NOTHER of the new brick houses designed by the method known as modular co- ordination is shown below. The use of brick in the building of these houses gives the homes a particularly happy appearance of solidity and stability not always found in dwellings employing the various methods of stun- dardisation construction.
This impression of stability is heightened when the houses have an upstairs and down, as
shown here. Instead of being all on one floor.

Luggage Care
Worker in the activities
WITH travel looming over
of
our daily life, luggage takes on new and added Importance.
Just because luggage comes in for and can take a lot of hard knocks in transit, many uro Inclined to feet that it deserves no special care. They bang it around, store it any old place, under a bed, in a cold, damp basement, In an airtight closet. place it under a whole pile of stuff, even use it as n bedside table.
Ono American leather goods manufacturer tells us just how to look after their wares, to keep each plece trim, smart and serviceable. We were remind- ed that dirt, grease, and exces- sive moisture or humidlly are the greatest enemies of leather and fabric finishes. So cellars do not maka good luggage storage places. But if that is the only storage space avaliable, wrap the suitcase in very heavy brown paper. Even better, use

If luggage has been stored in an air-tight closet, before using, Arst clean the bag with a damp, soft nnp cloth, and while slight- ly damp, apply saddle soap or a light cont of neats foot oil or castor oil, finishing off with good polishing with a neutral wax. The same formula holds good for luggage with fabrie Anishes.
