CALIFORNIA bungalows always have one feature, the patio, that is not found ia the types with which the North and East are most familiar. It is a relic of the early Spanish occupancy of tne bouthwest and a charac teristic of all Spanish homes. Latin-American homes from Mexico on down through South America all feature this outdoor convenience which loses its charm in the harsher northern climates. The bungalow shown here fs typically Calif ornian, but it is equally good for any sec tion of the South. It is built in the shape of a letter L, the object being primarily to afford the best possible light rag and ventilating facilities. Incidentally it provides in this manner for the patio, which is inclosed on the outer side by a wall of brick to insure privacy.

The Argonaut Realty Corporation, a Subsidiary of General Motors, announces that bid hare been asked for relative to the construc tion of an 11 -story building to be occupied, principally, by the Gen eral Motors Research Division. ;The building will be located on (Second Boulevard. Milwaukee and j Baltimore, and will contain ap I proximately one - half million (square feet of floor space, includ ing the basement. It will occupy the entire block on Second Boule vard, extending 216 feet on Mil waukee and 180 feet on Balti more. It will be connected with the General Motor Building by a subway under Milwaukee. The material to be used will be brick with lime-stone trim and polished granite base.

The plans and specifications were prepared by Albert Kahn. Incorporated. The present Research building, at the rear of the General Motors building, will be absorbed for of fice purposes by General Motors Corporation, its divisions and sub sidiaries. This building has not met adequately the need of the Research organization since that division moved to Detroit from Dayton. Ohio, three years ago, and concentrated all of its operations here. For the last two years the Research activities have been spread over three different build ings. Official of General Motors Cor poration are intensely interested in the work of the Research de partment, considering it one of the most important activities of the Corporation. The desire to bring a llof the work under one roof, in proximity to the .main of fice of the Corporation, and the uneuitableness of the present Re search Building for many of the Reserach experiments, prompted the decision to erect a separate structure. elliptic s ma mm Engineers Turn Attention to Perfecting Four Wheel Brakes Geo. C. Will, local music dealer, fills another vacant space In the business section of town by the erection or a new S12,0o two story concrete building located on Liberty street, about 50 feet south I the new First National Bank building. This is the fourth store building that has been built here In the business district by Mr. Will and he hopes to erect one or two more In the future. The new structure on Liberty street is 37 feet wide and ISO feet ong. The first floor is divided nto two compartments, one of hich will be a store and the oth :r will be occupied by the Lunch Box restaurant. The second floor will also be divided nto two parts, one-half being built into a dance hall and the other into apart ments. The outside will be finish ed in a cream colored stucco to harmonize with the building across the street. The lot was formerly occupied by the Grease Spot Service sta tion. Mr. Will also owns the building across the street occu pied by the Black Cat restaurant. another on Ferry street occupied by Lee's Feed store, and the building in which his music 'Store is located on State street. Besides these buildings be rents out eight private dwellings in various parts of the city. He has also financed the new Fraternal temple which was built at an estimated cost of 129.000. The new building on Liberty street will be completed by June first. COAST TO COAST men needed Now that virtually all cars are equipped with four-wheel brakes, automotive engineers are turning their attention to perfecting this method of stopping. Brakes of efficient design are standard on most cars today so that every no- torist is assured of a prompt stop in ease of emergency, provided or dinary attention is given to keep ing the braking mechanism prop erly adjusted. Engineers, however, are seeking means to decelerate cars not only quickly and without effort, but smoothly so that the occupants will feel little if any of the shock af sudden stops. Through exhaustive tests car ried on for more than a quarter of a century, the Franklin Ac to mobile company has accumulated a wealth of data to prove the su premacy of the full-elliptic spring in softening and eliminating the shocks of quick starts and itpps as well as the jars arising in or- ainary travel ever rough pave ment, street car tracks and coun try roads. 'Franklin Airman cars arc equipped exclusively with this typ ot spring, having springs on each side equivalent to aa ordin- jary senU-elljpUc longer than the (wneeioase of ins ear. TSe eon jness of the braking effect is said I to occasion surprise , among peo 1 pis experiencing It for the first time, and the resiliency- of the spring in riding coupled with Franklin's weight distribution, are claimed to be responsible for the wen-known easy riding quali ties which these ears provide. i Read The Classified Ads Our Own Highway Systems Need Attention First Says President While an alluring prospect is held out to motorist in the sug gestion of an International high way linking Canada with the tip of the South American continent in the opinion of G. M. Williams president of the Marmon Motor Car company, we should first com plete our coaat-to-coaat system of paved highways before Indulging in any pan-American dream. "It is all very true,- said Mr Williams, "that the proposed in ternational route would go far to ward cementing friendly relations among such states as were hooked up by such a trunk line and would open up entirely new and amaz ing possibilities to the motor tour- k?t. "As a dream, it has everything to recommend it. and I admit it challenges one's imagination. Nor am I saying that it may not be realized within the next decade, especially as President Cool id ge. the Mexican delegation to the re cent pan-American congress, and the American Road Builders' as sociation seem to be taking the plan seriously and offering it their support. "At the same time, we must be practical and must consider our own highway situation first. The system of paved roads extending from the Atlantic seaboard west ward narrows down to an acute angle as it approaches the Missis sippi valley. "The present jumping-off place of the west, the end of the con crete pavement, is the little town of Dover. Kansas. From that po'nt on until the Pacific coast is reached a hiatus exists and the dusty and irregular at best, and at their worst, hub-deep in mud. I "Through such states as Kan sas. Nebraska. South Dakota, Col orado. Wyoming, Utah. Idaho and Nevada, motoring is still an ad venture, and conditions grow worse as one leaves the Mississippi and the Missouri rivers behind him. "These western states are not altogether to be blamed for their failure to supply a connecting link in a system of trans-continental concrete highways. They are sparsely settled and lack the funds for adequate road building. "The military value alone of n coast-to-coast pavement in time of national crisis would be immeasur able, to say nothing of its social and economic value in times of peace. "There is pending In congress a bill introduced by Representative Roladay of Illinois, calling for a three-billion dollar ; federal bond issue to finance the construction of. a comprehensive system '- of hard-surfaced roads to be built and maintained by the United States. -Such a highway system sboald .be regarded not aa a lux ury but as a necessity.. "When ones the motorist is able to hop Into his car at Fort Kent, Me., and journey to Seattle. San Francisco or Los Angeles without leaving the paved road. It will be time to talk of pan-American highways extending from the Can adian border through the heart of the United States, Mexico, and Central America, down the west coast ot South America to Cape Hcrn. - . A new Marmon 7i-two-passen-ger speedster, piloted by Joe Daw son, racing champion of other years, will pace the start of the sixteenth S0-imle race on the In dianapolis speedway May 30. it is announced by G. M. Williams, president of the Marmon Motor Car company, and the speedway management. The annual speed classic like wise will amrk Marmon's return to racing competition after an ah-1 sence of 1? years. Three aMrmon JS specials, especially designed; nd built by Earl Cooper, veteran j lriver. and Col. Howard Marmon. j head of the company's engineering j taff, have been entered in the vent for the purpose of testing new innovations in automobile de sign. Marmon is the first automobile company to be selected to pace the event the second time. In 1920 a Marmon 34 driven by Barney Old field was the official pace car for ..he 500-mile race which, that year. was won by Gaston Chevrolet. The start of the race at Indian- i polls, promptly at 10 a. m. each May 30 is one of the most spec tacular scenes in sport. Thirty dd cars roll away from the tape n rows of three each with the 'ex ception of the first row in which the pace car occupies the pole po sition, lined up with the three fast- ?st cars. Slowly they get away and roll nto the first trun. On the back stretch of the famous two and one balf mile oval they gather speed, gradually increasing it until the rs enter the home stretch. Then he pace car thunders along at race rar speed until the field crosses he wire in front of the judges' ;tand and the race is on. It requires skillful driving of .he pace car to keep the race field ntact and to get out ot the way oi he tiny raee cars after the offi -ial flying start of the contest. T . "Pop" Myers, general manager f the Indianapolis track, will ride n this year's pace car to assist Dawson in keeping the front line Jrivers from breaking the bar rier before the start of the con est. Dawson is now service manager )f the Marmon Philadelphia com pany. having continued his asso ciation with Marmon following successful career on the speedway vhich ended with a serious injury n 1914. Driving a Marmon. he was fifth in the first 500-mile race n Indianapolis in 1911 which was won by Ray Harroun in another Harmon, and a year later he won .he classic at an average speed ot S.T miles an hour.

