THE OSHAWA PALLY TIMES, - SATURDAY, JULY 23, 1927. Leaks, and How You Can Avoid Them You cannot easily withstand an uncontrolled leak in your nocket- hook, Neither can you long ter, dure a leaking nouse., If your house leaks your pockethook may be drained. That is the reason for this story, Stop Leaks With Horse Sense Most home huilding efforts are directed toward the prevention of leaks, The walls you build must not leak heat, cold, wind or rain. The roof you place over your head, if it leaks, then maledictions on the roofer, There are the pipes that the plumber puts in, He is sup- pbsed to do a quality of work that ybu may never again he reminded of him. When the plumbing leaks, it violates your confidence, besides ruining the plaster, Then there are smoke leaks, gas leaks, spark leaks, leaky flues. What a hazardous place your home is after all. Per- haps, this is what Mark Twain was thinking of when he said that a hed was the most dangerous place in the world, for more men had died there than anywhere else, These wires strung around your walls may spill electricity, and if «WiC, NASH Carpentering of all kinds, OUR PRICES ATE PIGHT Phone 806M. 7 Lloyd St. --r Co W.

Then you Ihave to convert your wash tub into a sea going tug and pole yourself about the flood to get your dinner's supply of potatoes, The more one thinks of this the more tremendous these leak problems become, Let us stop them all with a little horse sense, LE] Leaks Tdke Topsy: "Just trow Up" Perhaps not everyone can tell what causes a Jeak. But certainly anydne can find one after it starts, Sometimes they exist from the first --horn when the house is built, Sometimes they grow up as the house wears down, In any case they are a vicious hrood, mothered by the slattern, illegitimate materials, or else hy the dowdy workmanship. The first bulwark of the home is the wall, You can build it many} different ways, One way we Saw the other day when a friend took us into his basement, Between the sill and the foundation wall was a erack so large that through it we could actually read the license plates on passing automobiles, When yon build walls you want openings in them for light and air, hut you must be inconsiderate enough to require the carpenter and the mason to re- trict these to the more formal doors and windows, Walls That Leak Coal But even these openings will al- so let in the wintry blasts if they are not tight, The coal man, if he cares to do it, ean name every home in town that has poor walls and windows hy the number of trips he has to make to deliver coal, Since you are not obliged to have loose walls or loose windows, it seems fu- tile to put up with them, Wooden walls without insulation or masonry walls without air spaces of some kind, leak tons of coal just as sure- ly as though in liquid form you had poured them Into the sewer.

Here is a home which almost any- one would he proud to call their own. Its simple, dignified modern style of design, and freedom from affection, make it a pleasing sight, even to those least tectual love, Passing through the hall into the living room, a beautiful impression |is at once received. One end wall {has a centre fireplace with a window |on each side, while opposite the gn- trance are the main stairs, and fhe double doors to the dining room. These doors are balanced on the opposite wall by those of the sun room. A large china closet opens into the dining room hut it is neces- sary to raise the floor somewhat order to obtain head room over the outside basement entrance stairs. Culinary 'labors are reduced | their minimum by a kitchen ar- i rangement of great efficiency. In the kitchen itself are an ironing board, stove, table sink, and range | while the rear porch entry accommo- dates the refrigerator. A debatable a | point, where only one kitchen win- dow 'is available, jis whether Phe table, or sink should be given the | favored position below it.. In this the architect has chosen the table, thus avoiding the danger of having the sink back come above the window bottom in order to have the sink at a convenient height, while keeping the window Jow enouzh for the upper sash be easily opened. The stair arrangement, to case to too, is versed in archi- | of mention. The longest [flight of stairs is ascended from a landing which may he reached up | four stairs, from the living room jor from the kitchen, Much of the advantage of a separate rear stair- | way is thus acquired and convenient | communication - is also secured be- tween the front entrance and the | kitchen. | Four ielothes closets, a land a bathroom, arranged to form accommodation, worthy with large linen closet, conveniently gecond floor bedrooms, hall are the in | | r= KT SAYS TEMPERANCE GAINS OVERSEAS Official of British "Dry" Or- » . ganization Speaks in » Halifax Halifax, N.S., July 23.--#The 'emperance cause in Eugland and jeotland is gradually becoming more powerful, total abstenance jis grow- ing in public favor, the great drunk- cnness in evidence a few years ago is mo longer scen.
