Lowndes Director. Schools of Architecture and Building International Correspondence Schools A SAVING in the first cost of a **• house can be made by using inexpensive materials in its con struction and finish. Wood used in the framework and in the exterior finish of houses is the cheapest ma terial available in the United States today, and is consequently the most common used. Houses built of wood require frequent repairs, however, and are subject to destruction by fire. A house with stone, brick, tile or cement walls and a slate or tile roof will cost more than a house with wooden walls, but the repairs and upkeep will cost less. There Will also be a saving in the cost of fire insurance. i * * * Another method of economizing in the original cost of a house is to make it very simple in form. The distances between the supporting walls should not be too great, as the size and expense of floor beams and rafters increase rapidly when i they are longer than 14 feet. Par titions in upper stories should rest upon partitions in the floors below whenever practicable. Flues and fireplaces should be grouped so as to require as few chimneys as pos sible. These and similar considera tions will result in savings in the first cost. * « • Every owner would prefer that his house be considered beautiful. He is interested not only in its ex- | ternal beauty, but desires that its furniture and decorations shall be selected with equally artistic taste. To assure artistic effects the design of the house and its surroundings as well as its furnishings, is best entrusted to an architect whose good taste has been shown in com pleted work of a zimilar nature The Newspaper of the each Belt WITH AN ENTIRELY BRAN -NEW EXCLUSIVE NEW SERVICE With Items of Interest Frem th : s ih lt The Macon Evenin News PLUS THE PEACH BELT NEWS SERVICE Affords Complete Coverage Os A !'

Foster, Vocational Counselor, International Correspondence Schools Difficulties Provide the Opportu nities for Success A PROMINENT business execu tive has said that if he had to name the one quality most essential for success in business, he would say that it is the ability to find genuine pleasure in overcoming difficulties. A tendency to shrink from or avoid difficulties can be a wellnigh fatal handicap to the young man starting his business career. Every responsible job in every line of work presents its difficulties. The more responsible and better paid the job, the more it abounds with them. It is this very fact that accounts for the fascination of busi ness, and that assures the man suc cessful in overcoming difficulties an ample reward for his labors. It is safe to say that the size of an in dividual’s earnings is an accurate measurement of the number of diffi cult situations he must deal with in the course of a day’s work. > There are millions of people who can fill the routine jobs which busi ness provides. Their reward is the reward the rank and file always re ceives. The opportunities for suc cess lie in doing the difficult jobs. The man who finds himself in a job where there do not seem to be any difficulties can be sure there is no future in that job for him. If your goal is a successful busi ness career you cannot do better than hunt for difficulties. Never try to avoid them or pass them on for someone else to worry about. Learn to discover and cope with them bet ter than the men around you, and Yous success da assured.

IL. ~ • Know Your Language j By C. L. Bushnell School of English, International Ccrrespondene* School, “TkILAPIDATED” derives from i "lapis,” the Latin word for stone. One explanation of its deri-i j I vation is that in Roman and pre- j 11 Roman times stoning to death was ; 'i a frequent form of punishment. To । । us it seems a barbarous practice, I । but undoubtedly when an unfortu- i ' । nate victim was stoned to death, he I ।: was completely "dilapidated." ♦ * » The use of the expression “old i ।' adage” is what grammarians des -11 cribc as tautology. “Adage” by it- I 11 self means an old and long accepted ; saying. The “old” is, therefore, un- | j necessary and hence tautological. > “Turbulent mob” is another example 1 ’ of the same thing, for the word ' I "mob” itself means a turbulent 1; crowd or assembly. Business Guides By C. E. Johnston Director, Biisinws Training School,, Internßtional Corrttpondcnce School, IDEAS for improvement of a prod net or the operation of a bust ; ness often come front employes. 1 The prudent employer always is i eager to learn of new ideas. He i encourages his workers -to make ; suggestions. There have been in- I stances whore a company has re ceived and adopted suggestions without rewarding the originators 1 in any manner. This leads to 111- I feeling and sometimes even to seri ous labor trouble. Credit should always be given to employes when it is warranted. Employe loyalty . will result. ♦ • * Most forward-looking business | owners and operators encourage • employes to improve the’mselves by study. Thousands of firms recom i mend certain courses of training i and pay part or all of the cost This Interest in the employe shows prot । its for the employer because it io | stilts in ambitious, industrious i workers always being available to fill positions which require an un : usual knowledge 01 exceptional ; skill. There is no substitute for a’ trained worker or office employe. In these days the employer cannot | devote the time necessary to train : employes for advanced positions. Instead, he encourages them to i train themselves by study. * • * Higher rositions are always In Cie reach of those qualified to fill | them. The employe who acquires I ability to fulfill snore than his pres ■ ।nt duties, already has started on Hie road to success.

Hints For Motorists By Joseph R. Rollins The Atlantic Fefining Company EVEN an inexperienced driver can soon learn to identify the slapping noise in the engine that is caused by a worn piston pin. It the slap is particularly noticeable when the engine is idling, but tends to disappear at higher engine speeds, the strong probabilities are that it is a piston slap, e « ♦ In view of the fact that defective lighting greatly increases the haz ards of night driving, it is a wise precaution to make sure that the lighting system is always in A-l condition. So small a factor as the age of a light bulb may reduce the effective light by 50 per cent or more. Dirt on the lenses may cause a further appreciable loss of light intensity. Incorrect focusing or faulty direction of the light beam are other possibilities that should be checked by the careful driver. Hints to Gardeners by Gilbert Bentley Flower Expert Ferry Seed Institute ® i fa Reaping Flower Profits ipLOWER growing by the amateur Jr gardener is a pastime which pays excellent dividends. Growers have found that by picking annual flowers often and regularly they actually increase the total yield from The garden over the length of the season. This is true of annuals because they have but one season in which to produce seed and they keep con stantly at the job of bearing flowers until adverse weather conditions call a halt. Two healthy, 20-foot rows of zinnia will provide fresh bouquets regularly from early spring until mill-summer, if new blooms are picked every three or four days. Regular picking is not the sole means of increasing bloom, of course. Experience has shown that more abundant flowering may be induced by decreasing the amount and frequency of watering just as the flowers come into bloom. The term “picking flowers” la used In re in a general sense, mean ing gathering or reaping. In the exact sense of the word, most flow ers should not bo picked or plucked. They should be cut—with a sharp knife, never with scissors. There are a few exceptions. Sweet pi as. pansies, violas and nasturtiums may be picked. Sweet peas should be broken from the plant when the flower stem springs fro i. hetv.' h arms of the axil or “V”. With the other three, fol low the stem as near to the base of th- plant as possible, and break it off. V> en using n knife in gathering fir .. rs, m eke a i! igonal cut.
