There has been In the erenUiS a very large in- crease in the use of copper in recent years, particularly in the electrical in- dustry, where fully 50 per cent, of the world's output of copper is con- as fuily explained paper.

But when there is but one car in the fam- ily motorists find it desirable to have extra space enough to shelter the car of a friend who may be visiting. A little more complicated is the problem as to where the garage should be located. Usually it is to be found in the rear of the house. Some houses that are built on a high plot of ground with the land sloping sharp- ly toward the street repretsnt a situa- tion where locating the parage in the i^ar of the home is out of the ques-{ tion. In such an event it can be located in front, but the grading can be done so that the garage is mostly under- ground and doe.s not mar the beauty of the landscaping. Thus located right on the street it has its advan- tages, but this is not ordinarily ths most desirable place to put a garage. If possible, the garage .should be about on a level with the hou.se. Of course, this is not apt to be possible in the case of the house just described. Since it is especially inconvenient to have to back up a steep incline in get- ting out of the garage, it is desirable when building in the rear of a house' to either grade down the road or raise the foundation if tho ground slopes' away from the back of tho house. I PRESENT TENDENCY REVIEWED. ' There is a growing tendency to construct garages that are attached to the house. Some of these are located j in tho basements of homes. This ar-' rangement makes it convenient fori tho owner who has to start out with! his car in unfavorable weather. On: the other hand, the auto is a fire haz- ard. If tho garage is under tho house its walls and roof should be fireproof,' and if there must be an entrance di-i rect from the house to the garage ths door should be fireproof. If the gar-; age is in the basement be sure there: is no connecting door between it and' tho furnace room, as gasoline fumes' from the car may cause a disastrous i explosion. If a garage is attached to' the house at the side or rear the same precaution about fir*» .should be taken. Architects have worked out attractive designs for attaching garages to houses. It garage Before building a garage the owner of an automobile should carefully con- sider thi.s whole matter. He will find that to give his car the proper kind of shelter is true economy. A car properly housed is sure to give its owner many dollars' worth of satis- faction and adsquate protection for this valuable possession. In Other Words,, 'Taint Fair! A business man who had motored out to his summer carai) for the week end met his little daughter at the bridge and presented her with a small sack of candy. Just before they reach- ed camp they overtook the small bare- foot boy who brought them milk each morning. "Give the little boy some candy, Gertie," her father suggested. Gertie picked out a small piece, but her father took the bag and poured out several pieces into the boy's out- stretched hand. After the boy had gone Gertie said reproachfully, "Papa, why did you give that milk boy nearly all ray candy?" "Why, my dear, you must be gener- ous! Think of all the nice milk he brings, and they don't charge much for It." "Oh, well," said the little girl, still reproachful, "I only had a few bits of candy, and he'a got a whole cow full of milk." o Cured by Nutmegs.
