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

THE purpose .of the

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

to what might otherwise be an aus

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

lurircr ones.

proper handling of these architec

a fine background for Inexpensive

since the architecture Itself already
has this property.
The open porch at the side of the

What You May
-Want to Know- y
About Building ,
Questions addressed to this pa' ,
per will be answered by the Archi
tects' small House Bervice Bureau
of the United States, Inc. 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. ' When
you pay $1,000 down 80 per cent
must still be financed. , The cot of
securing the money ubove the first
mortgage will be much Uss. W?
advise this procedure. Pay mora jf
you can on the down payment. ,j,
v. Q Do you think there would '
be any danger of cedar shingles '
.that ulc souked with presei-vu-tlve
warping to as to. make ah I
unsightly roof?
A On tho contrary, the ereoaot
used in this way has a tendency o
keep the shingles flat, adding
greutly to their Ufa end continued
fine appearances. Color t pplicd at
the time of staining a: 1,0 'dipruvca
appearances.

"In me shnnty by the mln."

I didn't believe he was. "You were

"I weren't!" he shrilled.
I wnn Inclined to believe him.
"A man was In this budding lnt

"If I hndn't mnnsgt'd to rrnwl Into

I no longer dotihtfd this was 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

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

"Sandwiches and w a t e r." he
grunted.

Jerry's flnnnels he became all at

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.".

"It's evident the 'children' didn't

bluntly.
This angered me. "Do you actu

deflated my tires?"
"I'm sorry, John." His faco was
serious. "You would, too. If it were

on to my adventure at the mine.
