This brick cottage designed by Northwest designers combines charm and compactness.
Its brick walla form a colorful background for shrubs and vines. Since brick walls do
not require repainting, destruction of shrubbery during repair work of this kind is elim
inated. Plans for this home complete with details are available thru the Pacific North

The effectivness with which the
design of Hupmobt'e's "Centnry"
coachwork has cared for the bod
stresses and strains imposed by
modern high compression engines,
higher speeds, faster acceleration
and quick -acting four wheel
brakes, was recently indicated by
"It. S. Cole, Hupmoblle general
sales manager, to a group of lead
ing Hupmoblle distributors.
"Modern transportation needs
hare imposed demands for more
exacting on motor car bodies than
the public generally realizes," said
Mr. Neerken. "The tremendously
greater flexibility of today's b nter
automobiles has meant almost the
literal necessity of redesigning mo
tor oar bodies completely. :d f

strument board and pillar into one
unit. At-the fifth point Is a heavy
wood pillar, encased with steel,
rigidly attached at the roof rail
and sill. The dsh sill and chassis
frame are bolted together into a
solid construction by a heavy
bracket support. A large metal
brace at the junction of the body
ind dash provides the required
strength to eliminate both the side
md fore and aft movement of the
fowl, which would otherwise be
brought about by the force of
four wheel brakes. Body and
chassis again are joined together
near this same point, further to
insure a tight union.- Board ris
ers, at the ninth point, are formed
integral with the dash to give a
strong construction at the extreme
front end.
"A further refinement in the
Century coachwork is the mould
ing. It is an actual part of the
body, not nailed on and then filed
dnwn. This new construction adds
stiffness and eliminates the paint
cracks and loosening which go
with the old style standard mould
ing. "The unique dash construction
gives unusual rigidity to the en
tire front end of the' body. All
points where metal Joins either

age family, outside death itsnlf.
than the destruction by fire of the
home for which the savings of half
a lifetime have been spent. Home
takes on a different meaning, once
one owns it. Home in a rented
house may be replete with family
happiness and content but the
feeling is tremendously deepened
once the home becomes one's own.
And to keep that home as at
tractive exteriorally as when it is

which it is constructed are subject

nature should be selected. They

and their long-run economy speed
ily makes up this initial cost and
repays you through the years in
constant saving of expense.
Permanent construction is the
only sensible type for the man of
average Income. When he builds
home he usually expects to live
in it for a considerable period. He
doesn't expect to build another.
Usually be obligates himself for
more years than he likes to admit
in building the first. And If it
barns, or if it deteriorates through
natural causes to which it is sub

Common brick today offers that
man a happy solution. The com

elements do not affect it. Zt may

ior beauty burned into the walla.
It should coat not to exceed six or
seven per cent more than its
cheapest competitor, and for ulti

"Every one of these problems

"First of at, we believe
thoroughly 4hat the wood and
steel type, generally called the
composite body, results in the
best coachwork. Wood and steel
combines greater strength with
resiliency, both of them vital to
any body In which long life and
onit are fundamental requlre
ments. Automobile bodies must
constantly undergo severe shock
ffuch as are encountered in
quick sloping, fast acceleration
and on bumpy roads. Modern
heavy traffic has made a car of
great flexibility an almost impera

