Both the living room and Walls Hide Important Part of the Plumbing 'A very important part of the plumb lng of a house is hidden in the walls and under the floors, and for this reason the man who expects to build should deal only with plumbing contractors who can submit a list of homes .in which they have Installed plumbing that has given lasting satisfaction to the owners. The usual specifications drawn up by an architect cover the fixtures very definitely, but are quite general with reference to the pipes, valves, and fittings the essential yet concealed pan of the plumbing system. It is in this part of the plumbing system that the owner must depend on the plumbing contractor. It is in the concealed part of the plumbing system that quality is of the highest importance. Any breakdown in this part of the system necessl tates the cutting of walls and subjects the family to a great deal of expense and inconvenience.

They remained in Lithuania, intermarried with the native women, but did not give up their Moslem faith and customs. United with the remnants of the Tatar troops lent by the grand khan to the Lithuanian grand duke, most of whom fell in the wars with the Teutonic knights, these faithful followers of Mahomet planted the banner of the crescent in these northern regions and their descendants have kept it flying right down to today. In connection with the solemn celebration this year in all Lithuania of the 500th anniversary of the death of Vytautas the Great, the League of Lithuanian Tatars recently held a meeting in Kovno (Kaunas) and decided to build a central mosque in the capital city.

He will so install his pipes that there will be per-- , feet circulation of hot water. Furthermore, a good master plumber will insulate the pipes in the walls and under the floors, thus saving approximately 25 per cent in fuel in a circulating system. Usually specifications call for Insulation of pipes in the basement only. The good contractor will see to it that his workmen ream all cuts of pipes to remove burs before these pipes are threaded. Good contractors will also see to it that all pipes are laid to such a grade that the water will drain out of them when the plugs are opened.
