PXGE EIGHT I Help For the Man Who Wants to Build I Information About Copper, Brass and . ; Bronze for Homes ; By tbe Architects' Small Houm Service Bureau of the Imlted BUtos, Inc. What about copper? Chemist call it an clement. By that they mean it la one of the basic ma terial!. You cannot make it out of something else. You can make copper into other metallic forma bronze, bras. You can use It as an alloy with steel, but you can not make copper. Nature did that. Is thin of any Importance to a home builder? Not particularly excepting- that many of these basic elements have tremendous dura bUtty. - Like gold, silver, pure iron, block tin, sine, they have qualities of resistance to .weathering and wear of the very first degree. Also, they often Improve the qualities of other metals. Now copper Is one of the oldest metals used by man. He mixed It with tin to make bronze. He used it without combining it with other motalg to make spear heads and other war Implements. And we find these today after thou sands of years have pasued over them. When he fashioned art ob jects out of It, particularly of bronze, he left for our generations enduring beauty. - Off Your Blind It Is obvious that we should cher ish this material. Happily It Is not a precious one. In our country It Is found in vast deposits. So. as compared with the precious metals, It is extremely Inexpensive. Tims we may uho It, taking ad van tu ire of Its extraordinary properties of dura bility, in all classes of building. One has the assurance, when his roof is sheathed iffKli copper or when it is used as down spouts, eavctroughs, valleys, flo.shingu, he can forget about It. When the ho ate we build today wear J out w becomes old and has to bo replaced, the copper we uho on It can be sal vaged and will command a price. Thinking of It In tt-iiiift of lonf years then, material like this must be c6noldered the leuat expensive of any that can be used str.ee there are no replacements, no cost cf up keep, no pulntlng. , In fact, It lakes on Its own color, a pleasant litfhl greenish blue. It Is sufficient decoration in itself. Tho alloys of copper arc nlso valuable to us for example, when copper is mixed with zinc. No;s we get u new product. We call ! It brass and we net the, very best i material out of which hardware can be made. Wa get the bi'3t ma terial for making tho pipe for domettio water supply. It cuti . not uorrode, It cannot ruut. . The water titut passes through theuo pIpeB can never bo stained. They do not load up with dt-poaKu of Ume end magneslu. Ho tho full bora of the pipe wo have-in the first place continues to deliver tho full pressure of water that wo had when pipes were new, ' Bronze, too, la used In hardware and tov the finest screen cloth. What Is Extra Cost? Cost? Yes, it Is more expensive. We cannot sacuro these extra quali ties without paying fur them. But It Is a valid uueatlon whether home builders should consider first cost only. If they did, coats of home ownership wouiu get: uui or. nanu, ' we couldn't afford homes. If. aftr the end of u roaabnnblc- term of years, tho wholo coat of nnv materials that wo may use less than If we had uaed cheaper substances requiring replacement, substitution and repair, the -economy of tho hi!!"

An Economical Georgian Type House Designed to C ut j Building Costs THE purpose .of the ulclillocU) who de signed tills attractive house, C-G-0, was two fold: to kdop tho cost within reaell of persons of modcruto moanu by planning a six-room houso of the smallest dimensions compatible with comfort and, at the suine time, to huve a house of good design und convenient ar rangement. They have succeeded cdmlrauly Although tho ouUldo dimensions arc only 2Bx2G, the compactness of Uio plcn mulies possible rooms of ample bIzo and leaves out nothing that mal'.eD for convenience. There oro closets for every need, a coat closet, one for broomB, another for china, oi well ts a closet of pood size in each bedroom, i neso are supplemented by a large ward- robo in the upper nan wmcu may havo many uses. Hay windows are returning iu favor and this attractive one, the well proportioned doorway, the tall chimney am' the wooden quoins used instead of tho cornerboards usually found on clapboarded walls aro details which glvo distinction to what might otherwise be an aus tere design. Although small, such are the quulltles and good taste of this houBo that the owner need not hesi tate to build It In any neighbor hood of good houses, even much lurircr ones.

Tne proper handling of these architec tural details insures for the house a fine background for Inexpensive iurnisn.ngs, involving a minimum of x Dense for added decoration since the architecture Itself already has this property. The open porch at the side of the house requires especial 'emphasis. For manv neonle this added space Is the making of a home. Screened in It becomes an outdoor living room where the family can gather, It areatlv en lames the accommoda tion of the house besides making the house Itself appear more com moaious. . v Construction: Designed to be bulU of wood, but would look equal ly well if built of brick with white stona auolns. , - Facing: Designed to face either south or west, but may ne reverseo for other facings.

