SHOULD RELY ON ARCHITECT Common Sense Owner Will Make No Suggestions Within Province of Expert, It Is Asserted. b : —_— . Architects face several hard prob- lems in the construction of a house for ‘a new owner. The latter believes that isince the money which pays for the house is his he must be given the lib- [erty to declare what builder is to get the job after all bids are in. The ‘owner forgets that the architect knows ‘more about building than he; that he 18 an expert in that line and for that 'reason the owner has hired him. The ‘common sense owner makes no sug- gestions within the province of the architect, but relies on his judgment. Should the owner be allowed his own way, he would oftentimes get into hot water, says an exchange. , Naturally the owner in awarding the contract would select the lowest bid- der because he is the lowest bidder. The lowest bidder may not be of suf- ficient financial means to meet obliga- tions in case he is given the contract, and mechanics’ liens tle up the con- struction of the house, making the owner the loser and not the builder. The architect, who probably knows the builder 1s not the proper man to build the house, advises against him. ~In this way the architect protects his cllent because he, by reason of his work, 1s able to discriminate between the unscrupulous and the scrupulous builders, and the financially-fitted and the builder with weak finances. SYSTEM OF NATIONAL ROADS We Will Soon See Necessity for Sep- arate Systems for Freight and ! Passenger Traffic. { President Rowe of the American Au- tomobile association says that in ten years the United States will be cov- ered with systems of national roads. By that time he says we will begin to see the necessity for separate systems for freight and passenger traffic. Pres- ent highways will be greatly multis plied and largely increased in width, The quality will be improved as the country begins to learn the art of road building. Good roads he be- leves, are the greatest practical step ¢mward national nransvadnass. A Robert Browning Story. Tennyson wore the same hat year after year, a big wide-awake, almost green with age. How long exactly he had had this hat nobody seems to know. His Inverness clonk was not quite so ancient, but had long since seen its best days. The great poet was scrupulously clean in his person, but he would not part with his old clothes, He seems to have clung as tena- ciously to his boots as to his hat. William ,Allingham records in his diary: “Robert Browning dined at Tennyson's last night. Tennyson in great force. FHe said, ‘This pair of dress bhoots is forty years old.” Brown- .ng said it was good evidence of the imortality of the solel” Prepare for Sudden Deeds. ‘We prepare ourselves for sudden deeds by the reiterated choice of good or evil which gradually determines character.—George Eliot.
