What You May Want to
Know About Building
Questions atldrewied to the pnpor will
b answvrcd by the Architect Small
IIoum ScrvUti Bureau of the United
StktcM. Inc., controlled by the American
Institute of Architect end enJorwJ by
the department of commerce. United
Mfttra Ki)Vkrnmrnl. Kncloso eel (-aid
dreeeed, a tamped envelope for reply.
Question. What Is the least ex
pensive way to finish woodwork?
Answer. Stained and varnished
woodwork costs lesa than painted
finish; painted finish costs loss
than enamel. The soft woods used
as bases fr any of these finished
cost lesa than hard woods. Some
very beautiful effects may bo ob
tained with stains on soft woods.
Question. After every rain wel
spots show at the top of our win
dows. Water drips down on tho
sill. What causes this? How do
we fix it?
Answer. Proper cap molds were
not used over tho exterior casincs
or else flashing was omitted. Re
pairs can bo made easily by a good
carpenter.
Question. Should the footing po
below the basement floor or Just
even with it?
Answer. Set the footings so that
the whole thickness of the base
ment floor slab is above it. .
Question. My lot Is five feet
short, but my neighbor says he haj
occupied the disputed piece for
.'U years and that It is therefore his
under the law. My attorney says
he is ripht. Can nothing bo dono
to correct the injustice
Answer. Wo advise to rely on
your attorney's knowledge of the
laws governing thla matter in your
state and his judgment as to your
rights. The law may seem to work
an injustice to you, but to your
neignuor who no occupied the
property all these years It serves
;t3 a protection. That is the pur
pose of the law. k
Question. Certain of tho walls
in oup newly plastered house re
main dark and damp. Tho plaster
is soft. Will it harden in time?
Answer. Plasterers call this
condition a sweat out. If the
piaster does not set un hard in lw
than a week it will never set prop
erly. Call your plasterer in. Hold
out nis compensation until he
niakpfl suitable repairs.
Question. Mv contractor sava
that steel casement windows are
not tight because they cannot be
weatherstrlpped. How about it?
Answer. Thoy cannot be weath
erstrlpped. but they do not requiro
ir. as tne sash anu frame are de
signed with flanges which meet and
lap in two parallel lines all around
the edges of the window. This pro
vides a dead air space. The metal
to metal contact insures cood wind
stopping. Weather stripping Is re
commended with wooden sash bo
ra uc otherwise it is impossible to
Keep tno margins permanently
tight. ,
Question. T am a builder. The
small community where I work
thinks of a house as a thing of
four-walls and roof with necessary
interior partitions. Anything else
in superfluous, plans aro unnec
essary. The results are always utrly
and I want to build bettor houses,
out wnat can I do?
Answer. You can keep hammer
ing away at the truth that a com
pletely drawn plan and specifica
tion saves you time and money.
i ne cost to tno nome builder w.
Uierefoie. less. You can telj these
neoplo that a properly designed
houne does not necessarily cost
more man tno rnriy shack. You
n a practical builder can prove ft.

not achieved by guess work. They tell tho story

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.

Another factor that vnrlwi tho cant .of building
Is tho going prlcrs for material a and labor lu tho
dlfforcnt locotltles. The, only way to mnko certain
how much It will cost to build from this plan or
any other Is to get a contractor to make a direct
estimate from tho working drawings with Bpocltlca
tiona drawn In accordance with the homo builders'
wishes.

By tho end of 1020 uiied cur
Htocka of the majority of uuto

by William L. Hur;hnon, vlcc-preni-
dent of the nationul automobile
dealers' association nnd head of
the automotive merchandising con
cern bearing his name.
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. "Dealers through' experience
have found out that paying? more
for it than a ued mv Is worth
