One ot theso la to "jaw it up to build It full of trick balconies, overhanging cor nices and arches. The other way ta to put aomu architecture, into It.

They tell tho story it long hard hours of labor performed by aomeone who carefully adjusted tho parts to each Other. Three Qualities Make Architecture " "When to flno apieamncea and good accommoda tion low cost of construction Is added, the houso really becomes most desirable for tho home builder of moderate means. Home plan 6 B-20 has been de signed from this point of view. The construction Is simplicity Itself. Tho materials used i e concrete for tho foundation wall with hollow tile above On. Ished with stucco, nnd a brick base course. The plan provides six rooms and bath. One of the rooms is in reality a sleeping porch. In the kitchen thero la a dining alcove. The door between the kitchen and rear entry altdos Into a pocket. A lattice enclosed pergola porch at the aide adds a touch of Interest. Tho basement ta planned for excavation below tho kitchen, sleeping porch, rear chamber, and dining room only. Horevor, a full basement could be provided If desired. Special foot urea of this design, aro the pergola porch, the fireplace of almplo Inexpensive design In tho living room, largo window openings, the arched opening between tho living and dining rooms, and the sleeping porch. The coat ot building a houso from this design, like that of every other small house. Is dependent upon what materials are used, their quality, and the amount of equipment that tho owner requires. The cheapest materials In the long run are those which are most sound. These may cost a Ilttlo more In the first place, but in the end they show real savings. This does not mean by any mean a that It ia necessary to use tho extravagantly fine materials, which are often not much better in ap pearance or more durable than the substantial mid die grades. Trade marked materials bearing tbo guarantee ot reputable manufacturer are tho saf est Investment for home builders. 1'Um jto, eo JO.

Hughflon doc!arn thin opinion 1m voiced not only by himself but nlu by other officials of tho associa tion, which arises from surveys conducted this year, in which it was found that many dealers are restricting their purchases of used cars to a very few lines of cars. "UoaUrra Kenerally will not bo out sklo of their own nnd pppular handled lines," continued Hutth- son. - "Careful restriction of the makes of cars that will bo accoptmi by an automobile, rjealcc's ucd i?ar stock is one of tho prime cssen tlflK of building a successful used c. r business. It will have the ef fect of rauslnff tho dealer to refuse sumo deals in which ho would de liver a new car, but It nlsn will enable tho dealer thereby to re fuse new car business that he would obtain only -at the expense of a large loss on the used car ac cepted.