withstand the strains that such
flexibility Imposes is almost equ

would be ridiculous advice. It is
constantly necessary to pull a car

Crowded Cemeteries

KEEP AUTOMOBILE
IN LINE; SAFETY
Chance for Accident In
creased from One To 50
When Pulling Out
CHICAGO. 111.. April 7. (Spec
ial) In driving you increase your
chances of an accident 50 to 1
when yon pull your automobile
out of line.
Forty per cent of the automo
bile accidents fatal to children oc
cur when' a child runs out from be
hind a parked car.
These are among the conclu
sions of James 8. Kemper, Presi
dent of the Lumbermcns Mutual
Casualty Company, Chicago. His
judgment is based on intensive
study of over 10,000 automobile
accidents in the past ten years.
"I don't mean that a driver
should never cut his car out-of
line," says Mr. Kemper. "That
cumstances may make It right and i cross streets.' They should add.
proper to do so. i "And never run out from behind
What I do mean is precisely Parked car!"
what I say, that you Increase your
chances of an accident 50 to 1
when you cut out of line. There
fore you should do so only when
absolutely necessary and with the1
greatest foresight and care. On
a pedestrian vacation trin in the
mountains you might have occas
ion to walk for a short distance
along a narrow ledge with a sheer
drop of a thousand feet. How
foolish you would be to retrace
your steps and do it over and over
again! If yon did, sooner or later
you -would probably slip or get
dlssy and fall.
"That is what happens to the
motorist who habitually pulls ont
of line. Sooner or later the acci
dent probability catches np with1
him. By accident probability we
mean the likelihood that an acci
dent will happen under a given set
of circumstances. That likelihood
is SO times greater when a driver
is out of his place in the line of
traffic than when he is in place.
His exposure, as we call it, to an
accident is increased 50 to 1."
Re fe ring to an Illustrated book
on "Preventable Accidents" pub
lished by the Automobile Safety
Committee of the Lumbermens
Mutual Casualty Company, Mr.
Kemper pointed out some road
rules that bear on the dangers of
pulling ont of line:
"Keep your position on a hill;
If you want to pass a car, do it on
the level."
"Keep your place on a curve
and do your passing on the
stralght-of-way."
"Let approaching car go by be
fore passing car ahead."
"Follow line of trafic. Move
straight ahead, not In and out:"
The Lumbermens Mutual Cas
ualty Company devotes a large
part of its extensive public safety
work to the safety of children
"Because so large a per centage of
the fatal accidents to children oc
enr when a child runs out from be
custom for relatives to walk bare
headed behind the horse-drawn
hearse and to stand uncovered at
the burial ceremony, often long.
Frequently sobbing women fair
ly stagger along, supported on
either side, at funerals. Ii is quite
proper for aged or 111 persons to
take a carriage but it Is the walk
ing behind the hearse that truly
fulfills the old tradition of mourn
ing.
, Establishing new high sales ree
ords is only one phase of the tri
bute that has consistently been -paid
the three new "Century"
Hupfnobiletj since their introdnc-'
tion. R. S. Cole, Hupmoblle gen
eral sales manager, points out
that applications from dealers for
sales rights sine the new "Six
of the Century" the first of the
new models was announced in
October, have excedeed those
made during any previous similar
period in the company's history.
More than 1000 applications for
dealerships were filed during tne
four mouths to March 1, he re-
ports.
"Sales to distributors and deal
ers during the four months
twice broke all previous monthly
records," he said. "March again
will set a new high total.
"The demand lor HupmoMle
everywhere lias not caused us to
lower the high standards we com
pel in our sales representatives.
On the contrary, we are scrutlnU
lng dealer applications very care
fully, in accordance with out long-
established policy. 'rOnly those
who can bring the highest grad-i
service facilities to tile public are
being granted the right to repre
sent' us. Of the thousand and
more appucaiiuus, we . ouunnj
granted 390 of them during those
four months.
"It is our policy to strengthen
Hupmoblle in every section of the
country, and to encourage dealer
ships wherever there is sufficient
adjacent population to make it ad
visable. But our first requisite is
that the prospective dealer must
be fully competent to furnish the
Hupmoblle owner with the " best
service facilities that can be of
fered. "That policy will be continued.
Only those dealers who csn main
tain the high standard to the pub
lic, on which we Insist, can
qualify."

And Not Nearly So Expensive
As We Thought"
MANY people who have rather taken it for 'granted that a brick home
was beyond their means are surprised at the economy of this con
struction, once they investigate its cost.
While the first cost of brick walls
varies somewhat, depending upon
the way they are laid, any type of
brick home offers a large saving in
upkeep during the years of occu
pancy, and a high resale value.
With the graceful lines that are
now the vogue in brick construc
tion, no material exceeds it in
beauty or offers such substantial
dignity. There's something about
a brick home that betokens solid
worth that makes it something
more than a temporary shelter.
Ask your local brick manufacturer for estimates on brick construction or
consult this bureau as to plans and various types. There will be no obli
gation incurred, but the information may be of much value to you.
