Theeig usually should be at least ten fee with a doorway that.is at least nitie feet high The length should be usu .ally as much as twenty feet and: width about eight orten feet per car. It is not by any means twice as e,xp•ensive - to build a'two-ea r garage as it is to ' construct a one -car .building. There is a growing tendency to build two - ca"" garages . g gee instead ofone car. More folks are coming to own g two cars. But when there is but one car in the fain sly 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 b fooud in the rear of the house. Some houses that are built on a high ph) of ground with theland sloping sharp ly toward the street represent a situa tion 'where locating the garage in th rear of the home is out or -the ques time In such an event it can be located in front, but the grading can be clone so that the` garage is mostly under ground and does not mar the beauty of the landscaping.' Thus located right on the street it has its a.dvan- tages, but this is not ordinarily the most desirable place- to put a garage. If possible, -the garage should be about on a level with the house. 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 the ground slopes away from the back of the house. PRESENT TENDENCY REVIEWED: There. is a growing , tendency to construct: garages that ase attached to the house: Some of these are located in the basements of holies. This ar- rangement makes -it convenient for. l -the owner who has to start out with his car in unfavorable weather. , On the other hand, the auto is a -fire haz- ard. If the garage is under the house its walls and roof should be fireproof, end if there inust be an entrance di- rect from the house to the garage the door :should be fireproof. If the gar- age is in the basement be sure there is no connecting door between it .and the furnace room, as gasoline fumes from the car may cause a disastrous explosion. If a garage • is attached to the house at the side or rear the same 'precaution about fireshould be taken. Architects have worked out attractive designs for attaching garages to houses. It is taken for granted that the (garage should be well constructed. There should be no. drafts. The doors and windows should fit tightly, so that the place oan be easily hewed if .de- sired. The only proper heat "foe a arage, however, is ,stearin or hot water. This can be piped from the house. A coal or wood stove in a garage would be extremely dangerous. The building should be constructed so as to keep out various animals ,,that might enter and damage a car.: e t e end met his little daughter at the bridge and presented her with a small sack of candy. Just before they reach- ed eached camp they overtook the small bare- foot 'boy are-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 andpoured out several pieces into the boy's out- stretched hand. After the boy had gone Gertie said rep`r'oachfully, "Papa, why did you give that milk -boy nearly all my candy?" ,"Why, my dear, you must be gener alts! Think of all the nice milk he brings, and they don't charge Much. for it. "Oh, well," said the little ,girl, still reproachful, "1 only had a few bits of candy, and he's got a whole cow full of: milk.,, .' i be substantial; Garage doors should open outwardly. When doors are opened, fasten them open so they will not 'slam back and forth. Keep the doors shut when the car is out or in: Itis possible to have them arranged so that they slide open straight across the door area or fold up like an ac- cordion or' slide on iron frames along the outside of the garage. There should be good quality of bolts and locks and other hardware. Beforti building a garage the owner of an .automobile should, carefully eon -i_ sider this 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 itsy owner many" worthof satis- faction and adequate protection for this, valuable possession.

The danger o of running a motor in a tightly,closed garage is frequently empliasizetl by tragic consequences to -those who do so.

During 1924 the out- put of copper in Canada, reached the remarkable figure ` of 101,565,000 pounds, the highest production since the close of the war. Ira 1918 there was 118,769,434 pounds produced, showing the possibilities, of this na- tural resource when occasion demands. Last year the output of copper was 86,881,537 pounds. There has been a very large in- crease in the use of copper in recent years, particularly in the electrical in- dustry, where fully 60:. per cent. of the world's output of copper is con- sumed. In a recent statement by'the Secretary of the CopPer and Brass Research Association, some figures„ of consumption were made available. In telephone and telegraph lines it is estimated that 1,400,000,000 pounds of copper have been used; while the present annual consumption for this purpose is 200,000,000 pounds; sub- marine cables ..contain. 20,000,000 pounds of copper; radio sets have used up 5,000,000 pounds. Harnessing of water -power and the building of trans- mission lines have'_ called for an enor- mous quantity of'copper , wire, The manufacture of automobiles absorbs large quantities of copper, varying from twenty pounds in the smaller car to 700 pounds. in the more expensive car. Street railway' lines use a large amount of copper, for trolley wires as well as in thebuild- ingof the cars, from one' to two thou- sand pounds being required for each car. Copper is also the principal ingre- dient in the manufacture of brass, which latter is made by fusing three parts of copper with two parts of zinc, although varying in proportion as to color and hardness required., A 'small percentage of iron is sometimes added to secure hardness. British Columbia and Ontario are the two principal producing provinces, the former largely predominating, three companies, the Granby, Britan- nia and . Consolidated, having large smelting and refining plants. In order to encourage the produc- tion of the higher grades of copper a bounty on copper bare and rods, made in Canada from copper produced in' Canada and sold for consumption in this country, was granted in 1923 for five years. As a result of this one Canadian electrical company is now rolling copper rods' in Canada. e a TTourists.. Leave Much Money Here. Many estimates are made as to the amount of revenue derived from the tourist traffic. It. is somewhat un- usual, however, to receive a direct t statement of expenditure by those who come to Canada for holiday purposes. The Natural Resources Intelligence Service of the Dept, of the Interior p is receiving a large number of en quiries for information on canoe c routes, motor trips and holiday re- sorts from many residents of the United States. 'Among these is one in h which the writer wants information concerning a canoe trip in North- western Ontario he contemplates mak- u ing this summer. He states that "one c year, when we figured out, we found! we had left $3,700 in your good Pro- o vince of Ontario, and I assure you it afforded us all great pleasure to dd to so.'f` This season promises to be an exceptionally active one for tourist business, especially among the areas where transportation is almost ex- clusively by canoe and portage.:. TOM��MX'S SAX ON CONDUCTORS"` By IreneeWilliums "Pa," Bald Tommy, aged'ten, who was sitting ata table, with both feet twisted, around the lege of said table, a pad of paper before frim, and,;a stub by pencil (Which looked as though It had been through a thrashing -ma- chine), grasped tightly in bis ,right hand• INo answer from Pa, who was very deep in war, peace, and Bolshevism, as 'fully explained in the eveningpaper. "Pa," said Tommy again. This time the word penetrated somewhat. ... ''Hub?" said Pa. "What's • conductor mean?" asked Tommy. Pa submerged again. "Pa!" said Tommy, louder. "What' conductor mean? Teacher: give u this here word, an' said we wuz to write anessy, an' explain jus' who conductor means." "Conductor?" said Pa changed from g war,ease and Bolshevism, to copper P ie Pp plate, gun metal, tin roofing and so forth. "A conductor is 'a gutter` pipe," "Gee!" excainied Tommy. "Gutter pipe?„ "That's•. what I said! Can't yeti un- derstand?" said Pa. , "A conductor is a gutter pipe and it carries off things. Now- don't bother Inc any more to- night!" Tommy looked bewildered for a mo enent. Then, producing a' knife, the blade of which looked as though it had been through two threshing machines, he haggled the stubby pencil until it was a little more stubby; then, Tub- bing some smudges which were ori, the paper until they were a little blacker, he proceeded to write about conduct- ors. This is what he had • for the Language- Class at school the next day: 'It's. awful 'nice to go to the oountre of a summer, and stay all summer- You loin go barefut, an' do as you plese, if you don't live there; you kin go black-berryin an' wade in the crik, an' eat green apples, -an' git up when you piece, if you don't live there; if you life there, you have to git up by moonlit, an' milk Bows with lanterns— but if you_ don't live there, you kin git up "an' go a-fishin'.
