burgling and Dripping
Pipes Can Be Cured
The sound of waste water gur
gling through the soil pipes be
tween the partitions is objectionable
to most home owners and need not
be tolerated. •
The noise is overcome by insulat
ing the soil pipes with a pipe cov
ering.
Sweating pipes in the basement
sometimes prevent use of that space
as recreation room, workshop or
laundry. Cold-water lines covered
with non-sweat insulation will not
drip. Soil pipe insulation has to be
done before walls are closed and
plastered, but dripping pipes are
easily reached and can be corrected.

Clinic
_(Continued From First Page.)
usual coverage Is $5,000 for injuries
to one person (on or because of your
property). This limit may or may
not be sufficient, depending upon
your means. Injured parties will
sue you according to your obvious
wealth rather than the extent of
their injury. If your bank account
or the “elegance” of your home is
sufficient to impress a sob-sister
jury, follow the advice of your in
surance man and raise the limits of
your liability high enough for your
protection. Find out from him how
expensive the bites of your dog are
likely to be on and off your premises,
and what liability you have for
servants and workmen on your
place. An ordinary residence lia
bility policy does not cover against
injury to servants while pursuing
their duties in your house. Make
sure that you fully understand about
Three Burglary Insurances.
There are three types of burglary
insurance, and it is amazing how
often you do not happen to have
the right kind. These are resi
dence burglary, theft and larceny
insurance. The first—the broad
form, covers all your valuables in
a lump. The second insures only
specifically named items. The third
is a combination policy that covers
specifically named items in one por
tion of the policy such as jewelry
and furs, and general personal be
longings such as clothing, money
and furniture* in another. The
chances are you have the first,
broad form. Most people buy it
though it is usually the most ex
pensive. Ask the insurance man if
you are getting the best protection
this way o'- if you could save money
on the combination policy and stiil
get protection. And—just a thought
does your burglary insurance cover
your summer home? Have you per
sonal "hold-up" insurance?
Then there are all sorts of special
types of insurance which cover ex
pensive cameras, musical instru
ments, fine arts or personal jewelry,
insurance on your heating plant or
other valuable installation. Are
these properly covered and—Just as
important—are you paying for over
lapping' policies? For instance—we
will assume that you have fire and
burglary insurance on the contents
of your home. Furthermore, you
have a jewelry and fur "all-risk"
policy. This protects your jewelrv
s-"
and furs anywhere—in the theater,
in the home, on the street. But if
your furs and jewelry are included
in your fire and burglary policy your
all-risk policy is overlapping it and
you are paying twice for protection.
Ask your insurance man for advice
on all special coverage.
Accurate List of Dates.
When you have made a complete
study of your present coverage make
sure that you have an accurate list
of their expiration dates. Be sure
to see that all your policies are
properly countersigned by the in
surance agent.
You are now ready to revise your
present insurance so that you will
build a perfect protection plan for
your home at the lowest possible
cost. You must know how to shop
for this—just as you do for beds,
linens or shoes. You must know
certain fundamentals before you can
shop intelligently. In this case they
are simple, and only two. You must
know what you have to insure. You
: must know what policies are avail
! able to give you proper protection.
1. There is your obligation to so
ciety—protection for visitors, friends
i or neighbors, businessmen and serv
I ants.
2. Then your house, protection for
j your home and its contents. Take
a complete inventory of the con
tents of your house, from cellar to
attic, and base your estimate on
that. If you have ever refurnished
a house for any reason, you will
remember that you take for granted
the dining room table and the liv
ing room sofa as being worth a cer
tain number of hundred dollars—
but it is the dustpan and brush, the
brooms and the floor wax, the lamps
and the books—the million and one
(
little things that add up into the j
thousands of dollars to rebuy, that
we overlook in a general estimate
of the value of the contents of a
house.
Either you are or you are not
going to have a fire, accident or a 1
burglary at your house. If you are !
not, then you do not need insur- '
ance of any kin.d. If you are—then 1
you need protection that is adequate
to your loss. No halfway measures
are enough. Shop for your insur
ance, dear lady, as you would for
your Sunday dinner, and if the com
pany does not deliver the goods you
ask for—find out why.
Rail Urged for Safety
On Cellar Stairs
Cellar stairs deserve more consid
eration than they have been receiv
ing. Despite the fact that cellar
stairs bear more heavy loads than
other stairs In the house, they are
frequently constructed in a careless
manner.
While cellar stairs need not be
finished as well as the main stairs,
they should be given as much con
sideration a9 far as safety and use '
are concerned. A railing and ade- 1
quate head room are the two main
factors to remember.

Future Seen Showing
Building Costs of
today Low
Architect Contends
Large-Scale Housing
Long to Be a Benefit
Today’s building costs will seem
ow in the future, according to
Alfred Shaw of Chicago, director of
he American Institute of Archi
ects, and large-scale housing de
'elopments erected now—if prop
irly _ planned and spaced—will
ireatly benefit the public 20 years
lence.
"The housing program,” said Mr.
shaw in a statement issued today
ly the American Institute of Archi
ects, “will continue at its present
low advancement. As an individ
tal performance, it still has many
memies, but co-ordinated with
jroper regional and city planning
here is no question about the good
vhich housing, even the most criti
ized Government-subsidized hous
ng, can effect.”
War Affects Construction.
The European war has slightly re
arded building operations in the
llinois^Wisconsin area, Mr. Shaw
eports. “Except for the fact that
i limited number of war industries
nay have to build, building costs
lave had a slight lift because of
r ■ 1
the higher price for steel, lumber
and other commodities and gen
eral building has been retarded. It
is also true that some organizations
with a general expansion program
do not like to enlarge during a war
period. The war, therefore, will
affect the architectural profession.
“We are somewhat disturbed by
the low rate of employment in the
Chicago area as compared with the
Southwest and the general national
average. There are reasons, how
ever, to be hopeful.”
“Packaged Architecture” Hit.
Independent professional advice
to each client in place of a "pack
aged architectural project” is urged
by the Chicagp chapter of the in
stitute, according to Mr. Shaw. The
policy of public bodies and large
corporations of organizing their own
architectural bureaus, thereby cut
ting into the field of architecture, is
likewise opposed by the chapter.
Chicago architects have sponsored
the renaissance of the chapter's
Atelier, now operating under „ the
name of the Chicago School of Ar
chitecture. “The chapter is making
a great effort to attract able young
men to the profession,” Mr. Shaw
explains. “It is also taking intense
interest in securing significant ap
pointments to the new Chicago Plan
Commission and Advisory Board.”

ies. The walls are also painted blue
and a lounge chair is covered with
blue and orange plaid. Old-fashion
ed spatter-work treatment of the
painted floor blends flecks of bright
color with its brown background.

above the window duplicates in out