Employment likewise has been pUnt the personnel being SO per cent larger than at any stage dur ing 1927, the company's initial year in the automotive industry An attractive exterior of semi-English design, is one of the features of the five room house plan prepared by the Univer sal Plan Service. The front of the house, with its brick balustrad ed entry way terrace and timbered entry, gives the house an individual and distinctive appear ance, which could be further enhanced by proper planting o f shrubs. Five large room's, all on the ground floor, are provided in the plan. The large living room and dining room occupy the front of the house, -and are so arranged they can be made into virtually one room. The kitchen is at the rear of the dining room, and has a break fast nook for the inti mate family meals. Sleeping quarters are located at the rear of the house and separated from the re mainder by a central hall, which provides means of communication between the various major units without having to pass through any one to reach the third. Two sets of blue prints and specifications may be obtained upon application to the real estate of The Spaulding Logging Co. at a moderate cost. Spaulding Logging Co.

Plans are also being made to steadilr increase this production since equipment has been added that wUl double the daily capacity. In its first year the Falcon Mo tors corporation set a, notable sales record for a new company and has built up a dealer organ isation that covers e very-important trade center of the naticn. The company also has materially rtrengthened its standing in the xport field with an outstanding dealership representation abroad. The increased demand for Fal- con-Knight sixes is laid to the un usual performance these cars dis closed since their initial introduc tion and to the decided trend on the part of motor car buyers to ward those cars that employ the Knight sleeve-valve engine, the type used in all Falcon-Knight cars. Officials of the company de clare that, the present year has a decidedly bright outlook and de clare that already the demand for Falcon-Knight models has far ex ceeded their estimates set at the beginning of the year.
