Rolling Homes That Gather No Rent Dec. 4.—Houses on wheels have come into unusual popularity during the recent and continuing scarcity of houses on foundation. England, of course, hag for manY years supported a large moving population which lived in "caravans," but these small horse-drawn houses have never become popular in America. The house built on a motor-car, however, has qualities more likely to recommend it to the American temperament, on the authority of a number of persons who have built them, and this method of escaping the rent-man is said to be increasingly popular. We are told of the case of a movie actor who found it hard to find lodgings, not only in his "home town," but in the various localities to which his business called him. He built a bungalow upon the chassis of a small, popular-priced truck. It cost him only about $500, exclusive of the truck, and he can use it either as a touring-car or a place of abode. Hinged boards, and other clever fittings, suggestive of the cabin of a ship, allow him to have any kind of room he desires.