Enclose a stamped addressed emtio pe. Q The chimney of my house is plastered directly without lath. Will- heat here have a . bad effect on the wall paper, as I have seen It in some houses? If so, what can be done? - A As you have deduced, plaster . should not be applied directly -to your chimney. It should have been furred outythus allowing the chim ney to settle Independently of the house.' The greatest difficulty you -are likely to experience Is cracked plaster where the chimney - joins -side 'walls. There 1s nothing that you can do about this now, ' We advise you to paper It. If you have a bad experience with It, furr the wall out and apply plaster board. - Q-:I have a . small house dlf-,. flcult to heat. We Insulated the . attic,. which made the upstairs " much' warmer. ,The downstairs ; is still cold. It ip wood frame . -stuccoed. What can we do -to make the downdtalru more com fortable without tearing up the walls? Why-do you not stress Insulation more? Many people do not 'know about It even in this day et high cost of coal.- -A Install weather strips at' the windows. ' If additional insulation is required, strip inside ' surfaces of outer walls and apply plaster board. Insulation under the strips would be very effective. This will be lean expensive than 'removing the stucco u insuiaie me wans. xou are, right about the need of insulation. No house should be built 'Without It as it pays for itself in saved fuel bills besides adding greatly to com fort . -'Q Which ' would be prefr Vable In a five room bungalow, ,' hot water or moist air? . ,,. A The choice depends on your own taste and on your pocketbook. . Warm air heat is less expensive to install and serves excellently in a five room bungalow if a good furr nace is Installed. 'The. encap fur naces are worthless. Mot water gives more uniform heat, there is less interference with bos?m2iu space, costs more. ' Jn either caie the system must be properly de signed and properly Installed.- If you get a high grade Job of either kind you will be satisfied wlth.lt. . Q What is your idea of a' person paying $600 down on a $6,000 house? Do you think he . should wuit until he hex $1,0ik as a dowu'paymcnt? y ' A If you pay $ti00 down you must borrow nio:o than uo ptr ent. Since only about 70 per cent van ordinarily be obtained on a (list mortgage, "you will have', heav financing charges for the balr.ace. This Is not a feood scheme.

"Did Peterson ever nwn the Two Brothers " I went on. . "Mebbe. I dutino." I looked at him steadily. "Try demanded sternly. "In me shnnty by the mln." "You are lying," I said, although I didn't believe he was. "You were In this building." "I weren't!" he shrilled. I wnn Inclined to believe him. "A man was In this budding lnt night seek Ins my life," 1 went on. "If I hndn't mnnsgt'd to rrnwl Into this room he'd have got me." I no longer dotihtfd this was the room Into which I hnd fatten, ur o remember this: Did you ever) that the figures I had teen In it )tpoed. I ran to tho window. A sedan was lumbering slowly down tho crooked street. Its hood was I scraped to the dully gleaming alu minum nnd Its wlndflhleld ground I opaque. The car Htopped and Dea- con got out. One doesn't leave n chief of po lice locked up In odh'h house with Impunity, nnd ever since 1 had left Man Kellpe there had Inln In the back of my mind the certnlnty that presently I should have to reckon with Henry. 1 made my wny down stairs. Furle had vanished. Henry was staring nt the building with n grim look on his honest face. Ills ex pression didn't soften when he saw me. "I wns rather looking for yon, Henry," I sold agreeably,' ss he enme towards me, "What have you got to say for yourself?" j Kvldenlly he wasn't going to lie j generous, "Yonr car Is over nt the! mine. The children aren't here.' "Where nre they?" "I don't know. They left the place Just'nfter I got hero yester day nfternoon. Neither of them saw me. They were gone before I could stop them." Henry gnve n short laugh. "Why did you do this fool thing, John?" 1 looked nt hhn. seriously, "You know why I did It. Henry. I want ed tho hoy to hnve his chnnce, ' 1 fell sure he could e-xplnln his nb senre m Isfaetorlly and I wanted Mm to give himself up for the sake of nppenrnncoa.'' "1 suppose I don't need lo point out to you the' seriousness of what you did. Do you Imagine you helped the hoy's case by locking me up?" "I rather think so. Jerry has surrendered himself by this time nnd thnt was what we wanted." "Have you got nnythlng to ent with you ?" I asked. "Sandwiches and w a t e r." he grunted. him, and when I Npoke of finding Jerry's flnnnels he became all at tention. "Where are thoy?" I got the bundle and we went over It. "The boy's, of course," Henry sold decisively. "He changed here." "Nonsense!" I retorted nngiily. "They were planted." "By whom?" "Dillon.". Of the children's departure and my full tire to make tbem hear he knew already, hut 1 added n word or two about my deflated tires. "It's evident the 'children' didn't want you following them," he said bluntly. This angered me. "Do you actu ally mean lo sny you believe Jerry deflated my tires?" "I'm sorry, John." His faco was serious. "You would, too. If it were nnybndy else but Jerry." letting the point rest, I passed on to my adventure at the mine. My return to the village, the swift coming of the sandstorm, my un ceremonious entrance Into tho e sort, and my belief that someone else was In the building fetched little response from him.
