result there has been a move ment toward cooperative buying The Willamette Auto Supply company expects to fill this want and give the! best of service to the shareholders.

The stock will Include 85 used cars at all times, and the plan is that 10 per cent of these will be 1927 and 1928 models. Specializing in used cars only the company has made an envia ble record in the last five months. disposing of 110 automobiles In that period of time. A smalt building which Is being used as an office has been erected on the center of the used car lot. Designers Continually Scheme To Lower Weight Reducing the welght-per-horse-power is one of the problems that automotive engineers are con stantly attacking. Fuel economy, increased speed, ast pickup, rapid deceleration, and more tire mile age are some of the benefits gain ed from lowering the weight per horsepower. In the Victory Six, Dodge Brothers' latest creation, the weight has been brought down to only 49 pounds per peak horse power developed by the motor. CHAXDLKR BREAKS GOOI It is normally a considerable hazard to drive over slippery or Icy pavements with two wheel brakes, but with Chandler's four wheel brakes, which are standard equipment, there Is a decided feel ing of security and confidence at all times. Chandler brakes are tested And retested before leaving the fac tory to Insure perfect equaliza tion. The entire mechanical con struction is very rugged.

Half a city block was razd by the flames which fortunately broke out in the middle of the after noon. Had it been at night heavy loss of life could hardly have been averted as the buildings burned like tinder. The, section of the boardwalk between Missouri and Arkansas avenues was so badly warped and charred that it was necessary to replace a considerable portion of it. All of the structures were built a number of years ago when the menace to life of frame hotels in resorts of this kind was not fully appreciated. Under the city building code all of the burned buildings will have to be rebuilt of brick or other f iresafe materials. THE MORAL: TILE. BUILD WITH BRICK OR HOLLOW SALEM BRICK and TILE CO.
